You can use your iphone to repopulate your iTunes on your new computer

I have upgraded to a new computer. I have installed iTunes from the internet and copied my music from the old hard drive to my new one. What do I need to do to get my new computer to recognize my old playlist?

I recently had to replace my ipod touch. The old one had a broken button and would not change the screen correctly. Apple gave me a new ipod and told me all I needed to do was update the new ipod from the itunes which I had backed up prior to getting the new one. When I did the sync , the info for my contacts was giving me names and addresses from all over the place except the itunes. Can I retrieve info from a previous sync or only to the last sync that was made?
Yes I did. When installing the new ipod it had to update the software, then it sync'ed the information onto the new ipod. The contacts were not the original ones, and all the phone numbers have dissappeared. Is there any way to recover them?

I used an external hard drive to back up my computer using Time Capsule before I bought a new one. I am slowly transferring information fromt he backup to my new computer and I want to transfer over my old font book. When I go into the Font folder on the hard drive the only fonts that show up are the ones that came stock with the computer not any of the ones I have downloaded over time. Could they be downloaded somewhere else?
The answer to that would probably be "Yes." If you don't remember where your fonts were stored, you may want to search your backups for any of the font files you know the names to. See where that takes you.
Ideally, Font Book and other font managers will temporarily store the fonts you "installed" into the System when you run the OS. When you shut down, etc. they are removed and reloaded on restart. The permanent place fonts reside is where you saved them when or after you downloaded them. I typically create a Resources folder on the root level of the computer and place a Fonts folder there. Then I install fonts from there, and they are available to all users on that iMac.
Perhaps if you did not have that kind of a strategy, perhaps many of them are still in your Downloads folder? -
new itouch won't connect to wi-fi, has wi-fi sign on top, but is not really connected, called apple support they told me to take it back and get new one, but same problem please help
Test it on another network--like at McDonals. If it works there, you got an issue on your home network--like a router setting.

i am trying to download cs6 with web prem from my old dead computer to my new one but a down load promt isnt appearing. the info is still in the my products tab. how do i get a human to help me
If you mean you are trying to transfer the programs from one machine to another that will not work. You need to install the application using installations files. You can find the installation files thru the page linked below.

My iphone is broken and i am getting a new one sent out. How do i get everything from my old phone copied to the new one so its exactly the same??
As long as they are already ticked in your iTunes then yes. Just to check do a sync and as long as everything stays the same you are good to go.

how do i get backed up purchases from an old iphone to a new one, but the only problem is an ipod is backed up into the new phone and i cant get my iphone data on to the new phone because its under i pod?
Thanks very much!
Although I had to add everything again to the playlist, at least I can just copy it over in future! -
my kids spilled water on my itouch. got a new one but how do i get all my old apps onto this one? Or the music i bought off itunes that went directly onto my itouch? thanks...
You should regularly transfer anything purchased on the ipod to your computer and include it in your regular backup of your computer.
Did you not do this?
You buy one and only one download of music/vids/movies/tv/etc. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
Unlike music, you can redownload apps:

I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"
I used "Migration Assistant" to send everything from my old mac to my new which included my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I tried downloading an update but when it asked me to find the version of acrobat to replace it was grayed out and I was unable to select it. My OS is 10.9.4

Why would you think this? That's an ignorant assumption to make.
Your media is only where you put it.
Either move it from the old computer or restore it from the backup of the old computer. -
I am a bit of a computer/Internet/iTunes dummy....
I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
and
2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
Thanks for any time taken on this!!!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.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data 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 then 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.

I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?
If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].
