I had iTunes on my pc. The Pc crashed and everything is gone. When I try to sync my phone to iTunes on my new mac laptop it says it will erase everything on the phone. How do I get the items on the phone into iTunes?

Hello,
I had my itunes on my pc. When it crashed I lost everything there. I have an itunes on the new mac but it does not have the content that was in the old itunes. When I try to sync or upgrade to the 5, it says that I will lose all my information on the phone.

I had the same problem, and tried what you did. Then just uninstalled Quick Time and didn't reinstall as someone on here advised. Still did not open. Then ejected a disc I forgot I had inserted this morning to copy a song on to and iItunes opened.

How do I get my itunes onto my new mac book from my old windows laptop?, how do I get my itunes onto my new mac book from my old windows laptop?

I just bought a new mac book pro and I was wondering if there was a way to transfer my itunes library to that computer with out re downloading all of my cds from my old HP laptop to the mac book.

See MacWorld - Move an iTunes library from a Windows PC to a Mac and iTunes- Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.

If i previously had my iTunes library set up on an external hard drive, how do I get my iTunes on my new mac pro to operate off of the same hard drive?

I recently bought a mac pro. I previously had a macbook that I had set up for iTunes to run off of an external hard drive. How do I set up my mac pro to run off of this hard drive? I have been trying to figure it out for the last hour and have had no luck.
I have tried to move my itunes folder on my mac pro to my external hard drive but am having no luck. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

If you had the entire library running from the external drive it should be a matter of holding down option as you start iTunes and browsing to the library on the external drive.
If you'd followed the advice to move the media folder only then ideally you need to recover the library folder from your Macbook with a view to making the library portable on the external drive.
Otherwise you're going to have to simply import the content into a new library, losing rating, playlists, play counts. etc.
If you have any devices that sync to your library see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

HT3819 how do i get my iTunes library from my old laptop to my new mac (my purchases have moved across but not my own music files)

How do I get my itunes library from my old laptop to my new imac? My purchases are showing on the new imac but not my own music files.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168

Can I transfer music from my ipod to my itunes app on a new mac laptop?

Can I transfer music from my ipod to my itunes app on a new mac laptop?

Yeah! Click on your iPod when it shows up under "Devices" on the left side of iTunes while plugged in. Click on the music tab at the top and select "Manually Manage songs and playlists". Then click the arrow next to you iPod on under "Devices" and it will drop down "Music" "Videos" etc under it. Go to "Music" and select all your songs and drag them to the iTunes "Music" tab. They should copy over. Then you can go back and enable autosync.

You should copy everything from your old comptuer to your new one.

I recently installed iTunes on my new HP laptop computer, authorized it according to the instructions, but now can't get past a screen that tells me that I need to authorize the computer. I purchased an album and it's in the library, but it won't sync.

How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?

How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?
I have tried to do this through home sharing but as I don't have the old laptop it wont let me.
Any HELP please?!?
Would be much appreciated.

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?

Getting iPhone to sync with new mac (from old PC) and add device to iTunes

I recently brought a macbook pro 8.1. I was able to transfer my itunes library using the imatch, however I have not been able to add my iphone into my itunes in able to sync. I still have to connect with my old PC in order to sync my music (that was imported by CD's). I have searched through the support options from apple support, but there's only information on how to add a NEW device to the itunes library. When I have tried sync'ing my phone with my new mac itunes, there's a message that pops up stating I cannot sync 1 device with 2 computer itunes libraries. What I'm getting at...is there anyway I can move my device from my old PC itunes to my new mac itunes before my PC dies?? HELP!

I believe we're having the same issue. I posted a question yesterday and I've gotten some helpful answers. I will stay posted to your thread as well to see if your issue is resolved. Sorry that I couldn't be of any help. :-)

How do I get my iPod classic 160GB to upload my music to iTunes in my new Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5?

How do I get my iPod classic 160GB to upload my music to iTunes in my new Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5?

That would be via home sharing.
Make sure it's enabled in iTunes (file - home sharing) and Apple TV (settings - computers)
You would then access on Apple TV using the computer icon. Your computer would need to be on and running itunes

What can I do simply to keep all my previous contents, (own pics, videos, etc.) on my previously authorized iPad on PC, but get a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with a new iTunes on my new Mac?

Friends,
I already had an iPad(1) and its full contents (not only the purchased items, applications from Apple, but my all own pics, videos, songs etc.) is normally syncronized with an authorized PC (Windows) computer.
Now, I've bought a new MacBook Air computer, and want to sell my PC. But I don't know how to transfer (or syncronize) all of the contents from my previous iTunes on PC to the new one on the Mac.
When I connected my iPad to my new MacBook Air, I promted, if I want to change authorization of my iPad to the MacBook.
But also got a warning, that the new iTunes will delete from my iPad all my previously syncronized items, pics, videos and music, with the previously authorized iTunes on the previous computer, expect the saved pics from the net.
What can I do just like that, simply to keep all my previous contents on my iPad, but have a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with the new iTunes on my new Mac?
Thanks a lot for your answer.

Here are some instructions that I have posted several times that may be helpful to you as they have been to others. You can simply ignore anything that does not apply or that you have already done.
As Alan stated above - transferring the iTunes library is the best first step. If you can transfer the iTunes library to the Mac, most of this will be unecessary for you to do.
Very Important ....
1. Authorize the computer.
2. Turn off auto sync in iTunes
3. Transfer purchases
The text in italics is from the other thread - non italics are my words.
The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your new computer, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your computer, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your computer. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

This support site will help you with transferring iTunes music to your new computer.

One final note - you may want to leave auto sync turned off - but that is totally up to you. I never did use auto sync.
