Can I get my itunes library back?

Help me....I had to get my computer repaired and they replaced the hard drive.   It didn't get backed up so I lost everything.  Is there any way to get my itunes library back?
By the way, I have most of my iTunes library downloaded to my iPod Nano. If I could tranfer that to my computer, that would be more than great. Is there a way to do that?

Do yourself a favor, once everything is restore, CREATE A BACKUP!
Anytime you choose to not do a backup, you risk losing everything as you have witnessed.  I hope for your sake that there were no important documentts or pictures on your computer, if they were, they are gone forever.

  • How can I get my iTunes library back into iTunes?

    Folks:
    Hi and thanks for the assist. I recently had to reinstall everything on my Dell XPS 8700 running Windows 7 Pro. I downloaded and installed iTunes 11 and then made my default Media Folder location where all my iTunes music is (backed up). However, while I assumed (yes, I know the old axiom) iTunes would simply automatically import everything in that folder back into my new install, nothing imported. How can I get iTunes to import media (songs, movies, etc.) from my previously saved folder (there doesn't seem to be an "Add Folder" option anywhere - and I really don't care to individually add every single song...
    Thanks again.

  • My laptop broke and I just got a new one....how can I get my itunes library back?

    My laptop I have had for 4 years had all my itunes music I purchased. It stopped working. I cannt even turn it on. Is there anyway I can get my library back?

    That is not good at all.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    If you are in the U.S, then you can retrieve purchases from the newly released icloud:  Open itunes store, click Purchases under Quick Links
    Otherwise, they are gone.
    Always maintaining a backup is very important.

  • How can I get my iTunes library back on my iPad?

    So, I own a Macbook and I have about 20 gigs of music on my hard drive, files are also store in iTunes Match, iCloud, etc.
    When I first got my iPad, I saw my entire iTunes library was also on my iPad, just not downloaded to the hd, it was apearing as downloadable. Over the course of a few months, while listening to music on my iPad, I noticed I was running low on storage space.
    So, instead of deleting the indivial files, I decided to delete the library from my iPad.
    However, now I cannot figure out how to get the library back on my iPad, and be able to see my iTunes library and download to the HD as I please.
    Help! Thanks!

    Hey Corey,
    It sounds like you were indeed using iTunes Match on your iPad. iTunes Match would have allowed you to view your entire library, and stream (or download) individual selections. Is iTunes Match still enabled?
    - On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
    - Tap the iTunes Match switch to set it to ON.

  • TS1967 My iTunes library no longer has all of my music or playlists. When I click "On this iPod" it shows everything, but it's greyed out. How can I get my iTunes library back to normal?

    I am not sure why, but everything in my library is gone. I no longer see my songs, or my playlist.
    When I click on "on ipod" in my itunes, it shows everything how it should be, but it's grey so I can't click on anything. Is there a way to transfer all of that to my itunes again? Or is there a setting for this? I am so confused, I have no idea how/when this even happened!

    Hello MeggiePie86,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Before you go through the process of importing your music from your iPod, check to see if the music is already on your computer.  Check in the Following path C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    Where are my iTunes files located?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1391
    If there is media there, then import that into your iTunes library.

    If you need to transfer your music back from your library, you can transfer purchases that have been made through iTunes.  This article will assist with that process.

  • How can I get my ITunes library back to the way it was

    I just downloaded the new ITunes and I do not like the set up, is there a way to go back and have the layout as it was before?

    My original hard drive I now use as a data drive. I copied evrything that was in my user folder to an external harddrive,
    That's does nothing to set OS X to use that folder as your home folder.
    For iTunes, hold Option, laucnh iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    To set OS X to use the Home folder on the external, see this -> http://chris.pirillo.com/how-to-move-the-home-folder-in-os-x-and-why/

    i had to have my hard drive replaced. how do i get my itunes library back on my computer?

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.
    For more information, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    For content not purchased from the iTunes Store, as John said you'll need to restore from your backups or get the content from whatever place you got it originally.

    Not true at all.
    You only buy the right to your own personal use.

    This is illegal.  There is no doubt about it

    Did you update the version of itunes back to what it was before you reinstalled the OS? The OS discs will have an older version.

    Extract the hard drive from the faulty computer and recover the library from it or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. (At least one link in there may be useful even if you don't have such a device.)
