New computer - can't transfer old itunes, problems importing cd's

Sorry the subjec area has multiple topics, but i've got issues. Long story short: computer completely broke. Can't even view screen to try and restore anything or remove programs. Now have HP dv6000. Since I can't move old itunes acct over to new computer, I've resorted to importing all my cd's again. For some reason, some cd's don't even come up when i put them in the drive. No message, no warning - nothing. I insert the cd and it just spins and spins. Is this an itunes issue or a HP issue? Is it because some cd's don't allow you to copy to more than one computer?
Any suggestions?

You should probably post in the itunes forum, since it appears your question has little or nothing to do with ipods.
Where is your back up? Did you not maintain a back up of your music/pics/docs/etc?
You can copy a cd on as many computers as you like. Your problem is very likely not an itunes issue.

Getting a new computer. can i transfer my itunes?

Hey im getting a new computer and was wondering if its possible to transfer my i tunes from my old one (its is still working just really bogged down) to the new computer.

yes,i think i can figure it out by the third party tool. what i am using is Aniosoft itunes to itunes.It enables you to copy any itunes library to the storage devices if you like and then recover them with no any differece including its formerly playlists ,your personal settings and other content into the new computer or another computer just a simple click 'restore from the folder' that you can select by your preference.For you case,i think you can backup your itunes of the old computer to a memory stick and then transfer the backup database to your new one.You can have a free trial for Aniosoft itunes to itunes before you can buy one.Anyway luck to you.

Got new Laptop, Can I transfer entire itunes library?

I bought a macbook today and don't want to use my older pc laptop. The problem is that my itunes library to which i sync my iphone is on my old laptop. What is the best way to go about making this transfer, if possible?
Thanks!

Choose Consolidate Library from the Library section of the File menu, copy the iTunes folder(not just iTunes Music) to an external drive, put that folder on the new computer, launch iTunes, with the Option key held down, and point it to that library. Alternatively, back it up to CDs or DVDs and restore the backup on the new computer.

New Computer - can't transfer library

I have a new computer, the old one is out of action. Any advice I can see for synching my IPod with new computer requires access to the old on which isn't an option for me. Oddly, I can synch purchased music but not non purchased - does anyone have suggestions? Thanks, Scotlad

The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists also it was written for Windows XP so will probably require adapting for Vista. If you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

IPod on new computer - can't transfer new songs to iPod

Hi
I've just got a new PC and have downloaded iTunes. When I connected my iPod it said it was already synced with another iTunes library (ie on my old computer).
I managed to transfer all my purchased music from my iPod to iTunes on my new computer. But I've bought some new songs from the iTunes store and I now can't seem to transfer them to my iPod.
Anybody know how I can fix this please?
Kind regards

For difficulties transferring iTunes purchases, see this.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.

Moving to new computer, can Lightroom transfer?

I am away from home and I am transferring to a new computer. I currently have lightrom on my laptop and want to put it on this new desktop. I know my copy of the software allows for installation on two computers. My problem is I don't have my DVD copy of Lightroom with me. It will be in storage for 6 months.
Could I download the trial version of Lightroom through this website and call Adobe to activate it with the information I have on my Laptop copy (or the fact that I am a registered user?)
Or am I stuck having to buy a new copy?
Thanks,
Jeff

You're in luck. Just download the app from the site, and you'll have 30 days to register it.
I've not had to call Adobe.
As to the transfer, you can do it lock, stock and barrel if your folder structure can be repeated on the new machine. If it can't, you might want to move images into the LR folder prior to migration.

New computer - can't connect to Itunes store

Hello all,
I've tried everything and still cannot connect to the Itunes Store.
I have new computer which has updated operating system and current versions of everything, including itunes.
I loaded my library into itunes (have on an external hard drive) and it copied fine. When I try to log into itunes, my id and password appear to be accepted but then I get the error message:
We could not complete your iTunes Store Request
the ITunews Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.
I have gone through everything recommended on the apple site:
iTunes and Safari are up-to-date and restarted.
all software is up-to-date and restarted.
firewall isn't an issue.
i'm a system administrator, no limitations, not an issue.
did keychain repair, not an issue.
internet is working fine on laptop as well as tablet and phone.
date and time are correct.
it all worked fine on my older laptop and i find it incredibly frustrating when I get the newer model and it doesn't work. I'm open to any suggestions here!
thanks - erinn

Run itunes diagnostics it will tell you if windows firewall is a problem, but usually it is not. And if diagnostics will say it is not, try to disable your antivirus(es) and see then if you can connect. Stop reinstalling itunes without disabling that security/antivirus beforehand.

Switching account to new computer can't access old account w/changed email

I'm trying to access my itunes account on a rarely used pc that was used for my ipod and authorize my account on a new computer. My itunes account had my old email address and I forgot the password, so when I try to access the account and answer the security questions to send a new password, it ends up offering to send it to my old email address which is no longer valid....how can I access the account to change my email, and de-authorize my old computer and get my music etc. synched with my new one?....maybe I can just set up a new account on the new computer and dump my music from my ipod to it?

To remove the iCloud account you need to delete it.
Settings > iCloud > scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Acccount
