Downloaded Itunes on a new computer and am trying to retrieve lost music files. Everything pulled up when I first clicked the library link. When I tried to create a playlist, a message kept popping up, saying that I needed to authorize this computer before I do anything else basically. I then went to account settings, and it showed that the device was authorized. I thought that maybe it just needed to be reset, so i clicked unauthorize and ok. I went back to authorize it again and clicked done. Then went back into the library, and the only songs that where in there, were the ones that made it into the new playlist I created before the authorization message popped up. How do I get all of my downloaded songs back? I went from having about 500 songs to about 9!!!! Help!

Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music
Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music. Is there a way to recover my music?
Not if it isn't in your itunes library. If you sync with a new computer iTunes will delete all iTunes media (such as music) from your phone and replace it with whatever media is in the new iTunes library. Sounds like that's what happened.

Got new iPod, deleted iTunes, lost music
My friend recently got a new iPod (and turned the old one in for a discount). My friend's new iPod would not sync with old iTunes, so she tried to upgrade it. For some reason it wouldn't. In frustration, she deleted iTunes from Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Now she realizes that iTunes is gone and her iPod is empty. Is all of her music gone forever? Or 1) is there a remaining library of music or 2) does the iTunes store allow you to download your purchased music again? Thank you for any assistance!
Hi, the music files should still be on the PC. Here is an article on finding lost music.

I lost music on my computer. How do I sync from my phone back to the computer?
Plug iPhone in.
Once it mounts in iTunes, select files-devices-iPhone-transfer purchases.
This will only transfer stuff purchased from iTunes. -
How Can I Recover lost music?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases -

Rebooting computers does not cause files to disappear.

iTunes has somehow become unstable with frequent crashes (freezes/locks up) and lost music (with no rhyme or reason as to which music has been lost).
The iTunes program haphazardly prompts me with a message that says "The song <insert name here> cannot be used because the original file could not be located. Would you like to locate it?".
For the most part I am able to find the song in the iTunes folder on my C drive, but there are numerous occasions when I cannot.
I have tried upgrading my version of iTunes hoping that whatever file that was corrupted would be fixed, but the problem persist.
I have tried to locate a number to call for assistance with the above problems to no avail.
Questions I am hoping for help + guidance with:
1) Is there no iTunes customer support beyond the kindness of other users?
2) What happened to my music? I have tried to "consolidate library" and check for purchases ...?
3) Why is my iTunes unstable? What can I do to fix it?
4) Is there a way to contact iTunes and have them restore the songs purchased but now lost?
Thanks much for your help. Very frustrating to have paid so much into a system (500 songs plus) and then have it be unreliable ...
Thanks,

hp Windows 2000Let's get the application installed properly first, then focus on the library...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.

Lost music after itunes update
Hi All
I just did the latest software update for my itunes and seem to have lost all my music. Called apple care and they talked me through looking the lost music. They said it looks like its gone. Any one have this problem? I was not the first one to call with this same problem. Any ideas on where to find my lost music libary along with ratings and such?

[email protected]sorry to hear of your loss. that is why I always back up my purchases.
you can email support and they can provide a one time exception and allow a re download of all yoru purchases, or at least what is still available for download. -
I connected my IPod to ITunes without realizing the settings had changed to 'automatic update' (I recently downloaded a new version of Itunes without setting it to manual update). So I lost almost all my music, since I recently changed computers ie my library is almost empty!!
How can I recover my lost music?!?If there is no back up anywhere (on your other computer for instance), you are left with attemtping to recover the deleted music form the iPod.
This will require some data recovery software, and there's a post giving some options here.

You may have to spend money, and have a little computer knowledge and the results are variable.
Incidentally, since the setting to auto sync your iPod is an iPod setting and not an iTunes one, downloading and installing a new version of iTunes should not have changed anything. -
Reinstall itunes and lost music

I an trying to recover lost music that was in my I tunes library.
I now have more music on my I pod nano and want to sync this collection back to the I tunes library. Is this possiable ?
If not, can anyone give me a hint, other than the ones on the I tunes tutorial ( none of these have worked ) how I can get my music backYes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.

REDEEMING GIFT CERTIFICATE-- LOST MUSIC! arrrgh
I see a similiar string but not precisely the same issue. Here goes!
I redeemed a gift certificate for the specific album that was gifted to me. I didn't remember my mac password right away and after a few tries, it asked me if I want help. I said 'no' and the download process did not complete (ie no new music in iTunes on my PC). I attempted passwd again and this time got it right... and went to redeem gift certificate again. This time, though-- it listed the goft cert code number and said it was already redeemed... and cannot be redeemed again. Well, I have searched both iTunes and on my PC (in general) and this album is definitely not on my computer. So iTunes store says I have it but I actually never completed the process... and now this music seems to be lost in limbo.
Any ideas here?? Am pulling my hair out over this (what little is left), I don't see anything like this listed in their online support, etc. Arrrgh!My advice is to contact the iTunes store directly via their email support link. You can find this link when you're in iTunes and you click on the store and then the support link in the right-hand column. Pick a topic "lost music" or something similar and then at the bottom of this page will be an email link with your name and email address already filled in. Report your problem just as you've reported it here and see what they say.
As an aside, I also had a gift certificate that I tried to redeem but the song I wanted was no longer available. My account was charged $0.99. (They must take the money out before the song gets downloaded.) I decided it wasn't worth the effort to try to get back a $1 so I accepted the loss and moved on. A few days later, I'm happy to report, the $0.99 was credited back to my account. Apple discovered the mistake and corrected it without me having to do anything.
