New Computer - how do I download music
OK - I posted a similar question in the past, but I'm still not real sure if I can do what I'm hoping. The original computer that I was downloading my music from crashed. I have a new computer now and have iTunes up and running and have even purchased some music. Can someone help me with how to get this music from my new computer/music library uploaded onto my iPod without losing what is already there from the original computer? P.S. I did have the iPod on the manual option before the original computer crashed - if that's helpful. Basically, I want to use the new computer exclusively now, but not lose the music that I uploaded from the music library on the original computer. Can this be done? And if yes, how???
Ok. Since you're syncing the iPod to a new computer, the first thing that the sync does is erase everything already on the iPod. But then it copies everything from iTunes on the computer over to the iPod. It's not the most efficient way to do things, but it keeps the record companies from accusing Apple of fostering music piracy.
Since you've already copied your music onto the computer and loaded it into your new copy of iTunes, you have nothing to lose by letting the iPod sync to the new library. If your iPod is acting odd, you can reset it to factory specs with the iPod updater.
The first time you sync with the new library it will take quite a while to copy everything. You may want to start the sync at night before you go to bed and let the computer and iPod sync overnight. Depends on how much music you have.
If you can play your purchased music on your computer (i.e. the computer is authorized), then the purchased music will be moved to your iPod.
As long as your library isn't bigger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes will pretty much take care of everything for you.

how do I put music from my iphone egs to my new computer, how do I put music from my iphone to my new computer?
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.

It can depend on which software you need to download. If you originally purchased the siftware by download, then look in your Adobe account online to see if there are links to download it again.
Alternatively, you can check the following page to see of your software is included in the available downloads:

Hi all,
I've just downloaded itunes onto a new computer, and I'm currently downloading previously owned music from the cloud. However, it keeps sticking on various songs - it will get part of the way through and just stop, this seems to happen to about 1 in 10 songs. How do I get round this?
Also, once I've finished dowloading from the cloud, how do I get my library to display only the songs I've downloaded, and not all the other ones that I don't want anymore?
Cheers, AlexOn the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

When I add a new computer, how do I download all previously purchased songs to it?
I have added a new computer to my system and I can't seem to access previously purchased songs. Help, please!
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.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information 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 of it, 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. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
