Have no music in my itunes all lost?

Hi please can you help me have just turned on my itunes to load a cd and ahve found no music in my itunes at all every thing lost why??

For what silly reason would someone expect media to magically appear simply because they signed into iTunes?
Media is only where the user puts it.
Either copy the media from the old computer (or it's backup) to the new computer or download past purchases from iTunes.

I have "Sync music" unchecked on iTunes and I have cleared all my music from my iPhone.
On my Mac, on itunes (version 11.4) if you click on "on this phone", there are still remaining 70 songs...

What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account." The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases. It is also used with iCloud. iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod. If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked). If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod. When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library. Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

How to watch music video in itunes all ready purchased ?
please help me leave me a reply okay:)?????!!

Hi dantheman302,
I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear on your exact question. If you are talking about watching something that you have previously purchased but is no longer in your iTunes Library for whatever reason, you should be able to redownload it from the iTunes Store in most instances. You may find the steps outlined in the following article helpful:

HT204074 I have our music collection on iTunes Match for my PC, ipad and iphone. Can I share that music collection with my wife so she can play that with her iphone? Even though she has a different Apple ID from me?

Her iPhone will need to be set up to iTunes Match using your Apple ID to be able to share music via iTunes Match. Otherwise you'll have to download the music to your computer and then copy those tracks into her iTunes library, assuming hers is separate.

Do you have Logitech gaming software installed on the PC? If so, perhaps try the suggestion from the following post:

Are you manually managing your songs?
In itunes - music do you see checkmarks next to your musis/songs. IF so go find your new songs click on it and then sync your music again.

I have downloaded music to my Itunes library from CDs and want to copy the music to blank CDs. Is there a way to achieve this?

Make a playlist of the items you want to burn, put a blank cd in the drive and burn the playlist to it.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Tried upgrading quicktime and now am told to reinstall itunes - all LOST?

I tried to update my quicktime to the 7.0 version I believe and it automatically comes with itunes. I already HAD itunes on my computer.
Now I can't access itunes and am told to reinstall it. I did not backup my music from the itunes store (cause I'm stupid) and now am worried that it's all lost.
What do I do?

The music should be perfectly safe; uninstalling iTunes shouldn't affect that.
To be sure, back up the entire 'iTunes' folder in My Documents\My Music.
Then:
Uninstall iTunes
Reinstall from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download

I appear to have duplicate music in my iTunes

How do I get rid of duplicate music from my iTunes library, I appear to have almost twice as much music taking up storage, when I ask iTunes to show duplicates there is a massive list revealed. How does this happen and how can I delete them.

You can't transfer songs from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store (you can also re-download them using the iTunes Store Purchased screen). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer, drag the files (or the folder containing the files) to the iTunes window, to add them to the iTunes library.

I've just moved all my iTunes folders from C drive to another drive (E), and all of a sudden I have no music in my iTunes. How do I get my music back all in one place?

I've tried importing the iTunes library file and it just doesn't seem to work. Help, please!

Hold down shift as you start iTunes, click Choose, then navigate to the iTunes folder on E:\. Should all get fixed.

Is it possible to store music on a time capsule and have the music linked to iTunes without taking up space on the computer?

I have a macbook air and a time capsule. I want to store my music on the time capsule without having to transfer the files to my computer to link them to itunes. Is this possible?
Thanks

Yes, but before going into details, it is not a good idea. You should always have a backup drive and the Time Capsule (TC) serves as that. If you place all your iTunes files only on the TC, when the TC drive fails (as it definitely will someday) all your files will be lost because you don't have a backup.* The solution is to buy yet another external hard drive either as a backup drive or a storage drive. I believe these can be attached to a TC but I don't have one so I don't know the details.
Options for remote iTunes storage> One is to put only some media on the external. Not such a good idea and tricky to manage, but some want music on their comptuer and bulky movies on an external. Another option is to keep only media on the external and your library files on the internal. No real advantage unless you have a family with shared media but individual iTunes libraries, plus it can be tricky to do future moves. The best solution is to move your whole iTunes library to the external. Drag the whole iTunes folder to the external. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the library.itl file (the library file) in the folder on the external. Note, the external drive will always have to be attached before starting iTunes or iTunes will revert to putting a library on your internal drive. If you forget, quit iTunes and re-do the option key start.
*Don't rely upon being able to redownload from Apple. It's a convenience, not a backup. Some things can't be redownloaded, and all Apple stores is media, not individaual library files which is what you see when you open iTunes.

Have Moved Music...Itunes cannot fine

I have recently purchased an external hard drive due to the fact that I have downloaded so many songs and it was filling up my hard drive. I have moved all of the songs from i-tunes to the external drive....problem.....now that I go into i-tunes and try to either play songs, burns songs to a disk, etc....it always tells me that it is unable to locate the songs.....how can I tell(re-direct) i-tunes to look/access the external hard drive instead of the i-tunes folder that it had initially been looking to to find this information??? Clear as mud??

Eureka this seems to have resolved the problem. The file I selected is
music\iTunes\iTunes\itl I did try music\iTunes\itl but no change.
In music\itunes I now have folders - \album art \Itunes \iTunesmusic \previousItunes music + files - \iTuneslibrary \iTuneslibraryextras \iTuneslibraryextras(2) \iTuneslibrarygenius \iTunesmusiclibrary \tempfile
Except for folders \iTunes and \previousITuneslibraries the above are all duplicated in music\iTunes! Should I delete anything??
Thanks again

Have not been able to update to iPhone softwareversion 5.1. I keep getting the message that the network connection could not be established even though I have been buying apps from iTunes all evening.

I have been trying to update my iPhone4s' software from version 5.0.1 to version 5.1. I continue to get a message from iTunes that a network connection could not be established. I was buying apps for my phone on my computer so I know that my connection is good. I clicked on Help in iTunes and had it to run a network diagnostic and all was good. Are the servers just jammed up with so many people trying to update to the newest software version? Thank you in advance for your time!
Sincerely,
PrettyinPinkInk

look around the forum tons of people repport that they can't update
makes you suspect that apples update servers can't meet the depand of too many users
