my computer recently shut down and all of my itunes was lost. My ipad still has all of my songs on it. How can i download all of my music onto my new itunes. would i need a different acount?

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

i didnt get a chance to back my phone up before the comp crashed
will i lose any of my stuff?

When you open iTunes and plug in iPhone (iPod) to computer, it appear in the left bar. Then just simply right click on you iPhone (iPod) and choose Transfer Purchases, this should copy your purchased items to your computer.
Hope this help

I backed up files onto an external hard rive form my old PC. Now I want to retrieve the files to put on my mac but it is telling me to format it to Mac. How can I do this without erasing all of the data on my hard drive?

Your drive was used with a PC and formatted NTFS which is proprietary Microsoft format.
You need to install a third party program that will read the NTFS format.
There is various software from PARAGON, Tuxera and NTFS-3G
When you get the data off and have verified it to be good, reformat the drive either HFS+ for Mac use only, or for Mac and PC use then MSDOS (FAT32) for under 4GB files (best) or exFAT (for larger than 4GB files) is proprietary and Microsoft is appling for a patent, which would likely mean OS X won't be allowed to read it anymore without a licensing fee and you'l have to pay another third party software company to read the format, just like NTFS is.
The less you have to rely upon third party sources to read your drives the better, this way if you have a issue and need to read the drive on another machine you don't need the software, and a internet connection and a credit card and...and...and...

Ok, well you'll need to do something like this. Now this part is a little dependent on your database server:
       try {
            Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
            Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection(
                                                       "jdbc:mysql://{database-server}/{database-name}:3306?user={username}&password={password}");
            Statement Stmt = c.createStatement();
            int count = Stmt.executeUpdate(cmd);
            if(count>0) {
                 System.out.println("count: " + count);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    }That was some sample code for a MySQL database.
Note that the applet can only contact the server that is was loaded from, so you might want to do a getCodeBase() or something like that to get the server address.
Hope this is helpful.

I have music on my ipod and a new library on my new pc and i would like to merge both together. How can i do this without erasing the one on my ipod?

I have an Ipod with alot of music on it that i have had for a while. The PC i used to sync it to crashed and i lost my itunes library. I now have a new PC and have already started loading new music onto it. I now realize that the music that is on my Ipod is not on the PC yet. I would like to know how to merge my ipod with the old music onto the new PC with the new music. When i pluged it in Itues said it would erase the ipod and replace it with what is now on the PC and of course i said no. So i now have two different libraries and would like to only have one made up of both. Any help?

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I want to create a new apple account and switch my iPod Touch over to it. How can i do this without erasing all of the data?

I have an iPod Touch (4th generation) and found i would like to switch it over to a new apple account. Is there anyway for this to happen without deleting any data?

Yes, just go to Settings>App and iTunes store and sign out of existing ID and sing into the other.
The Apple ID is also used in:
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>iCloud
- Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?

How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?
I have tried to do this through home sharing but as I don't have the old laptop it wont let me.
Any HELP please?!?
Would be much appreciated.

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?

I sold a ipad 1.. I did a reset and cleaned out all data before shipping to him. however, the new owner tells me when he connects to itunes it is asking for my password. how can i resolve this without giving him my password? will a hard reset take care of this?

Have the purchaser go to Settings/Store, tap your Apple ID and then choose Sign out.
The purchaser will then need to tap Sign in and enter their own Apple ID for their iTunes account.

They told you incorrectly, although it is not a good idea to rely on the device as a single point of storage.
You must have an Apple ID to purchase content via iTunes, simply log in with that ID in iTunes. Then connect the device and sync it. For detailed instructions, read the manual which is available online or on the device.

Formatting will erase the drive.
You need to copy the photo's to either your old computer, the Mac Mini or to a new external drive and then decide what to do with your existing external drive.
For example: You could use one External drive for Photo's and one external drive for Time Machine to backup both your Mac Mini and the Photo drive.

After I downloaded the new version of iTunes 11.0.1 and i try to open it it says: ''There is no application set to open the document ''iTunes 11.0.1.dmg.part''. How can i install this without paying for an app to do it? What apps can i download to do this type of work.

.dmg.part is not a complete file.. It usually indicates that the entire file has not been downloaded yet. Are you sure you downloaded the entire file? (i recommend updating itunes through  > Software Update
