Putting my music on new computer

My PC computer had a serious brain **** and wouldn't start up.  I had to re-boot it from a prior set point which wiped most of my music off it.  I still have it on my ipod and I have not synced the ipod since so I wouldn't lose the music totally.  I got a new computer but I don't know if I should sync my ipod to it---will I lose all my music?  Most of it was downloaded from friend's CDs etc..

Backups do not contain media, so restoring from a backup will not put media back on the device.
If the media is not on the computer, there is nothing to sync to the device.
Where is the backup of your media and other important files from the old computer?  Use that to put all your content back.

  • Putting itunes & music on new computer

    Hi all,
    A few days ago my computer died on me, and I have since found out that there is no way of getting any information at all off my old hard drive.
    I have since bought a new computer, with Windows Vista on it. First of all, what is the best way of installing itunes again? Do I just get version 7.3 from the 'downloads' section? Will it work with Vista?
    Secondly, and more importantly, how can I copy all my music from my ipod back onto itunes on my computer? I have read various methods on here, but they all involve doing something with my old computer, which is obviously not an option. What's the best way of doing it?
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Kris.

    PS fyi, my operating system on my old computer was Windows XP, my itunes was up to version 7.1 I think, and the software on my ipod was version 3.1.1, which I think is the most up to date version.

  • Trouble putting purchased music on new computer's itunes

    I have iTunes on two different computers and I recently moved permanently to the location of the one with the least amount of music. I buy all my music through iTunes store, but I have quite a few songs I haven't put on my iPod yet that are purchased and on my other computer's iTunes. Anyway, I was wondering if/how I can get my already purchased music onto my new main computer's iTunes without it already being on my iPod. Thanks

    If you want to have your purchases on more than one computer you have to copy them from the computer they were purchased on. There are various methods to copy purchases between computers, CD-R, iPod, USB stick etc, you can read more at this link: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between authorized computers

  • My computer died rather rapidly so i had no chance to do a backup or anything. now i want to put itunes on my new computer but it will not sync with my ipod. i got my purchased music but not the playlists and it does not sync when i plug it in.

    my computer hard drive died rather suddenly so i had no chance to do a back up or any thing. i put itunes on my new computer and got my purchased music but my ipod will not sync and i cannot get my playlists onto the computer. is there any way to get my playlists on my new computer and also get my ipod to sync. it is a waste of time to purchase new music and i do not want to purchase a new ipod since i have so much memory left on this one.

    Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists  and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
    Thanks to all.

  • Ipod nano help with syncing music to new computer?

    I have two ipod nanos, one 6th gen. the other 7th gen, and the laptop I had all the music on and synced from cant be accessed anymore, so how can I get the music onto a different computer and be able to sync new music to them?

    Thanks!  I did it again using my iPod again.  (I couldn't find an external drive large enough)
    What am I supposed to do with the iTunes folder that is now on my desktop from the step below:
    Copy music to new computer
    To copy all your music files (including the library file that holds all your playlists and other settings) to your new computer:
    Locate your Music folder (Mac OS X) or your My Music folder (Windows) on your new computer:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Drag the iTunes folder in this location out to the desktop.
    Can I just delete that?

    I have used PCs for years, and still do at work.  But, last year my wife bought me a 15" MBP with the anti-glare screen (I was getting ready to buy for myself).  It took me all of 1 week to completely get used to the UI for OS-X, and now I really prefer it over the Win7 UI.  I have no experience with Win8.  Here are my thoughts:
    1) You can get a good computer using either a Win8 machine or a Mac.
    2) You will pay less for an equivalent PC.  But not as much less as some would have you believe.  You need to take into account the all aluminum body of the Mac (vs most PCs being plastic) and the size of the display.  And, don't forget that there is a lot of bundled SW on the Mac that you will actually find useful and would have to purchase for the PC.
    3) You can probably do everything you need on the PC platform with the right SW (you probably already know this since you are using one already).
    That said, I think some things are easier on the Mac.  For example, GarageBand is a standard part of the Mac SW installation.  I got up and running recording directly from my bass into a track with a song imported from iTunes on another track in a snap.  I only had to purchase a Jam adapter ($99) for the bass so I could come in over USB instead of using the audio in port (which did work, by the way).  You can do the same on a PC, but you have to purchase the SW from somewhere.  And, it probably isn't cheap.
    I use VMware Fusion to run those Win programs I already owned because it was much less expensive to buy Fusion than to replace them.
    I would not return to a PC for my own use, given a choice.  But, I would be very careful about getting my wife a Mac without careful thought as she is not as tolerant of learning new things as I am.
    So, there you go.
