Previous Purchases with new computer
I have a question, and it's that I have just received my MacBook Air on Monday, but all of my iTunes purchases were on my old PC which had it's memory clean out recently. Do I have to repay for ALL of my Music, Movies, Apps, and TV shows and if not, then how do I recover them and put them on my Mac???
For future reference - back up your purchases - The iTS allows one d/l - if you get a second chance at a iTS purchase d/l be happy that you didn't have to re-purchase the item. This applies to TV Shows, Movies, Tunes - apps are different.
I have 2 b/u of my iTunes on ext HD's. I have too much time invested and don't want to have to recreate and re-rip all my CD's.

Re-buying previously purchased music (new computer)
Hi guys,
I just installed iTunes on a new laptop. I haven't had an ipod for a couple of years, but naturally the old itunes account is still there. I can't find the music I bought back then (which makes sense) but I also don't seem able to re-buy the tunes. I'm sure there's a really obvious solution I'm missing.
Cheers!The tunes you bought are still where you left them: on the hard drive of the computer from which you bought them, and any backups you may have made.
You have a few options:
If the songs are on your iPod, you can put them into the new iTunes using the "Transfer Purchases" feature. (This one does not help in your case.)
You can contact iTunes Customer Service and tell them there were extenuating circumstances and see if they will bend the policy and allow a free re-download. They are not obligated to do so, but they occasionally do.
You cannot re-buy them from the iTunes Store with your current account, but you can go buy them from the amazon.com MP3 Download Store and add the MP3s to your iTunes library.
Finally - you probably knew this was coming - please start keeping a backup of your music and other valuable files.
Edit: I meant amazon.co.uk for you!

I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized.
I have searched high and low and there does not seem to be a way to authorize the iPod Classic. What can I do to sync my purchases to my iPod? I have tried reformatting/restoring it as suggested. It continues to only allow me to sync non-icloud/itunes content.
Help!What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

I purchased a new computer, i want to install the CS5 i previously purchased onto my new computer. How do I do this? Do I have to repurchase the product?
You don't have to repurchase CS5. If you still have the old computer, you should open one of the CS5 applications and choose Help > Deauthorize to remove using that computer from your license.
If you no longer have access to the old computer, you can do this with web chat here:
Serial number and activation support
If it's a new computer, you can install from the original discs or installer. If you don't have a copy, you can download it here:

I have purchased an new computer with the Windows 8.1 OS. The old computer had Windows Vista and is just about to quit working altogether. I wish to uninstall it on that computer and deactivate it; so that I may install the software that I purchased (some years ago, but hardly used) on my new computer. Is that allowed and do I have the right idea about doing it? I have the serial number
and all that with the software.Download CS3 products

My computer was totally destroyed & I do not have backup or external hard drive with my saved iTunes library from it. That was the only computer authorized to play library. I do not have an iPod or iPhone with any of that library (which has over $2K in music purchases & over 5K in songs I ripped). Will I be able to access my iTunes library when I purchase a new computer?
You should be able to access your past iTunes purchases. You'll need to re-rip your CDs See: HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
See also this backup tip so you don't get caught out again.

Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop. This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again. Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.
If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.

I am using an I-mac series 4 with a 2GHZ processor, I tried to convert to Lion and the rresponse was the chip was not fast enough, can I upgrade the chip or do I need to purchase a new computer?
Unfortunately yes, but Snow Leopard is still a great OS in the meantime so don't rush in too quick if you really don't need to.
Good Luck

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. -
I have had to purchase a new computer, as my last laptop died!! I have tried to add music onto my iphone, and my childrens ipod touch's, but its looking like it will clear their memory completely. Please can someone advise me what I need to do. Many thanks.
See iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
BTW this list os for discussing the list itself. You'll get better response to questiosn you post if you post them to the correct list. I'll ask to have this moved to the iTunes list.

I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes to it but now can't get podcasts downloaded after the transfer to sync with device.
So you have these podcasts downloaded and stored in your iTunes library is that correct? However, they will not sync with the device? Are these video or audio podcasts?
How is your Nano currently configured to sync podcasts? You can check this by viewing the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes. To view this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the Summary tab that now shows to the right. Look for the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can configure how and what Podcasts are synced.
If you do happen to make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button to sync the updated changes to the Nano.
