Did you sync your music with iTunes to your computer?
Did you backup your iTunes purchases to an external drive or burn to CD's?

  • How can I get my music back if its not backed up?

    Hi,
    I had hard drive failure and replaced them both and upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit, therefore I have lost everything and I hadn't backed up my any music.
    I download and install the latest iTunes 64 bit. I log in and can't find my music?
    I plug my iPod in and it says it's synced to another library.
    How do I get my music back?
    Thanks very much for reading.

    How come it's not the same with music purchasing?
    Because Apple pays the music copyright holders a royalty each time a song, including a free single, is downloaded from the iTunes Store. You can sometimes get one free redownload request granted by using _*this form*_, but never more than one.
    good luck !

  • ITunes 7's wiped my iPod!!!  How do I get my music back?

    On plugging in my 20 gb clickwheel iPod after installing iTunes 7, iTunes came up with the error:
    iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Go to the summary tab and click restore etc...
    So I quit iTunes and unplugged the iPod only to find that now it doesn't appear to contain any tunes at all - nothing listed under album/artist etc
    However, the About screen still shows Capacity 18.5 GB, Available 1.2 MB, as if the data's still there but the file allocation table's disappeared
    Anyone know how I can get my music back?

  • Itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

    I have read the the advice you gave, and I had already tried that. It did not help.
    When I tried to download an album with nine songs, (I have paid for the complete album), two songs were missing. One of them has showed up/disappeared a couple of times, but with a cloud/arrow-symbol next to it, what I thought to be a symbol for downloading from the cloud. When I click it, it starts a downloading process, and then I am told it cannot be done, "please try again later".  The other song is nowhere to be seen.  The song with the cloud/arrow-symbol, I bought 3 times, once with the album, twice just the song. That didn't change matters. iTunes tells me I have downoladed all songs I have purchased.
    I do not really understand why you do not understand what I am writing, I only describe what happens when I use iTunes.
    If a person want to use iCloud, one needs an iPhone, iPad or an iPod Touch. That information is not given until you have downloaded and installed the iCloud program. That is why I have it on my computer, but cannot use it. To set up an iClod account, you have to connect one of the above mentioned devices. I don't have one, so I cannot do it.
    If you want the (13013) problem explained, I suggest you google it. I am not the only one to have that problem.
    I am thankful that you spend time on trying to help me, but I cannot explain things clearer than this.

  • I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back?

    I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.

    Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

  • I have restored my new replacement iPhone 5s from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying i don't have any pictures, it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    I have restored my new replacement iPhone from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying I don't have any pictures in my camera roll, it has all the spaces for them, but it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors.  You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing.  You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
    When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore.  You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup).  Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
    You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

  • I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. after much prompting. Now my music is gone! (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back on it??

    I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. -- after much prompting from iTunes. Now my music is GONE (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back?? I'm really bummed! Everything shows in iTunes, but it's not synching right. So glad I updated. NOT.

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

    after downloading ios5.1.1 how do you get your music back on your ipod

    Sync it from your iTunes library
    Redownload iTunes purchases by
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I got a replacement iphone 4s about 2 months ago and now almost all of my music is missing.  How do I get my music back on my iphone?

    I got a new iphone 4s which was a replacement for my 4s that got wet abuot 2 months ago.  I had the applecare people walk me thru setting up the new phone.  I just noticed that almost all of my music is not showing up on my phone.  How can I get my music back?

    Is your library still present? You can upgrade iTunes, then on left hand side u should see purchased. Music that was purchased can be restored through phone and computer. Go to file & click transfer purchases from your iPhone. You may have to authorize the computer again.

  • I downloded music using a different apple id on my ipad then i changed my id to match my iphone but it isnt showing my music i bought with my other id on icloud. how can i get my music back!?

    i downloded music using a different apple id on my ipad then i changed my id on my ipad to match my iphone but it isnt showing my music i bought with my old ipad apple id on icloud. how can i get my music back!?

    It won't show on iCloud because iCloud is associated with a specific Apple ID.  The music should be on your computer's iTunes and a Sync will put it on the iPad (be sure to configure iTunes properly).  If you want to get it from iCloud, I think that you need to temporarily change your ID back to the old one but I've never done that myself.

  • I've lost all my music since my last computer died. How do I get that music back without having to pay for it? I read somewhere that there is a "form to request to download iTunes purchases again", is this true?

    All of my music is missing from iTunes since my last computer died and had to get a new one.  How do I get that music back without having to pay for it again?  I've read somewhere there is a "form to request to download iTunes purchases again", is this true? 

    Media should be included with the backup of the computer that all users should be creating on a regular basis as part of basic computer/data maintenance.
    In the event that you do not have a backup (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files)
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
    If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content.  They are not required to provide this opportunity.
    It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes.  On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
    The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.  Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.
