Can't get my music to transfer to my new computer

I just got a new computer.  I am trying to transfer my music and iphone contents to my new computer.  When I plugged my phone in for the first time I was not given the option to transfer the contents of my iphone to my computer. I clicked backup and all my music is on the comoputer now but it won't sync the phone.  I need help figuring out how to get it so I can sync my phone and transfer stuff.  I have also already authorized this computer.

I hope you get an answer on this. I am having similar problems. I have lots of music on my Nano and now have a new laptop. How do you move those songs into your new laptop from the Nano.

  • How can I get my music on iTunes on my new computer?

    I just got a new computer because my old one totally died. All I want to do is get my iTunes on my new computer to have all my music on it, just like it was on my previous computer. I have an first generation iPod Touch, 16GB.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How can i get my music from iphone onto a new pc

    how can i get my music from iphone onto a new pc . i have A NEW IPAD I WANT TO TRANSFER THE MUSIC ONTO

    When connected to your computer's iTunes you can use File > Transfer Purchases to copy over any music (and other content) that you've bought from Apple. For music that you've copied from your own CDs or bought from other download sites then is it not already on your computer and/or on a backup that you can copy onto your computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off the phone.
    And there is no need to SHOUT.

  • My old computer had itunes and downloaded songs that I put on my ipod. My old computer got replaced years ago without saving hard drive info or passwords and my iPod burnt out and will not activate. How can I get access to my old songs on new computer.

    My old computer had itunes and downloaded songs that I put on my ipod. Well, my old computer got replaced years ago without saving hard drive info or passwords and my iPod burnt out years ago and will not activate. I now have a new computer and iPod and I have an iTunes account on my iPhone5. How can I get access to my old songs on new computer? Are they lost for good? I have no info about my old computer and old account.

  • Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

    Hi I have just upgraded my computer to Mac OSX 10.6.7 now I cant open my FCE 4. Message reads, Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

    Thanks, just so I know we are talking about the same items please let me know - When you say "run Prokit" do you mean downloaded? Which I did. I dont have Prokit 4.0.1 if you are referring to that, do I need this first? Please explain what application name I am looking for if other than Prokit which is sitting in my "download folder" do I need to manually put it into the apps folder? Sorry if the questions are layman but this area is not a very strong point for me. Thanks for your help so far.

  • I can't get the music I bought while on my computer to transfer to my iPod touch. I synced it but nothing happened. The computer says my Ipod has all the music but the iPod says differently.

    I can't get the music from my computer to my iPod touch. I put it in sync mode and the computer says it did the job and transferred the music correctly but the iPod says it doesn't have the music transferred.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • HT4527 If i restored my iphone and lost all my music, how can I get my music back when im on another computer? My last computer broke, and this is a family members..Can I just sign in and find my music? Or how do I do it when this is someone elses laptop?

    I need help, I couldnt get into my iphone because I forgot the password and I couldnt hook my iphone up to the computer with all my music on it. So im wondering how to redownload that music from another computer that had already had someone elses account programed into it. I can almost get my purchased music but it says im not authorized. I DONT KNOW WHAT to do

    If your music was purcansed from the iTunes Store and your country allow is you can redownload it
    Login to itunes as yourself on this computer then
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    You will also need to authorise that computer so you can play the content.
    Ctrl B to turn on the top menu
    Store > Authorise this Computer...
    Type in your Apple ID and password and authorise.

  • How do i get my music from ipod to a new computer

    I want to get all my music from my ipod onto my new computer, how do i go about doing this? I have downloaded itunes onto the new computer, switched on home sharing.  I dont understand how to go about it?  grateful for any help
    thanks

    Make sure that autosync is disabled in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, set up your account, connect your iPod and right click on it in the device list. Choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought music from iTunes to your new iTunes library.
    If you want to use this computer to sync your device, right lick again in the device list and choose "backup"
    This will perform a manual backup without the sync process. Set up at least one contact and event on your computer, to be able to merge data after your device got erased during the first sync.
    Use the manual backup to restore your data and settings again.
    Other music can only be copied if you use 3rd party software, see this thread for examples: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • I just got a new computer and my iPOD will not sync to it because of the old computer. How can I get my library to sync on the new computer????

    I originally synced my iPOD to my PC in April 2011.  I purchased a new computer but my iPOD will not sync to it because it is synced to the old PC.  I do not want to erase my iPOD to sync with the new PC because I have loaded alot of music from CD's to it.  HELP!

    See this article how to transfer your data? How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

    As mentioned by vazandrew, music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Can I get my Contacts & Calendar info onto a new Computer?

    I just posted something in Kantyka recent posting titled "transfer files from ipod touch to new computer?" as my problem is along similar lines. Yet I thought I should start a new thread to ensure a better chance of getting a response to my questions. So here it goes ...
    I just recently purchased my iPod Touch and now my small business PC had crashed. I had my MP3s backed up mostly, but I lost everything in MS Outlook, my Inbox and email folders, including Calendar & Contacts. I have a new PC now and I am thankful that I have the iPod Touch with my Calendar & Contacts information at least. I have decided that I am no longer going to use Outlook. I don't want to risk losing everything again, so I am switching to Gmail and Google Calendar.
    But now I am worried about what will happen if I plug my iPod in again and no longer have Outlook etc.. Plus I am plugging it in to a new computer that the iPod has never been connected to or installed on. If I plug it in will my Calendar & Contacts stay intact? Will it reformat? Can I upload the Contacts &/or Calendar from the iPod into Gmail Contacts & Google Calendar? I don't want to loose everything ... I will definitely turn the sync feature off, as suggested in the other post until I get something figured out, but is there a way I can back up the Calendar & Contacts already in the iPod before I attempt to try anything new with Gmail etc.? Any help is appreciated ... I'm not sure what my next steps should be ...
    Thanks,
    Andrea

    So I spent a long time reading through the forums and the iPod Manual etc. and here is what I decided to do ...
    I installed iTunes & Outlook 2003 on my new system (Vista Ultimate, my old system was XP) and decided to try and just sync it up and guess what? It worked! I was just so worried that switching from XP to Vista would screw it up and I didn't want to lose any more than I already had.
    I don't want to continue using Outlook, but I decided to just install the old version just to see if I could get my contacts and calendars back. It worked! Now I plan to export both and upload them to Gmail and Google and only use them going forward. The only real issue for someone else doing this is to make sure that you choose to Merge when plugging in your iPod to the new computer. Otherwise it Replaces everything instead of uploading/syncing. Also keep in mind this is just for Contacts and Calendar, not MP3s ...

  • My old computer has died, how can i get all my tunes on to my new computer and ipod?

    My old computer died and i can't get access to itunes on it. how can i get itunes on my new computer without wiping my ipod and having to start again from scratch?

    If the computer isn't functioning because of a operating system issue, but the computer itself still works, then it's possible to boot from a operating system on a cd or USB stick and transfer the files.
    If the boot drive physically works (and it hasn't been encrypted), the files can be removed if the computer doesn't work as well. (more on that later as it costs more money)
    For the first option your going to need to create a bootable USB or CD. I'm going to go with the easiest, a 2-4 GB USB thumb drive (nothing else on it of course)
    Visit this page and download the Easy USB Installer for Windows.
    http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
    Now from the first menu there you select Ubuntu 10.10 and check the box to download the ISO of Ubuntu Linux. Wait for it to finish.
    Now #2 browse to the ISO you just downloaded.
    Now #3 you select the EXACT drive letter of the USB (look under My Computer/Computer)
    Leave "show all drives" and "persistence" alone. Check "format drive" (be sure the drive letter is correct!)
    Click "Create"
    Once you got that done, stick the USB in the back of the computer (if a tower) and hook up a external USB hard drive. (nothing else on it.)
    Now you need to find the BIO's boot key for your problem computer, DELL it's F2 to enter the BIO's (list at link)
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
    Navigate around in there and set the USB as the first boot option (or cd if you got a boot cd). Save the option.
    Reboot the computer and it should boot off the USB. "Try Ubuntu/run from USB/CD"  Don't install.
    Once your in Ubuntu, you can easily go to the Places Menu and Select Computer, see all the drives and access your ENTIRE iTunes folder. Transfer this entire folder to the external USB drive.
    Also you can grab your pictures and anyrthing else while your in there.
    Now the second option is potentially destructive, if the computer doesn't work at all mechanically. Disconnect any power from the computer. Then you can remove the internal hard drive, use a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter and plug it right into your new computer just like a external drive. However I would do a malware scan first.
    Lastly if you got your iTunes Folder onto the new computer (replacing the new iTunes folder with the old). You need to open the XML file in a Text program that has "Find and Replace" ability. So you can correctly fix the partial pathnames from the old computer to the new computer.
    This little step preserves all your playlists.
    Once you got your content over, you should File > Backup Library to disk and feed it DVD-R's or use a external drive.
    As you know, the iPod only sync's content one way, to the iPod.  (exception for iTMS bought stuff on the iPod can be synced back into iTunes with the correct account enabled.)  You might need to check iLounge for current third party software that reverses all content form a iPod back into iTunes.
    Finally if this is all above your head, have a professional do it for you. Apple will not re-issue downloads, backing up is your responsibility.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT1349 my computer crashed how do i get my music on itunes on my new computer

    how do i get itunes an my music on my new computer

    Use the backup of the computer to put all your media and other important data on the new computer.
    If for some ridiculous reason you have failed to maintain a backup, some content can be redownloaded from the iTunes down.
