How to transfer my music from a PC to iTunes?

I plan to buy a Mac soon. I already have an iPhone and an iPad. My old PC has all my legally purchased music stored on it and I want to download on ITunes so that I do not lose and can be accessed on all my devices. There is an extensive library that runs through nearly 40 years of my life. It would cost me thousands of dollars to replace. I have set up iTunes on my PC and I'm converting it to AAC files. I'm storing all currently on my iCloud drive, but I still can't access it from iTunes on my apple devices. I can't find the files on these devices iCloud. Only the PC sees.

Don't bother conversion from one format to another lossy. No gain to have there.

See make a library of portable split. As long as your library is in the form of portable you can copy all on a Mac. You will need to use your network or maybe a temporary copy on an NTFS disk partition which you can then copy a disk of HFS + on Mac since the Mac can't write to NTFS drives natively.

  • How to transfer my music FROM Media Player to iTunes?

    Hello, I have an iPhone and I want to use my iTunes.  When I used the easy transfer cable he put all my music in Media Player and iTunes not. I can't get Windows 7 to allow me to transfer my music and video from Media Player to iTunes.  How can I do this? And choose "Import a file" does not work.  Thank you!

    Open iTunes, in the section of the library, click on music.

    Open the folder where your music is stored, probably the standard place which is the library, my music.

    Highlight all the music files that you want on your iPhone, just right-click on it, select copy, then back in iTunes, select Paste.  You can also drag and drop if you find that easier.

    Depending on the context, I'll assume that you are asking how to unload files of songs from an iPod to a computer.  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)

    NOTE: Songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be downloaded again free of charge, on the iTunes Store purchased screen.

    Download your purchases past - Apple Support

    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).  Once the files of songs from the iPod to your disk, add them to your current iTunes library.

    Further, you should backup your iTunes data.  Apple describes a way to back up your folder full of iTunes on an external drive.

    Manage and backup your iTunes media library - Apple Support

    This method should also be used when switching from an old computer to a new computer.  By transferring or restore your complete iTunes folder, it's the same iTunes library on the new computer, not a new iTunes library with your old songs.  iPods are not designed to be your data from iTunes backup.

  • How to transfer my music from Ipod to i-tunes on my PC without losing songs from iPods?

    How to transfer my music from i-pod3 to PC without losing my music from iPod?

    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 add music from songs purchased on itunes to my movie maker project

    I can't download music purchased on itunes store for my movie maker project.

    Eldemira,

    Windows Movie Maker can accept audio files in MP3 or AAC format.  Thus the newer files from the iTunes Store should work.  But if you bought before mid-2009 and iTunes files have not improved their, they are "protected" and cannot be used.

    Hello

    ITunes game uses no storage iCloud. He needs analyzing your music on your computer in order to determine what can be mapped and must be downloaded. Once the music in the cloud, you need to turn on icloud music library on your iOS devices.

  • How to transfer a playlist from old mac to new mac

    I just copied a CD on my old Itunes Mac (because I don't have CD player in the new Macbook air). Then, I created a playlist with the tracks on the CD. Now, how to transfer the new list of reading old mac to new mac?

    Hello rbaenzm,

    I understand you want to get music from a CD in your new MacBook Air, but you do not have a CD player.  Since you have already imported your CDs in your old (er) Mac iTunes library, you can use home sharing to share these files with your MacBook Air:

    If you plan to do it often, it may be easier to our SuperDrive Apple USB drive simply attach to your MacBook Air.
