IPod touch library to new MacBook Pro

Previous computer was stolen so I do not have access to it. My iPod touch has over 1,000 songs, only some of which were purchased on iTunes. Does anyone know how I can get my ENTIRE iPod touch library into my new MacBook Pro iTunes library? Thanks for your suggestions.

  • How do I transfer my songs from my iPod Touch to my new MacBook Pro?

    Okay so I have read many similar questions, but I have not found any that share my exact problem.  I got an iPod Touch for Christmas and bought songs from the iTunes app it has, NOT FROM A PREVIOUS COMPUTER.  I have boughten 83 songs so far.  Now I just got the new MacBook Pro for graduation and haven't touched the iTunes on this computer.  It is all set up through the same Apple ID.  So again, all 83 songs that I have on my iPod did NOT come from a previous computer, they all have been bought through iTunes on the iPod Touch, how do I get those songs on my new computer?  Thank you!
    P.S. OH!  I also just got the Time Capsule (2TB), so I am not sure if that would solve my problem.

    This is answered often.
    open itunes, connect ipod, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • I plug my iPod touch into my new macbook pro and the iPod icon shows up in iTunes, but does not show up anywhere in the finder or on my desktop...?

    I need to transfer the music off of my ipod onto my mac but i cannot do that when my macbook will not recognize my ipod touch in the finder.

    This is correct.  It will not show in finder.  It is not an external storage device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

    For non-Tunes purchased music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed in the above.

  • I can't sync my iPod touch 1st generation with macbook pro

    I can't sync my ipod touch 1st generation with macbook pro.
    It recognises that its my ipod and says sync completed but there is no music or content on the ipod from my itunes library.

    Thanks Chris.  Have tried this but does not work.  I restored the ipod touch to original settings and erased all data a few weeks ago too as thought this would help but it hasn't.  Any advice?

  • I can't sync my iPod Touch with my new Macbook.

    I'm having trouble syncing my iPod touch with my new Macbook Air and I don't know what to do. I've managed to get all my music and films etc. off my old iTunes library but when I plug my iPod into the computer, it doesn't come up with the typical 'erase/replace or transfer' message that you get when you plug it into other computers. Someone please help because it is driving me insane. The iPod was originally synced with a Windows computer and I think this might be what is causing my problem but I really need help fixing it. Thanks!

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to new computer.
    but when I plug my iPod into the computer, it doesn't come up with the typical 'erase/replace or transfer' message that you get when you plug it into other computers.
    What does happen?

  • Ipod classic sync to new macbook pro

    Hi,
    I bought a new ipod classic and did use it on my old PC but now have a new macbook pro.  What, if anything, should I do when I attach my new ipod to the new computer??
    Thanks

    Doris,
    Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it to a new computer/iTunes library the process will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with the content that is now in your new iTunes library.  If possible, copy your entire iTunes library from your PC to your Mac first.  Here are a few ways to do it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    One way to do it is to use your iPod Classic as an external hard drive and copy it that way.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
    Otherwise, you'll need to use one of the methods described in this Apple support document to copy content from your iPod back to your Mac.

  • HT1386 I am trying to sync my iPod Touches calendar to my MacBook Pro calendar. I have been successful at syncing the events from my MacBook Pro's iCal to the iPod but haven't been able to sync the events from my iPod to my MacBook Pro. Is this possible?

    I have an iPod touch that I often use to manage different events for work. I have been able to sync the events on my calendar from my MacBook Pro to the iPod touch successfully using wifi. What I really need to do though is sync my iPod calendar events to my MacBook Pro calendar. Is this possible? How do I set this up? It would be a huge help if I could transfer the events on my iPod calendar to my computers calendar. I currently have the wifi sync option on and have turned on the sync calendars option in iTunes. Thank you for your help!

    For resetting the sync history on a Mac running Lion - 10.7.x if needed.

    If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 3: 
    If you do not see the Sync menu in your menu bar, skip to step 7.
    Hold the Option key on your keyboard, then click the Sync menu in the menu bar:   
    if you see the Sync menu but you are unable to open it, skip to step 8.
    Choose Reset Sync Services.
    Click Reset Sync History.
    Test for the original issue. If the issue persists, or if you are unable to open the Sync menu, follow these steps:
    In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
    Open Terminal.
    In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
    Press Return.
    Quit Terminal after the operation has completed (when Terminal returns to the command prompt with a $).

  • Using old external hard drive as iTunes library on new macbook pro

    Recently purchased new macbook pro with 256 GB of memory.  I have an older external Passport for Mac hardrive with close to 1 TB of music.  I would like to use this external hard drive as my itunes folder.  I opened itunes on new computer, went to preferences - advanced and chose new location /Volumes/JP KAF/Itunes Media/Music and select OK but no music is available.  How do I connect my external hard drive and direct my new computer to use it as my music library.  I tried the starting itunes and holding Left shift key but that does not open an option of creating a library - Again, this is the newest macbook pro with retina screen.  Please help.

    No not do it changing preferences.  That does as it says; it just relocates media, not the whole library which is more than media.
    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), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.

  • Transfer iTunes library to new MacBook Pro while maintaining playlists, ratings, etc.

    I just got my new MacBook Pro for college, and I need to transfer my entire iTunes library (19,000+ songs) from my dektop Mac to my new computer. I have tried a lot of people's methods concerning transfering libraries, but everytime, I lose my playlists, play counts, and ratings. I have tried a lot of methods, but none seem to work. I have tried consolidating libraries and other methods. Does anyone have any ideas of what I might be doing wrong.
    (I have a 1TB hd that houses all of the music for my iTunes library for my desktop. I am attempting to move it all to the MBP. My MBP has two partitions, one of which is for storage and music (not my Macintosh HD) which is where I am attempting to copy my library to from the 1TB drive.)
    Thanks in advance!

    Here's one way to connect two computers.  There's other ways but we have absolutely no idea what hardware you have. - How to use FireWire target disk mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661 - includes description of hardware and software requirements.
    As for files and folders to copy and where; Kappy has already made a list above, including showing locations.  As for how; using drag and drop in Finder will probably work, but it will depend upon how you eventually connect the computers, or use a hard drive, or a flash drive...  Currently there are too many unknowns about your system to provide a detailed list without itemizing for hundreds of different scenarios.
    By the way, feel free to start a new topic for a question. This one was really about sorting out chrisbraun5's issue.

  • Copying iPhoto Library to new MacBook Pro

    I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro primarily to use when travelling. I also have a iMac which will continue to be my main mac. I naively thought that by using Migration Assistant I'd be able to copy/transfer all the stuff I have on my iMac (iTunes Library, iPhoto Library etc....) to the MacBook Pro but it's clearly not as simple as that.
    Can someone please help me to get the content on my iMac to the Pro and is there a way to update any new photos etc automatically from my iMac to the Pro? It's worth adding that I also have a Time Capsule which is used for backing up from the iMac.
    All help gratefully appreciated!!

    I naively thought that by using Migration Assistant I'd be able to copy/transfer all the stuff I have on my iMac (iTunes Library, iPhoto Library etc....) to the MacBook Pro but it's clearly not as simple as that.
    I don't know what problems you've had, but I was able to do that with Migration Assistant.
    To move your Library:
    1. Connect the two Macs together
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder on the iMac to the same location on the new one.
    3. Launch iPhoto.
    That's all there is to it..
    is there a way to update any new photos etc automatically from my iMac to the Pro?
    Yes, simply use the Pro as a back up location and back the library up using an app like DejaVu.
    However, this will work only as long as you use the Pro as a back up for the iMac. If you add photos to the Pro and then try and sync the two you may damage either Library.
    Alternatively, you can use iPhoto Library Manager to move Photos, Events and Albums, plus associated metadata between Libraries.

  • Best way to move itunes library to new macbook pro

    Would like to move my library to my new macbook pro, and have both computers have the library. What do you suggest to do this task?

    I have previously backed-up to disk in iTunes, authorized the new computer to play my music, and restored to it - takes all play count, ratings etc across which I wanted too. This was between PCs but sure it will work on Mac too.
    Anyone who has switched from PC to Mac - can you use a backup created on a PC to restore to a Mac - I'm switching to a MacBook Pro and want to keep my music!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Copied my iTunes library to new MacBook Pro, why are my iPhone apps greyed out?

    Hi,
    Rather than migrate from an iMac that I sold, I decided to just start fresh on a new Macbook Pro. I did back up my iTunes library and copied it over to the new Macbook. I synced my iPhone and iPad 2 on the new Macbook but the apps are greyed out. When I click the sync apps box all but a few of the apps (I'm assuming the ones that are default with the iPhone and iPad) dissappear.
    I'd like the ability to arrange my apps with the Macbook at times and like the idea that I have a backup of all my apps on my computer. I realize I'm backing them up in iCloud, but just sayin'.
    Thanks,
    Bo

    Do I purchase an external hard-drive and transfer? Or should I just go and get a 32 GB Flashdrive? Anyone have any tips for doing this stuff?
    assuming all your media files are in the default location, connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    So how can I turn off the library on my iMac and just make it two?
    you can't.
    you'll have to wait until you reach the limit of five machines. then you can use the deauthorize all option, following which you can reauthorize those computers you currently use/have access to.

  • Cant copy over iPhoto Library to new Macbook Pro (Retina 15")

    So I tried migrating everything to a new Macbook Pro, all in all it was successful, but when I tried to start iPhotos up, the iPhoto Library got corrupt during the Library Upgrade process. I then copied my original iPhoto Library file (90GB) to an ext. harddrive to try again, but when I tried to copy that (original)  file on to the Macbook Pro, the computer kept telling me that there is not enough free space. This dont seem right to me, given that I have 175GB free space available out of 256GB.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it because of the large file size? Is there a way to copy this file on to the machine? I've never ran into a size limit for files before, but then again, I cant remember the last time I tried to copy a 90GB file.
    Any people would be greatly appriciated!

    Yeah thats all fine, and everything is backed up. but I dont want to link the library to an ext drive.
    I actually got it working in a really convoluted way:
    I opened the iPhoto Library Package and copied the MODIFIED and ORIGINALS folders (these were the largest sized folders) over seperately from the rest of the Library. There seems to be some sort of size limit to Mountian Lion that wont let you copy files that are larger then 24GB in size (maybe an SSD thing?). So I copied over everything to the desktop, and then put all the folders back in the package. That worked like a charm!
    *I wouldnt recommend this method to a novice. Its imperative that everything goes back in the right place, or you can destroy your Library.
    I guess if I didnt do it this way, I could have also tried CCC, or time machine, which I believe circumvent this size restriction.
