  • How do I transfer my itunes library to a new computer from my iPhone. The old one no longer works.

    How do I transfer my itunes library to a new computer from my iPhone. The old computer no longer works.

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • How do I transfer my itunes library to a new computer?

    How do I transfer my itunes library from my old computer to my new computer?  My current computer is crashing and I need to buy a new one.  I have all of the libraries backed up on each of my devices, but I don't think I can simply sync the devices to my new computer's blank itunes' library, correct?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    You need to copy iTunes folder from your old computer to the new one.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library to a new computer?  I have transferred purchased music but wish to transfer the rest of my library.  Home sharing isn't responding and the computers are going to be in different locations.

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one?  I have successfully transferred purchased music but not my library of CDs.  Home sharing will not work, and isn't working in fact, as the computers will be in different countries.

    Assuming your library is in the default location and all of the media is stored within the library's media folder then this is what you need to do:
    Copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target computer.
    You can do this directly over a network (making use of shared network folders) or by making a copy on an external drive, moving the drive between computers, and copying again. Any way that works is good. However if you say that you cannot use Home Sharing (doesn't work properly anyway) because the source and target are not on the same network then method 2 as I describe it won't work either.
    Your playlists, play counts, ratings etc. are stored inside the database iTunes Library.itl which is inside the iTunes folder and a successful migration includes all of this information, not just the media files. I recommend method 1 from the earlier link as it sets you up with a backup mechanism to use in future. All hard drives fail eventually and often without warning, or at least a warning that is noticed and then heeded.
    If the initial assumption is wrong, or you need help checking, just ask.

  • How do I transfer my Itunes Library onto a new computer?

    I feel pretty silly, but I just got a new laptop and want to transfer the music I have purchased. Do I upload from my Ipod? Or do I burn the library off the old computer and upload on the new one. The old operating system was Windows XP, the new one is Windows Vista.

  • How do I transfer my music library to a new computer?

    My old computer died and I got a new one. I got my itunes purchases on my new computer, but I have a lot of other music. The only option I see in itunes is sync which would replace my phones library with the itunes library... which I don't want. I want to replace my itunes library with my phones library without the use of my old computer.

    You mean you never made backups of your old computer? This is the Third Millennium; it just seems incredible to me that anyone who uses a computer doesn't make regular backups of it. Perhaps the suggestion that everyone should be required to have to pass a license test to use a computer isn't such a bad one after all.
    The iPhone is not a backup device; if you have not kept backups of important data you cannot depend on the iPhone to make up for your mistake. However, if you google for "iphone file browser" you might find a solution.

  • How do i transfer my itunes library onto my new computer, when on the old computer I have all the songs saved onto an external hard drive, which I still wish to use?

    At the moment on my old latop I have an external hard drive with all my songs on.  I need to attach the hard drive before the songs will play.  Any new songs are downloaded onto the external hard drive.
    How can I get the same set up on my new laptop?

    When I have held the shift key down & clicked on the iTunes library that was shown on the external hard drive, it has loaded most of the older albums, however there are several albums which have not appeared on iTunes on the new laptop, but if you go into explorer and look at the folders/files on the hard drive, they do appear on the external hard drive.
    I have also noticed my play lists and genres have not shown as they were on the old laptop.
    Is there any way of getting a complete copy of all songs, play lists, etc. so that is does not require to hold files in two difference places, I would prefer if all the files were on the external hard drive, so I do not fill the internal hard drive with songs?

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my MacBook Pro?

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my MacBook Pro?

    Just copy the entire Music folder from the old Mac to the new Mac, then click on the folder and Get Info and change the permisisons and click the spoke to "apply to enclosed items"
    Ideally it's best to use the same user name on the new machine, this way all your iTunes playlists work and there is no need to change permissions.
    You can create the same named user by creating another account in System Preferences >accounts
    If the old computer is a PC then just copy the old Music folder to the Mac onto the desktop, then use iTunes to import the music files.
    If the old comptuer is dead, then you can extract the hard drive(if it's still working) and use a IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable to access the internal drive.
    Mac's should be able to read NTFS format of PC's, just not write to it. But if it's not working there is software to install to allow the Mac to read that NTFS drive format, just search online.
