Get Deleted music back onto the iPod

Ok ,so my computer tech not only deleted the songs from my music library but he also took them off of my iPod because he forgot to select the "manually update" option. I need to know if there is any way for me to get my purchased music (that I bought from the music store) back w/o re-buying all of my songs. iTunes should keep a record or something shouldn't they?

Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased tracks. It's your responsibility to make backup copies in case something goes wrong with your system and you lose all the information on your hard drive. If you haven't made a backup on CD/DVD or another hard drive you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your tracks.
You can try contacting iTunes Music Store Customer Service and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis, but don't count on it.

I deleted my music through the "manage storage" section in the options to make room for the ios update awhile back. Now I can't get any music back onto my device through itunes. (I've tried restoring the device twice to no avail)

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

How do i get recovered music back on my ipod

I have nano 1st generation and got a new computer when reinstalling ipod and itunes, I inadvertenly restored my ipod and wiped it clean of music, so I bought Stella ipod recovery system and it appears to have recovered all my music however i don't know how to get the music back onto my ipod or itunes library? It will only go to windows media player?

Did you use the File -> Add to Library option in iTunes to re-import this music into iTunes? Another way to do the same thing is drag these files from Windows Explorer into iTunes (assuming they are in an iTunes compatible format).

We transferred purchases / synced an iPod touch to a toshiba laptop, and then updated the ipod. we can no longer put the files back onto the ipod. what are we doing wrong]

we transferred purchases and synced from a iPod touch to a toshiba laptop, after it updated and synced again we have been unable to put the files back onto the ipod. the computer will not let us drag or copy paste files, and when we tried to " export" the library to the documents folder, it only showed up in code. we have books and music we would like to reload to the ipod.

Hello Jean164,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are unable to manually put your content back on your iPod Touch.
It seems like you may need to re enable Manually Manage Music now that the device has been updated, and this article should help with that.

thanks for the reply. guess i'll have to do that. apple, not really happy with what you've done with this latest update. have not been able to enjoy my music in my car since the update. most of us dont mind changes that progress timely, but this was much more than just a progression. this was a complete change. and not a good one, at all. thanks to the two people that replied. appreciate it.

Lost all my music on my iPod touch. Now I can't reload it from my computer because it states that it is in the cloud. How do I get my music back on my iPod touch so I can listen when I'm out of wifi range.

I was trying to fix the "ghost" songs on my ipod touch 4th generation today. Somehow I ended up deleting all my songs from the touch. Now when I try to get them back from my computer it states that they have to be downloaded from the icloud first. Don't know how to do this or why I can't just drag and drop the music from the computer back onto my ipod touch.

Follow the instructions here:

Help! How do I get my iTunes music back onto my iPod?

We had to format our hard drive; when I connected my iPod afterward, all of my songs were erased. The music I purchased is listed in my iTunes purchase history, but I don't know how to get it back onto my iPod.
Can anyone help me to get it back?

You'll need the assistance of some sort of third party software. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering a few different possiblities.

Can't get my paid movies, tv shows, and music back onto my iPod

I paid for a few movies, tv shows and songs for my iPod, and then my computer broke. I needed to get it fixed and so i lost all of my data including the music and movie files. Is there anyway that I can get those already paid movie and music files back onto my iPod without having to pay for them again?

If the purchased items are on your ipod, I assume they aren't according to your post, you can connect the ipod or iphone to itunes.
Click no if a message comes up that this ipod is synced with another computer, would you like to sync with this computer?
At the top of itunes, click on file and choose transfer purchases.
Now if the purchased items are not on your ipod or iphone, contact the itunes store support and let them know what happened.
Here is a link to the itunes store support site that has an email form at the bottom.

How do I get my music back onto my mac ?

I had to reinstall OX Lion and now all my itunes are only on my iPhone.
How do I get them back onto the iMac?

Hey been there, done that. I moved my music to another external drive and accidentally deleted too much in the process. So the songs are still in iTunes but the Mac can't find them. Not surprisingly.
iCloud and Match are useless as iCloud says about all my songs on the Mac: "Downloaded". What a big help. Transfer purchases didn't work. Not via the iPhone, not via the iPad.
I tried various fixes and loads of software but the first thing that has actually worked is Touchcopy12 for Mac. Sporting a brand-new 2013 Mini now, I tried one song first and when it worked (eureka!) I purchased the software and it's now copying 1800 songs to my external hard drive, right from my iPhone 5.
Not that it was the end of the world but it's nice to have your music when you're at the computer.
