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

How can i move my itunes library onto my new computer if i dont have the old computer?
i have installed i tunes on my new laptop and when i plug in my i phone it syncs fine but when i go into my library there is only music i have purchased from i tunes, the old library itself is not there (no uploaded music via old cd's ect) and i can only up load photos i have taken with my phone, not the photos from my old computer/library. all my music and photos are still on my iphone but i want to upload everything onto my new computer not just my i tunes purchases and photos only taken with my iphone.......help please its driving me mad!!!!!!! surely there is a way to move items from my phone to my computer and not by sending 500 photos via email and waving goodbye to my music i no onger have the cd's for?!?!?!?!?!?! madness!!!!!
thanks :-)Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to youir new computer along with all other important data, and where is the backup for your old computer that should include your iTunes library along with all other important data?
Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced. This is why Apple doesn't provide a way to transfer these photos in the opposite direction and why photos available on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - iTunes library, documents, etc.
There are 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but the original resolution of these photos will be forever lost, and the same for transferring music from your iPhone that was not purchased from the iTunes store. -
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.See Here for one way

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 get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?
You don't use Airplay. You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?
How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -

How can I get all the stuff from my old iPad 2 to my new iPad 2? I have an apple id and have synced and backed up my old iPad 2 regularly.
Sky is right you can restore the old backup and it will not affect the old iPad
To make sure do this:
1. If you have the old one then just turn off wi-fi and the iPad (that's just for your peace of mind)
2. Put new iPad on airplane mode (just for no interruptions )
3. Connect it (while it's on, don't shut it down)
4. Follow prompts and when it asks if you want to setup as new or restore CHOOSE: RESTORE
5. It will make its magic (just wait for it to sync, restarts, and finishes) it might ask you to update software if it does just accept
6. You can rename your new iPad like that you can have a fresh back up
7. ENJOY your new iPad
----------OR-----------
1. Do the above steps 1, 2, 3.
2. On step 4 you can choose to set up as new
3. Then you can choose what to sync on it (click on iPad on the left panel then the tabs on top you choose what you want on it (you can also do that if you restore)
4. Follow steps 5, 6, 7.
****If you don't have your old iPad you can remove it from your account ****
****Also when they sync it to a new computer it will setup as new unless they had an old one then they will restore it their old one****
****if you have it connected with your MobileMe or iCloud and you have the find my _____ you can also wipe it as soon as it comes online****
LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
AGAIN ENJOY YOUR NEW IPAD!!!
