How do I add a previous itunes library to my iTunes?

I have old itunes libraries on my desktop, the .itl files.  but when I try and drag them or copy paste them to itunes they bounce out.  suggestions?  thanks very much

"I don't want to use an external hard drive as I don't have one."
Where do you keep your backup copy? Just use your backup copy. This is one of the many reasons a backup is very basic.
"I cannot use my iTouch "
True. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod - with the ipod touch.
You can also use cd's dvd's etc.
Go to the top of this screen and type "move itunes library" in the search bar next to the word "support".

  • How do I add Books tab in library on iPad.

    How do I add Books tab in library on mac iTunes. I m using mac iTunes version 11.1.5 and I could not find books option in its preferences. I have .pdf file to add in.
    I managed having Books option in Devices << my iPad but I cannot manage to have in library. Also I went through app on my devices and I could not find iBooks app.

    Okay so I have that option in tabs up to the right. However, I cannot find option to add a book to sync. I am attaching screenshot. First screenshot is for a book that I want to add and second screenshot is where I dont able to add book to. Also ignore the book that appears in second screenshot. But because there is no books in Library sidebar in the same place where you can see Music and Movies are the only options I have, and if I have books option there then definitely I can sync. so thanks for trying but I am still looking for a solution...

  • How can I add my previous icloud storage from my old iTunes ID to my new icloud  account

    how can I add my previous icloud storage from my old iTunes ID to my new icloud  account,

    "So, is it possible to sync/merge/move/share those purchased apps from the old apple-ID to a new apple-ID?"
    No.
    Sorry.
    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased, and will always have to be updated using that account.

    How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows search. The track plays on my iPad and my iPhones but will not play on my laptop!?
    It has an "!" To the left of the song title in my library
    My worry is that if I sync my iPad/iPhone then I will lose the track on those also!

    If you cannot find the file on your hard drive then once you delete the current broken entry you should be able to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This assumes the item in question qualifies. Note that audiobooks, digital booklets, iTunes LPs & Extras, ringtones, selected movies etc. don't.
    If prompted don't hide the item. You may find that you need to close and then reopen iTunes before it will appear for download.

  • After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    You have two separate questions here...
    To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
    I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches.

    The extension is usually .mov, .m4v, or .mp4.   But you can't just change the extension.  The movies have to be encoded in a particular fomat.  Anything downloaded from iTunes or plays in Quicktime player will be fine.

  • How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes

    How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes??

    Within Windows' folder options, select the option to view all hidden and system files. Then access your iPod through My Computer. Go into the transulcent iPod "ipod_control" folder. There's a folder in there called 'Music'. All your songs are in the several folders within this folder.
    Sadly they're all renamed by iTunes, but all artist, album and song name information is retained within the files. You can simple copy the files from this folder onto your hard drive and add them into iTunes as normal.

    Hi,
    Try mydigitallife forums. There are threads about modding BIOSes and accessing the advanced option. It's not recommended by HP so you have to go somewhere else as the modding will cancel your warranty if something goes wrong.
