How do I get my library back after a PC re-build

Had problems with my profile so had to re-build my machine. I now have nothing in my Purchased list. Is it possible to get the library back?

This is one of the many reasons that always maintaining a backup copy is basic.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to do so ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:
File>Transfer Purchases
When you buy from itunes you get one download only. it is your responsibility to backup your music, and all other info/data/pics/docs/etc.

How do i get my library back after setting up seperate users in vista

Hello all. After much frustration, I have decided to turn to my piers for help. (I tried to go thru apple support but they wanted to charge me) I have three devices that sync to my computer - my iphone, and two itouch's that belong to my daughers. I decided that it would be a great idea to set up seperate user accounts on my computer so that our information wouldn't get messed up i.e. my contacts and calendar appointments end up on my daughers ipod. (The one ipod was mine that i gave my daughter when i got my iphone so it was still trying to sync with my stuff even though i erased it and synced to her library. whole other story.) They have each had their own library that we switch when we sync. When i set up the seperate user accounts their libraries disappeared! I have tried moving the .itl file and the .xml file to the public folder (and many other locations) and changing itunes media location in itunes but i get nothing. When i try to just click and open those files, they come up empty. where did it all go? Could it be because this is a first generation itouch running iOS 3.1.3? I have not tried my other daughters new ipod because she would freak if i messed up all her stuff. I have not been able to sync their devices since I created the seperate user accounts because I'm afraid they will lose everything. I apologize because i know just enough to be dangerous and i hope i have not messed things up totally. Is there any hope that i will be able to retrieve their libraries - wherever they went? thank you in advance for you help and patience.

How do I get my library back after resetting my computer?

Our computer crashed and we had to reset it. We were able to make a backup of the hard drive first, but now when I install iTunes, I first get a message about a duplicate file. It does not specify which file is the duplicate file. Then, when I plug in my iPod, it tells me it is synced to another library and I have to authorize this computer. When I try to do that, I get other error messages. Is there a way to retrieve the library I have backed-up on my computer? Some of the songs I have exist only on my iPod right now, unless I can retrieve that library.

Do you have copies of them in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync them back to your phone? If you haven't then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload

You will have to restore the device from a backup on icloud. (this assumes you have backups turned on in settings>icloud)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

How can I get my texts back after an IOS update?

Hi Clembo60,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your text messages are missing after an update on your iPhone. If you have a backup of your device on either iTunes or iCloud, you can restore from that backup and bring your information back. Please review the attached article, which covers how to back up and restore from backups, for more information.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
Best regards,

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you don't have such a device there are links in the article that will show how to recover your purchases.
In addition, the laptop may have drowned but the hard drive is probably fine. You should be able to find someone who can extract the drive from the laptop and recover your personal data from it.

How do I get my calculator back after installing the new iO7 software?

I'll assume alot here,?but my guess is you installed the new playforsure firmware for the player. If that is the case then you will need the playforsure plug in for the Creative MediaSource Organizer. You can download it on this creative's site under downloads.

How do I get my Purchases back after my computer got wiped, Can I re-download them for free? and how?

You buy one and only one download of music/vids/tv shows/movies. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
