Help! Had to reinstall Windows!

I had to reinstall windows without gaining access to any of my files including iTunes. So now when I plug my iPod in, it asks me to sync it, but I always say no because the library is completely blank (I had to reinstall iTunes). So is there any way to get all of my music back onto iTunes? Or am I just stuck with the songs I have pretty much for good?

I'm not aware of any, not to say that there aren't any issues.
it may have nothing to do with ntpd, there are a lot of things running.
ntpd just happen to make the log entry at the same time as the panic.
I would check to see if there are any updates available for you system.
if this is the first time that this has happened. it may be (pick one):
cosmic rays
sun spots
the trilateral commission
if this happens more frequently and that traces look the same, then
there may be a real problem that needs to be looked into further.

If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchass from the ipod. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

Had to reinstall windows 7 - Problems syncing iPhone with new iTunes

Hello everyone!
I've recently had to reinstall windows 7. Now I am having issues syncing my iPhone 4 with my new iTunes. I've look online at several forums and webpages but haven't found a workable solution yet.
My issues are that when I attempt to sync my iPhone with the new iTunes, it tells me that it will erase everything on the phone and replace it with what's in iTunes. Well there's nothing in iTunes so this is a problem.
Now I don't purchase anything through iTunes, except for a few apps, and the only thing I really want out of syncing is to get some class recordings, done by Voice Memos, from my iPhone to my computer. The files are all around ~30 Mb so I can't email them.
Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks,
Greg

What gets erased is the iTunes/App store purchases on your phone, replaced with the contents of your iTunes library on your computer - in this case nothing. Voice memos sync only from phone to computer - they don't get deleted.
To avoid losing your apps, music/media:
1. Defeat automatic syncing on connection to iTunes: ITunes preferences > Devices > Prevent .... from syncing automatically
2. Connect phone to computer with iTunes open
3. ITunes menu > File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
4. iTunes menu > File > Devices > Back UP
Now OK to sync voice memos to iTunes.

I had to reinstall windows on my laptop because it wouldn't start. Then I lost all the bookmarks saved on the browser Firefox. Is there a way to recover them from my IP address or any another way? Thanks

My laptop refused to start, then i had to reinstall windows.
I choose Windows 7 instead of Windows Vista.
After reinstalling Firefox, i saw that i lost all the (so vital) bookmarks !
Is there a way to recover them ?
Thank you.

I had the same problem...well... I'm still not over it yet .. :))
I'm afraid there is no way to recover your data from a formatted drive..
A lifetime of bookmarks, gone
P.S. Be strong =)))
Stay cool

I had to reinstalled windows xp on my PC and everytime I try to download itunes a message pops up saying "there is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run". But it does not say what program is required. I've had to reinstalled windows xp before and never had a problem.

Go START/ALL PROGRAMS/APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE"
If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but "Deselect" any other software offered at the same time.
Once done, try another iTunes install

I recently had my hard drive wiped out by a virus and had to reinstall windows and itunes. When I hooked up my ipod it did not transfer my songs from my ipod to my itunes library. How do I do this?

iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchsed from the iTunes Store).
However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library. (Going forward, you should use a backup strategy, and include your iTunes data in what gets backed up. Then, you would be able to recover your complete iTunes library, including things like playlists and ratings.)

How can i deauthorize a computer that once was authorized then I had to reinstall (windows 7) like 3 times and reload itunes reach time to get this authorization crap. I only have 3 computers actually authorized. This one is the 4th. This is ridicules.

If you've got 5 computers authorised for the account in question, and you need to free up authorizations, I'd do a "Deauthorize All" from one of the computers you have access to, and then reauthorize the computers you have access to.
For instructions, see the following document:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
(Best to deauthorise a computer before you reinstall the OS on it.)

Had to reinstall Windows, can't sync ipod ...

Hello,
I have a pc and had to reinstall Windows because of a spyware problem. Now when I plug in my ipod, itunes tells me that it is synched with another computer. If I choose to sync, it will erase my ipod. Is there a way to dump the songs on my ipod onto my pc? Or is there a way to make my computer recognize that I am using the same computer as before?
Thanks in advance.

Help! Had to reinstall Windows and iTunes.

I had a windows error that could not be restored/repaired. I reinstalled WinXP Pro. I also had to reinstall all applications, including itunes. Now my music library is still on my hard drive since I did not require a reformat. How do I get access to these and restore my old music and playlists, etc? Anyones help familiar with my problem woould be most appreciated!
AMD 3800+ Windows XP Pro

Nevermind, I was able to figure it out from some other posts. AUthorized new installation, found old music files, consolidated into my library. Seem to have lost my playlists, but no big deal.

HT1386 I had to reinstall Windows 7 on my PC, when I synced my iPhone to my PC only the iTunes music files moved back to PC, how do i get my non-iTunes music files back onto my PC?

So as i stated I reinstalled Windows 7 on my PC, wiping the harddrive in the process. I didn't copy my music files to a third device because I assumed I would be able to retrieve all my songs from my iPhone 4 when I resynced the devices. Unfortunately only my iTunes-purchased songs went back to my desktop. This leaves about 1400 songs that I ripped from CDs on my phone and I can't see how to get those songs from my iPhone to my desktop again. I would really like to not have to waste a day ripping CDs again. Can anyone help?

You need to restore them from the backup that you should have of your computer that you made before reinstalling Windows 7. The iPhone is not a backup device.

Computer crashed had to reinstall windows how do i get my music off iphone back on to itunes

after reinstalling windows obviously itunes is empty and my songs are on iphone. any surgestions?

The 5 authorized COMPUTERS has NOTHING to do with ipods.
Itunes will allow up to 5 computers to be authorized to play pre-itunes+ music. When you reach the limit of 5 COMPUTERS, then you can de-authorize them all, then authorize the active ones again.
You can sync as many ipods as you like to a computer.
In the future, it is a good idea to de-authorize before re-installing your os or getting rid of a computer.

My computer got hit with a virus. Had to reinstall Windows.

My Acobat Pro 9 key is locked now. Can I get my key reset?

Sara –
I am going in a circle here. Your link to Contact Customer Care is how I made the post to the forum in the first place.
I used to be able to dial a phone number and resolve problems such as this, but I cannot seem to find a phone number anywhere. I am an IT administrator with an organization that has close to 200 Adobe Acrobat licenses. I have one license that appears to be locked out after a virus forced us to reinstall Windows without the ability to deactivate Acrobat. Please provide me with better contact information so that I may resolve this problem.
Thank you.
