HT203167 I purchased a new computor, because my old computor crashed and burned. when I resumed iTunes I used a new username and password. How do I retrieve my music libraries from my old iTunes account

Old computor crashed and burned. purchase new lenovo lap top with windows 7. got new itunes account. with new usename and password. how do I retrieve my old music libraries from my old itunes account.

Why did you start a new itunes account?  This will just cause problems.
Your library will only be where you put it.
It has alwasys been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good at all, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Hi - how do i transfer my music library from an old laptop to a new laptop??  BTW - i dont have the OLD laptop anymore - am i screwed??

    You cannot transfer anything from a device which you do not have, because you do not have it.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.

  • I lost my  password, how do i recover my back-up from my computer (itunes)s

    I lost my  password, how do i recover my back-up from my computer (itunes)?

    If you forgot the passcode for yur encrypted backup you are out of luch.  You will have to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod if you want to restore from backup in the future.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

  • Have a new computer - how do i move my music, etc from the old computer to the new one?

    I have a new computer and want to remove music from the old computer and move to the new one.  How do I do it?  I have an IPod mini. 

    Copy the /Home/Music/iTunes/ folder from the old computer to the new one. You can do this using an external hard drive or by connecting the two computers via Firewire cable (if both computers have Firewire ports) -Transferring files between two computers using FireWire - or using your local network via file sharing.

  • How can I retrieve back up's from my old Iphone and download them onto my PC?

    I have a couple old iphones with pictures saved on my icould but they are broken. How can I retrive my icould information and save it on my PC?

    When you say that you have pictures saved on iCloud from those old phones, do you mean that you backed them up to iCloud at some point? Were the photos taken on the phones? Did you have Photo Stream? Is it the same iCloud account as your new phone?
    Here's why I am asking - if they are on the same iCloud account and had Photo Stream, any chance you are still seeing the photos on Photo Stream on your new phone?
    If you are certain that the last backups to iCloud that you did with those phones contain the photos you want, you could always take the radical step of restoring a phone to one of those backups, importing the photos, then restoring that phone to the other backup, and importing those photos....
    Depends on how badly you want to get those photos....it would be a complicated process, and you would want to make sure that you had the device you were doing all of that on backed up as well, so you could ultimately restore it back to the way it was before you started messing around.....also, they would all need to be on the same iCloud account or you would have to then start messing around with the iCloud settings as well.
    But just wanted to let you know that there would be a way to do it....just not a very quick and easy way.

  • If I make a new iTunes account will I lose my app music etc from my old account

    If I make a new iTunes account will I lose my app music etc from my old account

    1. No.
    2. Not as long as you're still syncing it with the same iTunes library. If you meant iTunes libraries and not iTunes Store accounts to begin with, you need to use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

  • When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

    Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

  • How to move itunes music library from an old to new NAS?

    I'm moving to a larger LaCie NAS and need to move my existing iTunes music files from the old LaCie to the new LaCie. My iTunes library files are on my mini, but the music files are on the NAS.
    I have 2 questions:
    1. Since I'm making this move, can I move all my iTunes files to the NAS (the whole iTunes folder in my user folder - library file, apps, artwork, etc.)? Are there advantages / disadvantages to this (e.g. for sharing with other MACs in the house)? (Currently only my music files are on the NAS - everything else is on the mini.)
    2. What is the best way to make this move? I assume I could copy the files manually, I could use iTunes organize / consolidate functions to do this, or maybe there are other options. I'm not exactly sure how to do any of the options...
    Thank you!

    Sorry, I wasn't responding to you, just the original poster. I didn't look at the date on that posting and didn't realize that you'd added a post that wasn't quite the same problem. In future, you'll find you get better answers if you start your own thread. You're issue really is a bit more complicated.
    If iTunes currently recognizes all the music on both internal and the external drives, it should work. You have to make sure that both drives (old and new) are mounted. Make sure you have both "Keep iTunes music organized" (you probably already do) and "Copy files to iTunes..." (you probably don't) checked.
    If not all of the music is currently in your iTunes library, perform the procedure with the music that is a part of the library and add the other stuff afterwards.
    Best of luck.

  • How do i move only my library from a shared itunes account to my new account

    How do i transfer only my library from a shared itunes account to my new account

    I am confused by terminology, not knowing what you mean by "iTunes account".  You have a computer account which is your user area on a computer.  You have an Apple ID that you use to buy items from the iTunes Store.  You have a media collection which is an iTunes library.  So what is your "iTunes account" and what exactly do you want to do?
