How can I transfer my star ratings to my new computer?

Just bought a new Dell. I have ITunes on my old computer, and have spent lots of time creating playlists and star ratings. How can I import that into my new computer? I have a video Ipod with my complete music library on it, and when I connect it to my new computer I can listen and change the ratings, but I can't transfer the music, or any of the playlist info. Ideas?

    I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
    1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
    and
    2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
    WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
    Thanks for any time taken on this!!!

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How can I transfer music from nano to a new computer.  Old computer is gone.

    How can I transfer music from nano to a new computer?  Old computer is gone.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Old Computer crash. How can I transfer my music  from Ipod to new Computer?

    Lightning struck my old computer, how can I transfer my music from the Ipod to the new computer (Windows XP) Itunes library?

    You don't need to buy anything from the spammers that infect these forums. There are plenty of free options.
    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

    You can download CS4 here. Download CS4 products
    Most comments I've seen say CS4 needs to be run in compatibility mode on Win 8.1. Windows 8.1 compatibility for Adobe Photoshop CS4 version 11

  • How can i transfer my iphone music to a new computer?

    I have a new work computer and I want to put my iPhone music in my iTunes on that machine, but it won't let me.  Why???

    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

  • How can I transfer the application Keynote from my old computer to a new one and get rid of it on the old computer?

    My MBP from 2008 is being retired by my university and they gave me a new MBP.  They transferred everything from their image and all my iWork documents were transferred.  However, since I added Keynote, Numbers, and Pages, they did not transfer.  He said they cannot transfer them since they are not part of their image and active directory.
    How can I get the iWork apps to my new computer and disengage them on the old computer without paying another $60?
    Thanks so much for any advice.
    Best,

    If you installed them from a DVD, you need to install that DVD onto the new computer. If you got them from the Mac App Store, redownload them from there for free.
    Having previously purchased an application on DVD or from the iTunes App Store does not allow a free download of it from the Mac App Store.

  • How can I transfer photos from my iphone to my computer without emailing each one to myself

    how can I transfer photos from my iphone to my computer without emailing each one to myself, and I thought they would be in icloud but I can't find them

    Pics taken with the iphone are imported to your computer as with any other digital camera ( as explained in the manual).
    Pics synced to your iphone from your computer should still be on the computer.

    You should call Apple Support and give them your Apple ID so that they can verify how many photos you actually do have backed up in iCloud...
    Also, are you able to do an iTunes backup at all? Because that would save all of the photos and allow you to get them onto the new device.

    David.  Thank you very much.   The problem was not with the canvas but rather the Viewer.  But the solution was the same.  Somehow, the Viewer window was re-set to Alpha.  I changed it back to RGB.... and the picture is back.   These issues are often very simple.... but they can drive you bats if you don't know the answer.   Very grateful.  Tim
