HT201303 I don't understand how to get my full itunes music library from one owned laptop to a new purchased airbook?

Don't understand why my music and video's in itunes don't easily port to a new airbook from my macbook. What a pain to wait for the cloud.

Just connect them via firewire/usb.

  • How do I recoup my iTunes music library from my old computer to my new computer?

    I recently purchased a new HP computer and downloaded iTunes from my existing account.  I was able to re-establish several podcasts, although the history was lost.  Now I need to figure out how to recoup my music library from my previous computer (all the music uploaded from CDs).  Is there an easy way to do this?  Thanks for any help.

  • HT201272 how do i transfer my music library from an old laptop to a new laptop   BTW - i dont have the old laptop

    Hi - how do i transfer my music library from an old laptop to a new laptop??  BTW - i dont have the OLD laptop anymore - am i screwed??

    You cannot transfer anything from a device which you do not have, because you do not have it.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • How can I transfer my iTunes Media Library from one PC to another without losing files and making a mess of the file and album structure?

    I have imported a number of Café del Mar CD's to iTunes, and iTunes keeps scattering the tunes into several different folders in iTunes Media. It also has trouble finding album information, unless it has been downloaded from iTunes Store. Previous versions of iTunes I have tried didn't have this problem.
    I've tried to tidy the files manually in iTunes Media, but that usually results in duplicates, so I stopped messing with it. I actually wouldn't mind iTunes blowing up my albums into a nightmare file structure of hyper categorization in iTunes Media (Album, Album Artist, Artist, etc.) if only it recognised its own mess when I transfer the library from one iTunes library into another.
    An example: I downloaded Cafe del Mar - Essential Elements featuring 13 tunes, two of these can be found in the files Cafe del Mar/Cafe del Mar Essential Elements, iTunes also created the folder Cafe del Mar/Cafe del_Mar Essential Elements containing 0 tunes!?! and the rest of the tunes are found under Rue de Soleil in the root folder, indicating ONE of the artists as the criteria for creating a folder of tunes!?!
    I am trying with every fiber NOT to hate this program, and would appreciate it if someone could explain to me how I can move an iTunes Media library of aprox 54 gb from my desktop via an external harddisk onto my laptop. I have tried 4 times, and everytime the result varies. Sometime I transfer 3000 files, other times 4000. Which files follow and don't is random. I lose files tranferring to the external harddisk and lose even more files from the external disk to the new library on my Lap. Do I have to transfer song for song or can this genius program actually transfer a larger amount of files without losing half the files and duplicating the rest?
    Is there a limit of size or amount of files?

    Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
    As to your issues with compilations albums select all the tracks, set the Album Artist to Various Artists and on the options tab set Part of a compilation to Yes. See Grouping tracks into albums for details.

  • Windows XP User:  I Don't Understand How To Get Photos Into iTunes

    So I have hundreds of photos living in Picasa on my XP PC. How can I get them into iTunes (or anywhere for that matter) in a manner that they can be viewed via Apple TV?
    I own Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady; are those potential solutions?
    Help.
    TIA

    Hello BillyGoat
    You can sync Photos to Apple TV from windows, knowledge base article 305139 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305139) describes how to to it.

  • HT201250 I do not understand how to restore my entire iTunes music library with Playlists and all?

    I do not understand how to restore my iTunes library inlcuding Playlists and all? In clearing out an older Powerbook I had not signed out of MobileMe when clearing iTunes. That deleted many songs and Playlists on the iMac and iPhone. Help is appreciated.

  • How do I transfer an entire music library from old PC that crashed to new PC

    I purchased a new computer and before I could transfer my music library to the new computer (Windows 8.1), my old PC (windows XP) crashed and I can't get access to it any longer.  I can see how to download one song at a time, but is there an option to download the entire music library? (iTunes version 12.01.26)

  • How do I recover my iTunes music library from an external backup?

    The bad news:  my iMac G5 died with my iTunes library on it.
    The good news:  it was backed up to an external hard drive.
    I'm not going to fix the iMac, so I need to retrieve the backup and put it on my MacBook.  How do I import from the external drive to my MacBook?
    I also have the library on my iPod, but it appears that if I want to import form the iPod, I have to hook it to the old computer first to switch it to manual syn mode.  But the old iMac is out of service.
    Thanks in advance for a pointer to an article or other tips.

    what is backed up on the external ? the entire iTunes folder including media files and the library files or just the media files ?
    if the former, just copy the iTunes folder from the external to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the new Mac.
    if the latter, drag the folder containing the media files from the external to the automatically add to iTunes folder inside the iTunes folder on your new Mac.
    all your playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc. are lost unless you can retrieve the iTunes library file from the iMac.
    I also have the library on my iPod,

    Select items to sync automatically
    1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
    2. Select the type of media you want to sync.
    The types of media you can sync depends on your device. For more information, see Sync and organize iOS apps and Add photos to iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
    3. Select the Sync checkbox, and select the items you want to sync automatically each time you connect your device.
    Click a button to select the kind of content you want to sync, then select the sync checkbox and select the items you want to sync automatically
    The bar at the bottom of the window shows how much space will remain on your device after you sync.

    How do I transfer my whole music library from my ipod to my brand new macbook pro?

    You should be able to transfer iTunes purchases as described on the page that you posted from i.e. File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g CDs) then if you don't have them on a backup that you can copy them from, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page that might be able to copy them from the iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
    So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
    I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
    Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
    I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
    Kind Regards
