Hard drive crashed can't get iphone to upload music back onto new computer

My hard drive crashed and lost everything.  New computer with ITunes...I can't get my IPhone to upload/sync to the computer

For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.

  • HELP! My hard drive crashed, can I copy my iTunes library files to a new PC

    My hard drive crashed, but I attached it as a slave drive using an older PC and I can see all of my files but I can't start any programs (iTunes) from this slave drive.
    How can I copy iTunes music files and library to a removable drive, and then use that drive to restore it all in iTunes on another PC? I would like to keep my playlists too.
    I have everything I want on my iPod too, can I just copy everything from my iPod to my new PC? Which is easier?

    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • HT1335 my hard drive crashed can i get the music from my ipod (windows)

    does anyone know how to get the music off my old ipod to my new computer?

    Some of the information below has subsequently been summarized and duplicated by turingtest2 in the document: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Hard drive crashed - can I recover my photos and music?

    Hi, the external hard drive that I stored all my music and photos on has crashed (I had a backup but it got damaged through a separate accident - not having a good week). I'm trying to recover lost data from the failed HDD but am not having much luck.
    My ipad has about 70% of the photos from my HDD and most of the music. Is there a way to transfer music and photos off my ipad back onto a HDD?
    Any help would be awesome. Thanks,
    Lee

    You can redownload purchased music.  But macs cannot backup to iCloud, thus cannot restore from it. Instead, restore your time machine backup to the new drive. everything will be as it was before.

  • I just had to get a new hard drive for my mac book pro and I have the old one saved onto a hard drive, how do I get all my saved info back onto the new hard drive?

    Are you recovering Lion or later Time Machine backup with a Lion or later machine?
    If you are, then use this article:

    Note, if recovering from a PowerPC Mac (iMac G5, PowerMac, Mac Mini G4, iBook, Powerbook), this tip is important:

    Otherwise use the recommended restore option with whatever backup software you used initially.

  • My old computer had itunes and downloaded songs that I put on my ipod. My old computer got replaced years ago without saving hard drive info or passwords and my iPod burnt out and will not activate. How can I get access to my old songs on new computer.

    My old computer had itunes and downloaded songs that I put on my ipod. Well, my old computer got replaced years ago without saving hard drive info or passwords and my iPod burnt out years ago and will not activate. I now have a new computer and iPod and I have an iTunes account on my iPhone5. How can I get access to my old songs on new computer? Are they lost for good? I have no info about my old computer and old account.

  • I have an iMac 21.5 inch purchased in 2011 with a failing 1TB Seagate hard drive. Can I get a replacement hard drive?

    I have an iMac 21.5 inch purchased in 2011 with a failing 1TB Seagate hard drive. Can I get a replacement hard drive thru the Apple Replacement Program? I did purchase the Applecare Plan but it expired in Dec. 2013.

    FWIW, if you purchased the iMac in 2011 and purchased Applecare, you are covered for a total of 3 years. You mentioned yours expired in December 2013 - that cannot be unless you bought yours in 2010. If you bought it in December 2011, you should still be covered until December 2014 - if so, contact Apple/make a Genius Bar appointment quickly so the replacement is covered by the warranty. The hard drive replacement program might have expired, but as long as you're covered by Applecare, a drive replacement is covered.

  • I accidently deleated file from the Elements organizor and from the hard drive. Can I get it back?

    I accidently deleated a file from the Elements organizor and from the hard drive. Can I get it back? How to do it?

    There's a good chance that you can if you haven't done too much work after deleting it.  Typically files are not actually wiped from the hard drive, rather the space they take is marked as free to use by another file if needed.  So if it hasn't been used by another file it can be recovered.
    Try this program...  it will help if you know where the images were stored.

  • I lost all my purchased songs when my hard drive.  Can I get another copy from Apple?

    I lost all my purchased songs when my hard drive.  Can I get another copy from Apple?

    Quite possibly, at least assuming you are based in the US. Install the latest build of iTunes, sign into the iTunes Store and click the Purchased entry in the Quck Links panel. Here in the UK I only get tabs fro Apps and Books but, if I understand correctly, you should also get a tab for Music. Click on the Not in My Library button and you should be able to download your purchases again.

  • My laptop hard drive crashed, used to have lion now it is back to snow leopard. how do i get it back to lion again?

    my laptop hard drive crashed, used to have lion now it is back to snow leopard. i lost all of my info, music, pictures, etc. how do i get it back to lion again? this is very frustrating because i paid $30 to download it and now i am unable to have it again.

    If your Mac is off then start up. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Option key until the Mac and Windows Disks show up. Then click on the Mac disk and the arrow below it. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.
    If you are in Windows then look for the Boot Camp icon on the taskbar. It will look like a gray box sitting on one corner. One of the options when you click it is to restart in Mac OS. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.

  • I had to replace my hard drive and can't get my Photoshop CS2  9.0.2 to activate.  I have tried both the phone and the website and have both the serial number

    I had to replace my hard drive and can't get my Photoshop CS2  9.0.2 to activate.  I have tried both the phone and the website and have both the serial numbers.  I can't find a number that works to speak to a live person at Adobe.  I need to reduce the pixel size TODAY on some photos and need the program.  Is there another way to reduce pixels if I can't get my Photoshop running today?

    Follow the prompts at the link provided by Ned.
    Everything's there including your new CS2 non-activation download file and your new non-activation serial number.
    It's free for existing owners of CS and CS2. Nothing more to purchase.

    Thanks, just so I know we are talking about the same items please let me know - When you say "run Prokit" do you mean downloaded? Which I did. I dont have Prokit 4.0.1 if you are referring to that, do I need this first? Please explain what application name I am looking for if other than Prokit which is sitting in my "download folder" do I need to manually put it into the apps folder? Sorry if the questions are layman but this area is not a very strong point for me. Thanks for your help so far.
