New computer, how to transfer purchased songs not on ipod?

we had to get a new computer because our old one crashed big time. luckily, i had backed up my itunes a few weeks before the big crash. but there were a few songs i purchases after backing up and never got around to updating my ipod with them. itunes has a purchase history -- is there anyway to put them back into my playlists if i haven't saved them but there's a record of my purchases?

Use the form on this page to request a free redownload, or use the Transfer Purchases feature if applicable. If neither of these works, you will need to purchase the content again to get them back; Apple needs to pay the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts, album artwork, and iPod touch/iPhone applications.

New Computer Can't transfer purchased music

I just got a new computer and successfully transferred my library using the consolidate library feature. However, now, when I purchase music, I can't put it on my iPod. I can only put the music that I transferred. How do I get my purchased music to my iPod?

Hi Tyler,
Have you authorized your new PC to play your purchased music? If you haven't just try to play any of your purchased tunes on your new computer and you'll be prompted for your iTunes store ID and password, you have to be connected to the Internet. Just remember to Deauthorize your old computer if you'll be selling it or giving it away to someone you would not want to listen to your purchased music, remember you can only authorize 5 computers. To deauthorize, go to your old computer, go to Advanced > Deauthorize computer...
good luck!

i just bought a new computer, can i transfer itunes from my old computer to my new computer with my music in it or do i have to sync all my cds again

Hi,
A painless way to do it ...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Backup iTunes to an External Drive

An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

IPod on new computer - can't transfer new songs to iPod

Hi
I've just got a new PC and have downloaded iTunes. When I connected my iPod it said it was already synced with another iTunes library (ie on my old computer).
I managed to transfer all my purchased music from my iPod to iTunes on my new computer. But I've bought some new songs from the iTunes store and I now can't seem to transfer them to my iPod.
Anybody know how I can fix this please?
Kind regards

For difficulties transferring iTunes purchases, see this.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.

New Computer - can't transfer library

I have a new computer, the old one is out of action. Any advice I can see for synching my IPod with new computer requires access to the old on which isn't an option for me. Oddly, I can synch purchased music but not non purchased - does anyone have suggestions? Thanks, Scotlad

The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists also it was written for Windows XP so will probably require adapting for Vista. If you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

Moved i-tunes to new computer, won't sync purchased songs?

I have recently moved my i-tunes library over to a new computer. When I go to update mt i-pod now it doesn't update any purchased music, even though these ar showing in my music library.
Someone please help as some of my most recent and favourite albumns won't update.

Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes, or play back one of the purchased songs on your computer; in either case, provide the username and password associated with your iTunes Store account. This needs to be done before any purchased music can be synced from that computer to the iPod.

Moving to new computer, can Lightroom transfer?

I am away from home and I am transferring to a new computer. I currently have lightrom on my laptop and want to put it on this new desktop. I know my copy of the software allows for installation on two computers. My problem is I don't have my DVD copy of Lightroom with me. It will be in storage for 6 months.
Could I download the trial version of Lightroom through this website and call Adobe to activate it with the information I have on my Laptop copy (or the fact that I am a registered user?)
Or am I stuck having to buy a new copy?
Thanks,
Jeff

You're in luck. Just download the app from the site, and you'll have 30 days to register it.
I've not had to call Adobe.
As to the transfer, you can do it lock, stock and barrel if your folder structure can be repeated on the new machine. If it can't, you might want to move images into the LR folder prior to migration.

New computer, can't see downloaded songs in iTunes

I have a new computer, IBM thinkpad and when I hooked up my ipod to the newly downloaded ITunes it recognized my ipod (name and all!) but I can't see my songs in the itunes window. I have hit "sync" it shows updating, but my songs still don't appear in the window.
The songs are ok on the ipod, at least i didn't delete them as i've done in the past!
Help!!!!

Just hit the arrow to the left side of the ipods name
in iTUnes, then select "Music" under the ipods name
That did it!!! Thank you so much!

New Computer - Can't Find Purchased Music

I've recently moved my iTunes Library to a new computer. There are three or four music purchases which I do not appear in the migrated librariy. I can see these purchases in my iTunes Purchase History. How do I recover these purchases?

Since your question has nothing to do with itunes U, you may want to post in a more appropriate forum.

Computer crashed, put hard drive in new computer, can't get all songs?

Here is the story. Had 700+ itunes songs on hard drive. That computer crashed. Bought a new computer and pulled out the hard drive from the crashed one and put it into the new computer. Got it working but itunes only recognizes 178 of the 700+ itunes songs. Cannot get the library to open in anything other than Internet Explorer. Can someone please provide some guidance on what I might be able to do to fix this issue? Thanks!

What a nightmare!
How did you get the 178 songs into iTunes? Have you tried adding the missing ones?
What do you mean by this?
