HT2291 I installed Itunes on mu laptop.I down;oaded some music. The hard drive on that computer crashed. How do i get my Itunes library from the other computer to put on my new computer?

How do i get my Itunes library from my crashed hard drive to put on my new computer? The old computer had Windows Vista and the new computer has Windows 8.

It will only be where you put it.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • I have my iTunes library between an external hard drive and my PC.  How do I get all of it onto the PC?  When I consolidate it leaves the songs on the external drive.

    My iTunes library is split between an external hard drive and my PC.  How do I get all the songs onto my PC?  When I consolidate, it brings the names of the songs to the PC but they are empty files.

    Hold down the "option" + "command" keys and launch iPhoto.
    Select the "Rebuild Thumbnails" choice.

  • If my computer crashed how can I get my itunes from my ipod onto my new pc without losing when syncing up?

    my pc crashing some time ago -- want to add new songs to my iPod but don't want to lose the songs I have on there now.  Anyway to do that?

    You should transfer the song files from your iPod to your current computer, add them to the iTunes library, and sync your iPod to that library (after confirming all of those songs are there now).
    Any songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded, at no cost, using the Purchased screen in the iTunes Store.
    For other songs, you can't transfer from iPod to computer using iTunes.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  Add "mac" to the search if you use a Mac.
    That would be the safest way to proceed, because you will then have a backup of the iPod's songs on the computer (in case the iPod breaks, gets lost, or needs a "Restore").  However, if you decline to sync when you first connect the iPod, it should get set to "Manually manage music."  When it is set that way, you should be able to add new songs to it manually (by dragging songs to it in iTunes).  But again, it would be safest to have ALL the songs (on the iPod) in the iTunes library on the computer first.

  • Computer crashed, how do i get my itunes from my ipod to my computer again?

    Hello,
    A couple of weeks ago my computer picked up a virus and went death blue. I have reformatted my hard drives and re-installed everything including latest version of itunes. I have connected my ipod to my computer and it recognizes it but I cannot figure out how to transfer my library from my ipod back to my computer? Any ideas? I hope this makes sense. Any questions? Thanks for your time.

    A quick search on the forums could have answered this for you, but oh well:

  • Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install.

    Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install. Appreciate if someone in the forum can help.

    The backup and restore from the iCloud was a little unnerving since the restore erased all information from the iPod.  The iCloud backup and restore took a long time, but worked.  I was very grateful.
    Trying again to backup to iTunes locally proved to be the same challenging problem.  The same backup to corrupt file was the message.  The status bar showing backup seemed to move faster to start, but then slowed to a creep toward the end before the error. 
    When trying to restore a backup in iTunes, the "Restore" button is grayed out since it is looking for a local copy.  Any restore would need to be from the iCloud which already worked but isn't the final solution.
    Your suggestions were good, I am just in the same boat.  Any thoughts about doing the following?
    1) creating a cloud backup
    2) resetting the iPod to factory defaults
    3) removing all traces of iTunes from my computer and
    4) installing iTunes and setting up iPod from scratch.
    This is the next thing on my list.

    When I left my former employer, Pollinate Agency, I bought a MacBook Pro with Acrobat Pro (version 9 or possibly 9.5) installed from the company. I recently had a serious computer crash, and needed to get all contents erased. The support provider didn't have my product key, so could not reinstall Acrobat Pro for me. Since then, I have gotten the product key sent to me from my former employer, [ REMOVED ] So I need help in re-downloading, installing and activating the Acrobat Pro software on this computer.

    Please remove the S/N immediately (I can't or would). Never post them online. As for download you can go to http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html on the right panel to get 9 pro. I am not sure there is a MAC version there, but that is the first place to go. If it is the proper version, then please back it up to CD and/or portable HD, not the system HD.

  • My computer crash how do i transfer my itunes to the new computer?

    my computer crash how do i transfer my itunes to my new computer?

    I sympathize with roaminggnome - How is this so? I will tell you how this is so.....
    2 Macbooks and an Ipad were stolen from my house. When i was out of the house, I had my phone with me.
    I always backed everything/synced to my computer AND to icloud.
    Now we have a new computer and Ipad and you are telling me I would need to email my 1,600 pictures from my iphone photo albums to myself and reload them to my new computer?
    You have got to be kidding me? I also do not understand how I saved all of my albums to my ipad & on the computer and synced to BOTH the computer AND icloud, but those albums are lost, because they were not on my camera roll?
    1. I need another solution to getting my photos from my iphone to my imac.
    2. How do i recover those albums that were saved to icloud, but I can only "see" the camera roll on icloud.
    I know they are there somewhere - here is why:
    When I first got my (new) Ipad and had downloaded (what i thought was everything) from icloud, I opened up my photos to show someone a picture that night and low and behold the names of several of my albums were in the photo app, but the pictures were all jumbled up. Almost like it was trying to search and organize, but it just wasn't done...... Example - dog album had pictures of leaves or people, not the dog.
    The next day I opened the Ipad & went to photos, no albums, just photo stream, camera roll. Only the pictures that had been taken when we first got the (old) Ipad.
    Can anyone provide assistance??
    thanks!

    when your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • I exported my passwords to a flash drive, and have a new computer. How do I get those passwords moved to the NEW machine?

    I exported my passwords to a flash drive, and have a new computer. How do I get those passwords moved to the NEW machine?

    Firefox doesn't have an "export" feature built into it for password data.
    Exactly what did you do to "export" your passwords?
    Did you use this extension?
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/
    If so, see the screenshots on that page to see the Import function.
    If you copied the two files that are used for storing passwords from the old computer to back them up, just copy those 2 files into the Profile folder on the new computer to restore them.
