My old computer crashed. I have purchased a new one and authorized it, but my music is not there. How do I get my music back?
Restore the songs from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

I have 2 ipods,one for music and the other for old time radio shows.Each had their own file.My computer crashed and I had to buy a new one.Now both ipod files are merged into one.How do I seperate them on the computer?
Hi Craig
Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps

my computer crashed and I had to re load my operation system. now, when I try to open my itunes all I get is a message that says "can not be read because itunes was created by a newer version" what does that mean and how do I correct it. I need my music back!
As iTunes is uopgraded the newer versions require that the iTunes database be upgraded to match. It sounds like you now have an older version of the sftware attempting to load an upgraded library which it can't do.
What version of OS X are you running?
What version of iTunes are you currently running?
What versions were you running when your system crashed?

My last computer crashed and it had all my songs and i got a new ipod how do i get those songs back
ok so my last computer crashed and it had all my songs and that day i got a new ipod how do i get those songs back thast i paid for?
If the songs are not on an iPod or a computer (didn't you have a backup of your computer files?) you are probably out of luck since you only get one download of music from the iTunes store and it is up to you to back them up. However, the Itunes store may allow a redownload if you explain what happened. Go to the following and select the appropriate topic to contact them.

My old windows computer crashed and I had to buy another one. I rescued my itunes file off of the old one and installed it on the new desktop. How do I get itunes to recognize it so that I can get all my old music (mostly burned CD's) to be recognized

My old computer crashed and I had to get a new one. I was unable to save anything from the old computer. Is there anyway to get my music from my Ipod to my new computer without having to start over with the old cd's again
Hello cheech07,
The following article contains directions that can help get you back on track with iTunes. I'd recommend picking up at 'Part 5' of the 'External drive' section.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.
If it's the same computer, same CPU and same HD, no de-activation or re-activation should be necessary.
Install from scratch and apply all updates manually.
Please do a forum search. I and others have repeatedly answered the question about failed updates of CS5 a whole bunch of times recently.
Bottom line: the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions. You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify. -
My computer crashed and I had to reinstall windows 7, how can I get the playlist on my iphone onto itunes?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchass from the ipod. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases -
so my computer crashed and i had lost all my itunes purchases and dont know how to get them back, so my computer crashed and i had lost all my itunes purchases and dont know how to get them back
You have a backup of your computer, or at the very least of your iTunes media, correct?
Simply copy your backup of your iTunes media into the iTunes library on your new computer.
Connecting and syncing your device to the new computer without first recovering your iTunes media is a really, really, really bad idea. iDevices are designed to ONLY sync with one computer. When you plug your device into a new computer, it will wipe all media on the device when it syncs. The only media you may be able to salvage and transfer to the new computer would be anything bought directly on the device.
If you do not have a backup of your iTunes media, then you will want to either look at a way (using software from a third party company) to either extract the media from you iDevice or your old computer (assuming the hard drive is not toast). -
My computer crashed and everything had to be reinstalled. I lost everything
My computer crashed and everything had to be reinstalled. I lost everything from the hard drive. I can access my website on-line, but when I go to iWeb none of my documents are there. I have tried dragging the site pages that are stored on iDisk, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am a teacher and use the site for my classes.
Thanks!richyrev,
You may not want to here this but if you lost the data on your computer and don't have a backup, there is no easy way to recreate your site.
I just got through explaining this to another user yesterday. You can find that thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1883561&tstart=60
In a nut shell iWeb uses a domain file to store all your site pages. This file is really just a special directory called a package in the Mac World. All your site info is stored in this package in a cryptic way that probably won't make a lot of sense to you. Once your site is rendered and put on your hosted site it is stored differently with basic web hierarchy for the files. The bottom line is iWeb can only deal with a domain package not the finished web files. If you don't have a copy of your domain package file then you will need to recreate your site using your files from your web site. But you will have to do it manually.
You didn't say specifically that you were using mobile me (.mac) but if you are then you can grab your old site off your idisk and use those to help guide you into recreating your site. But iWeb won't read those file for you. It doesn't read html files in, only out. You'll have to literally recreate each page using your old site as a guide.
There was a link on the other thread that gave a little more detail about this. I realize it's a painful lesson, but nothing beats taking the time to do a backup. I noticed (according to your sig) you are still running OS X 10.4 so you won't have time machine, but backup is a good program as well.
Good Luck,

My old computer crashed and I had several redeemed movies on it. Is there any way to get them on to my new computer?
Unless you have a backup copy or can use the drive from the old computer in an external enclosure, no.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; only apps, books (not audiobooks), music, and t.v. shows (not movies). Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases. -
My computer crashed and I had to reload Itunes my music is gone is there anyway to get it back?
My computer crashed and I had to reload Itunes. I tried to transfer my music again and it wouldn't let me said it was syncned to another Itunes it erased all my music and I can't get it back. Does anyone know any way that I could? Also won't let me add music from another app like it did before.
Your music will be where you put it.

MY computer crashed and I had to reload the operating system. I had purchased the export PDF. However, I had not back up since my purchase and it is my understanding that this software is not stored on my computer. The export no longer works, it just keeps circling and the message acts like it is doing it but it circles and never completes. Msg says "uploading file to adobe exportPDF online"
Hi lisa99vano,
I'm sorry that your computer crashed. That's the worst. But, it shouldn't have affected ExportPDF, since that is an online service (provided you're using a supported web browser, and there's no firewall or proxy preventing ExportPDF from uploading). First, please make sure that you're using a supported web browser: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/
Next, I think we should consider the file that you're trying to convert. How big is it? Had you tried converting it before the crash? Does it contain both text and graphics? Do other files convert without issue?
I look forward to hearing back from you with some specifics about the file.
Best,
Sara -
My computer crashed and I had to reinstall iTunes. Now I cannot sync my iPod with my computer. Any suggestions?
Was this issue ever resolved?
Ditto for me! I am so upset because about 15 years, I've had the same old Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player which worked perfectly fine until the day Gigabeat (the software) upgraded to a Vista-compatibility program which made the MP3 go haywired!! I couldn't get the MP3 player (again) to work as normal prior to the update. Then, two years later, the business no longer supports MP3 players, nor does it invest in software patches! Now I have a failed equipment ... though it still plays, but just won't let me work the controls to choose or select tracks! I can only operate the on/off button on the Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player! AND, concidentally, the battery seems to shorten (lessen)! Interesting...
Then, I decided okay, I had enough...I can't play over 5.000 songs just to return to start; I decided to purchase the Apple iPod Classic 160 GB Silver! I've had it only since March 2012. It worked wonderfully at first. It took me months to put all the music from my CDs to this magical device. And, then, all of a sudden, my computer CRASHED (ironically in JUNE 2012!!) and lost all on the hard drive ... perhaps it is not ironic afterall.
Here's a tall quesion to Apple manufacturer, are they preparing us to confiscate our equipment? It sure seems that way to me!
No support from Toshiba (which, by the way, are currently investing in so-called "green energy in nuclear projects" in the state of Texas), nor is there any support by Apple ... Interesting! Sorry for babbling. But I'm tired of big money making corporations putting on the bluffer masks on the public! Something just ain't right! Hold tight to your vinyls, tape decks, cassettes, 8-tracks and CDs... This may be just another whim to making big time money!
