How to get songs onto new PC

Alright, my old PC completely crashed, with my iTunes and everything on it. I've got my iPod mini now (with my Mac) but the problem is I have no clue how to get all my songs from my iPod onto my computer. I don't want to have to load all of the songs from my CDs and rebuy them from Apple again... and I don't know if I'll be able to access my old PC again. Is there anyway to get my iPod mini songs onto the Mac?

  • My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..

    My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
    So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
    I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
    Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
    I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
    Kind Regards

  • Computer destroyed .. how to get purchases onto new computer

    I'm pretty much computer illiterate except for surfing the internet and using Word.
    I purchased several songs from itunes onto a computer which was destroyed (fire). I have a new computer (Latitude with Windows XP) and although I see all my old purchases listed when i look up my account, I don't know how to get them onto my new computer.
    Can someone help me? Thanks.

    Click here and fill out the form to ask for a free redownload; if your request isn't granted, you need to purchase the songs again to get them back.
    Apple pays the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts and album artwork.

  • Lost music I added to iTunes when I did current update. It is on my iPad, but do not know how to get it onto new Mac.

    This is the second time I have updated to a newer version of Itunes and when complete the only music i have access to is the purchased music.I loaded several hundred songs to my former computer. It got wet and I lost entire hard drive, nothing was recoverable. Fortunately i have all music and pictures on my IPad, do not know how to get music I did not purchase from Itunes  onto Itunes on my new Mac. This is my second MAc in less than 3 years due to my accident.

    You only get one download of rentals (in the US you can re-download some films, but I'm not sure whether that applies to rentals). If the film is on yoru computer's iTunes, then connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of iTunes under 'Devices', and the use the Films/Movies tab on the right-hand side to sync the film to the iPad.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.

  • How to get songs to new computer from old one?

    I just got a new laptop and all my songs from iTunes are on my old desktop. I don't really understand computers to begin with, and I have been trying all day to get my songs from my old desktop to my new laptop. I have installed iTunes tried to Import songs from everywhere I can think of, and still nothing happens. I have songs onto CDs and tried to upload them and iTunes wont even recognize the CD. I have put the CD into other laptops with iTunes, and the CD is fine... what is wrong with my iTunes??

    This link has detailed directions on how to do this. It takes some time, but works fine:

  • How to get library onto new phone

    I just got my IPhone yesterday and when I set it up on my computer at home I noticed that there was another level of music, movies, and TV shows. It looks like it's created a new library or something for my IPhone. How can I get my existing library onto the phone? Also, will I be able to buy from my wish list, which I have created on the computer on both the computer and the phone? If I'm not able to do that now, how can I set this up? 

    I tried what you suggested, but didn't want to do that for all 593 songs in my library. Now I have two other questions, one relating to music management and one not.
    1. All my music transfered, but none of my playlists did. How do I get all my playlists to transfer as well?
    2. When I set up my phone I think it set up a new account or something. When I tried to purchase an app, it said that I had to verify my payment method, but I've never had to do that before. I have some credit on the account that I've been using, how do I get that to transfer over so I can purchase from both devices? Also, relating to this, I created a wish list in ITunes on the computer. How do I access this from the phone?

  • Computer Crashed- trying to get songs onto new iTunes

    My computer crashed a few weeks ago. I am trying to get the songs I purchased on my "old" computer that are now only on my iPod onto my "new" computer. I somehow was only able to transfer 3 songs that I had bought. I don't know how I could only transfer 3 and not the rest. Please help!

    Were the songs all purchased from a single Store account or from more than one. If the songs were purchased under different accounts then you would need to authorise the computer for each one. Failing that there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists (including purchases) 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. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • How to get library onto new MacBook

    I just bought a new Macbook. My ipod video was always used on a pc. How do I get my library onto my new mac?

    Try Senuti.
    It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
    It should work with a Windows formatted iPod because Macs can read and write to FAT32 formatted drives.

  • How to get songs onto my ipod?

    after downloading songs on limewire, i transferred them onto my itunes library. now i want to put them on my ipod, but i dont know how to do this. before i got my new computer, my itunes would automatically transfer the songs from my itunes library to my ipod library, but now it doesnt do that...

    Connect the iPod to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync the music that you want on your iPod

  • "how to get songs to new computer"?

    hey i have got a new laptop i already had all mi songs on ipod ok.. so then i connect it to my new laptop then when it says du wana sync with the new comp i said no.. so then i use podutil to try to copy the songs i did everything right.. when podutils finished coping i check mi itunes and it says 1618 items wheen i have 2485 on my ipod and i made sure on podutil i had pressed to copy them all and now its werid like 1000 of my songs just havent added or dissaperad plz what do i do
      Windows XP  

    Never used Podutil myself, but there are other alternatives here.
    Music from iPod to computer.
    There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
    If none of these methods work, try CopyPod which also supports the transfer of videos from iPod to computer.
    With the first method you can drag the files themselves into your desktop (say) and make sure you have them all.

  • Got new nano and new laptop - how to get songs on both?

    My old nano does not work, purchased a new Nano 16 gb.   Also have new laptop and would like to get songs onto new laptop and new nano.   What should I do first?  New laptop is Windows 7, old is Windows XP.   I do have an external hard drive that I can use to back up songs from old computer.

    The external is perfect. You will want to locate your music on the Win XP hard drive and move it to the external, then bring the external to the new Win 7 PC and drag the music in to a folder there.
    If you have iTunes already installed then you will need to drag the music in to iTunes once you've moved it to the PC.
    If iTunes is not installed you're good, just install iTunes and it will pick up the music automatically.
    Then connect iPod and sync ^^v

    Hey kevyg3,
    I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:

  • I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help :(

    If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
    If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.
