How do I transfer music from iTouch to Macbook?

I just got a new Macbook Pro because my old one broke down. I want to know if there is a way to transfer the music I have on my iTouch to this new Macbook. I do not need to know how to sync my iTouch to iTunes.

  • How do I transfer music from iBookG4 to MacBook Air?

    How do I transfer music from my old iBookG4 to new MacBook Air?
    I've tried Home Sharing and it also brings across a couple of albums. Help much appreciated!
    Thank you in advance.

    Quick answer 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.  If you have to use a small flash drive to do the moving you can copy the files and folders groups at a time but make sure they all end up in the same folder structure in the end.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
    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.

  • How do I transfer music from iPad to macbook?

    I've previously had all music etc on a PC with iPad, iPhone synced to that.  I want to transfer music from my iPad (as it's got all the CDs I laboriously added to my PC!) to my new macbook but can't find how to?  I did try to transfer directly from PC to macbook using migratoin assistant but it dropped wifi constantly so gave up..

    You can copy iTunes purchased music from a device via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) you will need a third-party program on your Mac to copy them back from a device - there are some listed half-way down this page : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    There are also other methods of copying music between computers : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    If you will be syncing the iPad and iPhone to your Mac then you may also find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How do you transfer music from itouch to computer?

    I usually download music from itunes on my computer and transfer it to my ipod in case i ever need to restore it, but the other day i bought two songs from the itunes app on my ipod touch.  The music downloaded to my i-touch but when i synced it up to my computer, the songs didnt copy to my library.  Is there anything i can do to transfer them?
