Will I lose my music from my Itunes library if I restore factory settings?
Howdy - I was using my Mac at work for my Ipod's Itunes updates and storing music. I wanted to move all my music to my new PC at home so I don't have to use my work computer anymore. I loaded all my music from work and added about 1,000 more songs to my Itunes library at home. When I went to sync my pod, I am now getting the message I have to restore my pod to the factory settings in order to use a the PC format. I checked the support questions online, and I guess I'm not that computer savvy because I still don't understand some of the terminology. If I choose to restore the factory settings to reformat my pod for PCs, does that mean I'll lose everything in my library, or will it just wipe out everything on the pod, and once I plug it in again, it will put all my music from the library back on? It will take forever to burn all my music to discs, and then reload them after restoring the factory settings!

Restoring the iPod won't erase anything from iTunes.

I need to transfer music from another itunes library. My last compter hard drive failed. I have several hours of songs and I don't want to lose these. Is there a way to transfer music from another libray to current? I have recovered the purchased music but would like to transfer other. I have a mini without a disc drive so it makes loading the same music difficult. Please help.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system? Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?
Sorry, not sure if I understand what you are asking.
Are you thinking of moving your iTunes / Media Folder from your Mac to the Time Capsule?
If you do this...when...not if...the Time Capsule drive has a problem....you lose everything because you have no backup for the iTunes library.
A much safer plan would be to add an external hard drive to your computer and move the iTunes library there.
Then, if you are using Time Machine for backups, it will back up both your Mac and the hard drive. Now you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.
In order to stream music from the iTunes library, iTunes must always be open on your computer.
Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?
Yes, if your TV has an HDMI input and you have an Apple TV. -
Can I transfer music from my iTunes library to Google Playstore?
I's like to transfer music from my iTunes library on the laptop across to a Motorola G mobile phone - possibly via Google Playstore. Is this possible?
I think AAC will get you a little better quality for
the same file size of an Mp3. If I recall, iTunes
saves the original file and makes a copy with the
converted version. But to be safe, just make a backup
copy of the original file
And I take it that it makes no difference what format the file is in, it will still upload to the iPod and be playable there. I guess the default is set at AAC in iTunes and I never knew where/how to change it.
Thanks so much for your help! -
How do I transfer music from my itunes library to my wife's on the same computer?
How do I transfer music from my itunes library to my wife's on the same computer? I am trying to put the music that is on my phone on her phone.
Has she transferred iTunes content to her iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer or from a different iTunes library on the same computer?
If not, you transfer music to her iPhone from your iTunes library in the same way the music was transferred to your iPhone. If she has any iTunes content on her iPhone that was transferred from a different iTunes library, all iTunes content on her iPhone will be erased first. -
Can I export music from my iTunes library to another application?
I've been trying to figure out how to export music from my iTunes library to either Movie Maker or Roxio My DVD Creator. If I browse to my iTunes library, it doesn't show any music within the artist folders. I take it the only way I could use the music is to burn a CD and then open it using "my computer" and copying it to a folder on my PC and then browse to it from the other applications?

How can I get my music from my Itunes library after I replaced my hard drive?
How can I get my music from my Itunes library (purchased and downloaded (CD)) after I replaced my hard drive? Same account name. My other computer see's old and new music. Can purchace new songs. They show up by themselves. Can connect IPOD and old songs show up. Seem's like they are defined as different accounts.
They will only be where you put them.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back. -

I want to copy music from my iTunes library to a usb device for playing in radio with a usb input?
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) Processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 I would like to copy music from my iTunes library to a usb device (Transcend 8GB) for playing in my Kenwood KDC - 258U. I am having trouble with the radio recognizing music on the Transcend usb. Suggestions?
Thank you for your reply. I finally figured out that I needed to use the disk utility and erase using the MS-DOS (FAT) option and making sure there were no other partitions. Then I simply used finder to tag music in my iTunes library and drag them to my USB drive. Most of my music is MP3 although my Kenwood will read several formats.

Thinking that I was deleting it from my iPod, I have inadvertently deleted a lot of music from my iTunes library. I clicked for saving to file rather than sending to trash. How can I get it back into my library?
See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash or simply import the media folder back into the library. Restoring a recent backup of the .itl database will restore the original date added values, ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. that would otherwise be missing from the reimported media.

TS1420 itunes won't transfer music from my itunes library to my ipod
when i try converting music from my itunes library to my ipod it doesnt. all of my sotfware is updated and i have the latest version of itunes. please help.
This problem happened to me before.
Fortunately, with some help from others, I could transfer my music from iTunes to my iPod. Here's how:
First make sure your iPod it connected to iTunes.
On the top right corner you will see a button labeled ipod.
Click on it, and go to summary.
Scroll to the bottom, and you will see an area labeled Options.
Check the box for "Manually manage music and videos"
On the bottom right hand corner, click "Apply".
Now you can transfer your music to your iPod with no problem!
Hope that helps! -

Is it possible to transfer music from my iTunes Library to someone elses iPhone 6?'
Possible yes. Something you would want to do? Not likely.
Music bought from the iTunes store is only licensed to the Apple ID that bought it. The other iPhone has no right to play it, and as such it would require your Apple ID and Password on said Phone to be able to play. Are you willing to do that?
It would also be illegal, and akin to piracy.
You will also overwrite any other music they may have in their iPhone and replace it with yours.

I just bought my 3 kids iPods. How can we share music from my iTunes library without crossing over with texts, apps, etc?
Create new IDs for each by:
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use that Id only for:
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the new one. Make sure that only that ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the new . Make sure that under You can be reached at only the new ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
Continue to the one one common ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores. That is what controls purchases. -
