Help! Laptop died/new laptop. How do I import my itunes?

My old laptop died. I did backup all my tunes to a memory stick and have most of my tunes on my ipod. How can I get my whole library onto the new laptop! Thanks

If you have your entire library (including library file) on your USB stick, you can just copy everything to the iTunes music folder and start iTunes, it should immediately recognise it.
If not, just import the folder and iTunes should copy the files to its folder. Note that this way you will lose ratings, last played, volume adjustments, etc.
Hope this helps.

My laptop has broken. How do I now access iTunes and will I lose all my apps?

My laptop is broken. How do I now access iTunes ? Will I lose all my apps and music? Any help needed , thanks in advance.

If your hard drive is busted, then yes. If your hard drive still works, then no. Unless every single media item in your collection is on your iPhone. But even then there is no official way to get into the system files. IIRC you can transfer the content on your iPhone to another computer (say if you got a new computer) when plugged in for the first time. Not too sure of this though.

How do I import my iTunes Library from my old Mac computer to my laptop?

How can I import m itunes library to a new computer

How can I import m itunes library to a new computer

Use Migration Assstant to move all content from an old computer to a new.
For iTunes alone:
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 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
Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
If you put it 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.)

Need help transferring itunes library from old laptop to new laptop

Can someone help me?? I have a new laptop and have installed itunes on it. How do I get my old library from my old laptop onto my new one? What about all my playlists?
Thank you in anticipation!
Lisa

There should be one iTunes Folder that contains many iTunes folders underneath it. Copy that one to a memory stick (if it will fit), not the location you copied it from. Copy it to the same place on the new computer. iTunes should find and recognize it if it was in the default location. You just need to start iTunes on the new computer.
Be sure on the old computer to start iTunes, go to the Store menu on top, and Deauthorise the old computer. On the new computer do the opposite, go to the Store menu and Authorise that computer. You will have to enter your Apple ID and password.

I need help choosing a new laptop computer

Hello
I currently have a lenovo 16in laptop and it craps out on me--I'm ready for a new comptuer.
I need it to be able to do research, write multiple documents and most importantly it needs to be portable and durable.
I am interested in the google chromebook but very hesistant.
Please help!!

Hey Taryn,
I understand you want a new laptop to do research, write documents, and browse the internet. Thank you for such great info to start out!! I have a couple questions.
Do you have any brands already in mind? What is your idea price range? And when you say portable, are you talking about a netbook or just a small laptop? I'm looking at laptops that Best Buy sells but answering these questions will really help me start to narrow it down for you!
Also, are you going to need your laptop for anything else other than the basic tasks you already listed??
Thanks!

HELP! Have new PC, how can i get iphone's music, apps ect onto new itunes??

Hi there,
Unfortunatly my laptop was stolen a week before christmas. My Iphone was synced to the laptop and I also used the Itunes' Store to purchase my music from the computer aswell as buying some from the phone itself.
I now have a new laptop and have just downloaded Itunes to it. I logged in to the Itunes store using my apple account fine. I then tried to sync my Iphone to the new laptop's Itunes but it said that 'music frm my Iphone would be replaced by my Itunes libary' (which is empty).
If i go to purchased underneeth the Itunes store it is empty. However if i got in to my Apple Account Information it had the full list of my past pursaches from my old laptop but shows no way of importing those songs and applications in to my Itunes Libary.
So really i just need to know how to sync my Iphone to my new laptop and keep the files i have already purchased which are on my Iphone at the moment.
Help would be great. Many thanks, Tom

You mean songs purchased with iTunes on your computer that was stolen which weren't transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process?
People get new PC's all the time.
Sure they do, and many people also maintain a backup for their important data stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only that includes their iTunes library - especially iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store. Apple includes a warning or alert message about maintaining a backup of your iTunes store purchases after making a purchase - maybe not after every purchase, but often enough.
What happened to your other important data stored on your laptop that was stolen? Was that data included with your backup or did you lose everything with the theft?
Just one of the many reasons why this is so important. Hard drives don't last forever and can have a partial or complete failure at any time - even the brand new hard drive with your new computer. I know some people who maintain two backups in case the media for one of their backups fail. Not likely that two would fail at the same time. I use iDisk for one of my backups, and I use an external flash drive for my other, which includes my entire iTunes library. Important regardless the platform but even more so with a Windows PC due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.
Apple may help you with this, but they aren't obligated to do so.
