Same thing you do with all your other data.
Copy it from old computer to new computer.

    I had an HP laptop with Itunes on it and kept my library on an external hard drive. I had a 160gb classic Ipod.
    My computer died and i am buying a new one (mac is out of budget)
    When I get my new computer, obviously I will download Itunes. My Ipod still has all the music on it and the external hard drive is ok.
    I don't want to "erase" or lose any information when I sync with a new itunes that is "empty"
    What are the steps? After I download Itunes and set the folder location to my external harddrive what is next? Will Itunes recognize my IPOD? Will it load the music/list from my ipd or external into itunes?
    Thanks in advance

    That will take ages, buy an external drive (or a large enough flash drive) and copy it there, do it soon.

  • Can you still access Adobe PDF SAVED FILES WHEN YOU GET A NEW COMPUTER

    Can you still access Adobe PDF SAVED FILES WHEN YOU GET A NEW COMPUTER ? Do you loose the files you have saved on you old computer when you get another computer?

    I may not be clear on what you are asking here but I'll try an answer anyway since that's the type of guy I am.
    If you have PDF files on your old computer, you will need to transfer them to your new computer. You can use a flash drive or CD if needed.
    But again, I think I'm not getting what you are really wanting to know. If I'm not, can you give us some more details?

  • What to do with iTunes when you get another iPod?

    My daughter has an iPod mini that is completely filled up. For her birthday, she want to get a new 30G iPod.
    The thing I am wondering about it whether or not she will be able to use her current iTunes library with the new iPod. I would not want to see her start from scratch, as that would just take up more room on her hard drive.
    Can you use iTunes with more than one iPod?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Actually an iPod can be used on multiple computers and multiple iPods can be used on a single computer so you'll be fine when you get your new one. You may not want to do anything too complicated but there's a lot more about it here: "How to use multiple iPods with one computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432

  • When you get a new computer how do I put on my iTunes library - I do have it all backed up to the cloud.  I am not a technical person so this is probably easy for someone but not me!  Any help would be much appreciated

    Can anyone explain what I need to do.  I am buying a new computer, need to de-authorise my old computer and then put the library on a new windows computer.  I have my library backed up to the cloud for which I pay extra.  I am not at all technical so if anyone could give me idiot instructions I would much appreciate it.  Finding the instructions from apple assume I know basic,s and that confuses me!

  • How can I get round problem with itunes. I get message saying computer isnt authorised to play some tracks Ive downloaded, tells me to authorise which I do, then a message appears saying the computer is already authorised but I still cant access the track

    how can I get round the problem I have with itunes. I have bought and downloaded various tracks to my library. When I try to sync my iphone from my PC I get a message on screen saying that it is not authorised to play them and tells me to authorise the computer by clicking store, entering apple id and password then clicking authorise this computer. I do that then get a message saying that my computer is already authorised yet when I try syncing the track again the same thihng happens. Im getting nowhere!

    If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • What happens when I get a new computer?

    Got a new computer.  Apple software shows up as still being loaded on computer but I cannot sync the Ipod to the computer.  Tried deleting the software and starting over but I can't remember how I originally set it up since its been over two years now.  Was hoping I would just plug the Ipod into the computer and it would show up with step by step to do...but nothing.  Help?  Anyone know how to start over?  Everything is still on my Ipod.  Just need to get it synced to computer.

  • How can you keep your songs when you get a new computer?

    is it possible to bring music from your old computer to your new one? because i just bought a new mac and i want to get rid of the old one, but i have all my music on there and it would take forever to get it all on by CD and by buying on iTunes.

    If not, then how about an external hard drive? They are very cheap these days and well worth it for backing up your iTunes and your Mac. You can buy or put together models that are, for example, in the 160-250GB range for under $100 easily.

  • When you get a new computer and redownload itunes, how do you redownload your music from your account onto your ipod?

    how do you re download music?

    The ipod is not a backup device.
    You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • HT4759 If my computer is about to die. Does ICloud store all my music. when I get a new computer how do I access it?

    I have a pc and wanted to know if I cloud backs up my music in case of computer failure?

    1. It depends on what country you're in and whether or not the content is still available in the iTunes Store. The iCloud copy shouldn't be considered a substitute for a backup. If it didn't originally come from the iTunes Store, only if you've signed up for iTunes Match.
    2. Click here and follow the instructions.

  • Why is it that when i get a new computer i can only re-download previous songs not videos? Eg. Top Gear

    Please help me!

    Apple has various license arrangements with its media vendors. If you can't redownload a specific song or video, it could be because Apple isn't allowed to let you download it more than once; or because Apple no longer carries that specific item in its store.
    This is why it remains important to back up all your media downloads, even with the advent of redownloading from he iTunes Store and the coming features in iCloud and iTunes in the Cloud.

  • HT5577 When I bought a new computer with Windows8.1, iTunes wouldn't accept my old ID and password, so I set up a new ID and password.  Now I can't locate or sync my old library of music onto my iPOD.  Any ideas?

    when I bought a new computer with Windows8.1, iTunes wouldn't accept my old ID and password.  After entering a new ID and password I got in, but now I can't sync the music that was in my original library.  When I try to sync a message says that music will be removed from "other" libraries, so I know they're out there somewhere.  Just can't get to them.  Any ideas?

    - Is the computer authorized for the iTunes account(s) used on the iPod?
    - Are you syncing or manually managing music?
    - In iTunes if you go to Preferences and then go to the Devices tab, what date is show for the iPod backup? Is if before you switched computers?
    - Your iPod sees the new computer as a new library/computer and you can only sync to one library.  You need to restore you iPod from a backup.  If that bacup is hosw in Preferences, restore from that backup. 
    - If the backup is after you switched computers, you have two options:
    --- Try to make a backup by right clicking on the iPd under Devices in iTunes and selecting backup.
    --- If you can't make a backu, can you get one from the backup of your old computer.  It is located here and yu may have to have show hidden files turned on.

  • HT1386 I have double and triples of photo's on my iPad. Not all my pics but most of them. I was told that I screwed up in synching with iTunes when I initally set up. How in the **** do I get rid of all the dups? I cannot delete them from my iPad. HELP ME

    I have double and triples of photo's on my iPad. Not all my pics but most of them. I was told that I screwed up in synching with iTunes when I initally set up. How in the **** do I get rid of all the dups? I cannot delete them from my iPad. HELP ME!

    If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app.  Look there and see if they are still there.
    If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows.  If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
    If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
    To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again.  Make sure you transfer purchases first.   Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced.
