Computer crash - iTouch to iTunes?

HP Windows vista computer crashed and i had to re-stage/restore to factory condition. I had backed up my iTunes library a month prior but made several purchases on iTunes in that month without backing them up. The music purchases are all on my iTouch but i cannot get them synced back into my new iTunes.
This has only happened with the music i purchased, the apps i had bought in that time synced just fine. Any solution to get songs back into iTunes? Or any way to burn songs on an iTouch to cd?
Thanks in advance!

  • My old computer crashed, I have Itunes on a WD passport drive. How do I put Itune on my new computer?

    My old computer crashed, I have itunes backedup on a WD passport drive. I found a music folder on that drive and move it to my desktop on a new computer runing windows 8. I downloaded Itunes software to the new computer. How do I put the the folder with my itunes music into Itunes?

    Restore the songs from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

  • Computer crashed, lost all itunes but they are still on IPOD- sync trouble

    My computer crashed and I lost everything including my itunes library- luckily all my music is on my ipod. I found the latest itunes and installed it and then found I had to register the computer for itunes which I did. There is an option to tranfer purchases (which I assume means transfer them from my ipod to my computer) but every time I try this the whole thing freezes. Also the computer appears to sometime have trouble recognising the ipod- when I try to access the USB through my computer is says there is no disk. It appears I can't put any new songs on until I sync the ipod- but my only options appear to be sync and erase and I will lose hundreds of dollars of music.

    Welcome to AD!
    Is your PC authorized for the itunes store? If so, when you connect your ipod, you should see a message about transferring purchases. Here is a screenshot of that message

    Clearly, you DO NOT want to push the "erase and sync" button!

  • HELP! computer crashed, now no itunes... will i lose my music in nano...

    ok this might be a really dumb question... but ill ask it anyways. my computer just crashed and all the programs got erased. i didnt get a chance to back up the music that is currently in my iPod nano (1st generation). if i download iTunes again and install the nano software will i lose all the music in my nano right now? or can i put the music from my nano into the new iTunes library after downloading it. im not very computer literate (i got the nano to run with) so a simple explanation would be fabulous!
    thanks

    "if i download iTunes again and install the nano software will i lose all the music in my nano right now
    If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all 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. In iTunes 7 check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    "can i put the music from my nano into the new iTunes library after downloading it"
    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of these here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    The transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    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 again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

    My computer crashed and I downloaded Itunes on a new computer and I'm trying to get new music and it says my Ipod is synced with another itunes library {my dead computer} and I can either erase and sync or transfer itunes purchases. Is there any way possible I dont have to erase my music? So frustrating.

    Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod

  • Computer crashes when installing itunes

    First I was having an issue where iTunes would quit every time I put a CD in (I tried with several CDs) I then tried to upgrade iTunes and halfway through the download my computer shut down. Then I started getting an error message every time I tried to open iTunes saying something like I have a corrupt version or that it was installed incorrectly. I have made several attempts and each time my computer shuts down at the same point in the download. I tried removing iTunes from my computer so I could reinstall it but it is saying that the item "PGS" is in use so I can't remove it. Any ideas?? I'm completely lost!
    I just learned that every time I try to install it I get a "kernel panic" and my computer crashes.

    Ok so the problem ended up being larger than I thought it was. My computer was crashing once a week for months and then it started crashing every time i tried reinstalling itunes.. I finally brought it to an apple store and they are replacing my hard drive :/ Fortunately I back up all my important files.

  • Computer crashed. Old itunes account lost. How do I...

    The old account was lost so I had to reinstall itunes and start a new account.
    To make a complicated question simple, is it possible to sync up my old ipod with a new account. I have all of my music, pictures, etc on this old ipod but nothing to sync it to.
    Thanks for any help provided.

    Okay, I actually found my old account. It was my wife's account and she was putting the username incorrectly.
    Still a problem, my ipod still won't sync up with the account. I'm not sure why, it's the same old ipod with the same old account.
    I think my backup was lost when my computer crashed. So the only music I have on the itunes account is what I bought directly from them.
    Any ideas on why this won't sync up?

  • Computer crash wiped out itunes music library

    My computer crashed and I lost my itunes music library on my hard drive. when I plug in my ipod to my computer I get a message that the music library on the ipod doesn't match my itunes library. How can I get my music library on my ipod back onto my computer so I don't lose all my stored music?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy of your computer ot put everything back.

    i tried searching for acticles, but all I found was how to transfer between computers by turning the ipod into a hard drive. unfortunately, i don't have an old computer to transfer from.

  • I lost my music when my old computer crashed and did itunes on my new computer and can get it back

    i lost my music when my old computer crashed and when i got my new computer it erased all my music from itunes and my iphone 4... Please help!!!

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • Computer Crash, Restore..iTunes is registered on 5 "different" computers!

    I need some serious help. My compter has crashed a few times and I've had to restore everything on my computer. Unfortunately now that my computer is actually working, my iTunes is not--Its registered the restores as being saved on 5 different computers, and I have no idea how to change this or fix it. I need as much help as humanly possible on how I can get into my iTunes music. If someone could just help!

    If your system crashes or you reinstall your operating system without deauthorising iTunes first, even a single computer can use up your limit of 5 authorisations. If you've reached your limit of 5 you have the option once a year to deauthorise them all in one go and start over again: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • HT1660 how can i find my itunes library on a new computer after my old computer crashed with my itunes library on it?

    I have a windows 7.

    It is on your old computer.  Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
    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, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio 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, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple recommends,  "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
    Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756
      Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.
      Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
      You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    If the above doesn't work, it is reported iTunes Support occasionally permitting a second download when asked nicely, but they are in no way obligated to do this. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column; third column click 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption' and proceed from there.
