    My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this address  as it got hacked.  How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address?  In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address,  I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.'   Advice please!

    Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.

    I have a windows 7 computer.

    Put the hard drive from your old computer in an external drive bay and extract the library from it, or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    Thanks!

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer.
    If for some odd reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:
    File>transfer Purchases
    In the U.S you can use the newly released icloud, beta version, to get itunes purchases.  open itunes store, click Purchased under Quick Links

  • How to move an old iTunes folder into a new user account?

    Hi there, so I have a 98Gb iTunes library and it was sitting on an older version of an iMac (2006 OSX 10.6.8  iTunes 11.4).  Realised it would be cumbersome to transfer to my newer iMac (2014 - OSX 10.9.5 iTunes 12.1.2.27) so I used the migration assistant to transfer everything across.  Only problem  is now I have 2 user accounts for myself on the new iMac and all I want to do is consolidate my iTunes library into one, but am struggling to move the iTunes folder directly into the newer user account on the new iMac.  I keep getting a "you do not have permission to move this".  I've tried both passwords to each account but still it won't move the folder.  Any suggestions or directions would be greatly appreciated.

    Read the original post. The user used Migration Assistant to copy files from an old computer to a new one. This creates a new computer account with the old content. The user then had two accounts on the new computer with content the user wished to merge.

  • How do i move my ipod songs into a new library?

    well my computer got turned off and it lost my itunes songs now if i want to put more songs i will have to delete my old ones and i dont want to does anyone have a solution to my problem?

    First, look in your music folder for your songs. If they are in the folder then just readd them to iTunes via File>Add file/folder to library.
    If you want to repopulate iTunes using the songs on the iPod then use 3rd party software to do this:
    -YamiPod is free to use.
    See this thread and option #8.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have to transfer the iTunes library.
    1. On your old PC, open Music folder and copy "iTunes" folder to an external disk.
    2. Connect that external disk to your new PC and copy "iTunes" folder to Music folder.
    3. Open iTunes and all the data will be there

  • New Pc: how can I transfer my Itune library into a new pc?

    Hi,I will shortly be replacing my pc with a new one and I have a little dilemma:
    1 = what do I need to do once I have a new PC up & running? If i just download Itunes will all my exsisting Libriray still be there?
    2 = Also I have purchased some videos, How can I save them on external drive or cds?
    anyone can advice would be highly appreciated.
    many thanks

    *1 = what do I need to do once I have a new PC up & running? If i just download Itunes will all my exsisting Libriray still be there?*
    You'll have to move your music and library from the old computer. The iTunes library is a database that links to the songs on your hard drive, neither the library files or the songs will get to your new computer just by installing iTunes.
    *2 = Also I have purchased some videos, How can I save them on external drive or cds?*
    Have a look at this article: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your new computer is to network it with the old one and copy your iTunes folder across. This works fine if you have been using iTunes to completely manage your music and all your songs are in iTunes Music not in different folders. You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the old computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the new computer. If the songs in your library are not all in the iTunes Music folder you can consolidate them. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\. Everything has to be exactly the same on the new computer including the Windows user account name. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
    If you have an iPod it can be used as an external drive and you can move the iTunes folder onto it: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    Don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play your iTunes purchases. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • HT4527 How can I move my iTunes library to my new laptop?

    My old computer crashed, and all that's left of it is the hardrive. I didn't get to deactivate the iTunes account on the old pc, and I don't have a backup of the library.  All I have is my nano which has some songs from library, but not all.  Please tell me I have options to recover my library...

    You may well be able to recover your library and media from your old drive if you place it in an external drive bay and connect it to your new computer. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Does anyone know how can i transfer non-purchased content into itunes? Thanks for the help

    Unless you're able to restore them from the hard drive, you'll need to either do so from a backup or reload them from the original source.
