I got a new laptop and when I sync my itouch only purchased music where transferred to my iTunes

When I tried to sync only music purchased through Itunes was transferred. All the music from CDs where not!. I couldn't backed up my itouch because my old computer crashed. And now my itouch has only about 200 songs which is not even the same numbers of songs that i have in my purchased itunes.
There is one thing though! WHen I connect my itouch, and see the music folder, I can see all my songs. DOes that mean that they are not totally lost and that i can recover them? If so, how?
Pleaseeee I need help.

My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it. I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to my new iTunes account. It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one! Help!

My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it. I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to iTunes. It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one!
How can I get my new iTunes account to allow me to Sync my iTouch? The only option it gives me is to "transfer purchases" from my iTouch to iTunes, but that is only about 25% of my iTunes library-most of it is CDs I have uploaded. How can I Sync without losing all my music from my iTouch???
Also, I have lectures and photos, etc. on my iTouch that I don't want to lose.
I've tried a few of the iPod copy programs-the free ones and the ones you have to pay for, but I can't find one that will work for ALL my content on an iTouch.
Right now, I can't get anything from my iTouch to iTunes, and I can't update my iTouch with my new iTunes purchases, so I'm stuck! Help!

Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on?

I just got a new laptop, and when i went to go and buy something it asked me to verify my account because this was my first purchase on here. it asked me the security questions but i dont remember exactly what i put. Now my account is disabled. now what?

I just got a new laptop and when i went to go and buy something, it asked for some security question answers cause this was my first time buying on this computer. When i went to go type in the (so what I thought) correct answers, it said they were wrong. After numerous tries, it disabled my account. How do I get the answers sent to my email so i can start using my itunes again?

Go to item 12 in the AppleID FAQ for help with a disabled account.
You can also go to the AppleID support page and click manage your account for additional help.

You will need to connect both to your computer via your USB cord then launch iTunes. Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386

Hi I just got a new laptop and I wanted to move all of my music to it. When I looked up ways to do this Home Sharing seemed like the easiest step therefore I updated everything and did what I was told but it seems as if my PC won't see my desktop Mac.

Is there anything that I am doing wrong? I really just want to get all of my music off my Mac before I go back to school.

Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.

I have purchased actual ring tones, not songs or MP3s, RING TONES. They used to be on my Iphone but when I got a new laptop and downloaded new ITunes, they are showing up in Itunes in RINGTONES, but will not transfer to my iphone. They are checked. Help?

I have purchased actual ringtones from the ITunes store. They were working fine on my Iphone 3 before, but I got a new laptop and the new version of ITunes, and now even though they are listed as ring tones on my ITunes, they will not transfer to my Iphone. (Please do not tell me they are songs and not ring tones, they are definitely RING TONES!) Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.

Check your Adobe account online. If you registered the software when you first installed it then the serial number might be available there.

If you've never set them then are you able to log into your account via the 'manage your Apple ID' button/link on http://appleid.apple.com, click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of the page that you are taken to, and can you then set them on the right-hand side of that screen ?
If not then is there a reset link beneath the two questions that show on that screen ? The link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

I just got a new laptop and I got rid of my old one and iTunes won't transfer my apps on my iPod 4g how i get my apps to show on my laptop?

I just got a new laptop and my new one says i cant have my ipod synced to another account and it wants to erase all my apps

That is right. An iDevice can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. If you still have the computer just cpy/export yur iTunes libray to a USB stick or similar and import it ito the new computer. Also copy the iPod backup file to the new computer. That file is locaed here:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Transfer iTunes purhases to the new computer by:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Then let iTunes erase you iPod and restore the iPod from the backup and then sync.

I got a new laptop and when I sync my itouch only purchased music where transferred to my iTunes
