    How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)?  I just bought an ipod 5th gen and when I plugged it in, it only synced purchases.

    You restore the media to your new computer using the backup you made of your old computer before it died. You did backup your computer, right?

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you don't have one there is the possibility of recovering from the old hard drive even if the system won't start, a link on how to recover your qualifying store purchases, and backup advice for the future.

  • Getting iTunes library onto new computer

    Ok, so about a month ago, my computer died of a broken motherboard. the hard drive did survive, however, and now lives on in an external case. i purchased a new computer, and do not know how to go about getting all of my music onto it. i currently have:
    1) An iPod nano full of my music
    2) my old computer's hard drive, also full of the same music
    3) My new computer, with NO music at all on it
    What would be the best way to get my entire music library into iTunes on my new computer? The iPod or the old computer's hard drive? what would be the easiest way to do it? i do have quite a few songs purchased from iTunes. Thanks in advance.

  • How to download purchased music onto new computer (please)?

    How can I get my purchased music back onto a new computer? Old one crashed, only had some of my music on the ipod. I've followed some posts to get the ipod music back to the computer, but I see songs in itunes purchase history that are not showing up anywhere (that I can see). Is there any way to get these back? I tried the option that iTunes lists for downloading purchased music, but these didn't seem to download. Can anyone help? I'm not real computer savvy so please explain it "for dummies." thanks

    JustMeAndYou,
    For what it's worth ...
    Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups . (For most people, this will involve either CD's/DVD's or an external drive .)
    That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form on this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
    Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • How to get itunes music on new computer

    I got a new computer because the other one that I had was not working (only had it for a week) so they replaced it. I have signed onto itunes with my account, but wanted my music that I had from my other computer to be on this library. I also no longer have the computer that was defected. How do I get the music that was in my library onto this computer?

    Restore it from a backup or its original source; for iTunes Store music, use these instructions to redownload it through the iCloud.

  • Using Senuti to get i-pod onto new computer

    I have successfully downloaded Senuti and found the music from my old i-pod on the new computer but now I have no idea how to get that music actually transferred into i-tunes. I've tried to "copy" all music, I've tried the "transfer" option. I've tried to manually click and drag songs over but no luck! It looked as though some songs had started to transfer but then I started getting error messages saying that "X song" could not be transferred for almost every one of them. What is going on here?

    The usual method is the file/add to library menu in the iTunes tool bar.

  • How to get songs off my iPod?

    ok, I recently had to reformat my PC, and was expecting to be able to get my songs off my iPod, is there any way to do this?

    These links will give you
    i several
    methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists, ratings, counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search if the links below leave you wanting…

  • How to get old purchases on new computer

    I purchased a new PC Win7 based.  Loaded iTunes and now need to know how to load/find all my prior purchases.

    What you can re-download depends partly on what country you are in. As long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes as you originally used to buy/download then, them ibooks and apps can be re-downloaded for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . You should also be able to re-download music and tv shows if you are in the US. Films are a one-time only download.
    If you've still got your old computer then you can copy them over from that : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Otherwise have you got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive or CDs/DVDs that you can copy onto your new computer and then load into its iTunes.

  • How do I get songs to my new computer from iCloud?

    I just got a MacBook Pro and I want to download my songs from iCloud to my laptop. I already authorized my computer and the songs still won't download.

    Launch Disk Utility from your Applications>Utilities folder, select Macintosh HD on the left sidebar, select the First Aid tab at the top, then click Repair Disk Permissions at the bottom.  When it finishes, try downloading your music again.  (You might need to restart your Mac first.)

  • Trouble with transfering old songs/videos onto new computer

    Not long ago my computer got a virus and I needed to reconfigure it and what not. As I finished, I installed itunes and purchased quite a few videos and songs that are now in my library. My question is, how can I transfer the songs and videos on my ipod into my current itunes library without deleting the purchased items already in my library. So that when im done i will have the same songs on my ipod in my library, so then my ipod will be completely sync'd with the library and i will still have the new purchased items too. Thank you in advance for your feedback and support!

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • 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,

  • How to get imovie 06 on new computer?

    Hi there, I have a new mac book pro (snow leopard) and I really like using imovie 06. I want to install as an imovie previous version as I did with previoius computer. . Wasn't  able to and message says I have to install ilife 08. How to do this without stuffing up existing software and losing new imovie etc.

    Happily this is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
    Delete iMovie 9 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks.
    Now re-install iMovie 9. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
    Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.
    Alternatively you could try this method, suggested by poster Uitech:
    Open a terminal and type "touch /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iLife08.plist"
    (No quotes)
    Install iMovieHD6 from the iLife 6 install disk.
    This works with both Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.
