Recovering library after hard disk crash

My PC hard disk crashed and I lost my library - no back-up. Can I recover it by transferring music from my iPod back o nto the computer? (Note: I did not manually transfer iTunes files onto my iPod before I lost the data.) Rleated question is how can I recover purchased music if not backed up - any way to download again?

I had the exact same problem you have. I no longer have the computer that I downloaded a short program that will repair your problem so can't recall the name. Go to www.Versiontracker.com and you will find a Ipod sub group on the first page. There are a hundred or so programs that you can take a look, a few of them will repair your problem. Good Luck.

HT1473 My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone. If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone. Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes

My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone. If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone. Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes?

Thanks, but ringtones not purchased from iTunes, created them just before computer crashed.just before the next scheduled biweekly backup.
I found and downloaded TouchCopy 12 for PC and was able to copy the ringtones from my iPhone to my Windows laptop very easily. It also enables you to transfer photos, memos, voice messages, etc.

TS3212 My hard disk crashed and I've gotten a new one and can't download iTunes, any suggestions?

I had a hard disk crash on my laptop, got it replaced and am using Windows 7 and trying to re-install iTunes using Google Chrome, but it keeps saying thank you for downloading iTunes without giving me the option to run or save the program first. And of course I cannot find it or a shortcut to it anywhere on my system. So it's obviously not downloading. Anybody know how to fix this issue??

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT6207 can someone please tell me if there is any problem if i download this. i am asking this question as i was in trouble when i had installed maverick [hard disk crashed]s

Well it does detect the camera, under USB in the System Profiler it says "FaceTime-HD-camera (built-in)". But the image distortion.
Since you can't see the image, here's a description: it shows horizontal lines all over the place in the image, and the lines are quite tall and they contain part of the image but moved horizontally to the left or right, and in a different color as well. So for example you could see part of my face but there is a horizontal bar where my eyes are located in, and it is moved to the left so that my eyes are at the left of my face. I hope that made some sense...
Will try to get to an Apple store next week.

How do I transfer iPhone content back to laptop after hard disk crash

My old hard disk crashed a week ago. How do I transfer all my iPhone content (music, apps, podcasts, ...) back to my laptop after having a new hard disk installed?

I do have all the backups, but this means that I'd have to individually look up each App, then download it again. Isnt there a simpler way? Doesnt Apple keep an index of some sort of all the items I have purchased, so that a one-click procedure may restore the latest versions of all of them with ease?
A few years ago I adopted the strategy to keep everything on the web. With now over 20 GB on the web, it just doesnt make sense to do this any more. After the mess up with my hard disk, as far as my documents go, every time I edit any of them, I simply back them up individually onto 2 separate external drives, and burn them on CDs once a week. Having had 4 major hard disk crashes since 1989, I dont really trust automated backup programs any more. I'm much happier if I know where EXACTLY my documents are at any point in time.

Satellite C660-1CV - hard disk crashed in 2 days

I have purchased Toshiba laptop(C660-1CV) from a local dealer just before two days. I had loaded VMware along with couple of VMs and some other important software.
In spite of my company insisting for lenevo I had gone for Toshiba because I trust the brand and I have had real good experience with Toshiba. Today morning that is after two days of purchase of laptop the hard disk crashed and I got a black screen no OS prompt, nothing. My dealer said he cannot do anything I have to take it to Al Futtiam service center. The service center guy just re-connected the hard disk and it didnt work, he straight away made a statement that hard disk needs to be replaced and it will another 4 to 5 days. He said for taking a back-up of your data I have to pay 99 AED. Isnt that strange enough ??? My own laptop which is just 2 days old crashed and I have to pay for getting my data. The technical guy did not do any other troubleshooting except reconnecting the hard disk.
I want to escalate it to the right level in Toshiba. if anybody has any contacts in UAE region pass it on to me.

Hi pmavani,
Im sorry to hear that that HDD died after 2 days that not normally but such things can happen, especially with HDD that is a mechanical part. But dont worry this case is covered by warranty so you can get a new HDD for free from an authorized service provider and as the guy said it takes 4 or 5 days. Thats ok so the notebook can repaired within one week.
> He said for taking a back-up of your data I have to pay 99 AED. Isnt that strange enough ???
No, thats not strange enough. Warranty doesnt cover backup, you have to do this yourself. Thats the reason why you should install and configure backup software before you do anything.

After Hard Disk Crash...Upgraded to iOS4. Backed Up before...result?

Fact:
1) Hard disk crashed
2) Replaced with a new and bigger drive
3) Installed iTunes
4) Connected my iPod Touch, clicked on Cancel on "Synced to another library...OK to erase message".
5) iTunes suggested upgrade to iOS4
6) Clicked OK on backup before upgrading
7) Upgrade result: OK
8) Selected Restore from Backup
9) All Apps OK, empty content. No music, no playlists, no movies, no podcasts.
Guess my mistake was, trusting that the backup before upgrading would work flawlessly. I do have a backup on an external hard drive, but is kind of old and is missing several iTunes purchased songs as well as movies.
Like many others, I had to try several times to get the backup/upgrade to work. When I click on "Restore from Backup" it gives me the option of Restoring from my iPod's name (you know the results) and one "unknown" backup. Should I try that one, just in case it has my library? Where can I look for that file in Windows? By the size, I'll know if that is the one that contains all my data.

What backup does is save your settings on your touch, not your Library. So I guess that was a basic misunderstanding on your part.
Backing up your Library would have been a good idea before you installed the new hard drive, but you do have the slightly older one available to you. You can transfer that library to your current hard drive, tell iTunes that the computer is authorized (new hard drive or OS install is perceived as a new computer) and synch your content back on. Applications you may have lost can be downloaded again at no charge. Sometimes the iTunes people will allow you to redownload lost music and videos.

How do I recover tunes from my iPod after a hard disk crash?

I've just received my PowerMac back after a hard disk crash and am having to reinstall all software etc.
My iPod obviously contains all the music I'd downloaded from the iTunes music store and all the CD's I'd loaded manually into iTunes.
I can't see any way of copying the tunes on my iPod back into my iTunes library...
Can anyone help?
I had to use a data recovery tool to recover data from my disk after the crash and it's going to be a really long job to sort out what's what...
JJ

You can't sync or drag your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. I use Senuti but check the others out and choose whichever you prefer.

Reinstall emailaccounts and emails after hard disk crash ?

Ist there a way to reinstall my email accounts and email after a hard disk crash ?
Have a backup available, but unfortunately not the email settings for the mail program, so i cannot do it via "backup".
How do I get my email accounts and emails (they are available in the library) back in the mail program.
If it is difficult doing it manually is there a program which can help?
Kind regards
Ernest
