I downloaded Itunes on a new computer but all my albums and apps are not there
Can anyone help me i got a new laptop and it is windows 8. I downloaded itunes but it does not have all my albums or apps and so i am afraid to back up my husband and my iphones or ipad. I can still do it on the old computer but would rather just be able to use 1 computer. I have authorised this computer and hone network sharing. Please help
To get your apps or your music on itunes you have to log in to your itunes account in itunes then, normally it will automatically find your music and applications...
You then need to sync them with your computer and I hope you will then have them on your computer.
Have fun

I have another computer that a virus may have taken over and I cannot log into it anymore. I just downloaded Itunes on a new computer but most of my songs are not on there. Is there a way to still access or find those songs? Remotely or another way? Or do I need to take it to a tech to get my files off of my hard drive?
Edit > Preferences > Store check Music under Automatic Downloads.
Open the iTunes Store from left hand column, then select Purchasedfrom the column on the right, click the Not In My Library button and select the tunes you want to download again.
That said, you seem to be under a misapprehension as to how iTunes works, or at least how it has worked in the past. It has, until recently, been up to you take care of your purchases once they have been downloaded. You had a one-time download which you were reminded to back up. With the recent change to this policy you can at least download your store purchases again, but having a personal backup of your iTunes store purchases, stuff purchased elsewhere and files ripped from your CDs will still be preferable to gathering all the stuff together again in the event of a disaster.
For a backup strategy see this User Tip.

my old laptop broke - i have downloaded itunes onto new pc but my library is blank, how do i access redownload my old itunes library?
If you do have your iTunes content stored in a backup somewhere, on your iPod, or the hard drive it was originally on is no longer available, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases again via iCloud using the instructions in this link.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For all other non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to rerip or redownload them from their original source.
For the future, consider making backups of your iTunes library or your entire PC.

Now that I moved my itunes to a new computer why will my iphone and ipod touch not sync?
I just switched my itunes to my new laptop from my desktop (which no longer works). Everything seemed to be ok after I updated to the newest version of itunes. Now I cannot get my iphone (3G) and my ipod touch to sync at all. In fact when I plugged in my ipod touch it erased everything I had on there. I know these are older devices but I had no problems with syncing previously so why now? Even the backups will not work.
You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. If you switch iTunes will erase the iPod and replaces the media with what is in the iTunes library of the new computer.
You should have done this:

You said "Even the backups will not work.". What happens when you try to restore from backup? -
every time i download itunes it says some of my registry keys are missing. i tried downloading again but same thing happens. what can i do to fix this.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

I have an Ipod that is about a year old which was connected to an old computer that has crashed. I just downloaded itunes on a new computer, hoping to download my music from my ipod, but it won't let me. Any ideas how to sync them?
Engadget has a guide for this.

I downloaded itunes on a new computer a while ago but was too afraid to syn. I did sync just now and lost 3.5 days of music, have checked my itunes music file and they arent there either. Im sure the music is all still on my old computer but it is broken and i cant access it. Are they all really gone forever?
Not without your old computer, no you can't. You could use Home Sharing to get content to your new one, but again, you would need access to the old one. My question is... before syncing to the new one... a message pops up warning you that syncing will erase the content from the iPod and replace it with the content in the new library. Did you ignore this warning?

Hi all,
I've just downloaded itunes onto a new computer, and I'm currently downloading previously owned music from the cloud. However, it keeps sticking on various songs - it will get part of the way through and just stop, this seems to happen to about 1 in 10 songs. How do I get round this?
Also, once I've finished dowloading from the cloud, how do I get my library to display only the songs I've downloaded, and not all the other ones that I don't want anymore?
Cheers, AlexOn the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing. It seems that only the songs downloaded on itunes in the last 6 - 9 months have transferred. How can I get the rest of it to sync?
You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You will probably get better help by posting in the Using iPhone forum.
