Question about itunes

Just transferred my iTunes to a new computer. None of my playlists are there and none of the songs I downloaded from CDs. Anybody know how to get them? TIA

Did you plug your ipod into the computer? It has to sync (at least that is what mine did). I have my music on both my computer and Ipod. You may also need to update the software.

You need to export your play lists from the old computer and transfer them over to the newer computer to get the play lists

You should be able to get a .xtml file from the old version and import it to the new version

Hello Rockopper104

Have you perhaps tried to follow these steps?

For songs ripped from CD's , I believe that you should need to have the iTunes Match.

Your iTunes music is saved in one of the following locations:

Windows XP

Cocuments and Settings[User_Name]My DocumentsMy MusiciTunesiTunes Media

Windows Vista

C:Users[User_Name]MusiciTunesiTunes Media

Windows 7

C:Users[User_Name]My MusiciTunesiTunes Media

Note:[User_Name] will vary. If you are unable to find your username, it is usually named something generic such as "Owner" or "User".

You can import the music back into iTunes after the restore by following the steps below:

1. Find the new location of your music files.

2. Launch iTunes and go to File; Add Folder to Library.

3. Browse to the desired location within the Browse for Folder window and click on the folder you want to add to the library.

4. Click Ok. (Click Select Folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7)

You are right. This came from a Carbonite restore. It tells me where my files are located, and I found a video at YouTube to help me with backup and moving files https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZjhAdCeMY0

You will need to import your songs manually into iTunes on the new computer. To do this use an external hard drive, or a USB flash drive with enough room to hold all of your music. Plug that into your old computer, then follow the directions posted above from Nutmeg3. Once you find the folder with the music, copy it to the hard drive or flash drive. Then plug your dribe into the new computer. Go to iTunes on the new computer, and click on import songs. Then select your drive from the list. Click the folder, or songs you want, and click import.

Thanks everybody for your help. I stupidly forgot to mention that my hard drive fried so I had to use my click-free. I knew my computer was acting up so I kept it pretty current. Any more ideas? TIA

Okay, so if you had everything from the old computer backed up to the click free. Then your songs are already on the click free. Connect that to your new computer, then follow the instructions above to import that folder from the click free to iTunes.

Will your current click-free work with your new computer OS. You may want to check the Click-free site.
