Old computer, new phone, is an iTunes transfer possible?

I have an iTunes account and I'd like to transfer my music to an Android phone. My computer is too old to support the iTunes download from the Apple site. Is there any way to log on and transfer my playlists online?

You would have to read the directions that came with your phone to learn how to put music on it.
Itunes syncs with Apple devices.

  • My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

    Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
    You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
    If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

  • After hard drive transfer of itunes folder from old computer, music not showing in itunes on new mac

    Hi,
    I have just used the external drive method to transfer my itunes library from the old mac to my new macbook pro. I moved the whole itnues folder into the music folder, as directed, having removed the empty itunes folder than was there by default on the new macbook. But when I open itunes, none of the music appears, even though it is now in the right place. I am just offered the splach screen to 'scan for media', the same as when I opened iTunes when the computer first arrived. If I do that, I'm worried it's going to pick up everyting on the computer, and I only want my old itunes library to work!
    As I understand it from the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    ... (which I followed meticulously), all my music should now appear in iTunes. But it doesn't... any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Try copying the iTunes folder from your old computer again. Then, open iTunes holding the Option (Alt) key, so it will ask you for the library. Just go to the folder where the iTunes library is, and select it, so the songs should load correctly

  • My motherboard "fried" on my computer when the fan quit working.  I cannot access my hard drive on my old computer.  I just downloaded ITunes on my new computer; assumed it would pull all my playlists in under my Apple ID and password-no such luck. Help?

    If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
    Cheapest option:
    1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
    If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
    Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
    Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.

    Podcasts that I had subscribed to with my old computer are invisible in the iTunes store on my new computer. The error message says the podcast is not available in the US. Yet I could still download the podcast on my old computer before I switched. How can I fix this?

    Hello, ted_marx38. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID.  When prompted to authorize the computer it may show a different Apple ID.  If this is the case, the computer will need to be authorized for this Apple ID.  The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.

    I started using my husband's old computer.  It has his Itunes on it.  I logged his account out and signed in using my account info.  It only shows his songs and aps.  How do I get my songs and aps?

    After I saw you make a snide comment on another post, I looked into your replies and I have to say you're answers are condescending and show no signs you understand how to communicate to people, especially when they're seeking assistance. I assume you're not an Apple Employee, as I couldn't imagine they would tolerate how you treat their customers.
    I suggest a different approach when it comes to trying to answer issues for users, because how you're doing it now, doesn't work.

  • My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist. However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder

    My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist.However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder?

    Yes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
    Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
    I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
    Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
    Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.
    Good Luck

  • So I recently downloaded iTunes on a new computer because my old computer got broken. Does iTunes still have all the info I had on iTunes on the old computer on it that I could somehow download onto my phone?

    I had iTunes downloaded on my last computer and it broke. The last time I synced my phone was on that computer. But it broke, so I got a new one and I re-downloaded iTunes onto it and I have no idea if I can get any of the info that was on my old computer. Today, I had to reset my phone so I lost all of my data. Does iTunes save that info or since I got a new computer, does that mean I can't sync anything that was on my old computer into my phone?

    Hi Victoria,
    You can re-download any iTunes purchases by going into the iTunes Store and clicking on "Purchased" under the Quick Links section on the right. Once you get into the Purchased section you can then click on each tab (Music, Apps, etc.) and then click on the cloud next to the item you want to re-download, or click on download all at the bottom.
    You would also be able to recover whatever you have on your iCloud backup to your phone, if you have iCloud. You will need to make sure that if you do recover items from iCloud that you have iTunes set up so that it knows you are syncing those things from iCloud and not iTunes, or they will be wiped when you do sync.
    If you recover photos from your photo stream that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll so that they will back up to iPhoto when you sync.
    However, this is all you can put back into your iTunes on your new computer. Anything you did not back up that is not in one of the categories above is still on your old computer.....and that is the only place it is.

  • How do I get playlists that were made and synched to an old computer to download onto my itunes on a new laptop? These are PC's, not Macs.

    When I first got my Ipod nano I synched it to a computer in my basement. Now that I have a laptop, I wanted to move all the playlists and songs I had on the old computer to this laptop. I authorized the accounts that my family used and I hit the "transfer purchases" button. The playlists I have on my ipod from the old computer will not download onto the itunes in this laptop, nor will playlists on this new itunes download onto my ipod.
    Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I would really appreciate some help here, It's driving me crazy. Thanks for taking the time to read this. If you want me to be more specific on something let me know.

    The transfer purchases option only transfer purchased content from your iPod to your iTunes library and not other items such as playlists and non-iTunes purchased content.  You'll probably need third party software such as YamiPod to help you export the playlists from your iPod to your new PC.
    Better yet, if the old PC is still working using one of the methods described in this Apple support document to help transfer the library and all of its contents to your new laptop.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    As for why new content is not syncing to the iPod, it's because the iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  So right now, your iPod is still associated/connected with the old iTunes library.  In to link it with a new library, you'll need to restore it via iTunes.  Keep in mind that this process wipes all content from the device and resets all settings back to their defaults.
