HT1329 I lost my iTunes in my old computer. How do I transfer my music files in my ipod (old generation) to the new iTunes (which is currently blank) set up in my new computer?

I lost my iTunes in my old computer. How do I transfer my music files in my ipod (old generation) into the new iTunes (which is currenelty blank) set up in my new computer. Thanks for your help.

You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer's hard drive, you can add them to your iTunes library.
NOTE:  You can also re-download previous song purchases from the iTunes Store at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

    If you only copy your Files you will lose your favorites. The best Way to copy your Library to the New Computer is to Export your libery (you can find the Export in the menue). This will copy your Wohle Library on cd. If you Out in These cd's in your new Computer iTunes will copy it with all informations.
    While that may work, it is extremely time consuming and unnecessary.
    Copying the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer will keep the library intact.

  • How do I transfer my music files from Sony Sonic Stage to iTunes?

    When iTunes prompts me to transfer my music files into iTunes the files in Sonic Stage are not transfered and I cannot find a way to transfer them over.
    Dell Inspiron 1150   Windows XP  

    I tried to transfer songs from Sonic Stage but the formats simply aren't compatible. I ended up burning all of the songs I'd purchased with Sonic Stage onto cd's and importing them in to iTunes. Pain in the butt and time consuming but at least I didn't lose my music.
    Don't trash your Sonic Stage though! I moved my songs to iTunes and now am unable to burn with it. I'm so glad I didn't wipe out everything from Sonic Stage since I've reverted back to using it when I have to burn or if I want to do a compilation cd. Can't hurt to cover your bases.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a abckup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your computer:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I transfer my music library from my ipod Clasic to a new computer

    I  have an ipod classic and I would like to transfer all my library store in my ipod to my new Pc.  I read the instructions,but my itunes are different from the mac itunes I have the latest 10.63 and I'm not understanding what to do. My entire library is on the ipod and I hate to loose it.
    Can you please help me.
    Thank you Carmen Arocena

    1. In Windows Explorer, go to Tools > Folder Options > View. In the Advanced Settings list, under Hidden files and folders, check the radio button for “Show hidden files and folders”. Then click OK. You’ll get a Windows security warning but it’s safe enough to disregard it as we will only be disabling this function for a short while.
    2. Plug in your iPod. In Windows Explorer, a folder will now appear with the name of your iPod.
    Double-click on that. Go to the sub-folders “iPod_Control” and then “music”. You’ll find your music there randomly scattered across multiple folders and with scrambled file names. But don’t worry, the ID3 tags are still fully intact and we are now going to “unscramble” the files.
    3. But first copy all the music from those iPod folders into a new folder on your hard-drive. Move all the songs into one single folder and discard all the folders that your iPod made. By the end, you should have one folder in your hard-drive with all the scrambled files together.
    4. Open up iTunes and do the following : Go to Edit > Preferences. Under the Advanced tab, under the General “sub-tab”, select the local folder where you have copied the music from your iPod (by clicking Change…).
    Check the box “Keep iTunes Music folder organized” and click OK. Also make sure you have wiped all previous music from iTunes so your playlists are blank.
    5. In iTunes, click “File” then “add folder to library”. Select the folder where all your copied music is. iTunes will now re-import all your music back into the playlists. But more importantly, because you have previously clicked “Keep iTunes Music Folder organised”, iTunes will now start renaming and organising your songs into their correct names, albums and folders. This may take a while depending on how many songs you have in your iTunes library.

  • I had my music stored on iTunes on my laptop, which is no longer working, so I bought an iPad, but cannot work out how to transfer my music files from my iPod to my iPad. Why is there no way of connecting one to the other??? Frustrated

    I had my music stored on iTunes on my old laptop which is no longer working. I purchased an iPad 2 but don't understand why there is no way of connecting my iPod to my iPad to transfer my music over. Is there an app or something I can use to operate my iPod through my iPad, instead of a PC? If not, then I guess I should've bought a new lap top instead of an iPad.

    Select all songs ctrl A, right click - Download.

  • I have a macbook air.  I was unable to fit all my music onto it so i moved iTunes onto an external hard drive.  How do I transfer my music (80GB) onto my iPod classic?

    I recently bought a Macbook air.  I had 80gb so I moved iTunes onto an external hard drive.   How do i move that music onto my iPod classic?

    You can only sysc with one iTunes library. The new computer is a new library. You have to restore your iPod on the new conputer and then sync.

  • How do I transfer a music file (song) from iTunes list to my iPOD? The Apple help files do not make any sense in this regard.

    How do I transfer a song from itunes to my ipod (they are connected). The Apple help files are truly pathetic in this fundamental function.
    For example they say click on the "summary" button ... I find no summary button anywhere on my screen. How's that for a confidence builder?

    This talks about iTunes 10, but it should work the same way in iTunes 11. Transferring purchases for an iDevice to your Mac.

    It should be File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, I think
    You must be using the same Apple ID in iTunes on your Mac that your son is using on the Mini or the movie will not transfer.

  • How do I transfer my music library from my IPOD to my new computer.  My old computer is no longer working.

    I'm trying to transfer my library to a new computer because my old computer no longer works.  I've gone through all the steps apple recommended but the ITUNES file is not recognized on my IPOD on the new computer. 

    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side to select which of your music to sync to the iPad's Music app

  • How can I get EVERY music file on my iPod onto my new Mac, not just the songs purchased off of the iTunes store?

    So I've got an iPod classic with songs on it from the iTunes store, from CDs of my own, from free online playlists, etc. and when I plug it into my new Mac laptop the only songs that show up on iTunes are the ones I actually purchased in the iTunes store with my old computer (not a Mac). How can I copy ALL the music on my iPod onto my new Mac?
