"i have no clue where the back up is "
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your files/docs/music/pics/etc from your computer on an external hard drive/dvds/cds/flash drive/etc.

  • Itunes crashed and I have all my music on my Ipod and computer in files that will not all open, that is irreplacable. I do not remember ever using a encyrtion code so I am confused on saving my music.what do I do?

    Very Frustrated and Wasted Money Please Help Me...... Itunes crashed and all of my libraries would not download, the songs that did came back 3/4 times which caused me to put everything on my new Hard Drive,I am have a bunch of files and libraries from Itunes with music that will not upload back to Itunes and I have a bunch on my IPOD that is irreplacable....On top of all these this I do not remember my encryption code but never remember locking it either. Please tell me what to do to save my music or reset the code and do a new one and how do I save this music,I see it on my library when I plug it up.Also what file do I look for for all the purchased music I had? Also my Remote acts up which never happened to me as well...

    What do you mean by encryption code?
    - Do yu mean the for some reason when you want to restore from backup iTunes asks for the password?
    - Do you mean that it has a screen-lock passcode and you do not remember the passscode?
    Please provide more clear information. I do not really understand your poblem. I can't tell whee the music is, or what will not "upload".

  • ITunes crashed and I lost my downloaded games

    I upgraded to iTunes 7 on my iMac and downloaded a game.
    I never got it to my ipod before the application crashed and now it no longer appears in my iTunes library.
    What can I do?

    I have same problem. Bought a game, downloaded it to my mac - it showed up for about two seconds in Itunes and then Itunes crashed and the game disappeared.
    I cannot sync my Itunes properly anymore. Songs and photos sync ok, but then it locks up!
    Anyone know a fix?

  • ITunes Crashes when I eject iPod

    I have a problem with my iPod Classic. My iPhone 4 and iPad 2 are both fine when I eject them. It's just my iPod Classic. When I eject it iTunes crashes and in Finder my iPod is all greyed out. I have to remove my iPod from my dock, then I have to Force Quit iTunes and then relaunch Finder to get everything back to Normal.
    I have tried to restore my iPod. It downloaded the software and then it seems to be thinking about restoring it, then 10 minutes later nothing's happened and iTunes has stopped responding so I have to Force quit it again!
    I've seen a post about an iPod nano having the same problems on Snow Leopard, as I seem to have started to have these problems since I upgraded to OSX Lion and updated iTunes to the latest software.
    If anyone can shed some light on this it would be great.

    In the end I rebuilt my Mac, backed everything up using Time Machine and then reinstalled Lion. I was having so many problems with iTunes and Lion. It was the only thing left to do.
    I've had no problems since. One thing I'll add is that I had Dick Useage enable on my iPod Classic. I unchecked this also. Still no issue with iTunes or Finder when I've been ejecting it.

  • ITunes crashes; won't sync iPod

    I have recently switched PowerBooks with my brother. To make the switch I used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the contents of the HDD from one PowerBook to another. Everything is working well except that the first time I tried to sync my 5G 80GB iPod iTunes crashed and won't sync.
    I have determined it is iTunes and not the iPod that is crashing is because when I force quite iTunes the iPod can then be used.
    To troubleshoot this I have tried restoring the iPod; deleting the iTunes .plist; contacted Apple and asked them to de-authorize all of the computers I have authorized to play. I have not heard back from Apple on that one yet. If anyone has any other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

    I'm not sure what I did, but the problem is gone.

  • My itunes crashes and I can't open it all. HELP

    My itunes crashes and I can't open it all. Just installed the latest version 10.5.1. I can't even get it to open to try and figure out what is wrong. Can I uninstall it and reinstall the less recent version which was working? Help!!
    I am not a computer guru, the reason that I love my MacBook Pro is that I don't have to worry about it, now I am worrying, because I can't get into my itunes at all. I would trash the new version of itunes and find an older version (I did try reinstalling 10.5.1) as long as I was reassured that I wouldn't lose all my music.
    Thanks all.

    Sorry to hear.
    Wow, first iPad crisis with vs 5 & 501, now this?
    I see the update waiting right now for my MBP, and is why I'm here to see what's up.
    On the software update panel, it's all about cloud service.
    Looks like 10.5 is the end of the road for me.
    I can see having gaming on cloud, but with the work I put into my tunes, no way.
    We'll see how people react as time goes, and the next crisis.

    I can't download any rented movie. When I start downloading Windows iTunes crashes and Windows close this program. What should I do?

    If the problem is iTunes slowing down and not appearing to run correctly, you should check  this Apple article out-> Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    You may want to try resetting Winsock as a temporary fix.
    1. To do so, please do the following in an administrator user:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Right click All Programs and choose Accessories > Command Prompt. Choose to open as an administrator.
    Windows XP: Click Start > Run and type in cmd.
    2. Enter the following command: 
    netsh winsock reset
    3. Restart the computer and test the issue.
    Note:  If the issue returns, third-party software may be reinserting the LSP.

  • Since updating to iOS 7 iTunes crashes and will not load on my 4s

    Since updating to iOS 7 iTunes crashes and will not load on my 4s

    I tried resetting to factory and that worked for a couple of hour then I ended up with iTunes crashing again. So I logged out and logged back in and so far so good. This has kept me working for 3 days now so I won't guarantee a fix but it seems to have worked.
    Go to Settings->iTunes & App Store click on your login email and select logout. I closed all of my open apps at this time and restarted my phone which was probably an overabundance of caution, but I wanted to ensure any temporary files were gone. Log back in and hopefully all will work for you.
    Good luck.

  • ITunes crashed and will no longer recognize my iPod Touch!

    My new computer crashed last night while my iPod Touch was in the process of Syncing with my iTunes account.  When it came back up it had to try and recover my iTunes Library. After it did I had to go into my stuff and find all my music and re-add it to my iTunes Library.  That wasn't too much of a problem, I've got back all of my songs, but my apps are all gone and when I try to Sync my iPod Touch with my iTunes Library it gives me a message saying that my iPod Touch is Synced with another iTunes Library and can only be Synced with one at a time so I need to erase my iPod's memory and reload everything from my computer.  The problem is that since it doesn't have any of my apps on there it would completely erase all of my apps and any data I have on them.  So what I want to find out is how I can get it to recognize my iPod Touch again, or if there is a way I can save all of my app data from my iPod Touch and then reset my iPod Touch so that it will recognize it again and then just Sync it again to get all my app data back that would be great too.  I just don't want to lose anything.  I have seen several similar issues but nothing that really seemed to be the right fix for my particular issue so any help will be greatly apprediated!
    Thanks,
    L.M.

    - Transfer itunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can also redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - When they are in your iTunes library, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • My computer with my itunes crashed and my ipod no longer works. I purchased a new ipod and would like to download my music but I am unable to

    My computer with my itunes crashed. I can no longer use that computer. My ipod no longer works so I bought a new one. I would like to download my itunes that I have but I don't know how to get the information onto my new ipod.

    Your itunes purchases for music, etc are tied to your itunes account - any computer (up to 5) can be authorized with your iTunes account information. Enter your iTunes account name and password in the iPod - you don't say which version of iOS is on your iPod so more details can't be given until knowing that.

  • My iTunes crashed and no longer has play counts; how do I transfer playcounts from my iPod Classic back into iTunes11?

    About a week ago, my harddrive crashed and we finally ran a scan and got rid of the corrupted data. Unfortunately, the corrupted data happened to be my iTunes library. Everything was wiped--my iCloud stuff, CDs I'd downloaded, mp3s I'd gotten in music swaps with friends, everything. I managed to recover all the stuff from the Cloud but all my playcounts and other data was missing. I have all the information still on my iPod classic but I can't figure out how to transfer it back into iTunes, as I really would like to keep my playcounts and playlists intact.
    Any advice?
