I have just updated my itunes and once reset, all of my iTunes content has dissapeared! how do i get it all back?

where do i restore my content from? and not just my music

For general library squiffiness following an upgrade the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

    Restore the songs from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

  • Hi i did not buy any songs from itune and i got a bill for 29.99 plus tax .how can i get my refun back

    Did you buy anything from the App Store? All of those stores are connected to the iTunes Store so that's probably why you got something that said iTunes on it.
    If you bought an app, for example, that was $30 you'll probably see "iTunes Store" on the receipt.

  • I just updated to IOS 5, when I did this my Songs were erased. How do I Get my songs back?

    I just updated to IOS 5, when I did this my Songs were erased. I thought sinced i "Backed - Up" my ipod that my songs would return after the update. WHere are my songs? Whats the purpose of a back-up if i cant get my tunes back? I have about 2000 songs.

    The backup does not contain music or the apps themselves and some other things.  Those need to be in your iTunes library so then can be synced to the iPod during a latter stage of the update process.
    If you are in a country where iCloud has be implimentd then you can redownload music by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    It list s the countrys where there is iCloud.
    If the music wee from CDs, you have to go back to the source.

    i have just updated my 3S and it has failed to activate. what can i do?

    Has the software on your phone been modified before you tried to update the firmware? If yes, jailbreaking the phone could be the reason for your problem.
    If the device has not been jailbroken, try these steps:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

  • I have just updated to Lion and now my folders no longer show number of items on the bottom. Is there a fix for this?

    I have just updated to Lion and now my folders no longer show number of items on the bottom. Is there a fix for this? I allways found that handy. Now I have to click on an icon on the top, This is a backward step if that is now the only way to see the number of items. Am I missing something obvious?

    In the good old days of Snow Leopard, an open Finder folder had a border along the bottom of the window which could show the number of items in that window and the total available space on the hard disk or partition that folder resides on. That bottom border is gone in Lion and those two bits of information are gone with it. Is that what you're talking about? If so, I'd like to learn how to get it back too and "Show Item Info" is not the way.

  • I have just updated my iPad and now cannot access any apps as they just close down straight away. Any ideas why and how to solve?

    I have just updated my iPad and now cannot access any apps as they just close down straight away. Any ideas why and how to solve?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I've also seen it suggested that people try downloading a free app from the store onto the iPad (as that seems to reset something), and then re-try the apps - the free app can then be deleted.

    If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup).  If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost.  Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your  photos are lost too.
    If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

    I thing yu really have a 2G iod. Those can only to to 4.2.1.  If yours is a 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G iPod.  Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one could be either.  To identify your iPod:

    have an iphone4 and my husband merge his numbers with mine and i think it was deleted can you tell me how can he get his number back on his phone

    Do you possibly mean the contacts have been merged?
    If so, where are each of you syncing contacts?  A supported application on the computer? iCloud or another cloud service? An Exchange server?

  • I bought a book on itunes on my pc. I want the book on my ipad.  When I plugged in my ipad to sync it moved all my apps to my pc - useless. how do i get my apps back on my ipad and get the book from my computer to my ipad?

    I bought a book on itunes on my pc. I want the book on my ipad.  When I plugged in my ipad to sync it moved all my apps to my pc - useless. how do i get my apps back on my ipad and get the book from my computer to my ipad?

    Instructions on syncing your iPad can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12311
    and in the accompanying documents linked from that page. Syncing your iPad with iTunes copies items, it doesn't move them. The only way apps would be actually removed from your iPad during syncing is if you had iTunes set to remove them on syncing, so check the appropriate settings in iTunes, set the book to sync as well, and then sync the iPad again.

    I've already submitted my problem to PayPal and they are investigating it. I need to get this reversed and my money back. It's hard enough saving for formula without some ******* buying **** with my information.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    It was a genuine email from iTunes, not a phishing attempt trying to get your account and payment details ?
