How can I transfer my purchased songs onto a new itunes?!

Hi,
So recently my laptop was wiped 'cos it had a load of issues and when it came back they'd put the songs back on itunes but all my playlists and settings had gone.
My phone is now reading the iTunes library as a new one, which is fine because I've got my playlists sorted and stuff so I was planning to just sync it again BUT I have a bunch of songs on my iPhone that I bought, that once I sync up to the 'new' library will disappear because they aren't on the library on my PC!!!
Is there any way I can move them over or save them or something? I really don't want them to go!

Please note that this feature only works for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library.

    Is this a purchase of ExportPDF? If so, there is nothing to transfer, it's just something on the web. Log in with the same Adobe ID, job done.
    If it's something else, what is it?

    iCloud does not store messages for you to see/access at icloud.com.  It does back up messages so you can restore your iPhone if it ever needs to be reset to factory default.  A backup is an image of all your data on the iPhone, and if you delete some messages, then they won't be part of any further backups.
    If two people use the same iCloud account, then their devices are kept in sync, just like a single user's multiple devices are kept in sync.  It's usually a good idea to have separate accounts for two people, since it's rarely the case that they want each phone to be an exact replica of the other.
    Your iphone syncs contacts, events, camera roll, and many other things without the use of a computer.

  • How do I transfer non-purchased songs to a new mac?

    I had a mid 2009 Macbook Pro and the hard drive in the computer got damaged. I was able to back up some stuff but because this unexpectedly happen I was not able to back up my itunes library. My other apple products are synced via icloud and i wouldnt have a problem transfering the itunes songs into a new mac. the problem is that i have non-purchased songs and I dont know how to transfer them into the new mac. Does anyone know how can i transfer non-purchased content into itunes? Thanks for the help

    Unless you're able to restore them from the hard drive, you'll need to either do so from a backup or reload them from the original source.

  • If i have songs on another computer, how can i get the purchased songs on my new computer

    I had Itunes on a computer of mine that will not turn on now, is there a way to get those purchased songs on my new computer?

    Copy them from your backup copy of your computer.
    If you failed to backup for some reason, transfer them from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
    If you are in the U,S use the newly released icloud.

  • How do I transfer my ipod data onto my new itunes libary?

    My PC recently got wiped clean of all memory due to a system failure and I lost all my songs from my itunes libary but they remained on my ipod. When I plug my ipod into my PC it comes up with the message that gives me the option to either: erase and sync my ipod, transfer purchases or cancel. I tried to transfer my purchases but only half of them transfered. To save time and money I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to transfer my songs from my ipod onto my new itunes libary.

    Hey there,
    Ignore the message that comes up in iTunes. Hit "Cancel"
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
    There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
    Hope this helps. Make sure if you have iTunes purchases, to authorize your new library at some point.

  • My computer crashed and I lost all of my I-tunes folder, how can I download my purchased items onto my new laptop

    When i went to the itunes store it was asking me to pay for it again, help please!!!

    When you buy items from iTunes, it's downloaded to your computer, yours to keep, and to make a backup of.
    I have some advice here that might help you recover your music.
    Recovery options:
    A: If Windows isn't booting:
    You need to boot the computer from a "recovery disk or USB" that has a operating system on it and a graphical user interface to transfer files from your boot drive to a external drive.
    I suggest using the Easy USB Installer to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a 2-4 GB USB key.
    http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
    or
    burn a ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 or PartedMagic to a cd-r with ImgBurn or Win 7 right click and burn
    You can use Disk Utility in OS X to select the ISO and burn to cd/dvd as well.
    Once you have it installed, consult this page for your BIOS boot key to hold to get into the BIOS.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
    Plug the USB into the back (if possible) of the computer, connect the external drive and enter the BIOS, set the USB (or CD) as first boot and SAVE.
    Boot off the USB/CD and "Try Ubuntu/Run from disk" DON'T INSTALL. (Parted Magic loads into RAM and ejects CD)
    Once in, go under the menu Places > Computer and transfer your files to the external drive just like you would in Windows, drag and drop.
    (If using Parted Magic double click on the Mount Drive left icon twice, use the two GUI windows to transfer files to external drive, unmount drives, log out/quit in the lower left corner menu option)
    B: If the computer hardware isn't working, but the drive might still work:
    You'll have to remove the power cord and manually extract the hard drive. This might result in some damage.
    There is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
    C: If your iTunes content is deleted...
    It might be recoverable if it hasn't been overwritten yet by fresh data. Undelete software works by reading the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, not what the OS says.
    You need to use undelete software pre-installed before the iTunes content was deleted, or while on a bootable cd/USB and a external drive to transfer the recovered files.
    You can also install undelete type software on a new machine and USE STEP B above to "undelete" the files and recover them directly to the new computer.
    You can't install undelete software or recover files to the same drive your attempting to recover from or it overwrites the deleted data.
    D: If the hard drive doesn't work and...
    The data isn't worth spending $2000-$3000 in a ATTEMPT at platter dissection recovery, then your finished
    If the data on the drive was encrypted, data recovery efforts may be futile, unless it's a encypted file and you transfer it successfuly and have the password to de-crypt it.
    E: If you have a "iDevice" with any content
    It can be synced back into iTunes, check at iLounge what third party software works reliably now and for your version.
    Once you log into your iTunes account, you can sync ONLY iTunes purchased content back from a iDevice
    Third party software can recover just about all the items on a iDevice, regardless of it's origin. (can't recommend such software here)
    F: If any of the above is too hard, or the data is of "critical importance"
    Then seek professional computer or forensic level recovery services.
    Get help from someone who has done this sort of thing repeatly and can almost guaranty 100% results.
    There is Linux software that can "rip" all data off a iOS device if that level of attention is needed, seek a professional service.
    Hope this helps in your data recovery efforts.
    Please, backup your data, it's the only thing us IT professionals can't recover.

  • How can I move my old songs to my new itunes?

    When I open my iTunes store, a blank screen comes up with 'iTunes Store' and the top bar says 'Accessing iTunes Store' but it never loads and the internet connection is fine.

    Launch iTunes.

  • How do I transfer my purchased songs/albums back from itunes to iphone 3g after a restore?, How do I transfer my purchased songs/albums back from itunes to iphone 3g after a restore?

    I recently blocked my phone by entering the password incorrectly so I restored the phone as suggested by other users. This has worked but only some of my data has been saved and restored back to my iphone. However not one of my songs has been moved over? My iphone is still connected to the computer and to itunes since its restore. I can see my purchased items in the 'purchased' section under 'PLAYLISTS' however none of them transfer over to itunes on my iphone even after I have attempted to sync again?
    Any advice grately appreciated.

    Is the missing content actually in iTunes on the computer?
    If it is, sync it to the device the same way all other content is synced.  Tell iTunes to sync it... it will not magically happen.
    If it is not in the iTunes library on the computer, you may be able to redownload past purchases from iTunes.

  • How can i transfer my purchased items to a new apple ID?

    I currently have an apple ID that i use for all my iMessages and everything else i do except for my app and itunes purchase. I know we don't have the option to merge 2 apple Id's yet so i was wondering if there is a way to transfer what I've already purchased to the other apple ID i have. In a sense merging by transferring everything over.

    There is no way to merge or transfer anything to another AppleID. The App Store license also specifies that purchases cannot be transferred.

    This is why it is basic to maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.
    The ipad simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
