Does anyone know how transfer entire library onto new computer
can anyone tell me how to transfer the entire music library from my ipod onto a new computer inluding the playlists? Windows Vista home pro
Easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder (NOT the iTunes Music folder, the one above that) from your old computer to the new computer.
Yamipod (3rd party software, free) will copy your music from yoru iPod to your computer but not playlists.
I believe TransCopy will transfer music and playlists but it is not free.

Does anyone know how to download Siri onto iPhone 4 I have right op system and don't have iPhone 4s
The Huntress,
I am aware of the Terms of Use of this forum.
On the contrary I suggested NOT to go on that route.
Didn't provide support didn't discuss, just mentioned.
Also mentioned the risk of losing warranty, performance and battery life.
Our friend Vince will probably find a solution like the one I mentioned and that's the reason I mentioned that there is availabl, BUT NOT recommended.
I am not an native english speaker, but I think it is quite obvious that the post is against jailbreaking.
Cheers. -

How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)? I just bought an ipod 5th gen and when I plugged it in, it only synced purchases.
You restore the media to your new computer using the backup you made of your old computer before it died. You did backup your computer, right?

Trying to transfer ipod library onto new computer without losing songs
I just purchased a new computer and can't seem figure out how to transfer my ipods music into it. I don't want to lose all of my library but when I plug it into my new computer it says you can't have two libraries synced. Any ideas?
Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows

There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay. -
Importing entire library onto new computer
I just took the plunge: purchased Aperture, new MBP C2D with 3 gigs of ram.
My situation is as such: I am currently using a PB (until the good stuff arrives) with Aperture. I was using iPhoto and playing with Lightroom. I gave them both up and am now singularly using Aperture. I imported my original photo library from iPhoto into Aperture. I then used the Vault to back up the import. I was told that there are photos that needed to be backed up manually. Not sure what was meant by this, but now I have the Aperture library on my PB and a backup on an external drive. The library on the PB is larger than the one on the external drive. Second the Vault is also on the external drive. When I look at the Aperture lib on my PB it is over 6 gigs while the Vault is only 170 mb. I am a bit confused. Does the Vault in some way compress the data or is it storing something else, and will I have to re-import and arrange all of my projects again once I import the library on my computer.
Thanks in advance and I hope I was not too confusing.My guess is that the key question is: did you import the images as Referenced or as Managed?
If they're referenced, then as I understand it, you would have to back all of them up manually. Also, this would make the library much smaller, since it would not have the master images in it, but only bookkeeping stuff and (as time goes on) your edits, metadata, etc.
If theyre managed, then the situaiton seems pretty puzzling.
The disparity between the library and the vault makes it sound as though you have managed images in the library, and that yes, something is not quite as it appears. I find that a 14GB Library, with managed images, produces a Vault of about 13GB, so there's very little compression.
Sorry, that's as far as my knowledge takes me. -

Hello, I imported song from a CD onto my Macbook Pro and now I would like to transfer the songs onto my IPhone 5. I can't figure out how to do that, does anyone know how I would be able to do this?

How do you get songs into a Smart Playlist...? Also, when I select the music tab on top, there is no iphone button or anything that says sync to iPhone. That's where I get confused
When you set up a Smart Playlist, it automatically populates the list with songs. You don't have to do anything. Now, you may not have set it up properly, meaning your set up fails to recognize any songs.
If you just want to put music in a Playlist, just create one, give it a name. Then drag the music from the "music" list to the playlist. It copies the information there. And when you sync the Playlist to your iPhone, all the music goes.
It's truly easy, but there is a bit of a learning curve until you're good at it. Keep asking questions here, everyone will help you. But do read the Apple documents, they lay out pretty straightforward. -

I had my itunes account on my laptop which has since crashed. I had to buy a new computer and iinstall the new version of itunes. It did not pull up any of my information with music library, etc. Does anyone know how to transfer existing music from my itunes account for my ipod to my iphone?
thanksSome of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

I just got a new computer and need to move my itunes library from my old computer to the new computer. Does anyone know how to do this or where I can get the information? Thanks!
If you Google ipod nano 6th generation manual, you can download the PDF manual. Here's a quote from page 19:
Transfer purchased content to another computer:
1 Open iTunes on the other computer and choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
2 Connect iPod nano to the newly authorized computer.
3 In iTunes, choose File > Transfer Purchases from iPod.
Songs that are not from the iTunes store can be copied to the new computer, and you just have to do File>Add to Library to get them into iTunes. And if you don't plan to continue using your old computer, you should deauthorize it because you only get 5 authorizations for iTunes store purchases, and this will cancel out the authorization on the old computer. -

It is not possible to transfer credit from one account to another.
However, if you redeem a gift card and have not yet spent any of it, you can request to have the amount put back onto the card. Contact iTunes Customer Service here:

I managed to transfer the music from 1 pc to 1 other pc (it is played perfectly on the other PC (Windows 7- pc) by the newly downloaded and installed iTunes, version 10.6.1.7). But I didn’t fix the transfer of the meta data (for example the rating). Does anyone know how to use (or import) your old playlists, etc..(= meta data) on the other PC? So, short: how to migrate the meta data from one pc to an other pc?
It's a pity that it seems not to be possible to import on the new pc e.g. the ratings!!!
I don't want to start again with rating my (beautiful classical) music!
Thanks, from Amsterdam, NLDid you do the move via Home Sharing, astro?
If so, perhaps try the instructions from the following post:
