I accidentally deleted half of my songs out of iTunes, but I believe they are still backed up somewhere on my computer, is there a way I can re-download them to my library?

We got a new computer, so I was installing iTunes onto it. I believe the music is still somewhere on my computer, because it was downloaded onto the harddrive from our old computer, I just don't know where I would find it. I do have an external harddrive, and I was thinking it may be on there, but I am not sure.

If it was there and you creaded an iPod backup via iTunes then restore from that backup. Otherwise y are out of luck.
Autosyncing
To help prevent the last backup from being overwritten and thus erasing the Messages from the last backup turn off autosyncing so that you have to overtly start a sync. To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

if they are no longer in the app store, you can not get them back.

Hello bigali,
Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
Then check here for the non-purchased items:

You want to rebuild the library first, then sync the ipod.
Here is a good idea for when your done:

Once the Device is being Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

I purchased several songs and they are not showing up in my purchased file. Tried to go online and re-download them but ITunes is not giving me option to download only the ones I am missing. It *****

I contacted Itunes and they told me to go to my account and re-download the songs. I opened my account and found the recent purchases, but they are not recent, there are 250 songs in that list, how come? And ITunes didn't give me an option to download only the ones I am missing. I don't want to download 250 duplicate songs.
The Itunes updates are worst each time, BTW, Just starting to get sick and tired of Mac and Apple and Itunes and all this complicated stuff because of your paranoia of people "stealing" songs, but in fact, who is going to download songs ilegally is going to do it anyway, So all you are doing is to make it difficult for honest people who actually buy the songs and can't have them. I reported the problem several times and didn't get any more answers. Hope this works before I disoute the charges of the songs I don't have.

Hi samfergs,
I'm not sure how the Purchased Playlist decides what to put into it, but if you want to see all of your purchased items, then you need to go to the iTunes Store, and on the right side, under Quick Links, click on Purchased.
Then, click on the Music (or whatever other purchased items tab you want to look at). If you are looking at Music, click on All Songs, and then on "All" or "Not on this Computer" (depending on what you want to see).
Cheers,
GB

Can't get transferred songs to appear on player even though they are in the right folder on new computer

I have moved music from old computer to new one through externaI drive. They are in the proper folder for Itunes to find them (I did authorize the new computer) but they do not appear in the list when I call up nItunes. I did try to import them through the add fule to library, but it only seems to work one siong at a time. I want to add rhem all at one time.

Was the ENTIRE iTunes folder copied, just the iTunes Media, or just the media files themselves?
If properly moved, there should be no issue.
Assuming the ENTIRE iTunes folder was moved:
Close iTunes.
Hold SHIFT and launch iTunes. Continue holding SHIFT until the locate or create a new library option is presented.
Point iTunes to the correct location for the iTunesLibrary.itl file, this will be the folder that was copied from the old computer.
Everything in iTunes on the new coputer should be exactly as it was on the old computer.

Is there any way i can edit downloaded songs with this program?

sorry if this has a very simple answer I am new to macs and am trying to edit songs that Ive downloaded. Basically all Im trying to do is take clips of certain songs (eg. making a file that is the chorus only). Is there any way to do this with GarageBand? or if not is there another program that is already on my mac or one that I can download? any help would be greatly appreciated

please don't post multiple thread with the same question, see the first thread you started.

HT1386 Accidentally deleted my music. Tried syncing in iTunes, but doesn't work! HELP!

My two year old grandson deleted a few apps on my phone, including my music. I synced my phone, and everything seemed to syc ok, including my music.
When I checked my phone, the deleted apps were back on except my music. When I clicked on the Music icon, there was no music there, just a message saying "No Content". You can download music from the iTunes Store. Have tried a few times to get my music back on, but to no avail. Even tried re-setting my phone, but this didn't work either. Can anybody help me? Can't think of what else I can do.

I had the same problem today. Previewed several songs on my Mac (Mountain Lion & signed in with Apple ID). Preview history of what I just played synced to my iPad 3rd generation and iPhone 4 (both IOS 6.0.1) ok but history did not show up in iTunes 11.0.1 ("You don't currently have any preview history"). Then previewed songs on my iPad. Once again, previews showed up on iPad and iPhone but not on Mac. I then cleared the Preview History on my iPad, which also cleared the phone.
I then previewed several songs on the iPad. WONDERS! Now the iPad previews are syncing to the Mac! I previewed several songs on the Mac and these previews now show up in my Mac Preview History, as well as the iPad and iPhone histories.
See if clearing all your History works for you!

Did you try to set it up as new device, as explained in this article?
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If this does not work, use iTunes to set it back to factory settings, which would also install the latest software:

I recently lost all my files on my computer. is there any way I can download all my songs from my ipod to my computer.

can someone tell me if i can download all my music from my ipod through my itunes into my computer. I recently lost all my files on my computer along with my music folder

Music is intended to go from your computer to the iPod. Going the other way is contrary to the design and is not trivial. To extract music from your iPod requires the assistance of third party utilities.
If you purchased music from the iTunes Store, no worries, you can simply download it again with the one caveat that the music is still available in the Store.
For other music, the following might be helpful:

It sounds like you have a hacked/unofficially unlocked iphone. When you update, it will indeed lock it back, as it should.
The ONLY place that can legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which they are locked and no U.S. carrier does this.
