Hi valleydave,

The first one goes over, in-depth, what you're looking for in regards to "off site" iTunes.

I have a similar problem. I recieved an IPAD for my birthday, and my daughter updated my itunes library so i can use it with the ipad...and somehow all my songs (unpurchased from itunes, and downloaded from a large collection of CDs) ...and play lists were deleted. I still have them on my old ipod, and wonder how to get them back onto my computer so I can redistribute some of them to the ipad. I must be getting too old for this tech stuff, it gets less user friendly every year.

I perviously transfered all my iTunes music to an external hard drive. But now when I connect the external hard drive and try to play a song, I get an error message saying that I need to "locate" my music. I don't how to find it on my external hard drive.

Thanks!

I called Apple Support and they walked me through it. They told me to basically copy and paste my music to the external hard drive. (I think.) Or maybe it was they had me transfer a folder to the EHD. I don't exactally remember it was a few years back. But I tried to plug in the EHD before starting and...nothing. Still says same thing, "locate file."

I recently sycned all my Itunes music from my Iphone to my Mac. I had 150-200 songs. After the sync I went and checked my phone, I now only have 53 songs. The lost one's aren't even showing up in my purchased. It's like I never bought them! Please help!!

You copy it from one computer to the other.
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
You have posted in the iphone forum.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.

I had all my iTunes music backed up onto a hard drive; but the hard drive was stolen along with all the files I backed up onto it. However, the songs I had in iTunes still show up (I just can't play them.) Would it let me get them back?

I had all my iTunes music backed up onto a hard drive; but the hard drive was stolen along with all the files I backed up onto it. However, the songs I had in iTunes still show up (I just can't play them.) If I were to use iCloud, would it still take those songs and let me listen to them (and maybe re-download them?) Or am I out of luck?

Open iTunes, go to the iTunes Store, and then go to Purchased on the right hand side under Music Quick Links.
You can re-download all the songs, apps, or books you have previously purchased.
I'm not sure if this is a requirement, but just in case, make sure you download the latest version of iTunes (v10.3) too.

My toshiba laptop that had all my itunes music along with everything else was stolen. Is there a way to get it back or is it gone forever?

You can re-download all purchased iTunes content, except ringtones, for free:

That is, if still available in the iTunes store.

HT4527 I just transferred all my iTunes music, etc. to a new laptop but the iTunes program, itself, is not on the laptop. How do I get it on there so I have a place for my music? Thank you. SandyLyn50

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to do. I'm in business again! I had thought of doing this, but didn't think my music would automatically transfer into the new iTunes. It did transfer and I updated to the new version and I'm good to go. Thank you again, so very much

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Again, Ronald

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content.

I have an iPhone 4. I recently updated. It loaded all my iTunes music purchases but not the music I had on my computer. This music was on my iPhone before I updated. I have tried re-sycing but not getting anywhere. Says it cannot locate my music files but I see it on my lap top but cannot play it or get it on my iPhone. Can anyone walk me through this?

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

Yu can try this program. If unsuccessful, the contents of the iPod will be deleted if yu update/restore with the iPod in recovery mode.

Is it possible to store all my itunes music in the cloud and retrieve as needed from my iphone

Bought my wife an 16G Iphone 5 for Christmas. She went to upgrade to 32G the day after Christmas and was told she'd have to pay a $35 restocking fee? She needs the extra storage for music thus my question: is it possible to store all my itunes music in the cloud and retrieve as needed?

Good morning K
A couple of things.
     1. Anything you buy from itunes can be stored on the icloud free. It doesn't count against storage.
     2. Music not from itunes can be stored in the cloud free up to the storage limit.
     3. If you use and pay for itunes match (25$ a year) it will match as much of your music against the Apple      library and then only store your non-matched music in the cloud. This is great for large libraries.
     4. When you request a song from the cloud it needs to be connected to the net to download it so you can play                    it. It then is stored on your iphone. You may eventually want to delete it from the iphone but it will                      be available in the icloud for future download.
                 Just don't agree to "delete from icloud also.
Cheers

All my itunes music is on my second Harddrive.
