I can't transfer my entire music library

I just bought a new ipod touch ( my old one broke down) and i am trying to transfer everything from the old onto the new one. Now everything worked except for the music library. Everytime i try to synchronize there is always just a part that is being transferred. ( while i do select every track : --> Ipod van.....--> music--> entire music library .)
I hope you can help me....
thanks a lot

Are some songs Checked/Unchecked? Try deselecting Sync only checked songs

After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

You have two separate questions here...
To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches.

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)

Help: failed iBook, how can I transfer safely my music library to a new Mac

My iBook display won't work anymore and also connecting an external monitor does not help. Probably the graphic card has failed and the repair is not worth. I will most likely buy a new iMac in the next days.
Now the problem. How can I get all my iPod music and playlists to the new iMac.
I have my 20+ Gbyte of music on the iPod and (fortunately) the library is on an external hard disc.
The iPod is in autosync with the iBook.
HOWEVER the music library database file and .xml file are still on the iBook, so I will probably not be able to recover them anymore!
The question is:
- is there a way to copy the music from the external hard disk to the new Imac AND re-sync the iPod to the new iMac without loosing the song ratings, playlists etc.?
- I know there are third-party applications to copy music/playlists from the iPod itself, but I have been discouraged as the massive copy operation could damage the iPod hard-disk.
Hence I would prefer to recover the music files from the external hard disk.
I know I could simply import the music in the new iTunes installation from the hard disk, but in this way I would have to scratch the iPod and re-associate it with the new iTunes, loosing all playlists and songs ratings.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hey- I'm in a little different position, but thought that whoever answers the above poster's questions probably knows the answer to mine too.
I have all my songs on an external hard drive which my computer has been having trouble recognizing. Therefore, I can't access my songs. Am I understanding the original poster above correctly that I have to purchase some 3rd party software to transfer those songs from my iPod back to my iBook?

How can I play my entire music library in MediaSour

I have a very simple but essential question regarding the Creative MediaSource Player. I would like to be able to simply click a track in my music library and have it play from there through the rest of my library until I tell it not to. However, short of dumping my entire libary into a playlist (which makes my computer upset) I do not see an option to do this.
Can anyone offer me help on this one? It seems so basic (iTunes works like this) and yet I can't find anything on it....

While backup up to a cloud service (iCloud, Google, Amazon, Microsoft OneDrive, ...) is possible, most people still seem to prefer using a suitable external drive for this. Even though iTunes Match provides a service to store your library online, its neither designed nor suitable as a reliable backup. A cloud backup is either going to be replicated to a local disc anyway, or would be far slower that physical storage for backup and retrieval - plus you might want or need to restore from a backup when your internet connection is down. Sufficient cloud storage for even a moderately large library is going to be expensive!
See turingtest2's user tip on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suitable/recommended method.

How can I sync my entire music library, but not my playlist?

I usually purchase everything directly from my ipod and I use the "purchased" playlist alot to keep track of recent songs. I found that when I sync it deletes it. Is there any way to sync the library without changing the playlists on my ipod?

Just what is deleted when you sync?
Try just transfering purchases and not syncing

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.

If you are running an OS of 5.0 or higher, you should be able to use the iCloud to sync both devices together & share music.

I have songs on my iPod Touch that I want to transfer to my music library. I can "see" my songs in the library under the iPod tab, but not in my general music library.

1) From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

HT4527 I have my entire music library (purchased and burnt CD's) on my iPod Touch from one computer and I wanted to sync it all to my new computer. I was hoping it would all transfer via sync when I plugged it in but it doesn't seem to work. Please help?!

Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

I just accidentally wiped out my entire music library. How can I get apple to help me download the purchased songs again? The songs went to my recycle bin and I immediately restored them but the files seem to have dissappered!

I just accidentally wiped out my entire music library. I sent everything to recycling bin and then immediately hit restore all items as I knew what I had just done. Now I can find where those files went. Is there anyway Apple can just send me my purchased songs again?

I have an ancient laptop (from 2005) that has my entire music library. This laptop barely works and some keys don't type anymore. How can I get all this music transferred to another computer, or available to me on the cloud?

No... do not move programs.
About the iTunes library files
Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
