Help! New Computer
I am somewhat new to IPod & have a problem with my new computer.
I haev recently bought a new PC as my old one died quite spectacularly without a back up of teh ITunes Library. I want to transfer the IPod songs to the new Vista computer, but I have no idea how to do this.
Someone suggested music rescue, but we are having trouble with that. Surely ITunes has a recovery system in place somewhere
Can anyone help me as I do not relish the thought of transferring all my stuff onto the IPod once again!
thank you to anyone with info!!!
*Surely ITunes has a recovery system in place somewhere*
Yes, but you chose not to use it (for some reason).

I want to import my library to my new laptop. Using home sharing, all albums are shown but the "import" box at the bottom of the screen is not pronounced that I can click on it.Are there any suggestions?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Did you select any content before you tried using the import option. -
help. am not a tech savvy person.
i do art with a win vista computer filledwith photoshop cs3 and tons uf unbelievable plugins that were given to me by a now deceased ps wizard.
that computer died. i now have a new computer, but it is of no value to me without the same art setup that i backed up into an ext hard drive.
i have wetechies @ 300 usd/year trying to remotely do that. day 2, so far no success.
i cannot afford to buy all that. i have cancer also, and with 6 months to live, friends have generously bout me a great computer for my art needs.
but i need more than a computer. and i need more than photoshop. i need the programs n things in my plugins .
does anyone know how to do that?
my wetechies from india are on day two, and ony have given me a 1.16 kb pd icon! then asked me if that was fine.
i said to them it is fine if it works! which it did not.
tody is day 2, person 2 attempting this.
is this an impossible feat?
they are not familiar with plugins, but they do comp tech stuff.
my cs3 extended and the plastic case bearing the serial #, bought for 900 usd, were stolen the night i was in the hospital having my mastectomy.
i had the ps3 inside the plastic case in my living room drawer. when i came home, there was a psc ( not extended ) in one of the 2 computer drawers.
i am not sure why. but in the second drawer was my chest xray from the hospital???? i suppose ,since i never looked at it myself, it may have had my personal info needed for the thief to pose as me. also, my purse, with passport,all forms of id and my keys, were stolen on another day . but i have bad credit, so good luck to them.
i want to spend my remaining time doing art. I even entered an art competition for charity. sponsored by Lilly oncology.
i know of no one who did art in my building at the time which was in florida, where i was having my chemo and radiion, and first surgery.
that computer, was broken, by someone trying to fix it. perhaps the only person i know who wopuld have an interest in the plugins as he was a photog and was familiar with the photog and ps wizard who supplied me my art stuff.
wheredo i go from here, inexpensively, i was gifted the computer of my choice. it is awesome for art. but i wanta photoshop in it, which i do not use for much, but i do use the plugins.
question- is it true that my new 64 bit computer with win7 is compatible with cs3 and higher? as well as plugins tha are 32bit not 64 bit?@Whether your music purchases will be in the cloud will depend upon what country that you are in, and whether it is still in the store (record companies occasionally remove their music) - you can't add music to the cloud without subscribing to iTunes Match.
You should be able to copy your library over from your existing computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 -
I have an Ipod Touch 4G. My computer broke. I now have a new computer . I have NO access to old computer. The itunes on my new computer recognises by Ipod but not the music content already on my ipod. This means it does not show the content in the library on itunes any more. The content on my ipod is not purchased from itunes store. Can i get it to show up in the `new` library? Is this also preventing me from downloading new items into my ipod - as i can download new discs into the library, but they will not load into the ipod. Your help would be appreciated - cant bear another sleepless night. Thank you
I dont know how helpful this will be but here we go:
try syncing your ipod again
do you still have these cds? try reburning them to you library
restart itunes
restart the computer
hardware reset ipod touch
Heres how to do this
Hold down power and home button at the same time until the screen goes black, ignore the slide to power off arrow
Idevice will now restart on its own, this might take longer then when waking it from shut down
6. now try step 1 again
note: try any of these ideas they are not a set order of instructions -
Can any one help me with getting my books back into my library after I purchased my new computer. Thanks
Copy them from your old computer, or your backuo copy of your old computer. to your new one.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. the exception is itunes purchases. -
Can't transfer music to new computer, please help
My old computer crashed so I can't connect it to my new one to transfer my songs. I plugged my ipod into the new comp before downloading itunes and I save my playlists onto it in My Music. Then I downloaded itunes and tried to transfer my music into my library. It says theres an error and the songs can't transfer. Also, the ipod's songs pop up when I click on the ipod but they're gray and I can't highlight, move, play, or acceses them in anyway. I reeaallly don't want to download my 800+ songs all over again so any tips will be appreciated!
I'm new to this Discussions Forum but I've notice so many people with the same problem as u...I guess I'll just post my solution here n hope it relieves some of everyone's headaches..
I've discovered a way to preserve my ipod songs n transfer it into my new computer. It took
me quite a while to figure it out so if it also work for u, please give credits where
credit is due~ ^_^ MyMyMai
Follow these steps for Windows XP users:
1) Go to "Start"
2) Go to "Control Panel" n click on it.
3) Click on "Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices"
4) Click on "Portable Media Devices", then a list of ur portable devices should pull up,
including ur ipod.
5) Click on ur ipod, then it should pull up folders named "Calendars" "Contacts" "Notes"
"iPod_Control" n "Photos"
6) Click on the "iPod_Control" folder, it should pull up several folders named "Artwork"
"Device" "iTunes" n "Music"
7) Click on the "Music" folder which would bring up several folders named "F00" "F01" "F02"
and so on and so forth.
8) All you have to do is copy n paste ALL the folders onto ur new hard drive, like ur
desktop or "My Music" folder.
9) Open up ur new itune on ur new computer, go to "file", "add folder to library", and
click on ur "My Music" folder or each "F00" folders on ur desktop.
All the songs should transfer into ur new iTune library. Hope this helps! -

I had my laptop repossesed and it had all my bak up from my iphone 4 on it i have a new computer but i cant put all my pics vids apps and songs on my itunes i really need help with this because alot of the photos and stuff i have on my iphone are sentimental as are the songs which all havnt been purchased through itunes please tell me there is a way to do this??//
Set the iTunes to prevent automatic syncing before you plug it in the first time. You should be able to extract any photos in the camera roll as you would from any other camera. You can transfer purchases to get anything you actually purchased from the iTunes store off the phone and into iTunes. Made sure you have at least 1 contact in whatever application you intend to sync contacts to. This will give you the option to merge them. If you don't, the phone will be overwritten with the blank address book from the computer.
As for extracting anything else, media sync is meant to be 1 way only. Computer>iPhone.
As for media that wasn't purchased on the phone, you can try a 3rd party program that 'may' be able to extract it, but this isn't sanctioned or supported by Apple in any way. Technically, you're out of luck if you don't have a backup from the computer that was repossesed. -
Please help!!How do I transfer from a BROKEN computer to a new computer
Hello!
I really have a problem and I hope someone can help me out. My computer recently broke and I basically cant turn it on anymore (it will shut off after like 2min). I already bought a new computer but the problem is that I had all my music (including many CD's I bought at Itunes) in my itunes on my old computer.
I know that a computer store can probably save my files somehow from my old computer but I am worried that I wont be able to transfer my itunes including music because of copyrights?! I know that there is information in the Apple support centre about how to transfer music to a new computer, but this support is aimed at people who can still USE their old computer. I would really really appreciate if someone has an advice. If you know what to do, please include it step-by-step so I can follow it (sorry I am not very advanced with computers...).
I do have music on my Ipod nano but it only has 4GB so its only a small portion of all the music I have.Just be sure to match the external case to the type of internal drive you have. So if your computer uses good old IDE/PATA drives, then get an IDE/PATA to USB2 ensloure. But if your computer uses Serial ATA drives (aka SATA) then be sure you get an external that supports that.
Alternatively, for about $20 or less you can buy a cable that will hook up to either type of drive and hooks to the computer via USB . No enclosure used, so these cables are meant to hook up to bare drives, mainly for temporary access to various drives you have laying around. Here is an example...
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=2020
which will let you hook up either 2.5 inch laptop drives or 3.5 inch full size drives and you can use either PATA or SATA drives with it.

I have had to have a new hard drive fitted and now I cannot sync my Iphone with my Apple Mac, thinks it's a new computer. Any ideas Please?
Alan CI keep this as a copy and paste. It's the same process for Mac as it is for a PC. Read it over and see what you think. Post back if you have questions.
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 laptop, start 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 Mac 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 new laptop, 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 PC. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4...
My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. No Backup anywhere : (
If I choose to sync it tells me all of the Content that does not match the iTunes library on the computer will be erased, do you want to proceed & I have to say no.
How do I replace the music library on my Computer with the Music on the iPhone?
I got my pictures off because you can access them when you connect the iPhone using Windows 7 but you cannot see any of the music so you cannot access it when using windows so don't know what to do...
Help...The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer. -
How do I transfer my checked songs from one computer to another - tried exporting library playlist etc but no luck! Please help! I have 26,000 songs - 17,000 are selected and I can't run down the list on my new computer and re-check 17,000 songs! Thanks!
Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive. This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files. -
My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipationI had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result). -
Last night my boyfriend did a reinstall of our old desktop which runs Windows XP. He did not do a back up of ITunes or the libary just whiped everything. I am afraid that if I Sync my ITouch I will lose all of my music and movies etc... since the ITouch wont recognize the computer. I have backed everything up onto the ICloud but my sysytem is so old I cant run IClooud on my desktop.I have already downloaded the newest version of ITunes onto the desktop and "Authorized" the new computer and logged into the ITunes account. But need more info before I want to plug my ITouch into it. I did this once before and lost all of my movies and music so this time I am asking before jumping in with both feet.
thank you so much for your help and time! Much AppreciatedYou should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Is there a way to run a 2005 PreSonus Firebox(with the firewire) to a mid-2011 iMac 0SX 10.7.2? It says its no longer supporting Power PC? Anything I can do without spending more money on new equipment or a new computer? Please help me.
Nevermind, I got it working.
I ended up extracting the new vob within MPEG Streamclip, which gave me an m2v and an aiff audio. I multiplexed those two back together in FFMpegX which gave me a complete VIDEO_TS folder with BUP and IFO files I needed. -
Help?? new computer and new itunes. dont want to lose information
We have 2 iphones with Sprint service - which means no SIM card. We just purchased a new computer. I downloaded itunes to the new computer since it was not pre-installed. I transfered the info from our old computer to the new one using an easy transfer cable. Our music is now in the new itunes, though not all of the playlists transfered, which is no problem. When I plug the iphone into the new computer, a message appears that all data will be erased from the phone if I continue. I dont want to lose the contacts, apps, etc by going forward. The music can be reselected so that is not an issue but the contacts and other info would be a nightmare if lost. Sprint doesn't have SIM cards, so that isn't an option to save contacts.
It was also a nightmare having 2 iphones connecting to the same itunes, so I would like to have 1 iphone to the new computer and the other iphone to our laptop. When I connect the iphone to the laptop, I get the same message.
Also, there were purchased music on both iphones - will I lose those purchases?
Thanks for any help!!Did you not copy your contacts from the old comtuer to the new one? You should copy everything from the old computer.
BTW iphone stores nothing at all on the SIM card, so that would not matter anyway.
You need to transfer anything purchased on the iphone to your comptuer: File>Transfer Purchases
