Help in Transferring songs to a new computer...

Hi! Can anyone help me? I'm having problems in transferring my songs to a new computer. I used to have a PC but it needed a reformat so all the songs were erased. I wasn't able to copy the iTunes Folder to my iPod, but are the songs in my iPod enough? I would like to transfer them to my Mac.

I am sorry, but can you please be a little bit more clear with what you are asking? I don't exactly understand your post.
So are the songs on our iPod or are they not? Is your iPod formatted for PC or Windows?
Post back with more details!

  • Need help with transferring DW files to new computer

    I purchased a second computer - installed DW on new computer
    and connected to server - but am having a problem getting the site
    files installed correctely.
    On comp#1, in the sidebar I can switch between local and
    remote -- and there are arrows to upload or download files. On new
    computer I don't see that. New computer has Vista, would that
    change the look of the DW program?

    > installed DW on new computer and connected to
    > server - but am having a problem getting the site files
    installed correctely.
    go to old computer.
    open dw.
    dw menu-->site-->Manage Sites
    select a site (in cs3, you can shift-click to select entire
    list)
    and press the export button.
    repeat for all sites.
    then move the .ste files AND all the "local site folders"
    that contain the
    site assets to the other computer.
    double-click the .ste file, or use dw
    menu->site->import
    you will have to double-check these three places in each site
    definition:
    Local info:
    Local site folder path
    default image folder path
    Site:
    location of this site's "homepage"
    -->IF anything on the path to the local files is different
    on this computer.
    Such as having a different Username.

  • Transferring songs to a new computer?

    Alright so here's how this goes,
    I have a bunch of songs and videos that I originally had on my Windows PC.
    But knowing the reliability of PC's and how old it was (I got it in 2003) the entire system crashed. EVERYTHING went down. So I bought a new MacBook.
    So how do I go about getting the songs on my iPod touch onto my new Mac?

    *So how do I go about getting the songs on my iPod touch onto my new Mac?*
    The transfer of content from 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 music files and playlists from an iPod. There are a few that are advertised as iPod Touch compatible, here are some you can begin your research with:
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy 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
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive as mentioned previously 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.

  • New computer...help with transfering songs!

    I recently got a new computer, and before I realized how to transfer the music from one computer to the new one, my dad completely erased the old one. Now I have a new computer with no songs and an iPod with all my songs, and I just realized that in order to transfer the songs, i had to do something about the iTunes folder, or something like that. It's too late to do that, but is there any other way I can transer the songs to my new computer?
    Thanks for any help!

    It would have been best to de-authorize your old computer prior to moving your iTunes library as seen HERE
    However, their are programs available that will allow you to transfer your music FROM your iPod to your new computer and can be found at sights such as www.versiontracker.com. (Keyword iPod or iTunes)
    You may, however, experience a problem playing all of your music (assuming all of your music is purchased due to DRM.

    Hi emile,
    It is not entirely clear when the transfer process from your computer to your iPod classic fails, but if the iPod is not being recognized by your computer this article may help -
    iPod not appearing in iTunes
    You may also want to try resetting your iPod -

  • I have transferred my itunes library to an external drive. I then attached the external disk to a new computer. I can now access all songs from the new computer. But I can't access playlists. I can still  access all songs and playlists on the old computer

    If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
    Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.
    You can request a new password here http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

  • Transfering all my song to my new computer

    I have recently changed from PC to Mac and I'm want to tranfer all my songs to my new computer. I'm trying not to lose any songs,
    30% of my songs were purchased on my Iphone (I know I can't transfer them through Itunes)
    40% of my songs are from my CD collection that I had tranfered onto my PC way back when
    10% purchased from Amazon years ago
    20% of my songs are from various other "non-official" sites such as youtube and the such
    If I copy all my PC & non-official songs onto an external hard drive and then transfer them onto my New Mac, then add them to my new mac's Library, then sync my Iphone with the same Itunes account I used on my PC, will I lose all my itunes purchaced songs?
    Itunes is asking me if I want to sync my Iphone to my new Computer, but I want to make sure I don't lose the songs I paid for.
    Of if you have a better why for my to mergy my music, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance,

    As for transferring purchases from the phone, you can: 
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    To make sure your library transfers intact:
    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 iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If 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.)
    Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
    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.
    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
    2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/  - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not  really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library").  Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

  • HT1688 all i want to do is add songs from my new computer to my iphone 4s. But that doesnot seem to be working.. Itunes wnats me to sync and lose all my music on my iphone. This is very frustrating i dont want to lose over 700 songs!!!!

    Itunes is not letting me add songs from my new computer to my iphone.
    Instead it wants me to sync my music library and lose all the songs on my phone. i have over 700 songs i cannot lose them just because i want to add 10 new songs... PLEASE HELP. also i am using the new CONFUSSING ITUNES 11. 

    This has always been the case.
    All iphones have always only synced to one computer at a time.
    Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

  • HT1386 My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    Yes by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    However, you can make this computer the syncing computer by:
    - Transering iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - For synced photos you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. The do music too.
    - After everything is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backupo by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps, music, synced photos.

  • I have an older Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer these songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available

    I have an oder Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer ths songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available?

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • Transferring Elements to a new computer

    I downloaded Photoshop Elements a couple years ago and just bought a new Mac. Can I transfer Elements and Bridge to my new Mac? I put the files on a drive and transferred it to my new computer, but they aren't working right. Any suggestions?

    What is the version of Elements you are trying to install. And also program cannot be migrated from one computer to another, you have to install it to make it work.

  • I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC transfer program. CS5 started up on the new computer OK, but now does not recognize raw files. Should I uninstall and reinstall again?

    I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC mover ultimate. CS5 appeared to start up normally, I had to insert the serial number from my original CD. However, now the program does not recognize CR files and Adobe bridge is not working properly.  I get messages that CS5 needs to be updated, but the updates fail. What should I do? Should I uninstall CS5 on the new computer, uninstall CS5 on the old computer using the original CD, and then reinstall CS5 using the CD on the new computer?

    Transferring programs does not work well with Adobe applications.  You should install them.
    As far as having the program on different machines goes, you are allowed to have two activated installations so if it is working on the original machine there is no reason to remove it unless you need the space.
