Import from ipad to new itunes

I have a new computer, PC and installed itunes. How can I import all music, photo and videos from my ipad?

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases (if your account is authorised on it) via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from elsewhere or copied from CDs (and videos from elsewhere) you will either need to find a third-party program for your computer that can copy them off the iPad or copy them from your old computer (copying between computers) or from your backup and into iTunes (File > Add To Library).
To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard.
To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer, so you would be better off copying them from your old computer via (for example) a flash drive.

Transfer Musics from ipad to new itunes

Hi
I had a problem on my computer and a lost all my libraries from itunes (music)
I've installed the new itunes and tryed to sync all the musics from the ipad to the itunes..
the itunes recovers the buyed music from apple store.. but of course not all my cd's that were in the itunes.
i have them on my ipad if i try to sync i will losse the musics on the ipad (my cd's).
Is there a way so i can transfer my ipad music to the new itunes library?
regards

When your iPad is plugged in (ignore it if it asks to sync) right/ctrl click the iPad name and select "transfer purchasing..." this will copy anything you have bought from the iTunes store into your iTunes.
However any music you ripped yourself from CD's will not copy over you will need to re-import them into iTunes.
The iTunes setup is so to stop people going to a friends and copying all of their music to the friends iTunes, for example.

Buying a new Mac and try to save all information from iPhone in new iTunes, is it possible? how?

Buying a new Mac and try to save all information from iPhone in new iTunes, is it possible? how?

The easiest thing to do is transfer the library from the old computer to the new one. Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to choose a library, then select the copied iTunes folder. If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
If you do not have access to the old library (and you always should in the form of a backup you regularly make of your computer and store on a drive in a safe place) and this phone has been synced with a different library you can backup certain items, then erase the phone and restore those items. This will not include media not purchased from the iTunes Store.
iOS: How to back up and restore your content - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 - "Learn how to back up and restore the content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes."
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

I formatted by PC which erased the iTunes software as well. Now when i try to backup my iPad the new iTunes doesn't have access to my existing files. The option is to erase the current content of my iPad and replace it with existing files on my PC.

Replacing playlists from iPhone into new iTunes on new computer

My computer crashed. I was able to recover my itunes from the hard drive of the old computer and import them into the new itunes I've downloaded into my new computer. However, I have playlists on my iPhone which I want to put into the new itunes in new computer. Is there a way to force the new itunes to recognize existing playlists on the handheld device so as to avoid having to recreate the various play lists?

You cannot do that. All you can transfer is the music you purchased in iTunes. To do that, plug your iPhone into iTunes, and choose File > Device > Transfer Purchases from the iTunes menu.
The rest of your music will have to come either from your old computer's backup or the original sources (e.g., CDs) that were used to supply iTunes on the old machine.

HT1386 I am unable to synch photo albums from ipad 3 to itunes on my windows pc. In addition to camera roll and ipod cache albums, i have 6 other albums made from pix derived from the camera roll. I have trawled the net for the last 8 hrs in vain!

Dear Community members,
I am unable to synch photo albums from iPad 3 to iTunes on my Windows 7 pc.
In addition to Camera roll and iPod cache default albums, I have 6 other albums made from pix derived from the camera roll. Eg - Family pix in a folder, Office pix in another, Plant pixs in another, House architecture pix in another.......all also exist in the camera roll.
I have trawled the net for the last 8 hrs in vain!
I have ios5 on Ipad 3 and the latest Itunes on Windows PC.
As a precaution, I have used the windows "add pictures from...." to keep a copy in a separate folder in the windows desktop, but again it has all the pics mixed up together and not sorted as per the various albums in the ipad!
How to replicate the albums in the windows PC???
Regards
Sohal NS

Sync the photos back to the iPad using iTunes. You have to place the photos into a folder from which you sync photos. All photos that you want to sync to the device must be included in the main photos folder and selected to sync each time that you sync.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Click on the Sync Photos From heading in order to select it.
Select the photos folder that you want to sync from.
Select all of the albums or photos within the folder that you want to sync.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

Aperture Import destination grayed out when importing from iPad

I'm trying to import a bunch of photos from my iPad. I want to dump them all in one project in Aperture, but after selecting the iPad from the import source list, it grays out the options to select the destination. It also grays out the option to uncheck the Autosplit events. I do not want to do this import and then have to go back and merge 20 projects. Any ideas?

It' how Aperture works with the iPad see Aperture 3: Photos are not split into projects by date when importing from iPad as well as other threads here asking similar questions

How do you import songs into a new iTunes library from a Touch?

I downloaded iTunes on a new PC laptop but, I'm unable to import the songs that are on the Touch, to the new iTunes library.
The songs that are on the Touch are all iTunes purchased songs and these songs are based in a iTunes library that is on the old laptop that no longer works. iTunes on the old laptop cannot be accessed and there was no cd-dvd back up done for this library.
When the Touch is connected to iTunes on the new laptop, the songs on the Touch do appear in a music folder under the device heading which is fine but, because these songs can't be imported into the new library, they cannot be backed up as far as I know.
Otherwise, everything regarding iTunes is working as it should be on the new laptop.
Since I'm dealing only with iTunes purchased songs, iTunes, and a Apple device, there must be some way of adding the songs from the Touch into the new library.
I've done a Google search about this and any of the suggestions I've tried, haven't worked.
The OS on the new laptop, is Windows 7.
If someone can offer some help on this, it would be appreciated.
Thanks

Your suggestions worked.
Had to do the authorize step first and then I was able to re-download the songs into the new library.
Thanks

Ive purchased a new ipad and new itunes has been downloaded but it doesnt allow me to transfer my movies from my laptop to my libary

Ive purchased a new ipad mini, installed itunes and tried to transfer content from my laptop that includes mp4 movies but its not allowing the movies to be transfered giving me the ipad/iphone message tone when trying to play the movies into the libary. Any help would be great!

Im going to assume the movies themselves were purchsed in itunes...i recommended seeing if itunes can add them itself...in yout music folder on your computer you will see a folder called itunes..do this click on the itunes folder then click on itunes media..in that folder you will see a folder called automatically add to itunes...drag and drop the files into that folder...itunes will read that files and if they are compatible with itunes itunes will auto add them to your library....i recommended closing itunes before you do this itunes will read better if it is closed when you auto add...when you open itunes go movies tab check all the tabs in movies (movies, unwatched, genres, home videos)if you dont see the movies in itunes after soemtime...check the add auto folder again...if you see a folder that says not added check and see if the files are in there if they are they are not compatible with itunes or the ipad and you will need to convert them

How to import from ipod to new os and itunes?

Had to replace my hard drive and reinstall itunes. How do i import the songs from the ipod to itunes? The music that is on the ipod was lost with the old hard drive. I hope there is some way besides updating the ipod with itunes erasing everything.

Stanman,
These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
You need at least three sets of your music:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes
-- One full set on an external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer, then create and maintain two external sets.
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl).

Import songs from nano to new iTunes- my comp crashed and I lost everything

hi all, (my first post ever - pls be patient as I'm a total computer novice)
my home desktop is running windows xp but recently it crashed and to cut a long story short, had to reinstall windows xp. after i loaded a new iTunes, i thought all i had to do was to put the back up cds i'd made of my apple store purchases and hey presto.
1.unfortunately the new iTunes doesn't seem to recognise the discs? am i doing something wrong?
2.i've also read lots of posts and i believe if i want to transfer my songs from my nano to my new iTunes I'll need to buy software? is this correct and if so can anyone recommend a particular program.
3. i now have 2 authorised computers, however as I won't be using the previous iTunes which was the one I lost when my computer crashed, is there any way I can get that 'credit' back so to speak.
many thanks for any help, have to say that buying an iPod nano has tested my patience and with all the rules and restrictions, and going on the sheer no. of posts, have to ask myself is it really all worth it, particularly for computer illiterates like me, perhaps I'll leave them for the younger generation after all.

That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:
