If i have songs on another computer, how can i get the purchased songs on my new computer

I had Itunes on a computer of mine that will not turn on now, is there a way to get those purchased songs on my new computer?

Copy them from your backup copy of your computer.
If you failed to backup for some reason, transfer them from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
If you are in the U,S use the newly released icloud.

I have my ipod backed up on multiple computers but only one recognizes all my playlists. How can I get all my play lists to show up on multiple computers?

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to a different computer if your current one is out of commission. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it.

How can I get my bookmarks back on my new computer?

In short, I've got a list of links that used to be my bookmarks, but there is no file in which they're all together. How can I get all of them into Firefox at once?
Detailed version:
Before my laptop got replaced, I backed things up on an external hard drive, but it only backed up certain file types. I've retrieved things from my backup now, and the only things I've found from my bookmarks is a folder in the old "User" folder called "Favorites" and it has the list of all my old bookmarks from some previous export (not sure if that's from IE or Firefox, but I'd take either, because they were mostly synced up).

On home sharing, how can i share all of my music? It only shares the purchased songs from itunes.

I just got a new laptop, and need to share my itunes account from my previous laptop to this one.
Both laptops have updated Itunes accounts and are authorised and home shared.
However, on the new one it has only transferred across my Itunes store bought songs, not any of the other 800 songs from downloads or cds that i have put on.
How can i get these onto my laptop without using an external drive?
Thanks.

Unless you subscribe to itunes match, icloud has nothing to do with music. Are you syncing music from a computer's itunes to a device?

Broke my old computer, how can i get my old account on to new computer?

My old computer was destroyed before I could retrieve any information off of it. I was given a computer that already had itunes installed, but now I can't use this new computer as my primary account and cannot sync my ipod with this new computer without first dlelting all of my ipod information. How can I get this cuurent itunes account back to "virgin" and how can I make this my one-and-only syncable itunes account? Thank you so much for any help you can offer!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use this to put eveything back.

My old computer crashed, so I bought a new computer. How can I get my IPOD music in the new computer

my old computer crashed. I bought a new one. I installed Itunes, with a new account. I cannot get my music from my ipod touch to the new computer. It is all music I had downloaded from cd's I have purchased through the years. Every time I try to authorize the new computer, it wants a credit card number for the ITunes store. I don't want to buy more music now, I just want to be able to get my songs in my new computer. This is driving me crazy. any help, since the phone support is not available when I am. Thanks.

The music sync is one wa - copmputer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.

How can I get my old iPod onto my new computer without my old computer?

The hard drive on my old computer recently crashed and there was no way to recover anything from it. I was currently using iTunes 7 on that computer so everything was updated. I was using Windows XP on my old computer but I just bought a new one that has Vista. I have a lot of songs and pictures on my iPod and want to get them to my new computer. How can I do this if I don't have any computer authorized to my iPod without losing everything? Please help!

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more:
iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
CopyPodPhoto Windows only
Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
