Broken laptop with my itunes!

Hi,
Im having a problem! I have broken my laptop with my itunes on it and now i got myself a new laptop and im wondering how or is it possible to re download all my itunes data? would be a great help thank you.

ohh srry used to talking like that at work but. when i mean flash it over. im talking about a flash drive. and just copy pasting it over into the folder you want.(u have direct connnect cables so theres no point to that lol).
umm as to it sorting itself out if the data isnt corrupted at all and you are using the same or newer ver. of itunes it should just put your library right back to the way it was on your other computer. if the itunes ver. is the same or newed than you will get a library error saying that the library was created by a newer ver. of itunes.
however if the data is corrupted ripping the music off from itune's media folder would be best. then just reload it. itune's media folder should be in the "my music" folder given you didn't change the name of the folder. if u still cannot find the files you are looking for. and u want to be safe then just type "iTunes Media" (no quotes) into your search bar when you have your old harddrive selected and it will auto find. though i hate doing it because windows search function works as fast as a legless horse...im very impatient and i can usually search through like every file in my computer before it finds anything even related to itunes lol.
umm yea should work lol.... mabey the clone just didn't copy that certain folder properly. after cloning i always reinstall all my more advanced programs. (not that itunes is advanced lolol)
so if you haven't gotten accostumed to your itunes library to much just replacing the folder with your old one could work (can always back up your old one so no harm in trying.) as long as u keep two of everything. than just screw around with it. you won't screw up any system files just by moving around libraries. might screw up your playlists but thats not that much of a loss unless you have like 100 gigs of music and each playlist sorts like different genres..(idk who would do this but eh someone mighta been bored enough at one point.)

How do I combine an iTunes library on an external hard drive (laptop) with an iTunes library on an external hard drive on my PC?

How can I combine the iTunes library on an external hard drive (hooked to laptop) with the iTunes library on an external hard drive (hooked to PC) so that both external HD's and both laptop and PC have all the music on each one?

no need to create a secondary library - too troublesome, IMHO. you can spread your library over as many drives you can connect to your Mac (wired or wirelessly):
iTunes > preferences > advanced.
point iTunes media folder location to the external
on the same tab, ensure the copy files ... when adding option is checkmarked
okay out of preferences
highlight the content to be moved in iTunes and right-click
select consolidate files from the pop-up menu
wait for the process to finish
when done, you may delete the original files from your boot drive.
alternatively, you could move the whole shabang to the external HD:
copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music to the external, launch iTunes while holding the option(⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external.
when done, be sure to point iTunes media folder location to the external so that new additions to your library will be put there. also, you need to make sure the external is mounted on your desktop before you fire up iTunes.

The right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu.

Hey, I'm trying to authorize my new laptop with my iTunes account. How would I go about doing this?

Hi Michael1296,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps to authorize a computer in iTunes:
How do I authorize a computer?
Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You might need to show the menu barto see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still use it to authorize your computer.
If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer.
You can find these steps and more information at this link:
Authorize your computer using iTunes
All the best,
Jeremy

Hi Roger, Many thanks I found the authorization section activated it and it was confirmed by itunes. But then I encountered another problem as attempting to sync my computer to my ipad i still received the same notification that it was not authorized so I really would not know how to rectify that so any assistance would be appreciated,
Thanks John
I was under the impression that once you had authorised the computer, transferring purchased and other songs to your iPod/iPad wasa then straightforward. However it gets more complicated with apps, and as I don't have an iOS device I can't advise. You've actually asked in the forum for questions about these forums, and you would do better to ask in the iPad forum, where people who actually have these toys hang out.

Your question involves too much detailed reading for me, but here's the way to create a custom ringtone for your iPhone on your Mac:
Use GarageBand.
Check Help > Create Ringtone there.

My laptop with my iTunes on it has died. I have iCloud and an iPad so can I use that instead? Do I simply log in with my apple id? Also I have a new iPhone how do I sync that up? Will my old iPhone be saved on iCloud? Thanks

My laptop is broken, hard disk failure. It's gone to the hospital but it will require a new hard disk. I have an iPod. I also have iCloud which everything ( I think) has been backed up to. I have an new iPhone and need to sync it up. Can I sync it to my iPad? So I can retrieve the back up? Scratching my head a bit!

iPad not iPod!

Sync two laptops with same itunes account

I have two macbooks that share the same itunes account. The data is not synced, so I have some songs on one but not on the other. I am sharing, but I want to sync them so the data is the same on both. Any ideas?

you could see if Doug's AppleScripts has a script that helps with the pre-home sharing content.
alternatively, you could move your library to a centralized location and have your Mac's access the same library file. click here for information.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

What exactly is the yellow representative of on the 'capacity' bar when i sync/update my iphone on my laptop with my itunes.

I ask because my iphone is full and yet I have such a small amount of playlists in my music and so very few photos compared to my friends, and even when I delete photos it still tells me I'm over capacity and the yellow section of the bar which is decribed as 'other' is taking up half of my memory and I dont know where to go to find out what the 'other' stuff is!!

look to the right at more like this -----> look for the thread with the green check mark.

It's possible. You just have to be very diligent about signing out of one account to use the other.

I have a broken laptop which I can not get into on which my itunes library is stored, I have set up another library on my new laptop but I can not add tunes etc., without sync and erasing because you can only be registered to one library, how do I get around not having to start all over again putting music on my ipod, and spending loads more money downloading, I have the 1st generation ipod nano
many thanks

#1: Hundreds of non-itunes songs no longer play on laptop or iPod Touch! #2: How to recover music from a broken laptop to put it on my new one?

Old problem that has never been figured out: I had hundreds of songs on my old laptop before itunes, some of them downloads from years ago and some of them ripped from CDs. After getting an ipod touch a few years ago, I put all 900 and some of the old songs plus new ones purchased from itunes on the ipod and played them for a long time (year or 2 probably?). Now, all of the sudden the non-itunes songs are grey on my computer AND ipod, and I am not able to click on them or play them. Why is this?
New problem that I will be severely p1ssed off about if it can't be resolved: Previously mentioned laptop with all of the music on it stopped working, so I purchased a new laptop and now, the only songs that show up in my newly downloaded itunes are the purchased ones. No music from old downloads, no music from CD's, and no playlists created on my old computer. Only a list of the songs that I purchased directly from itunes. I no longer have all the CD's that funded my 950+ song collection and have no way of getting that music (or the downloaded music) back if I can't access the broken laptop. What do I do now?!

I need to install the HP drivers on a laptop with a broken screen in order to get VGA port to work.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
Hewlett Packard Model: 2000 2a20ca Notebook
Oh my god please give me some insight here, it is so hard to find the right answers and I refuse to lose to this technical box that's driving me nuts! So here's the run down:
My screen broke on laptop...fine. It was connected via HDMI to TV and working fine. Until one day it decided to not turn on. I think due to Windows updates and hubby had no patience so kept restarting
I tried to reload Windows on it, not thinking about the drivers, and I'm pretty sure I managed to reload Windows. Now I need the drivers to install chipset, networking etc. (which I have a disc for)
The problem is I cannot see the screen in order to click "install", I can't see the BIOS or the boot sequence. Ugh! And even if I could, the drivers are not installed to use the CD ROM or VGA port.
I can HEAR Windows start up and turn on! Doo-DO-Doo-DO lol the darn thing is working!
The monitor works in my other laptop.
Would/Should the VGA monitor work if I could get it to start in safe mode?
I've heard of a program that can streamline the driver's into a Windows installation disc so everything is installed altogether but how can I reinstall Windows if the drivers aren't loaded for the CD ROM?
Is there a way to get the necessary drivers installed? or is this notebook now garbage?

Seriously?
1. The model number is the first thing at the top aside from the OS.
2. In my explanation it states: "I have the drivers on a disk"
Thanks for all your help!
Getting the drivers is not the problem. Getting the drivers installed on a laptop with a broken screen...is the problem.
Ok, well sometimes you can't use external monitor to see what is happening in some laptops and the only real way to fix this is to fix the broken screen so you can reformat and resinstall the system again. Those are you only options at this point in time.
