  • Trying to transfer iTunes content to new laptop

    Hi, I'm trying to transfer my iTunes library from my old laptop to a new one. I followed the instruction available here: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    After opening iTunes however, all of my music doesn't show up, and my old playlists didn't show up either. I checked the Media folder for the missing songs, and they are there but it doesn't show up in my Library.
    I ended up adding some of the steps from a separate tutorial, where I exported my old library (File > Library > Export Library), and imported the playlist to my on the new laptop.
    This made the missing songs and playlists show up, but it made duplicates of many songs and playlists, and it just makes everything messy and takes up a lot of unnecessary space. And yes, I did delete the duplicate songs and playlists, but then it just removes certain songs from playlists that are synced to my iPhone, and it would be too tedious to go through my libraries to find out which songs are missing!
    Both my laptops are updated to the latest versions of OSX and iTunes (as of Oct 8, 2014). The new laptop is Mid 2014 and the old one is Mid 2010.
    Also, I prefer not to use Migration Assistant because I don't want to transfer everything over.
    I'd really appreciate any help I could get with my situation! Thanks!

    my old pc broke, is there any way i can transfer my itunes library to new laptop

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, then you can redownload itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT1386 how can I transfer iphone 4 from the itunes on the old computer to the itunes on the new laptop without losing existing APPS,pics, music,...?

    I bought a new laptop, but my iphone is synced with the old laptop's itunes. So, I'm wondering how can i "transfer" my iphone onto new laptop's itunes without losing any apps,... because if I sync my iphone 4 with the new itunes I will lose everything.
    Please help. Thank you

    go to your music folder on the old.  copy your music folder.  on the new computer.  move that folder and replace the music folder thats on the new computer.  you have not added anything to the new comp right ?  then open itunes.  it will update your library to all those files and then run a backup.. hope that helps

  • Itunes installed on new laptop & i'm stuck, help please!?

    I got a new laptop yesterday & wanted to transfer my itunes library to my new computer.
    I plugged in my iphone & it's only transfered purchases from my iphone into itunes. None of the purchase i made on my old computer's itunes are showing.
    I made 3 purchases on itunes on my new laptop, synched my iphone but the new purchases haven't transferred to my iphone!!
    What can i do? I'm missing around 100 songs in my itunes library.
    My phone has all the music on it that it had before i plugged it in to my new laptop

    +Is there any way of keeping the playcount?+
    Yes, it's easy. Get the itunes database file from your old laptop.
    The easiest way is to copy the entire c:\users\username\music folder, which will include all the subfolders. The file
    iTunes Library.itl
    is in that folder. It's what holds the ratings, play counts, etc. If you have that, you won't get the message about your iphone being synced to another PC.
    There's another folder you need if you have iphone apps and don't want to lose the app data. Ask over in the iphone forums about that, as I don't have an iphone.

  • I cant get itunes on my new laptop.  My laptop says I have to remove itunes from another computer as I can only have it on 5.  Problem is that apart from my ipad, I no longer have the others as they were either broken beyond repair or lost.  Any ideas?

    I am not good with computers.  I am trying to get my iTunes onto this new laptop but it says I am only allowed to have it on 5 computers and I must take it off one to ut it on this new laptop.  Problem is, apart from my iPad, I have lost one laptop and two have been broken beyond repair so I am unable to take it off!  Anyone any ideas?  I have tried to get iTunes support but cant get past the "date of purchase" as I can only guess when I bought my ipod (2009)

    Hang on...
    You can only authorise the songs you purchase from the iTunes Store to play on five computers.
    You can download and install iTunes (the iTunes programme) onto as many computers as you wish.
    Two different things.
    Assuming therefore, that your problem is that you have authorised five computers, but now no longer have some of them, you need to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise the computers you still have.
    To de-authorise your computers, go to your account in the iTunes Store and look for the Deauthorise All button.

  • Since I updated my phone and installed itunes on my new laptop, none of the songs I purchased from itunes will work. NOT HAPPY.

    Since I last updated my phone and installed itunes on my new laptop, all the songs I purchased (and spent alot of money on) wont play on my phone or itunes on my laptop.

    thanks for the reply
    it looks as though i have to download them all again because next to each song on both my phone and laptop there is a cloud with a red arrow.
    i installed the itunes, then plugged my phone in and followed all the instructions- the itunes on my laptop shows all the songs but still has the cloud symbol

    I loaded iTunes on a new laptop. I copied and pasted my albums to a 4G stick and down loaded them to the new laptop. Placing them in, Libraries – Music – iTunes and than in Itunes used File – add file to library. So far so good. For what ever reason one of the CDs would not load onto the stick. I got the orginal CD and loaded directly to Itunes. Now when I look in  Libraries – Music – iTunes it’s not there but it is in and plays in iTunes. What should I have done or should I be doing? Thanks.

    It's not a unique situation - happens all the time, smaller hard drives getting filled up.
    It's also easy to fix. I just moved my itunes content to a bigger hard drive.
    First I made a backup of the itunes database file - iTunes Library.itl. Just in case anything went wrong.
    Nothing did go wrong, but I'd have it in case anything DID go wrong. That file holds ratings, playcounts, Date Added, and other metadata.
    Second, in itunes change the preferences > advanced tab to tell itunes to put everything on G:
    Set the itunes folder location to something like G:Media or G:iTunes
    This will affect all FUTURE additions to itunes and not do anything to the existing locations.
    Make sure the checkbox for "Keep itunes organized" is NOT checked. I also left the "Copy files when adding" unchecked.
    Third, to move all the files to G: without itunes losing the paths, run the File > Library > Organize > Consolidate command. This will need to run a while, so be patient as it copies all the files to the new G: location. This does NOT delete the originals. You will have to do that.
    Fourth, make sure everything in itunes is OK and you can play stuff in your library. If you're really cautious you can run a script to check for missing/dead tracks.

    I recently purchased a new laptop, when I loaded ITUNES on my new laptop it is not bringing up my purchases I had already made.  What am I doing wrong?

    I authorized the computer but it still does not have any of my music showing.  It has my remaining balance showing to use but none of the songs I had purchased are showing.
