If I download Itunes on a new computer, how do I sync it with my Itunes account

I have Itunes and my library on my laptop.  I bought a new desktop and downloaded Itunes.  When I log in to Itunes, shouldn't it automatically pull up my library since I am using the same account?

Hi mhollandhaven,
If you are having issues transferring your iTunes content to a new computer, you may find the following article helpful, in particular the portion about Home Sharing:

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    Or better yet, if you still have access to the old computer, use one of the method described in this article copy everything from the old PC to the new one.

  • Trying to download from ipod to new computer and it keeps coming up with alternative apple id

    trying to upload from ipod to new computer and my work id comes up instead of home id have never taken ipod to work so why is this happening and how do i correct it

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • New computer how do i sync my existing apps and songs to itune library

    Hi my computer crashed with my itunes library so i got a new labtop and authorized the use of my i phone but i tried to sync my songs that are saved on  my phone to the itunes library but i ended up loosing most of my songs????? is there any way i can import my apps and songs that are on my phone to the itunes library without loosing them????

    1. Disable automatic syncing on connection: iTunes Prefs > Devices > Disable....
    2. Connect phone
    3. Right-click the divice tab on left border of iTunes window and select "Transfer Purchases."  This will transfer all apps and iTunes purchased music and media to the iTunes library on the new computer.
    4, It's now safe to sync.
    Note that this does not transfer music and media not obtained from the iTunes store (i.e. your own CDs).  These will get deleted from the phone when you sync.

  • New computer, how can I sync my old published iWeb page with new compuer?

    I had my old macbook stolen a year ago in Italy. I created and published an iWeb page to .mac on that computer. My problem is that I cannot figure out how I can sync my old page on .mac to my new computer so that I can continue to use it and upload pics. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hello,
    and welcome the Apple iWeb Discussion Forum.
    Basically you can't figure it out because there is no way to get published pages back into iWeb. iWeb lacks of any html import feature. The only thing you can do is rebuild it by copying and pasting content from the published one to the rebuilt in iWeb. However for photopages that isn't a good idea, it's better to rebuild them from scratch (iPhoto).
    Be sure to make a backup of the domain.sites2 file (where iWeb stores) its files from time to time

  • I downloaded an audiobook to my computer but now cannot sync it with my IPod.  How do I get it over to my Ipod?

    How do I get the downloaded audiobook from my computer library over to my IPod?  It's not their even after I sync the Ipod.  Help!!

    It's not their even after I sync the Ipod.
    If you want to use automatic syncing (not the manual method), you need to set up syncing for audiobooks.
    Select the iPod in iTunes (click the "device button" on the horizontal bar in iTunes 12).  On the iPod's Summary settings screen, in the sidebar, under Settings, click Audiobook.  To the right, check the box for Sync Audiobooks, and set up the iPod's Audiobooks settings screen to tell iTunes how to sync audiobooks to the iPod.  Then click Apply.
    NOTE:  If you use the manual method to load songs on the iPod, you do not want to set up automatic syncing.  You probably want to also load audiobooks manually.  Please reply back if this is your situation.

  • I just bought a new netbook, and installed itunes on it. how can i sync it with my previous account from my previous laptop?

    i wonder how i could move my account on from my old laptop (with all it's apps) to the new one, so i could easily sync my iphone to the new laptop.

    Your account is just a user names and password.  You can log into your account from any computer with itunes.
    Are you talking about your itunes library ( music. apps, movies,etc)?
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
