  • My Itunes Library is on a laptop that is no longer working and on my Iphone 4.  How do I move the music library from my phone to my new laptop and Itunes?

    I need to import my Itunes library from my Iphone 4 to my new Mac laptop.  My old laptop is not working and now my Itunes Library only exists on my Iphone 4.  I want to get the Iphone 5, but would only get the songs that I purchased thru Itunes and not my entire library.

    If iTunes purchases then:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise you will have to get them from where you originally obtained them

    How do I transfer my whole music library from my ipod to my brand new macbook pro?

    You should be able to transfer iTunes purchases as described on the page that you posted from i.e. File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g CDs) then if you don't have them on a backup that you can copy them from, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page that might be able to copy them from the iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • HT4527 how to move my itunes library from my Ipod to a NEW PC

    My Laptop had to be reformatted and as a result I lost access to Itunes.  I was not able to save any of my backups nor my iTunes library.
    I am trying to sync my iPod and iPhone to my NEWLY formatted hard drive and iTunes wants to WIPE my devices.
    Is there a way to "PUSH" the  iTunes library from my iPod To my laptop?
    Thanks,
    Willie J. Sanders, Jr.

    I thought I just explained this.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You can transfer itunes purchases form your ipod to your computer:  Open itunes, connect ipod, click File Transfer Purchases
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
    You may be able to purchase a program to get the other music

  • 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.

  • Is there any way to transfer an entire library from an ipod to a new laptop (not just the purchases)?

    My laptop was stolen that had my itunes installed and was synced with my ipod classic. I now have a new laptop. Is there any way I can transfer ALL the music from my ipod to itunes on the new laptop, not just the purchases? I don't have access to all the CD's etc that I originally downloaded onto my ipod.

  • 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

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

    Hi FWFFP,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below will explain how to get music onto your new computer.  I'd personally recommend the option of copying the iTunes library from your current computer to an external drive, because it creates a backup for you as well:

  • In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section.  After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just creat

    In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section.  After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just created on the new disk.  It says the second document cannot be opened and to move one of these documents out of your Final Cut Events folder.  It also says to avoid this problem, copy events from within Final Cut Pro, but that is what I did in the first place.  What should I do to avoid the double opening conflict?

    What exactly are you doing and what version are you using with OS X 10.8?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. 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 purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    My PC hard drive was wiped out and I am rebuilding my Windows 7 system.  The only complete library I have of my music is located on my iPod classic.  Is there a way to import the library from my iPod into a  new iTunes library on my PC?  I was told if I connect my iPod to the PC, ITunes will try to sync with the iPod and wipe out the library on the iPod.
