Getting AppStore Apps & iTunes Library from old (broken) MacBook Pro onto new MacBook Pro?

Hi, I just bought a new MacBook Pro, and my old MBP is broken (water was spilled on it)...How can I get all the apps that I purchased on my old laptop onto my new laptop? Can I download them from the App Store? Many were not synced with a mobile device...I would appreciate any help!

If you did an iCloud backup, it is possible for you to transfer your purchases.
If not, it depends on how damaged the Computer is.  How bad is the water damage>?

Everytime I try to play that song it directs my to locate the song and it gives me a drop down menu. How do I end the duplicate songs on my computer?

    As long as don't have any metadata attached to the broken files which you would like to preserve...
    You could use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to "check for dead tracks on startup"
    Or
    Robert Jacobson's script itunes_remove_notfound
    Or
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Ctrl-A to select them and Shift-Delete to remove them.
    You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.
    If there are ratings, play counts etc. attached to the broken links, but you've since reimported the files from another location then I have a script called FindTracks that could probably repair the broken links, and another called DeDuper that could dedupe and gather up the stats while preserving playlist membership etc.

    Hi there
    I would like to transfer my iTunes library from my PC to my MacBook Air or if possible to an external hard drive that I use to back up my Air.
    I understand that you can't use the same hard drive for PC and Mac.
    Would really like to do away with the PC and sync the iPod to the Air.
    Am about to purchase a new iPod nano as my Classic is broken.
    Would appreciate any feedback please!!

    You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:

    If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

  • Transfer iTunes library from a Dell PC to a new MacBook

    I just got a new MacBook about two months ago and I was wondering how I can transfer my entire iTunes library from my Dell to my MacBook.

    If you don't intend to use your Dell PC again, I'd recommend de-authorizing the machine. Your iTunes account can only be linked to 5 machine at any given time. You can de-authorize your computer by going into your account authorization screen and selecting "de-authorize this computer."
    Obviously, if you intend to still listen to purchased content from iTunes or obtain more then you won't want to de-authorize.
    As for the transferring of files... locate where all your music is located (probably My Music > iTunes > iTunes Music and select all the files/folders in that directory. You can then drag them to a CD, DVD, external drive to be copied/burned/transferred over to your other machine.
    Then go into iTunes and you can import that entire selection of files/folders you transferred over.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from an external drive to my new macbook air?

    I have an 8 year old MacBook Pro that has a small hard drive.  So 8 years ago I put all my songs (35GB) on an external drive.  I just bought a MacBook Air that has 256 GB of space and would like to transfer all my songs, movies, etc. to it and stop using the old hard drive.  Can anyone help me with how to do this?  Thanks.

    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide ~/Music/ as the folder's path, and drag the entire iTunes library, including the database files, to it.
    Alternatively, you can drag the entire library to any location on the internal drive, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, and choose it.
    If you only put the songs and not the database files on the external drive, drag it to the internal drive and from there to the library in the open iTunes application window.

  • HT4796 how to transfer itunes library from a crashed pc to a new macbook pro

    i bought a brand new macbook pro for school and the day after i ordered it, my old pc crahes. my entire itunes library was on that computer as well as some other things for my phone. I dont know how to switch all my music and what not from my old pc now that i cant turn it on anymore.

    Without having access to that hard drive, it's not possible to migrate the iTunes library.
    phone?  An iPhone ??
    If it's an iPhone, you can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPhone to the Mac using iTunes.
    You probably have to authorize the Mac before doing so.

    I just got a new iMac and am trying to transfer iTunes library from old PC (barely running) to new iMac.  I tried through Home Sharing but couldn't find how to sync.  Is it necessary to get Firewire?  Or should I sync it from my iPad?  I'd like to avoid the middleman.  Thanks!

  • Tried to use home sharing to transfer itunes library from old pc to new -- however it only brings over the music, did not bring audiobooks- My question is do I need to delete itunes from my new pc when I redo using external hard drive

    Trying to transfer iTunes library from old windows 7 pc to new windows 8.1.  Used home sharing, but not what I wanted, I want everything on the new so I can discard the old pc -  so now all I have is my music library on new pc thru the cloud none of my Audible audiobooks came over - My question is do I need to delete iTunes off my new pc before I load it in from a external hard drive?

    You might need to make sure neither is going to sleep (System Prefs > Energy Saver)
    Also check your settings under System Prefs > Security. My sisters new laptop kept logging off due to some setting there.

  • What is the best way to transfer my music library from my windows pc to my new macbook air?

    what is the best way to transfer my large iTunes library from my windows pc to my new macbook air?  Not all purchased, many from CDs I owned

    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • How do I get my iTunes library from my broken computer onto my new computer??? I allowed home sharing and also authorized the new computer but nothing showed up!

    How do I retrieve my iTunes library from a broken computer onto another computer?? I've clicked on home sharing and also authorized the new computer to my account but still nothing!

    It would help if you would describe what a 'broken' computer is. Did a truck run over it? Does it just not turn on? etc.

    Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
    To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
    Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
    I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    That will let you transfer your non purchased content
    For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
    In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
    Download any music by clicking on the cloud button

  • Need help transferring itunes library from old computer to new laptop

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a new laptop and am having trouble getting my library to transfer to my new laptop, i followed this step by step process http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US and in the end ended up with no music on my ipod and no music in the itunes library on my new computer...
    So then i went into Itunes on the new computer and clicked import library under File, so i found the Music folder that i had transferred over and it imported the music but all my playlist were not there, just songs. So i ended up syncing my ipod back to my old computer so i would get all the songs and playlist back on as it was originally before this whole process...
    My desktop runs XP while my new laptop runs Vista Ultimate w/ SP1 home edition, dont know if this matters...
    So not sure where i should go from here, i have already Authorized my laptop with the itunes store , i was thinking of uninstalling Itunes on my laptop and starting over from scratch, will this help?
    BTW when i did the original transfer i used my Ipod as the hard drive as it had plenty of storage room left on it, i do have access to a 250GB external HD i was thinking of using that and trying that to transfer the library...
    So if anyone can tell me how to transfer my Itunes library from old comp to new laptop it would be greatly appreciated...

    The method you used should work if followed exactly.
    The key points are - is your music all together? It must all be in the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder.
    When you copy the iTunes folder to the iPod you get the library database with your playlists and the iTunes Music folder containing the music files.
    Since you had trouble doing this with the iPod, why not try copying your iTunes folder to the external drive.
    The method is identical the one for the iPod except you leave out the iPod specific stuff.
    You install iTunes on the new PC, then you drag the newly created iTunes folder out the Music folder to the desktop, then you copy the iTunes folder from the EHD into Music, replacing the one you dragged out.
    When you have done that, you need to check that your account has full control of your iTunes folder - Vista is fussy about that - you will not be able to edit track info if you don't have full control.
    Vista file folder permissions help
