All of my music disappeared after downloading 2 songs from ITunes. Now my library is empty on my IPhone except for those 2.

All of my music on the library disapperead when I downloaded the free Justin Timberlake album from the 12 days app today. I normally use our family's Apple ID because thats where we have the credit card info to purchase stuff. There was an error today while using that Apple ID as our credit card was canceled so i could not use it because we owed like $3. So I used mine instead to download the free album. I signed out of my family's ID and used mine to download the JT music. I thought everything went great until i started 'playin' my music and I could not find anything! Except for those two songs that I barely like. I signed out of my Apple ID, nothing happened. I closed the music app, again, nothing. I performed a reset, nothing. I cannot seem to get my music back. This has never happened before. I am currently traveling abroad and my laptop is back home, so I cannot sync my IPhone. Anyway to soultion this? I am absolutely getting more frustated with my Apple product every hour.
Anything I can do to get my music back before resorting to my laptop which is thousands of miles away? Help me get my music back.
P.S. In memory usage, beside the Music app which is suppposed to say like 4GB, currently is says No Data.
Thanks in advance.

HI Jazzy, caveat first. I'm not hugely experienced with iTunes and syncing music, BUT, I think the problem is your switch of Apple ID. The music you had before 'belongs' the the previous family AppleID. When you switched ID, then iTunes didn't associate the new ID with the old music list.
Try this:
Log back in with the family ID. Either change the credit card number to your own, or add your credit card to the family one. You should be able to delete it later when you have finished. Then you should be able to download the Justin Timberlake album to the family account.
My suspicion is that by logging back in with the original ID, all the music should be back.

Downloaded song from iTunes, now iTunes can't find it!

I just downloaded a song from iTunes. It was hanging on the download so I cancelled, then went to Store >> Check for Available Downloads. Song finished downloading and processing, and it displays under Purchased songs in iTunes.
Here's the catch...now that pesky exclamation mark is displaying next to it, saying it can't find the file and would I like to look for it. I've never had this happen with a song purchased on iTunes before.
Thoughts? I looked through my iTunes Music Library folders and didn't see anything there for the artist.
I'm running iTunes 10.
Thanks.

Wound up just buying the song again.

Have you tried checking the Store drop-down menu in the iTunes interface to see if you are signed in the existing account?

When there are photos/videos in the Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected.
If your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when connected, check this link.

Sorry I somehow managed to click the wrong thing and made a silly mistake, as I had hoped.
Can a moderator please remove this thread as I have resolved my problem.

If you cannot powerup the phone, there would be no way to recover the photos from the device. Have you tried to just connect it to the computer? If the photos are that important, have you considered possibly a 3rd party repair to just fix the screen so you can access the device, or was there more broken than the screen?

HT1725 When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?

When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?
i'm just wondering:
a) why it does this
and b) how to stop it doing this, because it still charges me for the song :/

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

My ipod touch will download songs from itunes, but has issues with songs from my CD's.The songs show up on my ipod

My ipod downloads songs from itunes and plays them just fine. However, when I added my songs from my CD's to it, they downloaded but don't play like they should. They either don't play at all or randomly play in the middle of the song. It has nothing to do with the start time either because they all say that they start at 0.00. I synced the CD's correctlly, so that is not the issue. The songs from the CD's never start playing when I choose them. What can I do to fix this issue?

Have you looked at the discussions on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This" with your same problem?

Is it possible to download songs from itunes directly on to usb as mp3

Is it possible to download songs from itunes direct to usb as mp3

If you are referring to the iTunes Store, then no, because all songs they sell are in AAC format. You can buy MP3s from other online stores, such as Amazon MP3.

Can I use downloaded songs from iTunes into iMovie and burn DVDs?

If I use downloaded songs from iTunes in iMovie, will I be able to make DVDs of my movie without losing music files?

Hi A
Probably but iMovie and I guess iDVD is fussy about in what format the audio
is in. It should be 48k/.aiff
If You in iTunes make an audio CD with the material You need in Your movie
and then Use this CD in iMovie it will work.

How do I download songs from iTunes Match for offline or spotty coverage?

I have a 64GB iPhone and want to be able to DOWNLOAD songs from iTunes match for use when I have spotty 3G coverage (or no coverage, or only expensive coverage, or on an airplane). How can I do this? Right now iTunes is not using any of my data storage on my phone for previously downloaded songs for future use (caching).

What you want to do actually has nothing to do with iTunes Match. What you need to do is enable automatic downloads in iTunes. Open iTunes prefs > Store and select the option for, at least, "music" and click OK. Now any music you buy will be downloaded to your iTunes library automatically. But iTunes will need to be running for this to happen.

HT4914 can you download songs from itunes match from the cloud to your iPhone ie for times when you dont have internet connection

can you download songs from itunes match from the cloud to your iPhone ie for times when you dont have internet connection?

Unless you have an Internet connection you cannot access iCloud. You can download your music from iCloud to store permanently on your iPhone, but only when you have an Internet connection to do so.

Downloaded songs frome itunes and internet went down and they will not play and it also caused other songs not to but most will what do i need to do wiyhout erasing everything

downloaded songs from itunes and the internet went down and they will not play and also caused other songs already downloaded not to play what can i do

You can try a couple of different things. First - restart the iPod and see if the songs will play.
Restart the iPod by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't help - delete the songs and then download them again. You can download purchased music again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with originally and as long as you live in one of these countries.
Previously purchased music is only available through iTunes in the Cloud in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, United States, and Venezuela.
If you are running iOS 5 on the iPod - You can delete songs by swiping across the song in list view to bring up a red delete button. Tap the button to delete the songs. Download the songs again in the purchased tab in iTunes.

How can I set automatically downloaded songs from iTunes on an existing playlist?

Hi! I have downloaded songs from itunes in my old macbook which appears automatically in the playlist, but when buy a new macbook and downloaded some songs, a new playlist ws created automatically and all recent song i"ve downloaded goes to that playlist, how can I set the song that I download to the old playlist automatically so I wont edit everytime I download songs, thank

Might that new playlist be a smart playlist named something like "Recently Added"?
Yes, iTunes does create such a smart playlist and uses it to house recently downloaded songs.
If you want the songs to go to an existing playlist as well, set up the smart playlist to include rule(s) to include the latest additions.

All of my music disappeared after downloading 2 songs from ITunes. Now my library is empty on my IPhone except for those 2.
