Recently i had to get a new computer.  I was able to get itunes on the new computer and itunes did reconize my phone.  BUT, it doesnt want to transfer the music from my phone to the computer?  Can someone help, Please??
Thanks

File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes will transfer items purchased from the iTunes store.
If you have items from other sources (ripped CD's, etc.) on the phone, you can't transfer those without purchasing 3rd party software.
Restore the backup of your old computer or just copy the data from the old computer to the new one.

    It looks like you may have to reinstall itunes.
    There are multiple things you should uninstall (and in a certain order) according to apple.
    Also, even thought your music and itunes library information should not be affected in the uninstall, I would strongly recomend backing it up. Go to where you keep your music files and make sure you back up everything in the folders "itunes" and "itunes music".
    The directions for the reinstall are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 They include what to uninstall and in what order. This is for itunes 9 and earlier, but I think it is the same for itunes 10.

  • My hard drive crashed. I slaved the old drive, but did not make a backup of my bookmarks. how can I transfer my bookmarks from the old drive to the new one?

    My original hard drive was replaced due tom multiple errors. Before it crashed completely, I installed a new hard drive and slaved the old one to allow me to access the data and transfer it to the new one. I did not backup the bookmarks. How can I pull the old bookmarks from the old drive to the new installation drive???

    Since you said you were able to transfer the data from your old drive to the new one, you probably still have the old Firefox Profile. Please read this article to see if it helps:

  • How do I download my Pictures from my phone to my computer?

    I want to download the pictures I have taken to my laptop. I took some pics of some furniture that I want to put on Craigs List. I emailed them to myself but the pictures are upside down! So if I download them to my computer I assume they will be upright. Not sure how to do this. HELP!

    In addition to the standard method in the link from Ingo2711, there are apps – many of them free – which make getting photos from your iPhone to another device, such as your computer, as easy as pointing your computer's web browser to a web page. I like WiFi Photo Transfer:
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wifi-photo-transfer/id380326191?mt=8
    Don't worry about pictures coming in sideways or upside-down. Just rotate them in iPhoto or Preview or whichever photo viewer/editor you prefer to use, before posting them on CraigsList.

  • TS2755 How do I copy text messages from my phone to my computer so they can be printed?

    There are a few conversations that I need printed from my phone. How do I go about doing that? Is there a way? Screen shots and printing isn't an option because I would be taking potentially hundreds of screenshots. I need a way to print them off in text form if possible.

    You need third-party software, like this:

  • I was sharing apple id with husband on our iPhones but now we want to each have our own, how can i do this without having all his info on his phone be lost?

    When husband and i got our iPhones we shared the same Apple ID but not that we have added an iPad and Mac he wants his own apple ID how can I change the apple id/icloud to his own without deleting all his phone and resetting?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You both need your own iCloud accounts. I would set up the second iCloud account and get all the data showing in both accounts, before trying to delete anything. You will need to delete the unwonted contacts and appointments etc manually.

  • How can I connect my imessaging from my phone with the imessaging on my macbook?

    I want my imessaging from my phone to correlate to my computer.

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
              Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    and on the iPhone:
              Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
    Then, on the phone, tap
              Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • My old computer has broken and I had not backed up my Itunes. I now have the hard drive from my old computer but cannot transfer the music. How can I transfer the music from my old hard drive to the new laptop?

    My old computer has broken and I had not backed up my Itunes. I now have the hard drive from my old computer (windows 7) but cannot transfer the music. How can I transfer the music from my old hard drive to the new laptop (windows 8)?

    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.

  • Jst got new computer and want to make it my main i-tunes for i-pod. It shows up when plugged in but it won't stay in the computers music library so when unplugged theres no music. Does it have to do with homesharing? How do I move orig stuff to new comp?

    I just downloaded i-tunes on my new computer because I want this one to be my main computer used with my i-pod. When I plug in my i-pod mine shows up, but my music and all my previous purchases aren't in the new computer so when I unplug my i-pod everything goes away and there is nothing. I am wondering how I get all of my original music and purchases that are on the other computer I was using with my i-pod onto this new computer. That way it shows up even if I don't plug my i-pod in. Does it have to do with homesharing? I have it on, do I need to turn it off from the main computer? I just everything in this computers i-tunes music library, not just my i-pods music when it's plugged in. Can someone please help, I don't know why this is so difficult.

    I am wondering how I get all of my original music and purchases that are on the other computer I was using with my i-pod onto this new computer.
    Try the iTunes for Windows forum area.

    Can you download large files from other places apart from the App store, wondering if it is the App store or your internet connection.
    If it just the app store check this url http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

  • I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found

    I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found.would you like to locate it".
    Either how do I locate it, and I've tried every trick I know, or how do I restore all of my songs from one of two sources. I have my old hard drive backedup on an external drive which should have all of my songs, and I have most of my songs on my old iPhone 3S which I'm using as a backup iPod.

    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

  • How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

    How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

    I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?

    Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
    Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one.
