I replaced my old computerwith a new one. How do I transfer my music purchases to my new computer?

I had an old Windows XP PC that I had my iTunes library on and I would purchase music through iTunes and it could be shared with my kids 2 iPods and our 2 iPads. I also have an older 30gig iPod Video that I would sync with my old desktop computer. I did iMatch and have everything stored on iCloud. I bought a windows 8 PC to replace the old desktop and thought that I could simply log into my Apple account with my new computer and essentially "download" my library onto the new computer. That is not working for me. I can see all the music listed in iTunes but the text is greyed out and I cannot play any of the music from my desktop. I deauthorized my old computer and as far as I can tell I authorized my new one. I cannot see my Purchases music folder on the new computer. On top of this, my son wiped everything off of his iPod Touch (4th gen) and I am trying to get the games and things I purchased from the App Store reinstalled on his iPod. Can anyone tell me what I need to do? HELP!!! LOL

Use the backup of the old computer and copy the iTunes files to the new one.
However, since you are writing here, you probably didn't have a backup, so check out this user provided support document https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

You should be storing everything on your computer. Just sync it to the iPhone of your choice from your computer.

I have an old Mac laptop that Apple no longer supports -- so, I can't download the latest version of iTunes. Also, I got a new iPhone that won't communicate with my old version of iTunes. How do I transfer my music from my laptop to my new phone?

Old version of iTunes on laptop won't transfer music to my new iPhone.

Your profile shows you are running Lion (10.7.5). If this is the case, you certainly can sync with a new iPhone. If you are not running Lion, you will need to upgrade to at least Snow Leopard (10.6.8). See below to purchase.

If you no longer have the old computer this will be very helpful and If you have other content - apps, books, movies, that you want to transfer to the iTunes library - you need to transfer your purchases from the iPod to the computer as well.
Take a look.

This works the same way whether you have a Mac or a PC.

I transferred data from my Macbook Pro to my Mac mini but it forced me to make a new user for my old data. How do I transfer my music, pics, and docs from the "old" user to the new user (so that I only have one user instead of 2?)

Unless you transfer the files from Setup Assistant, Migration Assistant creates a new user with the data.
To transfer the files to your first user, you have to log on this new user, and copy all your files to /Users/Shard folder. This is a folder where you can put the files you want to share between two or more users, and all users can read and write in it.
After copying the files, go to your first user, open /Users/Shared folder, and copy the files to your user folders. If you migrated applications, you must know that they are stored in a common folder (/Applications), so you don't have to transfer them. To open /Users/Shared folder, open Go menu (in the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type the folder

Im changing my PC to a new one, how can I transfer Adobe Creative Suit from my old PC to my new PC?

Im changing my PC to a new one, how can I transfer Adobe Creative Suit from my old PC to my new PC? I bought it online, so the serial is on my profile.

You need to install the software on the new machine the same way you installed it on the old machine. You are allowed to have two activated installations if you would like to retain the original installation as a backup. If not, then you should deactivate it (Help -> Deactivate in any program),
If you have a download link in your account online you can use that or you can download thru the page linked below...

How do I transfer my music from my old iPad to my new one?

How do I transfer my music from one iPad to my new one? Photos are easy my music is the pain. iTunes won't
See my music. I dislike putting a ton of CDs all over again when I did it once. I would like to empty
My old one to give it to is relative and I need my songs.

I'm sorry but I still do not understand what you are saying.
The songs are playable in the music app, so there's no problem there. You didn't download the songs using iTunes on the iPad, you synced the songs from iTunes - that is the way I read your statement.
iTunes on the iPad doesn't see the songs? This is what doesn't make sense to me. Why would iTunes need to see the songs. The songs are in the music app. There is no need for iTunes to see the songs. You imported the songs from CD into iTunes - correct? The songs are in your iTunes library on the computer. Once again, there is no need for iTunes on the iPad to see the songs.
Are you talking about iTunes Match? If not, why does iTunes need to see the songs? The songs are in the Music app.

Transfering music from an old ipod to new computer

I have the guide that was provided on the site on how to transfer music from an older iPod that contains the high capacity drive. My only problem is that I dont have the old computer that is synced to this ipod.
basically I found this old ipod of mine from 4 years ago and it has a bunch of my old music on it. My old computer crashed and will no longer turn on so we got rid of it and bought a new one. My wife and I since then have both bought the new iphones and have created a whole new itunes libary. I figured all of these old songs were lost until last night when i found this ipod with all the music still on it. I want to put it on my new computer but when I plug it in and open itunes it say's it will erase my old songs and replace with my new ones.
Can I transfer this music any way onto my new computer?

Either buy a 3rd-party ipod manager program, start your research here on page 3

Or go back to page 1 of the iLounge article and do it the hard way.

Old Computer crash. How can I transfer my music from Ipod to new Computer?

Lightning struck my old computer, how can I transfer my music from the Ipod to the new computer (Windows XP) Itunes library?

You don't need to buy anything from the spammers that infect these forums. There are plenty of free options.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
