New computer, want to transfer music.

I recently got a new computer, and my itunes music, movies, app,etc. were on the old one. We want to get rid of the old computer. Is there anyway i can transfer my music to the new computer, or do i have to repurchase it all again?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
Have a read of this article:

You can't use the iPod touch as it doesn't have a disk mode but you can use either recordable discs, an external hard drive or a network connection in place of the iPod transfer part.
Do let us know how you get on.

    new computer,  want keep ipod music from old computer to new?

    Hi mtscott41,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have music on an iPod from your old computer. You now have a new computer but do not want to have the music from the iPod erased when you sync to the new computer. If the music on your iPod was purchased from iTunes you can either transfer those purchases from the iPod to your new computer’s iTunes Library or you can download the previously purchased content directly to your iTunes Library from iTunes. Please use the following article as reference for transferring purchases.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

    The following article will show you how to download all of your previous purchases directly to iTunes if you would like to proceed this way.

    If the music on your iPod was not purchased from iTunes and you still have the old computer, you may want to use a process called Home Sharing to transfer that content to your new computer. The following article explains Home Sharing.

  • 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!

  • New Computer want to transfer

    Please Help!
    I got a new computer. I just installed iTunes. How do I get the stuff that was on my phone to my iTunes? When I synced it, it didn't transfer anything.

    Doesn't work that way. I am sure if you try a search here first you will find it asked a lot and answered.
    There is a link to some KnowledgeBase article. But the process is you need to transfer all your old data from your old computer to the new one. Then you sync.
    The iPhone is NOT a backup device and not meant to have things come off. It is meant to sync with a library (mimic your computer).

  • HT4527 do i download itunes on my new computer before I transfer music from home sharing?

    Do I download itunes on my new computer before trying to home share with my old itunes account from my old computer?

    Install iTunes.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    Using Home Sharing will only cause problems.  Search the forums, people regularly post here regarding problems with moving media using Home Sharing, it simply is not reliable.

  • IPod on new computer- Can't transfer music

    IPod nano. Old computer hard drive was reformatted and I lost all my music. It's still on my IPod though.
    1. How do I get the current contents of my IPod music back onto my computer from my IPod.I used to see it in I Tunes?
    2. When I try to log into my I Tunes account, a flag comes up warning me that my music is associated with a different account. How do I access my account contents of music like all the stuff I purchased previously?
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    I want to transfer music from an old iphone to a new itunes but its not working

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

  • Have iPod that about 8 years old. Want to transfer music from old iPod to new iPod.

    My ipod is about 8 years. Want to transfer music fron old ipod to new one. Can that be done ?

    Hello try again
    All your media should be in iTunes so you can sync using iTunes to get the music over. If you have any purchases from the iTunes Store you may transfer them to your iTunes library.

    Hi,
    A painless way to do it ...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive

    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

  • HT1386 I have a new computer with windows 8.1.  I want to add the 52 Gb of music now on my old ipod to itunes on the computer.  I don't want to wipe out the files on the ipod by syncing to the new computer which has no music files on it yet!  How can I do

    I have a new computer with windows 8.1.  I want to add the 52 Gb of music now on my old ipod to itunes on the computer.  I don't want to wipe out the files on the ipod by syncing to the new computer which has no music files on it yet!  How can I do this?

    Apparently I wasn't clear.  The music on my ipod is but a subset of all the music on my external hard drives.  I want to import only the songs and playlists from my existing ipod into the itunes library on my new computer, which currently has no music or playlists.  How can I do this?

  • I want to be able to sync my iPhone 5 to my new iTunes library (new computer) and erase old music. When I connect my iPhone I have no option to "erase and sync."

    So I have the iPhone 5. My old computer crashed so I ended up purchasing a new computer and re-installing and downloading all my old music and new music.
    When I connect my iPhone to my new computer I can sync music but the old music still remains on my iPhone as well as the new music.
    There's a lot on the phone that I don't want anymore but I can't seem to figure out how to erase it.
    I don't want to restore the iPhone so I don't lose all my old messages and so forth.
    I have all of the latest updates for the iPhone and well as iTunes.
    If anyone has any answers to help that would be awesome!
    Thanks.

    Hey there,
    It sounds like you are not getting the prompt to erase and sync your device. This indicates to me that Manual Syncing was enabled on the original iTunes Library, and becuase of that it is also now enabled on your new computer.
    This is changable in the Summary tab of iTunes when you have your device selected, and this article will help you do that:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    Configure iPhone, iPad, or iPod for manual management
    To manually manage the content, follow these instructions:
    Connect the device to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. If your device isn't visible in the upper right corner of the screen, choose Library.
    Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos."
    Click Apply.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • HT1329 My old computer crashed but still have my IPOd with old music. How to transfer the music into new computer which has already music in it?

    My old computer crashed and I still have my music in an IPod. How to transfer the music/playlists into a new computer which has already music in it? (Not possible to copy ITunes of old computer in IPod)
    Thanks

    Lucky for you, I just found out how to get the music stored on your iPod by messing around with it. I'm not much of an Apple user (I only have a shuffle), so I'm not 100% sure it would work the same way as yours.. but it's worth a shot.
    if your iTunes didn't sync with your iPod yet,... that would be great..
    1, Make sure your iTunes does not automatically sync with your iPod (I don't know if this would help..)
    2, Click on your iPod and go to settings, check "Enabe Disk Use"
    Your iPod should now have a partition on My Computer called AFJCHAW's IPOD or whatever you named your iPod... If you go to that disk, you'll notice there's nothing in there.
    3, Click on Organize at the top right part of Windows Explorer(Windows 7, don't know how in XP..), go th the Folder and search options, view tab, and click on show hidden files, folders, and drives.
    If you go back to your disk, you should be able to find a folder
    4, It'll be pretty straightforward then. Go to iPod_Control/Music. You'll find folders there. Inside the folders are each of your music files (they're renamed but the Details would still be about the same).
    If you did get your music files back from this procedure, then, yay! it worked!!
    If you didn't,.... it should've worked..
