The computer my iTunes account was locked to no longer works

As the title says my computer that has all my tv shows and that on no longer works.
I was reading when I bought the tv series and that, that its locked to one computer only. So what happens now that its broken?
Do I have to rebuy everything when I get a new computer or am I able to re download once I get a new computer?
Is there anything I can do?
thanks

Content is not locked to a single computer. You do, however, get only one download per purchase for any content other than apps and iBooks. So unless you have a backup, as iTunes itself advises you to make, or have those shows on an iOS device, you may indeed have to repurchase them.
If you lack a backup and an iOS device with those shows, your best hope is that the hard drive in your old computer still works. If it does, you can mount it to your new computer, either internally if there's room for another drive or in an external case. You should then be able to drag the TV shows and any other content from the old hard drive into the iTunes window in your new computer. Once there, all you should have to do is authorize the computer to your iTunes Store account (Store menu in iTunes -> Authorize This Computer).

The user acct my apple was connected to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that account and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user?

The user profile my appleTV was synced on my computer to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that profile and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user (same computer)? I created a new user on my computer and moved the itunes folder to the desktop but never changed the path to which the apple synced to. Now I can only see old items I purchased before the user profile went bad. PLease help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Changing the library the Apple TV is synced with will delete all synced content from the Apple TV, but it won't delete purchased content.
You should be able to change the library, resync any content you want and transfer your purchases back to the new library.

Sending an User an email using SCORCH based on a SCOM alert that his/her account was locked out.

Hi,
I am interested in finding a solution for the following topic.
We would like to send an email to an End-User who's Windows Account has been locked-out. Besides the fact there are measures in place to deal with the situation in general (Monitoring by SCOM 2012 R2, looking for eventid:4740) we would like to notify the
End-User about this event too.
So, we have SCOM 2012 R2 in place to collect all the necessary information at a central location, if you will. The tricky part is to take the information and create an email containing the email address of the User who's account was locked-out. That information
resides within the Description of the Event.
Having asked around basically everyone is pointing to Orchestrator to do the job. Being new to that topic I wonder if someone else has that type of requirement and maybe already found a solution.
So key is, SCOM collects the information from all DCs, has a rule to identify EventID4740, than Orchestrator comes into play to take that Alert and send out an email to the user, who's name is part of the Event Description.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Hello,
first you need to setup System Center Orchestrator:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh420387.aspx . The current version is System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator.
You also need to register, deploy and configure the System Center Integration Pack for System Center 2012 Operations Manager (download of the current version:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39622&WT.mc). You need to install The OpsMgr Operantion Console on the Orchestrator Runbook Server that it works, or
http://blog.coretech.dk/jgs/sco-2012-use-operations-manager-integration-pack-without-installing-opsmgr-console-on-runbook-servers/.
In the event description of 4740 there's the account name not the email address. If the email addresses for the users are maintained in Active Directory register and deploy the Active Directory Integration Pack for System Center 2012 - Orchestrator (also
located in the download above).
With that all you can build a Runbook like that:
Or do you have or want to write a PowerShell-Workflow for that you can use this with Service Management Automation (SMA), contained in the setup of System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator.

I want to access my itunes account on my parents computer. It already has another itunes account on it. I no longer have the original computer that my itunes account was on. How do I access my itunes now in these circumstances?

I can try, but I don't understand your problem.
What device are you using?
Do they have a Mac or a PC?
Do they have devices they are using?
What do you want to access? Do you want to sync that information you access?

well, my dad gave me his iphone 3gs when he got a new iphone. he passed away and his itunes account was terminated and my iphone is disabled for 21 million and something minutes and i dont even know how it happened. my phone has been disabled for a really long time and i calculated the time span of how many minutes its locked and it would be locked for 41 years.

To recover it at this point you need to restore it using the computer it was last backed up to. This will remove the passcode.

I have 2 iphones, 1 personal and 1 business. I thought I was supposed to have 2 separate itunes accounts. I now have a work ipad and want to only have 1 itunes account that I can use for all 3 devices. How do I cancel 1 account or just combine the 2?

TS1368 My iTunes account was hacked and charges were made from some other computer. Now my computer isn't being recognized and I need to enter security answers I never provided answers for and cannot access my account to make a purchase. I need help!

My iTunes account was hacked and fraudulant charges were made. Now when I try to go into my account from my personal computer, it states that "this is the first time using this computer, please enter answers for security questions," I never answered any security questions and cannot change or edit that because it tells me I'm entering the wrong info. How do I get a live person to help me through this so I can return to making purchases on my own account?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

My itunes account was started on a computer that is no longer working.

My phone is linked to an itunes account that was started on a computer that no longer works.
How can I open that account on another computer? I want to add music to my phone without losing the current music. How can I open that itunes account?

It depends what not working means - if the hard drive is working and you can access it say in a USB caddy you might be able to find the media files and copy over to the new iTunes, but it may depend on how your user accounts are stored.
Alternatively for iTunes store purchases, on the new computer open itunes and go to the store Home Page. On the far right under QuickLinks you should find a Purchased category - this will let you redownload content from the 'cloud' if available in your country.

I forgot one of the answers to my security questions and my account was locked for 8 hours. Is there anyway around this? I am trying to change the questions.

I forgot one of the ansers to a security question and my account was locked for 8 hours. Is there anything I can do or do I have to wait 8 hours? I will probably get locked out again for providing the wrong answer. Can I change the security questions?

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

Call Apple sales support. Something apparently went wrong in your transaction. In the USA the number is 1-800-676-2775.
Best of luck.

My itunes account was disabled for some reason. I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work. I could log in but not make purchases from the store so I set up a new login/account . Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

My itunes account was disabled for some reason. I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work. I could log in and see my music but not make purchases from the store or even redeem an itunes gift card so I set up a new login/account with another email account of mine. On the new account I can redeem my gift card and download items onto my ipad2. Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
