How to access already bought music from a new computer.
My work computer got attacked by a virus and I lost almost all my data. Now I have my new computer and I am trying to find out if there is a way to find all the music that I already bought from itunes and download it to my new library. I will appreciate any help. Thanks
Windows XP
If you have no back up of your purchases you can't simply download replacements. The policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased 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."
You could try contacting the iTunes Music 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 any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

I have signed into a new account on my itunes on my windows computer. How do I get the music from the new account to be displayed in my library if only the old account's music is showing up?
You can transfer the music purchased from iTunes Store to the computer but not music acquired somewhere else.
Syncing is one way street, computer to iPhone. You have to use 3rd party tool to transfer music not from iTunes Store to the computer. -

If you only copy your Files you will lose your favorites. The best Way to copy your Library to the New Computer is to Export your libery (you can find the Export in the menue). This will copy your Wohle Library on cd. If you Out in These cd's in your new Computer iTunes will copy it with all informations.
While that may work, it is extremely time consuming and unnecessary.
Copying the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer will keep the library intact. -
want to sync music from brand new computer as old one was damanged. says all my songs will be deleted. solution, please?
Do you have all of your content in that computer's iTunes library ? There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
And if you have music on your device that wasn't purchased from iTunes and you don't have a copy of it on your new computer's iTunes then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back (iTunes will only copy iTunes downloads back from a device) : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device -

Can i transfer music from my new computer to my ipod nano?
I have been happily using my new ipod nano for some months. I have just bought a new computer. I downloaded itunes for the new computer and started to add some new cds. Now i am connecting my nano to the new computer for the first time and am trying to get the new albums transfered to the nano. I am worried about loosing all the music from my old computer of course, so i selected the 'manage files manually' option. Well i haven't lost the old tunes yet but just can't figure out how to move the tunes manually (from the 'recently added' list) to my nano. Any ideas?
The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Find your iPod in the sidebar under DEVICES. Select the Recently Added playlist in the sidebar, to show the list of songs on the playlist to the right. Click-hold-drag the song you want to the iPod in the sidebar. You can select and drag multiple songs at the same time.
Alternately, you can select the song or songs on the playlist, right-click on the selection, select Add to Playlist from the menu, and choose your iPod as the target. -

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:
"Once a Product is purchased 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
