Old computer died need to make new computer main iTunes account

My main PC died and I now my laptop is my main computer. I need to make this computer the main computer for my iTunes account. How do you do this?

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

  • Help to get my photo art edit software working in my new computer.i saved a backup before my old computer died. i have a new computer now, and is what i backed up, all i need to make my new computer have what i had in my old/dead computer?

    help. am not a tech savvy person.
    i do art with a win vista computer filledwith photoshop cs3 and tons uf unbelievable plugins that were given to me by a now deceased ps wizard.
    that computer died. i now have a new computer, but it is of no value to me without the same art setup that i backed up into an ext hard drive.
    i have wetechies @ 300 usd/year trying to remotely do that. day 2, so far no success.
    i cannot afford to buy all that. i have cancer also, and with 6 months to live, friends have generously bout me a great computer for my art needs.
    but i need more than a computer. and i need more than photoshop. i need the programs n things in my plugins .
    does anyone know how to do that?
    my wetechies from india are on day two, and ony have given me a 1.16 kb pd icon!  then asked me if that was fine.
    i said  to them it is fine if it works! which it did not.
    tody is day 2, person 2 attempting this.
    is this an impossible feat?
    they are not familiar with plugins, but they do comp tech stuff.
    my cs3 extended and the plastic case bearing the serial #, bought for 900 usd, were stolen the night i was in the hospital having my mastectomy.
    i had the ps3 inside the plastic case in my living room drawer. when i came home, there  was a psc ( not extended )  in one of the 2 computer drawers.
    i am not sure why. but in the second drawer was my chest xray from the hospital???? i suppose ,since i never looked at it myself, it may have had my personal info needed for the thief to pose as me. also, my purse, with passport,all forms of id and my keys, were stolen on another day . but i have bad credit, so good luck to them.
    i want to spend my remaining time doing art. I even entered an art competition for charity. sponsored by Lilly oncology.
    i know of no one who did art in my building at the time which was in florida, where i was having my chemo and radiion, and first surgery.
    that computer, was broken, by someone trying to fix it. perhaps the only person i know who wopuld have an interest in the plugins as he was a photog and was familiar with the photog and ps wizard who supplied me my art stuff.
    wheredo i go from here, inexpensively, i was gifted the computer of my choice. it is awesome for art. but i wanta photoshop in it, which i do not use for much, but i do use the plugins.
    question-  is it true that my new 64 bit computer with win7 is compatible with cs3 and higher? as well as plugins tha are 32bit not 64 bit?@

    Whether your music purchases will be in the cloud will depend upon what country that you are in, and whether it is still in the store (record companies occasionally remove their music) - you can't add music to the cloud without subscribing to iTunes Match.
    You should be able to copy your library over from your existing computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

  • Can't directly deactivate from old computer, but need Acrobat on new computer...

    My old computer died due to a faulty power cord/port issue... I can't power it up to deactivate my Adobe Acrobat directly from that computer. I need it on my new computer and I have the serial number. How do I do this without accessing the old computer? Thanks for any help.

    Hi Susan U,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.
    Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
    Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
    It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
    You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.
    Regards,
    Rajshree

  • Old Computer Died. Set up new computer with old WRT54G

    Hi,
      what is the easiest / best way to get up and running with my new computer(The old one died). The old WRT54 router is working fine and is up and running as always.
    Do i need to change the router settings or install any software on the new machine?
    Also earlier the router was configured with WEP security. If I were to upgrade to WPA, what would i need to do.
    thanks much,
    Sam.

    hi sam,
     if the router is up and running, no need for you to reinstall or reconfigure the router. As long as you can go online when new pc is connected to it, no worries...it will work fine...If you want to change the encryption from wep to wpa, just go to the website, www.linksys.com/kb and search for the answer id 2651...

  • I just got a new computer and need to add it to my Itunes account how do I do this

    I just bought a new computer and I need to add the computer to my Itunes account and cant see to figure it out.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases: FIle>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything form the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

  • I need to move my old hard drive files to our new computer, how?

    Hey I need to move my old hard drive files to our new computer. It is a SATA 3.5. Is it as simple as putting it in an enclosure and plugging it to new computer.
    Can I do this at the start with the IMAC? I don't have the old computer, just the drive.

    *Hi thresherman, Welcome* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    To go from PPC to intel the use of migration assistant is not the recommendation. The definitive solution is here from Kappy and a brody.

  • I purchased a new laptop.  I'm trying to find the same version of Acrobat Pro 9.5 I have on my old laptop to install on my new computer.  Any help?

    I purchased a new laptop.  I'm trying to find the same version of Acrobat Pro 9.5 I have on my old laptop to install on my new computer.  Any help?

    I'm using an iMac with the newest OS X Yosemite. I tried to reinstall Creative Cloud, removed all the programs. But I still get the 'old' 2014 version with the Lionhead, not the Sunglasses (october 2014) with interactive libraries. I use Adobe iPad apps, for instance Adobe Brush, Adobe Shape and Adobe Color and it's so great to have all the things you make with these apps in your Illustrator & Photoshop libraries. Somehow it worked om my laptop, but not om my home computer.

    Hello Ned,
    Congratulations on your new computer!  It sounds like you need to authorize it with your Apple ID.  Use these steps to authorize your new computer:
    To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    You can find those steps and more information at the following link:

    Hello shiv99,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have used Home Sharing to play the music from one computer on another, but now you would like to only use the new computer. It sounds as though you have set up the content to share between computers, but have not actually I’m ported the media from the old computer to the new one. I would suggest following the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to import you music from the old computer to the new one. After that process is complete, you can turn off Home Sharing if you would like and the content will be in the iTunes library on your new computer.

    Have a great day,
