Just bought a new computer, how do I transfer my itunes account to and library from my ipod to my new computer?

Just bought a new computer. How do I transfer my itunes to new machine. Only my apps and some music will transfer but cds I put on will not transfer.

Hi,
If you are using the iTunes command File>Transfer Purchases from iPod, only purchased music is transferred to iTunes from your iPod. 
Hope this helps!

  • I have no experience with mac and just bought an imac.  How do I transfer all my pictures,data and itunes from my pc?

    I have an ipod and an ipad.  I tried simply putting the data on these portable devices but they would only accept a small fraction of them.  For example, I tried dragging a picture into itunes and I got an error that said this file cant be played in itunes.

    iTunes doesn't support that file type.

    I just purchased an iPad 2. I currently have an iPhone 4 (not 4s). I was told that I could get all the apps, music and photos from my iphone onto my ipad. I tried backing up my phone and restoring my ipad from my phone. Didn't work. It setup successfully but nothing transfered over. iCloud only gave me my contacts and calendar. HELP!

  • Upgrade from MacBook to Pro....How do I transfer the data, Info, Music and Photos from my MacBook to a new Pro please??

    Hi all......as the title suggests, I'm looking to upgrade to the 2011 MacBook Pro.
    I currently have a 2008 MacBook and I would like to transfer all the info (Pics, Music, Apps etc) from the MacBook to the Pro - How do I do this please? Should I take it to a store to be done?
    Also, I would like to "gift" my MacBook to a friend once I have the Pro - can I clear the MacBook and give it to my friend as a blank (but retaining the OS)??
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions offered.
    Cheers.

    With your new computer, you'll download a fresh copy of iTunes and then authorize iTunes using your Apple ID and Password.  Read the following link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    You can then connect your iPad to your new computer via USB cable and transfer your purchases (do not connect your iPad until you have authorized the computer.  The music you had in your old iTunes account will not be in your new account as music is stored in a file on your hard drive, which you said has crashed.

    I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
    1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
    and
    2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
    WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
    Thanks for any time taken on this!!!

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air?

    thanks but exactly how do I do this.  I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through.  I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
    Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder.  I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit.

  • Can I transfer my itunes library from my ipod to my new imac?  If so how is it done?

    Can I transfer my itunes library from my ipod to my new imac?  If so how is it done?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Of course. The best would be to transfer the iTunes library from your old Mac or PC to the new Mac, so you will keep everything and you won't have to use any third-party app.
    Anyway, if you don't have access to the old PC or Mac, you can transfer songs from the iPod to your Mac. If you purchased all the songs on the iTunes Store, just open iTunes, connect the iPod and transfer the songs. If you are using an iPod touch, you will lose everything if you sync it with iTunes on the new iMac.
    Another method is to use an app like Senuti to transfer the songs to iTunes, being a safer way to transfer them if you aren't sure that you will lose your songs

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do i transfer an itunes account from my old computer to another computer which already has an itunes account registered to someone else

    how do i transfer an itunes account from one computer to another which already has another account on it which is registered with someone else

    There is no account stored on any computer, the library however is stored.
    To move the iTunes library from one computer to another, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another.
