How do I backup my itunes library to cd?

Hi.
Can anyone please post the link to support or is able to give me instructions on how to backup my itunes library to a cd?
Many thanks.

iTunes won't do it any more. You can use whatever 3rd party CD/DVD burning tools came with your machine, but I'd recommend you use an external hard drive and backup the library with this User Tip.

  • HT1373 How do I backup my itunes library to an external drive

    My iTunes library is unstable.  I have two questions:
    1) How do I backup my iTunes library to an external drive?
    2) Why am I constatntly prompted to add my computer to iCloud when I have done so multiple times?
    When opening iTunes, I receive he error message: "Please Sign In Again,  iTunes Match has encountered an error.  Please choose Sign Out and he Sign In from the iTunes Store menu and try again."
    I tried downloading and installing/repairing the latest iTunes.  That did not correct the problem.
    Also, I have sync'd to iCloud.  Every time I select iMatch from iTunes, I am prompted to Add This Computer to iCloud.  I have already done this multiple times.

    Hello cijackson,
    You posted your question in the iTunes for Mac Forum. You may get better results on the iTunes for Windows forum. Best of luck > https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows?view=overview

    I presume your songs were on the computer before you updated to the recent version. If so see Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash or
    Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. For backup advice see the user tip Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.
    I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "print" your library, but I have a script called ExportCSV that can be used to export selected data which can then be read with a spreadsheet such as Excel.

  • How do I backup my iTunes library to an external drive?

    Hi there,
    Is there any way of backing up my itunes library direct to a backup device such as an external hard drive or online back up software? The only option I can see is to back up to disc but that will take 50 discs!

    *Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows Only)*
    Grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time. And if your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes.

  • How do I backup the iTunes Library to an external hard drive?

    I have no space on my computer anymore for anything and I need to export and save all my music on an external hard drive (MYbook) is that possible??? Do I really need to just backup everything on OUTDATED CDs or what???!!! That just seems like an insane process and I know it's possible for MAC users...

  • How do I backup an iTunes library if it is on an external harddrive

    Hi
    Like so many I have an iTunes library that is rapidly outgrowing my internal harddrive. (ahh Dr Who why did you have to be so good!!??!)
    I have been using timemachine to backup my MacBook's drive.
    I found articles:
    How to move iTunes library to external drive (pretty much simple as!!) I even have the perfect portable drive
    How to Back up iTunes to an external drive (also simple)
    But what I can't find (and maybe I am being stupid?) is how to back up that new iTunes library (in future backups) now that it is on it's own external drive.  Do I need to move it to the MacBook each month and do a manual back up? - pretty sure time machine wont back up the external drive (even though the time machine drive is way big enough)
    Not having used external drives too often I am not sure if maybe I can back up the library by following the procedure for backing up to an external drive but just picking the library from where it sits on a second external drive to start it - guess I could just test this before I delete the internal library?
    Both of my ideas seem time consuming (and a bit "waving the rubber chicken" to quote Merlin Mann) - any recommendations for a more automated process - the whole reason for me using Time machine is it works without me having to be involved. 
    Any help would be appreciated
    My need exceeds my skills
    Thanx

  • How do I backup entire iTunes library to iCloud with Windows XP

    Have just downloaded iTunes version 10.5.1 and am wanting to backup my entire library to icloud which in the description of the update it says it can now do. How do I do it?? Can't work it out..
    Im running Windows XP. (unless this is another thing that XP can't do with iCloud...)
    Thanks in advance..

    I'm sure I read in the description of the update info of version 10.5.1 that it was a new option. Maybe I misread it?? Im intrigued about iTunes match now. I'll google it & find out about it...
    Thanks!

    Hello, I was reading some of the discussions that you participated in and i wanted to ask you for help.
    I have a 30GB Video ipod and I need help!
    About two weeks ago, my computer crash and I had to restore everything back to the computer. I share the laptop with my sister who also have an ipod.
    We re-registered both of our ipod and the itune icon popped on. When we went to the itunes and plugged the ipod into it. It shows all the songs on the ipod, it recognize the ipod and ask do you want to replace existing file. We selected yes and it delected all the songs from her ipod. So we don't want it to do the same to the other ipod. How do I restore the music that I lost from the ipod that was delected? Or how do I save the music that is on the other ipod to the computer so that I can continue updating it, without delected songs that are already on it?
    If you could please help me with this, I would really appreciated.
    You could reply or just hit me at my email address
    my email address is [email protected]
    Thank you very much for any help that you can offer

  • How to copy backup of iTunes library onto another computer?

    My primary laptop with my music library just crashed. I have a older laptop that I plan to use while I get the other repaired. I have a complete backup of my music library on external drive. After installing iTunes on the spare laptop I copied the backup music library to the iTunes music folder. However, when I start itunes, nothing shows up in iTunes. This has probably been discussed but several searches have not found how to recover this. Does anyone know what the process is?
    Thanks

    If you want to backup your iPod onto another computer you can download a program called "iPod to computer transfer" at the following URL:

  • How I can transfer my itunes library to my Time Capsule?

    how I can transfer my itunes library to my Time Capsule?

    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder
    But, before you do this, you might want to think about how you will backup the iTunes library that will be moved to the Time Capsule. (Time Machine cannot do this).
    Since you will need another hard drive as the target for the backup of the iTunes library, it might make more sense to move your iTunes library to a hard drive attached directly to your Mac.
    Then, Time Machine will back up both your Mac...and....the attached hard drive to your Time Capsule using Time Machine.

  • How do I restore my iTunes library from a backup?

    Like an idiot I deleted my Itunes library after backing it up to an external HD. After doing this I deleted my original iTunes library and lo and behold I had no music. I thought I would be able to play them from the external HD but this wasn't the case. I did restart iTunes with the option key pressed and I was asked where I want to take my music from, but when I selected the copy I had made I got a window pop up

    I since copied the folder back from my external HD (but not using Time Machine as I use another HD for that), but how can I restore all my playlists I had before, is this possible?

    All your playlist info is in the iTunes Music Library.xml file. If you deleted that, you are out of luck. If you can find the iTunes Music Library.xml file in your backup, see if this document can help you: How to re-create your iTunes library, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
