Hard drive crashed how do I get my tunes back

How do I recreate the itunes that I have purchased...I didn't back them up and my hd crashed...

If you fail to back up you will likely lose your music.
You can transfer purchases from an ipod:
File>Transfer Purchases
Backup, backup, backup

    If you have the media on an iDevice then you should be able to get most of your non-iTunes purchases back as well. See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options.

  • How do I get songs on my ipods back into my itunes library, which was lost due to hard drive crash, How do I get songs on my ipods back into my itunes library, which was lost due to hard drive crash

    Due to a hard drive crash I lost my entire Itunes library.  Majority of this was from an extensive CD library that I imported into itunes.  When I reloaded itunes and viewed my library I only found the titles purchased from itunes.  How do I get music off of an itune classic & itune nano ipods and put back into the library so I don't have to re import my extensive cd collection

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod. And here is a guide about how to transfer ipod songs back to computer. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Hard drive crashed how do I get back my music

    My hard drive crashed. I had some of my music backed up, but this was unexpected--the computer was new and I lost everthing! How do I get my purchases back?

    You really should be doing regular backups so it is up to date.
    If you are in the US you can reload the music

    If you have an IOS device you can transfer purchases

    Otherwise contact iTunes, no guarantees

  • My hard drive died, how can I get my pictures back from iPad onto a new library on the hard drive?

    Hi there,
    I have a Mac Book, and as it's a little older, and was getting full, I moved my iPhoto library onto an external hard drive. This external hard drive was always plugged in, and iPhoto used it as it's store so to speak.
    However, the hard drive has died which means I now have no access to any of my photo's.
    As I sync both my iPad and iPhone to iphoto in it entirity, at the minute I have ALL my photos on both my iPad and my iPhone.
    How can I recover the photo's onto my mac or new hard drive from the ipad or iphone? I don't dare plug either in at the minute as I don't want the Sync to remove the photos.
    HELP! Please!
    James

    Here's one way

  • I have lost my apps for my ipad when I did a sync. Not sure why, maybe because I had to replace a hard drive. How do I get my apps back, a lot of them.

    My hard drive got corrupted and I had to install a new hard drive and when I opened iTunes it asked if I wanted to sync which it did but then I lost all my apps I had on my iPad. I dont know why. I tried restoring from a previous backup, but that didn't work. I know I can reinstall the apps but I dont even remember all the ones I did have. Can anyone help.
    With kind regards
    Fadeela

    The apps that you had will be listed in your purchase history if you login to your account in iTunes on your computer - the list isn't very user friendly though as it's listed by date order and will include all app updates that you've downloaded (so an app will appear multiple times if you've downloaded it's updates). You can re-download apps, though it's a manual process as you need to find them yourself in the app store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 .
    If the apps are in your iTunes library then the restore might work - a backup contains app data/settings, but not the app itself, so without the app available to it the restore can't install the app and therefore it's content.

  • Computer Hard Drive Crashed-How do I get songs FROM ipod to iTunes on comp?

    I have tried the "Transfer Purchases from Ipod" and then it gives me an error message that the computer is not "authorized". I go thru the authorization process and it tells the authorization was successful, but then when I re-try the Transfer, I get the same message!!! Help!!!

    This might help...
    Plug in the iPod and open iTunes. Now go to the top and click 'File' go down till you see 'Transfer Purchases from "(the name of the iPod)'. Doing this will retreve all of the purchased songs off the iPod. The songs that were put on with CDs are easy to replace. If some songs don't show up your lolcal library might have the CDs.

    My old hard drive crashed and had to get it replaced. How do I reinstall my old library to the new hard drive from my iphone4s so I don't lose my music?

    Officially you don't. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with 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 purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

    I had to install a new hard drive. How do I get Lion to reinstall w/o paying $29.95 again?

    Boot into Internet Recovery
    If your Mac problem is a little less common — your hard drive has failed or you’ve installed a hard drive without OS X, for example — Internet Recovery takes over automatically. It downloads and starts Lion Recovery directly from Apple servers over a broadband Internet connection. And your Mac has access to the same Lion Recovery features online. Internet Recovery is built into every newly-released Mac starting with the Mac mini and MacBook Air.

    A shared folder popped up in my hard drive. How do I get him out?

    Try using the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option in iMovie.  That will save the movie to the Movies folder on your hard drive and make it available in iDVD's media browser to drag into a menu window. If the movie contains chapters two entires will be created in the main menu: Play Movie and Scene Selection.
