Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back as it was before the HD failure.

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

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

I tried to download a movie on my iPod touch but due to limited space, it did not download. Then, I checked my credit card online, and I found the money was already taken. How will I get it to download on another device with the same account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

Hi ford1003,
Create PDF cannot be installed as it is a SAAS. However, when i looked in to your account, i see only export PDF.
It can be used to export PDF to WORD, Excel,PPT.
Hope it helps.

Replaced hard drive on Mac, now I can't manually manage music on Itunes. Itunes prompted me to erase everything on Iphone.

I changed my mac hard drive, but when I plugged my Iphone in, Itunes will not let me manually manage my music anymore. It says the iphone can only be synced to one library at a time and I must delete everything on the Iphone to let me manage music. How can I find a workaround to this?

> Transfer your itunes library from your backup external disc.<
How do ya do that? I might give that a shot for a similar issue. (I'm trying to put iTunes music onto her iPhone 4S and have checked the 'manually manage' box, but when I click apply, I get the 'Erase & Sync' prompt ... and she's not willing to let me do that. So she's got no music on her iPhone. Don't have that problem when I go to add music on her iPad, though.)

My computer hard drive crashed and now i cant get my songs off my old ipod onto my mac. any suggestions?

I lost my bookmarks after transporting hard drive to another computer, but I didn't save them in a specific folder, so how do I get them back?

Our computer crashed almost two weeks ago so my dad took it to Best Buy to get it fixed, and they said that we were very close to the hard drive going out and losing everything. Luckily, they said that they could easily transfer all of our data into another computer, but that they would have to keep it over night.
So they did, and when I got it back I immediately went to Microsoft Word (after we installed it again, of course) to see if all of my documents were there. (I am a writer, so it's very important to me.) Only half were there, so my father took it back and they said only half transferred, but they could transfer it all, no problem, it just has to stay over night again. (They also installed iTunes, etc. for us so we wouldn't have to. It was very nice of them.)
When they gave it to my father, they said my bookmarks should be on there. Well, when we came home and hooked the computer up, the only book marks there were some from years ago, but not mine. I DIDN'T ever save my book marks to a specific file; I would just click the Bookmarks tab, hit Bookmark This Page, and then click Done, and it would appear at the bottom.
Well, my book marks are not there and I cannot find them any where; no site has helped and they are VERY important. My dad refuses to talk to the tech guys again, so I would REALLY appreciate help.
Thank you!!! :)
P.S. I've made my own folder now. ( It seemed like a good idea. :] )

TS1277 I bought a new computer and itunes request me to authorize the new computer. Howerver it is using an email address I have not had for over 4 years and will not accept my current authorization information. How do I get it to accept my new computer

After purchasing a new computer I downloaded itunes and signed in to my account. Everything was fine including my current email address. When I connected my iPod and it started to cink, I go a message that the computer had to be authorized our my music would be removed. When I clicked on the authorize button I got a sign in that had an email address I have not had in almost 3 years. When I put my current logon and password in itunes would not accept it. When I clicked help it offered to send help to my old email address which I have not way of accessing. How do I get my computer to accept my iPod if I cannot enter the current logon and password information?

We are having this same issue. We have over 200 songs that are now missing and only our most recent ones show up in our ITunes library. Fortunately we have one phone that still has all of our music still in tact. This phone is no longer one I will be using as I upgraded to the Iphone 6, and only the most recent purchased songs remain. The rest are no where to be found and the iTunes store shows that I would need to re-purchase. Not sure what to do as when I tried to sync my last phone, all the songs were gone.

Got a new computer- Can I sync new iTunes with my iPod?

We recently had to purchase a new computer, and unfortunately I was not able to transfer my iTunes data from the old computer to the new one. I just downloaded iTunes onto my new computer, though of course it does not have any of the old data. My iPod has everything I need on it. We were able to transfer all our MP3's to our Music folder, so the files that are uploaded to my iPod are on the new computer. Is there any way I can transfer the information from my iPod to the iTunes?

are you using an iPod Touch or a regular iPod (e.g. Classic) ?
if the latter, maybe this KB article helps.

Since replacing hard drive, "restore previous session" button doesn't work, can only do it through history tab. Also will not start up from task bar icon.

Hi, been using Firefox for some years, had to replace hard drive recently and re loaded Firefox. Since then, the restore previous session button doesn't work, but I can do it from the History tab. Also Firefox itself won't start from the task bar or desktop, only the start menu.

Replaced hard drive - now Intel Rapid Storage Tech screen comes up first?

A couple of weeks ago I replaced the hard drive in my Pavilion dm4-3090se laptop with a 240GB Samsung SSD (the laptop came with a 500GB hybrid hard drive that is now my backup).
Everything runs fine, except when I first turn it in I get the screen shown in the picture below and it takes a good 5 or 6 seconds before it closes it and opens Windows. How can I make this screen go away?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Are you running Windows 7 or Windows 8? I see you still have the 32 gig mSATA acceleration cache drive installed and it has the Intel Rapid Storage acceleration partition on it, just disabled. Can you find the Intel Rapid Storage control panel and reformat the 32 gig accelerator drive? It will look something like this:
I can also suggest just physically removing the 32 gig acceleration disk drive. You don't really need it any more. You can't acclerate an SSD and would not need to do that anyway since having a main SSD is even faster than having the accelerator. See page 44 of the Manual:

My computer's hard drive crashed and now that its fixed I want to download previously purchased songs from Itunes

My computer's hard drive crashed and now that its fixed (my computer) I want to download previously purchased songs from Itunes. When I'm signed into Itunes and attempt to download from the cloud a text box pops up saying "I need to authorize the computer before I can download previous purchases". I'm using the same computer that I purchased all previous songs. So how do I authorize my computer?

On your Computer...
Open iTunes...
If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "
and from the Menu Bar select Store...
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
(In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.
