How to get my purchased music back on new computer

I just traded in my 3 month old, older version iMac intel, for the new one, not sure I got a good deal, but wanted it and it's another story heh..anyway, I backed up my music library on a DVD-R, but how do I get them into my library on the new computer? It's blank there when I hit the iTune icon. All I have is the U2 library, and they're on my iPod, but I'd still like them there. So what should I do?
Thanks!

  • Getting Already Purchased Music on a new computer?

    So my ipod was stolen and the computer that had my music is no longer working is there any way to get my Purchased music on my new computer or am i gonna have to rebuy it all. I have tried the Check for available Downloads option and it says everything has been downloaded but there is nothing in my folder can anyone offer any more help...

    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
    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

  • How do I access purchased music on my new computer?

    I recently got a new computer and want to transfer music I previously purchased and that is on my iPod to my iTunes music account. How do I access that music? Or how do I transfer music from my iPod to my iTunes account?

    If you don't have your computer backed up, then how are you also going to transfer your pictures, save email messages, video files, etc.
    iTunes purchases are no different.
    Unless you are going from Mac to Windows or from Windows to Mac, you can copy the entire iTunes folder in the music folder before launching iTunes, or overwriting the one it just made if you already have, and iTunes will go through a quick update of it's music library and you're done.
    If you have jumped between Windows and Mac, then just copy the music library folder within the iTunes folder to your new computer and have iTunes search and import it all.

  • How do i get my purchase music back on to my iphone

    In the iTunes App there is a tab called Purchased. You'll find your musics there.

  • HOw do I get my purchased music back after having to restore my Ipod touch

    I had to restore my Ipod touch because of a corrupted file. How do I get my purchased music back?

    The answer is that the iCloud advertising in Danish speaks of restoring apps, books and music and shows this, and in small print / gray print adds that in some countries this is not available. The Danish copy does not say that in Denmark the service is unavailable (suppose the English copy in US spelling showed the service, but did not say that the service was unavailable in the US).
    http://www.apple.com/dk/icloud/features/apps-books-backup.html
    Gendannelse, der ikke er et stort projekt.
    Når du indstiller en ny iOS-enhed eller skal gendanne oplysningerne på en, du allerede har, klarer iCloud-sikkerhedskopiering det tunge arbejde. Forbind enheden med Wi-Fi-netværket, og indtast din Apple-id og adgangskode. Dine personlige data – og musik, programmer og bøger købt fra iTunes – vises på enheden.2
    2. Sikkerhedskopiering af købt musik ikke tilgængelig i alle lande. Tidligere indkøb gendannes måske ikke, hvis de ikke længere findes i iTunes Store, App Store eller iBookstore.
    After another couple of hours of hunting around, a Knowledge Base article in Danish turns up which begins by saying that purchases from the App Store, the iBookstore and the iTunes Store are restorable, but in small print / gray print advises which countries the service in fact covers. Denmark is not covered.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539?viewlocale=da_DK
    I iTunes 10.3 3 og iOS 4.3.3 eller nyere (iOS 5 eller nyere til iPhone (CDMA-model)) kan du automatisk få overført køb fra App Store, iBookstore og iTunes Store til dine andre computere og enheder.
    Automatisk overførsel af musik og overførsel af tidligere købt musik er for tiden kun mulig i Argentina, Australien, Belgien, Bolivia, Brasilien, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cypern, Den Dominikanske Republik, Ecuador, El Salvador, Frankrig, Guatemala, Honduras, Irland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Slovakiet, Spanien, Schweiz, Storbritannien, Tjekkiet, Tyskland, USA og Venezuela.
    Naturally, the Danish copy should in both the advertising and in the additional information start by clarifying that music is not restorable for Danish customers. Instead, the Danish copy extolls a service that does not cover the iTunes Store in Denmark. The term for this in Danish is 'vildledende markedsføring' which is to say that the marketing is misleading.

  • I need help getting my purchased music back please

    I'm pretty sure i have somehow deleted a lot of music from my itunes and computer accidentally. I am only bothered about getting my purchased music back, most of which now has a grey exclamation mark next to it and says it cannot be located. I have the purchased music on my ipod, which it plays fine on and have tried to put it back on to my itunes by selecting transfer purchases although this only transferred 18 of my purchased songs. Unfortunately my external hard-drive doesn't work anymore and i haven't got the music backed up anywhere else.
    Being a student i can't afford to pay for it all again or take a 4 hour round trip to my closest apple store so i am hoping someone online could help me, thank you.

  • How to get my purchase history back?

    Hi,
    I suspect the merge between Nokia Dev and Ovi accounts to have deleted all my purchase history. The last 9th of september, I purchased Billboard for my N9. So, it was less than a year before, it should be still valid and I should still be able to download the app.
    How to get this purchase information back? Of course I kept the email this the purchase order.
    Thanks.

    @Farby: You're right. I marked it as solved because it seems a valid answer. But then I checked my purchase order and saw it is less than 12 months old. Of course, I should have checked before asking.
    @yasfer21: completely forgot the differences between the accounts, and the previous logins.
    So, my question still remains. Is there an email address I can contact to get my purchase back? Another way? Thanks.

    Hey CrystalKean,
    Thanks for the question. If you have purchased content on your iPhone that has not yet been transferred to your computer, see the following article:

    Alternatively, you can download previous purchases from the iTunes Store with the steps outlined in this article:

    my ipod touch got wet and now is broken - I purchased a new ipod touch and want to know how I get my purchased apps onto my new ipod touch

    To restore app data, the apps have to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore. The iPod ackup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
    To redownload iTunes purchases see:

  • If i have songs on another computer, how can i get the purchased songs on my new computer

    I had Itunes on a computer of mine that will not turn on now, is there a way to get those purchased songs on my new computer?

    Copy them from your backup copy of your computer.
    If you failed to backup for some reason, transfer them from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
    If you are in the U,S use the newly released icloud.

  • How could I transfer all purchased music to a new computer

    I need to transfer all purchased music to a new computer.. Can I download them again or sync to the new computer??

    Anything you want to transfer, just copy it to a USB flash drive or external hard drive, and from there to the new computer.
    If you want to keep your iTunes library intact, as far as playcounts, playlists, etc, a few extra steps are required. First, on the old machine, run Library > Consolidate. Then copy the entire iTunes folder to the external device, and from there to the new machine.

  • Getting already purchased music back

    I recently just got my laptop wiped from everything I had on it before. I wanted to get the previously purchased music back on it, I went to my iTunes account & was only able to get 3 songs back. Some of the music goes all the way back to '06. Has anyone dealt with this problem before & what can I do to get back my music??
    ~thanks~

    This has happened to me!!! And it is so scary and frustrating to think you may have lost your entire music library. BUT, I was delighted by my experience in working with iTunes support on this.
    I simply emailed: [email protected]
    I mentioned my situation that I had lost all of my purchases and hoped to recover at least some of them. A customer support member responded promptly with instructions and in my case there were so many songs lost (dating back to 2005!) that I simply gave him my account name and info and the next day EVERY SINGLE SONG I HAVE EVER PURCHASED was queued up to download as soon as I turned my iTunes on. Needless to say, I was speechless with their quality customer support and how personalized it was. No "automated" responses but direct responses-from a human!- to my questions and concerns.
    I would suggest emailing iTunes support at the email above to initiate the process. It was an amazing convenience for me.
    Cheers.
