iTunes 7 makes it easier to back up your iTunes library, playlists and iTunes store purchases. The "Back Up to Disc" feature saves your media to a blank disk (CD or DVD). iTunes can use that backup disk to automatically restore your iTunes library.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • CD or DVD
  • Computer

Step1
Open iTunes.
Step2
Insert your backup disk.
Step3
iTunes will ask whether you want to restore from this disk. Click "Restore."

Tips & Warnings

  • To reduce the number of disks needed for a backup, iTunes can perform incremental backups on items added or changed since the last backup.
  • iTunes will copy the files that fit on one disk and then ask you to insert subsequent disks to continue copying the remaining files.
  • Don't eject a disk while a backup is in progress.
  • You cannot back up spoken programs purchased from the Audible.com Web site.
  • You can only use the disks you create using the iTunes backup feature for restoration. You cannot play them in a CD or DVD player.
