How do i import/download my i tunes music

how do i download/import my itunes music from my i phone (3.1.3) to my new i mac?
it keeps telling me it will delete all music from my i phone and replace it with current i tunes library, which there is no music in the i mac library.
i am sure this can be done, just not wanting to risk loosing all my music.....

The iphone will sync/manually manage to one computer at a time. If you sync/manually manage to another it will erase the music and replace with music from the new computer.
You need to move the music from your old computer to the new one, then sync. you can use your backup copy for this.
The music/video sync/manage is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

  • ITunes help needed.  I downloaded an album and some singles.  Many of the songs cut off.  How can I re-download the damaged tunes?

    I downloaded an album and some singles, then burned them to disc.  Many songs blanked out while playing.  Thought it was a bad disk, but it turns out that they didn't download properly from the iTunes store.  How do I re-download previously purchased items?  I've tried following the general help tips but they haven't worked.
    Thanks,

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • How do i imported downloaded packages ?

    Hi all
    I'm using NetBeans 4.1, and i've downloaded a few packages from the net, but i've no idea how to get them to be imported. I've downloaded them, unzipped, and saved into a directory, and the classes i need to use are on a JAR file.
    i do the import statement as such
    import org.apache.commons.*;
    But when i compile, NetBeans gives me an error that the package is not found and i still can't use the classes, could someone tell me how i could get it to work ? Thanks in advance.

    Hi thank you for your help but how do i go about

  • I have a computer without a CD drive, how do I import my CDs onto my music library?

    I have extra computers that have CD drive's and itunes but I do not own them (like it's a family members but I need the music on my computer). Anyways, I inserted one of my CDs into my brothers computer and tried to copy the songs onto a flash drive, that didn't work. So I know home sharing will allow me to listen on my computer from his library, but I need to actually have the songs in my library. Please help!
    Thanks, RJ

    Home sharing will also allow you to import songs from the other computer. So get your brother to rip the cd then use Home Sharing to import onto your computer. Delete filess from your brothers computer

    Re: how can i transfer music from another library using home sharing? 
    Apr 1, 2012 12:27 AM (in response to brittknee5)
    First, make sure you've got the home share set up on both computers, as per the following document:
    iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
    Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
    Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
    Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
    If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.

  • How do I import a Data CD (with music) into iTunes?

    I am trying to transfer music from Windows iTunes to Mac iTunes. Burned CDRs as Data CDs but I cannot seem to import them into Mac iTunes - help!

    Try using File>Add to Library, navigate to the DVD and click Choose. Make sure that under iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>General you have "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" ticked.

  • How do I import my old iTunes library from an old PC to my mac through an external hard drive?

    Ok, so I actually have multiple libraries (from itouch, nano, ipod) and I want to import the library from my old pc to work on my Mac.
    However, I only want it to work from my external hard drive, I do not want it to take any space in my Mac's SSD .
    The one thing that you have to know though is:
    Although I have some, a lot of my mp3s are not in my itunes media folder. However, the music is in the library itself, the one in XML and ITL format.
    So, I know that had all my music been in the media folder, I could have easily added library and selected that folder, but in this case, I don't think it will work.
    How do I import my library with my music if the media folder does not have all my songs?
    I had exported my library from my old laptop so I just have the library not my songs in mp3 format :/ if this makes sense..

    All your library consists of is a text file telling iTunes which files it should include in its listing.  It doesn't have your music.  Your music is in the files scattered around your computer in your case.  You need to do the long process below, first consolidating, then moving the complete library (= the whole iTunes folder):
    Quick answer (not for you) if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
    2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/  - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not  really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library").  Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

  • Some of the songs I have downloaded onto i tunes won't play when I select it to do so.  The error message I get is "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  How can I get my songs to play?

    Some of the songs I have downloaded into i tunes won't play when I select it to do so.  The error message I get is "The song can not be used because the original file can not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  When I select yes I'm sent to a screen that has my i tunes library listed.  When I select the song in question I'm asked if I would like to open the song.  When I select this option I get nothing.  The songs I have downloaded must be somewhere because they are listed in my i tunes library and on the screen I've been sent to.  I can't the songs to play however.  This is not true of all of my songs but it is true of quite a few of them.  Actually, one song is too many.    How do I get my music to play that seems to be locked up somewhere in the computer?

    Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.

    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
    Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

  • How do i find new downloads from i tunes in my video app in this os7

    How do i find new downloads from i tunes in my video app in this os7. All purchsed items are there, what a
    mess???

    Leonard,
    I used the sample code from StamperUI.cpp as a starting point. I have tried 'LoadBitmap', 'LoadCursor' and 'LoadIcon' and none of these seam to work for me.
    As I stated before, I used Visual Studio to create the icons in the resource file, so I would think that they would be recognized by the application.
    Thanks,
