I bought a new laptop and my itunes have not downloaded to the laptop.  How can I get my library back?

I bough a new laptop and my itunes have not dowloaded to the laptop.  How do I fix this?

Your library will only be on your new computer's iTunes if you copy it to it.
If you still have your old computer then you can copy it from that : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Or from your backup of your downloads/library (File > Add To Library).
If you don't have your old computer or a backup then you might (depending upon the country that you are in and if they music is still in your country's store) tbe able to redownload some/all of your past putchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your laptop's iTunes

  • I recently got a new iPad and when synching it to my laptop I accidently clicked to replace all of my new information with the old. I had iCloud on the new one and there were many notes saved in it. How can I get them back?

    Everthing was replaced including the information under iCloud under settings. My iPad now states that I do not have my iCloud account set up on my iPad as on the old one I did not.

    Go to Settings>iCloud and set up the iCloud account you were using before by singing in with the same Apple ID.  Then turn the data you were syncing with your iCloud account back to On, and if prompted, choose merge.

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

    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.

  • HT204053 I accidentally bought an 15GB iCloud service, and I want a refund of my money. How can I get my money back? I can't find the email adress to ask for it (I live in Chile. Apple doesnt have a Phone support for this area)

    Please, help me :)

    Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
    Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
    After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.

    Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you in. If you are using your computer's iTunes then does music show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (on your phone you might be able to redownload media via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app) ? If music shows there, but not that album, then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If you aren't in a country when you can redownload music and it's still on your phone then you should be able to copy it over from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

  • Updated to ios 5 and itunes 10.5 for my iphone and now i lost all apps and songs that i had downloaded in the past. how do i get everything back

    Updated to ios 5 and itunes 10.5 for my iphone and now i lost all apps and songs that i had downloaded in the past. how do i get everything back?

    in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.

  • I reinstalled my OS and now it wants to empty my phone.  How can I get it to back up my phone without removing the data?

    I reinstalled my OS and now it wants to empty my phone.  How can I get it to back up my phone without removing the data?

    You can't. But if you backed up your computer prior to wiping it out, you should be able to restore your iTunes library, contacts, photos, etc. from that backup. Once you do, you can set the phone up again and just sync everything from your library back to it.
    If you didn't back the computer up either, you can transfer items purchased on the phone into iTunes, and if you set up at least one contact in whatever application you sync your contacts to on the computer, it will offer to merge the address books on the first sync, saving those.  Any media you'd acquired from sources other than the iTunes store will have to be re-downloaded from the source or re-ripped.
    The iPhone is NOT a backup device.

  • Somone from China accessed my account and drained the money, how can i get my money back?

    Somone from China accessed my account and drained the money, how can i get my money back?

    That article only applies to previously purchased music, apps and books.
    Currently iTunes does not allow for re-downloading movies.  This may happen in the future with iCloud, but that remains to be seen.
    Your best bet is going to be to contact iTunes via email here:

  • HT5661 i bought a second hand phone and now can not hold of the seller,  how can i get the phone activated in my name now?

    Hi all,  I have bought a second hand iphone 5s and have found it is still activated to the last user... i can't get hold of them anymore,  how can i get the phone activated in my name?

    If iOs 7 is installed on that iPhone, you will not be able to activate it without
    the requested information. It is called Activation Lock and is a security
    feature built into iOS 7. There is no workaround.

  • HT202853 I have many project made in move HD that are not updating to the new iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    I have many projects made in imovie HD that are not updating to iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated on the article HT202853?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    According to:
    Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
    you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
    Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.

  • I have lost my iTunes library. How can I get my library back?

    My iTunes library was stored on an external hard drive. Given that the MTBF of these drives is probably measured in months, I realize this was a bad decision on my part; nonetheless, it happened. How to I get my library returned to me?

    ...nonetheless, it happened. How to I get my library returned to me?                                      
    What happened? The drive failed? If you do not have the music backed up some where else, and the drive cannot be accessed there isn't anything for you to do. You'll simply have to re-download what purchased music is available from iTunes and/or re-rip any CDs.
