Computer broke-want to redowload movies on another computer

My main computer quit. I have installed itunes on another computer and am able to download new shows to it--but I want to watch some of the shows that I had already downloaded to the computer that quit. Can I re-download those shows to this new computer? Do I need to do something to transfer them over? The old computer is not working at all now.
Thanks in advance.

Apple typically says that it is your responsibility to backup your purchased music. You can try calling them an asking them to let you redownload them.
Do you know if the old hard drive still works? You can taking it out and adding it to the new computer.

    Hello Mettefromswe,
    It sounds like you are trying to move your iTunes Library from one computer to another.  I recommend following the steps in the article below to transfer your library from your previous computer to your new computer:

  • We bought a movie from on computer and want to download it on another, which shares the same account.

    We bought a movie from on computer and want to download it on another, which shares the same account. How can we do this when the computer with the movie is not available?

    Have you tried reading the manual?

    Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

  • I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
    Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
    Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
    The network password will appear in the box.
    Quit Keychain Access.

  • Hyperlinks stop working when moving QT movie to another computer

    Hi.
    When setting objects as hyperlinks to other slides (Next, Previous, Frist slide) and copying the exported QuickTime movie to another computer, all hyperlinks stop working. Clicking a hyperlink will prompt a message on WindowsXP.
    The meaning of this is that Keynote presentations with hyperlinks cannot be distributed to other computers via QuickTime. This is very severe.
    Because of the special architecture of QuickTime, using the arrow keys to navigate back, forces the user to step-back build-by-build and only a hyperlink can do this in one step.
    I've researched discussion groups and websites and found no viable solution. The only solution offered was not to use slide transitions, but this negates the whole advantage over Powerpoint.
    can you suggest any solution? I would even consider opening the qt movie with a text editor to find and replace the hyperlinks, but to what?
    thanks
    Gaby

    Make sure the windows machine has the absolutely newest version of QT on it. There were bugs in QT for Windows, but the last version corrected this issue.

  • TS2972 How do I use home sharing to move a movie to another computer

    I am trying to move my digital copy of The hunger games to another computer through home sharing is this posssible?

    The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
    The longer answer:  Think of it like this...
    You download some music in iTunes.  With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network.  But the data itself is on your computer.  If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
    But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device.  Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple). 
    When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

  • Copy Rented movie to another computer

    I rented a movie on one computer with Itunes, but that computer was too slow. I tried copying the movie to a faster computer, but it will not let me play the movie. Is there any way to get this to work?

    Sync it to an iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV, and then use the Transfer Purchases option in iTunes
    The Sync and Transfer Purchases commands don't work with rented movies, Niel. There's a different procedure for moving rented movies between devices.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1390
    From what I've read it won't work to move a rented movie from one computer to another. Unless things have changed recently, the movie can only be moved to one of the player devices you mentioned and then back to the computer on which the movie was originally rented.
    Regards.

  • HT4463 i have aperture on one computer and want to download it onto another, how do I do this?

    I understand that if I buy apple software, I can load it on to other compters. I have loaded it onto my computer and want to load it onto my husbands computer...

    Different ways to do this. You could log into the MAS on that computer, and install it through your purchases list.

  • I bought a used iMac with cs6 already installed.  If I want to use cs6 on another computer, how would I load/install it (I can't seem to find any serial number)?

    sorry th title is so long.  Wondering if I can use cs6 on another computer besides my 2009 iMac.  Thanks.

    Transfer of software to another owner is usually handled by Adobe.
    So if you do not have a serial number its not yours to use.

  • Old computer broke, how do i move songs?

    my whole ipod library was on my old computer but then that broke. my sisters labtop already has itunes installed with a couple of songs purchased on it but no ipod library as she doesnt have one. how to i make the labtop the new database for my ipod? please help!

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
