Computer got wiped,can I get music to stay when I sync?

Hello there,
My computer got wiped, but I have'nt synced my Iphone with it yet. If I back up my files then sync can i get that music back on my computer and Iphone?

Was all music that is available on your iPhone purchased from the iTunes Store on your iPhone?
If not, how did the music that is on your iPhone get there?
If all music that is available on your iPhone was purchased from the iTunes Store on your iPhone, first you need to authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. After doing so with your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
If you synced your iPhone with iTunes on someone else's computer for the music that is available on your iPhone, and this music was purchased with someone else's iTunes account, you won't be able to do this transfer.
Without a computer backup available that includes your iTunes library, your iTunes library is lost.

  • How do I get my Purchases back after my computer got wiped, Can I re-download them for free?

    How do I get my Purchases back after my computer got wiped, Can I re-download them for free? and how?

    You buy one and only one download of music/vids/tv shows/movies.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Can't get rid of alert when I sync

    I just don’t get it. When I sync an iPhoto folder to the iPhone I get the follow alert: Some of your photos, including the photo “PICT0018.JPG”, were not copied to the iPhone “Fname Lname’s iPhone” because they cannot de displayed on your iPhone.
    I searched iPhoto for all picts numbered 0018 and I’m not syncing any of them. I went to my iPhone ‘set up’ in iTunes and removed all the photos, removed the iPhoto folder where I had 4 pictures that I was syncing, made a new folder with one picture to sync, applied the sync and got the same alert on my iPhone.
    I would like to remove the alert – which appears to be doing something with iPhoto that I can’t figure out. I searched through the discussions and see that one fix might be resetting the iPhone – any other solutions?

    Same problem here. Some photos get uploaded, but they look weird -- stripes of color, some parts not getting rendered at all...
    It seems that something is getting messed up in the optimization step.
    I'm guessing this is probably a problem with the newest version of iTunes.
    Note that I also get the same problem when copying pictures to the iPhone that were created on iPhone. They should work fine, since they are in apple format anyway.
    I've also tried doing a folder sync and an Adobe PS Album sync. Same problem with both, but different photos get copied/messed up.
    Note: I'm running iTunes under Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

  • Can't get music in itunes library to sync to iphone

    What have you done so far to sync music to your iPhone? Is it iTunes music, or music from other sources (such as MP3s or CDs)?

  • Hey there, I have an iPhone 3g that was synced to my computer. My computer got stolen with all my music on it. I have a new computer but I can't sync my computer to my iPhone. How can I recover everything that's on my iPhone 3g to my computer?

    If your backup copy of your computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.
    Otherwise, authorize your computer for your itunes account, connect iphone, do not sync, Click:  File>Transfer Purchases
    This will transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer.
    Enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer.  When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • How can I get music from old mac to new mac?

    How can I get music from old mac to new mac please?
    Can't seem to make Migration Assistant work. Doesn't ask about or transfer files.

    I just migrated into a new MBP from an old one.
    It did not bring the music over.  Apple's instructions are to use the Home Sharing feature of iTunes.
    Open iTunes on your old Mac.  Select Home Sharing under the Advanced menu.  Sign in.  Do the same on your new computer.  Then when the library appears under Home Sharing on the left-hand panel on your new computer's iTunes, you can select all and Add To Library.
    That's what Apple says, anyway.

  • Can I get music back after formating cpu?

    Can I get music back after formating cpu?

    If the music was RIP'd from CD, then the fastest way is to restore from your backup.
    Since it sounds like you did not have a backup, you will need to reRIP them from your CDs. Nothing else you can do.
    iTunes purchases you can redownload. Open iTunes, go to the store, click on Purchases on the right side under Quick links.
    Then tell the tech who formatted it for you without making a backup or making sure teat YOU made a backup that his rear end has a vacancy sign and your foot is looking for a place to rent.
    and you should make a backup right now of your computer and update teh backup after you RIP all the CDs.
    And make it a regualr practice, like weekly, depending on how much you want to lose.

  • How can i get music from my ipod nano to my iphone 4s?

    How can i get music on my ipod nano to my iphone 4s?

    iPods (except iPod touch which is really an iPhone minus the phone) only sync with your computer running iTunes.  So it needs to go through the computer.
    Since you loaded the iPod from your computer's iTunes library, you can just load the same songs from your iTunes library to the iPad.

  • How can i get music to not show up on my phone that i dont want there

    how can i get music to not show up on my phone that i dont want there

    If the app is G-Toolkit and you have a Gmail app on your iPhone, delete the Gmail app.  Apparently the G-Tool kit is tied to a Gmail app.  From searching the web my impression is that G-Toolkit is not spyware and is from a legitimate company that produces app for several platforms.

  • I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?

    I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?

    Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
    It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
    Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
    http://refit.sourceforge.net/
    This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
    I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
    There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education.

    You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right?  If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
