I have a problem adding my library to a new iTunes installation.

Some background:
Originality the library was on a desktop PC I used iTunes to move the library to an external hard drive as I had a laptop. That worked fine and I was able to uses the ext HD as a network drive an point to it from iTunes.
I had a problem with the laptop and had to reinstall windows and was unable to backup the library (which was fine as all the music was installed on the Ext HD) however after installing iTunes I cannot import the library, I was able to add all of the music, however when I connected my iPod it said that it was not a registered computer and would have to re-sync, this would be fine except I have quite a few Apps that I pad for and downloaded on the iPod and by re-syncing I will lose these, is there any way to get iTunes to import this library of get my Apps in to this library?
Thanks.

There should be an option to sync purchases from the iPod to iTunes.
See this -> Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
i cannot re-download them for free
Yes you can.
Click on Purchase and iTunes will tell you that you jhave already purchased then and ask if you want to redownload them (for free).

I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?

No, you should not. There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

- Do other devices successfully connct to the same network?
- Does the iPod successfully connect to other networks?
Try :
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- Resetting network settings: Setings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

How to get existing library imported to new itunes install, old library was not backed up or exported

How to get existing library imported to new itunes install, old library was not backed up or exported. This occured due to Win 7 user profile was corrupt.

I know that in Mac OS X one can pick which library to use by holding down the option key while starting iTunes. What's the Windows equivalent?
Press the Shift key.
WIll the fact that the music is now on another physical drive make a difference
No.
I know the previous install is at least 7.0, but I have no idea about which point release.
Try checking the content of the iTunes Music Library.xml file.
Finally, what's the expected behaviour (or required procedure) with respect to reauthorization of this computer to use the same ITMS-purchased files?
You will be asked to reauthorize the computer.

Hi
The report - is far above me and I would liked more description on what You did do.
• Video Codec used
• Audio file format
• ev. Photos used - in what file format
• free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk ?
but I made these thought to another question - may be any hint in it.
(or it makes no sence what so ever)
A. I never use Finalize as this only takes up lot's of Hard Disk space and takes long time to do for me - and the resulting DVD is non the better as I can see.
B. From iMovie'08 to 11 - I Share to Media Browser and as LARGE or MEDIUM - as sending HD or other resolution to iDVD gives loss in picture quality.
C. I NEVER - use Share to iDVD in any version of iMovie - as resulting DVD will not be as good as I want it
(D. I rarely use iMovie'08 to 11 - as this too costs in quality loss on the final DVD - Non of them can deliver 100% interlaced SD-Video to iDVD but discards every second line in the picture going from Event's to Project's and this can not be mended - I use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut as they can deliver 100%)
E. In iDVD I always Saves as a DiskImage and test this with DVD-player tool to see that all is OK (especially the sound). Then I use Disk Util tool to burn this Image to a DVD.
