New computer authorised..How do i best transfer "purchased music"?
Hi, i've had i tunes for a while and have a purchased list that i would like to transfer to my partners new macbook pro which is now authorised to my account.. Problem is she is about 4000 km away for the next few months with average connection speeds. Any ideas about how to get the list on her computer?? Thanks, Mike
Create a playlist: drag the items to it. Control-click it to burn it to a CD or DVD - make sure that if it's a CD you choose data CD, not audio CD. Post the CD. Christmas post excepted, it will probably get there quicker than a transfer over the internet. She can then just drag the songs into iTunes.

Recently i had to get a new computer. I was able to get itunes on the new computer and itunes did reconize my phone. BUT, it doesnt want to transfer the music from my phone to the computer? Can someone help, Please??
ThanksFile>Transfer Purchases in iTunes will transfer items purchased from the iTunes store.
If you have items from other sources (ripped CD's, etc.) on the phone, you can't transfer those without purchasing 3rd party software.
Restore the backup of your old computer or just copy the data from the old computer to the new one. -
I have a new computer with windows 8 and i installed new version of itunes. I transferred all of my music from old computer using jump drive. When I connect my ipod to new computer, I can't transfer purchases, sync, get my playlists from ipod onto computer and can't get my pictures from ipod to computer. My computer is authorized. I don't know what else to do.
Click here, follow the instructions, and choose Transfer Purchases in the File menu.

my old computer crashed. I bought a new one. I installed Itunes, with a new account. I cannot get my music from my ipod touch to the new computer. It is all music I had downloaded from cd's I have purchased through the years. Every time I try to authorize the new computer, it wants a credit card number for the ITunes store. I don't want to buy more music now, I just want to be able to get my songs in my new computer. This is driving me crazy. any help, since the phone support is not available when I am. Thanks.
The music sync is one wa - copmputer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer. Use your backup to put everything back -
see question
So what would happen if you lost your iPod or it was stolen? Answer, all your music would be gone.
The iPod is not a storage device.
Do you have a backup of your media from your old computer? If so, copy all your media from that backup to your new computer.
Otherwise, try searching the forums for an answer to your question. This EXACT same question is asked and answered many times every day. -
itunes was on mac book that crashed. Trying to move music and podcasts to wifes windows 7 pc. Followed all steps for importing purchased items. Only a portion of purchased music was transferred to new computer. What to do???
JustMeAndYou,
For what it's worth ...
Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups . (For most people, this will involve either CD's/DVD's or an external drive .)
That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form on this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up! -
Any help would be appreciated.
Use a utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com or Phone to PC | macroplant.com.

I would like to transfer the music that is already on my iPod touch to a new computer. At present, my iPod touch is not recognised on the new computer. How do I resolve that so I can literally connect it to my new computer and transfer all my music? Any help is much appreciated.

It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

I have burned numerous cd's onto my old computer. Many of these songs cannot be purchased on Itunes (Garth Brooks for example). My old computer died and now I can't transfer these songs from my ipod onto my new computer. How can I retreive my data?
What options do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs for syncing preferences?

my computer with itunes zapped by lightning. cannot access itunes files. how can i transfer my music on my iphone to a new computer. much of it was not purchased from itunes store
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy?
If so, then you can buy a third party program to extract the music not purchased from itunes.
Itunes purchases can be transferred to your computer: File>Transfer Purchases. -
I am trying to transfer 3000 songs from my iPod Classic to my new computer. The only songs that transfer are those that I have purchased on iTunes (242 songs). All of the music from my CD collection that I have on my iPod Classic will not transfer. What (if any) is the best 3rd party website that will assist?
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
