I bought new computer so had to reinstall itunes in new one, how can I recover my playlist

bought a new computer and had to reinstall Itunes in newone. So how do I recover my playlist I had?

It helps to post in the correct forum. This forum is for asking questions about how to use the forums in ASC. There are specific forums for iTunes For Mac and iTunes For Windows. Which platform do you use?
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

My pc was stolen and now i want to transfer the music from the ipod touch to the new computer, but sync only allows the other way. How can i do that? I need to back up the music!

there should be a back up on your friends computer of your phone when it was restored. If there is all you need to do is restore from that backup and your good to go, I just hope that you did not plug your phone into there computer 2 times.
The first thing you will need to do is turn of automatic sync and then you can plug your phone in and restore from the backup that should have been made

- Transfer iTuns purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup. That should also get you the update.
- If in the USA, you can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT2305 I have a new computer and had to install ITunes on it, but the site does not recognize my ipod.

I have a new PC and have to install the software so Apple will recognize my IPOD 4th generation and be able to sync it. I down loaded the software, but when I connect my IPOD it does name the IPOD and list the contents of it. What doe I need to do to make it work?

Installing iTunes on a computer does not magically install/move media or preferences to the new computer.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

I recently had to get a new laptop computer because my old one crashed. I am trying to sync my ipod to my new computer but it wants to erase my content. How do I recover my music not purchased through itunes?

I ran into this same problem earlier with my new iPod classic 160 gb. Turns out it could be your files show in iTunes but they aren't connected to the location those music tracks are actually located.
Does this make any sense?
You basically have to make sure iTunes is picking your songs from the right music folder via your preferences.
Option 1: If your iTunes is completely wiped blank and your music is stored in a safe place, backed up, etc. You can do the following:
Step A. Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder
**** please be sure to pick a location that is new or different from where you ACTUALLY stored your music to prevent your files from deleting itself as it updates****
For example, if you stored your music on your Desktop then you wouldn't choose your music folder to be the one in Desktop. You choose the folder where you want your music to go such as C:\My Music or in Mac, you choose the music folder.
Step B. Once you choose the folder where all your music is stored and you check the box that says "Keep iTunes Media Folder organized" and "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library."
Step C. This is the part that will make sense. Drag the folder on desktop that houses all your music into iTunes. Because you checked the box "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library," iTunes will copy all the backup music you dragged into the folder location you designated it in "Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder."
---- once all that is done, your itunes will have ALL your music tracks linked to the right location on your computer and your iPod will sync with as many or all of the music you desire.
Hope this helps.

New Computer Profile Created, Lost all My Previous Bookmarks! How can I restore my previous bookmarks from a past computer profile to my new profile? IE bookmarks were not erased, just my Firefox bookmarks.

I was having problems with my Windows 7 computer, and HP assisted me in creating a new profile, and then deleting my previous profile (I'm the only user on my laptop). Unfortunately, I did not save my Firefox bookmarks - didn't think to do this! So, I have lost all my bookmarks. Is there any way to retrieve my old bookmarks from my previous profile, and install them into my new profile? IE did not suffer this same fate - all my bookmarks (albeit different ones and not as extensive, unfortunately as FF bookmarks were) are still intact.

Oh no :/ Unfortunately, if you deleted the old profile without saving, my hopes are slim to none on this, but we can try!
Try to search your computer for the file "Bookmarks.html". You can see if it finds it from your old bookmarks. If that doesn't, try looking for "places.sqlite". If you already have Firefox set up with your new profile, you may find the new versions, so make sure you check the dates of the files that are found.
You can read [[Recovering important data from an old profile|Recovering important data from an old profile]], which has more tips.

HT1351 I got a new computer-pc desktop- and installed iTunes. Now I want to sync all the playlists on my established iPod to this new library, but it seems to want to erase my iPod and do the reverse!?

The computer is authorize, but I really don't want to have to recreate this playlists!

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Had to upload iTunes library fr backup, how do I upload iTouch playlist w/o

My iTunes library got corrupted and I had to restore it. Now I no longer have my playlists, etc. My question is how do I upload my playlists and other songs from my iTouch and iPod? When I connect them, iTunes tells me these devices can only connect to one library and they must be deleted. What do I do?? I have songs and playlists on these devices that I don't want deleted.
Help!??

Restore it(the instructions to do so depend on how it was backed up), and if needed, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose that library.
