  • Music from old iPod to new iTunes account?

    I have an old iPod, but I forgot what iTunes account I had when I put all music on my iPod. Now I have a new iTunes account that I use. How can I get the music on my iPod to my new iTunes account?

  • Transferring music from hard drive to new macbook

    So here is my situation I can't seem to figure out.
    On my old imac, I kept all  of my music on an external hard drive.
    Now that I have a new macbook pro, I would like to transfer the libary on to the itunes, while keeping it on the external hard drive.
    When I go to do that, it won't reference the folder I have all my albums in because it says it is not a valid itunes library file.
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    So your media are on the external drive and your library files are on the internal?  iTunes is a bunch of files, not just your media files.

    If your library files are on your internal drive you need to copy the iTunes folder from Home > Music to the same location on the new computer (make sure you don't mind replacing the one already there), then start iTunes.  It may want to update your main library file.
    If instead of what you say, the whole iTunes library is on the external drive:

    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 library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.

  • How to restore MobileSync Backup from Hard Drive to new iTunes?

    I am in serious need of help!
    My laptop which had Windows 7 running was crashing down after 4 years. When I brought it to the service center they took my internal drive out to save all the data before too late.
    The problem is I never had the chance to backup my iTunes properly, and now that I'm usiing a new computer, how can I possibly retrieve all the old data?
    The internal drive from the older computer has now been made into a hard drive. I just downloaded the same version of iTunes I was using on this new computer, but how can I possibly restore my older iTunes library. I don't care very much about the music actually, but the mobilesync backup, like messages, notes and etc.
    Thnaks in advance!

  • HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account.  An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
    If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state).  If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
    Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

    This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

    You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that.  iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
    I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

  • Unable to add music from hard drive to iTunes

    I have recently upgraded to iTunes 7.01 add for some reason my music was missing from the itunes library. I cannot add any of the files from the hard drive to the itunes library. They are all files that I have copied over from CD and there was no issues with them in itunes 6. Any help would be appreciated.

    Solved. I changed the iT folder and my iP got lost the connection with the proper library. Had to change it back and re-connect to the correct library.

  • READ THIS : WHY IN GODS NAME CAN I NOT TRANSFER MY MUSIC FROM IPAD TO MY NEW ITUNES LIBRARY? .

    My old laptop got a virus which im still annoyed enough about. So i obviously got a new laptop, which also meens a new itunes library with nothing on it. I now have 3000 songs on my ipad and as i have lost my old itunes library my new one has nothing on. ive been trying for some time now to transfer my music from my ipad to my itunes library with out loosing anything. i do not want to loose all my music as it will take absoloutly ages to put them all on my ipad again. IF YOU HAD A HEART YOU WOULD HELP

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just this reason.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipad.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I export music from my ipod to new itunes?

    How do I expoort music from my ipod to itunes?  I got a new laptop and had to download new itunes, but can't seem to get a way to export my music from my ipod shuffle to itunes.  Can someone please help me?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here
    newer copy
    - To retain app data and other settings, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking one the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore from that backup
    Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • Transfer itunes music from flash drive to new pc

    I have a new PC, HP Envy.   I had previously copied my Music, etc. onto ex-hard-drive from my old PC but do not know how to get this music onto my new PC.   I have an I-Pod which I attach to my computer on occasions to update it.  I have just downloaded I-Tunes 11.0.5.5 but dont know where to go from here.   I also thought that I-Tunes held backups of ones music, is this so?

    Drag it to the internal drive and then into the open iTunes application window. If the external drive contains an entire iTunes library, you can also launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and point it there.
