Transferring music onto iMac?

I have a new imac. However all my music is stored in itunes on our old macbook pro. The old macbook is not "linked" to my itunes account as far as I can tell, becuase itunes account only supports three devices, which I have used up with my iphone, imac and ipad. I really would like to get the itunes music onto the new imac. any help greatly appreciated.

Hello dnbchick,
We've an article that provides available options and steps for transferring your iTunes Library to your new computer.

Transferring music onto iphone 4s

Ever since I installed iOS 7 onto my iPhone 4s, I have been unable to transfer any new music onto my phone. Now, the Sync process stalls on Step 3 of 3 ("Waiting for changes to be applied") and the mp3 tracks remain grayed out under the "On This iPhone" tab. They won't finish transferring so that I can actually listen to them on my iPhone. Any ideas as to what I should do? Please help! Thanks!

You are joking right?
No, you are not going to be charged.
Have you tried reading the manual included in bookmarks in safari?

Why is transferring music onto iphone really slow?

for a couple of updates now the moving of music onto ipods/iphones has been really slow, sometimes it adds to the device but remains blacked out on iTunes or sometimes it says complete but hasn't added to the device ?!
what happened to the simple drag and drop? iTunes got so fancy it no longer does the job it was meant to!!

It depends on where you download them from; I have plenty of jazz in Podcast.

Problem transfering music onto 6280

Hi,
I am looking for any help with this issue, I am about to throw my phone in the bin!!
I am transfering music via my pc, when i get about 5 songs into ANY cd, the programme (nokia pc suite, latest version) says it has encountered an error and must shut down, this is not isolated it is any cd I try!
I am using a 1 gig memory card and therefore know I have plenty of space,I have tried different conversions and different rates of conversion!
I am at the end of the line with this flippin' phone......any advice would be gratefully recieved.

Just what do you mean by "First I uploaded the music from a flash drive into his cloud"? What did you do?
To sync see:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Note that you can only sync with one iTunes library/computer.

Transfering Music onto Zen from I-tu

Hello! I just got the Creative Zen Micro Photo. In the past I used itunes to rip my cds onto my comptuer. Just a little while ago I downloaded Yahoo Music Engine and can now listen to all the music that was on itunes through Yahoo Music Engine. I am trying to import all of my music from Yahoo Music Engine and I have been able to transfer the music that I ripped directly on the Yahoo player, but not the music that I origionally ripped into i-tunes. In Yahoo Music Engine it shows up as being on my zen, but then once I disconnect the zen from the computer the songs do not show up on the zen and can't listen to them. Does anyone know how I can get my music onto my zen without having to rip all my cds onto windows media player or Yahoo Music Engine? Thanks so much! Any advice appreciated!

Transferring music onto my 5800

I copied all my music from itunes over to the nokia library on my computer. not sure whether i'm doing something worng but when i dragged and dropped music onto my phone, only a few songs appeared in the music library on the phone. The rest of them can be found on the phone by going through applications then opening file manager and looking t the memory card. any ideas how i transfer these so i can just access them through the music player??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

i'm hoping of course that you copied the songs to the memory card on your 5800. did you also select the option Refresh Music Library within the Music Player?
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

Bought a new macbook pro, synced phone with the new computer and now cant get transferred music onto my phone

I recently bought a new macbook pro to replace my 2007 macbook. I transferred my music from the old macbook to the new macbook pro. Today i updated my iphone4 to ios5 (on the new macbook pro), and in doing so, deleted my library off of my phone. The problem is, when I try to put the music i previously transferred onto the new computer, to my iphone, it wont let me transfer anything. Any ideas why this might be happening?

The standard policy is 14 days return no questions asked.
The Original Poster got someone on the phone who knew how to "play" the system to get around that and squirt out a gift card "for customer satisfaction". The person you talked to was less familiar with how to play the system, so simply restated the standard company policy.
If you really did buy it 14 days ago today, take it all back to the store and politely insist that you get the gift card you feel are entitled to. Exactly how they process that transaction, and whether you leave with the same computer you brought in, is their problem.

Sudden stop in transfering music onto my 3250

Well i've been transferring my CDs onto my 3250 using the PC suite and USB connector. I named all the tracks saved them to my hard drive, then transferred them to the phone from the Music Studio list. This worked for a few hours but now when i press transfer it seems to be doing it but the track won't appear in the mobile phone play list so is not transferring at all. I definately still have loads of room lft on my 1GB memory card. Very annoying as it was working so well! Anyone any ideas?

Hi
To use Windows Media PLayer 10 with your 3250, first connect the cable to both your phone and in your PC (included in sales package). Next, in the phone, you will see three options: Media Player, PC Suite and Data Transfer. Choose Media Player.
The PC will then recognize the phone as an MTP device (Windows Media Player's name for a compatible device). It will ask for drivers in the Windows Update Wizard. This time, insert the included CD in the CD-ROM drive of your PC. In the wizard options, choose "install software automatically". In this way the wizard will search the CD-ROM first and install the proper drivers. After that it will say the hardware is installed and ready to use.
To sync your phone, go to WMP10 Sync Tab. It will ask if you want to have automatic or manual syncing. If automatic, you will choose playlists to sync automatically every time you connect the phone. Or if in manual mode, follow these steps:
You'll see your phone in the right-hand window of the player named "Nokia Handset" (maybe different) which is your 3250. Then on the left hand side, choose the tracks you want to transfer. Go to device options (the first button at the top of the right hand window) then enable "create folder hierarchy". This will fix the tracks into folders. After choosing, press "Start Sync" and the tracks will be automatically transfered in your phone.
Pretty long, but it is great for transferring! If you have questions, please do reply...
cheers.
The world might be a better place if you were I.

Transferring music onto new iPhone

How can I transfer music from my iPhone 3GS onto my new iPhone 5S that's arriving soon? Do I simply do a backup in iTunes and restore the backup onto the new phone? Does it matter that's it'll be restoring the backup from a much older version of the OS?
Thanks in advance.

The backup does not contain any itunes content.
All of your music should be stored on your computer. Is it not? If not, then put it there. From your computer, you can sync it to any idevice you like.

Have old iPhone 2011 need to transfer music onto imac

i have an old i phone 3g about 4 years old i use it as a i pod how can i get music transfered to i tunes on my i mac

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Transfering music from imac 10.4.11 to ibook 10.3

Hi,
I've just inherited an old ibook G3 500mhz twin usb which I'm bringing back to life with a big new hard drive (hopefully!). I wondered if it's possible to put all my music on it (there will be space on HD) so I can use it as a jukebox in other rooms of my house? I currently have all my music on my recent imac running 10.4.11, the ibook will be running 10.3.
I wondered if I will be able to just transfer some folders from the itunes folder, if so which ones?
Thanks for any help.

I would think you would have to be careful about this and not just be dragging folders around, willy-nilly.
Will the two Macs be running the same version of iTunes?
There is a similar question here:

If that doesn't precisely answer your question, it does get you to the iTunes for Mac forum where you can ask more specifics if you need to do so.
Good luck.

Transferring data onto iMac from external hardrive

I have all my data from my old Dell computer (which is not working anymore) on an external hardrive, how do I get the data onto my iMac?

If your drive has USB, you can attach it to your iMac and drag and drop the documents into the appropriate folders in your User Account.
If you are wanting to migrate contacts, calendars, bookmarks, etc...that will be more difficult.
Have a look at Apple's support pages, here

We want to transfer the music library on our Mac to a second ipad without transfering any other data. we share an itunes account and I just can't figure out how to get the music onto the new pad

Hello friends
We are trying to move our music library stored on the Mac to a second ipad. We have already set up the second ipad and are only interested in getting select music onto the second ipad. When we plug the ipad into the imac and connect to iturnes it wants to set up or restore the second ipad. We're afraid if we do this it will remove all current information on the second ipad. Thanks
