  • Is there a way to import your entire music library from an iPod classic into iTunes on  my PC?  PC was wiped out and my iPod is the only complete library copy I have.

    My PC hard drive was wiped out and I am rebuilding my Windows 7 system.  The only complete library I have of my music is located on my iPod classic.  Is there a way to import the library from my iPod into a  new iTunes library on my PC?  I was told if I connect my iPod to the PC, ITunes will try to sync with the iPod and wipe out the library on the iPod.

  • Want to import entire music library from iTouch to new HP laptop

    I have an iPod iTouch with a music library of about 2500 songs and I have a new HP Pavillion DV6000 Entertainment notebook computer (which runs Vista). My original iTunes library is in my desktop (which runs XP). The iTunes n the desktop is the one the iPod is officially affiliated with. Apple policy states that an iPid can only be affilaited with one computer. I want to import the entire music library (not just songs purchased through iTunes store) from my iPod iTouch into the empty iTunes library on the new notebook. I've heard mention of iGadget, iRepo and IpodAccess but I don't know how to use these to get what I want. Can anybody give input or specific directions to help me?

  • Restore entire music library from match

    How do I restore my entire music library from Match to my computer?  I had a system failure and have had to restore everything.  iTunes shows clouds next to songs; do I need to download each one individually?  I've tried and some download, and others do not and honestly this would be very tedious.

    To download more than one track at at time highlight the tracks you want to download, right-click and choose "download." However, this is not the most efficient way to restore an iTunes library. You should restore your personal data from the backups you make to an external HDD. You do make backups, don't you?

    I'm currently trying to import photos to my library from a memory card to my laptop. The import is stalled and will not allow me to stop the import, any suggestions?

    Does this involve iPhoto in some way? If so, try using the Force Quit command. It's under the Apple Menu.

  • Transfer my iTunes music library from a Mac (10.4) to a PC (Windows 2000)

    Can I transfer my iTunes music library from a Mac (10.4) to a PC (Windows 2000) using a 5-gig jump drive (Sony)?

    I might suggest opening up the jump drive (or My Documents if you still have all your music there), then opening the iTunes folder, then the iTunes Music folder, then selecting all the folders in there and dragging them into iTunes while its open and on your Library playlist. This should tell iTunes to rebuild its iTunes Library.itl file and all the files should appear in your library then. This doesn't make duplicate copies of anything - or at least it didn't on my laptop.
    Problem with that is that I think you lose all your playlists, which you might not want. But if losing playlists is acceptable, then I think that will work for you.

  • 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)

  • Downloading entire music library from iCloud

    Is there a way to download your entire music library to a PC from iCloud without having to click "download" on every song one at a time?

    One way: in your Songs list, select all (ctrl-A), right-click and click Download in the pop-up menu.

  • Transferring iTunes music library from a mac to a PC

    Hi
    Does anyone know how i can transfer all the songs on my mac iTunes to my new windows iTunes? I followed the instructions on the msn support website but these instructions must only be for transferring the iTunes library from a mac to a mac, or from a pc to another pc, and not from a mac to pc or vice versa.
    I`ve just bought a laptop to take to university and i want to bring my music library with me.
    When i loaded up my itunes from mac onto the pc it just keeps saying windows does not recognise the type of file. Is there a way of changing the settings so that windows will recognise and run a mac file?
    If anyone knows that'd be of great help

    The music files will transfer and play without a problem.
    You will need to download a Windows version of iTunes and the iPod Updater in order to use the PC. The Mac versions will not work.
    iPod Updater
    iTunes Download Page
    There may be some problem with the Windows version of iTunes reading the Mac's iTunes Library file. This may prevent you from completely moving over some of the music meta-data from the Mac to the PC.
    There have been some posts on this, but I'll need to search for them.
    Also see this for the transfer process: Buegie, "transfering music to another pc." #4, 11:22pm Oct 14, 2005 CDT
    EDIT: Based on an old post I had copied into my "iPod Hints" file, here is how one contributer gave a high-level process:
    i 1) copy the iTunes Music folder to your Windows machine, replacing the existing folder (back up the existing one first)
    i 2) copy the iTunes Music Library.xml file to your Windows machine, and change the name to e.g. iTunesMac.xml so iTunes won't write over it.
    i 3) delete any "iTunes Library.itl" file (back up the existing one)
    i 4) run iTunes, and do File > Import... and pick iTunesMac.xml
    Hope this helps.

  • I had set up and Itunes account years ago....older Ipod.......old PC died....trying to access my old music library from my new PC after downloading software.   How do I find and access my library.  I can sink my music from my Ipod to the new PC and softwa

    I am an older novice user. I gave my Itouch to my duaghter....and took her Ipod Classic 64.....have used and played the songs but not updated in a couple years. The laptop I set the account up from died and I downlowded the new 10.6 software onto this PC. /When i signed in to my account I cannot seem to find a place to find my old library.  I had more music and movies on the library than on the Ipod classic....was hoping to find it all before i sync up again.
    Any tips on how to find or access the old library or did I lose it with the old laptop?  LOL...a confused oldie....would like tomove music to my Iphone once all is found and resumed.
    Thanks in advance for any insight or suggetions.

    The old iTunes library was lost with the old PC.  However, it all that music and content is still on your iPod there are many ways you can extract this content from the iPod and import it back into iTunes.
    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Transferring entire music library from ipod to second authorized computer

    I am writing this for my wife. She has windows machines. It seems that she can only transfer purchased songs from her ipod, not songs that she burned to her ipod from cds she owns. How can one do this? She already authorized the second computer. She has a color screen ipod with 30 gb drive.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • Uploaded entire music library from external hard driveto new iTunes account.  Only purchased music will play.  When I try to play other files, iTunes says it can't be used because original file can't be located and an exclamation point appears before song

    Please help

    You may be getting that error message if the setting 'Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library' is not turned on (in Preferences>Advanced>General).
    To sort all your songs out in one batch, my suggestion would be to remove all your songs from your iTunes library and re-import them all. However, as someone who also has a 5,000-song collection, I wouldn't want any of your songs to be deleted, so either do a backup or write-protect your iTunes music folder.
