Itunes crashed on old PC have new MAC cannot figure it ouit

itunes on PC bought 25 songs. PC crashed cannot backup old itunes info. Have a new MAC I want my songs back How do I get them?

You didn't back the songs up soon after buying them?
If not, you can transfer them from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

  • Help moving itunes library from old PC to new mac

    Well, I followed the online directions for moving my ipod library from an old pc to my new mac. It says files have been copied and now I see all the song files in the music folder of my new mac, but they won't show up in i tunes....what's up?
    Afterwards, I also restored my ipod for a mac and erased everything...so hopefully I havn't screwed up and lost everything! If I had to do the process over, I guess now I can't go back to my old pc and re-do it, right?
    Help...

    Drag the folder of music into iTunes.

  • Can't get my iTunes music from old PC to new Mac through iCloud.  Can't I just log in to iCloud to see music?

    I mave iCloud set up through my new iPhone 4S.  Yesterday I got my new macbook and I can't get my iTunes to transfer to my new mac from my old PC using iCloud.  Are you supposed to be able to do this?

    From things you are saying, such as "shared folder" and having both machines on, it doesn't sound to me like you truly moved the whole iTunes collection.

    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

    There's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • I dragged my ext. HD iTunes backed up folder into my new mac. Now there are duplicates of every song!! The problem is both versions seem to actually BE there when I check the info. Now I have no idea if iTunes is playing the files in the trash or not

    Hi. I'm in a situation here and would really welcome some guidance. I dragged my ext. HD iTunes backed up folder into my new mac. Now there are duplicates of every song. Both versions seem to actually BE there when I check the info. So, I moved what I thought were duplicates into the trash from iTunes, and resigned myself to the fact that I would have to do this manually for each album. I did this with about 10 albums. I emptied the trash and lost them even though they still LOOKED like they were in iTunes. I repeated the process tonight on a bunch of other albums not realizing yet that I had screwed up terribly the first time. This time I saw what had happened and pulled the files out of the trash, onto my desktop and dragged them back into iTunes, then deleted the duplicate files that had exclamation points next to them. Now I have no idea if iTunes is playing duplicate files from the trash or not, and am nervous about emptying the trash. Anyone dealt with this before? Thank you

    Repair the Hard Drive - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
    Clone Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the internal drive. Source means the external startup drive.

  • I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

    I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

    Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
    To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
    Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
    I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    That will let you transfer your non purchased content
    For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
    In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
    Download any music by clicking on the cloud button

  • Hi, can anyone tell me the best way to transfer my everything including itunes a/c to a brand new mac, thanks

    Hi, can anyone tell me the best way to transfer my everything including itunes a/c to a brand new mac, thanks

    Hello i recently transfered to a new mac and i have it perfectly figured out so first off dont use migration assestant if you don't want to get your old computer exactly on your new computer.  In my opinion starting on a fresh computer is best, BUT you still want your files so i have a video you can watch if my instructions don't make sense. 
    1. Go to finder and find your music folder
    2. click the folder labled itunes
    3. click itunes music or find the folder with all the folders in it that have names of artist or albums
    4. then select all those folders with the artis or album names with commant A this will select all those folders
    5. then drag these to and external hard drive or connect to your old mac from your new mac wirelessly to find these folder
    6. if you did wireless sharing option just drag all those folders to the itunes icon if you used an external harddrive find the folders on there and do the same.
    7. any questions please reply watching video will help.
