How to copy uploaded songs into iTunes on new computer

I recently got a new computer and want to put all my songs from my iPod onto iTunes. I have a Toshiba Satellite notebook with Windows Vista Premium. The iPod is a 160 GB and I have the newest iTunes. Any help would be appreciated - I've been at this for hours!

I use an excellent free application called Sharepod, http://www.getsharepod.com/about/ which will transfer all your music from your iPod to your PC, then you import this into iTunes. Just use the Backup iPod mode in Sharepod, and make sure it is pointing to the right destination folder. Test one track or album before you transfer everything.
After this is complete add all the transferred music to iTunes. If you use Automatic be careful because syncing this will then erase everything on your iPod and transfer it back again from your PC! If you manually sync no problem.
Be careful as an automatic sync to your new iPod will wipe it clean! BEFORE you connect your new iPod to iTunes go to iTunes and change this option to prevent this:
+Edit-Preferences-Devices-Uncheck "Disable automatic syncing..."+
Your other music that is on cd's, just copy them into your My Music folder and then add them to iTunes.
Good luck!

How to get old songs on itunes on new computer?

I backed up my itunes before, but not after some of the music/artwork/etc was added. My old computer fried and I managed to recover some of the old music on the new one. However, some of the songs are not the versions that I have now and there are some songs that I deleted soon after starting up itunes that are back. Along with that, some songs that I didn't buy or get from a CD are gone. If I plug in my ipod to the computer and sync it, will the songs that I have on my ipod now (that I would prefer be what is on my computer) be erased from the ipod? Or will it replace the stuff in itunes with what is on my ipod?
If theres a process I can go through to get this stuff back to the way it was on my old computer, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone explained it to me. If the only way to get everything back right would be to go back and redownload everything seperately, please let me know because it would be a pain to have to go through the downloading and redownloading of multiple songs.

If you failed to maintain a backup copy, then you would have to import the disks again.

How do I transfer song ratings to a new computer

How do I transfer song ratings to a new computer. I backed up my library and resorted it on the new computer. All of my playlists came over but the song ratings did not. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Every iTunes library must include the .itl file. Depending on how you've configured Windows Explorer, it may be listed as "iTunes Library" without the .itl extension. Check the iTunes folder on your old computer (default location C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes) - you should see something like this:
or this (if file extensions are being displayed):
Otherwise search your old computer for *.itl.

Copy IPOD Contents TO Itunes on New Computer

Is there a way of copying my ipod music to a new computer versus haveing a blank itunes that then erases the ipod contents on syncing??? Thanks
JRklein

Ok, here is a little trick i learned. All you have to do is add folder (if on windows) or just files (not files on windows).
First you want to plug in your ipod while having iTunes open.
Second deny and attempt for iTunes to add the current library onto the pluged-in iPod.
Third, go to the preferences and go to advanced, and check the box that says: "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library"
Fourth: Amke sure the iPod is enabled as disk use, and then add the ipod folder, yes the whole thing to your library.
Fifth, the files hsould now appear in you library, and you can disconnect your iPod because the file were copied to you itumes Music folder.
sixth, disconnect the ipod and attempt to play the songs. If you can't retry.
Who said Apple doesn't let you take songs off the iPod.

How do I load songs into iTunes match in chunks?

I have just bought iTunes Match and now want to load my entire music catalogue to iCloud. I have approximately 19.000 music-titles all stored on a NAS-server. They´re all playable from iTunes on my Mac (running Maverick OS X).
I've tried transferring the songs four times, and every times iTunes stops transferring when it reaches 800/900 songs. There' s no way to pause, continue from last transfer or even transfer the songs to iCloud in chunks (Titles with A, then titles with B etc.).
How do I
- transfer in chunks?
- select the songs to be transferrede, and continue with other songs when they´re finished?
- start from last transfer, when iTunes suddenly stops transferring?
If none of the above is possible; how do I secure that iTunes Match will NOT suddenly stop transferring?
I hope somebody can help me.
Thanks,
Jan

While you seem to have sorted out your problem, here is a hint for those who have not yet suceeded. I have had the same issue, and googling for it reveals that several other people have the same problem. Basically, it seems that uploading many songs (i.e., when there are no matching songs in Apple's gigantic music repository) for some users will "saturate" the user's uplink capacity, causing time out issues with the iTunes server. Whether you should blame your home gateway, your ISP, or even Apple I don't know. Regardless, the solution is to temporary limit the bandwidth of your uplink. Depending on your set-up, you can accomplish this by fiddling with the QoS settings of your gateway/router, or download a program that does this for the computer that uploads the songs. I will not repeat here how to do this, but see

How to import multiple songs into iTunes

Hello there...
I am fairly new to iTunes and am becoming frustrated with this particular issue. Prior to using iTunes, I used Kazaa, where whenever a song was added to My Shared Folder, Kazaa would update the library instantly. I want to have the same sort of thing with iTunes. For example, one of my friends filled my USB drive with music today. When I came home and plugged it into my computer, I dragged and dropped all the songs into my iTunes Music folder. I expected them to appear in the library, but they're not there. I don't know how to add them all to iTunes without importing them one by one. I suppose in this case I could import my entire USB drive folder, but what if someone sends me a handful of songs as an email attachment or over MSN? How do I import those?
Thank you!

iTunes for windows doesn't "Watch" folders and files for changes like other programs. You need to goto File>add folder to library so it will "Piont" iTunes to where the music is located on the system.

How to add duplicate songs into iTunes?

Contrary to what many people want to do, I wish to add duplicate files into my iTunes library. I am in the middle of adding a new set including the B-side songs that were originally left out of the release of an album.
All of the songs are already in the library (including the B-sides, imported individually), however I wish to import the copies I have purposely made. I don't want to create a new playlist or anything like that.
As I understand, with iTunes 7, it does not import duplicate songs (or what iTunes thinks are duplicates - they are recorded from a different source; vinyl, not CD). It does not even give me a warning or anything at all, it just does nothing when I select the folder or individual files.
How can I force-add dupes into iTunes on Windows? As I understand, on Mac you can add dupes by holding down the option key.

Hi, William.
Do the two different files have the same name?
If so, could you use Windows Explorer to rename the file itself so that, for example, if one is 07 The Reckoning.m4a the other is 07 The Reckoning Vinyl.m4a.
You should be able to add the renamed file to your iTunes Library - with or without then changing any of the tag information that iTunes itself displays.

How to copy existing apps into iTunes lib.??

Hi
I have recently added a 256GB SSD disc to my aging mac (MBP mid 2010) to increase its lifespan. And I have taken the preinstalled 500GB HDD and transferred to the optical bay. My Itunes library, was also transferred to an external HD to safe disc space. So far so good.
Here's my problem:
My wife's iPhone 5 has a terrible battery life. After trying all tips/tricks from various posts we decided to back up her phone, and via Itunes to erease all contend and start over. I can read that this has helped other Iphone user with bad battery life. Mind you, the her battery issue just started some months ago - before that there was no issue....
So, after doing the safety copy via itunes and ereaseing everything and doing the reset of the device, we loaded the safety copy from Itunes again - but now she is missing 132 apps!!
I found must of the apps on the old 500GB HDD, and have copied them to the itunes lib on the external HD. But Itunes is not recognising any of these, and will not install them on the iPhone...
The copied apps shows up in itunes - but the icon is showed in grey only. The icon graphics is not showing. The name of the app is showed correctly.
Oh, and her battery life, still *****....
Any ideas??
