Uploading itune songs to new computer

I just bought a new computer and while updating my itunes it told me I had a number of songs that cannot be updated because they have already been allocated to 5 machines. These are old work machines or home machines that I no longer use. I do not want to lose all these songs. Is there a way to get these uploaded?

Upload purcashed songs on new computer without ipod

I lost my ipod...purchased a new computer and using my husband old erased ipod. I can login in to my account but my husband music selection appears. If I go to purshaed history in the IStore I see my purhased history. How do I deauthorize my husband from my new computer and upload my purchased music.

You shouldn't need to. You should just authorize your iTunes account on the new computer (unless you are using the same account) and then redownload your content. See this article for more details on redownloading your older purchased iTunes content.

Upload of songs to new computer

How do I get my ipod library into my new computer?

Searching the internet rocks.
Esentially you need something 3rd party to do it so you can figure out what the file names are on the computer(I3d tags will still be there and work in itunes if you brows the ipod control folder).
just use that search link and you should find some helpful programs.

Authorizing iTunes songs on new computer

I recently purchased a new iMac and then upgraded to iTunes 7. Now when I plug in my iPod it tells me it can't copy 92 tunes to the iPod because they are not authorized on this computer. The songs were all legally purchased and I deauthorized my old computer (and I never had 5 devices anyway).
For the life of me I can't figure out how to get the tunes copied onto the iPod. Help!

Thanks for the hint KoDor.
I got the same problem just upgrading to iTunes 7.0.2 from 6 and solved it in the way the article suggested. However, the process needed to be done a couple of times before all of the files were transferred.

How do I move iTunes and all songs to new computer without loosing ratings?

I recently purchased a new computer and have been trying to migrate everything to it. I downloaded Itunes to my new computer and moved all music on to the new computer. While I have successfully set up iTunes on the new computer (including setting the proper iTunes Music folder location under Edit/Preferences/Advanced/General), I cannot find a way to import ALL (Over 60 gig) of music into iTunes. The best I have been able to figure out is to add each individual folder from an artist to the library (this would be a HUGE amount of time!) and in so doing I would loose ALL the time I have spent rating songs (very important to me for My Top Rated). Is there a way to import all music on a specific drive into iTunes AND keep the preferences from the prior computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer

I've just downloaded itunes on a new computer, and I'm downloading music from the cloud, but it seems to stick on certain songs and won't download them at all, stopping at a certain point. How do I get round this?

Hi all,
I've just downloaded itunes onto a new computer, and I'm currently downloading previously owned music from the cloud. However, it keeps sticking on various songs - it will get part of the way through and just stop, this seems to happen to about 1 in 10 songs. How do I get round this?
Also, once I've finished dowloading from the cloud, how do I get my library to display only the songs I've downloaded, and not all the other ones that I don't want anymore?
Cheers, Alex

On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

I have another computer that a virus may have taken over and I cannot log into it anymore. I just downloaded Itunes on a new computer but most of my songs are not on there. Is there a way to still access or find those songs? Remotely or another way? Or do I need to take it to a tech to get my files off of my hard drive?

Edit > Preferences > Store check Music under Automatic Downloads.
Open the iTunes Store from left hand column, then select Purchasedfrom the column on the right, click the Not In My Library button and select the tunes you want to download again.
That said, you seem to be under a misapprehension as to how iTunes works, or at least how it has worked in the past. It has, until recently, been up to you take care of your purchases once they have been downloaded. You had a one-time download which you were reminded to back up. With the recent change to this policy you can at least download your store purchases again, but having a personal backup of your iTunes store purchases, stuff purchased elsewhere and files ripped from your CDs will still be preferable to gathering all the stuff together again in the event of a disaster.
For a backup strategy see this User Tip.

Bought new computer- how do i get all my itunes song off old computer and onto new one?

i recently purchased a new computer and installed ITUNES on it. Once I put in my APPLE ID all my purchased songs showed up (songs i purchased through ITUNES on my old computer). Here is the problem, my old computer has around 800 songs on it from cd's that I owned and downloaded those songs into ITUNES. Now i want those songs on my new ITUNES on my new computer but don't know how to get them there. I have tried the following so far:
- Tried syncing my ipod and ipad to the new computer but each time I do this the new computer ITUNES wants to wipe out the 800 songs and just put on the transfered purchases songs.
- Tried 'home sharing'. When I did home sharing with both computers on and ITUNES opened all the songs showed up on my new computer but as soon as I closed out ITUNES on the old computer the 800 songs went away on the new computer and it went right back to the songs I purchased.
Please someone tell me there is an easy way to take all these songs I have on ITUNES on the old computer and transfer them to my new computer and ITUNES without having to bust out all these old cd's and sit there and re-burn them all on the new computer.
I have in addition to this all ready authorized my new computer with ITUNES so that is good to go. Any help would be appreciated...

Are they not on your new computer after you restored your iTunes backup?
Didn't have a backup?
Unlike music you can download apps multiple times. Go to each app, download it (ignore the price) and after you click it will tell you that you've already purchased the app and ask if you want to download it again.
