How can I get all my music files into my itunes folder?

I have tons of music scattered all over my computer in different locations, I want to put all the music in my itunes folder- C:\Documents and Settings\David\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
The problem is, is when I move the music to my itunes folder the music I move does not play in itunes. So how can I do this
Thanks

Don't move files manually! That indeed causes iTunes to lose track. Use the command Advanced > Consolidate Library. Before you begin, read up on Consoidate in the Help file so you understand what it does.
When you are done consolidating, you can delete the extras if you wish.

How can I move all my music files in an specific folder to another

Hi
I am a iTunes for Windows user and I adore that program. From the beginning I have made my Library putting manually all my new music files in "D:\Mis Documentos\Mi Musica" folder, and then from here I add it to my iTunes Library.
The problem I have now is that I want to change my folder destination for example to "D:\Mis Documentos\Mi Música\iTunes\iTunes Music\" but the only way that I now is moving all files to that new folder and then creating a new ibrary but in that way I will lose all my counters and other thongs in the old ITL file. Also I could consolidate the library changing the folder but I don't like the way of iTunes to put the files with folders with artist and album I prefer to have all the music files in the same folder with any folder inside.
If anyone can tell me how can I do this or if there is any script o plugin for Windows to administrate this kind of moving, please answer me.
Thanks

Upgrading OS - How do I get all my music back into reinstalled iTunes?

Hi. We are upgrading my operating system from Windows 2000 to XP on my computer that currently runs iTunes. I have my entire iTunes folder backed up on another computer. I know I'll probably have to reinstall iTunes after the OS is upgraded. But how do I add all that music back into the new version of iTunes? We won't be replacing the hard drive, so all that music should still be on the same computer.
When I reinstall iTunes, will it automatically add the music back, or will I have to do that manually? If so, how do I do it? Just go to the "Add a folder" option in iTunes and add the entire iTunes folder? If I do that, my playlists should be restored since I have the .itl file in that folder, right?
This is so confusing.

Install iTunes.
Copy the backed up iTunes folder into My Documents/My Music.

you need to do a backup on your itunes and it should put all ur musics back on. that is if it was saved on your itunes.

I have an ancient laptop (from 2005) that has my entire music library. This laptop barely works and some keys don't type anymore. How can I get all this music transferred to another computer, or available to me on the cloud?

No... do not move programs.
About the iTunes library files
Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously. My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes? Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.

You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

Since I downloaded the most recent version of iOS, my iPad and iPhone do not have all the music (from CD's) anymore that I have on our home computer iTunes Library. How can I get all our music onto the music libraries on the iPhone and iPad? Thanks!

Hi
Since we downloaded the latest version of iOS on our iPad and iPhone, and synchronized our music collection in the Cloud, we can no longer see on our iPad and iPhone the music from our CD's that we have on our home computer's iTunes library. We can only see music in the iPhone and iPad library that have been purchased on iTunes. How can we get all our music from our computer's iTunes librbary visible on the iPhone and iPad? Thanks, Nick

Itunes was deleted? Or your itunes library was deleted?
If it was just itunes, then your music should still be there. Just reinstall itunes.
Otherwise just use your backup copy of your comuter to put everything back.

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.

My old computer, and external that I had everything backed up on broke. Majority of my music I got from burning CD's that I no longer have. How can I get all my music on my iPod onto my new iTunes?

Like I said, my back up broke and I can't get all of my music back by transfering purchases because I burned a lot of CD's I had collected from the past. I don't have any of those CD's anymore, so how can I get all of my music onto my new iTunes? Or am I just S.O.L.?

Phone to Mac,this app lets you easily copy, transfer the music, videos and playlists from any iPod or iPhone directly into iTunes on any Mac.

I need to set up a new iTunes account. How can I get all my music from the old account on to the new one??? Thanks../

I have just bought an ipad 2 and wish to set up a new account as now I won't have to share with my sister. I want to get all the music off my current iTunes account & put it on to the ipad/new iTunes account. I'm not too sure how to do this though.... Please help lol :-) x

If you mean iTunes libraries or computer user accounts, just create one. To make a new iTunes library on Windows, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose Create Library.
If you mean iTunes Store accounts, click here and request assistance.

How can I get ALL my music from iPod to iPad? Not only purchased but also cd rips?

I have almost all my listening music on my 30GB iPod. How can I put most of it also on my iPad - to include both purchased AND cd-ripped music?

I'm going to assume you have all this music conveniently stored in iTunes? If the answer is yes, you connect your iPad to your computer and sync the music from your Music tab to your iPad.
