  • How can I get my Music Library on my new laptop?

    The old computer I had iTunes on crashed, and I can't use it anymore. I have purchased a new laptop, and I would like all of my music back. How can I transfer my iTunes music library to my new laptop? I tried to sync my iPhone to my new laptop, but it says that it would have to erase and sync, because it can only be synced with one iTunes library at one time. Have I just lost all the music I had?

    iTunes purchases can be redownloaded.
    Computer: Open iTunes Store and click on Purchased in the Quick Links section on the right.
    iOS: Open the iTunes Store app > More > Purchased
    Non-iTunes purchases will be lost.
    If you didn't have your music backed up then you would need third party software such as  TouchCopy to transfer your music back to your computer so you can add it to iTunes and sync.

  • I can't get move my library to a new computer?

    So I got a new computer for my birthday, and I've redownloaded all of my old programs and everything, but there's one problem. I can't figure out how to get my iTunes library onto this computer. I put in the same apple I.D. in on iTunes, and nothing happens. Is there a certain process I have to go through? Please, help. I would like all my music and apps again.

    Move it from the old computer or click here and follow the instructions.

  • Can't get my music from ipod onto new computer?

    So my iPod has been synced to our desktop, and I have bought some music from my ipod that is not on the desktop. But now i have a new computer and i want my music from my ipod, not the desktop, on the itunes on the new computer, but transfer purchases isn't working. So.. is there a way to transfer from the ipod on to the new itunes? Or can someone at the genius bar do that for me?
    -Thanks

    First of, in iTunes, select "Store" in the menu and authorize the computer.
    Then, when your iPhone is connected right click on it and select "Transfer Purchases", this should move your content from your iPhone to your computer.

    This method would lose ratings, play counts, playlists, date added, etc. and any device synced with the current library would see this as a "new" library and consequently iTunes would want to erase and reload all content.

  • HT203167 lost my hard drive how can i get songs from ipod back to new computer

    I lost my hard drive and want to get my music back on my new computer. How can I get songs from my ipod to my computer? I am afraid to sync it and losing what is on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

    I have deauthorization all accounts so I could put my library on my new computer. How can I get my library on this computer?

    If you still have your content on an old computer then you can copy it over from there (you will need to reauthorise that computer) - there are a number of methods that you could use e.g. home sharing, an external drive etc : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Or you could copy it from your backup, or depending upon which country that you are in (and whether the content is still available in the store) then you might be able to re-download some/all of it : re-downloading.

    iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

  • How do I get my iTunes library onto my new computer when my old computer died?

    How can I upload my iTunes library onto my new computer from my iPod or iPad? our old computer died and now I cannot move my iTundes library from my iPod or iPhone onto the new iTunes. Anyone have a workaround for this?

    It depends on what you mean by "died".
    If the old computer is a Mac, you can try starting it up in "Target Disk Mode" - it doesn't attempt to start up like a computer, it pretends to be an external hard drive so it might work even if your old computer still has power (even if it's otherwise unusable). You then use a firewire cable (or or firewire to thunderbolt adapter) to plug the old computer into the new one, and can copy the music off the old hard drive.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
    Or, if you're handy with a screwdriver, open up the old computer and take the old hard drive out. How easy that is depends on what model computer it is. You can then pop the hard drive into an "external enclosure" (about $20 from any computer parts store), plug that into your new computer's USB port and copy away - and you even get to keep using the old hard drive as an external hard drive. But that's assuming it really is the computer that "died" and not the hard drive itself.
    Finally, if it's the hard drive in the old computer that died, but the computer itself is still good, you can try using a utility like DiskWarrior or TechTools Pro to try to recover the old hard drive, then use one of the above methods.
    if you want to copy the music directly from you ipod, you can try these instructions - How to transfer music from an iPod to your computer | How To - CNET

    Put the hard drive from your old computer in an external drive bay and extract the library from it, or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How can I move my iTunes library to a new computer?

    I have got a new computer, and wish to move my itunes library and sync to my new computer, without installing touchcopy or any third party software. Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks.

    Use Migration Assstant to move all content from an old computer to a new.
    For iTunes alone:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 
    Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
    If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
