i am now receiving a message asking me to register the product?
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

    Hello Nahuali
    The music will be there once you sign in with your Apple ID that used for purchases. Check out the article below to know the steps on how to make that happen.

  • Downloaded itunes onto new computer

    I have an older ipod touch. Just downloaded itunes onto a new computer I had not used with the ipod yet. Itunes downloaded fine, I purchased some new songs, but then couldn't get those songs to sync onto my ipod. I finally got the new songs onto the ipod, but then it erased all of my previously purchased songs. All of the songs are still in the libaray in itunes on the computer, but I can not figure out how to get them ALL onto the ipod. Ideas?

    You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you sync with another library your iPod will be erased and the media replaced with what is in the library of the second computer/library.
    Try following thes instrctions:

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and a Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • New Computer, want to upload songs onto new computer

    I just bought a new I-MAC and want to get all of my music onto the new computer, but when I hookup my i-pod, it says I can only sync with one computer and I have already done this on another computer(it is a PC that has recently died). I have heard about "rippers" but there has to be an easier way to do this. I am sure I'm not the first one to encounter this, and I have looked for a way to fix this but haven't been able to find one...I am still learning the Mac operating system.
    Thanks for the help

    Apple doesn't support the transferring of music from your iPod to your iTunes. Only iTunes to iPod. So to do this you will need to download a third party program that will help copy your music from your iPod back to your computer, or there are a couple manual methods you can check out.

    Personally I was in the exact position you are, I used Senuti to take the music off my Pc formated iPod and put it on my new Mac. It was easy, worked perfect, took me about an hour to get it off and reload it all back to my iPod. Saved me a lot of time and headaches, Good Luck

  • Itunes won't sync old Itunes onto new computer.

    I just got a new computer and installed Itunes and signed in. My library had nothing there. I authorized the computer, and deauthorized my old computer. I plugged my ipod into my new computer, and it recognized it,  but didn't update my empty library. I clicked on "On This Ipod" and all my music from my old library was there. I looked at the summary of syncing at the music section, and it will empty my ipod completely and put my empty library on my ipod, and I do not want that. My question is, how do I get my old library onto my new computer?

    when I click my iphone, everything is blank.
    Do you mean there's no text in the summary pages?

  • Put H.Drive with iTunes onto new computer...lost playlist and ratings

    My main computer that had iTunes on it crashed the other day, my motherboard was fried. So I put the hard drive with the iTunes into another computer. The iTune files are not corrupted, but I have lost my playlist and ratings.
    Is there a way to recover my old playlist and ratings?

    Yes there may be.
    iTunes operates as a database of information for your music files. The actual music files are stored on your PC, not within iTunes. iTunes keeps absolute references of the music file location and other information in its database file. This allows iTunes to use music files from any location on the PC: different directories/folders on the main HD, another internal drive, an external drive, or a network drive (or any combination of the above).
    Each song reference has a specific and hardcoded location (both drive letter & path) so iTunes can find and play (or sync) it. Move the file, change the path, re-map the drive it is on, shut down or remove the Drive, and iTunes will lose the file (giving you the '!' of a ‘Broken Link’). Lose, move or corrupt the ‘iTunes Music.itl’ file and your complete Library will ‘vanish’.
    If you delete, corrupt, or otherwise lose your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file, you will end up with a ‘blank’ Library within iTunes. Nine times out of ten, your underlying music files are still on the PC. They can be ‘re-Added’ via the File==>Add Folder/File menu command, but you will lose some of the music meta-data. Recovering your Library via backup copies of the iTunes database file, or from importing the XML file is always preferable.
    By your placing the previous C: drive (I'm assuming) into another PC now reading it as the H: drive, iTunes is either looking at a blank Library database file, or reading the old one, but looking for the music on the C: drive where it was before (I'll guess the former).
    IF you can put all the music on the C: drive into the exact same path as it was previously
    AND you can place a copy of your previous ITL database file into the '..\My Music\iTunes' folder on the C: drive
    THEN when you open iTunes, it should restore your complete Library.
    Post back if you have questions or if you need to clarify your exact HD situation (I may have misread your meaning...).

  • I cannot get my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even get google to open. I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer.

    I cannot get my iTunes library/music from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even open a browser.I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer. I disconnected my old computer so I will have to reconnect it I am sure. thank you for any help. Last time I transferred I used a product I purchased. That was a long time ago.

    First of all make sure that you've definitely backed up the movies to your external hard disc.
    In iMovie click on any event you don't want, go to the file menu and select 'move event to trash'. Then do the same for any unwanted projects - 'move project to trash'. Quit out of iMovie and empty the trash.
    Hope that helps!

  • Moving ITunes off old computer back onto new computer

    I imagine this question is not new and has been addressed, but I seem to find conflicting answers. I am getting a new computer. How do I move ITunes library off old computer on to new computer while keeping playlists intact? Can I copy the folder to an external hard drive, change media folder location in preferences to ext hard drive, install ITunes on new computer, move folder back, and change folder location back to new computer?

    I can see where my response was wrong now, thanks for that
    No worries here. Just want to make sure the correct way to do it gets pointed out.
    When messing owth the files, users need to understand the differences between *iTunes library* and *iTunes media folder*.
    iTunes library consists of everything in iTunes (iTunes folder and all media in iTunes, regardless of where it is located).
    iTunes media folder is usually located inside the iTunes folder (doesn't need to be) but it can be welsewhere. Also, medcia files can be located anywhere and not necessarily inside the iTunes media folder location shown in iTunes prefs > Advanced.
    The support article I referred to can be used to move the iTunes library to the external hard drive the OP referred to
    Actually, the article you linked to moves only the *iTunes media folder* for use with the same iTunes library on the same computer. If you only copy the iTunes media folder to a new computer, iTunes will be empty.
    It does not move any of the *iTunes library files*, which contain the playlists.
    and then again from there to the new computer, which is what you are also suggesting
    My suggestion copies the entire iTunes library (including playlists, artwork, ratings, etc.), and the iTunes media to a new location/computer and the iTunes will see it just like it was on old computer.

  • ITunes was on a drive destroyed by virus; how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

    how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

    If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D

  • Computer destroyed .. how to get purchases onto new computer

    I'm pretty much computer illiterate except for surfing the internet and using Word.
    I purchased several songs from itunes onto a computer which was destroyed (fire). I have a new computer (Latitude with Windows XP) and although I see all my old purchases listed when i look up my account, I don't know how to get them onto my new computer.
    Can someone help me? Thanks.

    Click here and fill out the form to ask for a free redownload; if your request isn't granted, you need to purchase the songs again to get them back.
    Apple pays the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts and album artwork.
