My pc crashed and I want to download my itunes library to my new pc. How?

How do I downloan previously purchased itunes to a new computer?

Hello Bearette,
It sounds like you have a new computer to replace the one that doesn't work anymore, and would like to get your content from your phone to the new library. You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPhone to the library with this article:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
To transfer iTunes Store purchases from your device to a computer, follow these steps:
Connect your device to the computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following dialog may appear:
Click the Transfer Purchases button.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content will be replaced with whatever existing content is in the current iTunes library your device is connected to. If there is no content in the iTunes library, nothing will be synced to your device, and your device will be empty.
Please note:
Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library. Please see this article for more details.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I want to download my itunes libary to my car. How do I do that via a USB device?

I want to download mu iTunes libary to my car. How do I do that via a USB device?

Your post is confusing.
I have a G4 that crashed backup data on a firewire drive.
Okay. Good thing it was only the backup. Replace the drive and back up the original data again. But this has nothing to do with iTunes.
I want to access my iTunes playlist from an iMac
Does this mean you have iTunes on the G4 computer and you want to access this library from the iMac?
Turn on Home Sharing on both computers

I want to download my itunes library to my shuffle. can't seem to figure out how to do this. can you help me?

I want to download my itunes library to my shuffle. Can't seem to figure out how to do this. Can anybody help?

You probably need to set up automatic syncing. Select the shuffle in iTunes. You see a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the shuffle, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Then click Apply.
Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres, then select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the shuffle, from the lists below.
Here's one convenient way to set it up. In your iTunes library, create a new regular playlist; call it something like "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). From your iTunes music library, load that iPod Songs playlist with ALL the songs you want on the shuffle. On the shuffle's Music tab, find and checkmark that iPod Songs playlist (under Playlists). When you click Apply, those songs sync to the shuffle. Going forward, to update songs on the shuffle, just update that iPod Songs playlist in iTunes (add and/or remove songs) and then connect your shuffle. iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes. If the iPod is already connected, click the Sync button to update the iPod.
If you have any specific question, please post back.

Assuming your MBP is a recent model, i.e. bought in the last couple of years, and that your TV has HDMI inputs (if you've bought it new then that's a safe assumption) then you need a mini-displayport to HDMI cable. The Apple Store sell one:

my computer crashed and I no longer have the itunes library. i get an error msg that my iphone 3g is synced to another library - how can I get the info from the phone to the itunes library without losing everything? How do I delete old audiobooks from my iphone?

You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

HT1349 How do I download my itunes library to my new computer?

How do I download my itunes library to my new computer - HP with windows 8

iTunes- Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive then connect the backup drive to your new computer and restore the library.

Downloading my itunes library to a new pc

How can I download my Itunes library to a new pc? I think the problem is because I had already dowloaded my library to my old pc.

Contact iTunes Support but while you wait for them to respond, do the following in the event you authorized your new computer more than once:
1. Open iTunes.
2. From the Store menu, choose "Deauthorize This Computer…"
3. Enter your account name and password.
4. Click OK. A message appears reading "This computer has been successfully deauthorized."
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 above. If you see the same message reading: "This computer has been successfully deauthorized," then your computer was using multiple authorizations.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 above until you see a message reading "This computer was not authorized. To authorize this computer, play a song or video you have purchased using this account."

I want to move my itunes library to a new computer

i want to move my itunes library to a new computer

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
