Just got new computer, all itunes songs are lost. How do I transfer the songs on my iTouch to my iTunes

I just got a new computer and I copied all my songs onto a hardrive and then added it to itunes. Some of them are missing from my itunes and some are "unable to be located". All of my songs I have purchased on my itouch "cannot be located" and i cannot play them. They are still on my itouch and i want to transfer my itouch playlists to my new itunes.

That is true, songs that you bought have different coding than songs that you downloaded illegally so that police can tell if you bought the song or downloaded it illegally. Also a lot of songs now with iTunes do require the account that bought it to access it in order for it to work.

    Your music should be in your iTunes library, and you should be able to sync with iTunes to transfer you music back to your phone.  To do this confirm the following:
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
    You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

  • Ever since i plugged my iphone into the computer, all of my music has been messed up. The songs don't have the right album cover i guess they all just got mixed up somehow. i dont know but its annoying and im not sure how to fix it.

    If not this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Then
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Hi guys i update my IPOd 4G with the new iOS5 .I made a Backup and I load it but all my Photos are lost how can I get them back ??? thx for Help

    HI guys
    I need help.
    I load the new iOS5 and I made an Backup and I load it too,but all my Photos are lost HOw can I get them Back ???
    thx for help !!!!!

    Which photos? If the missing photos were synced to the iPod then you have to get them from where you got them the first time. Synced photos are not in the backup that iTunes makes.

  • I have reinstall itunes on mac all my backups are lost how to retrive

    i have reinstall itunes on mac all my backups are lost how do i retrive them i did not back up from icloud

    Looking in the time capsule preferences, it looks like the name of the disk has slightly changed to add a "3" at the end.  Not sure how to change it back.
    When I use airport utility and look at the disk, it says something like half the disk has been used, so obviously my backups are still there.  Just not sure how to re-connect so backups aren't lost or duplicated.

    DaisyDoodle,
    The songs on your Shuffle should still be in your iTunes library.  That means you should just be able to connect your Nano to the same iTunes library and sync it just as you would with your Shuffle. There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
    As for preparing the Shuffle for your husband, just restore it via iTunes and then let him sync it to his own iTunes library or if its the same iTunes library, let him configure it to sync only his content.
    Here are instructions on how to restore the Shuffle if need be.

  • For some artists in my Music app on my I-phone, the songs do not appear when I search by the artist.  However, if I search the album name, all the songs show.  How do I get the songs to show under songs?

    Hi Spam_Valley,
    I understand that you are having issues with your music displaying correctly. This may be an issues with the metadata stored within that song, and iTunes interpretation of that info.
    We may need to repair this. See the following resources for information:

    how can i transfer the songs to a usb

    Restore it in iTunes on your computer.
    There is a difference between registering with Apple and using it with iTunes. To register it (which isn't necessary) you would have to get the previous owner to de-register it.

  • I purchased songs and now how do I put the songs on my nano 7

    I purchased songs and now how do I put the songs on my nano 7

    Open iTunes and plug in your iPod. On the left sidebar there should be your iPod name (If you can't find the sidebar, go to iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar), go to your iTunes playlist and drag the songs you want to your iPod. For all of the songs, go to your iPod music library, even if you don't have songs, and on the bottom there should be a blue-ish bar. There might be a box saying "Autofill from iTunes library" click that ONLY if you want ALL songs from your iTunes to your iPod.
