How to transfer purchased tunes from ailing old hard disk?

Last year I installed the (then) latest iTunes
on a Windows XP computer. I bought some songs
from the iTunes Music Store. Then the hard disk got sick.
It can only be used for about 5--10 minutes at a time.
Then I have to power it down for a while.
The OS on that disk is corrupted, so I cannot boot
and run from it.
I put a new HD in my Windows computer.
I can run Windows and programs from the new HD,
and read data from the old HD, but only for 5--10 minutes.
How do I get the old songs onto the new HD,
so that they can be played?
Is it simply a matter of copying them,
or do I have to do something else/additional
to deal with the protection mechanism(s)?
BTW, I have not yet installed iTunes on the new HD,
and I just bought my first iPod today.
Thanks!

How to transfer purchased apps from my old iPhone to my new iPhone?

I have purchased some apps on an old iPhone 2G, but have purchased a iPhone 3G now. I assume I won't have to pay for those apps twice? Does anyone know how i can get them installed on my new phone? (haven't got the phone yet, just want to be prepaired)

All apps purchased and downloaded via iTunes on your computer, or the same with your iPhone should be available in your iTunes library.
When syncing the iPhone 3G with iTunes, you select the applications that you want installed on your iPhone 3G under the Applications tab for your iPhone sync preferences. No different from selecting the iTunes content that you want transferred to the iPhone.

Copy the entire iTunes folder from \Users\<User>\Music on the old drive into your music folder on the new computer.
Or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

How to transfer purchased music from iTunes

Can anyone tell me how to transfer purchased music from iTunes to my iPod without first downloading to a CD?

If you are using the latest version of iTunes (4.6), then you need to make sure your ipod software is up to date also.
When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
Get the latest updates here.
If you have done all this and still can't transfer it, post back with more info about what is happening.
EDIT.
Grrrr......must learn to type faster!

How to transfer purchased item from itunes to an ipod

how to transfer purchased item from itunes to an ipod? Spent about an hour and cannot figure out how to do that The best result this far was smth. like this to Sync a book means that all your music, songs, TV show and movies will be erased. What a strange Apple logic!

That message indicate that you are trying to sync with other than the one syncing computer/iTunes library that yo can have. You have to two choices:
- Make this computer your syncing computer by:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
or

Topic: How to transfer purchased music from iTunes

Since the item <Topic: How to transfer purchased music from iTunes> is "locked" (whatever that means - typically, I got an error message when I clicked on the link!!) - I would like to state that despite downloading the iPod updater to deal with this problem, I cannot update my iPod because "the updater does not have a firmware image". I deeply resent not being able to move 100 tracks I have bought and paid for with my hard-earned money to my iPod. I trust that Apple will sort out this mess forthwith.

I have now solved this problem (almost by accident...).
Unfortunately, before you can update the iPod software on the older iPods you have to first do a Restore Factory Settings from the iPod updater (otherwise "updater cannot find firmware image'). Let the 'Restore' process run right through (it ends when the iPod fully reboots). You can then run the iPod software updater to Update from iPod 2.2 to 2.3 software, but afterwards you have to recopy all your songs from iTunes into the now empty iPod. I reloaded my iPod last night, and it took about 20-30mins using firewire for c.2400 songs. It worked for me, anyway. And the interface with iTunes is an improvement. Could have done without all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, though. Thank you, Apple.

How can i download movies from my portable hard disk or usb to my Ipad2 ?

how can i download movies from my portable hard disk or usb to my Ipad2 ?

Import them into iTunes, then sync to your iPad. Movies may need to be converted to an iTunes compatible format. There are any number of utilities for that such as HandBrake 0.9.5.
Please get the iPad iOS 4 user guide.

How do I transfer applications & data from my old hard-drive to my new one?

My old hard drive started to crash, it was on it's way out and making funny noises. I have brought a new hard drive and connected it to the same leeds as the old one. I have put the opperating system on to the new hard drive and it is all up and running..... but.
I want to transfer all my old applications like garage sale and limewire without having to pay for them again and transfer all my music and photos from the old hard drive to the new.
So:
1: How do i get the old hard drive out of the position it's in it seems glued in and i can't see any screws?
2: How do i connect both hard drives and transfer everything from the old to the new? Do i need to buy another set of leeds or should they be in the computer
Your help would be most appreciated.....

Hi
You should be able to have both drives installed at the same time in the rear U shaped bracket. One needs to be mounted in the bottom of the bracket, have it's jumpers set to master and be connected to the end connector of the ribbon cable. The other needs to mounted above it, have it's jumpers set to slave and be connected to the middle connector of the ribbon cable. The computer should have the leads to do this, i.e. one ribbon cable with two connectors and two molex power connectors. With both drives installed, you can then drag your music and photos etc from the old to the new. You could try dragging the applications, although if they install additional files elsewhere they'll need to be reinstalled from the original CDs or DVDs.
The old drive may be screwed into the U shaped bracket from below. There should be a single screw which secures the bracket to the chassis at the front, although it may be hidden under the ribbon cable. If you unplug the ribbon cable and undo the single screw you can remove the bracket still containing the old drive, by sliding it forwards and lifting it up at the front. The screws securing the drive to the bracket can then be undone from beneath.

How to delete purchased tunes from iPhone?

I am undable to delete purchased tunes from my iPhone (4s, ios7.0.2) I can delete all other tunes through syncing on iTunes. However, purchased tunes remain on my iPhone. To the right of the title of the tune there is an image of a cloud with a arrow pointing downward. This indicates that the tune is to be downloaded. This is strange, as these tunes are already in iTunes. I tried touching the cloud to download the tunes onto my iPhone. Once all were downloaded, I went to settings, general, usage and to the music app. The I went to edit and delete. This did no good. The tunes are still there. I have tried this several times. On my last attempt, I download the tunes again (on my iPhone), the synced with iTunes. The tunes on my iPhone were temporarly gone, but soon came back. I do not want any of these tunes on my iPhone at this time. I don't know how to get rid of them.

Hi clydedrnd,
When you see the song with the cloud icon, that means that the song is not on the phone, but can be downloaded from iCloud. If you would like to permantly delete the song from iCloud, you may find the following article helpful:

How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
