  • How do i get my library from my phone to my new computer? I no longer have access to the old computer. When I try to sync it says it will erase everythiong from my phone.

    How do I get my library from my phone to my new computer? I no longer have access to the old computer and when I try to sync my music, it says it will erase everything on my phone. My itunes library is not showing up when I sign into the new computer. Its not even showing any downloads.

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone:  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • TRANSFER MY MUSIC LIBRARY FROM MY IPOD TO MY NEW COMPUTER

    MY COMPUTER WITH MY ITUNES LIBRARY CRASHED. I HAVE ABOUT 400 SONGS ON MY IPOD AND I WANT TO TRANSFER THE MUSIC FROM MY IPOD ONTO MY NEW COMPUTER. I CANNOT ACCESS THE LIBRARY ON THE OLD COMPUTER. PLEASE HELP

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.

  • HT4527 How can I transfer my iTunes library from my iPad to my new computer?

    My hard drive crashed without recent backup and I would like to transfer my iTunes library from my iPad to the new hard drive. Some tunes transferred and some didn't. Thanks.

    Non-iTunes purchases cannot be transferred from an iDevice to computer via iTunes.
    The simplest solution is to simply move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.  Why anyone would choose to make life more difficult by screwing around with transferring purchases from an iDevice and using 3rd party software to extract non-iTunes purchases is beyond me. 
    IF for some reason there is no backup of the old computer and/or the old computer is no longer accessible, then try google for solutions.
    Do yourself a favor going forward, backup your media and other important data.

    If you still have access to the old computer, see the following document:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    If you need to recover the library from the iPad, there's some third party applications available for recovering content off a device. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

    how can i sync all my music and playlists from my iphone to my new computer

    Yes.  You can sync everything that is currently on your iPod Touch to your newer one. Just plug it in and sync it like you did with the old one.
    If you want to retain your App data, see this article for information on backing up your current iPod Touch and restoring the backup onto a new one.

    If you purchase the iPad, keep in mind that some Apps may not be compatible with it.

  • My old computer died, is there a way to transfer my music/video/photo library from my iPod to my new computer?

    Not certain which kind of iPod it is, it doesn't say it is any kind specifically. It came in a black box that says iPod. I have had it for at least 7 years.  Before I erase everything and start over, is it possible to get the files off the iPod without the old computer in the equation? Thanks ahead of time for your assistance.

    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Transferring Library from Old iPOD mini to new computer...

    My computer was fried about a month ago. My company's IT department replaced it, but I lost my library of iTUNES entirely from the hard disk. The whole library is of course on my old iPOD mini. I want to transfer the library from the old iPOD mini to my new computer and then, in turn, to my new NANO - which I am very excited about. I have installed the nano and the iTUNEs on my new computer. I am fearful that if I plug my old iPOD mini into the new computer, with the blank library, that it will erase the iPOD mini library. HELP!

    DO NOT attach & sync your full iPod to an empty iTunes!!!
    These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

    PodUtil Software
    Senuti (Mac OS X v10.3 or higher Recovery Utility)
    XPlay (Windows software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    Extremely Simple Method: (just to recover the song files)
    1 - Open iTunes
    2 - Edit=>Preferences=>’Advanced/General’ tab
    2a --- Select ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library’: checked
    2b --- Select ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organized’: checked
    2c --- Click OK to store changes
    3 - Attach your iPod to the PC and hold down the ‘Shift+Ctrl’ keys until the iPod is fully recognized (this will defeat the auto-sync process)
    4 - If you get a dialog box to link the Library, decline this option
    5 – Within iTunes: File=>Add Folder
    6 - Browse to and open ‘My Computer’ (click on the ‘+’) and select the iPod
    7 - Click OK
    8 - The music files should start to transfer back into iTunes
    8a –- this will take some time depending on your PC and the amount of songs on the iPod
    No Playlists, or Ratings, Last Played, & Play Count attributes will be transferred from the iPod to iTunes using this method
    After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
    You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
    -- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
    -- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
    -- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
    Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
    If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

  • I just got a MacBook and I have had an iPhone for a few years. I want to sync all my music, videos, etc from my iPhone to my new Mac which has nothing on it, but I don't know how.

    Hi! So I recently bought a new MacBook, but I've had an iPhone for years. I want to sync all of my music from my iPhone to my Mac's iTunes. Whenever I open iTunes and connect my phone though, it want to sync my iTunes library, instead of the other way around. This would erase all my music from my phone. Anyone know how to sync the other way? From iPhone to Mac?

    You cannot synch the other way, with the exception of songs purchased on iTunes.
    What you need to do is move the iTunes library from the computer to which you've been synching your phone and put it on your new MacBook. 

  • How do I transfer my music library from my IPOD to my new computer.  My old computer is no longer working.

    I'm trying to transfer my library to a new computer because my old computer no longer works.  I've gone through all the steps apple recommended but the ITUNES file is not recognized on my IPOD on the new computer. 

    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side to select which of your music to sync to the iPad's Music app

  • My old computer crashed, i have a new computer, is there anyway to transfer the itunes library from my iphone to my new computer?

    Help! My old computer crashed, and I have a bunch of music that I don't have on cd any longer, is there anyway to move the library I have on my iPhone now to my new computer I just bought?

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music and contents, you may have to use a third party software to copy over. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • How to transfer my iTunes library from a hard disc to new computer?

    Could anybody help me with this issue? I've tried everything I could without any succes...
    My computer where I had my iTunes library (complete with many info and ratings) crashed and I lost all my archives. Luckly I had a copy of everything in an external hard disc. My iPod works fine with all the songs from that library. I bought a new computer, but now I cannot transfer the data of the library from the hard disc to the new computer.
    I'd really appreciate if somebody could help me...
    Many thanks, Rui

    Great! Very simple actually (once you know). The library is now corrected listed on iTunes, with my original playlists and the ratings.
    But now how do I bring the music files? I've tried to import them from the hard disk, but iTunes didn't synchronize with the ones listed on the library, so there are duplicates of all songs and the ones I can play are not the ones on my playlists and with the ratings.
    Do you have another brilliant solution?
    Thanks in advance

  • Just bought a new computer, how do I transfer my itunes account to and library from my ipod to my new computer?

    Just bought a new computer. How do I transfer my itunes to new machine. Only my apps and some music will transfer but cds I put on will not transfer.

    Hi,
    If you are using the iTunes command File>Transfer Purchases from iPod, only purchased music is transferred to iTunes from your iPod. 
    Hope this helps!
