HT203167 My computer crashed and i lost all my Itunes media ?!

Recently my computer crashed and I lost all my Itunes Media...I have absolutely no idea what I should do ?!
Could somebody tell me what to do ?

If you have a backup to an external hard disk, then install iTunes and place the backup of C:\users\????\Music\iTunes back into that folder. If you need to redownload old purchases, then go into iTunes and go store -> purchased -> download previous purchases and that will at least get you what you bought from Apple. If you could elaborate on what kind of crash, I might be able to recommend a few other things, but that would be less Apple support and more data recovery.

My computer crashed and I lost all my Itunes music...Need help!!!!

My computer recently crashed, and I never backed up the music on disk, however I do still have the music on my Ipod, but can't transfer it into Itunes. I had copypod before which would've worked now, but I don't want to pay for another copy. Is there any free software out there which will let me copy the music into Itunes without a certain song limit or trial use?
Thanks,

HT203167 My computer crashed and I lost all downloads. How do I recover them?

My computer ceased functioning. When I had it repaired and reinstalled iTunes, most of my music was gone as well as the movie Forks Over Knives that I just purchased. How do I recover them?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Can I transfer music from my iPod touch that was originally burned from CD's or does it only transfer music purchased from Itunes? My computer crashed and I lost all of my music?

My computer crashed and I lost all of my music. I have music still on my Ipod touch but a lot of it was originally burned from CD's onto my computer. Is there any way to transfer this music back to a new computer or will I need to re-burn each individual CD again to get this onto the new computer?

- iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one fo those discussed here:

My computer crashed and I lost all my tunes. I have them on my ipod but need to know how to get them back onto itunes

my computer crashed and I lost all but 2 albums in itunes. Is there a way to get into my old libruary? I have my tunes on my ipod.

Any music purchased through the iTunes store can be downloaded again for free as long as you are signed in with the Apple ID you used for the original purchase. Any other music you had in iTunes should be easily accessible in your system back up or from the CDs you ripped from originally.

HT201302 My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos. I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone. How do I now download those photos to my new computer?

My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos. I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone. How do I now download those photos to my new computer. Same thing with my iTunes music library.

Unfortunately, I did not have the photos stored seperately. When I set up iTunes on the new computer, I clicked "sync photos" and it said it would sync to the photos in the my pictures folder on the computer. This is a new computer, so the folder is empty. I am hesitant to allow the sync, because I do not want to wipe those photos from my iPhone, and never see them again. This is a terrible spot to be in.
I have also lost my iTunes music library for the computer. I subscribed to itunes Match, thinking it would upload my music from my phone to iCloud. It only added 57 songs that I had purchased on the store previously. None of the cd's I added where transferred.

My computer crashed and i lost all my music is there any way to get it back

how can i get the music i purchased off of itunes store back after my computer crashes?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy (not good), then you can transfer from an ipod: File>Transfer Purcahses
You buy one and only one download. it is your responsibility to move copy/backup your purchases.

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?
