HT1589 How to keep old music onto new itunes

I brought a new computer (Windows), downloaded itunes, and now I have no songs on this itunes. How do i sync my songs that are in my iphone onto the itunes without losing my old songs? When i try syncing it states that it will erase all my content on my iphone and sync it to my new itunes.
Help?

The ipod is not a backup/storage device. the sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

The above method would work with a standard external hard drive as well.

Old iPOD to new iTunes on new computer to new nano. Is this possible

I have an old iPOD and I have a new nano and new computer. I want to get music from old iPOD to new iTunes on new computer to new nano. Is this possible

Yes. You'll want to copy all the content from the older iPod back to your new iTunes library first. Once you have successfully copied and stored all of this content in your new iTunes library, you can set it up to sync to your new Nano.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

If you have the media on an iDevice then you should be able to get most of your non-iTunes purchases back as well. See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options.

Getting Music on new iTunes frustration

So I downloaded the most recent update for iTunes last night and eventually go it to download. Now today I am trying to put all my music back into iTunes since I had to uninstall my old one but none of the things I tried will actually work. This is the same computer I have used iTunes on for years now. I haven't had an issue with iTunes and putting music on before now. My disc drive isn't working right so I can't use that otherwise I probably wouldn't be having issues right now. Help!

One of the new features in iTunes 7 is allowing the iPod (has to be version 1.2 for Video iPod I think).
Authorize your new computer (when you put iTunes 7 on it after you get it) by going to Store -> Authorize Computer. Put in your store details and Authorize.
Then, connect your iPod and go to File -> Transfer Purchases from "(iPod Name)" and it will put all the purchased music from your iPod to your new computer.
For your other music, just turn disk use on for your iPod. To do that, go into your iPod Summary page and check 'Enable Disk Use'.
Then select all your non-bought music in iTunes and copy it into your iPod (if you have Windows it will show in My Computer).
Then just copy and paste it from your iPod to your other computer through My Computer.
Hope this isn't confusing and helps!

Can't burn a disc w new iTunes - help

Hi - trying to burn a cd-r w music (open source) using new iTunes. Can't get cd to register in iTunes. What am I missing?
Thanks for all help -
Lillian

Same thing has happened to me. I upgraded to itunes 9.0 and now I am receiving the disc drive or software not found error. Diagnostic also shows that my CD/DVD drive isn't recognized. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the itunes software as well as my drivers and it still isn't working. I have also done every tip recommended by Apple and on various forums to no avail.
I guess I should have stayed with the older version....I have never encountered this in the past. This is very frustrating, hopefully Apple can come up with a solution quickly.

Transferring music from new itunes to iphone.

How do i transfer music from a new itunes to my iphone??
*i dont mind deleting my old songs

If you don't mind losing the music currently on your iphone then plug it in and sync it.
Is it a new/different computer?
If so, make sure you have at least one contact and calendar entry in the computer so that you will get the option to merge that data when you first sync.

Old music onto new ipod??

You can restore/re-install i-tunes if you relocate your ipod files to another directory and then use the inport directories command under file menu.
I found out the only problem with this is that I lost 100 dollars or more of iTunes software I paid for. I consider this a theft on Apple's part. This is because the software doesn't allow for any work around. Yes I paid for it. You heard it here first. But even though I paid for it, I cannot use it on the new fifth gen iPOD!!
That's just not right. I am supposing this is another revenue generator for Jobs.

Linking old ipods to new itunes account and syncing songs

does anyone have any idea how???

It is an ipod from an account I had on a desktop that is no longer in use. I downloaded many songs from itunes but transferred most from CDs I owned. We moved to another state, and for the first 9 months, I used my ipod infrequently and never added any songs. Then I got an iphone. I mostly used Pandora. I ran a 5K without satellite service, hence, no music, so I decided it was time to download my own music to my phone. I could not remember my itunes account and it was linked to an email address that was with my cable/internet provider in the prior state. So, I started a new itunes account. I've been running happy since until I decided to train for a marathon and I discovered that my iPHONE battery will not last all 26.2 miles. And there is NO way I can do that without music. So, back to my ipod. I would love to add more music and create a playlist that is strictly fast paced music so I won't have to fast forward while running, BUT...I can not get the 2 to link up. I can't transfer the new songs on to the ipod, or the old songs on to the computer. I have tried to authorize this computer, but again, I can not remember the password. It also sends the info to my old email address which is no longer valid. There are 691 songs on the IPOD, erasing them all and starting again will take up too much time. I leave tomorrow to fly to dc at 11 am.

Can't import old folders into new iTunes on new computer

Morning, all -
I got a new computer and restored all my old folders on it, music included.
When I downloaded iTunes again, I was surprised to find that a) it didn't just import my old music files, and b) I'm unable to do so even manually.
I've tried dragging and dropping the music folders - individually and as a group - into the new iTunes folder (iTunes Media now instead of iTunes Music), dragging folders directly into the iTunes window, and importing folders through the menu bar. None of the options work. I don't get an error message, it just sits there and doesn't do anything (which is even worse than getting an error message, which I could at least then track down to resolve).
It's getting frustrating - it's proving to be a lot less user-friendly than it should be, and for what I would think is a relatively common situation.
Any insight on getting this thing going would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, Chris -
The problem here was that while I'd thought my entire music collection was stored by an online backup service prior to wiping my harddrvie, it turns out that such ISN'T the case. Hence, all the music's gone. So when I did the restore of all the data from the service, then fired up iTunes, while all the music SHOULD'VE been put back in its original filing system (and so, migrated to the new iTunes folders cleanly), that didn't happen. Took me a couple of days of frustration before realizing that while the folder/file structure of all the music was retained, the music itself wasn't. Hence the lack of initial migration, and the reluctance to import any folders manually; the cupboard was bare.
All of this, however, has led to yet another problem. It's related, but a different topic, so I'll start a new thread on it...
Thanks again.
