OK, well, seems like you need to lose the attitude if you really want help.
There are several ways to get music from iTunes on your computer to your device.
The easiest is to sync directly with iTunes by connecting your device to your computer, selecting the device, setting up your Profile pages, and then clicking the Sync button to sync.
First you want to open iTunes and under Preferences>Devices, make sure that you are not syncing automatically:
Make sure that box is checked.
Then follow the instructions in the article below for either your computer or your Mac to set up your Profile pages and to sync your music via iTunes:
WINDOWS IOS SYNC ITUNES 11
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
You can also directly download music from iTunes to your device by going to the iTunes icon, going to "Purchased", and selecting the items that are not on your device that show a little cloud next to them. Click on the cloud and the music will download.
You might also want to familiarize yourself with your iPhone 5 manual. It has all the answers you cannot find on Google or by trying to just do it by brute force. If you would take a little time to read about your device and how to use it, you might not be so frustruated and unnecessarily snarky to people who are trying to help:

HT5114 How can a responsible eleven year old use an i-pod? I do not want to begin with the idea that it is okay to change the year of your birthday like "everyone else does". What can be done in an honest way?

How can a responsible eleven year old use an ipod? I do not want to 'follow the flow' as I have been instructed to do by other parents in order to obtain an apple id for her by changing her birth year. I believe in truth. I believe that even a 'little white lie' simply adds a burden in our childrens hearts and allows them to think it is okay. As I was told, "It is okay, how is Apple going to find out?" I do not want to travel that path. Her friends have ipods, our 9 year old cousin has an ipod....Help, Honest Mom in need of a solution.

She can use an iPod. She just can't have her own account in the iTunes Store. The restriction is on using the iTunes Store, not on using apps or playing content purchased from it. You just need to set up an iTunes Store account and buy items for her rather than having her do it on her own.

Old Computer is Dead and Bought new computer

Here's the deal. My old computer died, well is in the process of dying so I bought a new one. I followed the instructions and deauthorized the old one. Got the new iTunes on this one and authorized this computer,now my only authorized computer. Synced my old music onto this computer and bought some new songs. But for some odd reason those songs won't transfer to my iPod(nano) AND the new iTunes won't update my iPod either. It sees it and recognizes it, but won't send anything to it.
What is the deal? I'm getting frustrated in my endeavors.
Very Respectfully,
Me

any tips anyone?

HT4527 How do I do this if my old computer is dead and won't start

I recently switched from the blackberry to the iPhone 4S and would like to put my music from my iPod touch on the new phone. However the computer I was using is 7+ years old and has died. It won't even turn on. I have another laptop here that I keep trying to download iTunes on but it keeps coming up with a different account.... Help!!!

How to contact Adobe support to reset the key since my old computer is dead and cannot deactivate the key before installation

I cannot deactivate the key on a dead machine, how can I check with the support team (on key resetting)?

Oh I chatted and when she found out it was CS 5 this is what she said.......
Supriya Bhat: But the product for which you need help is no longer supported on chat
Supriya Bhat: so i will have to please guide you to forums.adobe.com
kevin starr: Unless the forums can help me with a SN# trouble it will be a waist of time
Supriya Bhat: Forums can help you with the issue
Supriya Bhat: surely
So it is a circle they send me here you send me there. I did find this.......
I cannot access my previous computer
Don't have access to your previous computer? Did you upgrade your computer's hardware, replace a hard drive, upgrade your operating system, or format your computer before deactivating your software? Ask Adobe Support to help you deactivate from a machine you cannot access.
Have your serial number or Adobe ID ready, and then contact us.
Now the "Contact us" part is the tricky thing. I am going on 5 hours trying.
HELP!

I had purchased CS5 in 2011, old computer is dead and need to re-upload all the programs from CS5.

I am trying to download all the programs that came with my original purchase of CS5. However all I seem to be able to get is Illustrator ?
No Flash, Dreamweaver, fireworks or others that I could swear were included as part of this CS package.help
Any help even if it is telling me I am an idiot and CS5 did not include all those programs. It was $500 at the time

Whatever you purchased in 2011 is what you will be able to download and install and activate. If you purchased a Creative Suite then you need to download the Creative Suite, not individual programs. If you don't know what you purchased, then it should be identified in your Adobe account online. Here is a link to the download files that are available for CS5:

How do I update I pad on a new computer without loosing data. Old computer got virus and it's got my I tunes account on it.

You simply sync the iPad to the new computer. It will tell you that it is already synced with another one though, and will give you the option to erase it or transfer its contents to the new one. An iPad can only be synced with one computer at a time.
Beware that only your iTunes and App Store purchases will sync. If your iTunes library contained music obtained from other sources, you have to find a way to transfer them directly from your sick computer to the new one.
I hope your new computer is a Mac, a replacement PC will eventually suffer the same fate.

How do I change the "home based" computer for my IPOD to a new laptop?

How do I change the "home based" computer for my IPOD to a new laptop? When I plug in y IPOD classic, I get a msg asking me to erase the IPOD. What I'd like to do is make the laptop my "home base" vs. my desktop. I have had no success when using icons from ITUNES.

You need to move the iTunes library from your home computer to your new laptop first. From there you'll be able to continue syncing your iPod as before. This iTunes support article covers the different methods available for moving your iTunes library from one PC to another.

I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?
Everytime I try to use the option sync manual it wants me to erase everything.
Please help

The iPhone can be synced to one and only one computer at a time. Before you "marry" it to your new computer, be sure your new computer contains all the old computer's information. When you sync the iPhone to a new computer, it will be erased first. Then, whatever is on your iTunes Library will be synced to the iPhone.
Read: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
You can also copy its previous backup from the old computer to the new one, then "restore from backup".
From iTunes: About iOS backups
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

Hi guys how do i de-authorise an old computer from a new one ?

hi guys how do i de-authorise an old computer from a new one ?
can anyone help
cheers marti

You should deauthorize the old computer through iTunes on that computer. You can't do it remotely. If you no longer have that old computer or it's not working, you can go into your iTunes Store account via iTunes on your new computer and there will be a "deauthorize all" button. You can then re-authorize the computers you're using now.
Note that you can only use the "deauthorize all" option once per year, unless something's changed very recently.

You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it. It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.
