Transferring purchases from one old computer to new computer

I just got a new computer and downloaded i tunes. it would not transfer any of my purchsed songs from the t tunes store. can someone assist me with this
tx

it would not transfer any of my purchsed songs from the t tunes store.
That's normal, as Apple needs to pay a royalty for each song download from the iTunes Store. Move the library from your old computer if you have access to it, which can be done by backing it up to CDs or DVDs and then restoring it, or by consolidating the library from the Library section of the File menu in iTunes and then copying the iTunes Library folder over as you would any other.

  • Transfering music from an old ipod to new computer

    I have the guide that was provided on the site on how to transfer music from an older iPod that contains the high capacity drive. My only problem is that I dont have the old computer that is synced to this ipod.
    basically I found this old ipod of mine from 4 years ago and it has a bunch of my old music on it. My old computer crashed and will no longer turn on so we got rid of it and bought a new one. My wife and I since then have both bought the new iphones and have created a whole new itunes libary. I figured all of these old songs were lost until last night when i found this ipod with all the music still on it. I want to put it on my new computer but when I plug it in and open itunes it say's it will erase my old songs and replace with my new ones.
    Can I transfer this music any way onto my new computer?

    Either buy a 3rd-party ipod manager program, start your research here on page 3

    Or go back to page 1 of the iLounge article and do it the hard way.

  • I tried to transfer purchases from my iPod to a new computer, but for some of the songs it asks for a different Apple ID and password than mine. Ideas?

    I tried to transfer purchases from my iPod to a new computer, but for some of the songs it asks for a different Apple ID and password than mine. Ideas?

    You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
    Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
    An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
    If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.

  • I need to install a volume license for Adobe Acrobat Pro from an old to a new computer

    I need to install a volume license for Adobe Acrobat Pro from an old to a new computer
    I have the correct License Key which I checked on Adobe License site but when I enter it
    is says it's incorrect

    Problem solved,
    I found the original Adobe installation files on our system that we used to first intall Acrobat Pro.
    Using these files with the correct volume license key we were able to install the programme on our new Computers.
    I was also informed by Adobe Help that I could also download these file from the Adobe License website after logging in.

    Click on Licenses / Download and then Software
    Hope this might help anyone else with the same problem

  • How do I purchase/download/transfer old songs to new computer and then purchase new songs and view/edit items from library?

    I have a nano ipod, I no longer have the email I used to purchase and download all songs I want to purchase new songs from a new laptop with a gmail address, how can I do this? I am not sure what to do when it asks me if I want transfer and erase? I do not want to lose any itunes library of songs already purchased on old computer and old email address.
    Thanks Gina

    You can transfer the older purchases from your Nano to your new PC by choosing File -> Transfer purchases with the nano plugged in and appearing in iTunes.   You'll need to authorize your account with the older Apple ID and credentials.

  • Transfering songs from Shuffle 3rd gen to new computer, old one crashed

    I am not very tech savy.
    I am trying to transfer my songs from my IPOD shuttle 3rd gen to my new computer.
    The old computer crashed and is gone. New one is OS Windows 7. Old one was XP Professional (not sure if it matters). I keep charging the IPOD , but cannot add to the songs. How do I do it ? I tried downdloading programs, but just get confused.
    Please help.

    Hello sparkles49,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    So you want to copy all the music currently on your 3rd generation Shuffle to your new Windows 7 machine correct? If so, try the software and instructions described in this article. Pretty straightforward.

  • HT1727 How can i get my old downloaded songs back that were purchased from my account to a new computer?

    I deauthorized all my old computers to make it so my sister and I could get ITunes on our new computers, I authorized my computer now and i will authorize hers tomorrow but its not showing my past purchages on itunes in my library. How do I get my old songs back?

    Have you copied them from your old computer via one of the methods described on the page that you posted from ? Your music will only show on your new computer's iTunes library if you put it onto it, so you will either need to copy it from your old computer, from your backup of your library and add it via File > Add To Library, or (depending upon whether you are in a country where you can re-download music and if the music is still in the store) you might be able to re-download your purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your new computer.

  • Transferring iphoto from very old macbook to new macbook pro

    I am desperate to find someone who can help me out with this!
    I have an old macbook (from about 2007) and I have now purchased a new macbook pro. I'm trying to transfer my iphoto library from the old computer (which is a large file!! about 60GB) to the new one.
    Having looked around on apple support and having been into an apple shop - it appeared quite easily - all I needed to do was to connect my two laptops with a cable (which I have purchased and can manage this far) and then simply open up the old macbook hard drive and copy the iphoto library from the old computer into the new computers "pictures"....
    However, I've tried this and it starts to do it at first saying that it will take several hours which I have no problem with, however after a few minutes it just says that it can't go ahead with the copy because some of the files from the old Iphoto aren't viable or something like that - can't remember the exact wording...
    Is there any other way of getting iphoto on to my new computer? Or any ideas?
    THanks!!!

    It means that there is content in the old library that is either corrupted (most likely) or has illegal characters in the filenames. See I-O error -36 « fuzzybrain|daisychain|blogdrain.
    Given your info that the library is quite old (not to mention extremely large) this may be the result of past usage. Possible things you might try:
    Apple iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.0 to update the library.
    You should do this Google search - "repair iphoto library" to find a large number of links to software that may be able to rebuild the old library and/or fix problems.
    Otherwise, create a new folder on your new computer's Desktop. Open your old iPhoto Library on your old computer (I assume that works) then start manually dragging small selections of photos from the library over to the new folder. Eventually you will end up with a long list of individual photos to import into the new iPhoto.
    Wish I have more to offer.

  • Can I move Photoshop from my old to my new computer?

    I purchased a new computer. Can I uninstall Photoshop from my old and install it on my new computer?

    you are licensed for two concurrent installations/activations so you do not have to uninstall it.
    but, if you no longer have use for the previous install then, before you uninstall it, you should deactivate (help>deactivate) it.

  • Transferring data from one HDD to a new HDD using disk utility?

    I do not have a time machine backup of my HDD.  I was wondering if it is posssible to use disk utility to restore data from the old HDD to the new HDD.  Will I need the system disks to partition the new HDD first or is this even possible.  If it is possible, will everything transfer using the Restore in disk utility?

    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
      1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
          the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
          is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the
          Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
          the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
          (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
          GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
          wait until the process has completed.
      4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
          drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
          window.
      5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
          Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
          return to the Erase window.
      6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
          hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
      1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
      5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Destination entry field.
      6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Source entry field.
      7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

  • Transfering music from my ipod to my new computer

    I have a new computer. I gave my old one to my grandson. I deleted everything from the old computer including my itunes. I tried to transfer the music from my ipod onto itunes in my new computer, but it won't transfer unless the music is from the itunes store. Most of my music is from cd's. If I try to sync it will delete everything from my ipod. It shouldn't be this difficult. How do I transfer my music into itunes?

    I have to admit I've never actually tried it, but I think it can be done. If you go into Preferences and click the devices tab, there's an option to prevent devices from syncing automatically. If you check that before connecting your ipod, it won't delete the files. Then when you connect your ipod, select the option to enable the disk as a hard drive. After that, you should probably be able to access the ipod through my computer and copy the files over to your computer.

  • I still have my iPod Nano 3rd generation, but my old computer crashed and I did not have itunes backed up, so I lost my library. Is there a way to get the songs from my old ipod to new computer library and then on to the new ipod?

    Save all the photos from your Droid into a folder on your computer.
    Connect your device to your computer. On iTunes left Pane, select iPhone under 'Devices'; then on the right Pane, select PHOTO tab.  Make sure Sync Photo box is checked, and "from" box selected the folder that has Droid's photos.  Then click the SYNC or APPLY button on the lower right window.
