How do I get my new Mac to show all itunes music that shows up on my PC?

My PC shows some 600 songs when I plug in my ipod, however when I plug in the ipod to my new mac, itunes shows only the 70 songs that I purchased--not the ones that I put on the ipod from old CD's etc.--many of which are no longer available to download. Obviously, I need all 600 songs to show on itunes in order to create playlists, delete songs, etc. Apple says that ONLY reinstalling all songs will work. Any other suggestions?

You will need a program such as Senuti or PodWorks to transfer the other tunes back to the Mac.
The iPod is one way affair except for purchase tunes/video.

    Doggiemommie,
    Copying files is not a good idea.
    The "other Mac" was backed up onto Time Capsule using the Time Machine. On your new Mac you should restore the old user - rather than copy files manually.
    This usually happens during the initial setup of the new computer or you can do it later using Migration Assistant.
    Please note, it is possible to damage backup file on the Time Capsule when you browse it and copy files manually.
    Hope this explains.

All of that stuff is still on my iPhone 4, but how do I get it all onto my iMac again? I have CD's on my phone that i no longer have the physical copies of so i can't just re-download them all, plus it would take forever! I just want to know if there is a way to get all of what is still on my phone, back over to my iMac with it's new drive and restore my full iTunes library to the iMac with playlists, CD downloaded music, and my iTunes bought stuff, so i can go back to synching the 2 devices without losing everything that's on my phone that used to be on both devices?

    I am getting a new computer and I know I can transfer my music on my old computer to my new one with a hard drive but me and brother currently share an account and I would like my own, once I get a new computer can I make a new account on my new itunes and still be able to keep my old music and be able to sync it and play it etc?? Anyone with information on this would be muchly appreciated!!! Thank you in advance! Oh and I currently have a windows but will be getting a mac book pro most likely

    The music sync is one one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer?

  • How do I get my new mac to auto cap the the first letter in a sentence?

    can some tell me how to get my new mac to auto capitalise the first letter of each sentence?

    Quick answer, Pages 5.0 no longer does this. Frustrating! If you have Pages 4.3, it can do it.
    Also, check out the More Like This column on the right. Some people have the same question and you might find some good tips there.

  • How do I get the new iPod to work with iTunes

    I recently purchased a new iPod--I think it's the "Shuffle," whichever one retails for $150. When I plugged it into my iMac, it said I needed to install iTunes 10 to run it. When I checked for updates, it said that iTunes 9.xyz (whatever came after the 9) was the latest version.
    How do I get this new iPod to work. As you can tell, I am not much of a gadget junkie, and I'm a bit of a technology incompetent, which is why I purchased the Mac to begin with. I have an iMac, have no idea what operating system I am using--whatever came with it when I purchased it in November, 2008.
    TIA!

    Okay, I just looked and I do have 10.411. How do I upgrade to get the new iPod to work, and how much does the new operating system cost?

  • How can I get my new phone to sync with iTunes

    My husband got a new iPhone and we share a computer, we figured out how to create a new library but the new library does not recognize the phone in order to sync it.  How can we get the new library to sync with his phone?

    Thanks for you suggestion roaminggnome. I tried typing in 13019 like you said and it gave me a few options to try and fix it but none of them worked (of course). I fiddled around with it for a while some more on my own and some how got it to work again, lol. Thanks again though for offering a solution.

  • How can I get my new Mac book Pro to read my external hard drive?

    I have recently upgraded to the new MacBook Pro and have a new 2T external hard drive. I used my old MacBook Pro to transfer all my files from my old 1T hard drive of the same make to the new one. This all worked without isssue and I can open the ne external hard drive on my old Mac but my new Mac is reading it. It does not show up in finder at all but it does show up in Disk Utility. Any suggestions? Do I need to do something on my new Mac for it to be read? The new Mac has no problem with the smaller USBs I use.

    How do you have Finder Preferences set?

  • I have a new apple ID how do I get my new purchases to my normal itunes library

    So I have a ipad and an ipod nano. I have always downloaded music on my ipad then synced my ipod to my pc. But i had to get and new apple ID. So when I got to sync my ipod. It does it with my old account. Ive tried deleting itunes and redownloading it but that didnt work. I need to some how completly reset itunes on my pc or somehow change my id on there. But i cant find a way to do it. Please help.
    Thanks.

    I'm not quite sure what is going on or what you need to accomplish. If it's asking you to authorize your computer, you'll need to do that with both your new Apple ID and your old one. Until you do, you will not be able to sync purchases from your iPad. You authorize the computer via the Store menu in iTunes. If you have iTunes 11, which for some unfathomable reason hides the menus by default, press Control-B and you'll then see the menus.
    If that doesn't address your situation, please post back and clarify.
    Regards.

  • How do I point my new Mac at my external iTunes Library?

    Okay it's not really a new Mac, it's a replaced hard drive in my old iMac, but I'm setting it up as new to keep it as trim as possible. Pre-replacement I had my iTunes Media library set up on an external hard drive; the iTunes folder and it's inhabitants (Extras, Genius, Library.itl, etc) all resided on the iMac in the Music folder, but I'd moved the Media over to the external drive.
    So...
    What's the method for telling my 'new' copy of iTunes that I already have a media library, and it's 'over there' on the external drive? I know iTunes can be funny about this sort of thing so I don't want to get it wrong! I considered changing the location using the Preferences, but I wasn't sure if that was going to wipe out anything.
    Also, given that I do have a complete backup of the original iMac drive (I just don't want to clone it back to the new one, junk and all), is there any way of doing this in such a way that I can preserve the playlists, play counts, etc? Can I copy over old preferences or library files? Not that bothered if I can't, but would be nice.

    I think I just solved my own problem. I simply copied over the Library.itl file from my backup and replaced the same file that my fresh iTunes library had created. Opened iTunes, everything popped up
