I think I wiped out my library switching to a new computer.

I downloaded iTunes onto my new computer, plugged in my iPod and got my podcasts transferred by all of my music is wiped out.  Including purchases.

Basically, just copy the iTunes music folder to the new computer from the backup drive.

  • I think i wiped out my library!!

    help! i think i wiped out my iTunes library when trying to make space on my very old MacBook! No laughs please!!!

    You don't see a bunch of files and folders in an iTunes folder in your Music folder?
    Pull it back out of the trash.  Restore it from a backup.  There's not much we can do without you being proactive and telling us what you did and what resources you have.

  • Apple TV purchases - will they get wiped out by a sync to a new computer?

    Ok, here's my issue: I've got an Apple TV, currently synced to an old and near-inoperable computer, through which I've bought several movies which, given the state of my old computer, only reside on the Apple TV.
    I'm hoping to sync the Apple TV to my new computer which I understand will wipe out the old content on the Apple TV that was synced from the old one. I'm OK with this. But my concern is for the movies bought through the Apple TV - will these also be wiped out when I do the sync to the new computer? I'm hoping not of course.
    Thanks for all tips and pointers.

    Replying to my own question for the sake of anyone looking for this answer in the future. Got impatient and went ahead and disconnected Apple TV from the old computer and synced it to my new one. All purchased movies were preserved - didn't have to do anything, Apple TV just held on to them and has now allowed me to pass them over to the new computer.

  • I want to take remote access from an iTunes library off of my iPad ...when I hit edit from the remote app it pulls that library up ..if I delete it I just want to make sure that I'm not remotely wiping out the library, just access to it from my iPad ?

    Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

  • My husband wiped out the library on his itunes account and replaced it with mine.  Any ideas on how to get it back?  Our laptop does not have his library either.  only mine.

    How exactly did this happen? Were you using separate iTunes libraries on separate user accounts on the laptop?

  • I switched to a new computer...

    After switching to a new computer, I was successful in moving my music library to the new computer, but after I purchased some music I could no longer access my music.  It is giving me an error message that it cannot locate the original file.  Also, apple sent me a message informing me that music had been purchased from a different machine using my account number (which of course, I already knew.)  Any ideas how to successfully make the transition to a new computer without problems?

    How do I access and use my Itunes library from a different/new computer?  My computer is no longer working, so I need to be able to access my library from my wife's computer.

    Your library will only be where you put it.  Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.
    You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • HT201272 None of my previously purchased TV shows show up in the Library. This is new computer. I have deauthorized previous computers and authorized this one. Why aren't TV shows that I purchased showing up?

    No previously purchaesd TV shows are shown in the library. This is new computer, old one bit the dust. De-authorized all old computers. Authorized new one. Music shows up but not TV Shows I already bought. Any help?

    I should have mentined that none of my previous TV Show purchases show up in the purchased sub heading. The Music is there but no TV Shows. I am most interested in recovering Doctor Who Season 7.1, 7.2 and Christmas Specials. The rest I am not as concerned about.

  • PSE 6 switching to a new computer - any way to import albums and tag/label heirarchies?

    I've just switched to a new computer and have copied and imported all my photos over to it. When I imported the photos using PSE6, I lost all the heirarchies of tags/labels (e.g., people not in the people category, ditto for places, animals, etc.). Also, I've lost all my albums. Is there a way to export/import this information from my old computer before it goes to the recycling bin?
    TIA for any help.

    > My original attempt to move files included using the Folder Location tree and moving the main photo directory from one drive to another. That copied all the files over, but resulted in all the photos showing up as missing in the catalog.
    That is not good moving within Folder Location view should not produce missing files. This suggests you may have encountered one of the PSE bugs in handling hard drives.
    I recommend letting this first attempt at doing a restore complete and then thoroughly testing it. Do File > Reconnect > All Missing to see if there are any missing files. Try viewing a number of your files in the Organizers full screen. And try importing a few dummy photos from the old drive to make sure you can have photos stored on both the old and new drives.
    > it appears that all the files are going in without any subdirectories
    There are options you can set in the File > Restore Catalog command that control how folders are restored. See this Adobe tech note:

    Assuming that your test above works ok, then you can redo the restore using the desired options.

  • Please help! I think I wiped out 7 years of calendar entries!

    Thanks for your time!  I have been keeping very detailed notes day to day for the past seven plus years.  Lately, I've done most of my entries right on my Laptop (Macbook Pro - OS 10.4.11.)
    My Palm Tungsten T2 would NOT charge more than 1/4 of the way after many hours. I did a hard reset and wiped out all my data on the handheld.
    When I went to Hot sync, it kept saying "identifying user."  Then it would NOT sync.  I played with the conduit settings - but had no luck making it work.
    That's when I did something very foolish.
    I set just the calendar conduit setting (the most important one to me) to:
    "handheld over rides MacIntosh" 
    Bad idea.
    Since the handheld was blank, it wiped out my Calendar on the laptop.
    (Noooooo!!!!!)
    Please tell me there is SOME kind of back-up of some sort.
    Thank you so much.
    Michael
    Post relates to: Tungsten T2

    If this is an iCloud calendar, and the calendar entries were still on your iPhone when you last backed it up to iCloud, it may be possible to restore them from the iCloud backup.  Doing this is a bit tricky, and you'll have to follow the process outlined here to do so: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.  This was written as a process to restore contacts, but the process is the same for iCloud calendars (just substitute calendars for contacts).

  • IPod nano content wiped out when I charged my battery on computer. Any way of retrieving tunes?

    IPOd Nano content, including all my tunes, was wiped out after I charged the battery on my computer.  Any way of retrieving the content?

    Isn't the content that was stored on the Nano still in your iTunes library?  If so, simply resync it back over to your device as usual.
    If it's no longer in iTunes, you'll need to either redownload the content from the iTunes or rerip this music into iTunes.

  • How do I get back the old songs that were wiped out on my Ipod, when the new songs were downloaded?

    I recently had to have everything on my harddrive moved to an external harddrive by the Geek Squad. Subsequent to that, I purchased six new songs from Itunes, and downloaded them to my Ipod. When I did that, all 126 of my old songs were wiped out. However, Itunes still shows all of the old, as well as the new songs. How can I access the "older" songs so that I can then add them back to the newer songs?

    Hey LiLi521,
    I found a few articles that can help you out. Depending on what version of iTunes you're using, check out either:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
    or for older versions:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351
    You can set up your iPod for automatic or manual syncing, and depending on which option you choose the process will be different. Either route you choose, by following those directions you should be able to get both your older songs and the newly purchased ones onto your iPod.
    Hope this helps,
    David

  • New Computer - How do I move my library from Old to New Computer?

    Hi,
    I bought a new computer and want to transfer all my music from the old one to the new one.
    This is what I did so far:
    Copied the entire iTunes directory from my old computer into an external hard drive.
    Then loaded the entire iTunes folder from the hard Drive to the existing iTunes directory in the new Laptop.
    Now, none of the songs showed up in my iTunes Library screen.
    So I had to basically drag them from windows explorer into the iTunes Library screen. However, none of the album artwork, or ratings, etc, are there (i copied all those files from old to new computer as they were in the original directories in my old computer, I think)... It looks like i'll have to do all that work again!
    Is there a way to do this one shot??
    Thanks!
    RJ.

    Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to the folder you copied.
