Download my iTunes library to a new Mac

Hello

I bought a new MacBook and want to download my entire iTunes library so that I can use it offline (in flight, etc.). Is it possible to do this without having to individually click each album, one by one?

Thank you

Is it possible to do this without having to individually click each album, one by one?

So, it looks like you have a music to iCloud library, a subscription to Match iTunes or Apple music (or both).  Is this correct?

If so, you can download a large selection of songs at the same time (instead of one by one).  Show your library iTunes music with the view of songs , so that you see a simple list with columns.  If you do not see the column download iCloud , make visible (right click on the header row in the list of songs to show/hide columns).  The column download iCloud is narrow, with a cloud symbol in its title.  The songs that are not currently stored on the local storage of your Mac have a symbol of the cloud with the arrow pointing down , which you can click to download this song.

BUT, instead of clicking on the cloud next to each song, sort the list of songs by the iCloud download column (click on the header of the column download iCloud ).  All the songs with the symbol of the cloud are displayed together.  To select all at once, click the first song with cloud(), press on and hold the SHIFT key and click the last song with cloud.  Clicked both songs and all the songs in the meantime are selected at the same time.  Right-click on the selection and download.

  • How to merge an old iTunes library on a new iTunes download

    I just got a new PC and downloaded iTunes.  I copied the files and my folders of music as well as the old library on the new iTunes folder files, but they do not appear in iTunes. The only options to import the music that I can find (wants to import my music files instead of simply select a whole folder (with subfolders).  Any help appreciated.

    And please tell me why this is so difficult?  I've done several times over the years and it's a royal pain in the end every time.  I have to do something wrong because no piece of software this mature could be this difficult to use.  In the hope it is an 'easy way' that I just keep missing.

    Thanks in advance.

    Launch iTunes with the SHIFT key, and then choose the old library.

  • IPod Classic (and iTunes library) from Windows to Mac

    Hey ppl, can someone help me with this one?
    My iPod Classic was initially connected to a PC, because I didn't have a Mac at the time. But I an and for a long time, and now I'm about to get a second.
    I was put in place with the PC mostly because my iTunes library has nearly 500 stored cd and I use my iMac only for work, I didn't want to fill his 500 GB drive with iTunes library. But now that I'm about to take my work to a new Mac, I thought that it was time to move my iTunes library to Mac, and I did it with the help of an external hard drive.

    Now, everything is ok with iTunes on Mac all the CDs and the works of art and library moved nicely.

    But when I connected the iPod it syncs ok, but does not receive a new cd that I just uploaded on the Mac.

    I have noticed that an already existing CD which I modified the work on the Mac, sync ok for the iPod, but not the new CD. The CD is an original, not a copy.
    I think it has to do with the iPod having been registered to another computer. I allow them the Mac, but still the CD is not transferred to the iPod.
    I want to get rid of my PC, but I need the iPod to work with the Mac.
    Can someone tell me what I'm missing, or doing wrong?
    Thank you

    I had checked the discussions over and over again before posting the question and do not find an answer, and now after posting the question, I found what solved my problem - iPod sync fine with the Mac. (to goodbye PC)

    "Kenichi Watanabe 26 February 2016 06:04 Re: Ipod connects to itunes, but does not synchronize "
    in reply to Umphreys21

    OK, that's fine.  So, just what is currently on the iPod is already in your new library iTunes, correct?

    When you start with a new iTunes library and add your existing content, the iPod sees it as a new iTunes library, not the old one that was previously used to synchronize the iPod.  The partners from iPod to your new iTunes library and the Tower WE Auto Sync, follow these steps...

    Select the iPod in iTunes (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to display the parameters of the iPod in the iTunes window.  The side left (in the sidebar), under settings, click music.  Settings of music from the iPod screen is shown at right.

    NOTE: All iPod songs that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

    Check the box to Sync music.  This turns ON Auto Sync (and associate the iPod to your new iTunes library).  If your library complete iTunes music can fit on iPod, choose the option to synchronize the entire music library.  Click apply.

    On a separate note, since you started with a new iTunes library, you have added all your content to your backup, but you probably do not have the additional data (such as playlists, ratings, play head, date added, etc.).  Depending on how you have saved your iTunes data, it may be possible to restore your full (not only your media) iTunes library.  You need to be good with the help of your new iTunes library, but if you want more information, thanks for posting back. »

    So thanks Kenichi Watanabe

  • How to put iTunes library on the new iPhone 5 s computer

    I saw others asking similar questions, but the answers involve to make a backup of your old computer.  I can't do it.  My old computer has gone, I have no access to him, I can in no way make any kind of relief. I have a new computer now, and after much delayed due to all simply not wanting to fight with him, I decided to finally put on iTunes and sync my iPhone 5.  Now, I've been bitten by this before.  Several years ago is the same thing with another computer and when I tried to sync my iPhone 4, deleted everything on iTunes the phone and I could access is no longer dozens of songs I had bought on the phone.  They have not appear at all in my iTunes library, Apple told me they have not can recover songs even though I bought and paid for them, and I ended up losing hundreds of dollars.  I won't do that again.

    I wonder if there is anything that I can synchronize my current iTunes library on my 5 iPhone to iTunes library, I'm about to download to my new computer.  Any other response I saw said I should do a backup on my old computer, but I can't do it.  Is it possible to just transfer my phone library directly into my computer iTunes library?  All the music I have purchased legally through the iTunes store on my phone and comes in my library on my phone.  My new computer has Windows 10, fully updated and everything else on the computer functions normally.

    Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer!

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not that a transfer backup device and media has been planned with you keep a master copy of your media on a computer that is in itself independently supported against loss.  To use a device with a different configuration, you pass the old library from a computer or a backup directly in the new configuration, not the device to the library. Synchronization of media isn't a way, computer to the device, update the contents of the device to the content on the computer, update or restore the content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases that can be transferred to a computer.

    Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases an iPhone, iPad or iPod to computer - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201267 - 'this feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. From iOS9 is more apps that now need to be re-downloaded directly from the store.

    To transfer other items from an i-device to a computer, you will need to use third-party commercial software.  See this document in turingtest2: recover your iTunes library from your iPod or device iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 even this method can fully recover what you originally had in the library. For example, in order to save space during synchronization if you had converted music files at a lower rate, or photos at a lower resolution, it is these lower quality files that will pick you up.

    If you subscribe to the Apple music, titles that are not part of the content that you have purchased or downloaded may not be transferred and must be downloaded directly from iCloud.

  • How can I keep my iTunes library to a new installation of iTunes?

    Hello

    I got a new SSD and re-installed Windows 7 and all my software, including iTunes.

    I have my iTunes Library (iTunes Media folder) on a data reader and now I reinstalled iTunes and I want to keep the old library, so in the preferences, I put my iTunes library to the path leading to my old iTunes library, but the music still does not appear in iTunes. The only music that shows it's the music purchased from the iTunes store, but no CD-imports are shown.

    I hope someone can help me with this,

    Thanks in advance!

    Lars

    If you have the iTunes database files, launch iTunes with the SHIFT key pressed and select the library that contain. If you can't seem to them, made the iTunes Media folder inside the application window open iTunes or automatically add to iTunes folder; all the old library metadata that are lost.

  • ICloud download duplicates if she tries to download a backup library on a new computer?

    General information

    I am running OS X El Capitan on my MacBook Pro. My current setup, I have the Photos.app using a library of Photos on an external HARD drive. The photo library is 136 GB and is synchronized with iCloud library where I have 200 b of storage.

    I reinstalled OS X, formatting the SSD and got all my apps resettled. Then I tried to keep my library of Photos on my internal flash SSD instead of the external HARD disk drive permanently. I copied my library of Photos on the SSD, maintained key Option and selected my GB 136 Photos library as the library of Photos.app.  I went into Preferences and then set this as my default system for the pictures library.

    The question

    When I opened my preferences of library 136 GB in Photos.app the iCloud library option is not checked. When I checked, he warned me that I don't have enough storage in iCloud to accommodate 136 b pictures. I got 84 GB remaining. He asked me to upgrade my 1 TB storage plan. It's not like he's smart enough to understand that the library I've got, the 136 GB of photos & videos, is same Go 136 of photos & videos that he seeks to online.

    When I say just Photos.app continue to use my 200 GB storage plan, he complains that it will not be able to fit all these photos on iCloud. It will re - download all the pictures in my library? Is this enough smart to analyze any libraries (Commons and iCloud) and determine these already exist in iCloud and therefore do not need to be downloaded? I guess it would be, and in the end, I'll have my library connected to iCloud and two places containing 136 GB of data. The way in which their dialogue to explain it but won't let me not confident in this respect. The current situation shows that it downloads again everything that makes me concerned about potential duplicates.

    My ISP limit myself to 250 GB a month of bandwidth, so re - download the library consumes half of our data for the month. I really want to start using the library, I had already downloaded before formatting and reinstalling OS X.

    Any guidance would be great.

    Pictures downloads the complete library again at the slightest provocation.  For example, if you repair your photo library, it will download all the photos again, but it is to check in iCloud duplicates and will keep only one copy of identical pictures. But even once will take to download usually as long as the initial download, it may take even more time because of the correspondence with the photos in iCloud.

    What you could do instead was to create an empty photo library on the internal disk, enable this as the library of the system and your iCloud current photo library and wait for the pictures to download from iCloud. It will be faster to download again. The only downside would be that the thumbnails of faces are not stored in iCloud, tags searchable faces, so you should recreate the faces. It will be faster than the initial allocation of the faces, but still a lot of work.

  • Transfer iTunes library to a new external hard drive.

    I did a few years back, but as for the double control procedure to ensure I would correctly.

    My iTunes music library is stored on an external hard drive. It's almost to capacity, if I want to transfer the files from current music on an external hard drive more.

    I don't want to "lose" my preferences iTunes, settings etc that I have playlists, ratings and other data.

    I understand that the first thing is physical copy music files to the new external hard drive.

    What is the procedure to then "point" to the new hard drive.

    Thank you.

    Copy the iTunes folder whole, not only the media, on the external drive, launch iTunes with the Option key, choose this library and keep a backup on a different drive of it.

  • Transfer IPOD DB to new MAC

    How can I transfer content from my old IPOD to my new laptop Mac?  I tried all the suggestions and make the necessary changes in the settings but I can't access the files on the IPOD Nano.  When I try to sync the IPOD, I'm warned that it will eliminate from my iTunes library.  I just simply want to transfer the files from the IPOD to the Mac.  I can't access the IPOD records, where the music, she is somehow hidden.  Initially I had synced the IPOD on a Windows computer.  This is why I have problems to find the files?  Why Apple would make it so hard?  Thanks for any help!

    iTunes synchronization is generally in one direction, from iTunes to iPod library.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer files of song from iPod to computer (with the exception of songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are methods and third party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like 'ipod music transfer', you should get a few links (including a CNET article on the subject).

    Ideally, you should transfer your complete from your old computer to your new Mac iTunes library.  Your iPod is not designed to be your vehicle to backup or transfer of iTunes data.  So, if you have access to your old computer, with its iTunes library intact (or have a backup of your iTunes data), please report for information on the best way to transfer your iTunes data to the new Mac.  You will have then everything, including the support of data such as reading lists, notes, date added, etc.  Your iTunes library on your new Mac will the same iTunes library on your old computer.

  • I want to move my itunes library from my old PC to my new Mac, but the files on the PC in the old file structure.  How can I do this?

    I'm afraid that if I followed the instructions here (How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support), it will mess up things on my Mac that the file structure is totally different.  Is there a way to first convert the structure of the files on the PC to match the structure of files on Mac?  I've updated the version of iTunes on the PC for 12.1.3 (who he says is the most recent).  I tried following the instructions here: iTunes: understanding iTunes Media organization - Apple support but it is not an "Upgrade to iTunes Media organization" option when I go to the library to organize on the PC.  All advice is appreciated.

    This document is a bit outdated. File > library > organize library > reorganize files does the same thing as the the old upgrade to iTunes Media organization. For more information on preparing your library for the move, see make a library of portable split .
