Same itunes login and purchases, different computer...

the computer i had about 2 months ago was the one i downloaded itunes onto and originally bought songs on, but as the old computer just died, i had to get a new computer, which is the one i am now using. i downloaded itunes on here and had a few of my purchased songs on my ipod shuffle so i transferred them to the library. i couldnt keep any of the files on my old computer because i couldnt access them, how can i get my purchased songs back to the library i am Now using. i have the correct email and login so surely this is possible. if not, can i get a refund for the purchased songs i no longer have?

It is your responsibility to keep up with your purchases. You should always back up info/music/pics to an external sources as hard drives can and do fail.
"can i get a refund for the purchased songs i no longer have?"
No.
From the terms of service of itunes:
"PRODUCTS CAN ONLY BE DOWNLOADED ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM"

Can I use more than 1 device ie iPod and iPhone on the same iTunes account and have different music on them

Yes. Use the option to sync with selected playlists on the music tab when your devices are connected.

Download them to the computer to which the iPod is synced, re-sync.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everythi

I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

The same itunes Library and playlists on the same computer with two systems

I want to have the same itunes library and playlists on the same computer with the two different Os 10.3.9 and 10.4.9 each one on the different disk. without copy this in the itunes folder (because my library its 30Gb)
I have the same user name on the Os. I use the same version of itunes in both systems
I use my ipod to play the library but its not the best solution (i lost my library in ipod twice because I confused from what os was synchronized)

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Amalgamate the two iTunes libraries. Then load iTunes and hold down the Option/Alt ⌥ key and then choose "Choose Library" and then point both copies of iTunes to use the combined iTunes library.

HT1203 How can I access my itunes account from a different computer as I need to cancel a subscription and I am on holiday at the moment

Hello
I need to access my itunes account from a different computer as I need to cancel a subscription and I am on holiday at the moment.
Am I already now logged in to Apple ??
Thanks

If the Computor you are on has iTunes library go to tunes as if u were going to buy a song or film and you can log into your account. At the bottom of the iTunes home page you should see the user that is logged on usually a email address. Click on it to log them out and enter your own apple I'd and password. You can then update whatever you want and log back out after

If I have a MacBook Air, can I download digital copies of movies onto another computer that uses the same iTunes account and still get the movies on my MacBook?

In most countries with a lot of movies yes you can, just like how iCloud works with apps/music

Sharing iTunes library and having different iCloud ID ?

My wife and I use the same iTunes account and share libraries (music, apps and others).
Now, on her iPad and iPhone, almost daily she is prompted for entering an iCloud password in order to backup. I guess this makes sense in this situation to have separate backups in iCloud, but share the iTunes and App store ID and password.
Now I'm starting to wonder which is best : either backup on a Mac then no longer have to bother with this ? Or keep using iCloud (then how could we know if she ever had an iCloud account - and can this be different than iTunes and App Store) ? - If so how to recover ?
Or is there another way to go ?
Last thing we want is to either end up with a merged and confused iCloud backups, or that she loose all access to iTunes purchases by logging her iPad to a different ID and password for iCloud...
Thanks,
Rob

Hi lanstrad,
If your wife's iPad and iPhone are asking for a sign on to iCloud repeatedly, have her Delete the iCloud account on the device and sign back in again to see if that resolves that problem: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom of the screen, tap on Delete account, enter iCloud password, follow the remaining prompts to delete the account (this will not affect the iCloud content - it will come back when iCloud is signed back on). Then sign back into the account.
You can use separate IDs for iCloud and for iTunes. This allows you to do exactly what you are doing - keeping your purchases shared between the two of you while keeping your Contacts, Messages, Notes, etc. separate. Here is a support article on using two IDs:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
Post back if you have any further questions.

Same iTunes Account on Two Different Computers

Is there any way for someone to create an iTunes that allows a person to access the same iTunes account on two different computers? Like if my mom wanted the same songs on her computer as the ones on my dad's computer, but she doesn't want to go through the trouble of using a flash drive. They both want to have access to the same account on two different computers.

if the computer cannot be turned on, one option would be to remove the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure that can be connected to the working computer.

HT201272 I downloaded an album but one of the songs is corrupted, it only plays for about 4 seconds. When I try to re-download using the iTunes Store and "Purchased", it won't give me the option to download it again. How can I get the song I PAID for!!??

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop?

My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop? I have already unchecked the "Auto Update Apps" button. It happens with all purchases in the app store and on iTunes. HELP!

I also think separate accounts is the way to go....if he is over 13yrs also remember if you do make an account for him and use your bank card all purchases will be charged to your card.

How am i able to use the same itunes account on a different ipod?

How am I able to use the same iTunes account on a different iPod?

By just using the same iTunes account. If you set up the iPod on your computer just make sure that iTunes is signed your account. Of settingup via wifi, just enter your existing account. Do not create a new one.

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.
