Help with importing music from your old computer that is on cd rw's

When you import music from your old computer that is on cd rw's how do get all the song info back?
For example when you plug your ipod in (after you've imported the music) that already has on the songs on it and the titles will it just automatically update it? I have soooo many songs and I'm really not looking forward to having to fill in all the information now myself.Music was exported from my old computer from itunes on to blank cd's. Now I'm in the process of importing the cd's into the itunes library. The songs do not come with titles. They just say track 1, track 2, for example. From my understanding itunes can only pull up the cd info for the actual cd that you buy in the store. I would really appreciate anyone's help.

I'm not sure. I burned the songs on a cd-r through itunes. What do you think?
Sadly, this is not a good way to prepare for transfering your library. If your music still exists on your iPod then the easiest thing is probably to look at this post from Zevoneer which gives details of various methods for pulling data back from the iPod.

  • Will importing music from my old computer to my new computer use up my internet?

    I just got a new computer and im using iTunes home sharing to import my music library from my old computer to my new one. I was wondering if it was using up my internet or not..

    Not a problem, the home sharing data is only moving over your local network.

  • HT1420 when I try to import music from my old computer i get an error message that says authorization is needed to access "the song"

    I am trying to import my music on my old laptop to my new laptop using Home Sharing both computers are authorized however I can't seem to import due to an error message that says authorization is needed to access "the name of the song"  Help.

    If they were ripped from CD's there is no authorization.
    Were they possibly purchased with a different Apple ID?  If so, you'll need to authorize the computer for that Apple ID.

  • How do you download music from your other computer to your new one?

    I have 2 ipods with music from my old computer on it and now my new computer doesnt give me the option to download my music to itunes. I REALLY WANT TO BUY NEW SONGS! please help us figure out how to do this! thanks

    You need to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one. You can use Migration Assistant or just copy the files from one to another.
    If they were purchased from the iTunes Store all you have to do is "authorize" the computer to play them. You can authorize up to five computers.

  • Just got a new mac computer and none of the music from my old computer's itunes transfered when I transfered the contents of the hard drive.  Now I'm trying to transfer music from my ipod and can't get all the files....help?

    Just got a new  computer and none of the music from my old computer's itunes transfered when I transfered the contents of the old hard drive.  Now I'm trying to transfer music from my ipod and can't get all the files....help please?

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You may be able to purchase a third partyn program to get the rest ( not supported by Apple)

    If you only copy your Files you will lose your favorites. The best Way to copy your Library to the New Computer is to Export your libery (you can find the Export in the menue). This will copy your Wohle Library on cd. If you Out in These cd's in your new Computer iTunes will copy it with all informations.
    While that may work, it is extremely time consuming and unnecessary.
    Copying the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer will keep the library intact.

  • I'm retiring my old computer (windows xp) to a new computer (windows 7). How can i easily move my itunes music from the old computer to the new computer? i have my playlists organized in my old computer, i would like it to stay that way in my new computer

    i'm retiring my old computer (with windows xp) and bought a new computer (with windows 7). How can i easily move my itunes music from the old computer to the new computer? i have my playlists organized in my old computer, i would like it to stay that way in my new computer. I also have my ipods, iphone sync'd in the old computer so i want to make sure that things won't get messed up (my apps, playlists, etc) when i move over everything to the new computer and sync all my devices with the new computer.
    Thanks in advance for the tips.

    Make sure the XP box is upgraded to the latest version of itunes. Also make sure it's using the itunes media folder layout as explained here, because that's what the W7 is going to be using.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3847
    Install itunes on the new W7 PC.
    Get these folders from the XP machine
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    And put them here on the W7 machine
    C:\users\username\My Music\iTunes
    C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

    The "iPod" part can really be any drive or DVD-R or whatever your can fit the library onto.

  • HT1329 trying to download music from an old computer

    I did all of the steps and have just gotten the message that I can't replace the iTunes folder b/c it's invisible. What do I do now?

    That should be easy enough!
    From your old computer:
    from an old pc you need an external drive. It needs to be formatted in FAT32 which most are so that shouldn't be a problem. Just copy your itunes folder onto the drive. (assuming you had itunes keep it organized) Then plug it in to your mac. Just drag the files into itunes. When you do, it will COPY them into your mac's itunes folder.
    If it wasn't being kept organized then just find all the files and add them to your external drive.
    From your iPod to mac:
    Well! hopefully, it should be easy enough. There is a problem called senuti. It allows you to move your files off your iPod and onto your mac. The only problem may be that the ipod is syncing with windows but lets hope not!.

  • I want to transfer my music from my old computer to my new computer and on to my iphone

    I want to transfer my music from my old computer to my new computer and on to my iphone.
    I have a Dell laptop which has all my music on it, on Itunes, and synchronised with an Ipod (not an iphone).
    I have an Asus laptop which is synchronised with my iphone 4S.
    I have my new Dell desktop. I have not copied any music or itunes on to it.
    Ultimately, I want to connect my iphone 4s to my new Dell desktop.
    I want my new Dell desktop to have all my music on it, on itunes, with the Playlists as per my old Dell laptop.
    I want my iphone to have all that music on it.
    But I also want my iphone to have the apps and other material that is already on it.
    How should I go about all this?

    can you explain how to copy from one computer to the other computer?
