Downloaded iTunes 7 and alot of my songs are gone????

I downloaded iTunes 7 and half my songs are gone. Also how do I get iTunes to find the music I have saved on my computer without doing it one by one??? Please help as I am really frustrated and wanting to return my ipod =(

Edit > Preferences > Store check Music under Automatic Downloads.
Open the iTunes Store from left hand column, then select Purchasedfrom the column on the right, click the Not In My Library button and select the tunes you want to download again.
That said, you seem to be under a misapprehension as to how iTunes works, or at least how it has worked in the past. It has, until recently, been up to you take care of your purchases once they have been downloaded. You had a one-time download which you were reminded to back up. With the recent change to this policy you can at least download your store purchases again, but having a personal backup of your iTunes store purchases, stuff purchased elsewhere and files ripped from your CDs will still be preferable to gathering all the stuff together again in the event of a disaster.
For a backup strategy see this User Tip.

  • I have updated to iTunes 10 and now my unchecked songs are playing... I don't want this and can't figure out how to have it like it was before (not playing unchecked songs). Please help!

    I have updated to iTunes 10 and now my unchecked songs are playing... I don't want this and can't figure out how to have it like it was before (not playing unchecked songs). Please help! I leave the unchecked songs in there b/c there will come a point in time where I want to listen to these songs but right now I don't.

    yes, 10.3.1, iTunes already restarted, menu settings already like that and still it will play all unchecked songs (including the checked songs of course). Why even have check and unchecked if the program is going to play all of them anyway?!
    thanks for responding though...

  • HT204406 The songs on my computer itunes playlist and my iphone playlist songs are not matching up. I do see new songs I've added on my computer playlist on my iphone playlist but the songs are not in the same order. How do I get them to match?

    Playlists matching on computer and iphone?  The playlists on my computer in itunes are not matching up with the "match" playlist on my iphone.  New songs do show up when I add them to a playlist, but the songs are all in different order.  If I edit a playlist on my computer how do I get it to match on my iphone?

    Restore them to the new computer using the bakcup of the old one. If you don't have a backup of the old computer, you can re-download music purchased from the iTunes store. If they were imported from CD's, etc. You will either have to re-rip them or purchase third party software to extract them from the phone. The iPhone is not a backup or data transfer device.

  • ITunes Library "damaged"? All my songs are gone now! =(

    So i start itunes the other day, and it gives me a message that my itunes library has been "damaged" and now all my songs/playlists/purchased music is gone. The files are still there in their folders, but gone from itunes.
    I did some research online on how to fix this, yet i still have some questions......
    first, why does/did this happen in the first place!??!!?!?
    second, how can i fix the original file so i can restore my playlists and songs? i know i can rename a file from the previous librarys, but it ***** for me because i just recently added to my playlists and purchased new music and do not want to go back to where i was at about a month ago.
    my main question, HOW CAN I FIX MY "DAMAGED LIBRARY" FILE TO RESTORE MY LIBRARY TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE RIGHT BEFORE THIS HAPPENED? I have tried to simply rename the file by removing the "(damaged)" tag on the file name, but when i start itunes it gives me the same message and my songs/playlists are still not there.
    Thankyou.

    Sorry, but i had the same problem & I had to manually re-import all of my songs & videos & re-tag them all & re-organize in playlists and everything! Now if there is another way around it, I have no idea. It happened to me because iTunes froze on my Mac & I had to force quit. When I re-opened iTunes I was in the same boat you are..... I know that isn't any help, but I feel your pain!

  • I backed up my iphone to my itunes account and now all my contacts are gone can I get them back?

    I backed my Iphone up to my new Itunes account and I have lost all my contacts.  Please tell me there is a way I can get them back?

    Check this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    This is what it says under "iTunes will back up the following information":
    Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.
    Sounds like you may have experienced some of the "contact data loss".  I suggest using iCloud in the future.

  • I just downloaded itunes match and started playing one song (country) and in the middle of the song it started paying another song.

    I just purchased itunes match, started playing a song and in the middle of the song it started playing another song (not on my playlist) still showing the image of the original song.

  • TS1424 downloaded an album and some of the songs are skipped.  They are in the list but, it skips over the song

    I downloaded "O Brother Where Art Thou" and four of the 19 songs will not play.  The are skipped in the purchased play list and in music list.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • I downloaded an album and all of the songs are missing a large amount of audio. For most of the songs, the sound cuts out and skips to the next song.

    The album is "The Mantle" by Agalloch. Whenever I try to play a song, it will skip to the next song. For example, the song "Odal" ALWAYS stops playing at 12 seconds in.
    If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Does this happen with all tracks? Has iTunes ever played music correctly on the computer?
    Check out this Apple document -> iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly
    If you bought thte album from iTunes and its the only one having a problem, you should contact the iTunes Store with Express Lane.

  • Updated iPod touch and now all the songs are gone.

    So I decided to update my iPod touch to iOS 5, and it took a good 13 hours for it to "back up." So I let it happen and I set it up and all again, and I turn it on and everything is gone. So I go to iCloud and back up on my device and all my apps and pictures came back. However, my music was still gone. But when I plug my iPod in and go to iTunes, ALL of my music is in the music tab under my device, and it all plays perfectly! So pretty much, all my music is shown on iTunes under my device, yet no music is on my actual device. I'm in a dilemma because I don't have all the music I had on my iPod in my iTunes library. Also, when I try to add songs to my iPod, it's not working at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Non-iTunes purchased media is not included in your iCloud backup and no synced media like apps and music are in a backup that iTunes makes on your computer. If you subscribed to iTunes Match you can get those back through Match.

  • I updated my 3Gs and most of my songs are gone and I only have 4 apps!

    why did this happen? I need help!

    According to other forums this is simply caused because of a backup problem (this can be any number of things). You can either restore to the backup yourself (if the backup is not corrupted and still available) sync everything back on manually
    Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
    Thanks
