Suggest that you buy PSE v.12.
Shop around - good buys this time of the year.

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

If you do not have access to the iTunes Library on your Old computer... or its Backup...

Hi RaulRod,
Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content

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.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music that you've bought from other sources or copied from your own CDs then have you not got a backup of them on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto the computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off - this post mentions some that were around a couple of years ago, whether they still exist and work I don't know.

I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again?

I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again? Is there actually a way to do this? I can't help but wonder what the stupid icloud is for if my music is still somewhere in the 'cloud' but it's zero help for restoring music when it's lost on a computer....any help even a site that get's around apple would be great!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can also redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

HT1329 I lost my iTunes in my old computer. How do I transfer my music files in my ipod (old generation) to the new iTunes (which is currently blank) set up in my new computer?

I lost my iTunes in my old computer. How do I transfer my music files in my ipod (old generation) into the new iTunes (which is currenelty blank) set up in my new computer. Thanks for your help.

You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer's hard drive, you can add them to your iTunes library.
NOTE: You can also re-download previous song purchases from the iTunes Store at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

My dad and I shared an iTunes account for years and now I'm getting my own, how can I keep my music and apps?

My dad and I shared an iTunes account for years and now I'm getting my own, how can I keep my music and apps? I'm worried that I won't have any ability to access my apps and music. We have our itunes separated on different computers, so I have all of my stuff separated from his, but I don't know how to put them in my new account.

Well... there really isn't any fully legal way to do this.
The simplest solution is to continue sharing the same iTunes purchasing acct, but create different ones for iCloud (assuming that's why you needed to do the split).
Slightly less kosher: Burn AUDIO CD's, of the music then copy them back to your new account.
BE sure to do this from original acount, To keep the music info, you'll copy over the CDDB file (in prefs somewhere) - since this maintains the data of CDs that you've had in library.... (it isn't carried over onto a user created CD.)

How can i keep the music pushed to all of families devices but the calendar and notes just between my phone and my mac using icloud?

Ok, so my whole family has the same apple ID so that we can all get the same music, and we want to be able to use icloud so that when one person buys a song it will push to all of our devices. But the problem is when I want my calendar on my mac to also be pushed to my phone it pushes to all of my familys devices. How can i keep the music pushed to everyones but the calendar and notes just between my phone and my mac using icloud?

Oops my bad...I see that during my troubleshooting I inadvertently left Ringtones unchecked in iTunes.

I had to do a recovery on my computer. How can I put my music from my ipod's on my computer itunes library without having to do the whole CD thing?

Old Computer Broke/How Do I Transfer Songs?

My old computer broke down (motherboard went out) and it won't start at all. I have bought a new computer and want to put all my IPod contents on this computer. I have the video IPod. I have installed the most recent ITunes program.
How do I go about installing the current contents of my IPod onto my new computer, when my old computer is unusable?
Thanks

There are a number of 3rd party apps that can do this for you including iPodAgent for Windows, copypod, & transpod. You can find a lot of these apps at versiontracker.com. You can take a look at MacMuse's instructions on the following link, also. but I warn you up front that MacMuse's method can be somewhat tricky for those who are computer inexperienced.
