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.

  • 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 cannot find a way to authorize my new computer to play previously purchased music from itunes.  The directions say to click on STORE menu, but I don't see that option.

    I cannot find a way to authorize my new computer to play previously purchased music from itunes.  The directions say to click on STORE menu, but I don't see that option.

    Go to the Store menu item on the menu bar, and choose Authorize This Computer, as shown below. 
    If by any chance you don't see the menu bar (File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Help), first enable it by using CTRL+B.

  • My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

    My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

    One of the reasons to include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data that is kept separate from your laptop - not carried in the same case, etc.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If you are in the US, you can do this now as well.

  • New computer -- can't find music on external drive - what am i doing wrong?

    I have searched previous posts and cannot seem to find an answer.
    Up until recently, I ran iTunes from my desktop, and housed the music on an external hard drive. Recently, I purchased a new laptop and transferred applications and files over from the desktop using Windows Easy Transfer.
    I thought that simply pointing my laptop to the iTunes Music Folder location on the external hard drive was all I needed to do (F:\iTunes\MyMusic) but I seem to be mistaken, as I am getting the “iTunes cannot find the original files” messages when I click to play songs.
    Have I missed something incredibly obvious here? I’ve been futzing around with this for a while now and tend to think I am missing the easy fix.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

    Thank you for your response. The drives are in fact different letters -- I changed the drive name to correspond the original drive letter...but that doesn't seem to have fixed the problem.
    Where I seem to stand is:
    Old computer (with iTunes library) + external hard drive (with iTunes music) work just fine.
    New computer -- iTunes library copied from old computer, iTunes music folder identified in iTunes, but iTunes can't find the music.
    At this point, am I better off starting from scratch with the new computer (in terms of installing iTunes and moving my library over from my old computer)?
    And if so, what would be the best way to approach this?
    Thanks much.

  • How do I authorize a new computer to play my purchased music on iTunes

    I recently got a new computer. My previous computer has iTunes but is no longer able to access the internet. I was able to get my music library from my original computer to the new one. When I try to play music, I get a window asking me to authorize the new computer. I fill in the account and password and press the authorize button. It accepts the password then asks me to download iTunes 6.0. I downloaded and installed iTunes 6 but every time I try to play any of my music, it sends me to the music library to download iTunes 6 again.
    How do I authorize this computer to play my purchased music ?
    new computer is an HP m7590n running Windows XP Media Center 2005.

    There were two icons. One was version 4 the other was version 6. When I used Version 6, it worked.

  • Transferred songs but new computer can't find file

    I transferred my music library with my mini to a new computer but now the new computer says it cannot find my any of my songs because "the original file cannot be found". And yet it looks like it transferred, the new library has all 609 songs. Any thoughts on how to get this opened up.

    From the link I posted:
    If you do not have your web order number available, visit the online Order Status to view your order history and retrieve your web order number for your software purchase. You can also contact Apple Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775, Mon-Fri 5:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m., or Sat-Sun 7:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Pacific time.
    If the Order Statua link doesn't help the telephone number might.

  • New computer, can't find my CS5 disc, where to download?

    I got a new PC, and I can only find my CS3 disc.  I installed it, and then downloaded CS5.5, but I guess my serial number (which I retrieved off My Adobe) won't work.  I purchased an upgrade CS5 version 7.0 (which installed fine on my old computer upgrading from CS3), so I need to find where I can download that. 
    Why does adobe only seem to make the latest version available for download?   Where can I get CS5? HELP!!!!!!!!!

    You can try Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools
    I don't know if they have the CS5 downloads, too. You must follow the directions on that page EXACTLY or it won't work.

  • Need help with my iTunes-new computer-can't access my music

    We just got a new computer and I transferred all of my songs from the old to the new and now when I try to access them in iTunes I get an error message that "it cannot be used because the original file cannot be located" Do I have to put in the DVD with all of the files on it in order to use any of my song? I thought that I saved them to my hard drive, but who knows....HELP!!! pLEase!!!

    You haven't told us enough about what you did.
    You need to explain exactly how you did your transfer.
    If you don't care about your ratings and play counts and your really did copy your files across, there is a simple way of getting going again.
    With iTunes closed drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.itl out of the iTunes folder to the desk top.
    Start iTunes and you will have an empty library. Now simply add the folder with your music files in it - normally iTunes Music - to iTunes with File>Add folder to library.
    If you didn't copy your files across, try putting the DVD in the drive and opening iTunes - can iTunes find your files now. If so it is a sign you added the files to your library without copying them to your internal HD.

  • If I get a new computer, can I download my music to that new computer from the cloud via iTunes match?

    I just bought a new computer and was wondering if i authorize it, will it be able to download the songs I own if they're uploaded on itunes match. Thanks all.

    If you call around, you might be able to find an apple authorized repair shop in your area that can offer to put pull the hard dive out of the old computer and put it into an external hard drive.

  • Can't find purchased music?

    During a recent i-Pod synch on my computer, I may have mis-chosen an option. Bottom line, previous purchases are no longer on my iTunes nor my iPod, but they do show up on my iTunes account history. How do I get them back?

    Same thing just happened to me. I synced my ipod and suddenly twenty something songs I bought two days ago disappeared off of my ipod and itunes without a trace. What really angers me is that I've bought a good $300 in music off of itunes over the past few years, and it makes me wonder how many songs disappeared that I never even noticed. Not good Apple. You guys are doing an excellent job of pursuading me not to purchase music through the itunes store. Amazon has just as good of selection without the buggy DRM.

  • Installed shuffle software on new computer - can't find library

    I installed my shuffle software on my new computer at my new workplace. My library is blank and somehow I've managed to delete the songs from the shuffle. Do I need to get my files transferred from my old work in order to see my library and reload my shuffle?

    A shuffle can only be associated with one library at a time. You will need to get your files from your old computer transferred over to the new computer.

  • Moved Library to new computer - can't access all music on IPOD

    Hi,
    I apologize in advance if this exact issue has already been discussed.
    I recently migrated all my data to a new laptop. I was successful in moving my music files over and re-installing the IPOD/I-Tunes software. Now, only 50% of my Music Library will download to my IPOD. The music that won't come across is mostly stuff that I purchased via I-Tunes.
    What should I do?
    thanks!

    Have you played each track at least once within iTunes before you try and load the track to your iPod? If you haven't played the tracks once, try doing that and then see if they'll load; they may not be correctly authorized.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT201272 I have tried several ways to transfer my itunes library and Playlists to a new computer. I get the music library but not the playlists. Can you advise? 2nd I purchased 21 new tunes yesterday on the new computer worked great but when I made a disc

    I have tried several ways to transfer my itunes library and Playlists to a new computer. I get the music library but not the playlists. Can you advise?
    2nd > I purchased 21 new tunes yesterday on the new computer> worked great> but when I made a disc to transfer the playlist. I get the music but no album info just 1,2,3,etc. So I have signup both computers to share thinking that would work. But no to that also.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,

  • A few years ago I bought music from Itunes.  Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer.  Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it.  How can I download all the music I have purchased from

    A few years ago I bought music from Itunes.  Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer.  Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it.  How can I download all the music I have purchased from Itunes?

    Might have luck with that here >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID that was used for the original purchases.
