Extract the hard drive from the faulty computer and recover the library from it or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. (At least one link in there may be useful even if you don't have such a device.)

I had to get a needed to get a new computer as my hard drive died. How do I geatr my ituens library of songs back?
The easy way is from the backup you make of your computer so in case something happens you don't lose anything.
You can download some media files purchased from Apple:
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
This will not reconstruct your library as it was. It just puts the media back. You will have to do playlists, ratings, etc. If you have music from another source you will have to get it from there again. -
My laptop broke and I just got a new one....how can I get my itunes library back?
My laptop I have had for 4 years had all my itunes music I purchased. It stopped working. I cannt even turn it on. Is there anyway I can get my library back?
That is not good at all.
You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
If you are in the U.S, then you can retrieve purchases from the newly released icloud: Open itunes store, click Purchases under Quick Links
Otherwise, they are gone.
Always maintaining a backup is very important. -

How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -

trial download for photoshop crashed and won't let me download. how can i get the free trial?
What means "crashed", and "won't let me"?
Anyway, download it from http://www.adobe.com/downloads.html
Usually I would recommend to download the direct downloads from http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl, but it seems the site is currently down. -
How do i get my Itunes library from my crashed hard drive to put on my new computer? The old computer had Windows Vista and the new computer has Windows 8.
It will only be where you put it.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases. -
How do i get my iTunes library to be showing the same playlist and songs that are on my iPhone 4s.
How do I get my iTunes library to show the same playlist order and songs order as what is on my iPhone 4s.
Drag it to an external drive or directly to the other computer, and if needed, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and choose that library. If it contains rented movies, those won't play on the desktop Mac.

Copy the iTunes music folder to an external hard drive then plug that external hard drive onto the new computer click the folder and then install and go into iTunes on the new computer and click (add folder to library) and you should see your library in iTunes on the new computer fill up.
This method would lose ratings, play counts, playlists, date added, etc. and any device synced with the current library would see this as a "new" library and consequently iTunes would want to erase and reload all content.

I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times Since upgrading to iTunes 11 and Windows 8. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files. Three times. Beginning to lose my temper. Advice? Suggestions? Could the fact that my original library is located on a network drive have anything to do with it? Thanks for your help, all.
Repair security permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7/8 shouldn't be too different.
Repeat for the media folder if it isn't a subfolder of the iTunes folder.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Without a backup, you will not be able to recover deleted contacts. You need to set up a separate iCloud account for your daughter, so you can keep your mail, contacts, calendars etc separate. -
ok so somehow my sister deleted all my photos off photo booth and now all my photos on iphoto i cant view them i want to know how i can get my deleted photos back and how to view the rest of my photos please help !!!!
Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.
