How to retrieve songs in Itunes Purchase History and put back in my Library

I had an old computer that I was trying to update and it completely froze. Unable to save any programs, computer is now at the city dump. I bought a new computer and I am unable to rip the songs from my nano ipod and/or retrieve any of my music that I purchased. I have two nano ipods and one is now completely blank. I understand why and I am guarding the one that still has songs on it. I can see the songs in my Itunes purchase history. How can I get those songs downloaded back into my Library?

Hold shift and ctrl keys, WHILE HOLDING THEM connect the nano that is not blank to the PC. When iTUnes opens and list the nano let go of the keys. this stops an auto update.
In iTUnes goto edit>preferences>ipod and set it to "Manual Update" then goto the Advanced tab>general sub tab and make sure "Copy files added to the library to itunes music folder" is UNCHECKED then hit OK.
Now you can use third party programs like yamipod or podutil to copy all the songs back to the PC that are on the nano. Which program you use depends on if your itunes library is blank or not or if you want the playlist from your nano back on the PC. I'll walk you thru it when you post back on what you want

  • How do I take previous purchases in my purchase history and import them to my library?

    hello?

    All of your previous purchases should be on your computer and included in your backup copy of your computer.
    Not sure what you are asking.
    Your purchase history is just a list of your past purchases.

  • How do i take music from my Ipod and put back into my CPU.

    I lost some music files on my i tunes, but i still have all of these songs on my i pod. How do i take the music off my Ipod and put it back into my i tunes. I have a PC using windows XP. I lost a total of 1381 songs. I lost these song by trying to down load Music into a T-Moble SideKick 3. I was told by the sales rep that the Sidekick 3 was, I tunes friendly. Yeah right!!!!
    Bottom line is i just want to take what i have in my ipod and put it back into my PC. Can this be done? If so please help.

    I am in the same predicament. My computer crashed and windows was destroyed. Windows has been reinstalled and my files were retrieved and stored in a backup harddrive. I also lost itunes and have reinstalled it but I have no music in my library and can't find my complete library in my retrieved files. I need to find out how to restore my itunes library from my ipod as well. I don't want to lose all my music on the ipod if I sync with itunes that has an empty library.

  • HT1414 How do I get iOS6 off my iPhone and put back iOS5.1.1??

    On an iPhone4 that had iOS5.1.1 (and worked perfectly, by the way), I upgraded to iOS6 and that was when my iPhone 4 became just an iPod with short battery life.
    How can I dump iOS6 and get iOS5.1.1 back on my iPhone 4?!

    There is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS.
    Apple do not support downgrading.

  • How to remove system preference my desk top and put back in the dock

    How to get system perference back into Dock and off my main screen.

    System Preferences belongs in the Applications folder.
    Double click the hard drive icon. The Applications folder is right there. Drop the icon from the desktop into that folder. Then while that folder is still open, drag the System Preferences icon on to the left side of the dock, and drop it there.

  • Can I change over my purchase history and iTunes credit to my other Apple ID?

       I'm very confused about having to start another Apple ID due to the new update !  I would like to change over my current iTunes purchase history and store credit to my new account and retain my original organization avoid further aggravation.  Is there a way to due this?  AND, what's going on with the lag on this website?  It's been very slow for the passed several months.

    Due to the update I had to start a mobile me account just like everybody else did unless they had one before.  But now when I open iTunes on my iPod, I can't access my original ID which has my credit!

  • I have purchsed gem in clash of clan through my credit card but i didnt recieve the gems..it has also reflected in my bank account and my itunes purchase history...how can i get them back??who should i complain to??? plz help....

    You need to talk to clash of clans first. The game should have a support link.
    If they can't/won't help you then you turn to iTunes support.
    There seem to be a lot of issues with in app purchases in this game because not a day goes by that someone doesn't post a thread asking something similar.

    i can get it up on the screen but I cannot copy and paste it and it wont print (only as a blank) etc....
    how can I do it..I do not want to print out 10 emails instead of one full purchase history
    thanks!!!

    You should have received emailed receipts for each item that you bought from the store. If you haven't got them then all that you can do is take screenshots of your purchase history.

    Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
    1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
    2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
    3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
    4. sync your device
    5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
    Delmar,
    The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
    However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

  • TS1424 How do I get unauthorized iTunes purchases removed from my bank account?

    How do I get unauthorized itunes purchases removed from my bank account?

    You can always dispute the charges with your bank, if possible. With Apple, they typically stand by the phrase that all sales are final. However, if you go to the iTunes Store, then click on your email address (Apple ID) in the black nav bar, and click on "Account"... you will see a "Purchase History" section. Here, select "See All." If the order is still processing, it will be at the top. If it has completed (at the bottom), click on the arrow next to the order number you want to inquire about.  A new order page will open. Here you can click "Report a Problem" then click "Report a problem" (again) next to the item you want to dispute. Here you can chose your problem. You should likely use the "Other" category. It will be up to the customer service person on whether they grant you an exception to their normal rule that you can't get refunds.

  • How to download songs from ITunes Japan and France?

    How to download songs from ITunes Japan and France with a credit card and address based in the US? The system appears to not allow downloads in that fashion. Please let me know if you have any details

    This question is asked literally dozens of time a week in these forums, & I will answer, again. In order to purchase from any specific country's store, you will have to meet one of the following criteria:
    1) Have a credit card from that country with a billing address in that country.
    2) You may use an iTunes gift card purchased in that country, but the billing address rule still applies.
    This rules are mandated by the record companies not Apple. The record companies do not care for cross-border sales.
    As a new poster, just a suggestion, it might save you a little time if you use the "search" function in the upper right corner to see if your question has been asked previously. That way you don't have to wait on someone to come along to help you.

  • HT204088 How can i cancel an itune purchase?

    How can i cancel an itune purchase made by mistake?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Apple's policy on sales of digital content is that all sales are final. If however you wish to appeal to Apple, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
    Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will not be redirected to the report form, in this case use the report a problem option from the invoice that was emailed to you.

  • HT4009 How do you find purchase history and remaining balance?

    How do I find my daughters purchase history on here iPhone?

    Go to itunes --> on top nav, select app store --> Look for "purchased" on the right rail menu under APP STORE QUICK LINKS. That will take you to the "Purchased" page. You can search by "All" or by "Not on This Computer" (I looked something up on my comptuer... so I can also search what applications were downloaded from iPhone, another computer or iPad). The dates and prices of the apps are NOT listed there. Hope that helps.
