My computer died need help!!

hi i had to get a new computer due old one dying. ive downloaded itunes on my new computer is there any way i can get all my songs that i bought from itunes on my new computer without having a back up? would i have to pay for all my music and videos again?
someone please help!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:
File>Transfer Purchases
From the terms of service of the itunes store:
"PRODUCTS CAN BE DOWNLOADED ONLY ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED OR RENTED FROM THE ITUNES STORE THAT ARE STORED IN YOUR SYSTEM."

You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow this.

  • Old computer died - need to get itunes songs/apps on new computer

    Our old computer has died. Repair guy is able to retrieve files from hard drive. My kids have an ipod nano and ipod touch. How do we get the new computer set up and get all of the songs/apps/movies onto the new computer? Should I ask repair guy to look for specific file on hard drive or will itunes get info from their ipods when they plug in?

    You should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations (Do not ask for more than that or they might not help).
    For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • Old computer died, need iPod music on new laptop

    My old computer died before I could make files and transfer library. How do I get my music from my iPod to my new laptop? I need help!!

    Hello kris10new,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • Old computer died, need to import whole library/playlists to new

    My old computer died without warning last week, and thankfully I was able to recover all my music and such from my hard drive and put it on my new computer. How do I import my whole library with playlists and everything into my new iTunes? I spent tons of time putting different playlists together and don't want to have to start from scratch. Is there a way to pull them off my iPod??
    Any help is appreciated!

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

  • Old computer died need to put itunes on new one

    old computer died have no access to it need to put my old itunes on new laptop

    See this User Tip for an alternative approach.
    Use SyncToy to create a clone of your library on an external hard drive.
    Connect the drive to the new computer, install SyncToy again and use the Sync option to copy the library in the other direction.
    (ideally before installing iTunes so you don't have to remove an empty library or run the risk of it corrupting your backup.)
    Update the backup periodically to guard against disaster in the future.

  • Iphone and computer died, need to get the files from hard drive

    Iphone and computer died at the same time, my hard drive on the computer is ok, i did a external connection of my hard drive to my laptop, my iphone was backed up on itunes on the computer which are on the hard drive, how do i extract contacts and other files from the hard drive thanks

    If the old drive is not accessible then, no, you will not be able to access all your files on it. In this case you may need to look at the following:
    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • I just reformatted my Windows XP computer and need help transfering everthing from my iPad and iPhone back into iTunes

    I recently had to format my Windows XP Pro computer and need to transfer all the iTunes information from my iPad1 and iPhone4 back to my PC. I could use some help, everytime I try it it says it will delete everything on my iPhone/Pad and reload everything from the new iTunes (now only 54 songs instead of the 342 that I have on my iPhone right now.)

    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 look at a way (using software from a third party company)  to extract the media from you iDevice.
