How do i back-up my music to cds?

According to the directions, I should find a link under File -> Library -> back-up  on iTunes.  I can't find an option for backing up anywhere.  I would like to back-up my music to cds.

The back up to CD/DVD feature has been removed from the latest builds of iTunes. Use the backup software that comes with Windows or your drive. Alternatively...
Fast backup for iTunes library  (Windows)
Grab SyncToy  2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.

    How do I back up my Music, apps, and Books, so I can update to 5.1.1 ?

    You can copy iTunes purchases (which includes apps, music, films, ibooks etc) off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. For music from other sources (including CDs), then if they aren't already on your computer's iTunes then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off.
    You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music

  • 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 BACK UP MY MUSIC

    how do i back up my music so when i send it in to get repaired i can easily transfer all my music back into my iPod
    and can i put all the songs form my iPod into my computer?
    thx for helping

    How to back up your media in iTunes 5 or iTunes 6.
    If your music is in your iTunes library, then it will sync to your iPod when it comes back from repair.
    You shouldn't have tracks on your iPod which are not in your iTunes library.
    If you have content on your iPod which is not in iTunes... you can use something like Yamipod to put that content back into iTunes.

  • How do I back up my music and apps?

    I've just authorised my iPhone for my new iTunes installation on a new laptop. Now, I wish to back up everything on my phone to it.
    However, all I see is a Sync, which apparently just wants to transfer stuff from the laptop to the iPhone, not the other way around.
    The Backup option just seems to backup my messages, contacts & other data.
    I can't work out how to initially get all my music and apps onto the laptop.

    i  have downloaded i tunes on my windows 7 pc 64 bit now how do i back up my contacts , music , emails, files .....

    iTunes does not provide backup facilities.
    If you use backup software, it can be incorporated in the normal backup
    Or you can copy the iTunes folder onto an external disk or see this user tip using synctoy:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2682
    This refers to backing up your iTunes library, not iPhone backup.

  • How do we Back up my music files from my phone into my computer (PC) without using any programs

    I am looking for a way to back up my Music from my iPhone into the computer (Like how the iPod Nano could) WITHOUT using any programs. Is there a way? Is it possible? If so, please help....
    thankyou

    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 to copy back my ipod music and playlists to a PC?

    My computer got a virus and I had to reformat the hardrive, how do I put back all my music from my "ipod color display" back to my music folder in my pc with all the songs, song ratings and playlists?
    Thank you for the help.

    For 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.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), 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 is a little more involved than other methods.
    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.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • How do I back-up Itunes music onto an external drive?

    I wanted to know how I can back up my Itunes onto an external drive. I tried to back up but it will take about 9 discs to burn it onto. Can;t I just drop and drag all the songs onto an external drive?

    "Choose Consolidate Library from the Library section of the File menu in iTunes".
    I started this process and a screen popped up advising me this was irreversible and was I sure I wanted to do it. I clicked no until I could get further advice. If I do this, what is the outcome/consequences and why would they warn me?

  • How am I supposed to upload music from CDs onto my iMac without a CD drive?

    I have music that does not exist on iTunes, and I am beyond upset that I am not able to upload it to my computer and my phone. If there was a stupid CD drive, I would be able to enjoy my music, but I can't because the CD drive does not exist. How do I upload music from CDs onto my computer if there is nowhere to insert a disk?

    There are cheap ones (under$50) that'll last anywhere from a year to three years or more expensive(over $50 and higher) that will last much longer.
