  • My mac book pro crashed and lost all my data.  Can I re-install my music and photos from my ipad?  how do I do that

    Can I reinstall music and photos from my ipad

    Hi Stephen,
    You'd need to use a 3rd party program to remove the content off your iPad, iTunes is only designed to sync purchased content off the iPad (content that was purchased on the iPad). There are several 3rd party offerings, a popular one is called Senuti.

  • HT203167 Computer crashed and lost all music.  How can I get a listing of all prior purchases and get them downloaded again?

    Compaq computer crashed and lost all music that was on the computer. How would I go about getting a listing of all purchased items and download them again? I know when i first got set up it said I could download up to 2 times when purchased and I have only downloaded once.  But need a listing of songs as well.

    One thing that I also recommend in the future is to back your iTunes library up relatively regularly.  You can get your purchases in the cloud just fine, typically, but at the very least, it will save some time by backing it up.

  • I reset my computer to orig manufacturers speifications and lost all my purchased Itune music before this year.  I've been a member for ten years.  Itunes does not have a record.  Is there anything else I can do to get them back.

    I had to reboot my desktop computer to original manufacturers specifications and all my purchased Itune music was deleted from my computer.  I didn't back up my itunes because they advertise they keep a record of your purchased music.  I contacted Itunes and they have stated they only have a record of purchases made this year.  I've been a member for ten years.  Any ideas on how to get back my purchased music?  Also, I have an old Ipod Nano that I haven't used for quite some time because the battery didn't hold its charge, and it has some of my older purchased music.  Itunes said I can't get the music on my old ipod downloaded back onto my computer, any ideas on this?

  • Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes?

    Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes without losing them?

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

    I cant seem to download and install the latest iphone software update. I have tried since the release and have been unsuccessful on more than 7 occasions and lost all the data on the process. Anyone have that problem an how do I fix this problem?

    Hi
    Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
    And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
    I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference?

  • I have updated my 4s iphone to ios 6.1.3 and have trouble connecting it to wi fi . i tried to back up it on itunes and then restore it but now i have left with a phone that still doesnt connect to wi fi and  lost all my data. anyone knows how to fix it?

    If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, there is a hardware problem.

  • How can I move my personal music to my new laptop?

    My family has always kept all of our music on our home computer. Now that im going away to university I have my own laptop and I want to move all of my music to my own laptop so my laptop can become my Iphone's home computer for syncing. All of my music is located in one playlist on the home computer. We have a backup of our entire library and a backup of my phone on an external harddrive. I was wondering the easiest way to move al my music to my new laptop?

    Ideally you want to start with a clone of the existing library so that your device is happy to sync with it. If you don't want to copy all of the media only to throw a lot of it away again then it would be possible to duplicate the library files to another path, connect to the copy there, discard the tracks from that copy that you don't want, then consolidate your playlist files to your new media folder, leaving the originals (and the original library) in place.
    See Make a split library portable for some background on which manipulations of the library are valid.
    A brief version goes like this:
    Copy library files and Album Artwork folder to an empty iTunes folder at the root of a drive, e.g. X:\iTunes
    Shift-start iTunes and connect to X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
    Change the media folder to X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, do not consolidate files if prompted
    Create a smart playlist matching all the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not <Your Playlist> (slightly more efficient if everything you want is in that one playlist)
    Select this playlist, press Ctrl+A to select all items, then Shift+Delete to delete them, do not send any files to the recycle bin if prompted
    Clean out other areas of the library, e.g. Podcasts, Movies, TV Shows, etc.
    Use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate files to consolidate the stuff you want into X:\iTunes\iTunes Media
    Move/copy the folder X:\iTunes to your laptop's Music folder
    Shift-start-iTunes to reconnect to the original library

  • HT4527 How can I move my playlists/music from my Ipod Touch to Windows Laptop?

  • How can I move my iTunes music to a new iTunes account?

    I need to unsync my iPhone from my spouces iPhone and I understand the only way to do this is to have my own iTunes account.  Can someone please help me with instructions on how to move my music to my new iTunes account?

    Well according to what I said earlier about an account being the online account for purchasing music and what you said earlier about what you meant was indeed the online account, not what you have on your computer, then leilaboxergirl's answer was not correct.  Since you marked it as correct then what you meant was not an account after all but files from your iTunes collection. 
    By the way, you can do it all without a CD just by dragging tracks to a flash drive, then dragging them to an iTunes window on another computer.  Alternatively, if the computers are on the same home network you can use Home Sharing and do it all wirelessly.
    Incidentally, you don't "burn songs from disc to that account".  You will rip songs from the CD to the iTunes collection or library on your computer.  Burning is what you do to put tracks on a CD not get them from a CD to a computer.
    Terminology is important here or confusion will end up with you doing something wrong another time and wipe all your files or something.

  • HT4914 I no longer have a working computer. Am I able to move my purchased music to my new iPad or have I lost my entire library. I do have my music on my iPhone. Will that be able to be transferred to my iPad?  Thanks.

    Do I need a working computer to move my purchased I tunes to my new iPad?  I have the downloads on my iPhone 5 but I don't know if I can use that like a computer. Thanks

    You can't sync music from an iPhone to an iPad. If they are iTunes purchases then, depending upon what country that you are in and whether they are still in the store, then you might be able to re download them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app on your iPad. Otherwise you will need to use a computer.
