How to get old iTunes onto new laptop???

My original laptop which has my iPod 4 and iPhone 4 linked to it has now died a death and so new laptop has now been brought (after a drama with a iPad) and now I am struggling to get my iTunes (with everything on) onto my new Laptop. How do I get my iTunes back so that I can link my products to the new laptop?

Hi fionafromharrow,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If the content in your iTunes library was all purchased or downloaded from iTunes, you can download those items again for free as long as they are still available in the iTunes Store. Please use the attached article as a guide for downloading your past purchases.
Download past purchases
Have a great day,

  • Can i get old itunes on new iphone if they have different apple ids?

    i have had itunes on the computer that is connected to 2 different ipods for several years.  i recently got a new iphone 4s and cannot figure out how to get the itunes library from my computer onto the new phone.  is that possible to do if they have 2 different apple ids?

    Yes but if you bought the music on both different id's then they are tied to those id's only.

  • New PC - How do I get old songs onto new computer?

    I recently had my laptop stolen ALONG with my external hard drive with all my backups. How can I get my OLD tunes into the NEW laptop? Can I hook up my iTouch and make the songs go from the iTouch TO the new laptop?
    Any suggestions would be great! I have seen programs I can purchase but figure there has to be a simpler way.
    THANKS!!

    itunes purchases can be transferred using itunes.
    anything else will need third party software downloaded. google 'ipod to pc/mac'

  • Itunes won't sync old Itunes onto new computer.

    I just got a new computer and installed Itunes and signed in. My library had nothing there. I authorized the computer, and deauthorized my old computer. I plugged my ipod into my new computer, and it recognized it,  but didn't update my empty library. I clicked on "On This Ipod" and all my music from my old library was there. I looked at the summary of syncing at the music section, and it will empty my ipod completely and put my empty library on my ipod, and I do not want that. My question is, how do I get my old library onto my new computer?

    when I click my iphone, everything is blank.
    Do you mean there's no text in the summary pages?

  • Getting old data onto new hard drive

    I've backed up my current hard drive and I will be replacing it with a new one tonight. My question is once I do this, do I just plug in my external drive with the back up and then...? How do I get my old data onto the new hard drive? Thanks!

    How did you back it up, Surfer?
    If you "cloned" the existing internal to the external, using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner, then you simply boot from the external drive, use Disc Utility to make sure that the new drive is formatted using the GUID partition scheme and HFS(extended) file system (and reformat it if it is not), and then clone back to the internal.
    If you backed up using Time Machine or Disk Utility, then it will depend on what you chose to back up, but you may be best off re-installing the OS from your OS DVDs and then "migrating" the material from the drive (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 for some general information and links to other relevant material).
    If you simply backed up data by dragging it across to the other drive then you will need to re-install the OS and applications from the original discs, set up a user account and then drag things back to the appropriate locations.
    In all cases you should make sure that the drive is partitioned with the GUID partition scheme, and formatted as HFS(extended) first, though.
    Cheers

  • Can't download iTunes onto new laptop

    I have just bought a new laptop & have been trying to install iTunes without any success. Every time I try, the install process gets as far as 21% or 15MB and stops. It just doesn't go any further. I have iTunes on my desktop & have never had any problems, although, saying that, my desktop runs on XP - my laptop is Vista. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I NEED to have it on both!!! BTW, I have tried disabling my firewall, just while it installs, but this doesn't help.

    To save messing around, how about downloading the latest iTunes on your desktop, then copying it across to you laptop via a memory stick or network connection?

    Make sure you select save when downloading.

  • Trouble downloading itunes onto new laptop

    Hi guys, I've been trying to download iTunes onto a new HP Pavillion g6 notebook with Windows 7 Home premium.
    It never seems to work and the main dialog box I get says
    Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    Also another dialog box says
    Apple Application Support was not found. Error 2 (Windows error 2)
    I'm wondering what I need to do now?
    Thank you for any help

    Where do you typically find the library.xml file? I cannot seem to find it on my old hard drive. I have looked under iTunes. If you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

  • HT1589 How to keep old music onto new itunes

    I brought a new computer (Windows), downloaded itunes, and now I have no songs on this itunes. How do i sync my songs that are in my iphone onto the itunes without losing my old songs? When i try syncing it states that it will erase all my content on my iphone and sync it to my new itunes.
    Help?

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.  the sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How to get old itunes library into new computer

    imported my itunes folder into my new computer's users music folder via firewire. i had already pulled over itunes music folder. why don't any songs show up in itunes? if i go through the finder i can drill down to the individual track to play. and i can go to itunes > file > library > import and add each song, one at a time. not happening.
    i can't find a thread with a clear instruction on this on the forum either.
    what am i missing?

    okay, i found my problem. i had not changed the name of Itunes folder on the new comp so the transferred folder was called Itunes Music.
    That was not the problem. Don't rename the iTunes music folder.
    The iTunes music folder is inside the iTunes folder.
    The /Music/iTunes/ folder is the entire library.
    You need to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from the old computer.
