Old and new iTunes libraries??

I've recently got a new computer and I've downloaded iTunes on it. I transferred my files from iTunes on my old computer to my new computer through using my iPod. However I already have some music on my new computer and I can't combine the two libraries without erasing all my previous music. This would mean having to import all my CDs again etc, plus I have music on iTunes that was not purchased from the store. is there any way to combine both libraries without files being erased??
btw, i can't access iTunes on my old computer as I deleted quick time (unaware that iTunes can't function without it!!) and there is no antivirus set up on my old computer.
any help appreciated.

That's correct, there is no way to combine libraries.
The best way to move the library is to simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.  This way the library, playlists, and playcounts will stay exactly as they were on the old computer.
Any new content purchased from the iTunes store can then be downloaded and added to the library.

  • I accidently created a new apple account on my new phone, How do I merge my old and new accounts

    I had an old account but had lost access to the email. In frustration I created a new account to use with iTunes on windows. Now history repeats itself and I've a new iPhone 4 that I want to load with data from both old and new accounts. Do I need to just go to the Genius bar next time I'm in town or is there some way to log into each account, back up the data and merge to the new account?

    Actually not trying to merge the accounts, but back up the DATA i have stored in those accounts. Once I've pulled the many songs I purchased under the old account I'll burn them to something and delete the old account... and I think I've just answered my own question.
    i.e. Don't try to merge anything, just salvage music and other data (contacts, notes)

  • My airmac no longer finds cameras.  Will find iphone, but no longer photos either. My Canon Power Shots, old and new, are as good as rocks.

    Recently my MacBook Air  does not list devices that are cameras.  It used to, but does not now.  I have recently a) used MacKeeper, b) deleted movies, photos (thousands of those spawning ones) for space, c) installed ios 7 on my iphone, d) bought a Canon Power Shot SX 170is. 
    Image Capture, Image Browser EX, iphoto--nothing gets photos...nothing sees photos residing on my Canon PowerShots (old and new) or my iphone.  Macbook Air can not find cameras.
    Help.  All cameras are rocks now.

    MacKeeper is considered Malwear and has destroyed many iPhoto libraries - read the user tip on it - https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto?view=documents - my best guess is that your problem was caused by MacKeeper - I suggest you remove it according to the instructions in that user tip
    to  test depress the option key and launch iphoto - create a new library and see if it works correctly with your cameras - post back with the results

  • TS1389 I am trying to authorize my new computer to download all old and new songs From my library

    How do I authorize my new computer so I can download my old and new songs off my library

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
    See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • Old Ipod New Itunes

    Going through my room i found a very old Ipod Mini, and i want to see what music ihad on it, but the screen is totaly cracked and you cant see anything, when i plugg it into my comouter nothing happens, is there anything i can do? or is it a lost cause?

    Hey...
    I've got this really annoying problem I cannot solve.
    My iPod shuffle was and still is working properly,
    but I've got a new computer now and new iTunes on
    that same computer. When I connect my iPod to this
    new computer it recognizes it, but doesn't want to
    work (transfering music etc.) unless I restore my
    iPod. I tried to do that but my iPod was restoring
    for about 5 hours, and then I gave up cause obviously
    something was wrong. Can anyone tell me how can I use
    my iPod on two computers??
    Bad news... the Shuffle only syncs to one iTunes (and computer) at a time. Each time you synce it to a different one, the contents are wiped...
    And why doesn't it want to
    restore properly??
    Don't know... but you could try the Reset Utility:

  • T.code FF7A: how to see old and NEW open items?

    Hi All,
    I've filled the "Cash Managemeng Group" in the master data of a Customer.
    The report Cash Manag.& Forecast doesn't update its old open line Items.
    Only the documents successive to the insertion of the "Cash Managemeng Group" in the master data are updated in the report.
    Could anyone tell how to obtain all the items (old and new) in the report?
    Thanks
    Gandalf

    There are a couple options depending on the additional details of your situation....
    Within t-code FDFD, there is a button labeled Data Setup.  This button is intended for use when cash management (CM) is activated for an existing company code and CM needs to be updated with transactions created prior to the activation.  It deletes all data in cash management for the Co.Cd. and then builds the CM data for all GL, customer and vendor accounts.  There are also options to update CM for other areas (Sales, Procurement, Treasury, etc.)
    Also within t-code FDFD, there is a button labeled Correct Data.  This button can be used instead of the Data Setup button, if the CM data for a particular area needs to be corrected.  This function has the following options:  All GL accounts, All GL accounts with open items, All GL accounts w/o open items (non-open item managed accounts), All Customers/Vendors, All Customers, All Vendors.
    It's best to run these functions when transactions are not being created on the system.

  • Please help me to merge two places.sqlite to get my old and New history at the same time, every time i rename my two places.sqlite to see my old and new history

    every time i rename my new places.sqlite to see my old history and come back rename old places.sqlite to see my new history, i tired and i found No Way to merge two places.sqlite :( but it's must be found this way for The PPL to see their old and new history :(
    Thank You all in Advance

    You can't merge history otherwise then using Sync to store the history and bookmarks of one places.sqlite on the Sync server and then disconnect.<br />
    Copy the second places.sqlite file to your Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed.
    Then setup Sync once again using that account and merge the content on the Sync server with your computer.

  • Downloaded new ios7 and new itunes 11.1 and now iphone 4 won't finish syncing - just stays on last step and never finishes or cancels on its own. Tried reinstalling itunes with no success.

    Downloaded new ios7 and new itunes 11.1 and now iphone 4 won't finish syncing - just stays on last step and never finishes or cancels on its own. Tried reinstalling itunes with no success.

    I have the same problem.. latest version of iTunes (11.1.5) and latest version of ios (7.1) but it gets stuck at "waiting for changes to be applied" and I can't cancel the sync manually. It doesn't cancel on it's own either (at least not the 8 hours over night that it was syncing) and if I unmount the phone then the phone keeps the sync going (the little spinning arrows in the upper left corner) and doesn't recognize that it's been disconnected..
    I've tried restoring the phone (with little success, managed to get one more song on there) and syncing over wi-fi but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts, anyone?

  • HT5548 I upgraded one of my programs and now the old and new both appear on launch pad, and I can't delete the old one.  Is there a way I can do that?

    I upgraded one of my programs and now the icons for both old and new appear on the launch pad.  I don't need or want the old version to display, as it's been imported into the new one.  I can't seem to figure out how to edit it off the launch pad.

    Hi there,
    More then likely, the old version was installed independently from the App Store. The article below goes over the process for removing these application.
    OS X Lion: Install, update, and uninstall apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph4524
    To uninstall other apps, drag the app to the Trash (the Trash is located at the end of the Dock), and then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, and then choose File > Put Back.Warning: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your computer. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them.
    Hope that helps,

  • How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from Apple Mail.

    How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook in my company have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from my Apple Mailbox on my macbook and other Apple devices.  I do not have my mail backed up in time machine recently nor did I export my emailbox recently.  Any ideas?

    Try looking in your User folder.
    Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • How to get the old and new statuses of CAD indicator (DRAW-CADKZ) while changing the status of document (DRAW-DOKST)?

    I want to delete the originals of document while changing the status of document based on CAD indicator status. For this I have implemented BADI DOCUMENT_STATUS01 and the method AFTER_CHANGE_STATUS. From this, the BADI is triggering whenever I am changing the document status and I can able to delete the originals. But here my requirement is to check the CAD indicator status to delete those originals. I.e. whenever the document status will change first time the CAD indicator status will also change. Based on that old and new status of CAD indicator I have to do delete operation.
    If anybody has an idea about SAP documents please help me
    Thank you,

    First the document is exists in SAP in FR status. But when the CAD system will connect to SAP then the status is changing from ‘FR’ to ‘IN’ after that the CAD Indicator is populating from Blank to ‘X’.
    I want to know in which place the CAD indicator value is changing (any user exits available or any BADI s available when changing the CAD indicator) when connected to CAD system.
