    How do I transfer music library to non-iPhone smartphone?

    You would have to read the instructions that came with the phone to see how to put music on it.
    Not sure why you posted in the ipod Nano Forum.

  • Transfer music library, iPad to Macbook

    The drive failed on my laptop. Bought new laptop and had critical data restored, not including music library. Purchased music resides on my iPad which was synced with old laptop. Trying to transfer purchases to my new laptop, no go. Trying to sync my library to new laptop, no go. For some reason it transferred about seventeen songs and done.
    Also download of software update not possible as message recognizes purchased items on iPad that have not been synced with Laptop. Also downloaded Garage Band for iPad and although it shows up as a purchased item on laptop, won't sync or transfer to iPad?
    Any kind suggestions....pppplease?

    Hi,
    Bought new laptop
    Launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
    Restart your iPad. Try syncing again.

  • How do I transfer music library from one pc to another?

    I just purchased a new pc and I'd like to move my music library to this new pc.

    Thank you Niel!  Using the external drive method worked!  I am happy to have all my music on the new pc.  I had paid for the Geek Squad to do this, but they copied my music over and left me with 4 copies of each song.  It was a mess!  With your help, I was able to copy it over just once.
    One more question, do you know how I can copy my playlists over?  It didn't come over with the music, but I do have the playlists on my external drive.  Do I just put them in the same folder where my new playlists will go?

  • Can i transfer music library?

    is there any way that i can move my music library to another computer without having to remove songs from itunes because i dont have enough space in the ipod?

    There are a few things you could do, from networking the two computers, using CDs or DVDs as already suggested or using an external hard drive to make the move. Have a look at this User Tip: Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC
    If you can network the computers there is also this one: Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows

  • Transfer music library to my laptop??

    I just purchased a new MacBook. I have a large iTunes library on my iMacG5 desktop. I want to transfer some of my library to my MacBook. I connected them using an ethernet cable and enabled file sharing on both computers. I still cannot seen to transfer songs. Please help.
    thank you

    Start on your iMAC G5
    create a folder e.g. "transfer" that can be accessed from both Macs
    Launch iTunes on your iMac
    Create a playlist that contains all songs you want to tansfer to your MacBook
    fill that playlist
    select all those tracks on that playlist by pressing Command-A
    drag the selected songs to that mentioned folder "transfer"
    all tracks should be copied to that folder "transfer"
    Switch to your MacBook
    launch iTunes
    drag that folder "transfer" onto "Library" in iTunes left column
    again all tracks will be copied
    finally delete "transfer"

  • How to transfer music library from iphone 4 to iphone 5.

    I cannot figure out how to transfer the music from my iphone 4 to my new iphone 5.

    If iTunes purchased content, you can simply re-download it directly on your phone. For non-iTunes purchased content, you need to get it in your iTunes library, then sync it to your phone. If not already in your iTunes library, you'll need third-party software to extract it from your phone:

  • Two users, same pc, how 2 transfer music library from 1 itunes 2 another

    both my wife and i have itunes on the same pc but i have an extensive library of music, how can i transfer all my music from my itunes into hers using ipod if needed

    You don't say how your computer is set up, I'm presuming two separate Windows user accounts. You could do a couple of things, one is simply share your current library and you'll find a guide here:"How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195
    Or if you prefer separate libraries, you could use your iPod to move a copy of your iTunes folder into the other account, the guide for that is here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173-en

  • How do i transfer music library from ipad to laptop?

    how do i transfer the data contained on my ipad over to my new laptop?

    You're going to run into problems syncing with the new computer unless you copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one.  This article explains various methods for doing this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.  The folder contains criticle iTunes library files that define the syncing relationship between your iPad and your iTunes library.
    If you attempt to sync with a new, empty iTunes library, iTunes will remove all iTunes media (apps, music, etc.) from your iPad, and replace it with the media in the new library (if any).  If you copy your entire iTunes folder to your new computer, then authorize the new computer for your Apple IDs (in iTunes Store>Authorize This Computer), you will be able to sync just as you did before, and all of your music, apps and other iTunes media will be on your new computer.

  • Transfer music library to external hard drive

    I just got a Nano and downloaded itunes to my PC. I started loading my own CDs into the library when I decided to buy an external hard drive to keep my music rather than take up space on the pc's hard drive. I was able to transfer the itunes files to my external hard drive, and copy the few albums i had downloaded. however, when i went to delete the songs from my pc's hard drive, it also deleted the files from my external hard drive. Then when i went to re-load the cd's onto the external hard drive, it apparently loaded them into a library on both the pc hard and the external hard drive. How do I un-sync the two libraries?

    I have been trying to do this and encountered serious problems. I wanted to have iTunes on an external drive and run it from the E drive, removing it from the C because the C was way too full. I did not want to do anything fancy like maintaining some songs on C and others on E, etc. Earlier advice from discussion did not include all the following steps:
    "Move the entire iTunes folder including music to the external drive."
    "Click on the iTunes icon to start it, then immediately press an hold the Shift key in Windows, Option key in Mac." **I simply copied all iTunes to my new external hard drive by clicking and dragging it in**
    "iTunes will ask to Create new library or Choose existing library. Select Choose existing library and select the library in the folder you just moved." **iTunes never asked me this**
    Move the old iTunes folder to the trash but do not empty it. **I didn't do this until I checked the E (external hard drive) several times and found the complete iTunes collection - music, movies, tv shows & podcasts in it. I also purchased a new show from iTunes and it was in it too. So I thought I was safe.
    After checking and opening iTuens when I was in the E drive several time, I deleted iTunes from my internal - C drive. It said it did have shared folders associated with it, but I thought it was referring to my son's library on the family MAC on our network which sometimes shows on the left navigation column that allows me to play his music but not copy into my iTunes, so I said ok. Wrong move! It wiped out everything in my iTunes on both my C and E drives!
    "Restart iTunes normally and verify the songs work. If they do, empty the trash." **Wish I knew this and the above first." **To recover my iTunes content, I installed a 3rd party app which allows one to copy everything on the iPod back into iTunes. It was very cumbersome. Although I downloaded it to my E drive, it still was in both the C drive and E drive. After a more complex operation than the instructions stated, I thankfully have everything from my iPod back in iTunes and recreated my playlists manually. But unfortunately it is still on both my C and E drives - still leaving me with low disk space messages on C. SO HERE IS MY QUESTION: when I connect the iPod I get the message - "The iPod is synced with another library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this library- it can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time." (By the way this is for an 80g iPod Video - with a 30G laptop.) Now that I have recreated my iTunes on both C and E - is it ok to do this sync? Or will I have more heartache - lose something, lose everything, etc?
    And after doing this - will I be able to use iTunes and the store again normally?
    Secondly, is there any way to get iTunes off my C drive and run it always through the E drive without losing anything?

  • Can't transfer music library from old desktop to new laptop computer

    I am hoping this is an easy fix, but I have I-Tunes and all my music originally loaded on my desktop.
    I just rcvd a new laptop and loaded I-Tunes onto it, then plugged in my I-Pod and it won't allow me to sync on both computers are the same time
    "This I-pod is synched with another I-Tunes library. I-pod can only be synched with one librart at a time"
    and it wants me to wipe out the all my music and synch with the new computer
    1) Can I have the same music on both computers and connect my I-pod?
    2) How can I just dump all my music on the I-pod to my laptop w/o a external drive or something like that??? Can I use the i-pod to do this?
    Thanks

  • How to transfer music library from iPod to iTunes to replace a failed hard drive on a Macbook Pro?

    My MacBook Pro hard drive failed and I was only able to save a few songs out of a library of over 5,000.  My iPod Classic, luckily has the entire library on it, BUT all I can find is how to update the iPod with the current iTunes library on my new and empty MacBook Pro.  How can I do a reverse update, from iPod back to the iTunes library on my computer?

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • How to transfer music library onto new desktop hard drive?

    I just recently bought a new FreeAgent desktop 250 G hard drive because I was almost out of free space on my computer. Now I want to transfer all of my songs on iTunes onto that drive. How do I do that?

    ok i clicked to "select all" on my iTunes and then dragged all the songs to the desktop hard drive. It says it is copying the songs. After it is done, I'll still be able to access all of the songs and sync them normally right? The only difference will be that instead of them being on my Local Drive they'll be on the desktop hard drive.
    Is that right?
