HT1391 how do i get my itunes library off ipod to new computer?  only getting songs purchased not downloaded from cds etc.

How do I get my itunes library off an ipod onto a new computer?  I am only getting songs purchased but not loaded from home cds etc.
thanks,

" I am only getting songs purchased but not loaded from home cds etc."
That is correct.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  The ipod is not a backup device.
Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How do I get songs I've downloaded from iTunes to be transferred to my iPhone 5?  I have to use internet or data to play now.

    I recently got my new iPhone 5 and now all the songs I previously downloaded can only be played if I'm on the internet or want to use part of data package.  Is there anyway to get these songs on my iPhone?  In iTunes it says the songs are stored on the cloud and I can't sync them with my iPhone.  Any help would be appreciated.

    This topic has been covered in-depth on this forum.
    With iTunes Match enabled traditional syncing of music via USB is disabled and all music management takes place directly on the iOS device. To sync via USB iTM must me disabled.

  • How can I retrive my iTunes library off of a broken computer?

    My old Macbook got water damage and broke. I never went to fix it because it was old and I knew it wasn't worth it. However, I upgraded my iPhone (I now have a 5c) and I need to get all my music from my iTunes onto this new phone. I paid for that music and do NOT want to lose it. Somebody please help!

    If it's iTunes Store content, you may be able to redownload it directly from there. If that's not applicable, put the computer's internal drive in an enclosure, connect it to another Mac, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, and specify that library.

  • How do you set up iTunes 10.5 on a new computer?, How do you set up iTunes 10.5 on a new computer?

    I have a new computer  with Windows 7, Outlook and I use iTunes with an Apple iPhone 4 and a iPad. My devices have iOS5. How do you set up iTunes 10.5 on a new computer and sync these devices. I have already downloaded iTunes 10.5 on my computer. Also, I use MobileMe. Thanks for your help. LCP

    Thank you for your response. I have all of my files, etc. and am sitting here on the old computer. I just wasn't sure if I should simply save the iTunes program I am using or insall a new version.
    After I get iTunes onto my new computer do I authorize the new computer before I plug in my IPod or after?
    I'm sorry I didn't point out that I had all of my files available. For some reason, working with iTunes and my iPod make me nervous.
    Thanks again.

  • HT4528 I've purchased a few dozen songs from itunes on my iphone. A few of these songs will not download properly and I keep getting a "unable to download song" message. My account info is correct and full signal.

    I've purchased a few dozen songs from itunes on my iphone. A few of these songs will not download properly and I keep getting a "unable to download song" message. My account info is correct and full signal. It seems to continually keep trying to download but cannot. Please help!

    i do understand that.  if you purchased the music on the phone.  its still available to you.  if you go in itunes on your computer.  go to purchases.  there should be all the music you have purchased.  there you can download the song if it isn't already and then sync it to your phone which will add the song to the phone.  have you tried to power off phone and then try to download again.   the itunes way is just another option. 

  • HT1349 I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!

    I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!  I hope it's something quite simple?
    Apologies, but none of the communities listed seems to fit this question - so I'm taking pot luck!

    For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

  • How do i get my pics to download from the cloud after resetting my phone?

    How do i get my pics to download from the cloud after having to reset the phone?  I have 1000 pics and only 90 of them came back.

    If these are photo stream photos, what you may not know is that photo stream only keeps photos in photo stream for 30 days, even though they will remain on your devices (up to 1000) photos until your delete them.  The 90 photos that were still there are probably the ones added in the last 30 days.
    Camera roll photos are included in your iCloud backup.  If the missing photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup to your phone should recover them.  If they weren't in your camera roll there is no way to recover them.

  • HT1451 I used to be able to sync all songs that I downloaded from CDs to my iPad. Now I can only get the songs that were purchased from iTunes.  Can someone tell me why?

    I used to be able to sync songs that I imported from CDs into my library onto my iPad and iPad touch. Now I can only sync the purchased from iTunes songs. What has changed?  Do I have to subscribe to iCloud to do this now?

    Hi Cricketdaw,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    iTunes should sync your entire library, and not just songs purchased from the iTunes Store, as mentioned in this article:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    By default, iTunes automatically syncs your entire iTunes library whenever you connect your device to your computer. On each subsequent sync, iTunes will automatically add any new music or videos to the device and remove any items that are no longer in your iTunes Library.

  • My daughters computer crashed, got new one. Trying to transfer ipod to new computer only does some of content tells me I need to aurtherize computer my wife shared itunes with daughter that ipod is gone now and dont have password.

    Trying to transfer ipod to new computer. It is telling me to autharize computer. Had another ipod on same account, it gone now. Don't have password or any info about it. What do I do?

    The password is for your iTunes account. Not for your old iPod. Enter your Email and password will give you access to all the music you bought from iTunes.  If you forget it then I dont know how to help you there guess your SOL.

  • When I backed up files on my external drive, I inadvertently dragged my itunes library there. Now I can only play songs on my laptop when my external drive is plugged in. How do I get the library back to my computer

    When I was backing up files from my computer to my external drive, I inadvertently dragged my itunes library to the external drive. Now I can only play my library when my external drive is plugged into my computer. How do I get the library location changed back to my computer?

    Your drive was used with a PC and formatted NTFS which is proprietary Microsoft format.
    You need to install a third party program that will read the NTFS format.
    There is various software from PARAGON, Tuxera and NTFS-3G
    When you get the data off and have verified it to be good, reformat the drive either HFS+ for Mac use only, or for Mac and PC use then MSDOS (FAT32) for under 4GB files (best) or exFAT (for larger than 4GB files) is proprietary and Microsoft is appling for a patent, which would likely mean OS X won't be allowed to read it anymore without a licensing fee and you'l have to pay another third party software company to read the format, just like NTFS is.
    The less you have to rely upon third party sources to read your drives the better, this way if you have a issue and need to read the drive on another machine you don't need the software, and a internet connection and a credit card and...and...and...
