Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to copy my itunes library from my windows computer to my mac computer. I also wanted to know how to place the cursor at the beginning or end of a text field. The command calls for the home and end keys but I do not have those keys so what do I do instead?

Hi. To copy your music, find the iTunes media folder with all the actual files on the Windows machine and copy it onto an external hard drive. Then plug the hard drive into your Mac, open iTunes and copy and paste the media folder into iTunes. If you've a lot of stuff then it may take a few hours to do all this. HTH

Thanks for the answer to my question about how to navigate to the beginning and end of the edit box. For my question about copying my itunes library. Where do I copy the files to in iTunes? does it go in a particular place?

If you actually open the iTunes application itself, you should be able to literally drop it on to the window. I'd drop it on to the main "scroll area" where the list of songs etc. would be.

The best way I've found to move an iTunes library is to network the computers, set up iTunes sharing on both, your new iTunes will be blank but even if it is not, this will work. When you share the old library with the new one, you can have the new library import all the content. Good luck.
