How can you transfer songs from a computer to another?

here's the problem
my old computer shorted out and was beyond repair
so i have a new one. but, there was about 100$ worth of music on the old one
so...my question is: how can i get my songs back?
(remember, my old computer is worthless)

1 do you have backups?
2 do you have your songs on an iPod? It is possible to copy music from you iPod to your PC, but you have to do it right or the files can get deleted from the iPod. Don't allow your iPod to sync with iTunes on the new PC.
3 Although your old PC may be fried, it is possible that the disk drive still works. If the drive is OK you can purchase a Drive Enclosure and use the old drive as an external HD on your new PC. If that works your should simply be able to copy your msuic files across.

  • How do you transfer songs from one computer to another?

    So my current computer's usb cables don't work anymore and I need a way to transfer the songs from this computer to my sister's. I have music that wasn't purchased from the store in my library from things like cd's and other personal files that my friends and family have sent me and I would like to have them all in my library but the only thing that shows up on my sister's computer are the songs that I've purchased. Is there a way to sync my music or put it on my sister's computer somehow? Thank you!

    See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you transfer the songs via some other method when working with a new library you should also look at backing up and then restoring the device to protect the data that you have on it. Alternatively copy over the entire library into a new location on your sister's computer and switch to your library when you want to update your device. See iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.

    how can i transfer songs from my computer to iphone?

    Connect the phone to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can enable the sidebar via control-S, on a Mac via option-command-S) and on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen select the Music tab and use that to select which of your computer's iTunes music to sync to your phone's Music app.

    How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    Welcome to the forum.
    I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
    Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
    Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
    Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
    Good luck,

    How can you transfer data from one ipod to another ipod ?

    The geniusbar told me what to do, I understood but there is still a problem for me >:/ It's not showing up though. Like "device."  Nothing is happening, and I tried as soon as I got home. Then after half an hour, then an hour, then 3 hours. My problem is that it's not showing up! It's stuck in recovery mode! There's still like 25% battery. So I have no idea why.

  • How can you transfer photos from one phone to another

    How can you transfer photos from phone to phone

    If you are trying to get all the photos from an old phone to your new phone, you could sync the old phone which would create a backup containing your Camera Roll. Then connect the new phone and follow the prompts to register and name your new phone. You will then be given the choice of restoring data to your new phone from a backup of the old phone. This will replace any existing data on the new phone with the data from the backup so it's really the best option if the other phone is new.
    Another option would be to connect the phone to your computer and import your photos to iPhoto or the My Pictures folder. Then you could sync the other phone and under the Photos tab in iTunes you could choose the folders/albums of pictures you want on the phone. They will not be in the Camera Roll, but they will be on the phone.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can i transfer songs from one itunes to another?

    I have a new computer and want to transfer all of my songs from one computer to another.  I have home sharing turned on but can't figure out how to save the songs to the new computer.

    I have home sharing turned on but can't figure out how to save the songs to the new computer.
    First, make sure you've got the home share set up on both computers, as per the following document. If material on the original PC was bought from the iTunes Store, I'd use the AppleID you used for the purchases to set up the Home Share on both PCs.
    iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
    Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
    Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
    Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
    If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.
    If there's a lot of stuff in your original PC's library, the transfer may take some time.

  • How do you transfer PSE from one computer to another when the original purchase was on line without a disc?

    I have PSE10 on a WindowsXP machine that I upgraded from PSE8.  The upgrade was done with a download; no disc.  The only disc I have is the PSE8 version.  I now have a new Windows 8 machine.  How can I get the PSE10 program onto the new Windows 8 machine?  I will also need to transfer the organizer information.  Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Hi there,
                  I see that you have informed 2 things:
                  1. Upgraded OS WindowsXP to Windows8
                  2. Do not have installation media Disc for PSE10 as you purchsed as download.
                  1. Please note: PSE10 is not compatible with Windows8, it's not tested on this OS, however you can try working on this, in case if you face any issue it will be extremely hard to get it resolved,
                  so I would still suggest you go with Windows 7 in case if you have it. For Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 System Requirement visit [ System requirements | Adobe Photoshop Elements ]
                  2. Mostly downloads are provided by directly Adobe, so you can directly login to your adobe.com account and download the software from there, you only need to have the installation media of current version software,
                      When you try to activate the PSE10, you need to enter the serial number of PSE10, as it's an upgrade, you will be asked for it's previous qualifying serial number of PSE8.
                      ......................If you need help in finding serial number, please visit [ Find your serial number quickly ]
                    -> In case if it's purchased from a reseller, you may  not get the download now, for that you have have [ Other downloads ]

  • How do you transfer songs from one ipod to another?

    i got a new ipod touch and i want to put my music from my old one onto the new one. but it is not working and i do not know what to do.

    Haven't you got your songs in iTunes? Just connect your new one and it will update from your Library.
    However if you have deleted them from the PC, there are a number of third party utilities that can retrieve the files from your iPod.
