Can you download all of your iTunes match account onto your computer?  I screwed up my iPod that had the entire library on it and the computer that had the hard copies of the files on it blew a hard drive.  I need to get the files back from iTunes Match.

Can you recover/download all of your iTunes Match account onto your computer?  I synced the iPod that I had the entire library on to a new computer and lost almost all of my music.  The old computer that had the library on it blew a hard drive and I can't sync the iPod back to the old computer.  Everything is in iTunes Match, but can I load it onto my computer, so I can get it back on my classic iPod?

If you had iTunes Match before all this happened, yes. Just log in, activate iTM and download the music. If you did not have iTunes Match prior to these incidents, no, it can not help you.
You should also be doing regular backups of your personal data to an extnal HDD. If you had a backup hue could simply restore it.

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library.  Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists.  Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

    In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

  • The entire library is gone and a reinstall made things worse...

    For a few days now I have been trying to fix a video playback issue since upgrading to ITunes 7.02. In the process of trying different fixes, the entire library has been lost--my music folder, picture folder, and document folder are empty. I re-installed ITunes and followed the instructions to recreate my library, but it doesn't work. I know, I am an idiot for not having a backup, but I don't. The library has to be on my computer somehwere. Also, the newly installed ITunes now has 6 of each of the playlist folders...90s music, recently added, recently played etc. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Just for a little bump and to add one more thing. I just added a GIG of RAM to my laptop--could this have triggered the problems I am now having?

  • My iTunes library is on a PC, includes items purchases from Apple but a lot that are not.  Can I sync the entire library (Apple purchases and others) with my iPAD and how?

    My itunes library is on my PC.  It has Apple purchased and other music.  Can I sync everything with my iPAD and how?  I'm having difficulties getting the "non-Apple" music sync'd.

    You should be able to sync them from your computer's iTunes to your iPad and/or iPhone. Connect your iPad or iPhone to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes to select and sync the music that you want in the iPad/iPhone's Music app

  • Need help getting tv shows back into itunes

    Okay, a little explanation is required before I get to my question
    I had some problems with my computer that to fix it, the geniuses did archive and install and deleted my user account, and set up a new one for me.
    After this, I was able to recover everything, and deleted the previous system it had created in my hard drive. The only problem I have encountered is that it will not let me put my tv shows that I have downloaded from the itunes store, back into itunes, despite the fact that it let me put all my music back.
    I want them in there, so that I can put them on my ipod, and I thought that when I updated my ipod it would just add the new stuff, and all my old stuff would still be there. But since it is synced with the old account, it says that it will delete my ipod and resync it, and I will be without my tv shows. I have also tried just dragging them into the ipod, but that doesn't work either.
    So my question is, how can I get them back into itunes without repurchasing them?

    Do the TV Shows actually appear in your iTunes library? If not, what happens when you try to add them?
    If the shows are in your library, have you checked your syncing prefs to see if they've defaulted. (TV Shows tab when iPod is connected.)
    Do you get any error messages related to this problem? Were the TV Shows and Music files purchased with same account? All they authorized on the same number of computers?
    Not sure, but I have read about deauthorizing then re-authorizing your account. But you're only allowed to do this once a year ---or maybe once a year on ALL accounts (if you have more than one). You might want to inquire or search the forum on this point before proceeding.
    Hope something here works for you...

  • Can you Download all Songs from ITunes Match onto Computer without having to click every cloud

    I am preparing to cancel my iTunes match service as I have moved from Australia to the UK and want the UK iTunes store but I cannot transfer over untill ITunes Match is canceled and before I do this I want to put all cloud music onto my ITunes and wondered if there was a quick way to do this. I don't want to click on every cloud icon.
    iTunes is the PC version

    Go to Edit > Select All. This will select all the songs in your library. Then right-click and select "Download."

  • Can you download OSX Mountain Lion more than once on your computers after paying the $19.99

    If I purchase mountain lion on my itunes/app store account, can I use that same account on my other mac to download mountain lion without paying another $19.99? I am currently waiting for my email for a free copy but If i can do multiple downlaods without paying extra, I would rather purchase it so I can download mountain lion on my ineligible computer and my newer one too

    yes, you can install ML on all the macs you own as long as you use the same Mac App Store ID singing into each of them.

  • How can I get my music back from iTunes to my iPod Touch?

    I just recently purchased an IMac.  My music was all on my hard drive on my old computer.  I went to sync some new music onto my Ipod Touch and Itunes deleted all my old music off of my Ipod Touch.  My new music synced fine but I lost over 500 songs!  I know....I should have tranferred them before I got rid of my old computer but since they were already on my Ipod Touch, I never dreamed that Itunes would delete them!  Anyway to get them back?

    If you have your hard drive from your old computer you can transfer it...
    ...but anotherway I don't know, not a genius on computers hehe.

  • HT2105 How do I get my money back from itunes that would not download but were charged to my gift card

    I received an itunes gift card for Christmas.  I was able to download about 10 songs but there are still 3 remaining that will not download after numerous attempts and I have already been charged for them.  What do I need to do at this point? Can the money be refunded?

    I am waiting for an answer! This is ridiculous!

  • Thinking that I was deleting from my iPod, I have inadvertently deleted a lot of music from my iTunes library.  I clicked for retaining on file rather than sending to trash.  How do I get this music back from file into my library?

    See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash or simply import the media folder back into the library. Restoring a recent backup of the .itl database will restore the original date added values, ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. that would otherwise be missing from the reimported media.
