Getting music back after computer goes down.
The hard drive went out on my computer. I have a new one now. How do I get all my Itunes (including the ones not purchased at Itunes) music files back?
If the hard drive itself is mechanically dead (not just Windows or the computer making it appear dead) and your not willing to spend over $2000 at a platter level recovery service, then your out of luck basically, you should have made backups of your music.
If you have a iDevice, (iPod etc) there is third party software that can recover the files off of it and onto your new computer, regardless of the source of the music..
You'll have to ask at iLounge because we can't recommned software that can be used to violate copyrights here.
If your hard drive itself is not mechanically dead, you really dont know this unless you pull it out of the computer and use a enclosure or a IDE/SATA to USB adatapor cable to hook it up to another Windows PC, there are ways to recover the files.
So is the hard drive really DEAD DEAD? or is the comptuer not booting from the hard drive because Windows or the computer is fscked for other reasons (malware, dead power supply etc.)
Because if the hard drive works, I can post how to recover the files from a dead PC.

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. -
Getting music back after formatting computer
I am a music teacher and use iTunes for all my recorded music. Over the summer, my school upgraded our computers to WIndows 7. Is there a way to get my music back? I spent a ton of money on all of it and would hate for it to all be gone... I have it on my iPod but can't figure out how to get it back on my computer. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks so much!
Use your backup copy. This is one of the reasons that always maintaining a backup is basic.
If you have failed to do so, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:

When restoring my computer from sleep mode, the monitor flashes on briefly and then goes off. It takes multiple times of cycling the power on the monitor before it styays on. It is currently connected by an analog cable.
Have you tested what happens if you disable power save mode at monitor?

Phone Apple Support and order replacement disks, or restore it from backup, or if your computer supports it, upgrade the OS and buy iPhoto from the Mac App Store.

After sync my music disappeared. Now I cannot get music back on phone. I selected playlists and triedeven loading allmusic.I have one song on my phone and cannot load any music back on it. Is there a setting I may have selected that needs to be changed???
Okay. I hope I can remeber all my steps exactly because I fixed my own problem...with absolutely no help from Apple. I opened itunes. I connected my ipod touch to my computer. On my itunes page that shows my songs in the upper right side under the search library box there is an itunes button and since I am connected there is an ipod button. DO NOT CLICK THE ARROW in the ipod button...just click in the mail part of the button. On mine it opened to a summary page that gave info on my ipod. The menu bar has Summary, Apps, Tones, Music and more. I clicked on the Music button. I chose to Sync the entire music library. That replaced what was on my ipod but what was on there was going to be put back on so I was okay with it. I then clicked the Sync button on the lower right side and it sync'd and all my songs are on my ipod again. I hope this might help someone else. Good luck.

A update(6.1.5) was available for my ipod 4 and an error occurred. Itunes is telling me to restore my ipod, but i know that if i restore my ipod everything will be erased. But will i have the opinion to get everything back after i restore my ipod? I dont have any music, but i have about 14000 photos. And none of my photos are saved to my laptop. Help Please!
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

Internet goes stale after computer goes to sleep and then needs to be rebooted to function properly

10.10.1 osPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

I cannot find my photos or contacts. Help how do I get them back after a iclound backup was done due to needed to get a new iphone. HELP
I believe I had leopard and I was having issues getting errors of system not being supported. I contacted Apple and was advised I needed to upgrade to snow leopard. My laptop is from 2009 and I haven't done anything to it till now. The apple rep also stated I should do a fresh install when putting snow leopard on so my laptop would run faster. Apple rep told me to get a external hard drive to put my info on it so the fresh install would reset everything to like it was brand new. I had someone help me with getting everything on the EHD.. doing the right format and such and then once that was done I put in the CD for snow leopard and hit install. Which brings me to now, with everything but my pictures. I have the EHD plugged in... now what? What do I do? I have looked in the EHD in iphoto and it was all standard images *not my pictures but images of a check mark or an arrow again not actual pictures. I don't see a folder pictures and i looked for images and found nothing. I have Applications, Included Free Designs, Library, System, User Guides and Information and Users, those are my options and non of those have a "pictures"
I have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 & Mac OS X version 10.6.3 -

Trying to upgrade iPad software to newest version. It downloads but stops while backing up and says not enough space on hard drive to back up if i continue all media on iPad will be lostor deleted. Can I get it back after upgrade by just synching or can I set it to backup to an external drive? Thanks for any help. I only use the laptop for itunes now as it has such little space left.
I would recommend deleting contents off your hard-drive to make space (how much is left..you should be having 15% free as a general practice) and backing up the phone prior to upgrading.

My ipad tells me that my icloud email is already used. That is true. The one whom it is assigned to is me. How can I get it back after deleting it?
Deleting an email account for the the mail app will not have any effect on ther AppleId and its use for other services. You need to delete the old ID and set up the new one for other services suxch as FaceTime, App store, etc.
It sounds like you are trying to set up a new ID rather that just adding your old one back in. Or maybe I'm missing something.
