All of my music got deleted

Yeah so basically i opened my itunes one day and it gave me an error message and i looked up instructions on how to fix it, and it said to delete itunes and then re-download it (i've done this a couple times before and it worked just fine) and then for some reason, it deleted everything. I can't find it anywhere, and i don't know how to get it back. I've spent a lot on music and idk how to get at least my purchases back. anyone know how?

  • All of my music got deleted on my ipod and Itunes won't update onto Ipod...

    I kept on getting a message that said I needed to update my Itunes, but I didn't update for a while and one day I unplugged my ipod and all of my songs on it were gone but they are all still on Itunes. So then I updated my Itunes and Ipod like it said and now it says that it can't update songs onto my ipod because "all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist." I have NO idea what to do now! so PLEASE help me!! Thanks!

    What version of iTunes are you using?  The error you references seems to be connected with iTunes 9.0.4.  That version of iTunes is not compatible with iOS 6. You need to update to the current version of iTunes.

  • My music got deleted off my computer !! HELP

    Hello, I have been trying to fix this for a while now and I just can't figure it out ! My music got deleted some how and now there is no mp3 files on my comp. Could any one tell me how to copy the music from my ipod to my comp again ???

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Music got deleted

    I have purchased some music in the past few weeks, and just today, I found out that most of the music I purchased, and some music that i bought on my iphone did not show up on "Available to download" category. I had to reset my iphone for technical reasons, and after i got everything back except for the music, and the music i had purchased that already was in my library, got deleted too. I have tried everything. I have to search it, and i tried to download itunes on my parents computer and it still wouldn't download. I don't know what to do. Any help? Please.

    You get one download only.
    It is your responsibility to make sure that everything you purchase on iphone/ipod/ipad is transferred to your computer and is included with your regular backup of your computer.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to provide one.

  • All of my music was deleted. What do I do?

    My sister was an absolute genius and deleted all of my music. What do I do?
    Do I have to re-download all 1,500 songs over again? Is there a way I can keep the songs on my iPod and still have them updated (for play count, etc) when I update my iPod?
    P.S. I'm really obsessive compulsive about the play counts of each song and although my music was deleted, I've continued to use my iPod so the play counts have changed. I don't know what to do about that either.

    Deleted from where exactly?
    If the music is still on your iPod, try a 3rd party program like CopyPod.
    It transfers music from iPod to computer and preserves playcounts, ratings etc.

  • IPod music got deleted, freaking out here

    Today was the first time I plugged my iPod into my macbook since updating to iTunes 11 (huge mistake). I added a few albums to it, then ejected.
    After ejecting, I look at it, and where is music? Nowhere to be seen. All of it, GONE. 86gb of music, most of which I can't get back since I just moved to a new country and all my albums are back home.
    Now, the weird thing is, the iPod says there's 86gb of files in it, but in Other. What the **** happened?
    Please, someone help me... this is absolutely shattering me

    So are you saying that the music already on your iPod was not in your iTunes Library - that you have deleted that music from the Library and then allowed your iPod to Sync with a Library that only has the new added music?
    If so, I don't think there is anything you can do until you have access to the albums at home.
    The idea of iTunes is that you put all your music into the iTunes Library and then allow a Sync of the iPod with your iTunes to make a copy of what is in iTunes. If you make a change to the Library, a subsequent Sync will synchronise (copy those changes) onto your iPod.

  • All of my music got erased. What do I do?

    My ipod was plugged into the computer, and I reset it...somehow while I was resetting it all of my songs and albums got erased, yet they still show up in my ITunes library. Is there any way to transfer the songs back to my ipod or will I have to start completely over again? Help please!

  • How can I get my photos and all media back which got deleted while updating software

    Helppppp!!!!!!

    If you were updating from your comupter then, the computer would have created a backup of the iPad and you will be able to restore you iPad from the same backup.
    On the other hand, if you updated your iPad from the the Software Update feature available directly on the iPad, then all might be lost, depending on the following situations:
    1)If you were backing up and syncing your iPad from the comupter, you can restore your iPad and restroe with the backup.
    2)If you were backing up your iPad on iCloud, you can restore your iPad from that backup by restoring your iPad and when prompted, restore from iCloud Backup.
    3)If you were not taking any backups in any form then there is nothing you can do.

  • All my email accounts got deleted overnight and I had to reinput them, has that happened to anyone else?

    My email accounts on my iPad deleted overnight any reason why?

    Frankly, I am baffled as well. Unless you auto sync or backup with iCloud automatically and something went wrong with the internet connection at the time causing some weird issue - I can't think of any reason whatsoever why your email accounts would vanish.

  • After I restored my iPhone, all my apps got deleted. What now?

    Earlier today, I connected my iPhone to iTunes via USB and was prompted to restore my iPhone before I could disconnect. So I proceeded and after the process was finished, I retrieved my music and photo files from the back-up. _**Now to get to my point:**_ after I restored the iPhone, all of my applications got deleted, including the one I purchased. Is there any way I can retrieve them back, or do I have to install each one manually? What about the ones I bought? Is there any way I can get those back without having to buy it again?

    This link provides the data included with your iPhone's backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    The backup does not include any iTunes content - music, podcasts, video, or 3rd party apps. All iTunes content including 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer. After downloading/installing an app with your iPhone, the app should be transferred to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
    You can re-download an app with iTunes on your computer and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.

  • When I updated my my 5S with 7.1.2 all my music was deleted

    When I updated my 5S with 7.1.2 all of my music was deleted how do I get it back?

    Music should be in your iTunes media library - sync with iTunes.
    Purchased music - go the iTunes app - more - purchased - hit cloud to redownload.

  • I have 20 GB of music stored on my Macbook Air (2011) and only 7GB in my iTunes library? How can I delete the extra music without deleting any of my 7GB in my iTunes Library?

    I have no idea how to go through my folders and delete all this extra music without deleting whatever the 7GB is in my iTunes!
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    If you use iTunes' default preferences settings, anything in your collection will be in your iTunes Media folder.  When you add a track to iTunes it places a copy in the iTunes folder but leaves the original where you downloaded it.  The exceptions are if you use the Automatically Add To iTunes folder it does move it, or you drag items to iTunes while holding down the option key in which case it uses the copy wherever it is.
    As for where the other files are, you will have to look on your computer.  Use Spotlight to search for .mp3 .mp4 or whatever file formats you have.  If they aren't in the iTunes folder and iTunes lists them as being in the library then likely they are the original files which you can delete.
    You will have to do some careful checking that whatever you delete is not the file actually used by iTunes.  If you have a flash drive or another drive for temporary storage i would stick the extra files there and then if something breaks you can restore them
