I have lost my songs from both by Ipod and my Itunes library but they are still purchased according to the Itunes store so I cant rebuy/re download them straight from iTunes, Can I get them back?

I have recently restored my Windows laptop to factory settings in a successful attempt to speed it up but this resulted in my laptop login account being deleted as well as my iTunes library that was linked with it so since I couldnt use that account I decided to make a new iTunes library on my new laptop login then when I tried to get the songs on my iPod on to my iTunes library I lost all of the songs on my iPod so I no longer have any of my songs anywhere that I can see but when I tried to redownload my songs from the iTunes store it just says purchased next to every album/song so I can't redownload anything so the only way that I can think of to retrieve them is downloading them from , it there anyway that I can retrieve my songs?

Aftershotz,
You're going to have to give a bit more information.
What do you mean by "opening a file in library?" There is no function of Aperture to open files -- you can open (switch) libraries.
You'll have to be more specific about error messages, too. Perhaps some screenshots would be useful to diagnose your problem. "Can't open database with library name" is not enough detail about what Aperture is really telling you.

I was syncing music to my phone and when i plugged it in my pictures were gone and left me with only the ones i had on my previous iphone how can i get them back

I was syncing music to my phone and when i plugged it in my pictures on my phone were gone and gave me the pictures i use to have on my old iphone how can i get my pictures back

This did not happen by syncing with iTunes alone. The Camera Roll is not included or touched with the iTunes sync process.
The first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes that has been used to sync with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone to the new iPhone, or set up as a new iPhone or don't transfer the backup for the previous or old iPhone. You chose the former, which replaced the Camera Roll on your new iPhone with the Camera Roll for your previous iPhone. This was followed by a sync with iTunes.
If you didn't import the photos from the Camera Roll on your new iPhone with your computer as with any other digital camera before you chose to transfer the backup for your old or previous iPhone to your new iPhone, the photos that were in the Camera Roll on your new iPhone are gone.

HT4436 Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place.

Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. The remainder now appear with the stupid Icloud logo beside them. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place. Why can't rotten apple ask if you want the dam icloud rather than just stealing everything without permission and then you can only have access to it through wifi.

Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

If you did not yet connect with iTunes, you can place any music from your library back into your iPod from the computer. When set to automatically manage usic and videos, whatever iTunes finds changed in your music app will be reset to what is on your computer iTunes library.

I have a 3g. Recently I synched for the first time. I also upgraded the software to 4.2.1 The sync took my photos and music off my phone. The photos worked fine. The music has disappeared. It looks like my iphone itunes isn't functioning at all

I have a 3g. I synched my phone and computer itunes for the first time this week ( I also upgraded my phone itunes software to 4.1.2 ). Now I have no music on my phone, and my computer has seemed to lose the music that was uploaded (It was there for a bit, now gone). I think I should undo the software upgrade. How do I do that?

not a reply but not sure how to add something to my own thread! It seems that Desktop was damaged too as when I try to open it a screen says there is no application selected to open Desktop with. No idea what I should choose! Any help appreciated, have really made a mess of my MacBook this time.

LR cc has disappeared on both my laptop and desktop and reverted back to LR5

i have the photographers special with PS and LR.
any ideas why this has happened

Where do you see that? It's exactly the same software (or at least it will be until Lr6 is released).
However, it happened to me once that Lightroom dropped out of the "installed apps" list in the CC desktop app. Instead it appeared with the other CC apps I hadn't installed. The program itself seemed unaffected by this, it worked as it should.
Since this coincided with a dot update, I just clicked "install", and it went through the normal routine and updated the normal way. Hasn't happened since.

All but 3 of my songs have been removed from my library. The names are still there with exclamation points in front of them. How do I get them back?

This happened when I upgraded to the new iTunes.

The exclamation marks mean that iTunes can't find the files.
First check that your music files are on your Pc, usually they will be,
Open iTunes.
Right click on one of the tracks with an exclamation mark and select get info.
Answer "No" when iTunes asks if you want to locate the file.
Get Info should be displayed. Click on the Summary tab if not already there.
You should see the location where iTunes thinks the file is located.
Does this correspond to where the files actually are?
The next thing to check is the loaction of the iTunes Media folder.
iTunes>>Edit>>Preferences>>advanced tab.
Is it correct? Some time iTunes can default back to a default location for the media folder when you actually have it somewhere else.
Changing a drive letter is another possibility.
