TS2972 how do i transfer all the non-purchased music in my library to my itunes on my new computer?

This should help. You need to move (copy over) the entire iTunes folder.

  • How can I transfer all the apps purchased from one account to another?

    Good day,
    I'm just wonderin' can I transfer all the apps purchased from my old account to a newer one?

    No, apps (plus other content bought from Apple such as music and films) are tied to the account that bought / downloaded them and they can't be copied or transferred to a different account.

  • How can I transfer all the information (programs, files, etc..) from my ipad to my new ipad?

    Hello somebody can help me? I bought a new ipad and I need to transfer all the information, documents, etc.. from my old ipad to the new one how can I do that?

    You need to back up your current iPad either to your computer, or if you are on the cloud to the cloud.  Then when you go to set up your new iPad, you'll either restore it from the computer (iTunes backup) or if you back up to the cloud, wirelessly from the cloud.  The new device will give you the option to restore from a cloud backup if you are using the cloud.

  • TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Depends on why it's ineligible.  If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version.  (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".)  Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match.  Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
    If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

  • I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries?

    I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries? In iCloud's site all are there.

    If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on.  The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

  • How do i transfer all the stuff from my ipod to my new ipad

    How do I transfer all the stuff from my ipod to my new ipad

    Assuming that the iPod is an iPod Touch - Restore the new iPad from a backup of the iPod and follow that with a sync with iTunes.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPod name under devices and select transfer purchases. After that completes, right click on the iPad name again and select backup. Eject the iPod.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes if it is not already running. If prompted to set up as new or restore from a backup - select the backup of the iPod. If not prompted, right click on the iPad name on the left under devices and select - restore from backup. Select the iPod backup in the pop up window. Let the process complete and then sync with iTunes.

    there are a number of scenarios to do it.
    The general idea was covered here:

    Make sure you have a full backup of your iPhone before recyncing with the iMac as during this process all data will be wiped out from your iPhone.
    Going forward you may want to check icloud which makes life easier.

  • Lost all my non purchased music

    My old hard drive is no longer working so I have no back-up/ITunes.  In trying to get to my ipod_control folder I've lost all my non-purchased music.  Not sure how that happened.  The non-purchased music is not visible.  When looking at the IP Touch settings I see there there is only 58M out of 7G available which leads me to believe that the music is still on the IP Touch.  Where do I go from here?
    thanks in advance....

    Several things: What do you mean by "trying to get to my ipod_control folder"? Are you talking about accessing the file system of the iPhone itself? FWIW, this is a very bad idea and can end up hosing your phone permanently.
    There are several utilities out there that will allow you to (try) and extract the music from your phone. Google is your friend on this one. With the exception of purchased media, media sync is one way. Computer>iPhone. There is no sanctioned method of getting other media files off of the iPhone and onto a computer.
    As far as another back-up scheme goes, the iPhone is NOT a backup device. You can't back up after the fact. Keeping a backup of the data on your computer, including your iTunes library, is the sane thing to do and basic common sense is to back up your data BEFORE you lose it, not afterward.

    I bought a new computer and tried to authorize it.  It states that I already have 5 computers that are authorized.  I no longer have any of those 5 computers.  How do I deauthorize all of them, as it is not shown as an option, as my new computer since it is not authorized.
    Thanks

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • How do you get your tunes and voice recordings from your iPod Touch into iTunes on a new computer if you don't have Mobile Me?

    How do you get your tunes and voice recordings from your iPod Touch into iTunes on a new computer if you don't have Mobile Me?
    iTunes on tmy new computer shows none of my data and I fear if I sync my iPod with the computer all will be deleted on the iPod.
    I still have everything in iTunes on the old computer.

    Just move your iTunes library to you new computer.  You can transfer iTunes purchases to you new computer from your iPod by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848Make sure you also move the backup.  You an find where the the backup is located here:
    iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
    You can move other items by:
    Best iPod to PC
    After you move you stuff to the new computer, restore the iPod from backup.

  • How do you transfer all the music and vedio files from iPod touch to iTune?

    Hello, I am new here, and I have a very big problem.
    About a month ago, my stupid computer have died on me; so I have to take it to the Geek Square to let them look at my computer, it turned out, I have to replace a new hard drive. Now, my computer is back and I download the new iTune; however, I don't know how to transfer all the files on my iPod Touch to iTune, can someone help me?

    I do have some music back up, but I only have one video(because I couldn't get the others), and I also have some music that I bought directly from the ipod touch's iTune, not on the computer, so that is why I am asking the question.

  • The display on my MacBook Pro from 2007 finally gave out, how do I transfer all the data from the old one onto my new one?

    A week or so ago, the screen on the Macbook Pro I've had for 5 years went permanently black. The screen itself still works, but it's just all black. Went from flickering/flashing to black. I didn't have any kind of warranty on it or anything, and in addition to all of the other things about it that needed fixing, it seemed like it'd just be cheaper to get a new Macbook Pro.
    My question is: How do I get all the stuff from the old laptop to the new laptop without having to use the old laptop's display? Is there a cable I can use to connect the two, and I can just access the old one from the new one?

    FireWire between the two (get appropriate 800-800 or 400-800), Target Disk Mode on the old one, appears as an external disk on the new one. Drag everything over, or use Setup Assistant if first start of new one, or plain old Migration Assistant. You really don't need a display to see a prancing FireWire icon, do you?
