How do I retrieve my itunes songs on my new computer because my old one crashed?
Thanks!

Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer.
If for some odd reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:
File>transfer Purchases
In the U.S you can use the newly released icloud, beta version, to get itunes purchases.  open itunes store, click Purchased under Quick Links

  • How do i sync an iphone to a new computer because my old one crashed.

    All my music is still on my iphone but I can't get it to download to a pac

    If your old hard drive works, you can put it in an external usb enclosure and copy your entire iTunes folder to your new computer.  Otherwise, if you have to copy music from your phone to your computer that wasn't purchased from the iTunes store you'll have to use 3rd party to do so, such as Touch Copy (PC or Mac) or PhoneView (Mac only).

  • How do i get my itunes account on my new computer from my old one which is gone.....

    had set up my new computer and i have accessed my itunes account....i can not get all the music i had from my other computer even though i am in the same account....y is this? I can cancel out the other account becausse none of those computers r operating right now.

    Have you copied the backup of your music from your old computer onto your new one and done File > Add Folder to Library in iTunes ? If you are expecting to be able to re-download your music purchases from iTunes then you can't - media (music, films, tv shows) can only be downloaded once, which is why you are advised to make, and maintain, backups of any purchased content.

    I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
    1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
    and
    2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
    WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
    Thanks for any time taken on this!!!

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    Hi, I need to activate my Adobe CS3 on a new computer because my old one died and I'm having difficulty. Tried the normal registration way and then logged in with my Adobe ID and can see the software and activation code already registered. How to get it on my computer registered?

    If your two activation are in use you need to call Adobe. Install CS3 to to point of activation and call Adobe at that point.  They have help me in cases like your My Disk crashed and I replaced it. Could not deactivate the crash activation.  I done that twice over the years I've been using  PS for around 20 years
    To see your key you need to click on the product in your Adobe products and services page.

  • How to sync music library to a new computer after my old one crashed

    I am trying to sync my music library from my ipone 4 to a new computer since my old one crashed.  Is there a way to do this without looking my music?

    Hi scotttwoodward1985,
    I'm sorry to hear that your computer crashed--that's never any fun. You definitely may download Acrobat and reinstall it. You can download it from this page: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • How do I get my iTunes library onto my new computer when my old computer died?

    How can I upload my iTunes library onto my new computer from my iPod or iPad? our old computer died and now I cannot move my iTundes library from my iPod or iPhone onto the new iTunes. Anyone have a workaround for this?

    It depends on what you mean by "died".
    If the old computer is a Mac, you can try starting it up in "Target Disk Mode" - it doesn't attempt to start up like a computer, it pretends to be an external hard drive so it might work even if your old computer still has power (even if it's otherwise unusable). You then use a firewire cable (or or firewire to thunderbolt adapter) to plug the old computer into the new one, and can copy the music off the old hard drive.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
    Or, if you're handy with a screwdriver, open up the old computer and take the old hard drive out. How easy that is depends on what model computer it is. You can then pop the hard drive into an "external enclosure" (about $20 from any computer parts store), plug that into your new computer's USB port and copy away - and you even get to keep using the old hard drive as an external hard drive. But that's assuming it really is the computer that "died" and not the hard drive itself.
    Finally, if it's the hard drive in the old computer that died, but the computer itself is still good, you can try using a utility like DiskWarrior or TechTools Pro to try to recover the old hard drive, then use one of the above methods.
    if you want to copy the music directly from you ipod, you can try these instructions - How to transfer music from an iPod to your computer | How To - CNET

  • How can I retrieve my itunes library on a new computer after my older ipod dies and cannot be turned on?

    A while back my early model iPod died and I have no desire or money to replace it. I invested a small fortune in my library and it was quite a blow when my pc died eventually as well. I still have the old  broken ipod, (good for it's serial number but that's about it), and am using a new computer that I would like to try and retrieve my extensive itunes library on. I know somewhere in the labrynth that is apple support there is something about getting your library back with the use of your broken device's serial number but cannot find it back. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance...

    I have a windows 7.

    It is on your old computer.  Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
