HT1977 How do I transfer my purchased iTunes apps and media to a new computer?

I bought a new computer, and I wanted to download iTunes and start using it to manage my library.  Do I have to transfer all purchased apps to the new computer, or will iTunes do that automatically for me when I sign into my account on the new computer?

Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

  • How do I get my old itunes data and library into my new computer

    I recently bought a new laptop (10.7.5) and had to leave town quickly. I dumped my Itunes folder from my old machine onto an external hard drive and now I don't know how to get that all into and onto the new laptop. I think I would like to keep the  whole 80GB of data on my 500gb harddrive. Should I copy manually? I am hoping that all my song info and playlists etc. can come too> HELP!

    Copy the entire /iTunes/ folder on the external drive to /Music/ on your computer then launch iTunes. That is all you need to do.

    You mean new to you. Anything releaased in the last 1.5 years would have 10.8.

  • How do i transfer all of my apps and media from an old account to a new one

    i am making a new account for myself i have another account thats for my family and i want to tansfer all of my media and apps to my new account. Thanks

    You cannot transfer anything from one account to another.  Purchases are always tied to the account from which they weere purchased.

    how do I transfer playlists from itunes to my ipod on the new itunes format?

    I had the same question. Someone answered perfectly here https://discussions.apple.com/message/20575126#20575126
    The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again. Copy playlists into iPod as usual.

  • How do I transfer my apps and music to a new computer

    How do I transfer my apps and music to a new computer?  I have authorized my Computer, but when I connect the ipod, it only comes up with the message box "Erase and sync.", I don't get the option to transfer my music and apps onto the Computer.  How can this be achived?  I really don't want the Computer to wipe my ipod.  Any help much appreciated.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include media like app and music.

  • How do I transfer Notes from my iPhone4s and iPad to my new MacBook Pro?

    How do I transfer Notes from my iPhone4s and iPad to my new 13" MacBook Pro with retina display?

    Finally figured it out...
    1) Open mail/compose notes on your macbook...
    2) copy and paste every note from Outlook to a new note in Mail.
    3) Open iTunes. In Info/Advanced tick Notes. This will replace / copy all Notes from Mail to your iPhone...
    4) Voila! Notes are on iPhone...
    I must say in spite of all the fabulous advantages of a Macbook and an iPhone, syncing really does suck...
    Transferring data from another smartphone to a Mac or an iPhone is tough...
    Features like "one way / two way" sync for Phone / computer or allowing us to select which whose, phone or computer, will be considered more important so that you can choose whose data will overwrite the other, are not there in iTunes... This is something which really needs to be there...
    Anyways... problem solved for now...
    ciao...

  • My old laptop is not working.  How do I get my itunes account and library on my new computer with out wiping out my ibrary?

    my old laptop is not working.  How do I get my itunes account and library on my new computer with out wiping out my ibrary?

    Hi 1Donald,
    To answer your question, ''"How can my new desktop have a KEY when it is not even part of the sync yet?"''
    You need to get the key from the new device and enter it into the old device. So on the old device select "Pair a device" and the place to enter the key will show up.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to Recover Playlists when Transferring iTunes Library from External Drive to New Computer

    iTunes library copied to external drive and then loaded to new computer. All songs are there but all of the playlists that I had set up do not appear. I cannot figure out how to retrieve/recover them. The back-up was not done by me so I'm not sure of the steps that were followed. Is there something special that needs to be done when backing up to external drive in terms of saving playlists? Help!

    Hello TNCGRCT,
    It sounds like the library was successfully transferred to the new computer, but the songs were imported into a new iTunes library. If you still have access to the external drive, or better yet the previous computer, we will want to transfer the iTunesLibrary.itl file and open it with iTunes:
