Crap! Computer and iPod stolen, help!

OK - I think I won't like the answer. But I just have to ask before re-paying for my music again.
My laptop and iPod were stolen. I'm about to order a replacement iPod (Touch). And now, I'm thinking about my music library.
I stupidly didn't back up my music. I just reloaded iTunes and am forlorn to see an empty library. Is there any way that I can reimport the music I've already purchsed thru iTunes store? The iTunes purchase history screen is teasing me by listing all of the music I've purchased with the old iPod.
If I can reload/reimport/re-download music I've already purchased with my old 'puter, that would save me a boatload of cash. (And I figure that I'll just synch my incoming iPod to this 'puter and be good to go again).
Thanks in advance for everyone's help. (Or laughing AT me)

I think that may have to re-purchase the music but you may be able to get your insurance to cover this. I don't know your specific details so you would have to contact your insurer.

Computer and iPod Stolen

My computer and my iPod were stolen at the same time. I have reinstalled iTunes on my new computer and recently got a new iPod. I can't access any of the songs I originally bought on iTunes to download on my new iPod. Is this even possible? There is no backup of the original songs, but in the Purchase History it shows that I did make the purchases. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Bummer. Unless Apple gives you a regrant, they are gone. You can ask here but since they pay royalties on redownloads they might say no.

Going forward, I hope you make backups! Not only music, but digital photos and other files that are impossible to replace.

Computer and ipod crashed. not all music was backed up. please help!

Ok so both my computer and ipod crashed in the same week. I was able to fix my ipod but had to wipe all the music off of it. I lost all my itunes files on the computer and not all of my music was backed up. I know that's really bad, and I should back up all of my music but I got lazy. Which again is a bad thing! Sorry! But is there anyway to re-download purchases that I made? Someone please help me.

You can change the email address of one's appleID...
I'd recommend changing moms email to yours to get a good backup on the Mac
Then switch mom's back to hers
Then change your account to the same email you used.
I've done something similar when I needed to update my Apple account (one ID changing email addresses and phone)

If my computer and ipod were stolen how do I get back the music I have already purchased?

I purchased a new computer and ipod but can't retrieve any of my old music. If I try to go to the itunes store and click on the items I have already purchased it says "are you sure you want to purchase this again."

You only get one download.
Unless you are int the U.S, then you can use icloud beta. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

I reset my computer and ipod and it says that my ipod is syncing music but when I look on my ipod touch there is no music there.

I reset my computer and ipod and it says that my ipod is syncing music but when I look on my ipod touch there is no music there. How can i fix it? I have backed up and restored my ipod touch 4th gen several times.

This came from another thread, but worked for me. Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62. Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update). Reboot, and reinstall iTunes. It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano. Good luck.

All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.

I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
To make this your syncing computer:

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Ihave computer and ipod connected but they will not sync. How do I get them to sync?

I have my computer and ipod connected but they will not sync. How do I get them to sync.? I have done the previous action before but now I have a new ipod because my other ipod was stolen.

Actually this happened to me today and although it would not let me play the file it allowed me to use that same file i had exported from iphotos but could not play and then it allowed me to open it in imovie (you can go to import and then get it from the desktop or wherever) although I made a couple of changes to it the main thing is once you drag it into the space to begin a new project you can then right click and select open in finder and that file actually plays......if its cause i made some changes to it i.e trimmed it slightly then its worth doing so.
