I need to transfer my music copied from CDs to my new computer. Can I do this without copying to a flash drive?

I have a combination of purchased and copied (from purchased CDs) of well over 1000 songs . I just got a new computer and want to transfer the music files to the new computer. Is there a "cloud" I can use instead of painstakingly copying from old computer to flash drive, etc.? I don't want to lose those songs when I purchase new songs and plug the IPod in to an existing device.

You can transfer the entire iTunes library over a home network.

    Need to transfer all my photos from iPhoto app in my computer to another one, which files do I need to copy?

    You need to find your iPhoto Library and copy this package to your other computer.
    By default the library will be called iPhoto Libary.photolibrary and located in your Pictures folder. YOu will recognize it by the typical "fan of pictures" icon. The color of the icon wil depend on the iPhoto version. What is your version of iPhoto?

    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy?
    If so, then you can buy a third party program to extract the music not purchased from itunes.
    Itunes purchases can be transferred to your computer:  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • After successfully importing my bookmarks through Firefox Sync from my old to new computer, can I purge the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new

    I want to upgrade my computer and did a Windows Easy Transfer to my new one. My Firefox bookmarks did not show up on my new computer so I used Firefox Sync-which worked fine. Now that I have the bookmarks on the new computer, can I erase the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new one.

    First, disconnect your old computer from Firefox Sync so you don't accidentally delete the data from sync, but then yes you should be good to go.

  • I want to transfer music from my ipod to a new computer can I do this?

    can I transfer music from my ipod touch to a new computer? 

    Sort of... but the best bet is to transfer/copy your entire iTunes media folder from your old computer to your new computer.  Otherwise you may not get all your media copied.
    iDevices are not backups, they are simply mirrors of what exists in your iTunes library.

  • Transfer playlists and content from iPod Touch to new computer

    I was trying to search for old answers on this topic, but instead the system is forcing me to create a new post. 
    My old laptop crashed, and the backup I had of my iTunes was outdated.  I have more current music and playlists on my iPod Touch than are available to back up from my external hard drive, including a playlist I created for my dad's funeral.  I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE IT.  I spent hours and hours creating it, and ripping music for it, and facing losing it if I sync my iPod really hurts.  I am afraid to connect my iPod Touch to my new laptop for fear of losing that playlist and the music I ripped from his CD collection to create it.   
    Can someone please help me to back up my content, including my playlists and rippled music (and ideally apps and other content) from my iPod Touch to the new laptop?  (I also have voice mails in an app on my iPod from a friend who died shortly after my dad, and I don't want to risk losing those, either, as they are the only way I have of hearing his voice.)
    Again, because my old laptop crashed between backups, I do not have the option of backing up the iTunes data from the old computer and transferring it that way.  I have to get it off the Touch somehow and get it back into iTunes on the new laptop.
    (I hate Apple for making what should be super easy so hard!  Why is data transfer one-way only, from computer to device?  And how can I be certain my iPod Touch won't be erased and set to the content on the computer if I connect it??)
    Thank you to anyone who can help me!

  • How may I prevent loss of Music - not from iTunes - on a new computer?

    The original iTunes Library I had for my iPod Touch was on a computer that has broken down.
    I am concerned about what I'm reading in the iTunes HELP files, because I see no way to prevent loss of my non-purchased (at least from iTunes) music when syncing with a newly authorized computer. I do not have all of the original CDs anymore for most of this music.
    I have just installed iTunes on this new computer & wish to save ALL current iPod Touch content into this new and empty iTunes Library!  What must I do to save my non-purshased content?
    I did just do a BACKUP of my iPod contents but have stopped there, not knowing if it will contain everything...  What now?
    THANKS!

    Well, I really do appreciate your input Kappy.  When it comes to doing backups, your info is correct and, in general, very helpful.  I am suspicious, however if it will actually have any bearing on the iTunes interaction and what iTunes will allow me to place into the new library.
    As for iTunes and what it will allow - or not allow, I'm not sure that the backup will allow me to slip it into the library per se.  I thinking that it's an iTunes issue instead of a backup issue, but maybe not...
    If I had any other model than a Touch, I believe I could use the iPod as a hard drive and transfer accordingly, but having a Touch, I do think my original question remains unanswered.
    Thanks again!

  • How do I transfer my iPhoto library from iPhone to my new computer?

    How do I transfer my iPhoto library from iPhone to my computer?
    My photos that I lost from my computer at the weekend are still on my iphone but I don't want to lose them and would like them back on my computer.
    Help very welcome.

    The photo sync is one way only - computer to iphone.
    Copy them from your backup copy of your computer.
    When pics are synced to iphone they are reduced in size/quality.  You can e-mail them to yourself, but they will never be of the original quality.
