How do I get my DVD backed up music onto a new computer?

I feel really silly but I'm having problems. I just backed up my library to DVDs. The computer said that everything was backed up(it said burn complete) but I'm paranoid lol and I wanted to make sure. I stuck the disc in and nothing happened. I mean the computer "knew" that there was a disc in there but no list of songs or anything popped up. Can I not double check to make sure my library actually is on there like it said? Also when I switch to a new computer how do I get the backed up DVD into my itunes library? Do I have to click on something? When I backed up before with CDs it let me check to make sure everything was there AND it had an automatic import CD to library option. I'm so confused I need help.

When you open your iTunes on your new computer, you'll put your DVD in and it should be recognized as a backup. It should ask you if you want to restore from the disc.
This is directly from the iTunes "Help" documents:
To restore backed-up files:
Insert a backup disc.
A dialog appears, asking if you want to restore. To replace files in your iTunes library with files from the disc, select “Overwrite existing files.”
Click Restore and follow the onscreen prompts.

.how do i get my i pod touch music onto my new computer. my old computer is gone?

I want to transfer my i pod touch music to my new computer. My old computer is gone.

Plug it in and sync it.
It will erase everything from the ipod so make sure that you have copied everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one first.

How can I get my old classic iPod library onto a new computer without losing either library? The songs on my iPod are from hundreds of CD's I don't want to re-import

My original iPod has my old CD collection on it, hundreds of them painstakingly imported. Over the years, I have got new iPod, new iPhone, new computer, and run a separate iTunes library. But now I want my old collection on my computer. How can I get this old iPod music converged with my newer music and computer, without having to wipe out a library or lose any music?

Hello jlfromcorona,
Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac. See this article for instructions.

My computer has been stolen - how do i get the data off my phone onto my new computer?

Is there a way to keep the data (music/photos/contacts/apps etc) currently on my iphone 4s.
My home computer which my phone was paired with and had back ups on has been stolen.
I have a new computer now

You can do this with 3rd party software such as Touch Copy (pc or mac) or PhoneView (mac).

My hard drive died, how can I get my pictures back from iPad onto a new library on the hard drive?

Hi there,
I have a Mac Book, and as it's a little older, and was getting full, I moved my iPhoto library onto an external hard drive. This external hard drive was always plugged in, and iPhoto used it as it's store so to speak.
However, the hard drive has died which means I now have no access to any of my photo's.
As I sync both my iPad and iPhone to iphoto in it entirity, at the minute I have ALL my photos on both my iPad and my iPhone.
How can I recover the photo's onto my mac or new hard drive from the ipad or iphone? I don't dare plug either in at the minute as I don't want the Sync to remove the photos.
HELP! Please!
James

How do I get previously purchased songs to upload onto my new computer itunes?

Hi there, my old Windows Desktop crashed and since then my husband purchased a new windows 8 laptop which is awful. Anyways, were trying to get all our music to be in our new itunes and we had almost 700+ songs that we have purchased throughout the years with apple and we cannot get them to show up!
Any suggestions?

Restore them from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud.

I just got a new laptop and want to transfer my music library on my iphone to my computer. I have downloaded itunes and authorized the new computer. When I tried to sync my music it said it would erase my phone and replace it with my new itunes library (nothing in other words)

Transfer your library from your old computer. If that isn't possible then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing!

How can I get my photos from my iPad to my new computer? (iPad and iPhone are my only backups)

My IMac died, we bought a new one . how can I get my photos from my iPad to my new computer? (iPad and iPhone are my only backups)

- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
- Restore the iPOd from that backup.

How do i get my library from my phone to my new computer? I no longer have access to the old computer. When I try to sync it says it will erase everythiong from my phone.

How do I get my library from my phone to my new computer? I no longer have access to the old computer and when I try to sync my music, it says it will erase everything on my phone. My itunes library is not showing up when I sign into the new computer. Its not even showing any downloads.

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Transfer Purchases.
