I recently had to get a new harddrive for my computer and lost my itunes. But i have a ipod touch and was wondering if i just download itunes again and sync it with my ipod would all my song and apps be transfered over?

I need to know if i just downloaded itunes to my new computer and synced it with my ipod touch if all me songs would transfer over?

No, they won't transfer over, however, there are third party PC/Mac programs which will transfer the content of your iPod to your computer. Just do a Google search on this topic and you will find them (e.g. senuti)

Is there a way to restore my itunes account since I had to get a new harddrive for the computer?

I had to get a new hard drive for the computer and could not transfer the itunes library. Is there a way to restore old library or upload the songs from the ipod nano?

You could use your external backup of your computer, but I'm guessing you do not have one, which is leading to my second guess, you have a PC and not a Mac.

How do I easily redownload all my purchased songs that I got on my computer but don't have any more because I recently had to get a new hardrive?

I recently had to get a new hardrive for my computer from the apple store when my hardrive failed. I wasn't able to back up all my purchased itunes items before my computer crashed. Therefore, I've been trying to redowload them all by just going through my past purchase history in itunes and press reodownload. But this is really tedious. Is there a faster way to get all the music back? It doesn't redownload it when I press check for dowloads because it thinks the songs are already on this computer because they once were....

I recently had to get a new windows computer, old one crashed. My tech guy got all my itunes library over to the new one, and all my songs are there. However, some won't play and ask me for the password for the apple id they were purchased under. 2 of these ids are obsolete and I have no access to those accts. The songs all played on my old computer without prompting me for a password.
Any ideas how I can get around this hassle and get them all to play? We're talking about 800 songs that are being obstinate. The new computer is authorized under my "new" Apple id, which I have used for years.

I have used PCs for years, and still do at work. But, last year my wife bought me a 15" MBP with the anti-glare screen (I was getting ready to buy for myself). It took me all of 1 week to completely get used to the UI for OS-X, and now I really prefer it over the Win7 UI. I have no experience with Win8. Here are my thoughts:
1) You can get a good computer using either a Win8 machine or a Mac.
2) You will pay less for an equivalent PC. But not as much less as some would have you believe. You need to take into account the all aluminum body of the Mac (vs most PCs being plastic) and the size of the display. And, don't forget that there is a lot of bundled SW on the Mac that you will actually find useful and would have to purchase for the PC.
3) You can probably do everything you need on the PC platform with the right SW (you probably already know this since you are using one already).
That said, I think some things are easier on the Mac. For example, GarageBand is a standard part of the Mac SW installation. I got up and running recording directly from my bass into a track with a song imported from iTunes on another track in a snap. I only had to purchase a Jam adapter ($99) for the bass so I could come in over USB instead of using the audio in port (which did work, by the way). You can do the same on a PC, but you have to purchase the SW from somewhere. And, it probably isn't cheap.
I use VMware Fusion to run those Win programs I already owned because it was much less expensive to buy Fusion than to replace them.
I would not return to a PC for my own use, given a choice. But, I would be very careful about getting my wife a Mac without careful thought as she is not as tolerant of learning new things as I am.
So, there you go.

TS2518 I recently had to get a new hard drive on my MacBook Pro because of a crash. I was able to restore to my latest backup, but now when I need to upload to an application like DropBox, iMovie, and such, it won't acknowledge Aperture. I have Lion OS.

I recently had my hard drive crash on my MacBook Pro (OS Lion 10.7.5). I was able to restore my new hard drive from my latest backup, but since then have been unable to access Aperture Library from another application. When I 'request' an upload --- like to Drop Box, iMovie, or anything --- and it drops down the window for you to choose which library you want to choose from, Aperture is not acknowledged. It will show my iPhoto Library and Photo Booth.
I can export from Aperture to Facebook and Flicker, but not from the other direction. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Brenda

Brenda,
Do you mean, the Media Browser is not showing the Aperture Library? What version of Aperture 3 do you have, and where is your Aperture library stored, on your system drive or an external drive?
For the Aperture Library to be visible in the Media Browser you need to have enabled the generation of previews in the Aperture "Previews" preferences. Do you have the option enabled "Share Previews with iLife and iWorks"? And have you the generation of previews enabled?
One other reason for Aperture not showing in the Media Browser could be a corrupted Aperture library. I suggest you try the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" and repair your Aperture Library. Start with reapairing permissions, then try the other options, if necessary. See:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Another reason may be a corrupted preferences file; remove your Aperture preferences from your User Library, see Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics, the paragraph on removing preferences.
Regards
Léonie

I got a new harddrive for my macbook and am trying to download mac os x 10.5 but nothing is happening when i put in the disk

When i put in the 10.5 disk to download, nothing happens. It recognizes that there is a disk in there but it doesn't do anything about it.
Do i need a different operating system or a new motherboard or what?

Do you mean you want to reinstall Leopard? If you want to boot from your Leopard DVD do this:
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The easiest thing to do would be to sign into your iTunes account on your computer, connect your phone and sync. iTunes should copy anything from your phone that isn't already in your library on the computer.

I recently had to install a new hard drive in my computer. This caused me to have to reload all content back to my iTunes and iPod. I have many apps on my iPod and i don't know how to transfer those back to my iTunes. Can anyone help?

Right clicking on your ipod in the device list an d choosing "transfer purchases" will copy apps and bought media from iTunes to your computer. Due to the new iTunes library on your new HD, iTunes will erase your ipod during the first sync. To save your data to the computer take a look at this article about saving data from your device to a computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Basically it's backing up manually, transferring her purchases (apps and bought music), letting iTunes erase the ipod due to the new iTunes library, and restoring from the manual backup again, to get all the data and settings back.
Make sure your new computer account is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
