All the music on my computer loads to i-tunes when played...

im the only one who usses i-tunes, so i dont mind. but im not the only person who has music on my computer. the other users do not like using i-tunes and are quite annoyed. its only since i got 7.1.1 that it happens. please help!

Sounds like version 7.1.1 took control of those music file extensions when it was installed. To give another program control of some or all of the file types, open that program and look in the Tools/Options for file types. For instance, if you want Windows Media Player 11 to be the default player for all MP3s, open WMP, tap the Alt key to expose the dropdown menu, and go to Tools > Options > File Types.

ok, i lost all the music on my powerbook in i tunes, it tells me it can't locate any of the songs. I'm backed up to the cloud so how do i get my music back? I have it on my iphone what to do?

Your iCloud backup doesn't contain your music. It will restore music purchased from the iTunes store to your iOS device if you restore the backup by redownloading it from the iTunes store. You can also redownload music purchased from the iTunes store to your iTunes library on your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. This will not recover music from other sources.
To transfer music from your phone to your computer, you will need to extract it using 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.

HT2688 How do I transfer songs that I downloaded from my computer to Iphone 3g to my new Iphone 4s. I no longer have the music on my computer because it crashed and when I had it fixed itunes showed no signs of any of my music.

I have my old iphone which is a 3g and I am trying to transfer all my music to my new iphone which is a 4s. All my music was saved on my computer but of course I had to put it in the shop and no longer have the music:( It is not showing up in my itunes account where it used to be. How do I transfer from 3g to 4s when only pics show up???? Someone please help!!!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything on the computer, then sync.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your computer - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

I want all the music on my iphone in itunes, also with "times played" how to do this?

I buyed a new laptop with windows 7 because my computer suddently crashed.
My music is still on my iPhone, but how can i get the into my iTunes to?
I also want the "times played" with tracks and the album illustrations.
Can someone help me?

Can I make the assumption that you have synced your phone to another iTunes library? This is the type of action you would see then. The phone is designed to only sync to a single library. The only other action that would create this is if you originally had the phone set to manage music manually and then changed it to sync music.
If you select to sync to the library on the computer, it will erase the music on the phone and replace it with the music on the computer iTunes library.

I went to download all my music from my computer to my phone and when i clicked auto fill it synced and when i went to look at my music, the only music i had on there was the music from my computer. how do i get my music back?

this is URGENT. how do i get my old music back! i have all my receipts from iTunes, but i don't know how i would re-download them. is that even possible? PLEASE HELP ME, I'M DESPERATE!

On your computer, sign into your iTunes Store, select Purchased from the Quick Links section in the right-hand sidebar, download.

IF I RESET MY IPOD WILL I LOOSE ALL THE MUSIC AND PICTURES UP LOADED

PLEASE LET ME KNOW ..... I AM BEGININ TO THINK THIS IPOD VIDEO WAS NOT A GOOD I DEA I CANT HEAR MY MUSIC AT ALL CUASE IT DOES NOT PLAY JUST STAY IDDLE ON SONG THAT I PIC W/ ALBUM PIC AND SONG DESCRIPTON...... WHAT SHOULD I DO

Restting the iPod (Press and hold Select and Menu for ~10 seconds) will not erase anything ffrom the iPod.
Restoring will erase everything on theiPod.
But since you have everything in iTunes, you can reload it.

I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

Unless you'd signed up to iTunes Match then they won't be in the Cloud, only music purchased from iTunes (if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded) will be there. Have you not still got it on your computer and/or on a backup which you can use to sync it back to the iPad ?

I just downloaded iTunes on my new PC and all the music that I have purchased through ITunes that was backed up on the cloud won't play. It is telling I must authorize this computer before it play pre purchased music. how do I authorize my computer.

Thank you for any assistance.

Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

I need to get the music off my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN onto either ITunes or in a music foldes on my new computer. Not all the music was purchased from Apple Itunes HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT LOOSING ALL MY MUSIC??

I have not had a computer for several years and I just got a new one. My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. Thank goodness I had it all on my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN. Now my problem is that I don't know how to get the music off my Ipod Nano onto my new computer!!! I was able to get the songs that I purchased thru ITunes by just authorizing my new computer. But I have alot more music that is on my Ipod nano that I can't put into my ITunes library. In fact, I can't even get my music into a file folder on my computer!! I really need help. I don't have any copies of the music anywhere else and some of it is hard to get. How do I get my music either into ITunes or into a file folder on my new computer or even if I could get my computer to recognize my Ipod and sync all the music into windows media or something like that. Every time I connect my IPod all that happens is that it tells me if I sync the IPod that it will replace all the music from my ITunes library on to my IPod. And I am guessing that means all my music on the IPod will be erased. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my songsters heart

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.
