How can I get my old itunes library back on a new computer when I lost my old computer

I had iTunes on my old computer and the programming was messed up and I lost my itunes. I now have a new computer and I want to restore all the music I previously bought, as it was quite a lot

If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer, you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

How can I get my entire itunes library onto my PC laptop?

I had an ipod touch, where I bought and stored most of my music. I only have a few songs on my PC laptop. Unfortunately my ipod has litterally fallen apart, to the point where it can't be used (pieces of the screen, wiring, and the outside have fallen off.) How can I get the entirety of the songs I have purchased using my apple id, including those that were on my ipod, onto my laptop? I have itunes 10.7 currently, but can install a newer version of itunes if need be. (As you may have noticed) I'm not a particurally tech savvy person, and I thank you greatly for your help.

How can I get my complete iTunes library list back?

I just downloaded a song from the iTunes Music Store. I don't know what I did, but now my screen only shows two recordings of the same song.
1. I want my library screen to show ALL of my songs, preferably in alphabetical order, if that is possible.
2. I want the songs to play in the order in which they are on the screen, if that is possible. How can I do this?

The browser is very useful to find stuff.
You can click in genre, Artist or Album and start to
type what you're looking for. Or click on a song and
start to type.
Also, the Search box in the upper right
I'm learning some little tricks, but the most important thing for me is to have All of the songs in one list. I now know how to do this when something happens to change this setting. Other than this, I admit that there are times that I want to see all of the songs asociated with one particular artist. I can now do that also. As to "genre" or "album," I have no interest. "Genre" seems to be a very subjective classification. I wish iTunes didn't have all of their unnecessary and subjective classifications. All I need are artists and songs, and I find them unnecesarily difficult to find in the iTunes Music Store, but that's another story.
As to the search feature, I knew about it, but it only works when you don't have your songs broken down into so many categories. One list, that's all I need. "Most popular," "top 25," etc. are unnecesary and unwanted complications.

How can I change my sky sports app from old iPad to new iPad

You can delete the app from your old iPad by tapping and holding on the app until it jiggles and displays an X. Then tap the X and confirm you want to delete the app.
If your new iPad is using the same Apple ID as your old iPad use the App Store app to download the app. As long as you are using the same Apple ID there will no charge for apps that have a fee.

How can I get an older iTunes U account enrolled in newer version of iTunes U?

My institution originally signed up for iTunes U in 2010, but due to various reasons, we never went live with our site. We are now ready to proceed, but we need to get enrolled in the newer version of iTunes U. I was directed to go to https://eduapp.apple.com and send a note saying that we wanted our older, private account enrolled in the newer version, but for whatever reason, I cannot log in, despite trying multiple computers and browers. I know my Apple ID and password are correct, as I just logged into this site with them. Is there anyone on here who can help me? The institution is Aiken Technical College.
Thanks,
Allyson Davis

Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
- Expod (free) - http://www.headlightsoft.com/expod/ - Mac, universal for 104.+ (newer machines try de-Tune)

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library?

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'. This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library? It doesn't sync either.

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
