My old computer with my iTunes library on along with my iPod was destroyed in a fire. I have since got a new laptop and iPod plus started a new library with a new email address. How do I get the purchased tracks from my old library onto my new one?

Obviously I spent a lot of money on my old computer and on tracks for the iTunes library plus iPod and I don't wish to have to buy all those tracks again - though I had no choice but to buy a new laptop and iPod.

It looks as though i would be in situation where i have both accounts on the same computer but need a seperate ipod for each but i cant afford to but another ipod so i am letting things be as they are. I now back-up all my stuff in my current itunes library to an external driver so if the laptop breaks down i at least have saved the music to install on a new laptop or netbook. I would sign up for the icloud to save my music on that but as i understand it the cloud will only hold itune purchased tracks and those imported from cds and not any mp3 tracks purchased from another online retailer.
Thanks for helping me come to a long overdue descision on my original query.

1) Copy all music files to a thumb drive / external hard drive.
2) Open iTunes on your MacBook Pro (congrats!)
3) Under the File Menu, select "Add to Library." Navigate to the folder with your music in it and click "Open." Bam! Music.

I redeemed my $25 itunes gift card on a new account with no email address how do I get the credit on my regular itunes account?

I got a $25 itunes gift card and tried to redeem it on my regular itunes apple ID account and I had a message saying the code was invalid so I made a new account and redeemed it on that account but it doesnt have a valid email address and I cant even remember what it was how do I get the credit from wherever it is onto my regular itunes apple ID account?

Qauzzy, The credit was applied to the account you used at the time you redeemed the card. There is no way to transfer the credit to another account.
You might as well just spend the $25 on the new account, and then stop using it and go back to your regular account..
For future reference, do not start a new account just because you have a problem with the code. Rather, follow the suggestions in this document: iTunes Store: Invalid, inactive, or illegible codes

How do I get a purchased ringtone from my music library to Ringtones?

I've purchased a couple of ringtones from itunes but they downloaded into my music library and I can't figure out how to move them to the Ringtones folder in my library. I tried going back to itunes and downloading them directly onto my phone but they show "purchased" and will only play, not download.
TIA
alice

No, what I actually purchased was a ringtone. I actually purchased it on my iphone from contacts by selecting a contact, clicking edit, clicking ringtone, clicking "buy buy more tones", being taken to the "tones" section of the itunes store, finding the tone I wanted in the "tones" section of the itunes store and buying it. It download as an m4r file and remains in m4r file. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, I cannot get this m4r ringtone file that I purchased from the itunes store "tones" section from the music folder in itunes media to the ringtones folder.

HT1600 I just want to download the apple tv softwhere...I have no settings options on ituens and no genreal option after settings on my windows 8... how can i get the softwear

I just want to download the apple tv software on to my pc...however I cant seem to find this anywhere and my laptop doesn't reconsie the apple tv device!!

You can't download it to your PC. The only way is to connect Apple TV to your computer and restore via iTunes (which will load the current firmware).
Make sure you are following the steps exactly (unplug all cables, then connect micro usb cable)
Make sure you are connecting directly to computer, not a keyboard port or USB hub
Try a different cable
Also may want to check any firewall and security software installed on the system.

I've logged onto iTunes, but it's asking me security questions because it's a new device, and I'm getting the answers wrong, but iTunes wants to reset but send the new passwords to my ex partners email address how can I get round this.

I believe part of the recovery process is you get an e-mail allowing you to reset questions. If that e-mail isn't correct either because your son set it up then you really have no option but to ask Apple again. They are getting strict abotu security and given the number of "My iTunes account got hacked" posts here I can guess why. They have no way of knowing you really are the owner of the account. It's like me going to a policeman and saying, "See that car over there? That is mine, can you open the door for me?" and the police opening it on that basis alone.

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) you will need a third-party program to copy them back from your iPad - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

How do I get the Air to add my music library to iTunes?

I successfully used migration assistant to transfer all my music from a Windows PC to my new Mac Air. How do I get the Air to add my music library to iTunes?

msailar wrote:
thanks for the hint Chris. I took your meaning of the word "respind" as restarting my Air after the migration.
Actually, it was "respond" (to this post).
If you are not sure of anything below, post back before deleting anything.
You can simply copy the items tin the migrated user to your current user account.
Drag the Music folder, Pictures folder and Documents folder to /Users/Shared.
Then log out of this user and log into your regular user account.
Open 2 finder windows. On teh Finder icon in the dock, right click - New Finder window
Open one to Users/Shared & the other to your user.
On Shared, open Music and drag the contents to your user Music folder.
Do the same for Pictures and Documents (into the same folders).
After it finishes copying, open iTunes and everything should be there.
You can then delete /Users/Shared/Music/ folder.
Do the same for Pictures & Documents.
After everything is copied and you are sure it's in your current user folder, go to System prefs > Users & Accounts and you can delete the new user that you did Migration Assistant with.

How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive? [I want to show the Cloud Purchases.]

Hey Hey!
Running OSX 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3
I am pretty sure that this has been addressed somewhere, but I could not find it - so thanks up front!!!
How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my iTunes Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive? I want to show the Cloud Purchases without having hundreds of GBs taking up my HD space.
Thanks!

Deborah,
You cannot import contacts from your Nano to your PC via iTunes. The syncing process is only one way. However, if you enable disk mode on your iPod, open it up in a Windows Explorer window, you should see a Contacts folder. From there you can copy them back over to your PC.
Even though this article is talking about adding contacts to the PC, it should walk you through some of the steps mentioned above.

HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

How do I get the music off of my old iphone?

How do I get the music off of my old iphone?

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

HT1920 how do i get all my music from my old e-mail account to be on my new account?

We moved, my e-mail address changed & I had to create a new itunes account because I could not open my old itunes account due to loss password. How do I get all my music from my old account to be uploaded onto my new account?

You can't, all content is tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't transfer content between accounts nor merge accounts.
If you can't remember the password for that account then have you tried getting it reset : http://iforgot.apple.com ?
If that doesn't let you reset it then you can try contacting iTunes Support / Apple and see if they can reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
If you can get it reset you can then update the primary email address to another address (which can't be being used on another account), either via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, or via http://appleid.apple.com

HT203433 i purchased a cd on my phone but the whole cd didnt download to my computer how can i get the missing tracks to download

i purchased a cd but when downloaded to my computer some of the tracks was missing how can i get the missing tracks to download???

On computer go into iTunes store, in the Quicklinks section click on purchased, go to music not on this computer and you should find all music still in the cloud.
On phone open music, choose store at top of screen, then choose the More option at bottom of next screen, look in downloads where anything waiting to download should be. If nothing there go to Purchased, click on Music, Not on this Phone and you should see any iTunes music you have bought that is not downloaded to the phone.
