I can't find my playlists on my new computer

I got a new computer and bought some new songs for my Shuffle. When syncing it, I accidentally erased all my songs from the ipod except the new ones I had just bought. How can I bring up my playlists in my account that have all the songs I've already purchased earlier???

Hey there Mwahl16,
It sounds like you are wanting to get your accidentally erased playlists on your device back onto your iTunes library on your new computer. You can copy your original iTunes library over from your original computer with this article, and resync the content you want:

You can also download your previous purchases onto your iPod Touch directly with this article:

    iCloud does not store messages for you to see/access at icloud.com.  It does back up messages so you can restore your iPhone if it ever needs to be reset to factory default.  A backup is an image of all your data on the iPhone, and if you delete some messages, then they won't be part of any further backups.
    If two people use the same iCloud account, then their devices are kept in sync, just like a single user's multiple devices are kept in sync.  It's usually a good idea to have separate accounts for two people, since it's rarely the case that they want each phone to be an exact replica of the other.
    Your iphone syncs contacts, events, camera roll, and many other things without the use of a computer.

  • Can't find my music on a new computer

    I recently got a new computer and I am having trouble 'finding' my music. I keep my music on an external hard drive, and had no problem getting my playlists on my new computer, but whenever I try to play a song it keeps searching in my 'my music' folder on my C: drive, not on my external. In my 'properties' I did change my Itunes music folder location to the correct folder on my external harddrive, but this did not help. Each time I try to play a song it can't be found because Itunes is searching for 'my music' in my C: drive. Please help.

    Your music will only be here you put it.
    It does not magically apppear on a new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • HT204074 can't find previously downloaded movie on new computer

    Help! I had purchased RED 2 in a blu ray combo pack with Digital Copy. I downloaded the movie to my now dead computer, and it included iTunes Extras. I can only find the extras file in my new computer with my id. How do I get my previously purchased goods back?

    Whether you can redownload the film depends upon what country that you are in, whether the film is still in your country's store, and whether the studio allows redownloading. Does it show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If not, and if the film is still in your country's store, then is it hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?
    If you can't redownload it then you will need to copy it from your backup of your downloads/library that you should be keeping and maintaining.

  • I can't authorize my computer! I just changed computers and I can't access my old purchases because I can't find where to authorize my new computer!! I can deauthorize the other computers, which I just did, but it can't find anything else

    I can't find the "Authorize your computer" in the Itunes Store. I can't download my old purchases because it tells me I have to authorize the computer, but I can't find it anywhere!! I can enter my account and deauthorize the old computers, which I did, but nothing happens. I can't find the "Advanced" option anywhere either.

  • Can't find a playlist I created on my playlist or computer? I didn't delete it. I don't want to create it again because it took a long time. please help me find and recover.

    Can't find a playlist I created on my playlist or computer? I didn't delete it. I don't want to create it again because it took a long time. please help me find and recover.

    Playlists only exist as part of the larger iTunes library listing so if you are not seeing it there it doesn't exist anywhere else.  I know with my older version of iTunes it is very easy to accidentally delete a playlist.  With newer versions it may be possible to recover it with the undo feature in the menu but this likely will only work immediately after the deletion.

  • I can't find import playlist button on itunes 11

    i can't find import playlist button on itunes 11

    Found the answer for you today as I was looking for the answer myself.  If you go to the menu you will see a option to "Show menu bar".  Click this to get a few functions to show up.  Click on file and in the drop down menu you will find "Library".  Hover over that to get the import option to show up!  Hope this helps!

  • ITunes can't find my playlists after upgrading to 10.3. Help!

    iTunes automatically upgraded to 10.2.2. When it finished, none of my data was visible. No music or play lists.
    After checking the web, it was suggested up re-boot the computer. Didn't change anything.
    Another suggestion was to re-install iTunes. When I did so, it showed 10.3 available. So I downloaded and intalled that. Still no existing information showing.
    So I had iTunes search for my music. It found some/all of it. Haven't checked yet.
    But NO playlists. Is there a way to find them and load or am I just screwed by the upgrade and have to start over?
    Thanks for any help you might have on this.
    Thanks!

    I would recommend you put everything including th eiTune slibrary files into the iTunes folder on the external.
    This way, you will not have any issues when moving th eHD anywhere else. The entire library will be on it.
    Quit iTunes.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ from yoru internal to the external.
    Move your current iTunes media folder on the external into the /iTunes/ folder you just copied to the external.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    Now you can plug in the external to another/new computer and launch iTunes holding option as above and everything will be there.

  • HT5022 I'm trying to add a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    I'm trying to add my HP wireless printer as a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    Why would you need to ADD a new Client. Unless the APE sytem is completely different then any other Wireless router the printer should get an IP address from the router. That is IF the printer is setup to get an IP from the LAN DHCP server.
    Now you may want to make that IP it does get a Staticly assign IP address so it never changes, which will screw up printing if it does change. But i don't know if you can do that with APE routers.

  • I have transferred my itunes library to an external drive. I then attached the external disk to a new computer. I can now access all songs from the new computer. But I can't access playlists. I can still  access all songs and playlists on the old computer

    If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
    Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.
