Authorized device was erased. Downloaded iTunes. Says my iPod is already synced to a library. Where do I access that library and how do i get it back on iTunes? I tried manually move songs in disk mode. Bunch of data on ipod, how to remove?

One of my authorized devices was erased. I downloaded iTunes. Says my iPod is already synced to a library. It will allow me transfer purchased songs but not songs I had that were downloaded off of my CD's. Where do I access that library and how do i get it back on iTunes? I tried manually move songs in disk mode. Now I have a bunch of data on ipod and I don't know how to remove it. It basically copied all my itunes files from my C drive onto ipod in my efforts to move the library.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

How do you get music back into iTunes?

I know that if you delete a song from iTunes, it still stays on your computer, just not in iTunes. Since I have Windows, the deleted songs still stay as a Quicktime file in my documents/my music/itunes. I accidentily deleted "complilations" which had around 50 songs on it... but was weird was it didnt ask me if i wanted to delete the artist, it just did it. but other then burning the songs to a CD and uploading them again, does anybody know a way to get them back to itunes? Thanks in advance.

My computer crashed, i have my library on an external drive, so how do i get it back into itunes?

Okay so my dad keeps refusing to get a new computer, or a separate laptop for me. Iritatingly, it continues to crash so severely that the hardrive has been wiped clean and restored at least 4 times. Ridiculous. Luckily, I was able to save my library from 9/4/11 on an external drive, but i have no idea how to get it back onto itunes now. Seriously, its a problem because my actual ipod was stolen, ergo i cannot load it from that. What do i do.

This question has to do with how to restore your computer drive if you backed up the computer to an external drive. Did you use backup software or did you just copy the data from the old computer to the new computer? If you just copied, then you need to just copy over the Music folder which should contain the iTunes folder.

HT5295 How do I get podcasts back into itunes in ios6?

I updated to IOS6 yesterday and found that podcasts had been removed from iTunes and put into the new Podcasts app. Having spent a day using this app, I have found it to be terrible: it's slow (podcasts take 10-20 seconds to start after I select them - and these are podcasts I've already downloaded, no streaming), the "next" button takes you to an older podcast rather than a newer one like in itunes, for some reason it decided I hadn't listened to about 40 podcasts that I had definitely listened to, the interface is unresponsive, etc. I went from having a pleasant podcast experience in IOS5 to a terrible one in IOS6. Does anyone know how to get podcasts back into iTunes, or if that's not possible, can anyone recommend a podcast app that works as smoothly as iTunes did in IOS5?
Thanks!

I've just now stumbled into this briar patch with my 4th Gen IPod Touch. Have only used it to date for music, and it's worked fine.
I would LOVE to add podcasts. I'm able to download them to my iTunes PC files, but the pre-loaded 'music' app doesn't seem to want to play them. I've downloaded the Podcast App, but it's for the IOS series 7.
There are a number of suggestions on line regarding how Apple had recognized this problem and had finally made previous versions available "underneath" the App Store Podcast icon . . . but nothing seems to work.
Did Apple turn around and remove the older Podcast App versions?
Does anyone know how to get Podcast functionality for a 4th gen IOS 6 series? This seems like a basic function for an iPod!

RECENTLY ADDED HOW DO I GET IT BACK ON ITUNES?

itunes recently added got lost somehow. how do i get it back?

The Recently Added playlist just a Smart Playlist with specific criteria, so you can just create a new one. Match the rule "Date Added" - > "is in the last" -> "1" ->"Days". You can set the days and the interval to suit yourself; you can have days, weeks or months.
Regards.

Song downloaded (local), now how do I get it back to iTunes Match? (no longer want it local)

So I have joined iTunes match (which works GREAT so far) and have one problem I just cant figure out.
History:
I wanted to use a song (up in the cloud) for an iMovie project. No music was available from iMovie... OK, i figured that was because of iTunes match. Sure enough, I go into iTunes and download the song to my MBA, and great! the song now shows up in iMovie.
Issue:
Since I don't want the song on my hard drive anymore (SSD storage is precious), I removed the song from my iTunes library, and re-syncd with iTunes match thinking that would work. Now, in iTunes, there is no longer a cloud icon next to that song, and there's an error if I double click it (attempt to play the song.
iTunes match still looks/functions fine on my Apple TV, iPhones, and iPad... but that songs not playable on the MBA anymore. What did I miss?
Thanks!

To remove a song from the iTunes library but not the cloud never, ever, ever delete the file from the file system (which is what you did). Always delete the track from within iTunes, and choose to move the file to the trash.
To fix this error simply delete the "track" from the iTunes library, but not the cloud. There is no need to use the "update iTunes Match" menu command.

Computer Crashed,how do I get music back into itunes w/o erasing Ipod?

My computer crashed, and I had to get a new hard drive. I was able to save all of my music on cd, and it is all still currently on my Ipod. I have downloaded Itunes again, but how do I upload all the music on my ipod into Itunes without it automatically erasing my Ipod when I plug it in? Am I able to save my play lists when I reload my music to Itunes?
Dell PC Windows XP

If you are using the iPod in manual update mode it is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes after reinstalling your operating system. However if your iPod is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual.
You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). 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. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
While you can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, if you want to check this out, there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from an iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward and will copy songs and playlists.
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
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 again.

Deleted songs from iTunes In The Cloud. How do I get them back into iTunes In The Cloud?

I accidentally deleted some purchased songs from iTunes In The Cloud when I was using iTunes 11. How can I get them into iTunes In The Cloud again?

I've got iPhone 4s.
Very uncommon. In the second day of the actualization all my contacts are gone.
In favourites remained the numbers. But i can't use it.

TS3694 When I went in to back up my new iphone, I didn't go in as new phone and I lost my iOS 6 setting. How do I get it back? i have tried downloading ios on my computer, get anything from 6 hours to 34 hours to download!! Is there anyway on the phone i

I went in again, chosing restore, itunes is currently downloading again! this time it says 44 minutes remaining. If my computer goes into hibernation, I have to restart and then download says 4 to 35 hours?? Trying to recover the ios6 is frustrating. I didn't chose the correct set up as new phone, because I wanted to set up my apps, etc. My new iphone is the 4GS, and it came already set up with the ios 6. Just trying to get it back! Also, can not get my wifi to set up. Thought it would recognize the settings and all I would need to do is put in my ID and password? My download is now saying 66 minutes?

If you want to go to the first set-up screen of iPhone, like after a restore, then on iPhone tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. If you want to have your iPhone basically Restore itself, then tap Settings App > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.

My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving just the songs I recently purchased (9). How can I get them back? I've tried redownloading them but it didn't work.

My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving only the 9 songs I last purchased. When I try to sync, I get a message, "cannot be synced because the iPod cannot be found."

When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

Deleted my music files to make room on hard drive. How do I get them back with iTunes Match now?

I ran out of room and since I paid for iTunes Match I thought I could delete my files but still have the music. Now the luttle clouds are gone from my library and when I try to play a song it tells me it can't find the file. How do I get the clouds back and the option to re-download just what I want?

I actually deleted my backup :-) That's the problem. But thanks.
I've managed to get some back but via a slightly different method.
Because the files weren't there, when I deleted them from my library they actually disappeared from the list.... So I created a new library (backed up my original one) and then synched that with Match so that all the files appeared. I'm just going through the ones I'm missing clicking 'download' and then when they're all back on my hard drive I'll revert to the previous Library which will hopefully pick up all of the recovered files.
Bingo!

Help! My Podcast Dissapeared Overnight - How do I get it back in iTunes?

I have a popular podcast, in fact it was ranked #1 in my category, but it dissapeared overnight.
The search results for it don't show the podcast page anymore in iTunes, but some specific episodes do display in the search results.
When I click on one of those episodes a message pops up:
"The item you've requested is not currently available in the US Store"
The feedburner feed for it, is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/helpmybusiness and the feed validates fine. There's no technical issues that I'm aware of, no copyright issues either.
Any ideas why its not displaying and how to get it back again?

When your podcast was originally accepted, you should have received an email with a link to the iTunes Store page. Does your podcast appear at that link now? I would guess it doesn't, but it's worth checking.
The feed validates in FeedValidator but there are a number of errors which you might want to look at. However, although it's possible for something in the feed to throw the Store page but not the subscribed version (which does work) even in this case the Store page would still exist, simply fail to update.
Which leads to the conclusion that possible the podcast may actually have been removed. If this was done you should have received an email saying so (though not usually giving any helpful reason).
If this was the case it's difficult to say why it would have been removed. I haven't looked at it in close detail, but there is presumably no technical reason, or unacceptable sexual or other content. I can't see why they should object to the subject matter, but I have no way of knowing exactly why it would have been removed (if indeed it was).
You could try iTunes Support - they often aren't as helpful as one would wish but it's worth trying. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options.
