How do I get my music and playlists from iphone to newly authorised computer (some songs are missing)

I have authorised a new comuter
when I plug in my iphone, not all the songs in the iphone show up in the music library on the computer - nor my playlists
How do I get all my songs and playlists from my iphone to my newly authorised computer?

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only ex eption is itunes purchases: File>Deviecs>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer or your backup cop of your old computer.

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Keep in mind that the recovered photos will not be in their full resolution, but instead will be the scaled down versions that were optimized in size and resolution to fit your iPod's smaller LCD screen.

How do I restore my music and playlists from my iPod 4g to my iPod 5g?

I did a "full" backup to my computer of my old iPod, and restored my new iPod from that backup, but my music is completely empty and I don't want to manually put all my music and playlists back together. Help???

FIrst transfer the music from your old iPod to your iTunes by simply syncing it! After that,
How about syncing your new iPod with the 'Sync Music' box checkmarked ?

How can i get the music ive copied from cd onto my new computer

how can i get the music that i have copied from cd's on to my new computer.(the computer my phone was sync to blew up) if i sync to the newit i will all the music thats on my phone,

Restore from the backup of your old computer. Copy it from the CDs.
Look for a 3rd party app that can do what you want. Senuti has been
mentioned in the past - I do not use it so cannot comment on how
well it works. I would assume there are others as well.
iOS does not natively support syncing music back from the iPhone
to a computer.

I have an iTunes account with my iPhone 3GS. Today I upgraded to the iPhone 4. When I plugged the iPhone 4 in to get my music iTunes created a new device. How do I get the music and photos from the other device?

I would like to delete the new device and just sync the iPhone 4 with all the info that was on the 3GS.

You can get the photos by importing them from your 3GS to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and then syncing them back to your iPhone 4. Your music should already be in your iTunes library if you have been syncing the 3GS with your computer so all you would need to do is select to Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your iPhone 4 to transfer it to you new phone. But there is no way for iTunes to see your iPhone 4 as your iPhone 3GS; it will see it as a different device no matter what you do.

HT201269 how do i get my music and games from my iPod to my iPad mini?

I want to learn how to transfer my games and music from my 32 gb iPod to 32 gb iPad.

You can copy iTunes purchases from your iPod to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) - if you have music from other sources (e.g. CDs) on your iPod which isn't on your computer nor on a backup then you will need to find a third-party program for your computer which can copy them off (some programs are listed half-way down this page).
You can then take a backup of the iPod and restore that backup onto the iPad (as described on the Using iTunes section of the page that you posted from) and it should copy all of your iPod's content over - a backup doesn't contain music or the actual apps (just their content and settings) which is why you need to do the above 'transfer purchases' so that the restore can copy them onto the iPad.

How do I get my apps and pics from iPhone to iPad?

How do I sync my photos and music from my I phone to my iPad? I have sync'd on iTunes but can't figure out how to get iTunes to recognize what I have purchased already.

Here is a possible solution: When you sync your iPad, highlight your iPad in the left column of itunes and you should see a set of tabs for your iPad. Check the tabs for apps, music, and photos and make sure the items you want on the iPad are set to sync. When you have them set, click the "apply" button in the lower right corner of itunes.

My old windows computer died, how do I get my music off of my iphone to my new computer

The hard drive in my old computer is totally fried, and my iphone is the only place my music is backed up. Is there a way to get my music from my iphone to my new computer?

Here is a great program I used to use called TouchCopy,
not only does it copy music, it copies videos, messages, books so on and so forth,
It does cost but if you just need it this one time to put your music back you can download the trial version for Windows! Here is the link:

Move itunes music and playlists from one disk to another on same mac pro

I was running Maverick 10.9.1 on my early 08 Mac Pro. I was having significant problems with the system locking up and having to shut it down manually. After discussing the problem with an Apple Support Rep, I executed a clean installed of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a new HDD. I need to move my itunes library from the old Maverick HD to the new Snow Leopard HD. My Time Machine is corrupted for the old drive. How can I move my music and playlists from itunes on the old drive Maverick to the new Snow Leopard drive? I will also need to move my address book contacts. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks. This solved the iTunes problem. Any suggestion as to how I cam move or copy my address book to the new HD? I can't find the location of the address book files on the old HD.

Itunes updated and it deleted all my playlist and half my music along with it. Now if I want to sync my phone it tells me in order to sync it has to delete more stuff off my phone. I would like to get my music and playlists back, how do I do that?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

How Can I Get My Ratings and Playlists to Mirror Across Multiple Accounts?

I'm sharing my music across two accounts on my Mac by placing my iTunes folder in the Shared folder, with an alias to that in each User's Music folder. It works fine, but the User of the other account would like the benefit of all my Playlists, and would especially like to have all My Ratings.
How can I get My Ratings and Playlists to mirror across multiple accounts? I would've thought simply importing the <iTunes Music Library.xml> file would do it, but since we're both using the same iTunes folder, we must already be using the same XML file, right?

The answer about where the ratings, etc. are stored is not an easy one, but the best I can figure is that it is a combination of the iTunes Music Library.xml, the iTunes Library file, and the com.apple.iTunes.plist. Apparently, the com.apple.iTunes.plist (in the under User/Library/Preferences) references the other two files. If you close iTunes, take the com.apple.iTunes.plist out of the user's Library/Preferences folder and then reopen iTunes, you will see that all the ratings, play counts, etc. (track information) will have disappeared. If you close iTunes, replace the com.apple.iTunes.plist, then reopen iTunes, the track information will be restored. The playlists, which are not part of the track information, seem to function independently of the com.apple.iTunes.plist, but if you share the whole iTunes folder across accounts, this should include the playlists. When I back up my iTunes library to another folder, I back up a copy of the current com.apple.iTunes.plist from my User/Library/Preference folder. I think that the way this works across multiple accounts is that the com.apple.iTunes.plist reads track information from the other files in the iTunes folder, because if you throw away the com.apple.iTunes.plist from one user account, it affects all the other user accounts sharing the same iTunes folder.

iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.
