Can I access iTunes music i bought previously that was on another computer?

Got a new laptop to replace my old one that was stolen and hope to get to my music files i had purhcased.

You buy one download and one download only.
Was your backup copy of your computer stolen as well? If not, then use it to put everything back.
Otherwise, you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

Can't access iTunes music store anymore!!

I recently just added Webroot Spysweeper and Norton Anti-Virus, while I made changes to the firewall on Norton and completely disabled Spysweeper, I still keep getting an error when trying to connect to the iTunes music store with my account.
"We Could Not Complete Your iTunes Store Request. An unknown error occurred (-50).
"There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later. "
Then if I skip logging in and just click anything such as Music, Movies, TV Shows directly, I get this error...
"We Could Not Complete Your iTunes Store Request. The network connection timed out.
"Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again"
My internet connection is fine, but I can't figure out what is happening.
Please help!!

I can't access "Run Diagnostics." It only shows "Run CD Diagnostics." In fact, I can't even get into the Apple Discussions Support website. I am having to use my other computer to send these posts. My other computer has not been upgraded to Internet Exporer 7.0 yet and it will bring up Itunes Music Store okay, so I can see the "Run Diagnostics" you are talking about just fine. Any other ideas?

Can't Access iTunes Music Store, Please Help

When I open my itunes and click on the music store, I can not access it. It says, "Could not complete the music store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later."
My internet connection is fine, so I don't know what is going on. My firewall is set to accept itunes requests. This has been going on for a few days now, I'm clueless on what's going on. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'd start off by going to the "Advanced" menu and selecting "Run Diagnostics...", then choosing to test for network settings to the iTunes Store. It should tell you if a firewall really is blocking you from accessing the store or if something is going on, I would think.

Can't access itunes music on Apple TV anymore

I used to have access to itunes music in my apple TV, but the menu's are gonr now, although stil there for TV shows and movies.

Same here, lost my left couple menus related to the Apple Store, so I can only watch from my own Library, and the internet menu. Airplay works well though
I logged out, logged into the store, it says I'm logged in. unplugged and restarted, no luck either. doesn't seem like a great revenue-generating idea from Apple LOL! hopefully this will be fixed soon! (or somebody comes up with a solution!!)

After downloading iTunes 7.4.1 - Can not access iTunes Music Store

Please help, if you know of anything I might be able to do, please let me know! =)

HT3819 Can you access home sharing from iPhone 5 that is on another wifi. Say mcdonalds

I want to access my music, videos, etc. from my computer. On iPhone 4 I was able to do this with home sharing. Now my iPad, iPhone 5 cannot access unless I am at home. I have iTunes Match. How do I view my movies over wifi with home sharing

There is a difference between accessing one of your computers at home over a local network (wired or WiFi) and trying to access the same shared folder from outside of your local network. In principle it isn't possible due to the way data is routed via the internet. You should be able to access past iTunes store purchases (where applicable) and your iTunes Match account via any Wi-Fi point that connects you to the internet directly from Apple's servers, however it might be that certain places restrict access to particular servers.

How can I get iTunes Music I bought into FCE in an editable form?

I've been making a teaser for a documentary (okay, it could be a mockumentary) about family events this summer. Trying to use Lux Aeterna (the Requiem for a Dream song that SOUNDS like a trailer...) and all I'm getting is a beep every eighth note. I did buy this piece. Does this have to do with the .m4p security encoding? Is there any way I can put it in there with regular sound? I want my video to correspond with the music. HELP ME PLEASE!

Hi(Bonjour)!
Read the iTune licence and you will understand that the music is copyrighted. You do not own the right to use it in final cut express (a professional app), but you can use it with iMovie (a consummer app).

I just bought a brand new iPhone 5s and a huge problem is that when i try to sync my music to my iPhone 5s, under the music tab it says that i can only access my music via iCloud. is there anyway to sync your music from your computer?????

The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.

HELP! I can't access the music on Ipod! Music's font is faded on Itunes??!

Here's the story,
I recently bought a Ipod Touch, so I gave my old Ipod nano (2nd generation) to my mom. She put the Ipod nano onto her own Itunes account, but only 170 songs show up on her library out of 300 from the Ipod nano. The other problem is that when the Ipod is connected to her Itunes account, she can't access the songs on the Ipod. All the playlists and songs from the Ipod are under the 'Device', you can see all of them, but the font of all the music is faded and when you double click a song, nothing happens. Whats wierd is that only selected songs are in the 'Library' (which can be accessed and played) and all the songs on the Ipod are under 'Devices' (but can NOT be accessed or played). How can she access the music??
Your advice is GREATLY appreciated!! Thank you.

Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to sync automatically with iTunes. If you want to play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos". The text will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes:

Can't access the music on my iPod, iTunes freezes up

Hello out there, I have a problem with my fifth generation 30 GB iPod video. It has worked like a dream until yesterday. I plugged my iPod into my computer (HP laptop running Windows Vista) and it showed up in iTunes as usual. I dragged three albums onto my iPod and it did the usual routine of updating. When it was done I clicked the eject symbol in the iTunes menu and waited for the battery to show on the iPod screen before disconnecting. I turned on the iPod to listen to these new tunes and now my iPod appears to be blank. Under artists, albums, songs, etc there are no longer any options.
Okay, I have the day off from work so I figure I'll just sync it back up and put all 30 gigs back on. I plug the iPod in, iTunes opens automatically, and then freezes. After unplugging the iPod itunes resumes working. I try this several more times, restart the computer, restart the iPod, etc and it keeps doing the same thing.
Frustrated (as this happened once before with a much older iPod several years ago) I headed over to these forums. From looking around I saw the five R's that are always suggested. After reseting, retrying, and restarting, the problem still persists: I can't access the music on my ipod, and itunes freezes.
I then updated to the newest version of itunes. This also did nothing to solve the problem. I want to attempt to restore my ipod, unfortunately this is not possible because I can't access the iPod options through itunes because it freezes as soon as the ipod is attached to the computer.
After reading several threads on these support forums I stumbled on this one: (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1480926&tstart=0) in which a user recommends downloading an alternative iPod manager. I followed the link in that thread and settled on a program called poddox, hoping I could just throw all my music back onto my iPod with it. So I again plugged in my ipod, waited for itunes to freeze, closed it as it was not responding, and opened podox. Podox reported that all of my music is still on the iPod (it says there is less than 200 megs of space available).
Unfortunately poddox won't work for me either. Upon attempting to use it to remove all the data on my ipod my computer crashed and restarted. This is strange because although itunes freezes when the ipod is plugged in, it still appears as a removable disk in windows.
I returned to the apple website and downloaded and older, seperate ipod updater software from 2006. I installed the software and it restarted my computer. When I ran the ipod updater I received a message informing me that this software was no longer supported and that if i wanted to update my ipod's software or restore it I should just do it through itunes v.7 or later. The program then quits, and I have no choice.
I'm about ready to pull my hair out here. What can I do? It seems like a real catch 22 in that I need to restore my ipod for itunes to recognize it but i can't restore it because itunes doesn't recognize it. From what I gather there is no way to restore it without using itunes, is this accurate? What can I do to either delete all the data on my pod and reload it, or make it appear again in my ipod's menu/interface? Any help you guys can give is greatly appreciated, I will be monitoring the responses to this thread in case anyone should need more information from me. Thanks again.

right, figured it out. had to put it in disk mode, then reconnect, then it was recognized, then i restored and put everything back onto it. hope this helps anyone else who has a similar problem

HT204406 Upgraded my phone to iphone 6 from iphone 4. My iTunes with all my music is on a computer that no longer works and can't access the music. Will iTunes Match allow me to get my music off of my iphone 4 and put it on my iphone 6?

Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

iPads are not susceptible to viruses. That is to say there is no known virus that can affect an iPad at this time.
Due to the way the Operating system is built, neither viruses nor Anti-viruses can actually work, which is why Kaspersky offers no version for iPads.
Basically as long as you keep the iPad updated, you should have no issues.
