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

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

I am using a T61 ThinkPad with an external hard drive and my itunes library keeps disapearing but remains on the external drive. Any idea how to fix this so my music doesn't disapear all the time? It's a real drag pulling music back into iTunes each week.

In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

How do i copy an ipod playlist into itunes- the songs are already in my library

how do i copy an ipod playlist into itunes- the songs are already in my library

I found out an easy way....
With iPod connected to iTunes, right click on the iPod playlist you want to export, choose the Export option on the menu that appears.
iTunes will prompt for a location and format to save the file. Save playlist as an XML file using whatever name and location you want (I saved as "songs.XML" to my desktop).
Then, in iTunes, go to File - Library - Import Playlist and selet the XML file. The playlist will be created in the iTunes library and will contain any tracks that are refereced in the original playlist that already exists in the library.
There may be a mesage, "Some of the songs in the (filename).XML were not imported because they could not be fund". This is because the songs you are importing have to already be in your iTunes library.
I just did this with my kid's iPod and it worked great. I found this tip on Apple Support Communities (discussions.apple.com/thread/2577582?start=0&tstart=0). It was posted by SpyglassSally and my original search question in Goole was was, "How do i copy a playlist from an iPod to iTunes".
Thanks for the responses and I hope this helps anyone else.

How to delete iphone music library

Hi there.
I have had itunes match since it was released, but have it currently turned off so I can clean up my library a bit.
I have IOS 6.1 on an iphone 5 connected to itunes 11.0.1
I wish to delete all of my iphone music library. That is: I wish to remove all songs off my iphone but keep all songs on my macbook pro itunes library
I have my settings to manage songs manually and up until today I could delete the whole iphone library when I wanted (select all>delete)
I can check the songs, none are greyed out. I can right click and delete/highlight and hit the delete key or highlight and edit>delete. However it doesn't go any further.
The songs stay where they are on my iphone, on the iphone library in itunes and there is no prompt question, asking if i wish to keep the file or throw it to trash etc.
I have searched but seem to only find answers here about deleting songs one by one on my iphone. i have 7000 songs i want deleted on here!
I am hoping someone an help.
Thankyou
side note: I am finding turning off itunes match on my iphone settings annoying. I can switch itunes match "off" but when I leave settings and go back in, match has turned itself back on....URGGHH

Yep I understand it is in the cloud, I used to be able to take the music off there though.
I have just tried another method, Settings>Music>Show All Music
and this seems to have helped. It has gone from 7000 songs to 2!
I still don't want them in my itunes iphone library when I connect my phone....Any help removing the songs so they aren't on the iphone library in itunes would be a massive help
Thanks for your help so far!

Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

Having issues with putting purchased music back into iTunes after reinstall

I have been having issues with iTunes closing itself out right after I open it. I deleted the program, then re-installed it, which fixed the problems with quitting. However, I cannot copy my previous library back into iTunes. I saved the iTunes music file and the .xml file to my desktop before uninstalling the program. When I tried to add the music back into iTunes, I keep getting this message: Attempting to copy the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. It does not appear on all songs that I tried to add back, but it happened for quite a few of my purchased songs. Is there any way to fix the files or do I need to download the songs again? I tried running the Disk Utility to repair Permissions, but that has not helped with anything.
I am running iTunes on a MacBook with Mac OS X 10. 4. 11, if that will help with anything.

I had to reinstall Windows XP, erasing everything on the hard disk. I had saved the music files with backup software, so I now have them back. But iTunes won't add them to my library. I tried importing songs from a new CD to see where iTunes put those files, and then copying an album folder into the same location. But Windows wouldn't copy the files inside the foder. Nearly all the songs were originally taken from CDs in my collection, and the songs are still on my iPod Nano.
Wow,
Wonder why XP won't let you copy files?, perhaps you used a different user name?
Or these are the old DRM versions of the songs? You should be able to log into your iTunes account and authorize the computer and iTunes should recognize the songs.
Well since you have the iPod Nano, you can head over to iLounge and ask them what current third party software works to move your iPod Nano music back to iTunes.
Hope that works out for you

Cant Drag Music files into iTunes

Hi there,
I have been using iTunes for ages with out any problems but from yesterday I have found that I cant drag music files from a folder (My Music etc)into iTunes library or straight to my iPod.
I can still use the "add file or folder" to library commands which work fine but I just cant drag files into iTunes like I used to. When I try I just get the circle with a line through it. The music files I am trying to drag are in the right format and I have even tried some files with are already on my iPod.
Also I use winamp as my default player. When I double click on any music files in a folder winamp will open but does not play the file. I can still select "play file" from winamp and browse for the track I want to play. That works fine.
So the same kind of thing is happening for both iTunes and winamp. I have searched for answers but still cant fix it. I have uninstalled and installed both iTunes and winamp. I remember having a problem like this before a long time ago but cant remember how to fix it.
Its driving me insane!

Are you just looking through the main library?
My videos never show up under the main library anymore.
They just show up under the movie or tv show headers.

In iTunes, under File in the menu bar, you'll find "Add to Library..." (or maybe "Import" or similar in older iTunes versions).
