Bad Crash, iTunes library survives, now in isolation on new computer.

Brief background, Had 4800 iTunes installed on computer 1, using iTunes 6.xxx software. Computer went south. Bought new unit, #2.
Unit #1 motherboard fried. Could not use machine. Had HD removed professonaly and installed into #2 as a slave. It is now known as F/drive.
New unit is currently running iTunes lastest and greatest version and has about 35 songs on it.
What instalation/update/transfer protocol do I use to get iTunes from F/drive with an old iTunes version over to the C/drive with the 7.3.3 iTunes? Whateven happend to Drag and Drop. Didn't Mac invent THAT? Or, did Bill buy the rights to that TOO.
Hurry please, there are some old country standards from the 50's waiting to be heard again. :--) Larry

Run the itunes consolidate command so it will put all the files in one folder.
Does your existing PC have enough space on either the C: or D: drive to do this?

    I have a new computer now with windows 8. Old one was windows 7. The itunes library contains all I expect on new computer. Ipod will not sync with content. It says it is syncing but only picks up 1 tune. Solution please. I am on itunes 64 but it makes no difference from 32 bit.

  • My itunes library doesn't show on my new computer

    My itunes library doen't show on my new computer. What can I do to fix this issue?

    Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

  • HT4527 How can I transfer my iTunes library from my iPad to my new computer?

    My hard drive crashed without recent backup and I would like to transfer my iTunes library from my iPad to the new hard drive. Some tunes transferred and some didn't. Thanks.

    Non-iTunes purchases cannot be transferred from an iDevice to computer via iTunes.
    The simplest solution is to simply move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.  Why anyone would choose to make life more difficult by screwing around with transferring purchases from an iDevice and using 3rd party software to extract non-iTunes purchases is beyond me. 
    IF for some reason there is no backup of the old computer and/or the old computer is no longer accessible, then try google for solutions.
    Do yourself a favor going forward, backup your media and other important data.

    how to upload iTunes library from an iPad to a new computer

    If you still have access to the old computer, see the following document:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    If you need to recover the library from the iPad, there's some third party applications available for recovering content off a device. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

  • My old computer crashed, i have a new computer, is there anyway to transfer the itunes library from my iphone to my new computer?

    Help! My old computer crashed, and I have a bunch of music that I don't have on cd any longer, is there anyway to move the library I have on my iPhone now to my new computer I just bought?

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music and contents, you may have to use a third party software to copy over. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • How to transfer my iTunes library from a hard disc to new computer?

    Could anybody help me with this issue? I've tried everything I could without any succes...
    My computer where I had my iTunes library (complete with many info and ratings) crashed and I lost all my archives. Luckly I had a copy of everything in an external hard disc. My iPod works fine with all the songs from that library. I bought a new computer, but now I cannot transfer the data of the library from the hard disc to the new computer.
    I'd really appreciate if somebody could help me...
    Many thanks, Rui

    Great! Very simple actually (once you know). The library is now corrected listed on iTunes, with my original playlists and the ratings.
    But now how do I bring the music files? I've tried to import them from the hard disk, but iTunes didn't synchronize with the ones listed on the library, so there are duplicates of all songs and the ones I can play are not the ones on my playlists and with the ratings.
    Do you have another brilliant solution?
    Thanks in advance

  • How can I copy my iTunes library with playcount information to a new computer?!?

    Hello,
    I'm about to get a new computer. I have all my music on a external HD, so I won't have problems preserving my music. But I would like to preserve other information too. Especially the play count information. I think it's interesting how my top 25-most-played looks like, and the play count list I have now, took me 2 years to get.
    So my question is: Does anyone know how I can copy my iTunes library with all its information (play count, rating, comments, images, last played date etc.) to a new computer?
    Thanks a lot!

    Connect the external HDD to the iMac, launch iTunes while holding down the Option key. Choose the option to select library and navigate to the top level folder of the iTunes media on the external. Select it and click OK.

  • How do I move my iTunes library on external HDD to a new computer?

    My iTunes library has always been on an external drive.  It has moved from an eMac(10.4) to a Mac Mini(10.5) and I'm trying to move it to an iMac(10.8).  How can I do this? I've set the preferences to the external HDD, but this point and play doesn't work.  If I select an item via the folder and select open with iTunes, the item then appears in the iTunes listing.

    Connect the external HDD to the iMac, launch iTunes while holding down the Option key. Choose the option to select library and navigate to the top level folder of the iTunes media on the external. Select it and click OK.

    To completely ensure your ipod is empty, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
    This completely erases the iPod hard drive.

  • How can i get my pictures and music from my ipod to my itunes library after having to get a new computer where none of my file exist

    please help i dont know how to do this and i dont want to loose my pictures or music that is on my ipod and not my computer i had to restore my windows and i lost everything but its still on my ipod touch 8 gb

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use this to put everything back.
    The music and pic sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good) then you can transfer itunes purchases:  Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
    If the pics are pics taken with ipod, then you can import them as you would from any digital camera.  otherwise you can e-mail them to yourself.

  • I had dowloaded all of my itunes library to my iphone from my home computer/my computer crashed and all of the music that was on my itunes is only on my iphone now. How do I take that music from my iphone and put it onto my itunes on my new computer?

    I had downloaded all of my itunes library to my iphone from my home computer, My home computer crashed and all my itunes library was lost but it is still on my iphone. Is there a way that I can take all the music on my iphone that is all of my music from my itunes from my old computer and download it to my new computer that I have another itunes on? I tried to sync the music on my iphone to my itunes and I could not figure out a way to sync the music without erasing all of the music on my iphone. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work
