How can I download my iTunes library from my old Mac to my new iPhone 5 without being able to use iMatch. iMatch is not compatible with my old Mac that runs on 10.5.1

Just got an iPhone 5, and learned that the 100 or more CDs that I had uploaded to iTunes on my older Mac cannot be downloaded to my new phone using iCloud/iMatch. I match is not compatible with the older operating systems. I spoke to a Apple genius, and he said that there is software out there that will do the job. Is anyone familiar with any of these? Frustrated, and need help.

I regret to say that you need a new computer. That G5, as good as it still is, simply cannot run the required software to be used with the latest iPhones and other software.

    Install iTunes 9.2.1 on your computer. If the device's requirements specify iTunes 10 or newer, you need to purchase Mac OS X 10.5 on DVD.

  • How can I Transfer my iTunes Library from my old computer to my new?

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro (my first Mac) and I am trying to figure out how I can get my library from my iTunes off of my old computer onto my new one?  I thought that it was saved by accounts, so when I signed into my iTunes on my new MacBook, all of the songs would be there or automatically transfer into it.  This did not happen.  Is there a way to do this?  I want all my music and movies back!
    Thank you.

  • How can I get my itunes library from my old pc to my new pc?

    On my old one, when I downloaded the newest version of itunes it reset my ipod nano deleting everything (everything is still in itunes just not on the ipod).  So I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.  It keeps saying that there are no drivers to uninstall/reinstall, doesn't work.  My dad gave me another pc and I would like to know how to get the itunes library to it without having to burn eveything to cds and transfer it that way.  I don't have any other apple products, but I do have a blackberry curve and a kindle fire.  Could I use one of them to transfer?  I appreciate any help I can get.

    if youre music was in the default plcae for music to be kept (mine is C:\Users\*whatever youre name is*\Music)
    and you have removable storage (flash drive or an external HDD) just go to where you have youre music stored select youre data and move it to the usb flashdrive/HD then just plug it in to the other pc and if you have itunes installed go to C:\Users\*ur username here*\Music
    iTunes\ITunes Media then drag it into the automatically added to itunes folder.
    this is basically the same on xp\vista\7 excpet vista\7 have "libraries" kinda just shortcuts to where the data is stored by default.
    if this confuses you sorry.

  • How can I import my iTunes library from my iPod classic to my new computer?

    I have just purchased a Macbook Air and would like  to transfer the iTunes music files from my iPod classic into iTunes on the new computer. I can't access my old windows computer.

    You will need a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac

  • How can i get my itunes libary from my old computer that i dont have access to anymore

    i downloaded itunes to my netbook and i cant figure out how to get my old libary from when i got my iphone 4 and synced it to a labtop that i dont have access to anymore

    Your library will only be where you put it.  it does not magically appear anywhere.
    It has alwasy been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a  backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some counties:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I have an older ipod 80gb that I've just reset and associated with my iTunes account.  It's recognized and up to date but when I sync I can't download any of my music.  How can I download my iTunes library to this device?

    Hello Analogue guy living in wireless world,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your music to your iPod.
    I recommend trying to sync your music again using iTunes.  When you have your iPhone connected to iTunes, I recommend checking the Music tab to verify that Sync Music is checked.  From here, you will be able to select to sync your "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres:"
    I recommend reviewing the full article here:

  • Can I download my iTunes library (from iCloud) in it's entirety if I have a hard drive crash?

    Can I download my iTunes library (from iCloud) in it's entirety if I have a hard drive crash?

    You can download the music from iCloud using the download arrows besides the songs - see the iTunes help:
    Play or download songs from iCloud
    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
    To play the song, double-click it.
    To download the song, click the Download button.
    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides anyprevious iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
