How do i get music from my account onto my new pc? I think I need to deauthorise old accounts but I can't get onto my old computers?

Basically I just bought a new pc and I can't get my music that I've already payed for from my account onto this new computer. I've had this problem before but it was never resolved. I think I need to deauthorise my old computers but I don't understand how or why. Please help someone?

On itunes? OR externally? Because I did back them up on itunes and I think I do have an external backup, I just wanted to know whether it was possible for me to recover them from itunes as they still show up in my purchase history.
Only in the U.S.
This is one of the many reasons that always maintaining a backup is very important.
Use your backup copy to put everything back. 
Your purchase history is only a list of your purchases.  There are no files there.

    I am not able to download my excisting music from my account. What do I do to get me music on my new Shuffle?

    What do you mean by you can add music to your Shuffle from your account?  Is the music in your iTunes library?  Is it configured to sync to your Shuffle?

    You might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    For iTunes purchases File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then if you haven't got it on a backup drive and you don't still have your old computer with it (copying music between computers) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them off your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • HT5085 I ordered a TV series-I can see where the $$ was taken from our account but I can't find the series anywhere on my iTunes account??

    ordered a TV series…I can see where the $$ was taken from our account but I can't find the shows anywhere in our itunes account.

    Hello NMS1,
    It sounds like you are unable find these TV shows you purchased in a series, but you have been charged for them. I would start by checking to see if you can download them from your Purchases in the iTunes Store with this article:
    Download past purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    The steps are different if you are on an iOS device vs. a computer, so choose the appropriate section for the device you want to download them to.
    If you cannot find it in your Purchases, I would next reach out to the iTunes Store support team for additional assistance:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

    You can't transfer content from one account to another.

  • How do I transfer music from an iPod to a new computer, with an existing iTunes account that is not mine, or to an iPad??

    My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library and music. The music is however on my iPod 5th Generation. How do I move my music to my husbands computer, where he has his own music....or how do I transfer or add my music from my iPod to my iPad?
    I also lost all my gift card money on my iTunes account. Can I add my iTunes account to a computer that already has an iTunes account?

    I have read this, but it does not help. My crashed computer had my iTunes library with MY iTunes ID. The new computer and iPad that i want to transfer my music to, that is on my iPod, is under a different iTunes account. Can I still transfer my music from my iPod to a new computer that has a different ID?

  • How do I upload music from my iPod to my new computer's iTunes Library?

    To try to explain this simply;
    I recently purchased a new computer (Toshiba laptop),
    I have already uploaded some CD's to my Library and synced my iPod Touch to my Library,
    But when I connect my iPod Classic to my computer's iTunes tells me that my iPod is already synced to another Lirbrary and gives me the options of either to "Transfer Purchases" or " Sync and Erase",
    I've tried to "Transfer Purchases" but it seems to upload literally only iTunes store purchases but I want to upload ALL of the music from my iPod to my Library because I have purchased albulms from a (deleted) Rhapsody account and I also have Youtube converted songs (which basically makes up my entire Library),
    I also have uploaded files from my old computer with an external hard drive but I have absoulutly no idea how to find them,
    So! I need to upload my music from my iPod to my Library without deleting music from my existing Library or my iPod
    Please help! And please explain as well as you can, I get confused easily..

    The best way is to use the backup you made on the old computer and restore the iTunes folder to the new computer. No backup? The if the old computer is still working using an external device to copy the iTunes folder from the old computer and copy it to the new one.
    If neither of the above are doable, and you have a PC, use this:

  • How do I transfer music from my iphone to a new computer?

    how do I transfer music from my iPhone 4S to my new computer with windows 8 without deleting music off my phone?

    What should be done, is to copy your entire iTunes folder from
    your old computer to your new one, then open iTunes holding down
    the shift key.   You will get prompted to create new or open existing,
    select existing and navigate to the iTunes folder and select the
    "iTunes Library.itl" file.
    To find were the iTunes folder is:

    After doing this, you "should" be able to sync normally.
    If you never previously synced to iTunes, then it could be problematic.

  • HT1386 How do I sync music from my iPad to my new iPhone?

    How do I sync music, notes, calendar from my iPad to my new iPhone? Not having success with iCloud for some reason.

    You can sync content like music using iTunes as the vehicle in order to transfer content from one device to another. This support artcile might be helpful. You can sync and transfer purchases from the iPad and then sync the phone by setting up the sync preferences in iTunes for the phone.
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    You can also download the music to the phone from the purchased tab in iTunes - on the phone, but it goes much quicker of you sync the content from iTunes.
    If you want to sync notes, calendar entries using iCloud, and assuming that you have iCloud enabled on both devices, make sure that you turned these items on in the settings in Settings>iCloud>Calendars>On and the same for notes. You have to have an iCloud email account in order to sync this content unless you are syncing via your email account and that would have to be set up as well in Settings>Mail, contacts and calendars.
