What do i do to get my music on my new macbook pro???

I just got a new macbook pro but my iTunes library doesn't have any of my music i purchased,from the iTunes store, on my old computer that no longer works. What do I do to get it on my new macbook pro?? My daughter also got a new macbook pro for college and uses the same apple account for music and when she logged on to are apple account she got all the music right on there. I don't understand why it didn't work for me! Everyone in my family tryed to get the music but wasn't able to. Please help.

Hi lisa,
It doesn't look like you are on the correct screen to download your past purchases. Click on the iTunes Store. Once the Store is open, click on Purchased under the Quick Links section. You will then see a window with Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, and Books. Click on Music. Then click on All Songs. Then click on Not on this Computer. You should see something similar to this:
You will see a little cloud next to each song, and you can selectively click on the ones you want, or you can click on Download All at the bottom of the screen.
Post back with questions.
Cheers,
GB

    What Keys to press to get Windows 7 Task Manager on MacBook Pro ?

    Thanks for the help. I got the Task Manager thru the taskbar,  but I was and still am trying to it by key entry because that is what I am used to.  My MBP has a delete key, unlike other keystroke attempt that I have
    tried where a delete key isn't on a Mac.  I also am a retired enggggineeeer so there's bound to be confusion because I am left-handed too.
    Thanks again !!!!

  • Transfer photos and music to a new macbook pro using time machine

    Help!  I backed up my old macbook pro to an external drive using time machine.  I want to transfer all of the photos and music to my new macbook pro, but it says I don't have permission.  I can't get permission from the old mac because it won't turn on!  I brought it to the genius bar and they couldn't turn it on either.  They suggested I take it to Staples to get the files off.

    Julie,
    Probably because you used a different account name than you had on the old one. Create a new account with the same name you had when you created the backup and run Migration Assistant. Migration Assistant is in Applications / Utitlities and you create the user by clicking the Apple icon, then System Preferences, Users & Groups.

  • How to get my itunes on my new macBook pro

    Howw do I get my itunes on my new MacBook Pro?

    The application should be pre-installed.  If you mean transfer a library:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • Download Purchased Music - To a New MacBook Pro

    Hello,  I would like to download my previously downloaded & purchased music to a new MacBook Pro.  My old Old Windows PC crashed and nothing was recoverable. Is this possible?  If not I have lost all my music

    You will be able to download your previously purchased music. If you didn't subscribe to Match,
    anything else that you didn't back up will be lost.
    With iTunes 11, anything that's available (previous purchases or Match) will appear as cloud
    content in iTunes when you log in with your AppleID.
    If the music was synced to a device, you can use a third party utility to pull it back off.

  • Not getting shared calendar notifications on new MacBook Pro

    Once I got a new MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB flash storage) and transferred my data from my old MacBook, I stopped getting notifications of changes made to shared calendars owned by someone else. (Changes made by others to shared calendars that I own still generate notifications.)
    In iCloud preferences, Calendars is checked.
    Calendar is in my Notification Center, and its notifications are set as alerts.
    In Calendar preferences, "Turn off shared calendar messages in Notification Center" is not checked.
    In Info for individual shared calendars, "Ignore alerts" is not checked.
    I removed one of the shared calendars, then its owner resent an invitation to it, and I accepted. It didn't help; I still did not receive notifications.

    This is very strange, but yesterday, weeks after I set up my new machine and found this problem, I started getting shared calendar notifications again out of the blue. I have no explanation.

  • HT3209 Why am I getting this message on my new MacBook Pro 15" Retina notebook??

    Soooo... dropped nearly $3,000 the other day on my new MacBook Pro 15" with the amazing Retina display.  Tonight I finally picked a movie I wanted to purchase in HD, and got the message "This cannot be played in HD on this computer.  If you buy the HD version, you will have to transfer it to an HD-compatible device in order to watch it. Or, you can buy the SD version and watch it on this computer."
    Why on earth is this message showing up on my new Mac?  Is this machine not the very definition of HD notebook computing?  What's the deal Apple?
    I guess I'll watch premium cable tonight, I'm sure as **** not buying the SD version on this Mac.

  • What Is The Best Way To Transfer Music Files to New MacBook

    Just got my new MacBook. So far, love it. Now, I need to transfer all the music files from my iTuns on my old PC to the MacBook. I have all the files backed up on a network drive, that the MacBook can access no problem Should I try to manually copy all the files the Mac hard drive, or can I use the "consolidate" feature in iTunes?? I'm not sure what that does, actually. I want to avoid having to manually File/Add to Library over 1000 songs!
    Any help appreciated!

    Unless you've changed the automatic copy option in the Advanced settings of the iTunes preferences, just drag the files into the open iTunes window.
