I had to put my computer back to when I got it how do I get my itunes library back

I had to recover my computer back to when I bought it.   I  need to put my ITunes library of all the music I had back into my ITunes.
I downloaded ITunes again into my computer but I need what I had in it back.
How is this done?

Restore the songs from a backup, or reload them from the original source; for iTunes Store music, use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:

    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.
    For more information, see:

    For content not purchased from the iTunes Store, as John said you'll need to restore from your backups or get the content from whatever place you got it originally.

  • HT2291 I installed Itunes on mu laptop.I down;oaded some music. The hard drive on that computer crashed. How do i get my Itunes library from the other computer to put on my new computer?

    How do i get my Itunes library from my crashed hard drive to put on my new computer? The old computer had Windows Vista and the new computer has Windows 8.

    It will only be where you put it.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • My iTunes library has been replaced with my husband's iTunes library on our iMac. How do I get my iTunes library from my iPhone back onto my iTunes library on the iMac?

    My iTunes library has been replaced with my husband's iTunes library on our iMac. How do I get my iTunes library from my iPhone back onto my iTunes library on the iMac?  Help!!!

    Well, this is a problem, because the only material you can transfer from your iPhone (using only Apple software) is material you purchased in the iTunes Store.
    To do that, plug your iPhone into iTunes, then choose File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from iTunes' menu.
    Generally speaking, you should restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup.

    Extract the hard drive from the faulty computer and recover the library from it or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. (At least one link in there may be useful even if you don't have such a device.)

  • How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

    How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • HT1391 how do i get my itunes library off ipod to new computer?  only getting songs purchased not downloaded from cds etc.

    How do I get my itunes library off an ipod onto a new computer?  I am only getting songs purchased but not loaded from home cds etc.
    thanks,

    " I am only getting songs purchased but not loaded from home cds etc."
    That is correct.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  The ipod is not a backup device.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

    This method would lose ratings, play counts, playlists, date added, etc. and any device synced with the current library would see this as a "new" library and consequently iTunes would want to erase and reload all content.

  • HT1349 I had to get a new computer as my hard drive went and lost everything. How do I get my itunes library back?

    The easy way is from the backup you make of your computer so in case something happens you don't lose anything.
    You can download some media files purchased from Apple:
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    This will not reconstruct your library as it was.  It just puts the media back.  You will have to do playlists, ratings, etc.  If you have music from another source you will have to get it from there again.
