Is it possible to recover songs from ITunes account?

My old computer was stolen, along with lots of iTunes songs I had purchased. I now have a new computer and was told that I could get all the songs I've purchased restored...how do I do that?

You should always have a backup for this very reason and many others.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:
File>Transfer Purchases
You only get one download. From the itunes store terms of service:
"PRODUCTS CAN ONLY BE DOWNLOADED ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM"
You can ask for a re-download, but they are not obliged to do this.

Is it possible to download songs from itunes directly on to usb as mp3

Is it possible to download songs from itunes direct to usb as mp3

If you are referring to the iTunes Store, then no, because all songs they sell are in AAC format. You can buy MP3s from other online stores, such as Amazon MP3.

HT1727 Is it possible to download songs from Itunes to my Droid device-Samsung Nexus. If so how?

Plug the device into the computer (windows based).
The computer should detect the device as an external drive.
Copy the files from the computer to the device.
Alternatively, Doubletwist is an application that will "sync" from the computer to the device, but personally I found it to be slow and unintuitive.

Is it possible to move songs from iTunes to garageband in garageband 2?

just a simple question...i was just wondering if you can transfer (import) songs from your iTunes library lists to garageband. If anyone knows the anser, i would also like to know how to do it, or if you can tell me where i can find the tutorial. Thanks1

Like your other post, ksoileau, you're dead on, however there are two exceptions. If the song was purchased from the iTunes Music store, they are copy protected and can not be imported. Also some people have had Mp3s that won't import (I've never run into one of these myself, so I can only guess that they are not sampled at the right rate or depth). If this is the case then the solution is documented in the GB FAW:

Is it possible to transfer songs from iTunes into anotther program?

My friends wants some songs from my iTunes library and copy them to his Zune program, but when we tried, the songs had a lock on them. Both programs are on the same computer and the computer is authorized to play the songs..any suggestion on what to do?

If these are tracks purchased from the iTunes Store, they cannot be played on a Zune, just as Zune tracks cannot be played in iTunes or on an iPod.

HT3965 When trying to sync songs from Itunes account to new Iphone 5s I lost everything on there...HELP

I just got an Iphone 5s. I plugged it into my computer to transfer all my songs from my Ipod Touch. When I did it erased everything on my phone...contacts, pictures, everything...Can this be undone????

This didn't happen by just by syncing your iPhone with iTunes.
The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone. This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
Sounds like you selected to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to your new iPhone. All data included with the backup is replaced by the backup for the device you chose to transfer to your iPhone, which includes contacts and photos/videos in the Camera Roll. Any music or apps that were downloaded with the iPhone can be redownloaded.
You manually entered all contacts on the iPhone, or are you accessing an email account on the iPhone that supports syncing contacts over the air?

How to authorize songs from ITunes account that no longer exists

I have 26 songs in my iTunes library that I cannot play on my iMac and cannot synch with my 2nd gen Nano because they are not authorized for this computer. These files were purchased under an account that no longer exists, on a Windows computer I no longer own. I've long ago forgotten the password for that account and the e-mail account associated with that itunes account no longer exists.
So, how do I authorize my current iMac (running OS X, iTunes 10) to play and synch these songs?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello coastiechris,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
About your only option at this point is to contact iTunes support on this one. If you cannot remember the password, there are no other options. Sorry.

Removing songs from itunes without removing them from ipod

Is it possible to remove songs from iTunes without removing them from iPod? When I attempt to delete songs from iTunes I get a warning that they'll be deleted from iPod as well. I've got Manually manage music and videos checked under Options in the Summary window.

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See these about backing up media.
How to back up your media in iTunes.
Buegie's complete back up strategy.
To move music from iPod to computer, 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 and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
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.

I have seen this page, but it seems that this involves deleting songs from my iTunes library in order to remove them from iTunes Match. I want to keep them in my iTunes library, but not in iTunes match (I am over my limit for songs in iTunes Match, and would like to decide which songs to keep in iTunes Match).

I have music on my phone which was previsouly on my itunes but I lost everything on my computer, is there anyway to get my music back onto iTunes? I did not purchase this music from iTunes.

The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backuip device.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Have you failed to do this?
If so, then you may be able to purchase a third party program ( not supported by Apple) to get the songs.

SeaPea,
Type this into the search box: transfer songs from iPod to iTunes and click on the link that says "Using your iPod as a hard disk". Scroll to the bottom of that article and you'll see a title that says "Copying music from your iPod to your computer". That's what you need.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The best option is to get an external harddrive for backup. Imagine if your iPod got stolen and your computer crashed. Or your iPod malfunctions when trying to recover music.

is there anyway i can get all my downloaded songs from itunes onto my ipad?

If you cannot powerup the phone, there would be no way to recover the photos from the device. Have you tried to just connect it to the computer? If the photos are that important, have you considered possibly a 3rd party repair to just fix the screen so you can access the device, or was there more broken than the screen?
