How do I get music bought on an old damaged iPhone onto my new iPhone?

Hi Guys,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this...
I had an iPhone 3GS but my 3.5yr old dropped it into a pool of water about 2 months ago. When it was damaged it had about 12/15 songs I had bought on iTunes on the handset but never synched to my MacBook. I've just got a new iPhone 4 and I've synched it with my iTunes but none of the purchased tunes that hadn't been added to the computer have showed up... Question is... what do I do to get them back? Also, can I do this to get the apps bought on the handset but not synched back too?
Thanks,
Gus

You can re-download purchased Apps for free. Music, however, is a one time download and the music you downloaded on your phone should have been transferred to your computer & backed up with the rest of the content in your itunes library. Only itunes support could permit you to re-download your lost content without charge. The fact that you've waited two months dims your chances of getting this approved, but you never know...contact itunes support, plead your case & hope for the best:

How do I get my library off of my flash drive onto my new computer?

I just got a new computer today, so this morning I made sure to put everything that has to do with itunes on my flash drive so I could transfer my library onto the new computer. I have tried following many steps on how to move a library from an old computer to a new one, but so far I have only recovered purchased songs. I have plugged in my flash drive into the new PC and I can see the itunes library file, but when I click it, nothing happens. I hhave installed itunes on the new PC and like I said only some of my songs are in it. When I plug my ipod nano into my new PC, I get a message asking if i want to scan and fix my ipod. I have hit "continue scanning", but if I do hit scan and fix, will that erase all the songs on my ipod? I really can't have that happen, so I'm trying to be very cautious on what I do. Also, I have my ipod plugged in and in itunes I hit the arrow next to my ipod and it shows the drop down menu including my music. All of the songs that are in my old library and currently on my ipod are there, but they're all grayed out. I've tried copying the music folder to my ipod and it says I don't have enough space, but like I said, I am not going to erase all of the songs on my ipod. If someone could please help me out I'd really appreciate it! By the way I have Windows 7.

This is how you should have done it. I don't know if you still have the files to do it this way:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

How do I retrieve my iTunes library from a broken computer onto another computer?? I've clicked on home sharing and also authorized the new computer to my account but still nothing!

It would help if you would describe what a 'broken' computer is. Did a truck run over it? Does it just not turn on? etc.

My old laptop crashed, how do I get music and pictures from ipod touch (2nd generation) to new laptop?

My old laptop crashed. I bought a new one, but when I loaded itunes and plugged in my ipad 2, it only added the songs that were purchased in the itunes store. I upgraded my os to 5.0 and it deleted all of my songs, a lot of my apps, and all of my pictures except for the ones on the camera roll. I have these pictures and songs on my itouch 2nd generation but I can't get it to synch with the new computer. All of the solutions I have seen online don't work. I can't upgrade to the newest operating system because it is only 2nd generation. I tried turning on Home sharing and saving to the cloud, but I can't get it to work on the itouch. Please help!

How do i get my apps from my old ipod touch to my new ipod touch

my son had to get a new ipod touch because he shattered his screen. the person who helped us said that his ipod was backed up to my icloud so he will be able to transfer his stuff to his new ipod. when he got home and we went through the process it said to either register as a new ipod or go to icloud. we went to icloud and it said to hook up to your computer. WHen I did that all of my apps/music went to his ipod. We never backed up his original ipod on the computer. When I go to manage storage I see the back up that I need but don't know how to tranfer it to his new ipod. How do I do this?

Can I transfer music bought in the Irish itunes store onto my new computer even though my account is now registered to a UK credit card?

I am from Ireland and bought the majority of my itunes library in the Irish store before I moved to the UK. The account is still the same however the country in which I am using itunes store is now different (e.g. I was using the Irish store with an Irish card and now I'm using the Uk store with a British card). My old computer crashed erasing the library but I still have it all on my iPad. If I plug my iPad into my new computer and itunes asks me to transfer purchases, will the Irish songs transfer or will my library get erased and ill just be left with the 100 songs I have bought while living in the UK?

You'll need access to your brother's Apple ID account name and password to transfer his purchases from the iPod to your own iTunes library. Purchased made with one Apple ID are permanently tied to that Apple ID. You won't be able to move or add them to your own Apple ID account.

How do I get the data on my old hard drive onto the newly installed one?

Hi all,
Just got a new 160GB hard drive into my trusty 12" Powerbook G4. Now, what is the simplest and most effective way for me to load all my old data onto my new drive? I've heard of Carbon Copy Cloner and DejaVu, but no experience in these matters I'm afraid. I'm no hardware expert either I admit, and just got the drive swapped. I do have the old one (untouched) in a Firewire enclosure though... any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Peter

Peter:
If you swapped out the HDD yourself, you are doing pretty well. On top of that you have the old HDD in a Firewire enclosure. Great!
Next step is to format and erase the HDD.

I have Elements 6.0 on a an old machine which has now failed (motherboard issue). How do I re-install it from the old hard drive onto a new machine?

Can anyone help me to re-install elements 6? I have it sat on the hard drive of an old machine which has a motherboard failure. I have the serial no, and I have a hard drive caddy. What do I do?

Sorry I don’t know of any download links for PSE6. It may be worth thinking of upgrading to the latest version PSE13. It now has 64 bit support so you should see improved performance if your new machine has more than 4gb of memory (RAM)
The interface is different to PSE6 although most of the tools you are familiar with will work the same.
Why don’t you download the trial version from the link below and use it free for 30 days. If you are happy with it you can purchase from Adobe or any retailer or on-line store. No further installation is required; you simply enter your serial number to make the trial permanent. It’s a good way of ensuring a successful installation before making a commitment to purchase.

How can I combine the data from 3 old hard drives onto 1 newer hard drive and not duplicate the data?

Is there an app that will help me do this?

Finder. Create three partitions, then drag & drop each old HD onto a separate one. Alternatively, create three folders on the new HD and drag & drop each volume onto a separate one.

How do I get my photos from my old iphone 4 onto my new iphone 5c?

How do I get my photos from my old ipone 4 onto my new ipone 5c?

Do you still have the old iPhone? If so, one option would be to import the photos to a computer iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer and then sync them from the computer to the new phone iTunes: Syncing photos
That is a number of steps but one advantage of doing that is that you then have a copy on the computer where they are safe in the event of loss of the phone, hardware problem or other things that can happen to the phone.
The other option is by a backup and restore, assuming you still have the old phone or that you did a backup when you had it. A possible disadvantage is that the restore is complete -- i.e., it will overwrite anything you have already added to the new phone such as new photos. iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
A third option would be a 3rd party app installed on each the old and new phone; one example is http://www.photosync-app.com
