How to transfer my itunes to a new computer?

In the past when I had bought a new laptop, It has not been easy to transfer my music, as a matter of fact, a couple computers ago I lost the many hours I had spent to rate my music, cuurently my itunes library does not even has the all playlist that I ones dedicated so much time to integrate. Whatever.
I say ther must be a right way to transfer my library to a new computer, and I want to learn.

My computer crash how do i transfer my itunes to the new computer?

my computer crash how do i transfer my itunes to my new computer?

I sympathize with roaminggnome - How is this so? I will tell you how this is so.....
2 Macbooks and an Ipad were stolen from my house. When i was out of the house, I had my phone with me.
I always backed everything/synced to my computer AND to icloud.
Now we have a new computer and Ipad and you are telling me I would need to email my 1,600 pictures from my iphone photo albums to myself and reload them to my new computer?
You have got to be kidding me? I also do not understand how I saved all of my albums to my ipad & on the computer and synced to BOTH the computer AND icloud, but those albums are lost, because they were not on my camera roll?
1. I need another solution to getting my photos from my iphone to my imac.
2. How do i recover those albums that were saved to icloud, but I can only "see" the camera roll on icloud.
I know they are there somewhere - here is why:
When I first got my (new) Ipad and had downloaded (what i thought was everything) from icloud, I opened up my photos to show someone a picture that night and low and behold the names of several of my albums were in the photo app, but the pictures were all jumbled up. Almost like it was trying to search and organize, but it just wasn't done...... Example - dog album had pictures of leaves or people, not the dog.
The next day I opened the Ipad & went to photos, no albums, just photo stream, camera roll. Only the pictures that had been taken when we first got the (old) Ipad.
Can anyone provide assistance??
thanks!

I've just got a new computer does any one know how to transfer my song to my new computer. I've installed itunes but can't seem to transfer the songs

I've just got a new computer does any one know how to transfer my song to my new computer. I've installed itunes but can't seem to transfer the songs.

you can use home sharing.
or, assuming you have all your media files in the default location, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from the old to the exact same location on the new machine.
you can either use your network or an external HD for that.

How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without lossing all my music?

I don't want to rebuy everything I have purchased over the years.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

Hey poppy808,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to transfer your iTunes Library to a new computer. It also mentions how you can use most iPods as an external drive (in the External drive section):

I will then download and install a new version of itunes on my new computer.
My question is this. When I do this, will itunes have all my album artwork for all my library? My library has a lot of my own music and I have spent quite a bit of time copying album artwork that itunes did not add. I am really hoping I don't have to do this again!
Thanks for your help!

How to transfer existing Album Art to NEW Computer/iTunes?

Hi guys, I will try to make this simple. I'm going from an iMac to a new macbook. I had hopes of creating a complete clone of my existing itunes library into the new computer...but it seems harder than I expected. Moving the music itself is not a problem. I my "iTunes folder" has always been a seperate folder on an external hard drive. Moving this music from this folder to a new itunes is not hard at all, but in the process I'm losing all info like play count, playlists, and *most importantly, the Album Art that I've spent hours and hours adding to the files in iTunes.* (only a handful of music has transferred with its art, and those were all added previously, not by me, likely not through itunes.
Losing playcounts and playlists I will be able to live with, but I'm hellbent on clean transferring the album art I've manually collected in my previous version of iTunes... please help me figure this out... if you have any questions about my set up just ask
Thank you in advance.

Chris, than you for responding. Let me try to clarify...
My previous "iTunes folder" has always been a folder on an external drive. So when I dropped music into iTunes, it then copies directly to "E:/External Drive/TOTALMUSIC". That's the source/itunes database. So in that folder, as far as I know, there is all my music, and then it gets broken down into "Artists" and then "Albums".
Upon copying this old music into itunes on my new computer, the music transfers fine, but most music loses the Album Art that it shows on my previous computer, while some artwork does actually stay.
Perhaps I need to go into a seperate file on my firt computers actual iTunes folders (not the external database) and copy something from in there and paste that into iTunes folders in the new computer?
To summarize, the music saves to a folder outside of itunes, and I've transferred that music across just fine, but somewhere in the mix I lost a lot of info that I think should be somehow attached to the files. I'm wondering if this information is actually saved seperate from the music files or something? why wouldn't the changes I've made to the artwork through iTunes reflect to the backed up music in its source on the external?
Frustrating!
Thanks again...

How to sync w/ iTune on a new computer

I am synching my iphone w/ a PC (windows XP) and have a lot of podcasts, music, etc on it. I also have my iphone backup by this iTune
I have installed iTune on a different computer (windows vista) and now like to start synching w/ this new iTune without losing anything (backups, music, etc) I have on the other machine.
How would I do this? I kind of like to move everything from one machine to another.
Thanks,
-Jalil

You need to transfer your iTunes library from the computer running XP to the different computer running Vista, which is stored in the iTunes folder located in the My Music folder. Transfer the entire iTunes folder and place it in the same location on the computer running Vista.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with a single computer only. After transferring your iTunes folder to the new or different computer, when first syncing iTunes content with this computer, all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased first followed by being re-transferred to your iPhone since you are syncing iTunes content with a different computer - even though with the same iTunes library that was transferred from another computer.
You don't need to transfer your iPhone's backup from the computer running XP, you can create a new backup of your iPhone with iTunes on the new or different computer. With your iPhone connected, control-click on your iPhone in the iTunes source list. There is an option to create a backup.

I have my iTunes Library all saved on an external hard drive. I have iTunes on the desktop of my laptop. The hard drive in my laptop is going bad. How do I move iTunes to another computer and be able to use my external hard drive? This may be easier than I might think. I hope so.
Thanks

how to transfer music from iphone to new computer

iTunes will transfer your purchases from your iPhone to your new computer by using File>Transfer Purchases. For the rest of the content that’s on your iPhone use a program called TouchCopy which works on Windows and the Mac. It transferred my music, photos, contacts and SMS to my new computer very well.
