Old computer crashed can i get my songs on the new one with out buying them

my old computer's mother board went out and it wont turn on now, so i was wondering if there is anyway to get my old itunes songs on the new computer with out having to buy them all over i havn't tryed anything yet so i was just wondering if anyone had any answers. thanks

If the motherboard crashed, the hard drive might still be OK. You can put the hard drive in an external USB hard drive enclosure for about $25. ll your music should still be on it!

  • New Computer, How do i get my songs on the new one?

    I just got a new computer and ive downloaded iTunes onto it, but i dont know how to get my songs onto the iTunes. If i let it update my iPod it will wipe it clean, right? I dont want that.
    thanks

    You will need to buy software that will allow you to move music from the ipod to the computer. Ipods will not allow you to do it unless you get something else that "unlocks" it. I bought Ipod music liberator from Zeleksoftware

  • HT2589 We had an account that was housed on our old computer but it didn't make it onto the new one...how can I get the account balance and start using it?

    We had an account that was housed on our old computer but it didn't make it to the  new one.  How can we find the balance and start using it again?

    iTunes accounts are not located on your computer.  They are simply tied to a specific AppleID.  Just log in to iTunes with the correct AppleID and Password and you will be back in that account.

  • I purchased a new computer, how do i transfer all of my itunes content from the old computer to the new one with out loosing songs, apps, pics ...ect

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer to move iTunes content.
    As for pictures, copy them from where there are on the old computer to the new computer... this has nothing to do with iTunes.
    Alternatively, if both computers are Windows based, use the Windows Easy File Transfer Utility to move everything.

    hi rick,
    don't forget that, in fact, your photos were not "contained" in photoshop, but on the hard disk of your ( now crashed ? ) computer. Tell us something about that crashed machine: do you still have it , did someone try to retrieve some info out of it, what was the diagnostic of repairmen, etc...Did you have a backup of these photos ?

  • Old computer is broke, how can I get my songs onto the new computer?

    My other computer with Itunes and all my songs was dropped and broke. We were unable to recover any of the songs. I have all the songs on my ipod though. So I downloaded Itunes onto this new computer, and now I am trying to add my recently downloaded songs to the ipod, and it keeps telling me that I need to erase the library and replace it with the new library. I don't want to lose all the songs I have now! What can I do? Is there any way to put all the songs from my ipod into Itunes just by using the ipod??

    Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the 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. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    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 also 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
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    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.

  • Old computer died - need to get itunes songs/apps on new computer

    Our old computer has died. Repair guy is able to retrieve files from hard drive. My kids have an ipod nano and ipod touch. How do we get the new computer set up and get all of the songs/apps/movies onto the new computer? Should I ask repair guy to look for specific file on hard drive or will itunes get info from their ipods when they plug in?

    You should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations (Do not ask for more than that or they might not help).

  • HT1212 Restoring on a new computer that the ipod has never been synced to is not working.  Old computer is broke and trying to sync to the new one is not working.  Help!

    Passcode has been disabled and the computer it was synced to is no longer working.  We have tried to sync to the new computer and it is not possible.  Exactly what are the steps to do this.  All our apple products are on our account, therefore, apple support should be able to see that there is nothing "suspect" going on.  It is driving me insane not being able to reset/resync, whatever it's called when your locked out. 

    Place the iPod in Recovery mode and connect to the computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT4007 How can I get rid of duplicates in a project with out deleting them one by one?

    How can I get rid of duplicates in a project without deleting them one by one?

    What kind of duplicates? Did you import the same image file several times? Aperture does not have any built-in tools to detect duplicates. You will have to do delete the one by one. You could arrange the images by date, so that duplicates are shown side by side in the Browser. Or use a tool like Duplicate Annihilator (the program is not free). I have never tested it but some do recommend it.

  • My iMac hard drive crashed how do get my apps on the new one?

    The hard drive for my 27 inch imac crashed how do I get the iphoto and other owned apps in my new hard drive?

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provides trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
    You will need to install the old drive into an external enclosure to try and access it.
    Any applications purchased from the App Store can simply be redownloaded.

  • I have transferred my itunes library to an external drive. I then attached the external disk to a new computer. I can now access all songs from the new computer. But I can't access playlists. I can still  access all songs and playlists on the old computer

    If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
    Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.
