iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
The easiest way to get back missing items? Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

ive got a laptop from a friend, she cleared everything off it. ive downloaded itunes and for some reason all her music has appeared in the library. How do i delete her music from the itunes libary so i can add my own music?

In iTunes, select the music you want to delete (⌘+a to select all) and hit Delete on your keyboard.
Also delete the music files in Finder. Also make sure you have your own Apple ID and iTunes account and logged in.

You'll need to switch off iTunes Match on the device & sync the iPod with iTunes as hopefully you've kept all your music on your PC.

Help! iTunes has completely disappeared off my iPhone 4s, yes the program, not just the app, and all my music has gone! How can I get this back? Thanks!!

Help! iTunes has completely disappeared off my iPhone 4s. Yes the Program, not just the app! All my music has just vanished! How do I get this back!!
(p.s. I do suspect a deletion has occurred courtesy of my 4 year old nephew, some other stuff has gone too, but beats me how he deleted a whole program!!!)

Hi clorowan
I found the following information that may be helpful:

Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

HT203167 All my music has disappeared from my iTunes, what do I do?

I don't know why but somehow all my music has disappeared from my iTunes. I store all my music files on external hard drives.
I don't know what to do to get it all back onto iTunes (other than individually adding each song)

If you are lucky you may be able to recreate your library using the method here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
If that doesn't work you can just add your iTunes Music folder using "Add Folder to Library", that gets your music back in the library but loses playlists and ratings etc.
Becuase this is rather a common problem, it is a good idea to make backups of you Library file from time to time:
Backup the iTunes Library Files
The library files are in:
My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Close iTunes and wait about 30 seconds.
Copy iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml somewhere else e.g. into the Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
To restore, with iTunes closed drag the current itl and xml file from the iTunes folder to the desktop, then copy the backup iTunes Library.itl into the iTunes folder. The xml file isn’t necessary but can come in handy if the library needs to be recreated and the itl file is causing problems.

My imported music has disapeared, only my purchased music is showing

Recently only my purchased music is showing in my itunes library, I don't know where all my imported music from my cds has gone? It is showing icloud, but I dont know how to turn icloud off. please help!

Have you looked at the settings in iTunes. Is music syncing manual or automatic. More info please. I would try removing all restrictions as an initial test.

I REALLY need help W/ my New Ip 4. Music Note Link, takes me right to the store, and keeps telling me, all my music has been downloaded, but I can't find it anywhere.... HELP!!!

I upgraded my Original Iphone to an Iphone 4, and am having issues syncing my Music,
It asked me, if I wanted to set up my phone as a NEW Iphone, or use the last sync. I figured, using the last sync would simply move everything over. NOT, so much. I am using Windows, Not Mac.
I uploaded the LATEST version of Itunes. And on occasion if I click the Music link button, and tap a bunch of things,.. It will take me to a page that says,.. Iphone or Shared Library. The only way I can get my music to show up, is via, tapping Shared Owner's Library. But it takes a zillion taps to get there, and 50% of the time doesn't show up at all. It says- repeatedly, Either, "You have no songs," etc. or when I tap, "Not on this device" it says, "all of your music has been downloaded to this device..." But HOW do I get to it?
On my OLD phone, all I had to do was tap the Music Note,... and my library showed up... That's all I want...
I put my music in the cloud, etc,.. I just thought that was a COPY. Am I needing some kind of CLOUD app on my phone? Or Can someone walk me thru this... I'd be eternally grateful. I'm ready to throw this thing out the window! HELLLPPP! PLEASE!!!
Thank You In Advance,
Shea....

The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
Now- "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

My external hard drive which contained all mu music has failed. How do i create a new itunes library with the music on my iphone?

I had all my music on an external hard drive which itunes referred to as the stored location. this drive has now died and I only have the music on my iphone/ipad. How do I recreate my music on another external drive using the music on my iphone/ipad?

Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?
If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to purchase a third party program to get the rest ( not supported by Apple).

I had itunes installed on a notebook, then installed on my new notebook and now all my music has disappeared off my iphone 5. ANd when i tried updating itunes on old notebook it didn't install. Help

I had itunes installed on my old ACer and went to install itunes on my new HP. It has removed all my music from my phone.and when I tried earlier to update itunes on old acer it wouldn't install properly.
help.

While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

Ok, I was listening to music from itunes last night. I turn on itunes this morning and all the music that was there the night before has disappeared! I checked my "My Music" folder and all of my music placed after the "iTunes" folder has disappeared. This is extremely unusual and I dont understand it! Please HELP!!!

It could be anything. First scan with your antivirus program, and scan for malware using your adware/spyware program or Ewido http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Also it could be your antivirus/security suite blocking iTUnes from writting to the folders it needs.

After upgrading itunes, all my music has gaps in it

I just upgraded itunes from version 6 to 7.4.3.1. Upon startup of itunes, itunes started did something wehre it had to go through all my songs. Unfortunatly, i can't remeber what it said it was doing but it had something to do with getting information on all the songs. It took about 5 min to go though all the music (5,300 songs). After it finished and i regained control, i tried playing some music. To my surprise, the songs all had little gaps in them about every 5 seconds. It sounds kind of like a CD skipping. This happens with every piece of music in my itunes library. I tried playing the same music using windows media player and these "gaps" aren't there, it works fine. It seems like this is a problem with itunes. Does anyone have any idea what this is and how to fix it?
By the way, i had the same problem when i upgraded to the first version 7 but my friend downgraded back to the old version and everything worked fine again.

same problem here... i've done google search after google search and i have no idea how to fix it.
anybody out there have a real solution? my ipod's basically dead and i was thinking about getting a new one, but i'd need the new itunes.. which doesn't work.

All media should be in iTunes on the computer.
Connect the device to the computer and sync the content back.

I cancelled iTunes match and all my imported music has disappeared. How do I get it back. Please !!!

Hi,
When I subscribed to iTunes match, it moved all my imported songs (i.e. songs from cds that I owned) into the cloud. I finally got fed up of this, and cancelled my iTunes match subscription, and now all my imported songs have disappeared !! Can someone please help me get them back !!!
Thanks,

Since going to match its no longer possible to back up as far as I can see, so any advice you can offer on what I should do if I want to cancel would be greatly received.
You need to import tracks to your computer in order to add them to match. You should back up those tracks before deleting them from your main computer
Make and keep a backup of your iTunes library, and only stream from the cloud.
As you did not keep the originals on your computer, I suggest that you create a new library on the external drive and download them. You would need to do this in any event if you decided not to renew match. Use this library to manage your music in the cloud - new tracks added will be available in the cloud once match completes it's scan of your library.
