How to setup iTunes on a new computer after the old computer died

My Macbook Pro recently died after many years of good service. I had an iPod touch, iPad 3, and two iPhones that were set up on it and an extensive music library in iTunes. How can I save my music and current settings and transfer them to my new Macbook Pro?

Call Apple and ask how to transfer how to help you with your issue.
They can give you soe info.

    Restore from backup if you have one.
    You can also transfer stuff from your iPod if you have one:

    If you are in the US or Canada you can download purchased music from the Purchased link in the iTunes store.
    Otherwise if the disk drive is OK in your Old PC you can remove it and put it in a USB drive enclosure and then use it as an external disk on your new PC, then you copy the muisc from there.

  • I have an older Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer these songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • I cannot get my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even get google to open. I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer.

    I cannot get my iTunes library/music from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even open a browser.I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer. I disconnected my old computer so I will have to reconnect it I am sure. thank you for any help. Last time I transferred I used a product I purchased. That was a long time ago.

    First of all make sure that you've definitely backed up the movies to your external hard disc.
    In iMovie click on any event you don't want, go to the file menu and select 'move event to trash'. Then do the same for any unwanted projects - 'move project to trash'. Quit out of iMovie and empty the trash.
    Hope that helps!

  • Hi, just need to know how to get my music, video, pictures and apps form my iPhone to my new laptop as the old computer, which I used before was stolen. I only have my phone left and if I try to conect it to my new laptop it's trying to delete everything.

    I have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

  • I had to buy a new laptop after my old one died, after authorising my new one nearly my whole library has disappeared. How do I get all my songs back?

    I had to buy a new laptop after my old one died, after authorizing my new one nearly my whole library has disappeared. How do I get all my songs back?

    Likely, because you are now using a different Apple ID and iTunes account. Return to using your old Apple ID and authorize only after you have de-authorized your old computer.
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

    Is it to do with the fact that it had been previously installed on my old computer?

  • How do I migrate an ipad to a new computer if the old computer is not available to retrieve the backup file from?

    I've read lots about using the "transfer purchases" option, but the person I'm helping is very afraid of losing data, etc.

    Read this thread completely and carefully.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3305461
    If you follow the advice/suggestions that King Penguin and Demo (me) posted in this thread, you will be able to transfer everything from your iPad to another computer - even if you no longer have access to the old computer.
    Transferring purchases is a breeze and it WILL work.  Just follow the instructions. Remember to turn auto sync OFF in iTunes before you connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes. And remember to Transfer Purchases and Backup before you proceed with anything else. The data that you are worried about losing is contained in the iPad backup when you manually create the backup - hence the importance of backing up before syncing.

  • Photostream needs the name of my new computer.  The old one died.

    How can I get the name of my new computer for photostream.  My old computer died and I have tried to find a way to tell my phone to send my photos to my new computer.  The Icloud is on and my photos have been transferred from my old computer but all the new photos are trying to go to the name of the old computer that is listed under settings.

    For Windows:
    Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System > Computer, then look under Computer name, domain and workgroup settings. The computer name will be there.
    For Mac:
    The computer name is listed right below the Mac OS X apple logo on the login screen.
    Hope I helped.

  • HT1660 how can i find my itunes library on a new computer after my old computer crashed with my itunes library on it?

    I have a windows 7.

    It is on your old computer.  Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085 ); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple recommends,  "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

      Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.
      Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
      You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    If the above doesn't work, it is reported iTunes Support occasionally permitting a second download when asked nicely, but they are in no way obligated to do this. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column; third column click 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption' and proceed from there.

    You may have already done this, but try de-authorizing your computer (through the iTunes:Store menu) and then re-authorizing it.
