Help on music transfer, old to new.

How can i transfer music that's on my old clicker wheel ipod and set up on an old pc to my new laptop which already has my iphone and itunes set up on it? I ain't got a clue what to do coz it says i can't have both.

All of the music from your ipod dhould be on your cmputer as that is where it came from in the first place.
Just sync it from your computer to your iphone.
"it says i can't have both."
What says that you cannot have both what?

    how to transfer music from itunes on old computer to new lap top w/ installed itunes

    On a Mac there is an application in the Utilities folder called Migration Assistant. Running this application on both Macs and connecting your old and new macs together will allow you to transfer all files you might want from the old Mac to the new one. It's pretty easy to do and the application is pretty easy to understand and follow the instructions.
    Not sure hw you might do this on a PC.

  • Copying itunes music from old to new Windows PC

    Hi,
    I currently have iTunes installed on my laptop, the iTunes config files are in the default directory on the C:\ however the actual music files and folders are on an external USB drive.
    I have just purchased a new Dell Inspiron 6400 and want to transfer my iTunes onto this new laptop. I assume I have to install iTunes onto the new laptop but after that I have no idea.
    1. What are the steps to copy over my iTunes from old to new laptop?
    2. Will it keep the playlist and folder structure on the new laptop that is already setup on old laptop?
    Cheers Col.
    Dell Laptop   Windows 2000   iTunes 6.0.4.2

    If you download a program called ephPod you will be able to copy all the songs from your iPod to a folder of your choice on your new computer. Its free as well, which is always good.
    once downloaded, connect your ipod to your new computer and ephPod will load up all the songs on it. if you click on songs at the top (as in, sort by songs), then select all and copy to directory it will ask u to select a folder on the computer to copy the songs to. then just simply press ok and it shold work. any photos can be copied by going into your iPod via My Computer and just clicking on iPod -> Photos. good luck!

  • Transfer old and new music from iphone to new computer account?

    So my account on my family Mac desktop was malfuntioning -- meaning the apps open would not close, and the loading screen and rainbow cursor would not go away (its been days) therefore i decided to delete my account and create a new one.
    My account had everything of mine personal on it and noone elses. I thought that since all of my music was on my phone, i could just transfer all the music back to the computer, once i set up the new account that has nothing on it.
    Its not working.
    All the music I have is on my phone and only my phone. It is a mix between computer purchases, phone purchases, and CD's. All on various accounts from the past 7 years ever since i got my first ipod shuffle.
    Im really really hoping i can transfer everything back to my computer, because so far its only transferred the songs ive purchased on my phone, nothing else.
    And it hasnt asked me for verification or authorization for other accounts or anything.
    Help? Im desperate.

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

  • How to transfer music from old to new account?

    Hi i had an account for itunes that was with AOL but as im not with AOL anymore they have stopped me from using the account so how do i transfer my old music to a new account or is it not possible?

    OK, if you have followed the advice on the page, it is probably best to contact Apple via the contact us button at the bottom of the page.
    BTW have you checked that all you account info is correct in the new account?

  • How to transfer music from old to new IPod

    I recently bought a new 30GB IPod Photo. How can I get the music from my old IPod to this new one?

    If your music is only on your iPod and you have no back up or the original computer to sync to, there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • I need help transferring music from old PC to iPhone

    Ok...I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but I have tried everything and my husband is no longer amused!
    His iTunes account was created many years ago with an iPod Nano. I don't even remember which computer I had at the time and do not think I still have the original. The majority of his music is ripped from CD's. When Verizon finally got the iPhone, he got one immediately. I remember having to download the Pod to PC software at some point to move music from the iPod to a new computer. For some reason, I think the original crashed? (I don't know if this is relevant) Anyway, I think it was easy to originally put the music on the new phone.
    At some point, however, it was lost from the phone. And, then that phone was dropped and the glass broken. He bought another from a friend. The current one has only the purchased music that is in his iCloud account.
    Now, this is my issue. I have an old Toshiba Laptop that appears to have all of the music in the iTunes library. However, when I plug in the iPhone (which is a 4 by the way, but has been updated) it does not even recognize that it's plugged in. and, nothing I can do seems to allow me to update iTunes to a more current version. I'm sure this is the computer itself as it is barely hanging on. (and never used!)
    I also believe that the old iPhone still has the music on it, but I can't be sure as the screen is so badly cracked that I can't access it.
    So: two questions: Can I some how get the files off of the old computer and transfer them to the iPad and then push them to the phone? Say, with a flash drive or drop box or iCloud?
    OR: should I just take the old phone and plug it into my computer (a Macbook Pro)... but if this is the way to do it... how exactly do I have two iTunes accounts and libraries on one computer? I'm sure this is going to be the most suggested option, but honestly, I would prefer to not do it this way if there is another option.
    Any help that you can offer will be so very appreciated as I have wasted a lot of time trying to figure this all out!

    st double checked and all of the folders are in the new computer. I can see the whole library in iTunes on the new computer but when you click on a song, it states that "The original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?

  • Help transferring music from iTunes to new MacBook Pro

    Hi there,
    I am almost all set up with my new laptop. One last hitch; I can't seem to transfer my music over. I tried to put my library (about 6G) of music from my old (PC) laptop onto my iPhone and then figured I could just upload it from the iPhone to the MacBook but I when I try to sync it doesn't seem to want to work. I am getting a message that leads me to believe that when I try to sync the iPhone to the MacBook I will lose my iTunes library. Has anyone tried this? Is there an easier way to move the music files over?
    Thanks!!

  • Transferring music from old to new computer - 2 problems/questions...

    I was able to transfer my iTunes library from my old PC to my new desktop.  I'm seeing the entire content in iTunes on the laptop just fine.  Home sharing is enabled & the laptop has been authorized.  Two problems remain.
    1. I just downloaded 7 new tunes from iTunes store (on the laptop) but they aren't appearing on either PC or laptop when I search my library on them.  Why ?
    2. I have over 4000 tunes in my library but only about half are selected (i.e. checked) for sync'ing onto my iPod.  But when I transferred the entire library to my laptop, everything is checked.  I haven't connected my iPod to the lap top because I don't want everything transferred to it.  Is there a way to sync the laptop with the PC so that the checked content is identical on both machines ?
    Once I get this squared away, I intend to deauthorize the old PC.  Please help.
    Thanks !

    Update -
    Ok, I've determined that the the songs that I transferred from my PC were actually part of my shared library.  There's always only been one computer in the house so sharing was never an issue.  As I indicated above, I'm going to deactivate my old PC once I get all this settled.  So maybe a better description of my issue is this:
    I have over 4000 tunes in my iTunes library.  About half are chcked for sync'ing with my iPod.  Some are purchased from iTunes which I understand can be redownloaded from the Cloud.  Others are from CDs that I loaded over several years. What I'm trying to do is to:
    1. Physically transfer the contents of my old PC's iTunes library to my new laptop and ;
    2.  Make the checked selections the same between the two machines so that when I connect my iPod to the new laptop, it will sync with the same tunes it has now.
    Hope this makes sense.  Apologies for the initial confusion....!

  • Transferring music from old to new computer ?

    hey!
    so i tried following the tutorial for transferring music from my old computer to my new computer (both of them PC's) and i got as far as the "copy itunes folder into ipod then connect to new computer"
    now the next step is to take that itunes folder outta my ipod folder and place it into "my music" and then delete the itunes folder from my ipod so i free up my memory again.
    the only problem is i don't know where this "ipod folder" is located so i can't extract the itunes folder and now i have all this memory used up.
    has anyone done this before because the PC version of the tutorial doesn't seem to be working. my question is what should this ipod folder look like and where can i find it?
    THANKS!

    Hi cynthia I know what your going through the same exact thing happened to me (I feel your pain and stress). You can use Windows Explorer to delete the folder it should be obsvisoly labeled I belive as "Itunes" and if you acidentally delete your music its already on your new computer anyway so all you would have to plug it in and it would sync...

  • Need help restoring music and pics to new computer...

    Hello,
    My computer recently got a power surge from lighting and I had to buy a new one. I already deauthorized my computer and authorized my new one but I cant get my files on my Ipod Nano 3rd generation to upload to my new computer. I got my music files to upload but can not get my play lists to up load to Itunes or my pics to upload to my computer. I am using Vista now and don't exactly know where to find everything...that could be some of the problem. lol I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!

    The best program I know to reload your playlists to iTunes is CopyTrans http://www.copytrans.net/copytrans.php

  • Help: Moving contacts from old to new account

    how can l move contacts from old account to new

    Hello,
    This greying-out of your iPod's songs are due to what setting you are on in iTunes.
    Go to "Edit -> Preferences -> iPod". Under the "music" tab, there will be three selectinos of options:
    Automatically update ALL songs
    Automatically updater SELECTED songs
    Manually manage songs
    From your description of this issue, you are on one of the "automatic" settings. To un-grey your iPod's songs in iTunes, change that setting to "manually manage music" instead of automatic".
    If any post is helpful or solves your issue, please mark it that way, this makes it clearer to other users what solved your issue, and encourages others to help each other on here. Thank You!
    I hope this answers the question,

  • Need help tranferring license from old to new computer.

    What is the procedure for transferring an Acrobat X Pro license previously downloaded from the Adobe LWS from one computer to another without having to purchase a new license?
    Appreciate any assistance.

    Hi Mikhail Y.,
    To transfer license of Acrobat X from your first computer to second computer you just need to uninstall Acrobat X from your first computer and install it on the second computer with the serial number.
    With all other software there is need to deactivate the software from the help menu of the software but with Acrobat X uninstallation will deactivate the software from the machine and you can easily activate the same on second computer.
