I got a new PC Windows 8...downloaded iTunes--and half of my music library is missing.

I got a new HP with Windows 8, installed iTunes and half of my music library is missing. Please advise. Thanks.

Did you copy your library from your old computer, or backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I have a pc and recently bought an older mac pro - probably 2009 model. I cannot seem to get my library from Itunes to open on the Mac like it does on the PC when I bought a new one I just downloaded Itunes and my whole library came up.

I can't seem to get my Itunes Library to come up on my Mac. When I bought a new PC last year I just downloaded Itunes and all of my previous library came in but that isn't happening with my Mac Pro. Is there an easy way to do that?

Have you copied your content from your other computer?

Had to reinstall my operating system, so basically i got a new computer...reinstalled itunes and now my iphone 4 will not sync. it connects, then backs up then starts sync and says "cannot connect because there is not enough free space on the phone."

There is enough spacde on my phone. It is the exact same itunes library because i saved all my music before i reinstalled windows. So i just put all the music back onto itunes. It asked me if i wanted to erase and sync because it was a "new computer" and i said yes because it is all the same music so it should just re sync all the same stuff. But it wont do it. It just keeps saying there is not enough space on the phone, and my phone has 5 GB left on it.

Maybe iTunes is calculating it like this:
5 GB left, but if you sync your music (from the new PC) to it it will be full. It's maybe syncing the new content and then deleting the old music.
Try this: Deselect "Music-Syncing" and let him delete the music from your iPhone. (the other stuff, photos, cal, contacts should stay untoucht if you don't deselect it) After iTunes deleted the music from your iPhone (by letting the other stuff untouched) try to reselect "Music-Syncing" and iTunes will sync your music to your iPhone.

I just got a new computer. I downloaded Itunes. I want to put my songs on my new computer from my iphone 4S. It will let me back up my phone on the computer, but none of my songs are showing up. How do i get them on my new computer?

Help. my whole story is pretty much my question. I've tried everything.

I am getting a new laptop, will my photo stream delete itself once I delete iTunes from my computer? And will it automatically come up on my new laptop when I download iTunes and sign in?

TS1584 I had my iTunes libray on my old PC, just transferred to my new PC, downloaded iTunes, and my library is there, but can't play songs, says can't locate original files?

I had my iTunes library on my old Dell Inspiron, transferred all info to my new HP Pavilion PC, downloaded iTunes and my library is there, but when I try to play songs, it says can't play because can't locate the original files...how can I activate the songs to play? The iTunes library is also in my Windows media file, and the songs will play in there, but I set iTunes as my default music manager and want the songs activated in my iTunes library so I can play them and sync my iPod. Help? Thanks.

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

I just got a new computer. I have downloaded iTunes and authorized it. It shows my apps and music but says something about "downloading all". Do I have to download everything on to this new computer or is it already in there? I need to sync my iPad too.

I just got a new computer. I have downloaded ITunes and authorized it. It shows my apps and music, but says something about "downloading all". Do I have to download everythingon to this new computer or is it already in there? I also have an iPad that I need to sync. Is there anything special I need to do with the new computer before syncing the iPad?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Your past purchases are not on the computer. By choosing download all, those purchases will download to the computer.
Once authorized to your iTunes account you can control the computer.
When syncing the iPad the first time you will get the warning " this iPad is synced with another computer, syncing will erase all contents and replace with the contents of this computer"
Say yes, this is what you wan to do.

If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account.
