Content is missing from my itunes library, how do I get it back?

Use your backup copy of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

I accidentally erased music somehow from my itunes library, how can i get it back?

i accidentally erased music somehow from my itunes library, how can i get it back? I'm not sure how I did it, but I do know something has been wierd ever since. i remember using it and arranging songs, and then, bing! Songs were missing. Please help!
Not quite sure what info you need to answer this. I dont have all my music synced to icloud unfortunately...at least not that i'm aware of.

You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here. If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries. Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer. You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple. On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application. So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

"for me" is missing from my itunes page, how do i get it back ?

i find a ton of great music usually in the "for me" part on itunes but it is not on my itunes right now. anyone else ever have this problem ?

Go into the music store and scroll right to the bottom of the page. Below the My store button, you should find a button to turn on/off "Just for you".

I synched my iphone to 2 laptops and have now lost all the music purchased by my wife in our itunes library, how do i get this back and restore it to both our iphones?

I have recently upgraded my iphone 4 software and thought I'd backed up all my stuff. When I restored the settings only 73 out of 895 songs were downloaded to my Itunes library. I then went on my other laptop with all the old stuff on and tried to synch them. This led to all the music in this itunes library being wiped except for the 73 on my phone.
HOW DO I GET MY MUSIC BACK!!!
I share my music with my wife and we both purchase using different id's but have not had problems before in downloading to our phones. She is now a little peeved with me and any help would be very gratefully received and make my life alot easier

Hello johnohuk,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

After installing Mavericks, my DVD player icon is missing from my launchpad. How do I get it back?

I installed Mavericks yesterday and then tried to watch a movie.That is when I noticed the icon for the dvd player is no longer in the launchpad. If I put the disk in the drive it opens on it own or if I search for DVD player it will come up under a spotlight or finder. How do I get the icon back on my launchpad? I don't want to have to search/insert a movie everytine I want to watch one. I would lik to be able to just click the icon to open the player. Thanks.

cfkola,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
I believe you must be referring to the Solution Center Printer software and not your Control Panel.
Your Solution Center shortcut may just be missing -- or there may be a deeper issue with your printer software.
The easier option might be to reinstall the Full Feature Software for your printer and see if that solves all the troubles at one time.
In most cases, for most printers, the Solution Center has been replaced with the Printer Assistant shortcut. This is just a new program that does about the same things as the Solution Center. Some people like it better. The interface looks a bit different -- many of the features are the same; for example, your scanning and ink check features will be available.
The instructions to (re)install the printer software are provided in this Dragon document:

Sorry. Your info is gone.
You chose to set up your iphone from your daughters backup.
The iphone is designed to be synced with your computer regularly. You should have set up syncing from day one.
As you have failed to sync your information, it is gone.
Very sorry.

ITunes has deleted 1,500 songs off my iTunes library, how can I get them back?

I left my iTunes library opened, when I came back there was a message saying that icloud had been activated and my music had stopped. Then all my music had disappeared except for the ones which I've purchased off iTunes, this being a small minority of my library as I love purchasing the actual CDs. Not happy, what do I do?

The SIM has nothing to do with that. She used your Apple ID to buy apps/music, thus your contacts that were synched with iCloud got replicated on her phone. Any changes she made got reeplicated on her phone. There is no way to recover the deleted contacts unless you backed up your phone.
Your daughter needs to get her own Apple ID.

My daughter accidentally downloaded a virus and my computer crashed hard along with the back up hard drive! I was able to recover just a few item using all the data retrieval software but 90% of my stuff is gone or corrupted including all my itunes. I was told that Itunes would allow a one time restore/ is this correct and if so how do I do this?

My stop,reload,copy cut are missing from my tool bar . how do I get them back

under the file ,edit tool bar You have a set of controls for stop,reload, cut, paste, copy etc, this second row of commands are missing

NOV 2011:- Right click on the toolbar, and click customise. (You might have to go to different parts of the toolbar until it works) Then just drag the icons to the toolbar. Easy, although I don't know why they keep changing things - very frustrating!

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) you will need a third-party program to copy them back from your iPad - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Where is the backup of the media and other important files from the computer? Ultimately, it is the users responsibility to ensure that backups exists. Waiting until there is a problem to decide to do a backup is not smart. Would you wait until a fire started in your home to call the insurance company and inquire about homeowners/renters insurance????
In the event that no backup exists (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files):
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content. They are not required to provide this opportunity.
It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes. On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer. Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.
