Transfering music from either my ipod or from old itunes to new computer

i just got a new MacBook Pro with itunes i would like to get my songs from my old itunes on my other computer to this one but i dont think there is any easy way to do it. if that doesnt work i would like to get my music off my ipod to my new itunes

This doesn't appear to be an option anymore. 
I can check songs but there's no transfer button -
Syncing doesn't transfer songs in that direction -
You can add to a playlist but the song still isn't there.

  • Transferring music from old PC to new mac

    Hey guys,
    I recently sold my alienware to buy the new macbook pro. That being said, I never had both computers ar the same time - I sold one, then bought the other like a week after. Now, as I try to transfer all my iPhone's data into my new macbook, It seems that the only option for my music is to erase it. This has struck me as an enormous inconvenience; Is there a way-simply put-to plug in my iPhone to my new mac and transfer all its music to the mac's library?
    Thanks in advance,
    Omarjr50

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your iphone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought music from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your iphone got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Transferring music from old pc to new mac via Ipod

    Hi,
    I got a macbook and want to transferr the songs already on my 20GB Ipod colour into the iTunes library. My old computer was a PC and the ipod is formatted for windows. Can I do this, and how??

    Yes, you can do it, a PC formatted iPod can be read by Mac. Download and install a 3rd party software e.g. Senuti on your Mac

  • Transferring music from old iphone to new iphone without primary synced laptop

    i have an iphone 5 that was synced to a laptop i no longer have, i now have a new iphone is there any way to get my music from my first phone to a new laptop to then put on my new phone? please help i have all the apps and photos and contacts transferred but i cant get my music back

    Try a synch with iTunes on your computer again.  This time, while the iPhone 5 is plugged in, click on its icon on the left, then the "Music" tab on the right.  Choose the correct music sync option (to sync music and playlists).  Then clock "Apply" in the lower right.

  • Having trouble transferring music from old PowerBook to new iMac

    I'm having trouble transferring my iTunes music from my old PowerBook to my new iMac.  Trying to follow the online instructions by using an external hard drive to transfer from one to another.

    Hi Skingz,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Is the external hard drive that you are working with formatted for Mac OS Extended Journaled?   Is there enough space on it?  
    The process is the same regardless of the operating system you are using:
    OS X Mountain Lion: View information about your disk
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11086
    Formatting erases the contents of the external drive so be cautious.  Also this process is for any application, not just Aperture:
    Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3509

    If you are still not able to copy the library to your new computer this way, then the alternative approach would be to copy the music folder from your old computer to the external drive, and then add the music folder to your new, empty iTunes library on the iMac.   You'll have to recreate your playlists, etc, but at least you will have the music.

  • Transferring music from iPhone to a new computer...

    I spilled coffee on my computer and had to get a new one, but I hadn't backed up my iTunes... Is there any way that I can take my music from my iPhone and put it into iTunes on my new computer???

    iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased from the iTunes Store only.
    Without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    The iPhone is not designed for or intended to be a backup device.

  • Transferring music from old external to new external

    Using itunes 8.02 with vista, and trying to move music from my current external drive to a new external drive. I had success last year moving music from my internal to my external, and using the same technique I didn't have the same results.
    I originally tried checking 'keep music organized' and 'copy files to itunes music folder' under edit -> preferences -> advanced tab. Then I changed itunes music folder from the old external to the new external, and expected the music to be copied from the old to the new. This did not happen.
    Then I tried copying the music from the old to the new, and change the itunes music folder from the old to the new. But, when i changed the music folder, all the music still referenced to the old drive.
    I'm unsure about how to do this, and i'm trying to make sure I don't loose all my setting, artwork, ratings, etc....
    Thanks!

    Ok, i have a similar question. I just got a new pc; my music etc was stored on an external HD, but now I can put it all on my pc. After a fresh install of itunes, I tried dragging and dropping the itunes music folder from my hard drive into itunes; after it was all done transferring, it still only transfered a third from my itunes folder from the hard drive to the itunes folder on the pc. any suggestions?

  • Transfering Music from old PC to new one

    Is there a way for me to use my I-Pod to transfer my I-Tunes playlist from my old PC to my new one? I am hesitant to sync it as it may delete everything off the IPod. Thanks in advance!

    I have a rather specific issue to resolve. Having very recently bought a new computer, I planned to transfer all of my itunes over using my ipod. Unfortunately, my 14 month old ipod (80GB video) failed as it was being charged - it blipped and died on me. I have tried different methods of charging and it does not work. So with an ipod just out of warranty I have now got over 1000 songs on an old computer without a CD burner. I have this new computer, and I have just bought a new ipod. It does not like connecting to my old computer. I have a separate external back up device (an external hard drive I think) which will work on both computers. Can you please advise how I can transfer all of my songs using this external drive? My email is [email protected] Many thanks for your help.

  • Transferring music from old Mac to new ipad

    How do I transfer already purchased iTunes items from an old MacBook to my new ipad air?  Seems like the technology of old Mac and new ipad air don't speak to each other.  I tried to download from iTunes but none of the music from the old system downloads. Can someone suggest how I can move them?

    Upgrade the computer to at least Mac OS X 10.6.8 and then sync the iPad Air normally.

  • Transferring music from old mac to new mac

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and am trying to transfer my music from me new computer to my old computer...what is the easiest way to do this?

    Do you have a time machine backup from the old Mac?  If so, you can do that and ALL your data that way.  Very, very easy....
    See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    and scroll on that link to this section:
    Restoring a Time Machine backup on a new Mac
    When you buy a new Mac, you can transfer all of your applications, files, settings, and other information from a Time Machine backup you've already made.
    You will be asked if you want to transfer files when you start up your new Mac for the first time. Or, you can use theMigration Assistant (located in Applications/Utilities).
    If you use a Time Capsule, see Restoring files from a Time Capsule backup.

  • Transferring Music from Portable Hardrive to New Computer

    Due to lack of hard drive space on my old pc I purchased a portable hard drive. I ended up importing and saving my library on the portable drive to avoid cluttering my old pc. Here I am with a new laptop and I wish to continue storing and importing music into my library located on the portable hard drive. I don't want to share the hard drive on my new pc for music and photo files. I wish to keep them on the portable drive. How can I get my new pc to recognize itunes library on my portable external hard drive? Thank you.

    navajochief,
    I also had this problem. Someone sent this link to me it worked for me. Hope it helps.

  • How can I transfer music from nano to a new computer.  Old computer is gone.

    How can I transfer music from nano to a new computer?  Old computer is gone.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How can I get music from old mac to new mac?

    How can I get music from old mac to new mac please?
    Can't seem to make Migration Assistant work. Doesn't ask about or transfer files.

    I just migrated into a new MBP from an old one.
    It did not bring the music over.  Apple's instructions are to use the Home Sharing feature of iTunes.
    Open iTunes on your old Mac.  Select Home Sharing under the Advanced menu.  Sign in.  Do the same on your new computer.  Then when the library appears under Home Sharing on the left-hand panel on your new computer's iTunes, you can select all and Add To Library.
    That's what Apple says, anyway.
