How can I get my entire itunes library onto my PC laptop?

I had an ipod touch, where I bought and stored most of my music. I only have a few songs on my PC laptop. Unfortunately my ipod has litterally fallen apart, to the point where it can't be used (pieces of the screen, wiring, and the outside have fallen off.) How can I get the entirety of the songs I have purchased using my apple id, including those that were on my ipod, onto my laptop? I have itunes 10.7 currently, but can install a newer version of itunes if need be. (As you may have noticed) I'm not a particurally tech savvy person, and I thank you greatly for your help.

    That is not necessarily true. You are allowed to make a back-up of media you own and, at least in the Netherlands, even a copy of a work you've borrowed from a library. The law expressly permits this and you pay a certain amount for recordable media to allow for home use.  See http://www.thuiskopie.nl/nl for this.  If you then decide to destroy the media, i.e. do not transfer the media to someone else, I don't see how you infringe copyright by keeping the back-up. But I guess some so-called creatives like the idea of making money in all kinds of hypothetical ways...
    It is a nice dream, where you have to work once and then earn a lot of money by selling millions of copies from your work. But buyers can make copies too!! Hahahahahaha!

  • How can i restore my entire iTunes library onto my new mac book pro from a previous time machine backup?

    after using the migration assistant, it appears that only my iTunes purchases loaded into my library on the new MCB, not allllll the other mp3's i've loaded in from other sources, although they are sitting in the back.up folders on my external drive. those mp3's have to be opened manually to get them back into iTunes. there has to be a more effiecient way to load these tunes right?????

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can i back up my itunes library onto an external hard drive?

    I can seem to figure out how to back up my Itunes library onto my external hard drive. Any advise?

    A quick search provides the answer, see the following:

  • How can I move part of itunes library onto an external hard drive?

    I have a small hard drive (160 gb) and I want to keep my music on my internal hard drive so I can take my laptop around and listen to music throughout the day, but if I want to watch a movie I can plug in my external hard drive and launch them from itunes. For example, if the external hard drive was not connected it would just say "unable to find file". Currently I have my entire itunes library on an external hardrive.
    Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

    Create a new library and transfer what you want in it from your other library. To switch between libraries hold down the OPTION key as you start iTunes. Select the one you wish to use.

  • How can I move my entire iTunes library from old laptop to new one?

    I got a new iPad for Xmas to replace an old laptop not realising I would still have to have a laptop or PC for my main iTunes library. I have got round ths by creating my own area on my partner's laptop & have installed my iTunes library on there. However, it has only installed my purchased music & not my wider collection such as all my CD's that I burned then got rid of to go digital. I have my complete library on my iPad & iPhone but need it on my laptop too in case I lose or break a device & need to install my iTunes library to a new device.
    I have followed the support detailing how to move your iTunes to a new computer but am not getting very far. I don't have an iPod to use as an external hard drive. I read that you can drag your iTunes library to a CD or DVD but my library is 16GB & I don't have any disc big enough!
    Does anyone have an idea of a simple way I can do this? Is it not possible to do it directly from my iPad or iPhone seeing as my complete library is on both of these devices?

    Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
    To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
    Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
    I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    That will let you transfer your non purchased content
    For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
    In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
    Download any music by clicking on the cloud button

  • How can I get back my itunes library settings?

    My dad recently created a new profile and my library got lost with the old profile. I was able to move all my music from the old profile to my new library but i lost all my settings. I have the music but it doesn't show any of my ratings for any songs, no play counts, the date added is wrong, no playlists, and I had selected specific songs I wanted on my ipod but now it has all of them selected again. I still have all my old settings on my nano if I can get them off there somehow. If anyone knows how i can get my settings back please help.

    It sounds to me like the original iTunes Library file got replaced. If so, transferring from the nano will be your only possibility. If you search VersionTracker for "iPod", you'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your playlists from your iPod back to your Mac. One or more of those utilities might also be able to transfer playcounts and ratings.

  • How can I get my  complete iTunes library list back?

    I just downloaded a song from the iTunes Music Store. I don't know what I did, but now my screen only shows two recordings of the same song.
    1. I want my library screen to show ALL of my songs, preferably in alphabetical order, if that is possible.
    2. I want the songs to play in the order in which they are on the screen, if that is possible. How can I do this?

    The browser is very useful to find stuff.
    You can click in genre, Artist or Album and start to
    type what you're looking for. Or click on a song and
    start to type.
    Also, the Search box in the upper right
    I'm learning some little tricks, but the most important thing for me is to have All of the songs in one list. I now know how to do this when something happens to change this setting. Other than this, I admit that there are times that I want to see all of the songs asociated with one particular artist. I can now do that also. As to "genre" or "album," I have no interest. "Genre" seems to be a very subjective classification. I wish iTunes didn't have all of their unnecessary and subjective classifications. All I need are artists and songs, and I find them unnecesarily difficult to find in the iTunes Music Store, but that's another story.
    As to the search feature, I knew about it, but it only works when you don't have your songs broken down into so many categories. One list, that's all I need. "Most popular," "top 25," etc. are unnecesary and unwanted complications.

  • How can i fix my entire itunes library?

    so my computer crashed and i didnt have my music backed up anywhere except for on my iphone.
    i got a new computer and that itunes only had downloaded my previously purchased itunes songs, which is about 600 songs; but on my phone i have over 2,000 songs.
    i wanted to put one single song on my phone that i couldnt buy on itunes because itunes doesnt have this song.
    i read on a different discussion that if i chose "manually manage music" and clicked apply that i would be able to do so without it affecting my library on my phone.
    however when i did that, it erased my entire library on my phone and i dont even know if restoring it will restore the music.
    i just want my music back; and then a way to transfer it all onto my computer so this wont happen again would be great.
    HELP???

    There should have been a warning that switching to manually managed mode would wipe current media from the device. The tips in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device would have worked at that point however I fear it is now too late for that approach.
    If you are lucky it may be possible to extract the hard drive from the "dead" computer and recover your personal data from it.

  • How do I get my entire iTunes library off of my iPhone?

    I have an iPhone 4s, and for some reason I have every song in my iTunes library on my phone. I put in my settings on the computer to only sync my playlist, but it still puts on other playlists that I can't delete off my phone.
    EDIT: I've noticed that in my playlists section, it has the one playlist I want plus all of the "automatic" playlists or whatever they're called, ones that have a little gear next to them, like "90's Music: or "Top 25 Most Played", and It won't let me delete this playlist from my phone, or iTunes,

    I don't think you can control what playlists appear on the phone under iOS 6.0.2 - I noticed it synced every playlist I had created on iTunes.
