Synching music not purchased on ipohoneto new computer

I figured out how to synch purchased music from my iphone but I have another 100 songs that I didn't purchase on my iphone how can I synch those to my new laptop?

Also, if you want to move you itunes library to a new computer, this article from apple support might help.

  • New music purchases on my new computer will not sync to ipod?

    How do I get new music purchases on my new computer to sync to my ipod?

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • HT1473 How can I transfer my music (not purchased from Itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes library on a Macbook Pro?

    I've recently bought a new Macbook Pro and in my Itunes Library everything I have purchased from Itunes is in my new Itunes Library.
    However I want to transfer all my music (not purchased from itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes Library.... and I have absoutely no idea how to do this? Also I'm scared to press sync when my ipad is plugged into my Mac incase will loose all this music!
    Help Please!

    The iphone/ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone/ipad/ipod.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

    You can also re-download most previous purchases (not just songs) from the iTunes Store from the Purchased screen.  So, you should be able to get the "one missing purchase" back too.  Sign in to iTunes using the Apple ID used to make the purchases.  Go to the iTunes Store.  (With the new iTunes 12, select the Music category first, then go to the iTunes Store.)  Click on Purchased (along right side under QUICK LINKS).  From the Purchased screen, you can find and download previous song purchases, at no cost.
    You can also re-download purchases from other iTunes categories, such as Movies and TV Shows.

    You will also have to copy the iPod backup file to the new computer and then restore your iPod from backup using that backup. The file is located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory
    You can also  make a backup on the new computer by conneting the iPod and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting BackUp. When you retore from backup sometime the app folder structure get messed up.

  • Can i transfer music from ipod to a new computer i do not have my old computer

    Can i transfer music from ipod to a new computer i do not have my old computer files as it crashed.

    For purchased songs you can plug the iPod into you new computer and use the "File > Transfer Purchases from iPod" feature in iTunes. For music not purchased from the iTunes store you will need a third party program to help. There are a few of them out there, and they are easy to find on Google.

    It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

    You copy it from one computer to the other.
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
    You have posted in the iphone forum.

    You can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. To switch:

  • HT1420 My songs that I purchased on my itunes account from my dad's computer will not play on my new computer, I have access to my entire account but can only play songs purchased using my new computer. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi Kevin,
    Have you authorized the Computer to your Apple ID?
    If not, sign on to iTunes.
    Then got to the Store menu option at the top of the screen (CTL+B if it is not showing), and click on it to display the dropdown, and select Authorize this computer.
    If that doesn't work, then sign on your Dad's iTunes ID and repeat the Authorization process.
    Cheers,

  • Adding on music for iphone with a new computer

    I'm sorry for this for being a noob question, but my old computer with itunes which synced with my iphone has died - so is there ANY way I can edit all song information without having to reformat/resync with a new computer?
    many thanks

    You don't maintain a backup copy? This is one of the many reasons that always maintaining backup is basic.
    If for some reason you did not backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You can backup your iphone ( does not include apps/music/vids/etc) to your new computer, see this article for clarification:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you enter at least one unique contact/calendar entry into your computer, then you should get the option to merge the data when you first sync.
    It is very important to always maintain a backup copy of all important info, as computer/hard drives do not always announce their pending failure.
