Hello,
I just bought my first Mac about a week ago. I am enjoying it, but still learning a lot!
I want to transfer my iTunes from my PC to my Mac. I know there are suggestions of how to go about this, and I did find this:
To move files by connecting your Mac directly to your PC:
1. Connect your Mac to your PC using a standard Ethernet cable.
2. Make sure that both computers are turned on.
3. In the Finder on your Mac, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu to open the window.
4. Type your PC's network address in the Server Address text box using one of these formats:
* smb://DNSname/ShareName
* smb://IPaddress/ShareName
5. Click Connect.
6. Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your PC's workgroup name, user name, password, and the volume or folder you wish to access.
7. Your PC volume should appear on your Mac Desktop.
8. Open the volume and drag and drop files directly from it to anywhere on your Mac.
9. When finished, drag your PC volume to the Trash to unmount it.
I have no clue as to what the bolded section means. DNSname? ShareName? What are those things? Also what is the PC's workgroup name?
I am new to a lot of computer-related things and this is over my head. Can someone give me the "iTunes transfer to Mac for dummies" version of these instructions?
I can't wait to get my iTunes up and running on the Mac. Its the last thing I have to do to make the transition complete. Thank you in advance!!
