  • Missing Music Files - How Can I Retrieve Them???

    I opened my computer this morning and was shocked to find everything in my iTunes library was gone, and all the default settings had been restored. I attempted to do a search for my music files, and found nothing, but the strangest thing is I still have the same amount of hard space available, which leads me to believe that my files are still somewhere on my computer, but I can just not see them forr some reason. Can I find my files, and if so how? I also tried to connect my iPod touch in the hopes that i could restore the files from there, and my computer did not even register that the iPod was connected.

    Could you please give me the exact product number for your computer? What version of Windows are you using?
    If you need help finding it, you can use the following link:

  • Ringtones load to music file how can i send them to the right place?

    When I use a ringtone app on my ipad it sends the ringtone to my music lib. I cant drag drop it to ringtone file- WHATS THE PROBLEM?

    I found out what the problem was. I had to click "Bookmarks" and then "Show All Bookmarks"--this brought me to the "Library" window and from there I was able to restore my old bookmarks. I'm running Firefox 25.0 (which I just downloaded today), so I don't know if that would have made any difference to your particular instructions.
    However, I finally managed to get things straightened out and will mark this particular problem as "solved." Thanks for your assistance.

  • Can iTunes Import Nokia DRM Protected Music Files

    I have 10000s of downloads from Nokia's Comes With Music / Ovi Music Unlimited.  Ignoring the issues over the 25k limit, these are DRM protected downloads runnable from Nokia phones and any computer I nominate with a 90 day period before allowing a reswitch.  Will iTunes Match recognise the Nokia DRM protected music files and give me a DRM free product at a higher bitrate?

    You won't be able to match non-Apple DRM downloads - you'd have to find a way to strip the DRM off first.  For example, Rhapsody had recommended ripping their protected DRM files by burning to CD (as well as Yahoo! Music and Walmart) so that way the DRM layer would be removed at the expense of sound quality.    I'm not sure how this service works but iTunes probably won't be able to import them as-is.
    You probably don't even need to subscribe to iTM to test this - just install iTunes and try to import the files - if you can't import them into iTunes, then iTM definitely won't work.

  • Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • I just exported some music from Amazon to iTunes but now I can't find my original iTunes music. How can I find them?

    I just exported some music from Amazon to iTunes but now I can't find my original iTunes music. How can I find them?

    I did this by going into the folder where the Amazon MP3's were and copied the link into iTunes under the add file link in the menu. This music was purchased before I had an iTunes account so I wasn't aware that they could've been automatically exported. I still have the iTunes MP3s on my iPhone. Could I sync them over or something to that extent because I can't find the files at all even when doing a system search.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain  abackup copy of your computer.  Do you not have a backup copy?

    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

    For other media you have to get them from where you originally obtained them

  • Purchased vs Protected Music Files

    I have purchased many, many songs on iTunes and my Palm Pre played them all in the past.  However, some of the music files are now showing up as Protected ACC Audio files as opposed to Purchased ACC Audio files.  The Protected files won't play on my Pre.  Is there a solution for this?  Can I convert the protected songs to another format to allow them to play?

    I have the same problem, all music purchased from Itunes does not play on my palm pre.

    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Lost music files? where to retrieve them!

    Hello all,
    I have a slight problem. I was trying to delete duplicate music files and instead of deleting the files in my music folder while in Itunes one by one, I chose to do it by deleting all of the music and reimporting them by going to File>>Add Folder To Library>> option in Itunes. Under the Itunes preferences settings, it says that my Itunes Media folder is located in C:\Documents and Settings\myname\My Documents\My Music\Itunes\ItunesMusic. i go thei to look for all the music and they're not there. I know I did not delete them of the computer because theyre not in my recycling bin. Yes, unfortunately, I'm on Windows so I am desperate right now because I feel like I lost my music collection. Will somone please help. Thanks so much in advsnce.
    Best Regards,

    Mail rules are stored in iCloud if you use iCloud.
    They're in ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~mail/Data/MailData/SyncedRules.plist.
    Note you should be VERY careful about modifying anything under Mobile Documents as it's iCloud and changes/errors/deletions you make will be instantly synched to all your devices.

  • Broken music files. Tool to fix them?

    I had a very large number of music files on a drive on my PC that went bad, and now all the files have corrupted file names, although they are still recognizable as music files. I'd like to import these files into iTunes on my Mac. Is there software that can analyze the files and fix the broken file names?

    You can go look in Doug's Scripts and see if there is an Apple Script that will help you - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/index.php
