I downloaded itunes on my new computer and none of my music is showing up. What do I do?

I just bought a new computer, because my other one was stolen. I have downloaded Itunes and non of my music is showing up. What do I do?

You are supposed to copy your library, itunes folder and music files over in order for your new computer to show up your music. Since it's stolen, you can only redownload your past purchase from iTunes.
Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

Just got a new computer. The other is gone/broke. just downloaded itunes to the new computer and none of my songs are on there?

Just got a new computer. the old one is gone/broke. just downloaded itunes and all my songs are gone?

iTunes is just the program.
Your music is on the old computer, and whatever you used to back up your old computer, but if what you bought is still available from iTunes you can download it again.
Here is the procedure for your reference. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store:
Launch iTunes and click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
For music that you did not purchase from iTunes, import it into your existing iTunes Library using whatever means you originally used to obtain it.

I've just downloaded itunes on a new computer, and I'm downloading music from the cloud, but it seems to stick on certain songs and won't download them at all, stopping at a certain point. How do I get round this?

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, Alex

On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
The ipod is not a backup/storage device.

Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, which is available here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Then try following the steps in this Apple article to create an account without a credit card -> Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

Is there a way to change that?
You can easily set up the iPod to automatically sync to your current iTunes library (or just do a Restore), but that will replace the iPod's existing content with content from your current iTunes library (erasing the iPod). If your old computer was "retired" gracefully and you were able to transfer its complete iTunes user data to your new computer, there is no problem because all of the songs on the iPod now are already in your current iTunes library. However, if there are songs on the iPod that are not in your current iTunes library, those songs will be lost. That may be a problem...
If you want to preserve what is on the iPod, you can try setting the iPod to Manually manage music and videos. I believe you can do that from an iTunes library that is not the iPod's currently associated library. Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen. Check the box for Manually manage music and videos. (If iTunes puts up any warning about erasing or replacing the iPod's existing content, Revert the change and cancel out.) Click Apply. The iPod is no longer set to automatically sync. But you can add new content manually to what is already on the iPod. And the songs should not be grayed out.
However, you cannot use iTunes to transfer songs on the iPod to your current iTunes library (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). If there are songs on the iPod that are not in your computer's iTunes library, you should eventually "offload" those song files because your iPod can easily break, become corrupted, or get lost. iTunes syncs content in one direction only (from computer to iPod), but there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like iPod "transfer," you should get some links, including a CNET article on the topic.
Once all of your songs are "consolidated" in your current iTunes library, you can set up the iPod for automatic syncing to that library.

Can I download Itunes on a new computer and still keep the existing music on my nano

Hello, I have a Nano from 2007. The computer my Itunes was on is gone. Can I download Itunes on my new notebook, download music and still retain my existing music? Thank you

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

If i download itunes on a new computer and sync my music will it delete all the music i have on my phone right now?

i had to completely reset my computer and i still have music and apps and everything on my phone but how do i sync itunes with my phone without losing everything that is already on my phone?

Yes.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
Certainly you did not reset your ocmputer without making sure that your backup copy was up to date.

I downloaded itunes to a new computer and it wiped everything off my ipod touch???

I got a laptop because my tower computer was ruined except for my drivers. I installed itunes on the laptop and connected my ipod touch and it wiped everything off. I beleive the backup never finished before it erased everything. Is there any way to retrieve my music pics and such now that they are gone and do not even exist on the new laptop?????

I they are not on your new computer they are gone. If you can't get them from your old computer they are gone forever.
You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. When you change libriares/computer iTunes will erase you iPoa\d and replace its contents with what is in the iTunes library of the hew computer.
You can redownload app and maybe music. from Itunes. See:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

TS1368 Downloaded itunes to a new computer, and all it does is Say "accessing itunes store" and never gets any further

hi

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

I deactived all of my computers. i have downloaded itunes on my new computer. None of my library is there.

I sold my laptop. As instructed, I deactivated the account on that laptop. I now only have my desktop. I downloaded the current iTunes. Once loaded I logged in but none of my library is there. I attached my iPhone and iPad. It loaded the contents of the phone. It WILL NOT let me do anything with the iPad as it warnms me it's connected to another computer. I have no idea what to do?? Thank you in advance for anyone who helps.

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to purchase a third partyn program to get the rest ( not supported by Apple)
