How can you move your music and stuff to computer?

Okay I have an iphone and a macbook. I have all my stuff synced on my iphone contacts, music, dates ect. Well i just updated my computer with leopard and didnt back-up my music on my computer. So all my stuff is on my phone. The only thing from my phone that will sync are my contacts and Ical events. My music, videos, and ringtones won't sync though. Can anyone help, any solutions?

Did you perform an Erase and Install?
Regardless, creating a backup or updating an existing backup is the very first step one should perform before installing a major OS upgrade such as Leopard.
Installing a major upgrade or not, maintaining a backup of all your important data is critical for a number of reasons - it isn't a matter of if but when your hard drive has a partial or complete failure since none last forever.
iTunes content - music and video is synced or transferred in one direction only - from your Mac to the iPhone and the same for photos transferred from your computer to the iPhone. The sync process is bidirectional for Address Book contacts, iCal calendar events and Safari bookmarks.
With your iPhone connected to your Mac and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases from - the name of your iPhone. This will transfer iTunes purchased content only - music and video purchased from the iTunes Music Store from your iPhone to your iTunes library - not any music transferred from a music CD to iTunes that was transferred to your iPhone. This content will be lost.

  • TS2972 How do you move your music within itunes from your regular library to the homeshares library so that you can import it to your new computer?

    How do you move your music within itunes from your regular library to the homeshares library so that you can import it to your new computer?

    You do not have to move it as such. Here are the steps to setup HomeSharing
    1) Ctrl B to turn on the top menu
    2) File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share enter your apple id and password, click create
    3) repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other computer and create home share using the same apple id and password
    On your new machine if you have turned on the left hand sidebar the Shared Library should be about halfway down like this.
    Select the songs you want and click import at the bottom right. If you want all songs then I would select one song nad Ctrl A to select all
    Finally if you have a lot of songs to transfer Switch off the wifi on the old computer. Leave the wifi on the new one. Connect with an ehternet network cable. The copying speed is way faster.

    I recently got a new computer and it wont sync with my ipod. How can i get my music and stuff on my computer?

    iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

  • How can you listen to music and play a game at the same time?

    How can you listen to music and play a game at the same time?
    I am playing music, by starting the Crash Baandicoot Nitro Kart 3D game it shuts off the music playing. Is there a way around this?
    It seems like this should be possible.

    Select the music play list you want to listen to and start it playing. Go back to the home screen and start the app you want to use, music will stop. Press the home button two time quickly and it will bring up a simple control for controling the music. This works for me with all of the apps I have purchased including games. Just a note you can pull up the same music control if the iPod is a sleep and locked by pressing the button three times quickly.

  • How do you move your iTunes data to another computer?

    Hey guys,
    I'm planning to move my iTunes data in my old and defect Windows laptop to my newer Windows laptop. All I want is, transfer all my stored music, my stored apps and iPad+iPhone backups to my newer computer without the iPad and the iPhone to lose data just because it went to a newer iTunes. How can I do that? Can someone help me?
    My iTunes in the old one is iTunes 11.0 while the new one will have the latest one or something. I'm planning to move my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4S data.

  • How do you Sync your music and not erase your movies?

    I purchased my first movie from Itunes via my laptop. I synced it to my Ipod Touch along with syncing my music, and everything was fine.
    Today I wanted to sync just my music (different playlist), and I got a message that my movies would be removed from my IPT (or something to that effect). The movie took quite long to sync to the IPT, and I was in a rush, so I didn't do anything.
    How can I sync my music without having to re-sync the movie?

    go to your iphone un itunes > music and put all the music or select the song and itunes will put the songs that are not on the iphone, if it's an iphone which has been synchornized with another itunes it will ask you to erase all the songs and sync the songs you have

  • Can you move iTunes music/playlist from one computer to another?

    I have 2 computers. My original computer is a desktop that I originally put iTunes on. It's an emachine with windows XP. Currently it is not hooked up to the internet because we have wireless in the house. I am currently using an Acer laptop so I can access the internet. I just bought an iPod and was going to sync my music from the other computer but my iTunes is not a 9 or greater so I can't sync it. So is there anyway to move the iTunes from one computer to the other? Or what would be the best way to sync the music I have.

    I have the same problem as DarkHorse08. I am in the course of moving to a new computer and I have lots of files on my old computer. Both use Windows XP Professional. I want to transfer all my I tunes files to the new computer prior to abandoning the old one. The obvious way to me would be to save a copy of the Library to an external backup drive and then import the files to the new computer. However the program will not allow you to do this - you can only copy to a cd/dvd drive and there is no command to allow you to substitute an external drive such as a backup disk. If you use instead the command Library - Export you can export to a named destination drive such as an external drive but all that is transferred is an XML document file called Library which only has in my own case 2.5mb of data - less than the Library contents.
    Apple's suggested route of Sharing is based on setting up a local network - not a serious proposition for most users.
    All in all very unsatisfactory.
    Unless I am missing something or have got something wrong....
    Suggestions welcome.

  • How can you get your music synced from iTunes to your iPod when a window pop ups on the screen saying"The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019))?

    I had 429 songs already on my iPod Touch. When I was in the process of syncing a song from my iTunes Library on to my iPod, a window popped up on the screen saying, ""The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)). I click "Device" on my iTunes Library to make sure the song was in my iPod. It showed the song that was recently synced now listed under "Device", but when I physically looked for the song on my iPod Touch, it does not appear on there at all. It all started when I decided to put a Playlist I created in the iTunes Library and transferred it on to my iPod. Do you know why it may affected my syncing process and is there any way where I could get the syncing function back to normal so that I can continue adding songs on my iPod? Thank you for listening.    P.S. My iPod iOS version is 4.3.5.

  • How do you move iTunes music from an old computer to a new computer?

    Advice and options would be greatly appreciated.

    are we talking Mac or that other OS ?
    Mac:
    the simplest way, assuming all your media files are in the default location, would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    winsloth:
    copy the entire iTunes folder from the old to the exact same location on the new machine. you can use an external HD or your network to do that.

  • How can you unload your iphone contacts to a computer

    When I purchased my phone from ATT, they copied my contacts from my existing phone memory card to the new iphone.  When looking in the iphone, the names aren't first and last, they're just one name so instead of 'Bob Jones' it came as  'Jones;Bob/H  - it was Bob Jones Home phone number.' .  No way to sort by 1st name because there isn't anyfirst name. 
    I would like to unload the contacts from the iphone into my pc, edit them and then load them back into the iphone.  Suggestions??
    Ron

    Previous to starting this, I synced to icloud. And I  believe that itunes backed up all the info to windows contacts, so they were in 2 places and the phone.
    From windows contacts, I deleted all the contacts and created several 'good' entries in windows contacts.
    I went to the phone and went to settings>icloud>contacts and turnd the contacts OFF and I have a choice of  1)keep on my phone, 2)delete from my iphone, or cancel.  So no choice to MERGE; nothing referring to ADVANCED.   Am I in the right place to do what you're suggesting??  I don't think I am.
