Computer crashed. trying to play my itunes i reinstalled
My computer crashed and I had to wipe the whole thing out. I had backed my iTunes on a portable hard drive. I have updated everything I can. I moved my iTunes from my portable hard drive to iTunes. I see them there. When I click on a song to play I get this message. “Could not be used because the original file could not be found, would you like to locate it”. What do I need to do to be able to pay them?

computer crashed had to factory recover OS and can not play the 2 movies i purchased prior to computer crashing can not play and can not locate! How do I recover them?
You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma. -
I tried to play my iTunes and suddenly get an error message that says "The song (name) could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it now?" It happens on each tune I select and a "?" appears beside the song. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

I have an ipod and an Iphone 5. My computer crashed and I lost my itunes on my computer. Is there a way to link my devices to my computer to put my music back on my laptop.
If your music is all purchased from iTunes, you can log back in with the same Apple ID, authorize the computer and get your past purchases back. If not, then see this document put together by another user. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

My computer crashed and I lost my itunes library. How can I restore it from my iPod?
My computer crashed and I lost my itunes library. How can I transfer my music from my ipod back to my computer? (I did not back up my entire itunes library.)
Ipod syncing is not one way. You just have to know what to do...
I can see you use windows. Connect ipod to pc, but don't install or dont open itunes - dont alow itunes to sync automaticly). Then open explorer, enable hidden files, open your ipod (as you would any disc) open hidden file with strange names and copy all of them on your new hard drive. Then drag all this strange-named files in your itunes...woooo...now those strange names become your songs...it is magick
I you won't i can send you step by step guide...
Take care. -
Our computer crashed that we mainly used iTunes on for upgrades, new purchases, etc. We've downloaded iTunes onto my laptop but none of my apps are in the library. We've made this laptop an authorized computer, but it's still not working. Why is this?

lost some music and cannot find it on my computer. tried to repurchase from itunes store and won't let me stating that it was previously purchased, yet doesn't give an option to redownload. help anyone?
AlexCarey, I've been having issues purchasing recently and place a number of calls to the support team. On Oct. 5th, and on my own decision, I went into my itunes profile and re-entered my credit card expiration date and security code. (Notice, it is not displayed for safety measures.) Today, I received an email from Apple support verifying if I made changes made to my account. For the heck of it, I logged back into itunes; click "Buy". It's working again after three days of failure. However, diagnosis still displays "Secure link to itunes store failed". Very confusing state of affairs, lately. See my post on "Itunes dilemma"

My computer crashed, I recovered all my itunes files, I have them on a file on my new computer, How do I connect them to my newer version of itunes on my new computer?
Any music purchased through the iTunes store can be downloaded again for free as long as you are signed in with the Apple ID you used for the original purchase. Any other music you had in iTunes should be easily accessible in your system back up or from the CDs you ripped from originally.

Computer Crashed- trying to get songs onto new iTunes
My computer crashed a few weeks ago. I am trying to get the songs I purchased on my "old" computer that are now only on my iPod onto my "new" computer. I somehow was only able to transfer 3 songs that I had bought. I don't know how I could only transfer 3 and not the rest. Please help!
Were the songs all purchased from a single Store account or from more than one. If the songs were purchased under different accounts then you would need to authorise the computer for each one. Failing that there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists (including purchases) 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. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide -
