Help! My old computer was stolen so now I have ipod/itunes trouble

My old ibook was stolen about a month ago, but luckily I had all of my Itunes songs on my ipod. I recently got a macbook, but I don't know how to transfer my songs from my ipod to my new computer. Is this even possible?? Thanks!!

Yes, it's totally possible to do what you want, you'll just need some software to help you.
See if this article from the iLounge doesn't help explain things for you: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/

My computer died and my ipod was stolen. Now I have an iphone 4 and want to access my library. How do I get it?

My computer died and my ipod was stolen. Now I have an iphone 4 and want to get to my library. Any ideas?

It will only be where you put it.
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.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can redownload some purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I want to recover keynotes I bought on iTunes (my old computer was stolen). Can I do this without paying for it again?

As long as you sign in to apple store with same id used for the original purchase and authorised your computer you will find that when you download the app it will be shown as free.
your account has a full history of your purchases so no problem as long as it was purchased from apple store

Computer was stolen--how to transfer from iPod to new computer

My computer was stolen and I want to transfer my iPod library to my new computer. I know how to transfer from one computer to another using an iPod but is there a way to do it when I don't have the computer that has my iTunes library?

There are a number of third party utilities you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection.
YamiPod
PodUtil
PodPlayer
iPodAgent
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive posted in this thread: iPod to iTunes
If your iPod was set for automatic update change it to manual update. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
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.
Another way is to connect your iPod and before it starts to sync, click the little X on the right hand side of the display beside the "Do Not Disconnect" message. The display is the little window to the right of the iTunes control buttons: iPod Interface
Or you could look at the method described in this link: How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
Go with whichever method you feel most comfortable. If at any point you are asked if you want to link your iPod to a new library, click No.

My old iPhone was stolen and now I'm wondering how to transfer songs I'd purchased on my old iPhone to my new one. My iTunes account recognizes the sons I've purchased and I can see them in my purchases history but I don't know how to access them. HELP!

So, when I plugged in my new iPhone to my computer, all my music, info, pictures, etc was uploaded from the last time I had synced my old iPhone that was stolen. I'm happy I didn't lose everything, but I also had purchased at least $30 in music on my old iPhone (NOT through the computer, just off my device) since that last sync. So my problem is, my iTunes account completely realizes I've purchased all that music but it is NO where in my purchased library on my computer or new iPhone (so the whole "just right-click and transfer you purchases" gimmick is a no-go). And when I go to the individual songs I'd bought to try and get them back, all it says is I've already bought the song but won't tell me the NO MAN'S LAND that these songs are hiding in!!
I've looked up a bunch of threads and am still unsuccessful. I know that I should be able to get these purchases back onto my new iPhone and my authorized computer but I just have no idea how. It is becoming increasingly frustrating and I realllly do not want to spend another $30 on stuff I've already bought so anything would be helpful at this point.
Thanks,
Olivia

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

My old computer was stolen, how do I get my ipod touch music on to itunes

I have had my computer stolen with all my music, both itunes purchased and taken from old cd's, but still had my iPod Classic with all music. Then got new laptop and transfered music from classic to new laptop. Great. Then my classic was stolen and my wife replaced it with a Touch. Transfered all music that would fit to my Touch. Still had all original music on laptop. Laptop stolen again. Now just have what is on Touch and have a new computer and want to put all the music from Touch to iTunes. Will only take iTunes purchases. How can I get all my music from Touch to iTunes?

Was your backup copy of your computer stolen as well.
If not, then use that to put everything back.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod touch. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You can buy software to extract the other music.

My computer was stolen and now my wife and i are sharing her laptop. we have separate apple ID accounts, i upgraded to iphone 4 since the robbery. all of her apps are on my phone and i can not get my apps or upgrade exisiting apps using my apple account

my wife and I are now sharing the same laptop, mine was stolen, we have separate apple ID accounts. i upgraded to iphone 4 after the robbery and activated my phone on her laptop. when i try to download or upgrade apps her apple ID keeps popping up. can we have separate accounts using the same laptop with different phones? if so, how can i fix this?

It sounds as if you're using the same Mac OS X login account on that computer. If you create a separate login account for yourself, it will be as if you have two computers (other than the fact you can't both use it at the same time, of course).
Go to System Preferences->Users & Groups to create a new user account for yourself. Log out of your wife's account, then log in to your own account. You can now set up this user environment any way you like. When you launch iTunes the first time, enter your Apple ID and log in to the iTunes Store. Redownload all of your content. Then connect your iPhone to the computer using the USB cable - it will treat it as a new phone, let iTunes wipe the phone and set it up as new.
You might then want to set up Fast User Switching within System Preferences->Users & Groups which will allow you and your wife to swap the laptop between the two of you easily without even having to log out one account in order to log in to the other.

My computer was stolen. Now have problems with the activation

My computer got stolen, so I set up an interim solution where I installed the Creative Suite. Now I have a new computer but I am getting activation error messages for the Creative Suite on it.
How can I deactivate the instance from my stolen computer? I would not like to deactivate the instance on te interim solution until all is working properly on my new one.
I have a police report about the theft.

Since you don't have access to the original computer you may have to contact Customer Support to deactivate and reactivate. See http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html

Can't use my purchased Adobe Elements:( old computer was stolen)

I bought a new Macbook Pro as my Macbook AIr was stolen. What can I do? I need it urgently.
JOe Kurta

This a user forum. Nothing can be done here.
You should be able to contack Adobe Support and get a roll back of the number of installs for each paid for license. You should have two.
If you have no record of the download, the serial number or anything else, you may be in for a purchase!
Good luck.

I had to replace my hard drive and memory on my laptop. Couldn't de-authorize because the computer was corrupted but now I have two authorized computers but it's the same laptop. How do I get my old iTunes library back?

Basically I want the library from my old memory drive, which was authorized on my "first" computer. If I de-authorize both computers (even if it's really the same laptop, different hard drive) can I get library from both? How does this work? Help!

The apps that you had will be listed in your purchase history if you login to your account in iTunes on your computer - the list isn't very user friendly though as it's listed by date order and will include all app updates that you've downloaded (so an app will appear multiple times if you've downloaded it's updates). You can re-download apps, though it's a manual process as you need to find them yourself in the app store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 .
If the apps are in your iTunes library then the restore might work - a backup contains app data/settings, but not the app itself, so without the app available to it the restore can't install the app and therefore it's content.

HT1766 My phone was stolen and now I have a new phone. Is it possible to get my music back from the icloud?

Is is possible to restore my music from the icloud to a new phone?

If it was purchased from the iTunes store, you can re-download it at no charge using the same ID you used to purchase it.

I just got an imac and i can't access my itunes. my old computer was a f***ing dell, ugh. can i do this or do I have to create a new apple account?

just got an imac and I cant access my itunes. old computer was a dell, do I have to create a new apple account?

Apple does not want you to have two iTunes accounts so perhaps it would be better to cancel the account you used with your Dell and launch a new account for your nice new iMac. If you cannotmake contact with the original details go to ...
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express lane followed by iTunes > iTunes store.
From there you could negotiate the cancellation process.
