New iTunes on a new computer.

My computer died.  I had many gig of music on my iTunes from CD's that I had uploaded (not purchased from apple store).  The music is still on my iPhone.  How do I get it back into my new iTunes on my new computer?  Is there an app I can use or something?  I really don't want to manually upload 100s of CD's again.  Since it was not purchased music, it is not in the cloud.
Your help is appreciated,
Christy

  • HT1206 Can I sync my wife's new Iphone with "my" Itunes or should I just set up a new Itunes account on her computer???

    I just tried to sync my wife's new Iphone with "my" ITunes.  Bad mistake!!  I guess "my" itunes thought her phone was mine and "somehow" went into "restore" mode and basically turned "her" phone into mine - ie. contacts, photos, etc.
    Can your have two phones one Itunes??  Or should I just open a new Itunes account on her computer and "start" from scratch??  If I do the later, how do I transfer all the music on "my" Itunes to hers???

    You can sync as many iphone/ipads/ipods as you like to one computer/library.

  • How can I sync the music on my iphone to a new itunes on a new computer without losing everything?

    Just recently I got a new laptop which means a fresh, new itunes. The old computer had all my songs but it's a really slow old computer so i can no longer sync my iphone to it anymore. so i was wondering how could i sync the music i have on my iphone to my new itunes on my laptop? the only option i've seen is syncing the 3 sample songs i have on my itunes to my iphone but then i would lose all my other songs. help.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    Iphone will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • 60G Ipod, new iTunes locks up my computer when syncing?

    What the heck???!!! i have a 60G photo ipod and after updating w/the new iTunes 7 software my computer immediatly freezes when syncing. I already tried reseting ipod, also restored ipod no use. I've got 20G of music i want to download to ipod and i can't?
    Can someone help please?
    Thanks!

    I also am having problems updating my 60GB ipod photo.
    With itunes 6 it would take 5-10 minutes to update.
    I waited until 7.0.1 was released thinking that the patch would have addressed the bugs in v7. However now my ipod takes 2.5 hours to update (even when no changes have been made). This performance can not be blamed on any other software as itunes is the only app that has been updated.
    Itunes uses 85% of my CPU for around 2 hours before any ipod activity occurs. So it may appear that it has hung but will eventually get there. The PC is unusable though during this time.
    I can't believe apple didn't detect these issues during testing.
    Does anyone know if apple are addressing/acknowledging this problem and when an update/workaround is likely to be released.
    Spending 2.5 hours every day to update my ipod is not acceptable.

  • If i create a new itunes on a new computer and then connect my iphone to it will it clear my phone or simply copy all apps and items to the new itunes?

    If i create a new itunes on a new computer and then connect my iphone to that computer will it clear my phone or simply copy all apps and items to the new Itunes?

    Do not create a new iTunes account... accounts cannot be merged.
    Install iTunes on the new computer.
    Syncing of iDevices does not import content to a computer, the sync is one way from computer to iDevice.

  • What can I do simply  to keep all my previous contents, (own pics, videos, etc.) on my previously authorized iPad on PC, but get a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with a new  iTunes on my new Mac?

    Friends,
    I already had an iPad(1) and its full contents (not only the purchased items, applications from Apple, but my all own pics, videos, songs etc.) is normally syncronized with an authorized PC (Windows) computer.
    Now,  I've bought a new MacBook Air computer, and want to sell my PC. But I don't know how to transfer (or syncronize) all of the contents from my previous iTunes on PC to the new one on the Mac.
    When I connected my iPad to my new MacBook Air, I promted, if I want to change authorization of my iPad to the MacBook.
    But also got a warning, that the new iTunes will delete from my iPad all my previously syncronized items, pics, videos and music, with the previously authorized  iTunes on the previous computer, expect the saved pics from the net.
    What can I do just like that, simply  to keep all my previous contents on my iPad, but have a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with the new  iTunes on my new Mac?
    Thanks a lot for your answer.

    Here are some instructions that I have posted several times that may be helpful to you as they have been to others. You can simply ignore anything that does not apply or that you have already done.
    As Alan stated above - transferring the iTunes library is the best first step. If you can transfer the iTunes library to the Mac, most of this will be unecessary for you to do.
    Very Important ....
    1. Authorize the computer.
    2. Turn off auto sync in iTunes
    3. Transfer purchases
    The text in italics is from the other thread - non italics are my words.
    The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your new computer, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your computer, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your computer. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

    One final note - you may want to leave auto sync turned off - but that is totally up to you. I never did use auto sync.

    Yes, you need to purchase Snow Leopard v10.6 from Apple.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard from the Apple online store > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store

  • How to transfer single device from one iTunes account to new iTunes account on another computer?

    I have been successfully using a single iTunes account to sync & back-up two different iPhones.
    One of those iPhones belongs to a now ex-boyfriend (no longer living with me), and naturally he would like to transfer the back-up data for his device to a new iTunes account (Apple ID) on a different computer.  While ongoing be able to sync, backup and update software for his iPhone on his computer.
    Is this possible?
    I understand that recovery of the current media on his phone (i.e. apps, music, photos, etc.) that are all stored on my computer through my iTunes account will likely not be possible, but he doesn't want to erase all the important data/content (i.e. contacts, calendar, etc.) on his iPhone without being assured that a previous back-up can be successfully restored using his new iTunes account/library.
    I'm aware of the back-up location & files for his device and can provide those to him on an external USB drive, but can someone please advise exactly how the restoration/procedure should work?  Or is there an alternative?

    That's kind of a strange way to things, even if it's what Apple told you to do.
    Do this.
    - Access your *local* library
    - Go to iTunes->Preferences->Advanced
    - Select "Copy Files...." and "Keep iTunes Media File Oroganized"
    - Locate the files you want on the external disk
    - Drag them into the "Library" area of your sidebar
    This will put the files in your local library and copy them to your MB.
    They will still be on your external hard drive. You will have to separately delete them from that library if you want to.

    Do you mean iTunes library?
    iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
    iTunes library is what is on your computer.
    It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
    No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
    Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

  • How do I transfer a purchase to a new iTunes on a new computer

    I purchased a sond on one PC through Itunes. Now I want that song on my macbook, but I don't have an Ipod. How do I see that song in the itunes on the new computer?
    Itunes immediately synchronized the ballance in dollar amount ( surprize-surprize), but the song.....where do I start. FIrst of all, when I look it up in the itunes on a new computer - it offers to buy it again!!!!
    But when I click on it, it says "purchased". So how do I get that song to the this computer? . Oh yeay. "Check for new downloads" menu says that all items are donwloaded, but that's not true!

    Go to the iTunes Store. Click on "Purchased" near the upper right part of the iTunes Window. You can re-download all of your previous purchases there.

    Hi There
    You can only transfer purchased music from your iPod to iTunes using iTunes. However there are third party utilities that you can use to retrieve your music, just do a google search or have a look on http://www.versiontracker.com
    Hope this helps

  • Will 1st gen ipod touch still work with new itunes library on new computer (transfer didn't work from old computer)

    Ok, so I have a new computer and wanted to transfer my itunes library from my old computer. I could not get the files to transfer. I downloaded the newest version of itunes and see that I can download my previously purchased music to the new computer. I have mp3's that I can add in on my own so I don't have a problem starting over in itunes.
    My question is what happens when I plug in my 1st gen ipod touch and try to sync??? Will it erase what is on my ipod or will I be able to move the stuff from my ipod into my new itunes library?? Any info would be great...I'm happy with how my ipod is set up so I really don't want to mess with a good thing. Also, will I need to update and of my software on my ipod since it's 1st generation??
    Thanks for the help!!

    You can only sync to one iTunes library/computer. If you do sync the iPod is erases and its contents replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
    To avoid that see:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    Yes, the 1G works with the latest iTunes.
    To transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • I have a new computer, and a new iTunes. My old computer crashed and I cannot access the harddrive. How can I switch over my iPod and iPad to my new iTunes?

    My laptop crashed and I cannot access the harddrive. How can I transfer everything to my new iTunes to be able to sync my products with having to "erase" and start from scratch on evrything? Any insight will be greatly appreciatted!  Thank you!!

    Your iPad is married to its now deceased old computer. This is the reason for the necessity of a backup for your computer, which your iPad is not.
    Your iTunes Store and App Store purchases will not be lost. Just don't "erase and sync" when you sync your iPad to your new Mac:
    If you want to move the iTunes Store purchases on your device to the new computer, choose "Transfer Purchases." The new computer must be set up with your iTunes Store account and authorized to play your iTunes Store purchases in order to transfer your iTunes Store purchases.
