How do i back up my music from my computer to iCloud? there's no itunes icon when i go to iCloud

I open icloud and there's no itunes icon. i got a new computer and want to back up my music to icloud so that i can move my music from my ipod to my computer without losing the music that i bought on the new one.

Music purchased from the iTunes store can be redownloaded again for free (see.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519)  In other words, it's already in iCloud so there's nothing you need to upload.
However, if you don't want to run into problems syncing with your new computer you need to copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

  • How do I back up my music from my iPhone 3G?

    How do I back up my music from my iPhone 3G?

    You didn't need or want any of the data on your computer's hard drive before wiping the hard drive to install Windows 7? No photos, documents or anything was backed up before installing Windows 7?
    The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device. Maintaining a backup for all important data on your computer's hard drive is important for a number of reasons regardless the platform, but even more so with Windows due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns. Not to mention a hard drive can have a partial or complete failure at any time.
    One option you have was as already provided. First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected to iTunes 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 content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.

  • How do i add music from my computer to my iphone using new itunes?

    i downloaded the new itunes update and recently got my iphone for Christmas and i have tried several times to drag and drop music from my computer to the itunes window and it just doesnt work, its really beginning to wind me up. The sidebar is open but still, i have no luck, i need to know where to drop the songs i am wishing to put onto my phone, please answer.

    You should be able to drop the songs on the library section of the sidebar.
    If this is not working you can try File Add Folder to library. Select the folder your songs are in and it should bring them all into the Library.

  • My old MacBook Pro crashed before I could back up my iTunes. How can I restore all my music from that computer to my iTunes on my new computer?

    My old MacBook Pro (2007) crashed on me before I had backed up all of my music on my iTunes to another source (my iPod has also crashed so I cannot use the iPod to sync all my music). I now have a new Windows 8 laptop and have downloaded iTunes onto it with my Apple ID. Is there any way for me to recover all of my songs from my old iTunes account and put them in my new iTunes? I had thousands of songs and would like to recover them if possible. Is the only way to do this by getting an external hard drive and paying someone to get all that information off my crashed computer onto the external hard drive?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    You can transfer songs that you didn't buy from the iTunes store but it requires third party software such as Suneti. This is one of the best programs I know for the task and unfortunately I'm not aware of any freeware programs that transfer music from an iOS device to the computer.

  • TS4036 how do i backup photos and music from my computer to icloud

    How do I backup photos and music to icloud to download to my iphone4s or ipad.  Not having any luck transferring by direct connect

    You can redownload music purchased from iTunes as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.  Music from other sources can only be accessed from iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match.
    Photos can be transferred by putting them in a folder, then selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  Or, you can transfer them over wifi by using an app like PhotoSync.  To stream them with iCloud, you have to set up iCloud on your computer as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, enable photo stream, then add photos as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2606.

  • How do I back-up Organizer tags from one computer to another?

    Having successfully restored my PSE6 Organizer from one computer to another as back-up,I wish to keep backing-up. However, I have tried CDs, DVDs,external hard drives and flash discs and the tags are not imported, or rather,just one or two are.
    I click ' Select All' when I import, the ticks are shown, but it does not work. Thank you,

    I need full back-up as I need Organizer for my work, so use 2 computers. I initially backed-up my entire catalogue on an external hard-drive. Then on the new computer, I used 'Restore'. Although this took 14 hours, it worked, with all tags and captions, although not Albums.
    Now, I wish to continue to back-up not only my new photos, but also the tags. I cannot use 'Restore', as this will apparently delete all those pictures already there. So, first of all, I open PSE6, then, 'Make a CD/DVD' and proceed to save. To transfer to the other computer, I use 'Get Photos or Videos'. Everything is okay, except for the tags. I have also tried just dragging the pictures over to Organizer, with the same result.
    Thank you,
