Your library will only be where you put it.

  • My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

    Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
    You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
    If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

  • I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive.  The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive.  Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

    I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive.  The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive.  I no longer have access to the old computer.  Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

    That's a bummer, didn't realize the exHD files were corrupt, esp if you have tried from another PC and not just this new computer.
    You can get purchases from the itunes store transferred from an iPod using these directions:

    If you want everything (meaning non-itunes songs, app data, photos, etc) you need to buy a 3rd-party ipod manager that support iTouch. Here is an iLounge article to start your research:

  • I have downloaded a number of songs on my old iphone 4 but it died before i had a chance to sync with my comp. now i have a new iphone and cant down load any of the songs i once had and have paid for. any ideas??

    If you live in the US launch the iTunes store, then tap Purchases, then the "not on this phone" tab. If you don't live in the US you will have to buy them again, unless the iTunes Store support staff takes pity on you when you email them with a request for help.
    BTW, how many songs can you download between daily syncs?

    Hello, bluebelle95. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

  • Have old shuffle..can't find my itunes library!

    Have 2 issues. One, I have an old shuffle that I'd rather not change the content, just recharge it..and so it does..but..my music library never showed up and I am sure that I have downloaded itunes on this computer..and that my library showed up on it when I plugged my shuffle in the first time.BUT, I can't seem to access it on this computer. I did download itunes on this computer, but got a confusing message about damaged files...so I opted to deal with that until I talked with somebody who knows what to do.
    Issue 2
    I bought a newer shuffle...hopefully my vast itunes library still exists..I have another computer that is being revamped..so I can't homeshare it yet.. Should I go ahead and install my new shuffle and hope for the best?

    I had the same exact problem...  After several days of reading various posts and messing around with my computer, I got it to work.
    I have Norton 360 installed and discovered that a feature called Stealth Blocked Ports in the Firewall settings was on.  I turned off that feature and my ATV2 found my itune library on my computer.  My iPad2 also found my itunes library via remote app.  The stealth feature hid all available/open ports from other devices, so I guess ATV2 could not find the an open port on my computer.
    By the way my computer is connected to a wireless router via ethernet cable.
    On my laptop (wireless) ATV2 found the laptops library with no problem, the problem was with my ethernet wired desk top computer which contained my main itunes library.
    I hope this helps.

    Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned below).  For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • When I bought a new laptop and copied my entire itunes library onto my new computer, alot of my songs won't play and say "file could not be found". When I got to the itunes media folder songs I am looking for aren't there.

    Some of the songs that "can not be located" are songs that I have purchased from Itunes and when I right click on the album and go to "show in itunes store" the album shows up as purchased but there is not an option to re-downlaod it to my library again. Also, ALL of the albums that I already owned and brought into Itunes say the files "cannot be located". Please help.

    Copy them the correct way.
    Close iTunes on both computers.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder for the old computer to the new computer.
    Open iTunes on the new computer.  Everything in iTunes will be exactly as it was on the old computer.
    FYI, marking your own additional comments as "This solved my question" is a good way to get the post ignored.

  • My older classic 160GB shows up in iTunes 11 but will not sync. I have a new PC and transferred all my iTunes to it. Old was XP - new is Windows 7. Does this make a difference?

    My older classic (6 yrs or more) will not sync even though is recognized in iTunes 11. I have a new computer with Windows 7 vs my old one that had XP. Does this matter? I had my data transferred and redownloaded what did not transfer but I cannot get the new items purchased and downloaded to sync with my iPod. The data on the iPod has not changed one bit even though it shows as syncing. What do I do? The iPod works perfectly otherwise.

    Thanks planb77. Your instructions worked but I had to do a little more than you stated. I did not realize that transferring files to a new computer was not enough. When the iPod synced I was told I needed to "authorize" my new computer to get my iTunes purchases to sync to the iPod. So after the initial sync, I ejected and disconnected the iPod, went into the iTunes store, set up "home sharing" and then authorized the new computer. When that was done I reconnected the iPod and was able to sync all my books and music. The only thing I couldn't do was rename the iPod as iTunes never asked me to. Is there a way to rename it after it has been set by iTunes as "owner's iPod"?

  • Can I synch contacts and calendar with outlook on my office computer and media in family itunes library on my home computer?

    I am purchasing a iphone4s. Can I synch contacts and calendar with outlook on my office computer and media in my family itunes library on my home computer?  If so, how?

    I'm having the same issue. Upgraded my 3G to OS4 which wiped out my contacts from the phone. I also use CompanionLink (Express) to sync ATC with Outlook and iTunes and the phone. Have spent hours/days on the phone with second level Apple tech support to no avail. CompanionLink IS syncing with Outlook but Outlook isn't syncing with the phone. Have tried syncing to Outlook directly (without CompanionLink) but no good result. Tried syncing through MobilMe. Can sync all Outlook contacts from my computer to me.com through MobileMe but does not sync with the phone. Tech support suggested trying to sync fewer contacts at a time as their might be a problem with the contacts file. DID manage to get 4000 of my 5600 contacts back in but can't get any more in. Previously had NO problem syncin all contacts directly and through CompanionLink. VERY frustrating.
    Also, I use Outlook Express for email. Since installing MobileMe I get an error message saying that Outlook isn't my default mail handler and I need to change the settings to make it the default mail handler. I DO NOT have "sync mail" checked as I'm not trying to sync my email accounts...only contacts and calendars. Made Outlook the default mail handler which stops the error message but still can't sync the contacts and I want to keep Outlook Express for email.

  • Computer can't find exsisting iTunes library any longer

    I use a 500 Gig external harddrive for all of my media, both iTunes and other media. In a moment of stupidity I disconnected the USB from the computer evidently with iTunes running and later after I tried to plug it back it the computer is not finding any of the media. It still lists them in the library but when I click on it to play it will not find the file to play.
    The files are still intact on the external hard drive. I disconnected it agian, properly this time, and when I manually open the folders and double-click them it will play the songs.
    My thought was with the external drive disconnected delete all of the files within my iTune's library since it can't find them. Then re-import them from the iTune's library on the external drive.
    Would this work the way I think it should?
    Would this cause any problems with any iPod's currently being sync'ed with this account.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    When you disconnect a drive that you have chosen as your location for storing your music, and then open iTunes, because it can't find your chosen folder it will switch to the default location which is in the iTunes folder.
    To switch it back - open iTunes Preferences/Advanced/General and navigate to the music folder on your external drive.
    Regards

  • I recently lost iphone4s and it was in the cloud had pics on it and was not found i have a new device and cant seem to get those photos to this new device

    I cant seem to the get the previous pictures off of the other device, shouldn't they be able to transfer throught the cloud

    If you had Photo Stream enabled on the 4S that was lost, turning on Photo Stream with your iCloud account settings on your new iOS device should download all photos currently available in your iCloud Photo Stream.
