If you want to have your purchases on more than one computer you have to copy them from the computer they are purchased on. When you purchase something it is downloaded to the computer you are logged into at the time, purchases don't simply appear on every computer you choose to use. There are various methods to copy purchases between computers, CD-R, iPod, USB stick etc, you can read more at this link:
iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
If your old computer is no longer working and if you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Products may only be downloaded once; after being downloaded, they cannot be replaced if lost for any reason. Once a Product is purchased or rented (as applicable) and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage" iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support
If your iPod still has any of your purchases on it you'll find details in this article on how to transfer them to the computer: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

Tried to update ITunes, but keep getting error: Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". How do I get my ITunes back?

Tried to update ITunes, but keep getting error: Service "Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
So how do I get my ITunes back?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

TS3212 how do you get your itunes back if you uninstall in on your computer

how do you get your itunes back if you uninstall in on your computer

Does the book show in the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks for downloading, and the amount that's come off your card is the book's price, it's not a temporary store holding charge (which should disappear within a few days or so) ?
If it doesn't show in Purchased then you could check to see if it shows in your Purchaes history so that you can use the 'report a problem' link from it : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If doesn't show there or the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
For the card being declined, if it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support as above and see if they know why it's being declined.

If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > iTunes being set 'off' ?

How do i get my itunes back after transferring music to the itunes library?

After my computer had a virus, I still had all my songs, applications, and podcast on the iPod. The problem is that I wanted to transfer the songs to the itunes library, but only the songs that I purchased are left ( everything else is gone). How do I get them back?

It is impossible but if you have the CDs reload them on your computer. Purchased songs have to be repurchased

If you have all of your music on your iPod, you can transfer that way:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61131
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4717269&#4717269 (see post by Jeff Bryan)
If not, you can copy and paste your iTunes folder (as long as all of your music is in this folder).
Otherwise you need to move you current music folder to your new location:

I just replaced my ipod touch 2nd gen with another how can i get my itunes back

i just replaced my ipod touch 2nd gen with the same model and cant seem to get my iyunes back

Don't understand question, Changing iPod shouldn't affect iTunes on the computer you sync with. Plug in new iPod, it should take you through some screens of options asking how you want to setup the new iPod.
Just did this when going from 7+ year old iPod video to iPod Touch 5th gen.

TS3430 I tried all of this and nothing worked. How do I get my Itunes back and working again????

The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer
Many thanks. Rather than the Apple document, I currently recommend using the instructions from the following user tip with that one:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

How do I get MY iTunes back from the cloud

The iCloud ate all my iTunes and won't give them back. Yes, I can download once song at a time but why should even music I loaded from my css be hijacked by iCloud? Any solution for this? APPLE please find a way out of this dilemma.

My experience was this:
1) I had a collection of 3000 songs on my hard drive of my Windows computer.
2) I started a subscription to iTunes Match.
3) The Match service scanned my music collection, and as far as I can tell it uploaded a number of my songs to the service cloud. (based on the cloud status indication in the iTunes GUI)
4) But judging from the cloud icons none of the songs remained on my local hard drive. For each of the 3000 songs the cloud-with-down-arrow icon indicated that the songs were only in the cloud, not on my PC.
5) I had evidence that the songs were not deleted from my PC, because the size of the iTunes library was the same and in the Windows file system I could still see the song titles, but as far as the iTunes GUI was concerned all the songs were in the cloud and not in the hard drive.
6) When I tried to play the songs, there was a startup delay, as if the song was being streamed from the cloud and not being played locally.
7) When I tried to play the songs without a WiFi connection they would not play.
8) I had to painfully download all 3000 songs one by one to restore them to the original state.
I'm left with a very bad taste about iTunes Match. It's the worst experience I've had with any Apple product or service. I'm seriously considering jumping ship from iTunes to some other music service, and I've been a loyal iTunes customer since it's inception.
