Problem recreating new itunes profile on a new hardrive

I installed a new hardrive on my cpu ( old one is there and still works, just full). I had itunes on old drive and had money left in my shopping cart with earmarked songs to buy. Now, I am on the new drive, just installed a new itunes, and it looks like it carried over some of the library on old drive, but I would like to put the listing of the earmarked songs to buy back into the new shopping cart( empty now). I thought the Apple site where I went to the store to earmark the songs would have the list and automatically put it back into the new shopping cart. It is not there. How do I get my list back into the shopping cart? thanks for help, will

If the tracks were kept in the iTunes Store Shopping Cart, then they weren't being held on your system and transferring to a new drive shouldn't have affected anything. Make sure you're logged into the correct account on the iTunes Store. If you are, try logging out of your Store account and back in.
Note that using the Shopping Cart as a "wish list" isn't a good idea. Items can be removed from the iTunes Store at any time, and if you have one in your Shopping Cart, it can in some cases corrupt the Cart if an item is indeed removed. You should only use the Shopping Cart for items you plan to purchase very soon (within a day or so). If you want to create a "wish list", create a normal playlist and drag the items you want to save to that playlist from the iTunes Store. That will keep them for future purchase while not risking problems with your Shopping Cart.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods discussed here: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer.  If you no longer have the old computer and you have to transfer it from your phone, you will have to purchase and use third-party software to extract the music from your phone, such as Touch Copy  or CopyTrans.

  • New iTunes 6.02 AND new QuickTIme 7.04 Video Sound Problems

    Hi, I had updated my iTunes for Windows 6.01 and Quick Time 7.03 to the newest versions. The new software both yield the same issue for me. They will not play videos with sound properly. When I am on Quick Time and click to play a *.mov that I have had way before iTunes or iPod, and any other playable movies in Quick Time, the video starts, there is no sound for a few seconds and then this clicking sound starts. For instance if I had a movie that is abour 20 seconds long, it will never get the synced sound with it. Let's say the first sentence would be Hi, how are you today-----------------it sounds like this: Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-how-how-how-how-how-how-how-how-how -how-how-how-how-how-how-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-e r-u-u-u-u-u-uu--u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u--u-u-u. I think you get the point. If this is a video with just sound and no spoken word in the video, it also sounds chopy, clicky, and vibrating like that and over the course of 20 seconds plays this out like this, when is should be the correct maybe 3 second part.
    This also is the same exact thing that happens in the new iTunes. Exactly. Whether it is downloaded from the iTunes Store or imported in, or even converted with the new convert to iPod option.
    The only good thing is when I put the 4 new movies on my iPod that I had converted form *.mov format with the new convert to iPod option, they play just fine on the the iPod which has the software version 1.0 software on it, not the newest firmware. But as I said nothing plays correctly soundwise from videos from the iTunes Software.
    I tried uninstalling both new versions and reinstalling them with the same problem. I therefore uninstalled them again and installed iTunes 6.01 back on my computer and thus QuickTime 7.03 and there are no problems at all with either older version of iTunes or QuickTime.
    Please advise. It this a diagnosed problem as of yet???

    Basically, my iphone has been in the same apple ID as my dads iphone and mac book, so my iphone has always been synced to his macbook. I bought myself a mac book the other day and want to sync my iphone to it. However i have obviously put my mac book in a different apple id as i know pay for things i download myself, how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?  ive now put my iphone into my new apple id thinking this might help? ive also tried clicking 'manually manage music and video' but this doesnt seem to work, it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • How do I sync my iPod to a new iTunes library on a new computer?

    Here's what's going on:
    I had to get a new laptop. I was able to backup my library to iTunes because I had recently bought a program called CopyTrans that lets you back up your entire iPod to iTunes. So everything that is on my iPod is now in my library, playlists and all.
    However, iTunes will not let me sync my iPod. In order to sync my iPod, I have to got to each section and check that box that says "Sync Music", "Sync Podcasts", etc. But then a message pops up saying that in order to sync these things, it will remove everything from my iPod and sync from my iPod.
    I guess what I'm asking is, can I trust this? I mean, since I was able to copy what's exactly on my iPod onto my library? I just don't like the idea of having iTunes remove everything from my iPod. It sounds sketchy. Also, does anyone know if by doing this will play counts and playlists be affected? Half of my playlists are based on play counts, and I don't want my play counts to reset.
    OR if anyone could suggest a way around it, and tell me how to sync my iPod without removing all of my stuff, that would be great too!

    If your computer has all the same songs and playlists on it that you have on the iPod connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Erase and Sync". This will erase your iPod and reload it from your new library, once the process is complete your iPod will be in sync and associated with the new iTunes.

  • Should I create a new iTunes Library on my new iMac?

    I have been using a MacPro with multiple hard drives. One such 2TB drive has been the location of my MacPro iTunes library and media files. It takes up about 1.5TB of space with all the music, video and books. I use EyeTV from Elgato to record TV shows/movies, then convert them and transfer to iTunes. I also backup my iPhone and iPad to this iTunes library. I don't use iCloud for this backup.
    I then purchased a new iMac with a 3TB Fusion drive. I plan to hang on to the MacPro to use on my home network as a file server, running "headless" perhaps.I plan to continue to use it for recording TV shows/movies in EyeTV and converting the output to iTunes videos.
    Now I don't know what I should do about an iTunes library on my new iMac. When I got my iMac I migrated my User over to it. However, when I open iTunes, it is asking for me to either create a new iTunes library or open an existing one.
    In my mind I have these options:
    1. Create a new library. Setup up iTunes Sharing. This could work for me to access my large library of music and videos. However if I start backing up my iPhone i will then have backups on both computers. I suppose I could dump or ignore the MacPro iPhone/iPad backups and just create new backups on the iMac iTunes? What about new content I want to add? EyeTV will still be adding new content to the MacPro library. My iMac has no optical drive so if I want to rip a CD/DVD I would still need to use the MacPro for this. So from that perspective, this option may work out the best. What am I missing?
    2. Open the iTunes library on the MacPro and make it my iMac's iTunes library. This seems problematic. If I understand correctly, I can't open this library on both Macs at the same time as this would likley cause issues. So I'd have to make sure I close out of one Mac's iTunes before the other Mac can open iTunes. This would be a pain given that EyeTV opens it up automatically when it is converting video recordings to iTunes video. For iPhone/ipad backups, I'm not sure what would happen here. Would it still backup to the MacPro iTunes library? I suppose it would. Another concern is the the MacPro would always have to be mounted on the iMac before I could access and use the iTunes library. So this options seems potentially frought with issues? On the plus I think this would retain the star ratings and other meta data, right?
    3. What about creating a new library on the iMac but then go into preferences > Advanced and selecting the iTunes media folder that is on the MacPro. This is similar to option 2 above but retains access to the existing library I have on the MacPro. However, I'd lose all my star ratings, and other meta data.
    Is there another option? Which way should I go? I am guessing option 1 is the best option. If you agree, please list caveats and downsides of it. If you disagree, please let me know the best strategy I should use and why.
    Thanks.

    Yes. Just copy all your music to a folder on your external. Then delete the music on your computers hard drive.
    It is not quite that simple. If you do that you will end up with many broken links and will have to re-create your library from scratch .  iTunes does not like it when you move or rename files or folders and doing so between drives is guaranteed to result in exclamation marks indicating you have broken the links to all your media files.
    If you are content with moving the whole library to an external drive (usually the best thing for most people), try:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • HT1535 I want to delete all of the music on my iPhone and reload from a new iTunes library on a new computer

    I acquired a new PC .  I had my iPone synched to the iTunes library on the old PC.  I now want to delete all of the music off of my iPhone and reload it with the new iTunes library that I am creating on the new PC.
    I tried seveal times using different synch options ...  all unsuccessful. 

    Hey finterra,
    Thanks for the question. With iOS 7 you can now delete your entire music library from your device. Simply navigate to Settings > General > Usage > Music then tap Edit, tap the minus symbol, then tap Delete.

  • Migrating/recreating existing iTunes functionality on a new drive

    I have an apparently-unusual and somewhat complicated problem. I have two drives on my PC, and iTunes is currently installed on my (now-too-small) C drive. I want to get rid of "everything iTunes" on my C drive to free up much-needed space there, and either create or re-create my existing iTunes functionality, but on my G drive. That is, I don't want to have to "re-teach" a new installation of iTunes where everything is and where everything goes, if possible.
    A great deal of my media libraries are not located in iTunes' C-drive folders, and are housed on my G drive. I really really don't want to have to add all those songs back into my libraries and playlists manually. But a fair chunk of my podcasts, music, movies and so on are contained within iTunes' various folders on the C drive. So to preserve them, I copied the "iTunes" folder from "C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/My Documents/My Music/iTunes" to my G drive root directory, renaming it simply "iTunes". I then redirected my existing C-drive iTunes installation to recognize this folder, changing it via "Edit >Preferences >Advanced >iTunes Media Folder location >change". (However, as a test, I renamed my C-drive iTunes folder to make sure that iTunes really was looking to my G-drive copy of the folder, and iTunes promptly lost track of everything, all my libraries, DL'ed music and movies, etc. I undid the renaming, and everything showed up hunky-dory again. So even though I told iTunes to look to the G drive folder for this information, some part(s) of it are still using the C-drive folders for it.)
    So. Is it possible to somehow transfer my C-drive iTunes' knowledge of where all my media files are on my computer, which songs are in which playlists and so on, to a new G-drive install of iTunes? The media files themselves aren't moving--iTunes would be. I would also need my idevices' backups to locate themselves on the G-drive, and my future purchases to download there as well. As a lesser issue, is there any trickiness about deleting the existing C-drive installation of iTunes without mucking up the G-drive install, once I get the G-drive install up and running properly? (I'm reluctant to create a new install of an existing program until I have some idea of whether the two would interact.)
    I have searched this procedure a couple of different times using Google, but haven't been able to find a reliable set of instructions addressing this particular situation. I find it hard to believe that no-one else has experienced this problem before, but I can't seem to find any record of how to solve it.

    Cool... Earlier in the thread you mentioned that you'd also got media scattered around the G: drive. In the long run you'll find the next transition will be much smoother if you consolidate this media into your *G:\iTunes\iTunes Media* folder. Consolidate makes copies of the files that are outside the iTunes folder inside the iTunes folder so you'll either need to have enough room to afford to temporarily double up these files or, if that's a problem, you can do it in batches. You can consolidate everything in one go using *Library > Organise Library > Consolidate files*, alternatively select group of files, right-click on them and click Consolidate to do it in stages.
    I'm assuming at this stage that you're happy with letting iTunes organise the files. If you prefer to keep your own layout (perhaps you've put certain genres in their own folders or prefer longer file/folder names than iTunes uses) then it is possible to get things organised in a way that is both under your control but also portable, however it requires a script to relocate the files as moving by hand and relinking is tedious.
    An advantage of getting everything organised inside the one set of folders is that your library can be easily reconnected if the drive letter changes. It is also possible to use a tool like SyncToy 2.1 to clone the library to another hard drive or network share for backup purposes, knowing that the backup will ready to use straight away should the need arise. A working backup is as important as knowing where your your towel is...

  • Can I backup my iPhone into a new iTunes install on a new PC without losing all my data?

    I've recently lost an old Windows XP PC which I have been using for several years and had my entire iTunes library and iPhone history. I have since purchased a new Windows 7 PC and installed itunes onto it.
    Is it possible for me to sync my iPhone onto the new computer without losing any of the data on my phone? I don't have any music stored on my iPhone so that's not a problem, however, I do need to save all the current Contacts, Messages, E-Mails and Photos that are on the iPhone. Any help is much appreciated in this matter.
    - JD.

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are replacing your computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.
