Bought a new computer and lost my account info - HELP!

I finally got around to upgrading our computer and bought a new Vista based PC. I still have to worry about transferring my iTunes library from the old computer (any ideas on the simplest way??).
I downloaded the latest iTunes software and logged back in using my account info. But it treats me as if I were brand new. I can't find my account $ balance - and I can't find anywhere the info on downloading my pre-order of the new Maroon 5 CD.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks,
Brad

Husband upgraded to new computer and lost my tunes. Help!

Husband bought me a new computer, moved all programs, files, etc. Now my ITunes has reverted to an older edition which does not include much revamping, playlist organization, and purchased tunes. We can't seem to find the more current file/folder/version. Real novices here, but would appreciate any help.
Thank you.

If he moved "all files," it would have included the purchased music. If he missed something, send him back to the old computer to copy them to an external drive (or other convenient medium) and then copy them from the drive to the new computer.

HT1386 I bought a new computer and I cannot transfer my library to this new one. The message says that I'm not allowed to sync with two computers??? How can I delete the previous from my account???

You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

I bought a new computer and downloaded my lightroom 4 to it. When I installed the program it asked for my serial number and I imputed it. Then it asked for my previous serial number from my original lightroom 3 purchase. Since I upgraded to lightroom 4 I don't have the serial number for the version 3. How do I get the serial number from my 3 version so I can activate my version 4 program

If you have Lightroom 3 still installed, you can get it from there.
If you don't and you have your box/disk, it should be on there.
IF you don't have either of those,and you registered your software, you can log into your Adobe account and retrieve it there.

You need to contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them and asking for the Account Security team.

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.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

My old computer wouldnt let me authorize me to play my songs, even thought I submitted the password and ID. Now I bought a new computer, and I cant get my old songs back. What do I do?

My old computer wouldnt let me authorize me to play my songs even though I submitted the password and Windows ID. Now I bought a new computer, and I cannot get my old songs back. What do I do?

This can be resolved through a phone call to Apple, provided you can pass the verification process: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
You'll need to speak to someone in Account Security.

I recently bought a new computer and downloaded itunes onto it. When i sync my ipod it prompts me to authorize my computer
with the purchases that i've made, but when i try to do so, my apple i.d. is not what shows up and so my ipod won't sync any of my songs or apps. I have no idea who's username i'm seeing and i've never seen it before. That's the only thing that is stopping my ipod to sync, a password that isn't mine!! I am beyond frustrated and don't know what else to do, if someone can please help me i would be so appreciative you have no idea. Thank you so much

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

TS1967 I have just bought a new computer and downloaded latest version of itunes. It has all installed fine, but when I sync my ipod, it shows all the songs but won't play any of the songs in that library. Also, I can't add new files.

I have just bought a new computer and downloaded the latest version of itunes. It has all installed fine, but when I plug my ipod and sync it, the music library shows all the songs and videos that are on there, but won't let me play them. Also, I can't add any new songs to the same library. It saves them elsewhere. I have had the previous version on another computer and it worked just fine. I have been online trying to find an answer but nothing. Hope someone can help me. Thanks

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

Drag the folder into the library in the open iTunes program window.

Recently bought a new computer and all my music appears in iTunes as well as on my computer in a saved folder. When I try to play the music in iTunes I get an error that reads"the song could not be used because the original file could not be found."

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

a Friend of mine bought a new computer and they have a WRT54G wireless router. The computer is connected to the router with a network cable and the only thing they use the wireless portion for id the Wii they have in the other room. Do I need to reinstall the linksys setup disk on the new computer even though the computer is hardwired to the router? With the new comp I can still get to the 192.168.1.1 router page. Will the Wii continue to work wirelessly without installing the setup disks on the new comp..
Thanks all for your help.

The setup program on the CD does only configure the router. The router is like a computer but without keyboard or display. Therefore you have to configure it from a PC with an ethernet connection. Once the router is configured you don't have to run the CD anymore. Just plug in the new computer and it should work. The default settings in Windows should work fine with the router.
