Got a new computer and don't know what to do

I got a new computer and really need some help.  I plugged my iphone into the computer and tried to sync it.  It says that I have songs on my iphone that are not in my itunes library and I will lose them if I sync my phone.  How do I transfer the songs on my iphone into itunes?

You should move your iTunes library and media over to your new PC.

  • I got a new computer and don't know how to get music from ipod touch to itunes library

    I recently got a new computer and don't know how to get music from my ipod touch to show on my itunes library. 

    You need to transfer the iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one.

  • Adobe XI not on new computer and don't know how to transfer it

    I downloaded adobe XI on my old computer, which crashed and now I can't get it to work on my new computer. I transferred all the files.
    Thanks for your help

    Transferring does not usually work.  You need to install using installation files.  Since you have not indicated what program you mean when you say "Adobe XI" I can only provide a general link for downloads....

    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.

    I have just got a new computer and I want to transfer Adobe Acrobat to my new one can this be done ?

    Hi Ianpce,
    You need to download and install Adobe Acrobat on the new machine to use it.
    You can use the same subscription or the serial number to activate the product.
    Thanks

  • HT1473 I just got a new computer and loaded Itunes. All my music is on my new Apple Ipod but I do not know how to sync it from the Ipad TO ITUNES so I can put all my playlists back on the computer for home sharing. Can anyone help with the answer? Thanks!

    How do you Sync Playlists (Music) from my ipod Nano TO ITUNES? I know how to sync it the other way, from the computer (Itunes) to the ipad, but I just got a new computer and all the music is only on my Ipod Nano. Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks! Pete B

  • My computer crashed and I lost everything on it. Got a new computer and when I plug my Iphone in it says I this phone is already with another itunes library erase and replace.. I don't want to lose everything on my phone cuz there is nothing in my itunes

    My Computer crashed and I lost everything on it. Just got a new computer and when I plug my iphone into it to sync it says Ii can't because its already synced with another itunes I've logged into my itunes acc.) It says I must earse and replace with new itunes I don't want to lose everything on my phone by doing this is there anything else i ca do

    That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

    Hi David ,
    If it is a retail version ,then you need to deactivate it and uninstall it as well from your old computer and then you can install it back on the new computer.
    If it a subscription based software ,then you just need to deactivate it and you can operate the same on your new computer by entering in your credentials .
    For more information ,you can refer to this link.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
    Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.

  • Just got a new computer, and I want my songs off my iPod and onto my iTunes

    So, I just got my new computer, and I have about 400 songs on my new iTunes. However, on my iPod, I have around 3,000. Some of the songs, however, I no longer have the cds for. I really don't feel like buying or tracking down ALL of those songs again. Is there a way I can get the songs off my iPod and onto my new iTunes? And no, I'm not trying to give all these songs to my friends or anything, I'm just trying to keep them all! If I could get an answer soon, that would be great!!!!
    Thanks!

    Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a 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. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. 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: 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.
    The transfer of content 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 read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    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: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    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.

  • I have been purchasing songs on itunes for a year. I just got a new computer and I synched my iphone to it. I had over 100 songs, now I have only 10. Where did my music go and how can I get it back?

    I have been purchasing songs from itunes for the past year. I have over 100 songs. I recently got a new computer and I synched the iphone to it. I can't find 90% of my music. Where is it and how can I get it back? I checked itunes under purchased and it only shows 13 songs. Please help.

    You can only sync with one computer. When you synced to the new computer it would have erased it and synced what was on the new computer.
    You always need to have a backup, an iPhone is not a storage device.
    When you get a new computer you need to transfer your library before syncing
    If you don't have a backup you may be out of luck
    The only thing would be if you're in the US and have access to the iCloud beta to reload purchases
