Can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

Have you not got a backup of your content ? iTunes will only copy back purchases that you made from Apple. For music from other sources you will need to find a program from another source which can copy them back from the phone - if you do a search on google you might find some. Or depending from where you got them from can you re-download them from those sites ?

  • How do I remove photos from iPhone 5 without their also being deleted from other devices?

    I have albums on my iPhone and would like to delete them but, if I do so, they will also delete from my iPad, due to syncing through iCloud.  It seems, even if I turn iCloud off, temporarily, they will delete from the iPad next time iCloud is turned on.
    I suspect that, even if I shift the albums to a flash drive, the same thing will happen.
    Thank you

    I don't understand the difference between Photo Stream and Camera Roll.
    Camera Roll is the "local" storage on your device, where photos and videos that you take get saved.  This can take up a lot of space, and since Camera Roll is part of your backup that makes your backup very large too.
    My Photo Stream is the iCloud storage for photos.  This also takes up space, but not as much because they're not full resolution.  Depending on your device settings, when you take a picture it is saved in Camera Roll and then automatically uploaded to your My Photo Stream (for the purpose with sharing with other devices on your iCloud account).  My Photo Stream is meant to be temporary as it only holds the last 30 days' photos and only up to 1000 ... as these limits are reached, the oldest photos get deleted from iCloud.  Note that videos that you take do not get uploaded to My Photo Stream.
    Think of Camera Roll as you would think of a digital camera, and My Photo Stream as a temporary cloud-based storage area for sharing.
    So as roaminggnome says above, make a habit of transferring photos and videos from Camera Roll to your computer and then delete them from the device.  If you want to keep them on the device, still transfer and delete them but then make a designated folder on your computer for the things you want on your device and sync them back to your iPhone by telling iTunes to sync to this folder on your computer.

  • I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts

    I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts. These are songs I copied way back when from CDs onto my computer.  I can play them on my computer just fine in iTunes too. Status bar says "Updating files" and "Preparing to Copy" but nothing actually copies to my phone. My phone shows the songs greyed out and circles to the left of the song in the Store column and the songs never get copied onto my phone.
    My guess is that there is something I am missing or something I am doing wrong.
    Any advice/help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Can not copy any songs or videos from iTunes to iPhone after reinstall Windows 7

    I am experiencing trouble with my iPhone. I have to reinstalled my Windows 7 OS due to some trouble. When I reinstalled everything include iTunes back, it can not automatically back up my iPhone to iTunes like it used to. Also, I can not copy any songs and/or videos from iTunes to my iPhone. Fortunately, the application can be restored thanks to the new iTunes version.
    Does anyone know how could I restore all my previous services I got before the reinstallation? Help!!
    Many thanks..

    Did you create a backup of your music and videos before you reinstalled windows?

  • HT1391 How can I copy new songs from other sites back to my windows folders?

    I just bought an ipod and downloaded itunes on it and my lap-top, (where I use windows media player.) Today I bought some songs from another website on my computer, but I couldn't find them in the "my music" folders, I signed on to itunes and found them there. I checked, and my preferences for that site hadn't been changed; how can I copy those songs back into windows? Itunes copied my entire library from my computer...

    I'm replying to myself:
    I figured this out; just go to the itunes folder, open it, and then move the song, or album, into that artist's folder in "my music." I thought about doing this, then I read the cautions about renaming, or moving, tracks and hesitated. It worked just fine.

    You don't.  You sync your devices with itunes.

  • My computer says it can't copy some songs to my iPhone because my computer isn't authorized, but it is.

    My computer says it can't copy some songs to my iPhone because my computer isn't authorized, but it is.

    Hi Sonnova,
    Do you happen to have more than one Apple ID? If you've authorised your computer using the one you're signed into then the most likely cause is that the iTunes purchases were made on another Apple ID.
    To check you bought them on the Apple ID you're signed into, you can go into iTunes, click on Store and View My Account. From there you should have a Purchase History option where you can check the songs were bought on that account.
    If you have another Apple ID then try to sign into that one (sign out of current one and into new one under Store in iTunes), then Transfer Purchases again and you should have no issues.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't copy a song from library into playlist. Screen message says "song can't be found." I know it's there, how do I access it?.

    Can't copy a song from library into playlist. Screen message says "song can't be found." I know it's there, how do I access it?.

    I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
    After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
    OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
    Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
    OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file.   This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
    Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
    There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings.  Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus.   That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
    Good luck!  The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

  • Itunes can't copy some songs to my ipod

    So I keep getting a warning from itunes that it can't copy 3 songs from my library to my ipod. This is what the error says word for word.
    "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because one or more errors occurred." It than lists the 3 songs that weren't transfered. The weird thing is that they songs were originally on my ipod but since I lowered the bitrate of all my songs, now they can't be on my ipod. It's weird because I've never had this issue until I changed the bitrate. And the songs that are giving me troubles are songs from different albums and different means of getting them. One was from a CD, the other from digital download and the other was from iTunes it's self. So... their good songs and I miss listening to them. What do I do?

    Hello the_atm
    If the songs are having issues syncing to your iPod, see if you can create a new version of the songs in either MP3 or AAC format and then sync it across again. You said one of the songs was a purchase from iTunes, try deleting the songs and then download it again if it will not convert.

    Hello joelfromn. charleston,
    It seems you are unable to activate iMessage on a device with no carrier service. The following article provides information regarding activation issues:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    Check your device settings
    Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.
    Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure that your time zone is set up correctly.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Can i piggy back to my iphone for wireless connection

    can i piggy back to my iphone to receive wireless connection for an ipad

    You can, but only if you have that privelege through your iPhone carrier. In the US, AT&T and Verizon both charge for the ability to do this. Not sure about Sprint. Some carriers in other countries allow it at no additional fee.
