How do I get MY itunes library on a home computer with itunes already installed?

I bought a new ipad and I wanted to sync it at hoe on our home computer (computer everyone used in the home).  I downloaded itunes and put in my I.D. and password and when itunes opened all my son's albums and content were mixed with mine.  How do I seperate our content?  I dont want all of his stuff on my ipad. I uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it but the content is still mixed, what can I do?

    How do I get my iPad to remember my home network? I already switched on the "automatically join known networks"

    turn off all of the ipads, (not put them to sleep but turn them off) then unplug your Wi-Fi router for 2 mins. Plug it back in and when all the lights are (green or blue, depends on who makes the router) turn on one ipad and then connect it, wait 3 mins and turn on the other and connect it, do this for each iPad and it should fix the problem.

    Of course you do because you're no longer on the same network.

    How do I get my library of music to a new computer? I authorized the new computer but nothing is going to the new computer Please help

    your library won't magically appear on the new machine.
    this is one option:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    however, the music feature is currently available in the US only.
    if you have your library on an iPod, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    you can also remove the HDD from the crashed computer, put it in an external enclosure, and try to retrieve your library from it.
    of course, the easiest way would be to restore from your latest backup. if you don't have one, start backing up once you're up and running. get an external HD and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) to it. use e.g. SyncToy to keep both folders in sync.
    SyncToy
    SyncToy 2.1 is a free application that synchronizes files and folders between locations. Typical uses include sharing files, such as photos, with other computers and creating backup copies of files and folders.

  • Computer crashed, how do I get my Ipod songs onto a new computer with itune

    Please help. My computer died and I lost everything on it. I have a new computer and have downloaded a new itunes 7.0
    How do I get my songs off my Ipod to my new computer and then to the new itunes

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    CopyPod Windows Only
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to your new computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

    Did you restore your old iTunes library to the new machine from the backup of your old machine? It doesn't just magically come back on its own.
    ...how can i get it to transfer everything on my iphone into the new library.
    This question is asked several times a day. Please use the search function at the top of the page or see "More Like This" to the right. ==============================================>
    The iPhone is NOT a backup device.

  • How do I get my old library onto my new computer, ELI5 edition.

    Well, my old laptop melted into a pile of slag, so I built a new computer, but every time I try plugging my Ipod in it tries to delete all the music I have on there. I've tried following the 'instructions' on the support page, but can't make head nor tail of what exactly it is they want me to do, and the only bits that do make sense all involve actually having access to your old computer and the files therein. I do not have that luxury. Thanks in advance for any help and remember, please, ELI5.

    Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
    If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't.  You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.

    I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

    They can't.  Which came first - the chicken or the egg?  Actually, that's a bad comparison but a sync must come first.
    The library is actually part of iTunes and it contains everything.  iTunes is then configured so that you (or they) determine which portion of everything will be synced to each iPod (identified by a unique name, see below for an example of an iPod and an iPad).  iTunes can't make that decision until AFTER it knows which iPods exist.
    By the way, I (you, they) can very easily change the name of each device to whatever I (you, they) wish to call it.

    How do I get my iTunes library to show the same playlist order and songs order as what is on my iPhone 4s.

    Drag it to an external drive or directly to the other computer, and if needed, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and choose that library. If it contains rented movies, those won't play on the desktop Mac.
