Cant get some music on my new computer

With my old computer having lots of problems I splashed out on an brand new one. PC World transfered my data including itunes onto the new one.
I plugged in my ipad and set the music to load (just as the old computer) just the music on the playlist "Vic's Music", as my wife has music for he ipod touch on a seperate list.
Strangely however it has put on my ipad all the purchased through itunes music, but the music loaded via CD uploads is not there.
Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong.
Mny thanks,
Stattovic

First, take a look in I tunes, and make surenthey really moved it over.   Try to play a couple of songs, not just see the listing.    Some times when I have moved library's, I tunes loses track of where they songs actually are.
You may need to add the library's back into I tunes, and you may end up with double listings of songs, but only one of them works!    A real p.i.a..    I needed to go through the whole library manually deleting the dup listings.
Anyway, once you are sure they are in the I tunes library, you may need to redo your play lists.   As respects the pad, go through the tabs as you set up your sync, and repoint to the music you want. Relying on the old playlist is probably what is causing the issue.

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

Getting my music onto my new computer

Very, very, very frustrated!!! I've been trying for a week to get my music that is on my laptop, which is Windows Vista operating system, onto my new laptop, which is a HP, Windows 8.1 operating system. I have signed up for sharing the home devices, but that has been to no avail. I printed out directions to copy everything to an external hard drive but it tells me to go to the Library and "consolidate files" but that is not an option in the Library. Ready to send itunes for a permanent walk and start all over, downloading all my music again. Any suggestions that really work are welcome. Please don't respond if it's a wile goose chase.

Maybe you already searched previous discussions and found a post on what you need to do - this gets asked daily.

HT204053 I tried to download some music to my new computer, when I tried, it said that the apple id was used before on 5 other computers. The computers it was used don't work any more. What do I do ? I don't want to lose all the music I purchased.

I want to know how to remove other computers from i tunes that are no longer working.

Hello DJSmithLaner,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have authorized five computers, but you no longer have access to all five computers.
You can deauthorize all the computers associated with your Apple ID and then authorize the computers you still use.
Use these steps to deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID:
Deauthorize all computers
After you authorize two computers, you'll have the option to deauthorize all computers for your Apple ID. You can deauthorize all computers once a year. You should deauthorize all your computers in these cases:
If a computer doesn't work anymore
If you don't have one of your computers
If you used 5 authorizations and want to authorize a new computer
To deauthorize all your computers, follow these steps:
Click to open your account in iTunes (you may need to sign in with your Apple ID), or follow these steps:
Open iTunes and click iTunes Store.
Click Sign In and enter your Apple ID.
Click your Apple ID and select Account.
Click Deauthorize All.
The Deauthorize All button appears only if you have more than two authorized computers.
Once you have deauthorized all the computers, use these steps to authorize the computers you have access to:
To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to 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.
You can find those steps and more information at the following link:

Hello Sandy
You can transfer the purchases from your iPhone to your new computer by following the steps in following article.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

If you have music that was not purchased from the iTunes Store, then you will not be able to move it from the iPhone to your computer. Instead you will need to follow the steps in this article that helps with moving the library from the old to the new.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Pis your content purchased, do you have a back up.

I can see my account on itunes but cant get the music that is in my music lib. how do i get it on my new device?

What do you mean 'cant get the music that is in my music lib' ?
If you mean that it's on your computer's iTunes library then connect your device to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync your music to the device.
If it's an iOS device, then depending upon what country that you are in then you might also be able to redownload some/all of your past iTunes music purchases via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it

I have signed into a new account on my itunes on my computer. How do I get the music from the new account to be displayed in my library, because I can only see the old accounts music.

I have signed into a new account on my itunes on my windows computer. How do I get the music from the new account to be displayed in my library if only the old account's music is showing up?

You can transfer the music purchased from iTunes Store to the computer but not music acquired somewhere else.
Syncing is one way street, computer to iPhone. You have to use 3rd party tool to transfer music not from iTunes Store to the computer.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing!

My old computer crashed, so I bought a new computer. How can I get my IPOD music in the new computer

my old computer crashed. I bought a new one. I installed Itunes, with a new account. I cannot get my music from my ipod touch to the new computer. It is all music I had downloaded from cd's I have purchased through the years. Every time I try to authorize the new computer, it wants a credit card number for the ITunes store. I don't want to buy more music now, I just want to be able to get my songs in my new computer. This is driving me crazy. any help, since the phone support is not available when I am. Thanks.

The music sync is one wa - copmputer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer. Use your backup to put everything back

I had iTunes on my old computer and I am trying to get all of the same music on my new computer. I have download iTunes and signed in, but it is not showing up in my library. How do I get all of my old music back?

It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I switched my music to a new computer and all the music doubled how can I get rid of 4500 duplicates

I switched my music to a new computer and all the music doubled how can I get rid of 4500 duplicates songs? Will Music Match get rid of the extras for me?

The iPod is not a storage device, all songs should reside on a computer and you can only sync to one machine. However, if these songs were purchased from iTunes you can reload them (see link). If not, and you have no backup, then they are gone.

Getting Already Purchased Music on a new computer?

So my ipod was stolen and the computer that had my music is no longer working is there any way to get my Purchased music on my new computer or am i gonna have to rebuy it all. I have tried the Check for available Downloads option and it says everything has been downloaded but there is nothing in my folder can anyone offer any more help...

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support
