Q: How do I transfer music from a PC to a Mac using an external hard drive?

I just purchased a MacBook Pro and have all my music and pictures saved to an external harddrive but I can not figure out how to transfer my music over from the hard drive without issues.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

     

    To transfer the music from the external drive to your Mac, it depends if you want to save your music in a folder or in iTunes.

     

    To copy your music to your iTunes library, simply open iTunes and open a Finder window with your external drive open. Then, just drag your music to the iTunes window, so your music will be transferred to your computer.

     

    The process is the same if you want to copy your music to another folder, but instead of opening iTunes, open a Finder window with the folder where you want to copy your music
