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

  Once your music files on your disk, add them to your iTunes library.  After the confirmation that all your songs are there, you can synchronize your iPod as you wish.

• Delete and synchronize with the new iTunes library

  I recently got a new MacBook Pro and put in place a new iTunes account using my apple ID. I was previously using a PC computer and buys a different apple for iTunes id. My phone is synchronized with the computer and transferred all my purchases to my computer, but not my apps. But now it is said to bring anything to my new iTunes, I need to erase and sync, then I can put on the new iTunes things. It is said that it can only be synchronized an iTunes at the same time, but what is it clear? If she will take just the back upward, that's fine. I'm just confused about what is clear and what will happen if I clear its contents. Any help is appreciated.

  Why did you create a new AppleID?

  You can't transfer purchases to the new AppleID.

  You can update old AppleID if you have the new email address.

  Just copy the entire folder/iTunes / / Music from PC to Veronica on your Mac.
  That's all you need to do.

• old itunes library

  How can I add my i - pod old songs included in my new itunes library (which is held today in my pc and i-phones, too)?

  If iTunes purchased songs, you should be able to copy them to the iTunes library on your computer by connecting the iPad and by file > devices > transfer purchases and you can then synchronize with your phone. If they are not purchasing iTunes they should already be on your computer and/or your backup of your library of downloads.

• Windows Vista (damaged) iTunes library

  I have a PC with Windows Vista. My iTunes has about 8000 songs in my library. Most have been burned CDs, mp3 Youtube and a few itunes purchases.

  About 3500 are grouped into playlists. Only my playlists are synced to an iPod classic.

  I think that this old PC can be buggy and two nights ago, there was a question C: drive which

  the "repaired" computer itself - took a few hours...

  Today, I burned a few songs from the CD to add to my itunes library.

  Now these two CD accounts for almost my entire library - I can also find a few old Itunes purchases

  in the iTunes library.  But 95% of the library is "gone".

  There is a folder called Itunes library (damaged) which has 2.5 MB. I suspect that this is my previous library and playlists.

  I can't get it open.

  I really want to restore the entire library and transfer it to a new PC w Windows 10.

  Can anyone help?

  The song files are probably still stored on your computer.  The "damage" was to your file to iTunes (the one marked as "damaged") library database.  The iTunes Library.itl file is what keeps track of songs (and other media) in your iTunes library and where their media files are stored.  If it is damaged, iTunes creates a new (empty) iTunes library database file.  Real media files are not in the iTunes library file, they are stored elsewhere.

  I think that this old PC can be buggy and two nights ago, there was a question C: drive which

  the "repaired" computer itself - took an hour or two.

  NOTE: If there are general data corruption, it may have also affected some of your media files (not only your iTunes library database file).

  The default location (for your iTunes media files) is account user music (or music), and then in the iTunes folder in your folder.  Using Windows Explorer, to see if you have a folder called iTunes Media to this place (it can be called iTunes Music).  If you do, look inside to find your song files, organized by media type, then artist name and album name.  If you use default iTunes, songs that you imported to CD via iTunes should be there.  Songs purchased from iTunes Store should be at this place.  The song files added from an external source (not directly imported from CD or iTunes Store) may or may not be stored at this location.

  I really want to restore the entire library and transfer it to a new PC w Windows 10.

  When you find your music files, copy them to a disk of a certain type.  On the new computer, run iTunes.  Go to the Advanced iTunes preferences pane.  There is a setting here to copy files to the iTunes folder when adding to Library Media.  I think that the option is not checked by default for Windows, but you should check in your case.  The other setting to keep iTunes Media folder organized must also be checked, if it isn't already.

  Show your music library in the iTunes window.  In the external drive with your song files, drag the song files or folders containing music files to the iTunes window and the drop.  iTunes adds all the compatible media files it finds in your new iTunes library.  Alternatively, instead of drag and drop, you can use the Add to library iTunes command in menu bar, under file.

  NOTE: This adds only your old media files to a new iTunes library.  Data such as playlists, ratings, number of coin, date added, etc are not transferred.  If you want to retrieve these data support, you can get it back on the old PC.  Please report if you want to try to do, instead of just transfer your media files to the new PC.

• 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

• Missing iTunes library and playlists... Please help

  Hello, this morning to my horror, I started iTunes and all my 20,000 songs and playlists, I spent years developing are absent.  Would it be a problem with my hard drive or a disk that allows iTunes search startup files?  I checked the path to the file and it seems that the music is always in their folders however re import all would not get the playlists back and on top of that the last backup I have was from 2014.    Can anyone help

  It is possible that your iTunes library file has become corrupted, so iTunes has started up with a new iTunes library.  Or you may have accidentally set iTunes to open a new iTunes library.  If you use the default configuration, the iTunes library file is located in your iTunes folder and called iTunes Library.itl, to this place

  [startup drive] /Users/ [your name of user account] / music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl

  NOTE: The iTunes library file is a database that defines your iTunes library.  It contains no files media real iTunes, which are organized and stored separately.

  Go to this location using a Finder window; What do you see?  If you see a file called iTunes Library.itl here, quit iTunes (if you run) and use this method to open iTunes using this library file.

  Open a different iTunes library file or create a new - Apple Support

  If it does not open or if you still get a library empty in iTunes, you use Time Machine to back up your boot drive?  If you do, you can restore your library iTunes from a State of backup file (date/time) when it does not have this problem.  In your case, it would be immediately before the last time you used iTunes with a working library.  Time Machine does incremental backups every hour, so this should be very close to when the problem occurred, if your iTunes library should be updated more often.

  If you do not have a backup (why not?) of your user data, look in the folder iTunes for a folder called Previous iTunes Libraries.  iTunes, these backups when there is a major update to iTunes, in the case where something bad happens or the user must go back to a previous version of iTunes for some reason any.  If the last backup of 'previous' iTunes library is not too old, you can use this library file to open iTunes, using this procedure

• Itunes library from scratch the external HARD disk

  Hello, I searched, but most of the questions is related to mobile phones an existing library to an external HARD drive. I have two questions:

  1 - What are the steps to create a new itunes library where all the content is on an external HARD drive. In addition, news will be also added and updated to this HARD drive, not for the Mac. I use other computers and media can be added to those on the HARD drive.

  2 - I currently have a Macbook pro 2015, but I plan to buy a Mac Mini for my media center. Time, because I want to update content still on the HARD drive, it will be easier start the process again on the Mac mini, or using the existing library of move then?

  Thanks a lot for any help

  1. Press on and hold down the Option key while you click on the icon to launch iTunes. Keep now until asked to choose or create a library. Click on create. I would recommend that you make the library in the root of your chosen drive and call the iTunes folder.
     See also Open a different iTunes library file or create a new Apple Support one-
  2. You can connect this external hard drive to the Mac mini and the Option-start-iTunes to connect, or to copy the iTunes folder that is all about the internal drive (assuming that there is place) and connect here if you prefer. Restarting loses ratings, play count indictment, playlist membership, date added, etc. and can mean the loss of data if you have devices that synchronize normally to your library. Avoid it if you can.

• Transfer a file from Windows Media Player library to iTunes library

  I recently downloaded 5 songs mp3 that I paid for, expecting to go on my iTunes account after the opening of each of them. They went into the Windows Media Player on my computer instead.

• How can I get my iTunes library is displayed on my new Macbook Pro?

  I have a new macbook pro. my old macbook crashed. I try to access my iTunes library to my new computer and am not succeed. I have "authorized" this computer, but it does not appear on my list "manage devices" in iTunes. Any suggestions?

  Hi KathShan,

  I understand that you have a problem with access to your music on your MacBook Pro. Let's see if we can get this sorted out.

  If you use Apple iTunes game or music, then you will need to make sure you have iCloud active library. I opened iTunes preferences and on the general tab, you should see iCloud music library and make sure that it is checked. After that, your library will appear.

  Take a look at the article below, but also a screenshot to preferences iTunes for more details.

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204926

  If you use any music from Apple or iTunes game, then you will only be able to download your past purchases. If you can somehow have access to your old iTunes library, you can transfer them to your new Mac. Take a look at two articles that talk about this.

• Need simple explanation - move iTunes library to new PC

  I'm looking for a simple explanation of the functioning to the iTunes library to MOVE from one PC to another. The current/old computer will go far. KEY: need to keep notes of the song and playlists.  The last time I did I lost the scoring for thousands of songs and lost all the selections.

  Old computer is Windows 7

  New is Windows 10

  Is there a software that will do this for me?

  THANKS FOR THE HELP!

  • Where appropriate, consolidate your library so that all media included in the library are stored in iTunes standard media folders
  • Copy the complete library (whether as a result of the default values of iTunes, this will be C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes) from the old PC to the location on the new PC
    • If the library is small, if would be possible to copy over a network or using a USB
    • for large libraries, use an external hard drive as an intermediate storage device
    • Although the Windows copy and paste standard functions ' should be enough, third-party utility (I use Terracopy), or the method described in the user tip of turingtest2 on the backup of your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library, may be more resistant to errors possible/interruptions during the copy process
  • If you have already installed and launch iTunes on the new PC, you need to overwrite all the files/folders is already present in C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes (this implies that you haven't added all the new PC which is not present on the old media).
  • Now launch iTunes on the new PC - the method described above ensures that data from the old PC iTunes (which is where are stored all your playlists, ratings, etc.) is available on the new.
  • An additional advantage to do this correctly, is that the new PC has now a physical copy of the same logic of the old library, so all iDevices will see this 'the same' library and you can continue the synchronization operations without risk of deletion of the device.

• Copy iTunes library to new computer and NAS configuration as an iTunes server

  Hello

  My current setup is a macbook with an external hard drive to the iTunes library. I just bought a new Macbook Pro and am about to transfer my library from anywhere on my new computer. I have a very large iTunes library and I would like to be able to access it from my laptop, iPhone and iPad using Plex, Sonos or similar to primarily play music around my house. I won't have my Macbook Pro on all the time to play the music.

  Rather than copy my iTunes through library to my new Macbook Pro, I intend to:

  1 copy my current iTunes library to a NAS drive

  2. set the destination folder to iTunes on my new MacBook Pro on the NAS drive

  What is the correct procedure? Are there problems that? Does anyone have suggestions better?

  Drag the iTunes folder everything from the old computer to the NAS. Launch iTunes on the new computer while holding down the option/alt key and when prompted choose the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes on the NAS folder.

  The NAS must be on and wake up before from iTunes or the computer will forget the location of the library file and you use the option + method again.

  Some like the idea of a SIN to do what you want to do but iTunes and NAS don't do not always play very well together.  Make sure that you keep good backups against the day you post here saying that your iTunes library everything is a mess and you try to play a track and something completely different once. or etc, etc.

  I don't know about all of these interfaces you mention.  If you are hosting the music to an iPhone an iPhone can not read directly a NAS and you must have iTunes running to serve the media.
