I got a new computer..how do I get my library to new iTunes

I got a new computer for Christmas. I clicked on home sharing so I can see my library from the old computer and after we finish getting info from that computer to this one, it will be garbage. So I just imported a CD into my iTunes library on this new computer, so that is really my first content in this library. When I click on sync to my iPhone, it says it will have to erase all of the songs from my first computer. HELP! I don't want to lose all of that music, especially since I paid for it all. Am I missing something? I can't be ther first person to get a new computer.

Okay so I'm sort of related to this topic. My desktop dies before xmas and just got a new hp. I install itunes, set up my account back on it, and authorize my new computer. So I hook up my old hard drive and dump the old files into the new folder and everything seems fine but last night I open itunes to update my ipod touch and iphone and there's doubles of all the songs and movies and the is a exclamation point to some of them. So what do i do now? How do I delete the ones giving me trouble. Or is there a way to delete everything and start over? Thanks for the help in advance and happy new year all.

OK...
See Here for one way
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
Or...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

HT2305 i have windows 8 i want to down load i tunes to my new computer.How do I get the update for my itune windows 8

I have windows 8 and want to to down load itunes to my new computer how do i do it

You do not. There is currently no publicly available version of iTunes for Windows 8.

My computer recently crashed. I had everything on an externa drive. I'm trying to reload my music into itunes from my external drive. I do not have an itunes library document for some reason. How do I get my library back onto itunes?

I'm trying to figure out how to access my music library from my external drive. I do not have a media library document and believe that I would have to create one based on the music that is on my external drive. Can someone help?

If you're running Windows 8.1, this seems to be a common theme, or some variation there of at least. Myself, I can't even back-up on my iPhone 4S which has iOS 7.1.2 and I'm running iTunes 11.3.0.54 and have resorted to purchased the iTunes Match service to ensure that music on my primary desktop PC (which is paired to my iPhone) will be available on both the iPhone and my Windows 8.1 laptop. Regarding backing up of the iPhone, I'm thinking about going to a third party solution until either Apple and/or Microsoft can figure out why Windows 8.1 is having so many problems with the current version of iTunes (as of this writing 11.3.0.54).

How do I get my library back to Itunes... it is stuck in my harddrive

After my computer guy took down my computer to fix it, I discovered my whole itunes library stored in the hard drive. Good news, except that I cannot figure out how to import the library to itunes. Apple already re-importedall my purchased items, so I am worried about doubling up... should I delete everything here now, then somehow upload from my hard drive file? How do I do that? Thanks for any help!!!

Depending upon the available ports on your MBP you will need an adapter and an HDMI cable to connect to your TV (unless it is an older model).
These are example of an adapter and an HDMI cable:

http://eshop.macsales.com/item/MISC/CBLHDMI1406/
One can find a single cable that combines the two.
Since you have not indicated what MBP you have and the TV connections that are available, these may or may not be applicable in your situation.

I got a new itunes account through my iphone but i still have all my music on my iphone but when i go to itunes its not there anymore, how do i get all my music from my phone to my computer??

i just got a new itunes acount because my other one wasnt working and it was fine i still had all my music on my phone, but then i had to restart my whole laptop back to the way it was when i first bought it because it was so slow, so when i downloaded itunes back and signed in none of my music was there. how do i download all my music from my iphone 5 to my laptop

I would not suggest starting anew AppleID as you will have problems with previous purchases.

How doesn't it work?
so when i downloaded itunes back and signed in none of my music was there.
Because it is part of your old AppleID (and your library does not just magically appear).
Did you make a backup of your HD?
jhow do i download all my music from my iphone 5 to my laptop
Authorize your computer for your old AppleID then File > Devices, select your device then Transfer purchases.
I highly suggest you sort out the issue with your old AppleID and continue to use that. Remove your personal info from the new AppleID and don't use it.

Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?

I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?

For photos synced from your computer ( photo library pics) you don't. The photo sync is one way - computer to ipod.
You need to move the pics from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer. You could e-mail them to yourself. They will not be of the original resolution.
For pics taken with ipod ( Camera Roll Pics), then you import them as you would from any digital camera.

I got my husbands library from his old iphone to my computer, but how do i get my library to his iphone

i got my husbands library to my library on my computer ,, but how do i get my library to his old iphone

This is the method I would normally recommend:
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.
You can use your iPod classic to move your library to a new computer but if you don't already have a backup copy of the library (and your other important data) now is the time to think about it.

HT1364 I recently got a new laptop but I can't retrieve my iTunes folder from my old pc, how do I get my library on my new laptop as I don't want to set up a new one.

I recently had to buy a new laptop as my pc no longer worked. I can't get my iTunes media folder off my old pc so how do I get my library onto my new laptop as I don't want to create a new library and erase everything off my iPhone.

There is no such thing as a "sub-account." Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account." Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases. iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account). You'll need to clarify...
So, this is what I think you are saying. You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend. Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library.
You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library. Is that on a different computer? How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library. Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists. Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

How do i get my library from my phone to my new computer? I no longer have access to the old computer. When I try to sync it says it will erase everythiong from my phone.

How do I get my library from my phone to my new computer? I no longer have access to the old computer and when I try to sync my music, it says it will erase everything on my phone. My itunes library is not showing up when I sign into the new computer. Its not even showing any downloads.

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Transfer Purchases.
