I put my music (all my own CDs) from my home computer onto my iPhone. I would like to upload that music to my office computer. Not having any luck. Worried about losing it.
Music from my CDs on my home computer- put that on my iPhone. Now want to put that on my office computer. Having trouble, don't want to lose anything. What should I do?
Best option is to use a secure backup solution on your home computer. To transfer from iPod to computer you would need to use a 3rd party tool such as TouchCopy (many alternates are available).

I have an old PC running Vista. On that machine, in iTunes, I copied ALL my CD's. I now have a new machine running windows 8.1. I would like to transfer that music on to the new machine in iTunes. Please help.

I would like to upload my music library from my PC to the Cloud through iTunes Match. I also will be purchasing a Mac in the near future and would like to download some of that music from iCloud to my Mac. Will I have compatability problems?
You should have no problems. To add a second computer or device to iTunes Match, see:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

I recently replaced the hard drive in my computer. I am afraid to download and reinstall itunes again because I worry about losing all the music I had on my iPod Nano. Any suggestions for solutions?
The dragging does not work:
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discused here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to your compouter and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Nothe that the backup that iTunees makes does not include synced media like apps nd music. -
Can anyone help me with process of moving only my pics and music (purchased and imported cds) from a old G5 to a new iMac. Thanks Dan
The easiest way is to connect the G5 and your new iMac together via Firewire. Then you can use what is called "Target Disk Mode" which basically makes the G5 look like an external hard drive to your iMac. The potential gotcha is if your new iMac does not have a Firewire port. In that case, you need to get the Apple Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter in order to connect the two machines (as far as I know, all G5's had one or more Firewire ports). I have done this many times, it's easy and works perfectly.
Alternatively, you could connect both Macs to the same network and log into the G5 from your iMac. This involves going into System Preferences > Sharing on the G5 and turning on File Sharing and then logging in from your iMac to the G5 as if it were a server. (Logging in through the Finder or via Go > Connect to Server). This also works fine but it's a little more involved than using Target Disk Mode. I do this all the time and it too works fine.
Either way, once the two Macs are connected, you will use the Finder on your iMac to copy files/folders from your G5 the same as you would from any external hard drive. Regarding iTunes, you could just copy your entire iTunes library over to your iMac being careful to put it in the same relative folder location: /users/yourusername/Music/iTunes This method will preserve your playlists and album art. Alternatively you could go into iTunes and do Add to Library but I'm not completely sure doing it that way will bring over your album art and it certainly won't bring over your playlists.
I see no reason to use a separate external hard drive. It will just double the time it takes to transfer your files because you would first have to copy everything to the hard drive, then in a second step copy everything from the hard drive to your iMac.
Note: In all cases there is the possibility that you may need to change file & folder permissions on the things you copy over so you can access (read & write) to these folders & files once copied to your new iMac. This is not a difficult process. -
I have just purchased a new ipad2 to replace my old ipad. How do i sync all the data in my apps I am worried about losing my data?
iPad settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party party app along with app settings are included with the iPad's backup along with other data.
If you are syncing your iPad direct with iTunes on your computer via USB, the iPad's backup is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
The first time you connect a new iPad or iOS device to iTunes that is used to sync with another iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iOS device to the new device. This is followed by a sync to transfer the same content from your computer that is on the old iPad to the new iPad such as music, movies, tv shows, 3rd party apps, photos, audio and print books, etc. -
I sync my iphone with my office computer, but what I really would like to do is syncing only the calendars (because my secretary uses them to set up new apppointments), but syncing all the rest on my home computer. Is it possible without losing apps or music?
Although not recommended, yes.
Disable automatic syncing when the iPhone is connected with iTunes on each computer.
The only item you will have selected for syncing with iTunes on your computer at work will be Calendars, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Nothing else will be selected under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer at work. You will get a warning message that your iPhone is associated with another iTunes library on a different computer which you can ignore when syncing calendars/calendar events only with iTunes on your computer at work. -
I would like to download my music from my iPod touch to iTunes library, is that possible? Our old computer fried and we were unable to salvage any information. All of the music that I downloaded from CD's is not in iTunes on our new computer. Will I have to reload all CD's?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, then you will need to rip the dvds again -
I would like to transfer the music that is already on my iPod touch to a new computer. At present, my iPod touch is not recognised on the new computer. How do I resolve that so I can literally connect it to my new computer and transfer all my music? Any help is much appreciated.

It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

Can I gift my own album on itunes? Im an artist and would like to give my music to a few people for free
I would presume you can pay and gift the album as you would any other album, even though the album is your own. Not having any content in the iTunes Store, though, I haven't tried it. You probably can't gift it at no charge to yourself, though, if that's what you mean. I'm not aware of any program in the iTunes Store where you get "gratis" codes you can give out. If you want to give your music to a few people free to both them and you, you'll proably need to get the music to them in some other way.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
