Restore the songs from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

You cannot... But...
If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

my pc computer crashed so I bought a new one and autorized it. Downloaded itunes, synced my ipad and it only copied some of my sngs and no apps. How can I download my ipad to my new computer
You can re-download your apps and ibooks purchases via your purchase history in iTunes on your computer (assuming that it's version 10.3+), and if you are in the USA then you can also re-download music I think - more info here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For music that you ripped from CDs or bought from a source other than iTunes then, assuming that you made/maintained one, you can copy them from your backup - and backups are relatively easy to maintain, so there is no reason not to have one (especially as content is occasionally removed from iTunes so isn't always available for re-download). Otherwise there may be third-party programs that can copy them off the iPad, but you can't do it via iTunes - this post from a year ago was about iPod/iPhone to computer utilities but some might work with the iPad : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11646661?messageID=11646661� .
If you've got content in other apps that you want to copy back to your computer then you might be able to do via the file sharing section at the bottom of the iPad's apps tab in iTunes, or they might have wifi transfer capability. -
I have purchased songs from itunes on my ipad but now they are not there anymore. How can they get them back? Dont come up in songs not on this ipad and in itunes it asks to buy again
If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option -
i have a license for all adobe files but recently i had a virus and all my files were deleted.Now when i want to have them back with my redemption code it says that i cannot use it anymore.But my license is not expired.How do i get my files back??
Your redemption code was used to acquire an activation code. The activation code is what you need to use when you want to reinstall/enable the software again. Check your Adobe account online to see if the number(s) can be found there.

The music sync is one wa - copmputer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer. Use your backup to put everything back -
My old computer crashed andI bought a new one. When I went to Itunes I deauthorized all computers and then authorized my new one but I can not get my prevous purchases and I can not add my new purchases to my IPods with out it deleting all the music. How can I transfer everything that was on the old computer to this new one?
Whether you can redownload previous purchases depends upon the type of item (audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), what country that you are in (music, films, TV shows can't be redownloaded in all countries), and whether the item is still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their items) - what you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
Or you should be able to copy purchases back from your iPod via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option (if the drop-down menus aren't showing then control-B should get them to show).
If you have music from other sources on your iPod (e.g. copied from CDs) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Or do you have a copy of them anywhere else e.g. on your backup of your downloads/library that you can copy them onto your new computer from ? -

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.

I have purchased a new iPad and given my old one to my husband. How do I change the Apple ID over to him. We are having continuous confusion between the two iPads
Hi Marg42,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
My Apple ID
https://appleid.apple.com
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:

My computer was stolen, I just purchased a new one and I want to redownload my old purchases. Not all of my purchases are on my itouch. How do I get the other purchases back?
You can recover any purchased songs that are on iPods using the procedure here.
If this is not available, you can ask Apple to allow you to download your music again. Note that, first, they DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Purchase of music from the iTunes store entitles you to one download of that item. Second, note that if Apple does allow you to download a second time, they have to pay royalties on each download, whether you pay for it or not. Last, if they allow it, please back up your purchases.
To request a redownload, contact iTunes support from the menus in iTunes or use this page.
Best of luck. -
I have CS 5.5 suite on my old iMac. I just purchased a new one.

Do I need to set up Creative Cloud on my old mac first, then access it on the new one?Yes (I think).
Other than the financial discount available for the first year of Cloud membership, there is no relationship between your CS5.5 software and Cloud software.
Once you're a Cloud member just sign in (on any computer) to www.adobe.com with your Adobe ID and download the Cloud software.
You can only activate the software a maximum of two times using the same Adobe ID. -
I have up dated my itune and now it will not play my old purchase movies. I have brought new ones and they work but my old purchases will not. Why and how can I fix it.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created. -

What actions, if any, did you take to transfer your iTunes Library from your old computer to your new one? Unless you do so, the only songs that will automatically be available to you are your previous iTunes Store purchases - and even then this is dependent on both where you are (not all regional versions of the Store provide this facility) and whether the songs you've purchased are still available from the Store.
As leofanti points out, iTunes Match is not a backup service for your library.
