How do i transfer to a new computer without loosing the music from my CDs that arent purchased on itunes?

How do i sync music from my ipod to a new computer without loosing the music i have on it that has not been purchased from itune its from my CDs

The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The ony exception is itunes purchases.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How do you sync w/ a new computer without loosing game data etc.?

    I recently switched from a Windows computer to a Macbook Air, and then.. i tried to sync my iPad with iTunes, and this is what it says:
    I like the order my apps are in on my iPad, and I don't want to risk loosing any of the apps data, all my music, all my videos, and all my photos (But i have my photos saved on a USB drive)
    I already transfered my purchases with File > transfer purchases
    But, is that enough to verify that I won't loose the order of my apps on my device or loose the data?
    Please respond... thx

    I am sorry if I wasn't clear in my earlier post.  I already knew how to transfer purchases.  I had movies that wasn't originally from iTunes on my new computer that I wanted to transfer to my iPad, but then this message popped up:
    It wouldn't transfer with "Transfer purchases".
    I transfered my apps, music, etc. to the new computer already. But I am afraid that I will loose my game data...  I also did home sharing. The iPad is synced with my old computer's library.  Is transfering purchases from the iPad to iTunes enough to ensure me that I won't loose my game data?
    Thank you for responding...

  • How to sync ipod touch to new computer without loosing old songs?

    plzz tell me how to do it??

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPod but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPod with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • My computer was stolen, I had all my music library there. I had it sync with my iPhones. How do I get my song form one of my phones to my computer without loosing them? I have songs not only purchased on iTunes, but also from CD's I've got rid of already

    My computer (Dell, Windows system) was stolen and therefore I lost all my iTunes library (music). I still have my songs on my iPhones, but I'm scare of conecting them with my  new computer (MacBook Air) I bought as all my information including my songs can get deleted! Is there a way to avoid this?

  • My computer crashed - how to transfer to my new system without loosing my music.

    Recently my desktop crashed and I was forced to buy a new system.  My older version nano has a lot of songs that I recorded and do not want to lose.  How do I proceed to get my new system updated with ITunes and transfer my music to my new desktop?

  • How do you sync with a new computer, without wiping the device?

    I recently got an iphone. I installed the software to sync at work. I bought a few apps. Now looking back that was a mistake to install it there. How can I carry over to sync with a newly installed itunes on my PC (Vista) laptop?
    I'm sure others have to deal with this when they even get a new PC at home, or where ever.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Peter,
    I'm no pro, but when we recently synced my wifes' new iPhone at home, we were given an option to either let the phone override the existing computer information or vice-versa (In iTunes, select your iPhone>info tab. advanced). Would it be possible to set your iPhone to override your computer, thus loading everything onto your computer from the iPhone?
    Good Luck!

    How do I update I pad on a new computer without loosing data. Old computer got virus and it's got my I tunes account on it.

    You simply sync the iPad to the new computer. It will tell you that it is already synced with another one though, and will give you the option to erase it or transfer its contents to the new one. An iPad can only be synced with one computer at a time.
    Beware that only your iTunes and App Store purchases will sync. If your iTunes library contained music obtained from other sources, you have to find a way to transfer them directly from your sick computer to the new one.
    I hope your new computer is a Mac, a replacement PC will eventually suffer the same fate.

  • Hi, I lost my computer. How can I sincronize my iphone with the new computer without loose my contacts and apps?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to move everything to the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone:  File>Transfer Purchases
    If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer, then when you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

    How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

    You can't do that with iTunes (except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer songs files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the songs files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library.  Then, you can sync your iPod to that iTunes library, as desired.
