Restore entire music library from match

How do I restore my entire music library from Match to my computer?  I had a system failure and have had to restore everything.  iTunes shows clouds next to songs; do I need to download each one individually?  I've tried and some download, and others do not and honestly this would be very tedious.

To download more than one track at at time highlight the tracks you want to download, right-click and choose "download." However, this is not the most efficient way to restore an iTunes library. You should restore your personal data from the backups you make to an external HDD. You do make backups, don't you?

  • Want to import entire music library from iTouch to new HP laptop

    I have an iPod iTouch with a music library of about 2500 songs and I have a new HP Pavillion DV6000 Entertainment notebook computer (which runs Vista). My original iTunes library is in my desktop (which runs XP). The iTunes n the desktop is the one the iPod is officially affiliated with. Apple policy states that an iPid can only be affilaited with one computer. I want to import the entire music library (not just songs purchased through iTunes store) from my iPod iTouch into the empty iTunes library on the new notebook. I've heard mention of iGadget, iRepo and IpodAccess but I don't know how to use these to get what I want. Can anybody give input or specific directions to help me?

  • Downloading entire music library from iCloud

    Is there a way to download your entire music library to a PC from iCloud without having to click "download" on every song one at a time?

    One way: in your Songs list, select all (ctrl-A), right-click and click Download in the pop-up menu.

  • How do I transfer an entire music library from old PC that crashed to new PC

    I purchased a new computer and before I could transfer my music library to the new computer (Windows 8.1), my old PC (windows XP) crashed and I can't get access to it any longer.  I can see how to download one song at a time, but is there an option to download the entire music library? (iTunes version 12.01.26)

  • How to restore music library from match

    My music library was stored on an external WD hard drive.  It recently crashed and I was only able to recover a portion of my music files.  I have iMatch, and I can download all my previous music to my iPhone using this service, however I do not know how or if I can download copies of the music files in order to recreate my library.  At the moment, on my Windows8 laptop, when I open iTunes, it states it cannot locate the music file, do I want to locate it.    The "cloud" symbol next to the song states there was an error uploading to the cloud.   Is there a way to recover my music files with iMatch?  and why does my iPhone not show the same "error" that the iTunes applications shows on my laptop?   I have a feeling I will have to reburn the couple hundred CDs I have.

  • Is there a way to import your entire music library from an iPod classic into iTunes on  my PC?  PC was wiped out and my iPod is the only complete library copy I have.

    My PC hard drive was wiped out and I am rebuilding my Windows 7 system.  The only complete library I have of my music is located on my iPod classic.  Is there a way to import the library from my iPod into a  new iTunes library on my PC?  I was told if I connect my iPod to the PC, ITunes will try to sync with the iPod and wipe out the library on the iPod.

  • How do I restore iTunes music library from ipod(s) and gift card $s?

    Two Questions:
    1) Had to have my hard drive rebuilt due to a major virus issue with my computer. Had to remove all software. Now when I download my new version of iTunes and try to sync my iPod its looking for the previous software iTunes account and wants to either erase or transfer purchases from my iPOD. I do not want to lose my music library on my iPod. What do I do?
    2) How do I get my gift card $s back that I had in my previous iTunes account? I do not have the original cards anymore...

    1) Have you failed to maintain a backup? You should always maintain a backup.
    2) Sign onto your itunes account. The info is still in your account.

  • Uploaded entire music library from external hard driveto new iTunes account.  Only purchased music will play.  When I try to play other files, iTunes says it can't be used because original file can't be located and an exclamation point appears before song

    Please help

    You may be getting that error message if the setting 'Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library' is not turned on (in Preferences>Advanced>General).
    To sort all your songs out in one batch, my suggestion would be to remove all your songs from your iTunes library and re-import them all. However, as someone who also has a 5,000-song collection, I wouldn't want any of your songs to be deleted, so either do a backup or write-protect your iTunes music folder.

  • Transferring entire music library from ipod to second authorized computer

    I am writing this for my wife. She has windows machines. It seems that she can only transfer purchased songs from her ipod, not songs that she burned to her ipod from cds she owns. How can one do this? She already authorized the second computer. She has a color screen ipod with 30 gb drive.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • HT1349 I just purchased  new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded Itunes, but when I try to add my Music Library from the back up dvd's I created off my old computer it doesn't automatically start the back up process like it did before. How can I "restore"

    I just purchased a new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded new itunes, but when I try to "restore" my music library from the DVDS i made from my old pc it doesn't automatically restore my library as it used to.  How do I restore my music library from DVDS?

    Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this.  I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes.  I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you.  I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud.  So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out.  There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service.  As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough.  Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree.  But thank you for reading and replying.
