New Computer, New Itunes Library...

My hard drive crashed recently and I was forced to obtain a new temporary computer to which I downloaded Itunes. I have tried to disable the automatic sync option, but everytime I hit 'apply' for the manual management, I still get the warning that I will lose the music on my Iphone.
Should I transfer all of the music from the Iphone to the new library and go from there or is there an easier way to get new music onto my phone?
Thank you in advance.

  • Trying to move iPod touch to new computer.  iTunes library from old computer already on external hard drive.  Don't want to lose playlists, apps, etc.  Help?

    I am trying to move iPod touch to a new computer.  My iTunes library was already on a 1 TB external hard drive.  I downloaded iTunes on my new computer, plugged in my external hard drive with my iTunes library, and changed my iTunes media folder location (preferences-advanced) to my external hard drive location. But now all my songs are "checked" (all were not before) and none of my old playlists are present.  When I plug in my iPod touch to the new computer, it asks if I want to erase and sync.  I do not want to lose my playlists, apps, etc.  How do I move over to my new cpmputer without erasing my iPod and losing stuff?

    Forgot to add, my iPod touch is backed up on iCloud

  • How do I upload music from my iPod to my new computer's iTunes Library?

    To try to explain this simply;
    I recently purchased a new computer (Toshiba laptop),
    I have already uploaded some CD's to my Library and synced my iPod Touch to my Library,
    But when I connect my iPod Classic to my computer's iTunes tells me that my iPod is already synced to another Lirbrary and gives me the options of either to "Transfer Purchases" or " Sync and Erase",
    I've tried to "Transfer Purchases" but it seems to upload literally only iTunes store purchases but I want to upload ALL of the music from my iPod to my Library because I have purchased albulms from a (deleted) Rhapsody account and I also have Youtube converted songs (which basically makes up my entire Library),
    I also have uploaded files from my old computer with an external hard drive but I have absoulutly no idea how to find them,
    So! I need to upload my music from my iPod to my Library without deleting music from my existing Library or my iPod
    Please help! And please explain as well as you can, I get confused easily..

    The best way is to use the backup you made on the old computer and restore the iTunes folder to the new computer. No backup? The if the old computer is still working using an external device to copy the iTunes folder from the old computer and copy it to the new one.
    If neither of the above are doable, and you have a PC, use this:

  • Can I sync my iPhone library to be my new computer's iTunes library?

    I just got my laptop fixed. (Compaq with Windows Vista)
    And everything erased, and I have no back up (Well I did, but that isn't working for some reason)
    I still have my music on my iPhone, but what is there a way I can shift whatever I have on there, to become my new iTunes library on my laptop?

    Sorry but the iPhone is not a backup device. In general all the music on the phone will be erased if you try to sync with another computer (or same one that has been reinstalled thus new to iPhone).
    With that said, this question is asked daily so I am surprised you didn't find the answer already (you did search before asking right?)
    Anyhow, if you connect, and DO NOT SYNC, and then choose "Transfer Purchased Content" from the File Menu, it will take off some stuff. Mainly anything you really bought from iTunes. It will NOT take off anything you obtained by other means as it cannot prove you own it.
    You may want to actually search though as there are more options you can work with to try to get more off (3rd party tools) and also important information about how not to lose your contacts. I am assuming you never searched and why I am suggesting you do because it is asked daily multiple times.

    I have a nano 5th gen which I bought new. I no longer have the computer that I sync'd it with and created library on. I have new computer and Itunes library which I want to sync w my nano and songs on it. When I try it tells me I will loose all the songs on my nano bc Im already sync'd on a dif library. How do I keep from loosing all my songs?

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new or different iTunes library, it will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library.

    Launch iTunes on the new computer. From the iTunes menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
    Connect the iPod to your computer then select it under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
    Then from the iTunes menu bar click File / Transfer Purchases From..

  • I have a new computer, downloaded itunes, how do I get my old library back?

    I have a new computer, downloaded itunes.  How do I get my old library back so I can sync w/ipod nano?

    Do you still have the old PC around? If so, you might be able to still copy the iTunes library from that PC over to the one.
    Or is the music still on your Nano?  If so, 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 new PC and into iTunes.

    Otherwise, you can redownload most iTunes purchases again at no cost using iCloud.  If the music and content was imported from outside of iTunes you'll need to either re-rip the tracks into iTunes or redownload them using whatever utility or store you originally purchased them from.

  • Bought a new computer, downloaded itunes and no longer have access to my library

    I bought a new computer and when I downloaded itunes, my previous library was not there (I thought it was generated by log in not by computer?)  I tried plugging my ipod in to see if I could transfer the music I have on the ipod to itunes library it won't let me, just asks if I want to sync and replace with empty library.  how do I get my music from my ipod to my new computer?
    Thanks

    Your library will only be where you put it.
    The ipod is not a backup device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • I just bought a new computer, now itunes tells me I can only sync with one computer.  It only offers me the choice to erase and sync.  I do not want to erase my ipod, I just want my music on the new computer.  Can't I just transfer the songs from the ipod

    I just bought a new computer.  Itunes only offers me the option of erase and sync, as I can only have it sync'd with one computer.  I want to move my music to this computer from my ipod.  Is this possible, or do I have to go back to my cds and upload everything from there?  I just want to be able to move my music from my ipod to the new computer.

    You need to transfer your iTunes Library from the old computer to the new one - then you can carry on syncing as normal. You can't move non-purchased music from an iPod to iTunes using iTunes. For purchased music, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases...

  • I am interested in purchasing a new PC and wanted to transfer all of the music on my Itunes onto my new computer's Itunes the easiest was possible. Any suggestions?

    I am interested in purchasing a new PC and wanted to transfer all of the music on my Itunes onto my new computer's Itunes the easiest was possible. Any suggestions?

    These are two possible approaches that should work to move the existing library to the new laptop.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your library or a backup of it then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How come I can't put music on my ipod? I already have a fair amount of music on my ipod but I have enough space for more. I am using a new computer with itunes and it is telling me if I wasnt to put the new music on my ipd i need to erase my ipod HELP!

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:

Can they go out of my account? Their content is saved on their iPads, but can another iCloud be on the same home computer?

    You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
    If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
    -> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
    Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine
