My pc crashed and I lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc.  Now i have a new pc and when i connect to itunes using my password all my music and photos are not available.  they appear to be lost.

my pc crashed and i lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. now i have a new pc and when i log into itunes all my music and photos are not available.  I guess i dont understand the pupose of itunes and its worth.  I thought it backed up all my photos and music, but apparently not.  So what do I use so that when i lose data on  my pc i can retrieve it again at a later date or after a crash?/

Your content will only be where you put it.  It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

  • My iPad is disabled, but when I connect to iTunes it says it has a passcode and you need to enter it.  So how do I enter it if it's disabled.

    A student's iPad is managed by Meraki and the student acccidently disabled it.  Now when I connect to itunes on my Mac, it says that the iPad has a passcode.  But, you can not enter or do anything on the iPad since it is disabled.  I also tried in Meraki to erase the device or clear the passcode, but it only goes into a Pending queue.  Any help?

    How can I unlock my iPad if I forgot the passcode?

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • TS3697 Most of my photos are not available in iTunes

    When I sync my iPod or iPhone to iTunes, only approximately 600 photos are available for syncing....I have almost 7,000 photos.   All the photos appear in iPhoto.  All my software is up to date.   I tried clearing out the iPod Photo Cache as suggested by others. 
    I have recently cleared out the following Cache to free up disk space:
    ~/Library/Caches/
    /Library/Caches
    Any Help would be appreciated. 

    Here is an update...
    I called Apple, they said the problem most likely is a corrupted iPhoto Library.  (I remember getting an error message regarding my photos after I installed the latest version of iPhoto.)
    He began to walk me through the process.   He said to first export my library.   He recommended that I put it on my desktop.  Not enough room so I plugged in my external hard drive.    It was taken forever so I made arrangements to call back.   Well I left for awhile and when I came back I got an error message that it could not be completed.  
    BUT, when I plugged in my iPod/iPhone I now had 1700 photos available for download.  
    I called Apple again.  This person agreed it was a corrupted iPhoto file.   She believed that it probably got corrupted when I updated iPhoto most likely because my harddrive does not have enough room.  I have maybe 5GB left.  She recommended copying my files and trying to rebuild them. 
    I am debating whether to migrate my iMovie files to another disk to free up space and try again.  Or waiting for the new iMacs to be released which might be as soon as this week and then try.

  • My house has 3 iPhones all on the same apple Id and icloud account. I created another apple I'd to use just for myself and did an icloud backup. Does this backup store the music that was purchased through the apple id I use for the store?

    So will icloud backup the music and apps I currently have then when I restore from backup put these songs and apps back on my phone?

    Nope.  Your iCloud account has nothing to do with your ability to redownload previously purchased music.  It's tied to your Apple ID.  The only restriction is that once you download a previously purchase, enable iTunes Match on your device, or turn on Automatic Downloads in Settings>iTunes & App Stores, your device is then "associated" with the ID that you are using.  Once associated in this way, you cannot associate it with a different ID for 90 days.  This means, for example, that you can't download previously purchased music from one ID and then immediately change IDs and download music purchased with a different ID...you have to wait 90 days before you can change.
    Also, as mentioned ealier, it doesn't matter if the music is on your phone, it isn't included in the backup.  You should be storing your purchased music and other media in your iTunes library; then you can sync it back whenever you want.  To transfer purchaed media to your iTuines library, connect your device to iTunes, then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

  • I am trying to connect my phone to iCloud and I downloaded all conatacts from another phone that was neither on the icloud account or on the itunes account?

    I was trying to get all my contacts from my ipod to my iphone and when I had signed into my icloud and itunes account my phone had gotten the contacts from my moms phone. Which were on neither of my accounts. Is there a way I can delete all of them from my phone without deleting hers? Or just getting rid of all the stuff her phone had put on mine?

    Make sure that you don't have the facebook contacts active as well. If you do, they will match up to facebook and keep appearing on your device. What you should do is go to settings > Facebook>  turn off contacts there. Repeat the process that I have mention earlier. This should do it. If it doesn't. Connect your device to your computer, and make sure you have the latest verison of iTunes. Next, back-up and restore the iPhone and set it up as a new device. When you are setting it up, DO NOT PLACE IN THE APPLE ID AND PASSWORD. Make sure that the iPod has only your contacts, and not connected to facebook contacts as well. Next, place your new Apple ID and password into the iPod. After that, place the new Apple ID and password into you iphone. This works 99.9% of the time. I hope it helps.

    pls help me update my ipad its not working fine.

    In this case if you download it from his account, you will need to deleted and download it again by your account
    also delete your backup from iTunes after you delete all the apps/games that you download it from your friend account
    so in the next time you try to restore your backup, you will not face the same problem

  • Can I recover music that was stored on my Mac but not in iCloud -- after the Mac is not repairable?

    My I-Tunes purchases (years ago) were never stored in the iCloud.  My Mac with the ITunes purchases crashed and is not repairable. Can I recover those I-Tunes purchases through the I-Tunes store?  Would the store have the record of my purchases and let me access them to my new authorized device?

    If the instructions in this article aren't applicable, click here and ask.

  • I purchased a new iphone (the 4) and the old phone was the 3.  I used the 4 before syncing the data from the 3. Lost all my data that was stored in the 4! how can I get it back?

    Hi all,
    I purchased a iphone 4 and replaced my iphone 3.  I started using the 4 before syncing the 3 because I didn't know how to do this.  I just figured out how to sync and was successful however, I have now lost all data (list of to do's, calendar, photos (etc...) that went on the 4 before the sync.  How can I get the data back?
    Best!

    YOur data maybe gone, unless you did a backup of your phone, which doesn't sound like you did.

  • HT5637 I have just joined itunes match and want to know what I do now?  Do I delete all music on my iphone and how do I then see the music that's stored in the cloud?

    Hi
    I have just joined itunes match and want to know what I do now.  Do I delete all the music on my iphone and ipad and if so how?  Once I've done that how do I find the music on the cloud on my phone/ipad?

    Go to Settings > General > Usage, select Music, then Edit. There will be a delete option there. It may take a few minutes to delete if you have a large collection on your iPhone.

    No. If you made your backup to iCloud, iTunes will not restore from an iCloud backup. See:
