New computer, trying to transfer music from my ipod onto this computer...
Hi there, I can't seem to figure this out. I used to have a Powerbook, but it was stolen when my house was broken into. I just bought a new computer, and I have all my music on my ipod. Is there any way I can transfer this music to my new MacBook? Please say there is, I can't bear the loss of all my music.
i'm having the same problem. my old powerbook died, which was what i synced the ipod with. when i try to sync it on my new macbook, it says it can only be synched with one itunes account. i need to get a lecture off the ipod which is a .wav file. will ipoddisk work with that? also, is there anyway to switch the account to my macbook itunes so that i don't have to keep doing this? thanks a bunch!

Just got a new computer and none of the music from my old computer's itunes transfered when I transfered the contents of the old hard drive. Now I'm trying to transfer music from my ipod and can't get all the files....help please?
The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to purchase a third partyn program to get the rest ( not supported by Apple) -

Just bought new iPad trying to transfer everything I have on the old one over to the new is there anyway I can do this without losing stuff
In most countries, music and apps can be downloaded for free in the iTunes/App stores if you log into the new iPad using the Apple ID with which you used to purchase them. The same goes for most films. You can also sync the old iPad with a computer and then sync the new one with the same computer, and restore it from the backup you made of the old iPad.
If you have notes and emails on the old iPad, go into 'System Preferences' and make sure they are saved into the iCloud. You can then retrieve them from the cloud by logging in to the same email/iTunes accounts on the new iPad. -

How can we transfer music from two iPods onto one new one
My partner an I have two iPod classics and an iPod touch, can we transfer and edit the content in store when the new nano arrives as we have no access to a PC?
iPods (that are not iPod touch) need to sync with a computer (Mac or Windows PC) running iTunes. There is no way to transfer content directly between iPods, or using an iOS device (like your iPod touch).

I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC (Windows Vista Home Basic) that uses an external storage device to store the files to a new PC (Windows 7 Starter) that will use that same external storage device. I am also dealing with the new iTunes 11. How can I accomplish this successfully? What folder does iTunes use to store the data in? I've tried several things. Home Sharing caused duplicates but not all songs or apps transfered. It is a large library! I've tried just setting the path in the Advanced Tab of iTunes preferences of the new computer with the external drive connected the same as the path when the external drive is connected to the old computer. This was the best solution so far but still a few artists missing and some apps. Any suggestions?
Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

I tried to transfer purchases from my iPod to a new computer, but for some of the songs it asks for a different Apple ID and password than mine. Ideas?
You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma. -

I had to have the hard drive replaced on my computer and i lost all my iTunes data and I hadn't backed up my music. can I still transfer music from my iPod to a new iTunes?
Music Rescue also works as far as restoring your playlists etc. I've used it twice, you can use the Quick Recover mode, but have to click continue trial (something like that) allot, cp. to purchase option. Otherwise diesel is right as far as restoring via your purchase history.

Why is the "Import" button grey when I'm trying to transfer music from one computer to another using Home Sharing?
Hi lexipuppy,
I dont know if you have your music on your other computer was on itunes, but if it was, make sure that you signed into your itunes account on your other computer. If you are signed in then your music should show up in your library. -
I want to transfer music from my ipod to a new computer can I do this?
can I transfer music from my ipod touch to a new computer?
Sort of... but the best bet is to transfer/copy your entire iTunes media folder from your old computer to your new computer. Otherwise you may not get all your media copied.
iDevices are not backups, they are simply mirrors of what exists in your iTunes library.
