My original computer's hard drive crashed!!!
I had a very large (1,800 song) library on my old computer, which had iTunes version 6, and was synched with my iPod. I purchased a new computer, transfered the PURCHASED (53) SONGS FROM MY IPOD TO THE NEW COMPUTER BY AUTHORIZING IT AS THE 2ND OF 5. HOW DO I DE-AUTHORIZE THE CRASHED HARD DRIVE? ALSO - IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET THE NON-PURCHASED SONGS FROM MY iPod to the new computer without having access to the crashed drive of the old computer? Please HELP!!!
To de-authorize you need the old computer functioning. Don't worry about it unless you plan on authorizing more computers. When you reach five authorized systems you can de-authorize all of them then authorize the ones you actually need.
There is software available online to transfer from iPod to iTunes. I believe Anapod and Yamipod are two of them. I havn't needed it yet.

how can i sync music from my phone onto my new computer without losing it all? my old computer's hard drive crashed so it is unusable.
If you do not have a back up of the crashed hard drive you can download an app to copy from the iPhone to iTunes on the new hard drive.
I have used Pod2Mac. There is also Pod2PC.
There are numerous choices, some free, some payed. Do a Google search. -

My computer's hard drive crashed and now that its fixed (my computer) I want to download previously purchased songs from Itunes. When I'm signed into Itunes and attempt to download from the cloud a text box pops up saying "I need to authorize the computer before I can download previous purchases". I'm using the same computer that I purchased all previous songs. So how do I authorize my computer?
On your Computer...
Open iTunes...
If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "
and from the Menu Bar select Store...
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
(In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

Re-Downloading for new Computer, old hard drive crashed
I need to re-download Photoshop vers 13.
I purchased the program online in October, 2012. After several hard drive crashes, Apple replaced my MacBook Pro, and I need to re-download the Photoshop ver 13. (All I can find are Cloud versions.)

I was updating to iOS6 and I accidentally knocked out my USB hub when I was moving the printer cable. My iPhone cord, which was in the USB hub, obviously got disconnected. I found out the hard way that I had to format my phone, or it would just be a really expensive paperweight. I did.
A couple days later, I added all of my country music back onto my phone just so I had something to listen to. I listen to a wide variety of music, however, so that was just a small portion of my library. A week and one day after the operating system incident, I got the good ol blue screen. I'm used to them, even though my laptop was purchased in May 2011 and I shouldn't have to be used to them, so I just tried to fix it, to no avail. After running the Dell diagnostics, I was greeted with "Hey! You're hard drive is done!" in computer speak. Numerous expletives later, I booted my computer into safe mode and manually copied all of my files to my terabyte external hard drive.
I've got my computer back now and I copied my files back onto my computer. They're all in iTunes, but I can't click and drag them onto my phone. When I drag the songs, the icon has the number of songs and the circle with a slash through it. I'm not technically incompetent...so I'm thinking that Apple is so afraid that I'm going to steal the music I paid for that they're not allowing me to move it back to my phone. If someone were to prove me wrong and solve my problem, I'd actually be a really happy camper. So.....anyone?
Thanks!!!!!
AI solved my own question. So for anyone else who has this problem, here's what to do.
1. Plug in your iPhone. Sync it with the computer.
2. Click on your phone in the sidebar and click on your phone's music tab on the top right.
3. Select that you'd like to sync music from this library.
4. Select what you want to sync. Yes, it will delete the current music off of the phone but if you've imported that into your new library, then you'll just put it right back on. Your phone currently thinks it's supposed to sync with the hard drive that doesn't exist, so that's the problem.
5. Press apply, then press sync (lower right).
6. It should sync everything....I hope....That's what it looks like it's doing.
7. Never accidentally unplug your phone during an update again.
8. Hope to whatever god you pray to that your hard drive doesn't crash again.
9. Enjoy your day -

My hard drive crashed and I can not find my Photoshop CS6's serial number. What do I do?
I originally had Photoshop CS5 (bought DVD), but decided to upgrade to Photoshop CS6. When I upgraded to Photoshop CS6, I purchased it online and did it through e-mail instead of DVD. The e-mail has disappeared, and my computer's hard drive crashed so I have no idea what my Photoshop CS6's serial number is. How would I be able to find it?
You cannot "connect" to it by using the serial number. The following has information from Apple regarding a lost or stolen device: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?

My hard drive crashed and I restored my computer with my daughter's hard drive (her battery was dead) and I want to install my personal itunes on the new hard drive. I was unable to deauthorize the original computer and I do not know how to reinstall my personal itunes. Can someone help me with this?
Thank you.Without a backup of your "crashed" HD you will have to download your iTunes purchases again. Make sure your restored computer is running the latest version of iTunes.
Here is the procedure for your reference.
On your restored computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
"Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
When you want to play your newly downloaded music, you will have to "authorize" it. Don't worry about the lost HD until enough of your computers crash that you reach the limit of 5. Then you can "deauthorize all" and re-authorize as necessary.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Old Hard drive crashed, need to transfer music from iPod to new computer
Hello. My old hard drive crashed and I bought a new computer. Unfortunately I did not back up any files from my old computer and lost all files including iTunes music. All I have is the music from my iPod. I would like some help or if anyone knows anything about how to transfer the music from my iPod to my new computer. I guess my new computer is not the original authentic one in the itunes system and will not let me exchange music from my iPod to new computer. I would appreciate help if anyone has ideas. Thank bunches.
Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay. -
Hard drive crash - new computer - files cannot be found
I had an extensive hard drive crash December 31st, just a few weeks after I had iTunes 8 updated, which lost all my music and I had to fill my music in manually again - which on a 60GB ipod is VERY time consumming...
My Computer guy installed a new hard drive and I have itunes once more - since he rescued a lot of old files from my former PC - the album artwork is there, so are the titles.
When I click on one I get the feared ""The song ... could not be used, because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" appears.
Now, this time I have all my music stored on an external hard drive ;O)
BUT - do I really need to locate each single file - click it on - and then iTunes can find it as well - as long as the external hard drive is on that is (if it's off the entire thing starts all over...)
Is there an easier way - I don't feel like playing this game again with 55 Gb of music?!
My frustration level has sunk to a new record and I am almost ready to give up on iTunes and my iPod - I seem to spend half my life with them lately :o(
HELP - PLEASE!Is this a new drive or one that you've been using with you mac for a while?
