How do i get my music from icloud to my itunes library

how do i get my music from icloud to my itunes library

Download it in iTunes from your purchased list, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
If the music is on your phone, another option is to authorize your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in iTunes, Store>Authorize This Computer), then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

My previous computer with XP crashed. The new computer is running Windows7 and has a new C: drive. When I installed Firefox on the new C:, I didn't get the old book marks with the install. Where do I find my old bookmarks? Thank you.

How do i get my music from my iphone, onto itunes? Plz help

Hi, I have had my Iphone for two years now, but only got my macbook some months ago. Before i got my computer, i bought my music over the app itunes on my Iphone. My phone is broken so I'm sending it to reparation very soon, and they say i should have a backup for everything. I do have a backup for everything, except for my music. I have tried several tired synchronizing my phone on my mac (the automatic way), but it still wont come on my itunes. So, the music is on my phone, but not on my macbook. I almost clicked "Sync music" on itunes (macbook), but it would delete every bit of music or tunes i had. So of course, i did not do that.
So my quiestion is: How do i get my music onto my computer, so i can get a backup??? Plz answer asap, because I have to send my phone soon.
Thanks

How do i get my music from media shout to itunes

how do i get my music from my media shout library into itunes

Purchased from iTunes or acquired from somewhere else.
For purchases make sure you authorize your computer in iTunes and go to File > Transfer Purchases.
For other songs you will need 3rd party software. Which one depends on what type of computer you have.
Easiest way to put your music is to use your backup from your old computer and restore it on the new one.

How do you get your music to come up on another computer

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

I have all my music on my ipod but I can't get that music onto my new laptop , how do I do that?

At a guess you followed the process in HT1364 - iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder which would have moved the media folder to a new path of your choice. This process leaves the library database files back in the original location of <User's Music>\iTunes. Often people assume that all they need is now on the external drive and wipe the internal drive, or discard their old computer, before backing up the all important iTunes folder. If you have a backup of your user's profile folder from before the upgrade the iTunes library folder should be in there somewhere. Restore it to <User's Music> and your original library should pop back into existence. The external drive would need to have the same drive letter that it had previously.
A more effective way to relocate the library is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive, then hold down shift when starting iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would then choose the file iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder on the external drive. If this is the way you moved the library before then that is how you should now reconnect to it. Changing the media folder in preferences doesn't change which .itl database file is opened, nor does double-clicking on an .itl file directly.
If you no longer have the original .itl file then you will have to build a new library and import the media to it. If you need to do this I would recommend you create a new library at F:\iTunes, then move your existing media folders inside F:\iTunes\iTunes Media before importing. This will avoid the creation of duplicates and make sure the library is in the correct shape going forwards.
If you have an iPod or iOS device my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover ratings, play counts & playlists from the device.
When you've fixed up your libray you should consider getting a second external drive to backup to.

Thanks Michael! I had to deauthorize my iMac b/c I says I have 5 computers authorized on my account already. I don't even have 5 computers. Are my iphone and Apple TV counted in the 5? And if there are old computers that are still authorized, how do I get them off of my 5?
Thanks

How do I get my music files to imported to itunes

I recently bought the latest iMac and used the Migration Assistant to import all my music from my old computer. I can see on the iMac where my music files are but iTunes won't import them. No clue what's going on right now.

How did you Migrate? On original Startup, or after starting up and creating a user.
If the latter, then you migrated data is in the migrated user's account.
If that is the case, log into the other account and move the music into the /Users/Shared folder. Then, log into the account you want to use and import the music into iTunes.
If that is not the case, please explain where your music is located.
