I just want my music back.
Allllright.
So iTunes has been deleting my library every time I open it, and I'd really like to have my music back. So I went to bestbuy last night and bought Tunes Plus (I was assured that this would work), and of course..it doesn't.
My problem is that the software reads my iPod, and knows that there are songs on there, and it's just not showing up. I know my iPod has to be enabled for disk use, and I did that.
Has anyone used Tunes Plus or know of a program that actually works?
(I have a video iPod and windows XP)
THANKS.

How do I get my music off of my phone and onto a new desktop...Without my old computer?
<Subject Edited by Host>I'd try the following user tip:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device -
Had to replace my hard drive. Now I can't get into i-tunes to enjoy or purchase new music.Are my i-tunes stored in my old hard drive ? Do I have to take my old hard drive to a computer store and have them placed on something called a flash drive ? I'm having the same trouble retrieving my Ancestry.com infor.
Yes, all you iTunes data are on the old drive. Get an external enclosure in which you may install the old drive in order to connect it to your computer and copy your iTunes data to your new drive.
Everything is on your old drive unless you copied it to the new drive. -
hi, have a iphone/macbook itunes prob. i connected my phone to mac to add songs, and it wiped 99% of music from my phone. on the mac it still lists the songs on my phone but they are greyed out. can anyone help? very frustrated and want my music back.
I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

Can someone please just help me figure out how to update this stupid phone(iPhone 4)without losing anything? I somehow have more than one Apple ID on this,but I just want my music and my pictures to stay and I'm terrified of losing these things. I have a lot of music from old CDs on here,and for some reason I can't even transfer them manually onto my computer. I'm not tech savvy whatsoever. Someone please help,having my music is the the whole reason I still have this phone.

How do I remove all traces of 'album'? I do not want artwork, blank place holders, titles or artists sorted by album? I just want my music listed by title, artist or genre.
1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad -
Lost phone by transit...I just want my phone back
Ok so my iphone 5s which was in top condition because i went out and bought an otter box. So over time i released i started having problems with my speakers. For example: if i put my phone on my speaker the person on the other side could not hear me. So i checked my warranty and since i got the phone in January its still covered. The phone is an gold edition iphone 5s. I called apple and they sent me a box where i could place my phone in and ship it back to apple. Now i have done this many times before with my other iphones because for some reason i always get broken iphones without softwares. So i get the box on 09/13/2014 and on Tuesday night which goes to Wednesday mail time 9/17/2014 my phone is in the mail place waiting to be shipped. Now i go online 9/21/201 and see that for the service request is still on step 1. Now as i noted i have done this plenty of times before with apple and i have gotten a replacement/returned phone within three days. So since it hasnt moved from step one i was worried and contacted apple. They have no information on my phone or where it might be at all. Fedex has no idea where my phone might be. My apartment has had no returned products back to my place. So i contact apple again and apparently their customer service has no online chat you have to call. Thing is i dont have a phone and cant borrow one. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET MY PHONE BACK, MY LITTLE MIND TOLD ME NOT TO SEND IT IN BUT I DID ANYWAY AND NOW IM STUCK WITHOUT A PHONE AND APPLE DOESNT CARE. I WILL NEVER EVER SEND MY PHONE TO EVER GET REPAIRED IF I GET THIS ONE BACK. I PULLED ALL A.S IN SCHOOL SO THAT I COULD BUY MYSELF THIS GIFT AND NOW ITS GONE.
I WILL TAKE IT BACK UNPAIRED AND WILL EVEN PAY FOR THE FREAKING SHIPPING, I JUST WANT MY PHONE BACK
P.S. IVE TALKED WITH ONLINE SUPPORT AND THEY KEEP SAYING IS THAT THEIR NOT QUALIFIED FOR MY TYPE OF PROBLEM AND KEEP TRANSFERRING ME TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH 10MINUTE WAITS BETWEEN PEOPLE AND THEN THEY KEEP SAYING THEY ARE TRULY SORRY BUT DONT DO A SINGLE THING. ALL THEY SAY IS THAT ITS LOST IN TRANSIT.
DO YOU THINK THERES ANY CHANCE I CAN GET MY PHONE BACK????I would assume you copied the tracking number on the package? If so, simply go to Fedex (or whatever carrier it was) and check that tracking number and/or call them to ask what happened to it. And/or you do have the record of Apple sending you an email about the matter?
If Fedex (or Apple) has no record and you do not have any proof that you shipped it, I don't believe that anyone can do anything. Not sure if your home insurance would cover this - probably not, but it's worth a phone call. -
I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!
This is true of course, but doesn't cover the situation where some files are in the iTunes Media folder and others are on an external drive. In my case I keep my music in the Media folder and all my films on an external drive (there are too many to have on the internal drive). In iTunes 11, and before, it was easy to add those external files by holding down the alt/opt key while dragging to the sidebar. In iTunes 12 this is no longer possible. There are several workarounds: use TuneSpan to move the file after it's been added; delete the file from the Media folder and empty the trash then use iTunes Get Info which will report the file is missing and allow you to locate it; constantly switch the Add to iTunes toggle on and off as required. All of these require a lot more work than just holding down the alt/opt key while adding.
It constantly gets harder. -
I have Os Lion on my mac book pro, im not a fan of this because i cant run many games, i have the disk for snow leopard my machine came with but i get a error saying "unable to unmount disc" when i try erase my hard drive i just want OS SL back any help?
many thanks Carl.You must boot from another drive in order to erase the system drive.
Try starting up with Snow Leopard DVD inserted and C depress. That should get you booted from the DVD. Then start Disk Utitlity from DVD and erase the disk then you should be able to install Snow Leopard.
Remember that everything will be removed from the disk when you erase it and install Snow Leopard so backup first.

I purchased iTunes Match, and all I noticed that it did was pull songs I purchased from iTunes many years ago. Songs that I don't want anymore. I just want songs that weren't purchased from iTunes to get uploaded and converted to better quality. Did iTunes do this for me, and I just didn't see it? Or did I purchase something, and didn't get the expected results? How can I get iTunes to upload and convert my lower quality music?
iTunes 10.5.3.3 on a PC.That's odd for sure.
Anyway, first set the iPod to manage the songs manually.
Then, select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, and click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear". The songs should be deleted from the iPod.
Now you can change the iPod back to your auto sync preference. -
I just bought a new computer. Itunes only offers me the option of erase and sync, as I can only have it sync'd with one computer. I want to move my music to this computer from my ipod. Is this possible, or do I have to go back to my cds and upload everything from there? I just want to be able to move my music from my ipod to the new computer.
You need to transfer your iTunes Library from the old computer to the new one - then you can carry on syncing as normal. You can't move non-purchased music from an iPod to iTunes using iTunes. For purchased music, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases...

It seems there are so many problems with itunes the "Advice People" can't keep up .
I don't use an iPod or buy music from the store .
I got iTunes when it was just a cool music player and that's all I want . With every new version there seems to be nothing but problems and now my version is so old there's no documentation available for it .
Does anybody know of another player without all the iTunes baggage ?

You know, the only people who come to the fora are
people who have problems, and the occasional one who
is willing to offer help. So, judging anything by
what you see here is like going to your local
Emergency Room to assess the health of the Community.
Good point.
For what it's worth, I have successfully updated
iTunes all the way from when it was first released
without a single hitch any time. I have a 100GB
library on an external HD, three iPods synced to it,
Album Art, the whole nine yards. The only problem
I've ever had was when I accidently deleted
the Library. And then deleted the backup. Learned a
lot about File Recovery.
It seems the library system is a major problem with many users and I suspect it has something to do with ipods and the music store and DRM and anything to do with copying music . Like why can't I import my mp3 backup discs directly into iTunes ? I know there are ways around this , that seems to be the way everything is in iTunes and I imagine with video and radio it's twice as complicated . I could probably fix things if I had access to 4.7 articles . What's that about ? Is it to force you to upgrade ?
Some people have genuine problems on these boards, a
lot more have issues that can be resolved by reading
the Help file - ideally before trying
something. But most people who have installed iTunes
have no problems at all.
That said, if you're looking for a simple mp3 player,
do a search on http://www.macupdate.com using mp3
player as your search term. It'll give more than 50
options.
The problem with that is most searches come up with little mp3 devices like the ipod .
I found one player (or perhaps juck-box that I may try called AUDIONhttp://www.panic.com/audion/ >
