iTunes is already pre-installed on all new Macs.  Do you mean that you updated it from Software Update? 
Your iPod Touch problems should be posted in the iPod Touch forums.  It's where the iPod users hang out.

  • If I've downloaded my music to an itunes library from an external hard drive and I have several duplicate songs, is there an easy way to delete the duplicate songs? Or, do I have to go through my entire library song by song to delete duplicates?

  • How do I move itunes library from my ipad back to my itunes library in my windows computer ?

    How do I move itunes library from my ipad back to my itunes library in my windows computer ? All the songs got transfered by mistake from my windows itunes library to my ipad. All i had wanted to do was to move a select # of songs newly purchased from my ipad to my ipod but I got mixed up. Before i knew it all teh library had been moved to my ipad?  HELP!

    You don't have to move the songs back into iTunes if you don't want to, the songs are still in iTunes on your computer - you just copied a version of the songs onto the iPad from iTunes.
    If you want to remove them from the device itself, just swipe across the song while you are in song list mode in the music app and a red delete button will pop up. You can also tap and hold down on a playlist or a album icon and the X to delete will pop up. It will not work for Genius playlists.
    You can also connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes, select the iPad on the left side, click on the Music Tab on the right, uncheck all of the music that you want to remove, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes, and that will remove the songs from the iPad.

  • My iTunes library has been replaced with my husband's iTunes library on our iMac. How do I get my iTunes library from my iPhone back onto my iTunes library on the iMac?

    My iTunes library has been replaced with my husband's iTunes library on our iMac. How do I get my iTunes library from my iPhone back onto my iTunes library on the iMac?  Help!!!

    Well, this is a problem, because the only material you can transfer from your iPhone (using only Apple software) is material you purchased in the iTunes Store.
    To do that, plug your iPhone into iTunes, then choose File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from iTunes' menu.
    Generally speaking, you should restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup.

  • I just got a new pc and tried to move my library from the one pc to another using my ipod.  When I did so, I lost about 20 songs recently downloaded.  I don't know where the songs are....they were songs that I downloaded using the ipod????

    I just tried to transfer my itunes from my old pc to new one.  I have music that is downloaded to all three devices...new, old and itouch.  I used the itouch to transfer the music, but now the music I downloaded with the itouch wifi disappeared.  Help!!!!

    Hi there,
    It sounds like your purchased content is not transfering via a flash drive. It may be easier to re-download this contnet directly from iTunes. Take a look at the article below for mor information.

  • HT201272 i just bought this computer and I am trying to download my library from my phone. how do I do this?

    I am trying to download all of the music from my itunes account to my new imac. please nhelp

    You might be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
    To copy it from your phone you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    And if you have music on your phone that wasn't bought from iTunes then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Or if you still have an old computer with your library on then you can copy it over from that : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

  • Have downloaded my library from a portable hard drive to itunes but not showing in library on home site please help windows 8

    trying to download music from portable harddrive and wont go to I tunes library saving as I tunes link.  working on windows 8..... Please help

    I'm not sure if iTunes will like to run those files if they're on an external drive. Honestly I've never tried. Have you tried dragging a few songs, maybe an album, into your 'music' part of your drive, then try to import them into iTunes?
    I moved computers a couple of months ago and that's waht I did, saved my music to a portable drive, then dragged it back onto my C drive and into the music folder, then imported it into iTunes.

    So, assuming you are not, what version of OS X do you have?

  • Access iTunes library from External drive after OS upgrade

    Because of its size I have recently kept my iTunes library in the 'Media Library' on an external hard drive and accessed content from there without any problem. After upgrading to OS 10 Lion, iTunes has created a new library on my internal hard drive. Now I'm trying to re-access the old library on my external hard drive.
    I have tried two things so far:
    - Gone into the iTunes Advanced Preferences and changed the Media folder location to my external hard drive location. That didn't work.
    - When I open iTunes holding the option key (as was suggested here) I am given the option of choosing a different library. But when I click on the iTunes folder in MediaLibrary I get the following message:
    An iTunes library file could not be found in the folder "iTunes". Please choose a different folder.
    All the content is there on the external drive but I'm assuming there are some .itl or /xml files missing. (I can see those as part of the new iTunes folder on the internal drive.) I have a floder named Previous iTunes Libraries on the external drive which contains some files with dates in them, two of which have the extension: .itl
    Should I perhaps move those files somewhere...?
    Any help is appreciated!!!

    Hello there FunkyMuzak,
    iTunes can be set to use the library on the external drive, and save new content.
    To have iTunes open the alternate library on the drive use this option:
    Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    You should see one of the following screens:
    From: iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1589
    And to tell iTunes to save your new media when you buy songs or movies, etc., use this part of our article named Where are my iTunes files located? found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Restore iTunes library from Time Machine, after full hard drive wipe

    I had to do a full hard drive wipe on my MBP running 10.6.6, so I made a full Time Machine backup before hand. I reinstalled os x (10.6.3) and used migration assistant to restore my files from the Time Machine backup.
    Most of this process has been painless, however, when I open iTunes it's empty. I have all the music files, iTunes Library.itdb, iTunes Library Extras.itdb and iTunes Library Genius.itdb. Is there a way to restore my previous iTunes library with these files? I feel like this should be a pretty basic thing to do but I haven't found much/any documentation of it online. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Take the files that you list and the iTunes music folder from the TM b/u and drag them to the iTunes folder. To put it in simpler terms - drag the iTunes folder from the TM to the same location on the internal HD.
    By default the path should be HD>User>Your Account>Music>iTunes(your iTunes files are here)>iTunes Music (your music files are here)

  • How do I get my iTunes library from my broken computer onto my new computer??? I allowed home sharing and also authorized the new computer but nothing showed up!

    How do I retrieve my iTunes library from a broken computer onto another computer?? I've clicked on home sharing and also authorized the new computer to my account but still nothing!

    It would help if you would describe what a 'broken' computer is. Did a truck run over it? Does it just not turn on? etc.

  • Why did i lose my apps and data after syncing to another new computer? i clicked transfer but only transfered part of the apps?

    Okay basically i had 166 apps in my ipod...
    After i bought new laptop and wanted to sync into it, it said to transfer apps from ipod touch to laptop, i did, but it only transferred part of it and said the remaining was not able to be transfered...
    i had encountered this problem when i transfered the apps in my old pc to my old laptop, now that i wan to transfer apps from my old laptop to my new one, i thought i knew what to do..
    i knew the problem was with the fact that the other apps was bought with another apple id thus not able to transfer as it is not yet authorised... while it was syncing, i authorised the older apple id that the apps was not synced yet... after i did, i realised i was left with the apps bought with my new apple id only...
    then i realised i lost all my data on my older apps, like the privacy photo app which had memories of my photos stored in it.. tap tap 4 all my songs in it... and 70 other apps..
    What happened? this did not happen in my previous attempt during my transfer of apps from old pc to old laptop... so why?
    its really really sad... all my data was lost, i got back the apps though.. but data in it all LOST...
    what to do? can i still retrieve it back?

    - Try redownling the apps by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    The computer has to be authorized and signed into the account that originaly purchased them.
    - When all the apps are ih the iTunes library, try restoring from backup if you have the backup that would contain all the app date. I would turn off autosyncing (go to iTunes>Prefernces>Device and check the box titled Prevent iPods...automatically" to prevent overwritting the previous backup.
