Transferring my i-Tunes to a new computer....

This is the second time I am needing to do this. The first time was problem free. On my second attempt, my i-tunes library was successfully transferred, but I am not able to download the library on to my i-pod. A message indicated that I cant download to i-pod because I dont have permission to do so for my new computer comes up. Only things I did not acquire through i-tunes were transferred. Something to do with authorization I guess??? Any feedback is greatly appreciated
  Windows XP  

to deauthorize a computer, open iTunes on the computer you want to deauthorize, click on the "Store" menu (not iTunes Store on the left side, but the actual menu) and click "Deauthorize Computer". You might be prompted for your Apple ID and password, and then your computer will be deauthorized.
I would recommend deauthorizing your old computer if you haven't done so already if you aren't going to be using it anymore.

    Authorize the coumputer.  Go to store in the top of the screen and authorize it.

    If by "unpurchased" you are referring to music that you obtained from CDs or other sources, you will have to restore the music from your backup or some other device such as a smartphone or music player.

    I have just transferred my itunes account to a new computer and when i try to sync , I get a 'this ipod is synced with another itunes library ,do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library.will answering 'yes' erase what i currently have on my ipod.i'd like to get an ipad 3, if i cant sort out my account ,I'll get the galaxy note 10.1 !

    "I have just transferred my itunes account to a new computer and when i try to sync , I get a 'this ipod is synced with another itunes library ,do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library"
    Correct.
    "will answering 'yes' erase what i currently have on my ipod"
    Yes.
    If you copied everything from your old computer to your new one, as you should always do, then the content will be put right back when you sync.
    "i'd like to get an ipad 3, if i cant sort out my account ,I'll get the galaxy note 10.1 !"
    OK.  We are all itunes users like you. You threat of buying a different device means nothing here.

  • Downloaded I tune to my new Computer and my downloads came up but they will not play.  It says I must authorize them.  What is that?

    I downloaded I tunes to a new computer I bought.  I signed in and my music came up.  The songs will not play.  It says I have to authorize them  What is that?  How do I get them to play?

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • Need To Put I Tunes on a New Computer

    My Old computer fried in a storm and will not reboot. I need to move my sons I tunes to the new computer. HOW?

    Is the library on the blown computer? Below is my standard list of canned links, but in your case you might consider getting an external drive enclosure for the blown computer's drive and then hooking it up to your new computer with the old drive in it.

    On the new computer, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click click Store / Authorize This Computer.
    Then re download your iTunes purchases.

  • How can I upload my ipod shuffle tunes to my new computer? Old one crashed.

    How can I upload my ipod shuffle tunes to my new computer? Old one crashed.

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto your new computer ? If not, then depending on which country that you are in you might be able to re-download iTunes purchases from the store. Otherwise you will need to find a third-party program to copy the music off the iPod - this post from a couple of years mentions some that were around at the time, I don't know whether they still exist and work.

  • Transferring playlists from I-Pod to new computer

    Hello all,
    I'm pretty sure this question has been asked before : I recently purchased a new computer as my old one "died". I have all my music files in an external hard drive so they were preserved. When I downloaded I-tunes on my new computer, it did not transfer any of my playlists onto the new computer. They are still on my i-pod. How do I get them on my new computer from my i-pod? Thank you in advance for your help

    Everything will copy over just as it is on the iPod EXCEPT playlists. You will have to manually recreate these yourself.
    This column of [iPod Transfer Backup|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPod_Transfer] share many articles about iPod to computer, included transfer iPod songs, photos and videos,playlist from iPod to computer.
    Hopefully this works for all of you like it just worked for me!

  • Trying to put my old i tunes library on new computer - says cannot locate files

    Hi
    I have just installed i tunes onto my new computer, I followed the steps on line to transfer my old i tunes library onto my new computer (it was backed up on external hard drive).  Now all the songs are showing, but when I click on them it brings up an exclamation mark and says it cannot locate the file.
    Can someone please help me - I am a complete novice when it comes to technology.
    Many Thanks

    Hi
    I have managed to find a previous library on another external hard drive and managed to add folders to i tunes.  It hasn't put all of the songs I had on previously on there, but it is all of the ones that I no longer have the cds for now.  All of the other songs I have got cd's for so can just redo them. 
    I am assuming now that all the songs are back in i tunes this will be my most up to date i tunes library now.   Once I have got my additional songs on would you recommend backing up the new library to an external drive again. 
    Thanks for your help, I have never had this problem before, it seems that whenever there is a new version of i tunes more problems arise!

  • I have 3G I Phone and just got new pc. Have run sync in I tunes but none of the songs, etc are being transferred from the Phone to the new computer. How does one accomplish this?

    I have a 3G I Phone and Just got a new PC. Have run a sync in I tunes but none of he songs, etc. in the I phone have transferred over. How does one accomplish this taks?

    Only iTunes purchases may copy over via File > Transfer Purchases - otherwise syncing is one way, from the computer to the device. To get the rest of your music/films etc onto the new computer you can copy the backup from your old computer onto the new one and then load them into iTunes

  • Transferring I Tune Library to New Computer

    I want to transfer my itunes library from my old desktop to a new laptop. They both have the same version of itunes but run on different operating systems.(the desktop runs windows xp and the laptop runs vista) From what I understand this should be an easy process with everything I look at and hear from friends. From what I understand all that I should have to do is transfer my itunes media folder. But on my old computer the itunes files arent sorted in an itunes media folder but in folder named itunes music, itunes games, etc. How should I go about transfering itunes?

    My computer crashed and is not able to be saved. i have a new computer now and have downloaded Itunes on the new computer, is there any way to get the music from my Itunes on the old computer to the new computer or am i screwed? Would plugging the IPod into the new computer with new itunes transfer it?

  • Transferring music from ipod classic to new computer

    Hi, can anyone help?
    My last computer became corrupted and unusable and I am left only with my ipod of music, which I would like to transfer to a new computer, however, it will not synch with the new one as it is says my ipod is already synched with another computer (my old one!). I have contacted apple and they have sent me information, but you need to make adjustments on the old computer (which no longer exists)to transfer the files. Is there a way of transferring the music from the ipod to my new computer, without using my old computer?
    Thanks...

    OK, I had to restore my laptop to factory-settings, and so lost all my music in iTunes. Still have my music on my iPod, but obviously can't syncronise it as I'd lose all the music on there.
    I have tried a couple of software packages (ipod2computer & Tune Tools), but neither of them seem to work (one keeps asking me to put in my credit card details again and the other just hangs or saying it hs updating data, but after a few hours nothing happens). Really looking for help or recommendations in transfering music files from my ipod or software that can enable this.
    Many thaanks for any assistance
