With your new computer, you'll download a fresh copy of iTunes and then authorize iTunes using your Apple ID and Password.  Read the following link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
You can then connect your iPad to your new computer via USB cable and transfer your purchases (do not connect your iPad until you have authorized the computer.  The music you had in your old iTunes account will not be in your new account as music is stored in a file on your hard drive, which you said has crashed.

    Note that the Backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

  • I have bought a new laptop how do I transfer my itunes library to it?

    I have recently bought a new lap top and I tunes is asking me to authorise it before it will allow me to play my previously purchased tunes. The instructions are to open I tunes, go to the store, open the menu and click on "authorise this computer" . I've looked and looked and can't see a menu anywhere. Please help!

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

    Use the backup you have of the old computer and restore that data to the new computer. Also and backups that you have made of your iTunes library (it has a method to back it up as well) can be copied back over to the new computer. If you attempt to sync the phone to the new computer without the data, it will delete that data from the phone. The iPhone is not designed as a storage/backup device and as such will not sync music from itself to a new computer.
    If by chance you had not been backing up the computer and/or iTunes, you can google for some third party software, such as Touchcopy that will do some of what you are asking.

    You can only deauthorize everything to do that. Click on Account under Quick Links. You can deauthorize all five there. But you can only do this once a year.

    You are not going to be able to recover the music from your iPod to you new laptop.
    It doesn't work that way. It only move music from you iOS device to your computer.
    You can download what you purchased from Apple. Anything else is lost.
    Hence the reason we are always harping on backups.

    my old laptop is not working.  How do I get my itunes account and library on my new computer with out wiping out my ibrary?

    Hi 1Donald,
    To answer your question, ''"How can my new desktop have a KEY when it is not even part of the sync yet?"''
    You need to get the key from the new device and enter it into the old device. So on the old device select "Pair a device" and the place to enter the key will show up.
    I hope this helps.

    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    I must tell you, I am in the situation that MegsiPhone described and I am confused as to what to do.  Here is what I have done thus far:
    1.  I installed iTunes on my new computer, I wen't ahead and set up a new library file locally, and pointed to my NAS for all the music and movies file in edit>advanced.  From what I recall, when I did I can remember getting a whole bunch of messages about apps, new versions, overwriting.  I don't recall, regadless I dismissed each on and did not override.  Anyway, that's all done now.
    2.  I can tell you that I used to back up three iPhones and an iPod touch to my old PC.  There is a mixture of 4 iTunes ID's with various app purchases, it seems a mess. 
    3.  I did plug my phone in, it gave me the error message about syncing only to one computer.  Then I did a back-up and a sync.  I know it did not work right because it took a matter of seconds when I know it should take a lot longer.  Anyway, as a safeguard I am using iCloud back-up for now before I do anything else.
    So, what do I do now to make this all right?  I would like to be able to sync mine and my wife's iPhone to the computer.  Should I not bother and just keep my back-up in the cloud and are there disadvantages to this?  For my son's iPhone, I can let him back-up to the old computer, I would assume that would remain good and I would not have any issues.  Should I erase the back-up on my new computer, erase the appss or whatever and start from scratch?  Kind of not sure how to handle, please help.

    You should be able to log into your account via the Store > Sign In menu option - if the drop-down menus aren't showing the control-B should them to show.
    Your balance should be accessible wherever you are signed into the account. My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option (that option will only show after you've signed in).

  • How do I edit my iTunes account and also verify what credit card number I have in my account?  Several charges have shown up on my husband's company credit card and I would like to see if they are my charges.

    Please tell me how to edit my iTunes account info.  The we're charges from iTunes on my husband's company credit card.  I can't tell by the amount if they were mine that were supposed to go on my card.  There's just a total charge and not a detailed account of the purchases.  Please advise.  Thanks.

  • I just got a new laptop and i want to put the musisc i had on my ipod from my old computer to my new laptop how do i do that

    [lease help

    You should copy the music from your old computer and put it on an external hard drive or flash drive. Then plug in that drive to your new computer and drop all the music into itunes from the drive on your new computer.
    If you don't have access to your old computer, you will have to buy a recovery program that can copy the music from your iPod. I highly recommend iRip from "the little app factory". http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/
    The program is about $20 and it will save you from losing all your music. I have used it to save my massive music collective on my iPod classic when my old windows machine crashed. iRip also will let you grab 100 tracks for free off your iPod so you can see for yourself that the program actually works!
    iTunes stores music in these directories:
    Windows: C:// ... /user/My Documents/My Music/iTunes
    Mac OS:  /User/Music/iTunes
    Hope this helps!

  • My one computer got damaged and i bought a new one how do i transfer my itune library from that computer to the new one

    I had a itune library on one computer and it got damaged. I went out and bought myself another computer thinking that when I sign in my old library would come up. Wrong. Since I was unaware of this I did not back up my songs. Now I am trying to obtain my information from my old computer. I just have the songs on my Ipod touch which I can not seem to transfer to the new computer. I can not be the only one that this has happen to. I have all the information a person would require. How do I get my information from my old library back onto the new computer

    There is a program called Migration Assistant that can help, this is the Mac to Mac article, there is a similar article for PC to Mac.
