HT3819 computers in 2 different countries, how to transfer library to new computer

Hi does anyone know if it is possible to transfer my library from a computer in Australia to my new computer in Uk??

Hi...
Purchases made from one country cannot be used in another.
And be aware for iTunes purchases, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

Transfer library to new computer after old one crashed

My old PC crashed and the data partition has completely been erased so now all of my music only exists in my iPod. I have a new laptop and would like to transfer my library to the new computer, however I'm worried that it may just erase the music if I just plug it into the new computer. The current setting is on auto-synch and not manual. Can I just install iTunes onto my new computer, set it to manual, and plug in the iPod? Suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions, Tim!
I'll answer your question in just a minute but before doing so I'd like to say that I hope you take this as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
If you place any importance on your playlists and the data they depend on, you will want to include your iTunes Library files in your back-up regimen as well.
Anyways, that's the lecture. The answer to your problem should be found in this post:

Good Luck! But once your music is back on your computer, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

How to transfer library when old computer gone and old iPod gone

I recently got a new iPod Nano (lost the old one). I transferred some songs from my library to the iPod but not all the ones I want now. Then my old laptop died completely--no access to library. I can SEE the old songs on iTunes. How do I transfer them to new computer if the old computer is gone? This is driving me crazy!

I wonder if you might know how to answer this somewhat related question: I, unfortunately, copied my iTunes music library onto an external hard drive before I read about the consolidating option. Stupidly, I then did the consolidation. Now I have each song listed twice in my library and one of each is an orphan, so I have to manually locate each one. That's a lot of music! Is there a way to undo my stupidity?

Trying to transfer ipod to new computer. It is telling me to autharize computer. Had another ipod on same account, it gone now. Don't have password or any info about it. What do I do?

The password is for your iTunes account. Not for your old iPod. Enter your Email and password will give you access to all the music you bought from iTunes. If you forget it then I dont know how to help you there guess your SOL.

You restore the media to your new computer using the backup you made of your old computer before it died. You did backup your computer, right?
