Need to put itunes on new computer

I have iTunes on an old PC computer that I want to transfer to a brand new PC computer. How do I do this without losing anything??

See this User Tip for an alternative approach.
Use SyncToy to create a clone of your library on an external hard drive.
Connect the drive to the new computer, install SyncToy again and use the Sync option to copy the library in the other direction.
(ideally before installing iTunes so you don't have to remove an empty library or run the risk of it corrupting your backup.)
Update the backup periodically to guard against disaster in the future.

    You can do what Barb has said but you could also try this link to see if it answers your question:

    Media kits for older versions are pretty much difficult to get but you can still try.

  • HT2291 I installed Itunes on mu laptop.I down;oaded some music. The hard drive on that computer crashed. How do i get my Itunes library from the other computer to put on my new computer?

    How do i get my Itunes library from my crashed hard drive to put on my new computer? The old computer had Windows Vista and the new computer has Windows 8.

    It will only be where you put it.
    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 backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • My company runs Adobe Acrobat XI on a PC.  Our PC went down and we replaced it with a new one.  We need Acrobat XI on it and have bought it already.  How can I get it put onto our new computer?

    Hi chrisb75729216,
    I checked with your account but could not find any order history so you might be using another email address on forums.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from old machine and then install Acrobat on the new machine by activating with the same serial number.
    Please download Acrobat XI pro from here: Other downloads
    If you have single user license, then remember that the software can be activated on maximum two computers, say your desktop at work and laptop at home.

    Hello pryan1012,
    What this message means is that you have more music in your itunes library than there is free space in your ipod.
    I had this same issue at one time. This is what helped me put my music on the ipod. I used manually manage.

  • Playlists not showing up after moving itunes to new computer

    moved itunes to new computer and used an externa;l harddrive to move "iTunes" folder over.  the most recent "setup" of itunes on old computer is not showing on new computer.  For example "music" file size on external drive is 133GB - on new computer itunes, only 33GB.  and, playlists have disapeared.  any ideas?

    See Make a split library portable for some background on moving the library successfully. You need the main iTunes library.itl file, its supporting files and the Album Artwork folder as well.
    If you can find that data it should be possible to put everything together in the right shape and make it work.
    Otherwise I have two scripts called ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats which may prove useful.

  • HT1751 Just installed itunes on my new computer.  My music is on an external drive.  How do i get newly installed itunes on new computer to recognize the music on the external drive?

    I just got a new PC, thank goodness.  All my music is on an external drive (F).  i installed Itunes on my new computer.  Now want to get itunes to recognize all the music on my external drive.  Don't want to put music on new computer, but keep on external drive.  Can anyone help me - thanks

    Was the media solely on the external library?  If so, it is likely that iTunes was started at some point with the external drive unaccessible.  Simply point iTunes to the correct library location.  To do this, close iTunes.  Hold <SHIFT> and launch iTunes.  When prompted to find library or create a new one, select the find option and point iTunes to where the iTuneslibrary.itl file is at on your computer (or external drive).

  • Replacing playlists from iPhone into new iTunes on new computer

    My computer crashed. I was able to recover my itunes from the hard drive of the old computer and import them into the new itunes I've downloaded into my new computer. However, I have playlists on my iPhone which I want to put into the new itunes in new computer. Is there a way to force the new itunes to recognize existing playlists on the handheld device so as to avoid having to recreate the various play lists?

    You cannot do that.  All you can transfer is the music you purchased in iTunes.  To do that, plug your iPhone into iTunes, and choose File > Device > Transfer Purchases from the iTunes menu.
    The rest of your music will have to come either from your old computer's backup or the original sources (e.g., CDs) that were used to supply iTunes on the old machine.

  • Used ipod as a drive to copy songs into new itunes on new computer. Some songs do play in entirety, las minute cuts off with nothing plyaing, or it suddenly starts playing a different song. "TIme" shown is correct in the file.

    Used ipod as a drive to copy songs into new itunes on new computer. Some songs do play in entirety, last 30 seconds to minute cuts off with nothing plyaing, or it suddenly starts playing a different song. "TIme" shown is correct in the file. Any way to fix this?

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

    how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

    If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D

  • Unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8

    unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8
    states this app unable to run on this PC

    Hello jgrn76,
    It sounds like you are getting an error stating that the iTunes installer cannot be run on your computer. I would try downloading the 64 bit version of iTunes from here:
    iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (64-bit)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1615
    If issues persist when trying to install it, I would try running through the steps in the article named:
    Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
    Otherwise, would you mind elaborating a bit on what the error message says, word for word?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling
