I am trying to use Home Share to transfer my itunes account onto another computer, but when I try to Import, it does not allow me to click it. Therefore, I cannot import my music or apps.
iPod touch (4th generation), Windows 8
Hi Nisha92999,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You are referencing the correct article for transferring your music to a new computer. Home sharing is one of the ways to do this. It requires you to use the same Apple ID on both computers. If you continue to have issues after following all of the steps in the article you referenced, I would suggest trying the External Drive option. Unlike Home Sharing, it creates a backup of the iTunes library on an external drive.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527?viewlocale=en_US
This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
Cheers,
- Judy
