Following two changes to my computer it is only my iPod classic which has my full library of tunes on it - how can I transfer these back to the computer?

Hello, Ray. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple options available to you to transfer purchased media to your computer.  Below, I have included a couple articles that outline this process.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod to the iTunes library.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you still have access to your old computer, see the steps in the article below.

  • I lost my email in Mail once I upgraded to Maverick. I have them (hundreds of them) on my iPad. How do I transfer them back to the computer Mail program?

    I lost all my saved messages in my Mail folders when I switched to Maverick. They are saved on my iPad 3. How do I transfer them back to the computer without emailing each one separately?

    The Mail.app preference file (which stores all account information and general Mail.app preferences) is located at Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist.
    All Mail.app mailboxes and other data is stored in the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail.
    With the Mail.app quit on the new hard drive, place a copy of the Mail folder from the old hard drive at Home > Library on the new drive. If there is an existing Mail folder at Home > Library, this will replace it.
    Place a copy of the com.apple.mail.plist file from the old hard drive at Home > Library > Preferences on the new hard drive. If there is an existing com.apple.mail.plist file at Home > Library > Preferences on the new hard drive (and there should be one if you have launched the Mail.app on the new hard drive), this will replace it.
    Launch Mail on the new hard drive and the Mail.app should be completely restored or identical to the Mail.app on the old hard drive.

  • After I transfer photos to iPad how can I transfer them back to my computer.

    After I transfer photos to iPad how can I transfer them back to my computer.

    ... additionally, If the photos are in the Saved Photos album or were imported to the iPad from the CCK, you can import them onto your computer using:
    1) For mac, use iPhoto or Aperature
    2) For PC, use File Explorer or Camera Wizard.

  • Songs will play on my phone but not on computer so can i transfer them back to the computer?

    What im wondering is if i can transfer songs back to the computer. Random songs on itunes just randomly changed to being unable to locate on itunes. I have searched on the computer for them but cant seem to find them and some were downloaded off of itunes while some were transfered by disc. All the songs missing are scattered around all the devices in the family and i hope that we can get them off of the devices.

    Hi ScoutMaster4,
    Thanks for the question, and great job so far. When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. You may have already attempted to track down the lost content, but I wanted to provide you with this article just in case:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    If your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    And finally, you can transfer the purchases back to your computer by following these steps:

    Hey TBL64,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question. I found the following information that should help you out:
    ...to restore from an iCloud backup, erase your device (by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). When prompted to set up as new or to restore from previous backup, select Restore from iCloud Backup. Enter your AppleID and password when prompted.

  • I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop.  One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700.  How can I get these off of my computer?

    I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop.  One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700.  How can I get these off of my computer?

    From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

  • Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
    You'll find it here :
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    where ~ is your Home directory.
    If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
    It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
    A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
    TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".

  • I've just found the keyboard shortcut in Garageband for 'copy region' had changed from cmdC to ctrlC. I went to Preferences and clicked Restore Defaults for shortcuts. Now its altC . How can I get it back to the original commands.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • HT2731 How can I transfer photos from my Windows computer to my Ipad. I already have the photos transfered into a photo stream file. How to activate the transfer ?

    Hey Juergen119,
    I would recommend syncing your photos from your computer to your iPad by using iTunes:
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    First, if you want to set it up to work via iCloud, I would check and make sure My Photo Stream is set up correctly on your devices:
    To use My Photo Stream you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Apple TV Software Update 5.0 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    For complete iCloud setup instructions, visit How to set up iCloud.
    Then, once it is set up, you can upload your photos to My Photo Stream by following these directions:
    PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

  • Hello how can i transfer photo for my old computer to the new one

    hello how can i transfer photo for my old computer to the new one

    If your computers are connected to the same network, you can turn on Sharing to allow you to see the contents of one from the other and do transfers. If there is no network, you can use "target disk mode" explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13842
    Otherwise, you will need to use external storage such as a USB flash drive.

  • HT1386 I have a new computer with windows 8.1.  I want to add the 52 Gb of music now on my old ipod to itunes on the computer.  I don't want to wipe out the files on the ipod by syncing to the new computer which has no music files on it yet!  How can I do

    I have a new computer with windows 8.1.  I want to add the 52 Gb of music now on my old ipod to itunes on the computer.  I don't want to wipe out the files on the ipod by syncing to the new computer which has no music files on it yet!  How can I do this?

    Apparently I wasn't clear.  The music on my ipod is but a subset of all the music on my external hard drives.  I want to import only the songs and playlists from my existing ipod into the itunes library on my new computer, which currently has no music or playlists.  How can I do this?

  • I connected my ipad to my computer to sync my photos and it deleted all my apps, they synced back on to my ipad but all my Noteshelf apps items were deleted, how can I get these back?

    I connected my ipad to my computer to sync my photos and it deleted all my apps, they synced back on to my ipad but all my Noteshelf apps items were deleted, how can I get these back?

    What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
    The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
    You can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • I cut and pasted a description from the Internet. It posted as a link in iPhoto. It seems to have made a global change--all my descriptions are now blue, underlined, and Times Roman 12 rather than Arial white. How can I get this back to the default?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • My phone was stolen, I have moved it in lost mode,but I can see that whoever has it,is changing phone name and can use it until I activate lost mode again.Can I do it permanently? How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone,it blocks Cloud memory?

    My phone was stolen, I have moved it in lost mode,but I can see that whoever has it,is changing phone name and can use it until I activate lost mode again.Can I do it permanently? How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone, as I cannot delete the stolen phone backup (says that backup is being in use) and this is keeping memory occupied in the Cloud and I cannot back-up the other devices.

    Thanks,

    Thanks, but the link to the iPad user guide was not particularly helpful.
    It turns out that iTunes is not smart enough to let me download movies to multiple devices.  So, I had to transfer from my iPad to my library, and then transfer from there to my iPhone.  I would have expected iTunes to know that I had purchased it, and just let me download it again on my other device.
