How do I get my music back when I got iPhone5s??

WHen I got iPhone 5s I lost thousands of songs & a lot of apps. How do I get them back? I also cannot download any apps to my phone now. And can't sync.

If they were purchased through iTunes and App store, just go to your purchased.
Click app store icon, once loaded click more or updates on bottom right of screen.
Once there click purchased, Then select "Not on this iPhone"
Click the cloud icon for items you want back on your device.

HT4527 If i restored my iphone and lost all my music, how can I get my music back when im on another computer? My last computer broke, and this is a family members..Can I just sign in and find my music? Or how do I do it when this is someone elses laptop?

I need help, I couldnt get into my iphone because I forgot the password and I couldnt hook my iphone up to the computer with all my music on it. So im wondering how to redownload that music from another computer that had already had someone elses account programed into it. I can almost get my purchased music but it says im not authorized. I DONT KNOW WHAT to do

If your music was purcansed from the iTunes Store and your country allow is you can redownload it
Login to itunes as yourself on this computer then

You will also need to authorise that computer so you can play the content.
Ctrl B to turn on the top menu
Store > Authorise this Computer...
Type in your Apple ID and password and authorise.

I enabled the backup, but when i went to use the backup, the phone recovered everything except the music.

Of course your music was lost - unless you uncheck sync music, you're syncing with another music library. You'll have to sync your phone with the other/original computer to the music back.

I connected my phone to computer and when I did I needed an update on my phone. when I did this all of my music on phone disappeared. How do I get my music back?

Resync it from your iTunes library. Music is not included in your backup.

Wow, you didn't make a backup of your files first?
You shoudl have come here first for help before doing that.

All I can say is make sure you have the same account name on the computer like before, even if you have to create a new user under System Preferences>accounts, then log into your itunes account with that and try to reverse sync from the iPhone like you would normally.
Apple doesn't expect one to go backwards, so they are not all that friendly, you may have to ask around on MacRumors for third party software that can reverse sync from iOS devices.
Good luck

When I try to go onto itunes it says its corrupted and needs to be re-installed? I've been trying to do this but it still does the same thing. How do I get my music back?

My itunes comes up corrupted and won't let me into my music? How do I get my music back?

Is it the application that says it is corrupted, or is it the library? Precision and little details are important and helpful when you provide them with the question.
If it is the library, try rebuilding it.

I wish I could help. There are numerous threads about missing music but last I looked, no solution. You might want to read through them anyway.

Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

Itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

I have read the the advice you gave, and I had already tried that. It did not help.
When I tried to download an album with nine songs, (I have paid for the complete album), two songs were missing. One of them has showed up/disappeared a couple of times, but with a cloud/arrow-symbol next to it, what I thought to be a symbol for downloading from the cloud. When I click it, it starts a downloading process, and then I am told it cannot be done, "please try again later". The other song is nowhere to be seen. The song with the cloud/arrow-symbol, I bought 3 times, once with the album, twice just the song. That didn't change matters. iTunes tells me I have downoladed all songs I have purchased.
I do not really understand why you do not understand what I am writing, I only describe what happens when I use iTunes.
If a person want to use iCloud, one needs an iPhone, iPad or an iPod Touch. That information is not given until you have downloaded and installed the iCloud program. That is why I have it on my computer, but cannot use it. To set up an iClod account, you have to connect one of the above mentioned devices. I don't have one, so I cannot do it.
If you want the (13013) problem explained, I suggest you google it. I am not the only one to have that problem.
I am thankful that you spend time on trying to help me, but I cannot explain things clearer than this.

I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. after much prompting. Now my music is gone! (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back on it??

I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. -- after much prompting from iTunes. Now my music is GONE (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back?? I'm really bummed! Everything shows in iTunes, but it's not synching right. So glad I updated. NOT.

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

Olp PC crashed, new PC now how do I get my music back?

Have new PC now. Saved all folders from old PC HDD. Will install iTunes 7.6 on new PC but how should I get my music back from the old PC's HDD? My iPod contains music purchased from iTunes, plus music from alot of CD's I own. WOuld like to recover music from my old HDD rather than synching from iPod (which I don't know how to do anyway!)

Yes, just delete the duplicates but make sure to keep at least one copy!
Actually it might be easiest to start over - totally clear your library, and make sure this copy setting is turned off
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61658
then clear out your new PC's music folder.
Then add everything back from your old hard drive.
You only have to authorize one song for the whole PC to get authorized:

HT4972 after downloading ios5.1.1 how do you get your music back on your ipod?

after downloading ios5.1.1 how do you get your music back on your ipod

Sync it from your iTunes library
Redownload iTunes purchases by
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If it was not in your iTunes library and you updated via iTunes you will have to get the music again sinve synced media like apps and music are not include din the iPod backup that iTunes makes.

I downloded music using a different apple id on my ipad then i changed my id to match my iphone but it isnt showing my music i bought with my other id on icloud. how can i get my music back!?

i downloded music using a different apple id on my ipad then i changed my id on my ipad to match my iphone but it isnt showing my music i bought with my old ipad apple id on icloud. how can i get my music back!?

It won't show on iCloud because iCloud is associated with a specific Apple ID. The music should be on your computer's iTunes and a Sync will put it on the iPad (be sure to configure iTunes properly). If you want to get it from iCloud, I think that you need to temporarily change your ID back to the old one but I've never done that myself.
