New computer how do i put songs on it ?

Hi
I have just got a new computer. How do i transfer all my songs onto the new computer. Do i have to install i tunes first onto the computer ???
THanks Trish

Using iTunes, you can't transfer music from your iPod to your computer. I'd recommend that you install iTunes on the new computer, then copy all your music onto a DVD or a load of CDs and copy them onto your new computer. If you play one of your iTunes purchased songs on your new computer, you'll need to enter your username and password to authorise your new computer for your iTunes account - once you've done this (you only need to do it once) then you'll be able to play all your purchased music on your new machine.
If you don't have copies of your music on your PC, try using a program called "sharepod" from http://www.softpedia.com/get/IPOD-TOOLS/Other-IPOD-tools-Updates/SharePod.shtml - this will let you copy your music from your iPod, but DON'T USE IT TO PUT MUSIC ON YOUR IPOD. It can corrupt your iPod music library. I also don't know if you are able to copy iTunes purchased music off your iPod.
Hope this helps!

    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    You can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

    for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
    authorize iTunes on your new machine for your iTunes store account(s). connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.

  • Ive just got a new computer and trying to put songs on my new shuffle, but i keeps asking me to authorize the computer, i have no idea how to do this

    Hi can someone please help,
    i ve got a new computer (windows7)  and a new shuffle, and its asking to aurthrized the computer before i down load anything for i tunes that ihave already bought. but there is no explaination on how to do this
    any ideas

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • New computer How do i transfer songs

    i just got a new Hp Media center computer. how do i transfer all the songs from the computer i am currently using to the new one?
    i have about 3gb of music
    thanks

    There are a couple of ways. I would recommend firewire to connect the two computers and transfer the songs. Or, you could get a external hard drive ($$) and just pop them on the new computer. You could also take the long way and put the songs on CD and then load them onto the computer. If you dont have a firewire you can get them pretty much anywhere (staples, best buy, apple) and then you just connect them. pretty simple, hope i helped.

  • When you get a new computer how do I put on my iTunes library - I do have it all backed up to the cloud.  I am not a technical person so this is probably easy for someone but not me!  Any help would be much appreciated

    Can anyone explain what I need to do.  I am buying a new computer, need to de-authorise my old computer and then put the library on a new windows computer.  I have my library backed up to the cloud for which I pay extra.  I am not at all technical so if anyone could give me idiot instructions I would much appreciate it.  Finding the instructions from apple assume I know basic,s and that confuses me!

  • New computer, how to transfer purchased songs not on ipod?

    we had to get a new computer because our old one crashed big time. luckily, i had backed up my itunes a few weeks before the big crash. but there were a few songs i purchases after backing up and never got around to updating my ipod with them. itunes has a purchase history -- is there anyway to put them back into my playlists if i haven't saved them but there's a record of my purchases?

    Use the form on this page to request a free redownload, or use the Transfer Purchases feature if applicable. If neither of these works, you will need to purchase the content again to get them back; Apple needs to pay the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts, album artwork, and iPod touch/iPhone applications.

  • New Computer, How do I get songs from iPod to New computer?

    Please Help

    Why don't you simply copy them from your old computer?
    Much easier and faster.
    When I see these posts, it brings back memories of posts when people get stolen iPods and then want to copy the music too.
    Not saying you did that, but I do wonder why you need to do that? I've had a dozen iPods and lord knows how many computers in the last five years since the iPod's arrival, and I never had to do that once.

  • How  do you put songs on your ipod with the new itunes?

    How  do you put songs on your ipod with the new itunes?

    Do you mean remove them from the iPod or transfer them back to your computer? You can't transfer photo's back to the computer with iTunes. To retrieve photos from an iPod try:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    To remove individual photos from an iPod you delete or remove the photo from the folder that you linked to when you set the preference "synch photos from" and update the iPod. For example, if the iPod is getting the pictures from the folder "My Pictures," delete or remove them from My Pictures.

  • How can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone

    how can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone?
    The newest version of itunes seems to be a little more difficult to do this than past versions. I plug in my iphone to my computer and it does not allow me to "drag" songs into my iphone option anymore. Help!
    The songs I am trying to get on my iphone are from CDs that I have purchased outside of the itunes store. Can I not put those on my iphone anymore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Select the phone in the device list in iTunes, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want iTunes to sync with your phone, click the apply/sync button.
