My old MacBook Pro crashed before I could back up my iTunes. How can I restore all my music from that computer to my iTunes on my new computer?

My old MacBook Pro (2007) crashed on me before I had backed up all of my music on my iTunes to another source (my iPod has also crashed so I cannot use the iPod to sync all my music). I now have a new Windows 8 laptop and have downloaded iTunes onto it with my Apple ID. Is there any way for me to recover all of my songs from my old iTunes account and put them in my new iTunes? I had thousands of songs and would like to recover them if possible. Is the only way to do this by getting an external hard drive and paying someone to get all that information off my crashed computer onto the external hard drive?
Thanks in advance for your help!

You can transfer songs that you didn't buy from the iTunes store but it requires third party software such as Suneti. This is one of the best programs I know for the task and unfortunately I'm not aware of any freeware programs that transfer music from an iOS device to the computer.

My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different.

My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different. When I look at my backed-up iphoto library folder I see lots of files and folders: ALbumData.xml, Attachments folder, etc. The 9.6.1 iphoto library doesn't appear to be a folder at all. Help!

iPhoto 6 and earlier libraries were regular folders with the kind of files your reporting. With the advent of iPhoto 7 the library folder was changed to a package similar to the application packages but have essentially the same files and folders inside. There's no reason to have access to the inside of the iPhoto Library so Apple changed them to packages.
Do you have a backup copy of the iPhoto Library from before the HD crash. If so restore it to the Pictures folder in your Home folder. If you previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 or earlier download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before trying to open it with iPhoto 9.6.1.

My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account?

My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account? I have a ton of bookmarks/saved password and the only way to get on sync is create a new recovery key and lose all of my information.
Is there any way to get my stuff back without creating a new recovery key and losing all my old stuff?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.

How can i transfer all the music from my old iphone to a new one

my iphone broke. i have a new one and im trying to get all the music from the old one to the new one. i dont wanna delete all the music on the old phone i just wanna like "Copy" it to the new phone but i dont know how thats why im asking for help.

I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.

New computer, how can I move all my music from my old computer?

I have just bought a new computer, but all of my music in iTunes for my iPod is on my old computer. How can I transfer my music to the new computer?

Firefox crashed before I could load my previous session - how may I restore it? I have backed up relevant session files, but have no idea how to use them.

I was using Firefox shortly before deciding to restore my previous session (100+ tabs!), but the browser froze and went blank with the "Not Responding" label on top. This happened to me before, and I decided to just quit the session. I knew that I would lose the session I wanted, but I backed up the important session files found in the Mozilla directory (or at least whatever has "session" and "restore" in its name) while the browser was stuck (before quitting).
What I'd like to understand is HOW TO USE these files to get my session back. I've tried replacing the session files with the back-up copies to no avail. Once long ago I managed to recover a session successfully, but with Firefox constantly changing, I may have lost touch with this.
I use Firefox 34 and Windows 8.1, but I'll need others' help in identifying the session backup/restore files I need to use from the ones I backed up.
I believe that the "recovery.bak" is vital, because it contains the tab/page names I was viewing.
I would greatly appreciate whoever would help me in this, especially if they can teach me the proper methods to follow if this ever happens again (which most likely will!)

You can look at this post in this MozillaZine forum thread about inspecting a sessionstore file and possibly extract URLs.

You can open the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
Paste the JavaScript code in the command line and press the Enter key to run the code.
*Toggle the devtools.chrome.enabled pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to true to enable the command line

This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that. iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

I need to set up a new iTunes account. How can I get all my music from the old account on to the new one??? Thanks../

I have just bought an ipad 2 and wish to set up a new account as now I won't have to share with my sister. I want to get all the music off my current iTunes account & put it on to the ipad/new iTunes account. I'm not too sure how to do this though.... Please help lol :-) x

If you mean iTunes libraries or computer user accounts, just create one. To make a new iTunes library on Windows, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose Create Library.
If you mean iTunes Store accounts, click here and request assistance.

I am trying to use Barcode function on Adobe acrobat pro version..I could not figure out..how can i autopopulate forms using Barcode from one PDF document( form) to next PDF document( form)..i am missing something in between those?

I have no idea what you are asking - can you be a little bit more clear formulating your question.
Anyway, this is the Adobe Reader forum; you should probably ask in the Acrobat forum.

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected, i have tried shutting down and restartinf while holding down the trackpad, as recommended on some forums but that has done nothing
It might be a huge coincidence but the drive was working fine before i installed lion?

Installing Lion would not cause the superdrive to stop working. Are you unsure as to whether or no a cd/dvd is inside? Something may be broken inside and you should consider bringing it in for service.

Is there a list of the files and/or folders that contain Settings and Preferences which can be copied from the old system to the new?

with your cc apps you should try to use the sync feature. that's never worked consistently for me, but when it does work, it's helpful.
there are preference folders and presets and settings that you could copy but you're better off installing fresh because a common problem for people with adobe program issues is a settings issue.

How do I get all my music from my iPhone onto my new macbook pro's iTunes? My old laptop is broken.

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro as my old Macbook broke. I want to transfer all the music from my iPhone onto the iTunes of my new Macbook Pro, however I cannot do this by moving the tracks onto an external hardrive from the old computer to the new as the old is broken. I've looked at lots of different forums etc. on the internet and I've still had no luck! Please help me !

Get a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac. See also, Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store and How to dowload purchased music.
