how do i get itunes an my music on my new computer

Use the backup of the computer to put all your media and other important data on the new computer.
If for some ridiculous reason you have failed to maintain a backup, some content can be redownloaded from the iTunes down.

How can I get my music on iTunes on my new computer?

I just got a new computer because my old one totally died. All I want to do is get my iTunes on my new computer to have all my music on it, just like it was on my previous computer. I have an first generation iPod Touch, 16GB.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music that you've bought from other sources or copied from your own CDs then have you not got a backup of them on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto the computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off - this post mentions some that were around a couple of years ago, whether they still exist and work I don't know.

Click on transfer purchases only works for purchased apps and music, but NOT the music rip from CDs or other sources.
For transferring music other than those purchased from iTunes, refer to the following:

Old laptop crashed - how do I get the music stored on iPod into new laptop?

My old laptop crashed so I cannot follow the instructions for moving my iTunes library to a new computer because I can no longer go into my old iTunes and switch it to manual update and enable disk use. How can I get the music stored on my iPod into my new iTunes? I have a 60GB iPod video. Thanks

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 iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources 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 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
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
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 do i get my music from ipod to a new computer

I want to get all my music from my ipod onto my new computer, how do i go about doing this? I have downloaded itunes onto the new computer, switched on home sharing. I dont understand how to go about it? grateful for any help
thanks

Make sure that autosync is disabled in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, set up your account, connect your iPod and right click on it in the device list. Choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought music from iTunes to your new iTunes library.
If you want to use this computer to sync your device, right lick again in the device list and choose "backup"
This will perform a manual backup without the sync process. Set up at least one contact and event on your computer, to be able to merge data after your device got erased during the first sync.
Use the manual backup to restore your data and settings again.
Other music can only be copied if you use 3rd party software, see this thread for examples: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

I have a new computer. How do I get my music from Itunes to show up on this new computer. I have downloaded apple and can go to itunes store. I am worried that when I hook up my Ipod to the comp. and it's sync. it will wipe all my music from the Ipod off

Please help me find my music I have purchased from Itunes. I have a new computer and my library is empty. I have it all on my Ipod but I'm affraid if I plug it in the comp. it will sync. and wipe out my Ipod music. Thanks for what help I can get.

You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

I just got a new computer and my iPOD will not sync to it because of the old computer. How can I get my library to sync on the new computer????

I originally synced my iPOD to my PC in April 2011. I purchased a new computer but my iPOD will not sync to it because it is synced to the old PC. I do not want to erase my iPOD to sync with the new PC because I have loaded alot of music from CD's to it. HELP!

See this article how to transfer your data? How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
As mentioned by vazandrew, music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

TS1593 How do I get existing music from itunes onto my new Ipod touch?

How do I get my existing music from itunes on my computer onto my new ipod touch?
Itunes recognizes the new device, but when I try to sync it up, it says sync is complete, but no music shows up on the ipod. Itunes is the latest versioin (11.0.04)
(I suspect it has something to do with my having an older ipod nano. The older Ipod nano does sync up ok).
Wayne F.

It has nothing to do with the nano. I suspect that yo do not have the right setting checked to sync the media you want to sync, See:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPodWas the iPod touch previous synced to another computer/iTunes library? In that case yo can only use the manual method of syncing discussed in the article. If yo use the automatic method the media from the iPod will be erased \. I thin you are using the manual method but the songs are not checked to to sync.

You'll need to copy the music currently on your iPod to your new PC and into iTunes first before you can sync it to the new iPod.
