Help! I lost all my iTune musics...

Hi,
My laptop was recently stolen and all my musics were in there as well. I still have my iPod with all the musics in there. I'm afraid once I hook it to my new computer (w/o any music) it's gonna have all the musics in iPod erased.
Does anyone know if there's a way to tranfer music FROM iPod TO computer? Or it only goes the other way around? This is so bad...

I got all my musics back onto a new iTune software I installed on my new laptop. However, whenever I hook my iPod onto the computer, iTune would display a message that says: my iPod is linked to another iTune library, do I want to change the link to your current iTune library and replace all existing songs.
And every time I click "Yes", iTune just freezes. What can I do? Help!

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I need my music back...

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Again, Ronald

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content.

My old computer died and I lost all my iTunes music.

My old laptop died a while ago and I've just got a new computer. I still have my old itunes ID etc etc, but when intalling itunes again, I need to somehow get my music back as I had a fair amount, and with my laptop beeing really dead including the hardrive, I tierd to get anything off it, or turn it into an external hardrive, but alas, it did not work.
And as I've also had my old ipod stollen with all my old music on, and now I have nothing really, apart from uploading all my old CD's, I'm still missing alot, and have no idea how to get it back, I've looked around the itunes support thing, and it's been no real help.
So if anyone would be ever so kind and help me, I'd be ever so thankful
Many thanks
Rob

So I take it you did not back your computer up? When the I Cloud comes out, hopefully soon you can get them from there, but until it does, you may be out of luck with no back up or I pod.

My old computer broke and I lost all my Itunes music. I have a new computer and I can get all my music from Itunes except for my ringtones. How can I download them again without buying them again?

My old computer broke and I lost all my music. I have now purchased a new computer and downloaded all my music again through the store but can not figure how to download my ringtones again. How do you download your ringtones again without buying them again??? Thankyou in advance

You cannot redownload ringtones.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Have you failed to do this?

Upgraded to Windows 7, lost all my itunes music and podcasts.

Lost all my stuff when i upgraded. Can I retrieve my preferences in the itunes store and recover the songs i had bought?

Upgraded to Windows 7
You did make a current backup of everything before you upgraded, correct?
Can I retrieve my preferences in the itunes store and recover the songs i had bought?
No.

HT1391 I lost all my itune music when my last computer died and I bought a new one. How do I get my purchases back?

Me Again... Did I lose all my itunes purchases when my last computer died? Can I get them back?

If you are in a country where you can re-download music (and they are still available in the store) then they should show under the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

I changed computers and lost all mu itunes music

I recently bought a new computer and cannot find my itunes music and movies. Is this because of the new computer or something else? Thanks

Don't confuse what's on your computer and what's stored by the iTunes Store. The iTunes Store only keeps a list of what you have purchased. Most will be available for redownload but that is not guaranteed which is why you need to not rely upon the store as a backup for your media. The Store will not, of course, have information about media obtained from other sources such as CDs unless you also subscribe to Match. Even then that is only for music so if you have home movies in iTunes it will only be on your computer.
None of the above includes the structure you have given it in iTunes (which is the application on your computer, not your accuont at the Store) such as ratings, playlists, playcounts. That is only stored in the library file on your computer. If you do not transfer that then all you have is a potentially incomplete set of media files.

My computer crashed and I lost all my Itunes music...Need help!!!!

My computer recently crashed, and I never backed up the music on disk, however I do still have the music on my Ipod, but can't transfer it into Itunes. I had copypod before which would've worked now, but I don't want to pay for another copy. Is there any free software out there which will let me copy the music into Itunes without a certain song limit or trial use?
Thanks,

If you bought the music from iTunes you can download it from the cloud. See here.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 hope it helps.

My hard drive blew so I needed a new one, and I lost all my itunes music. I went back and restored the music I had purchased, but it only lets me listen to 30 seconds or less of a song? Any suggestions??

How do I get the music back I paid for...not just 30 seconds?

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

If they really meant that much to you, they would have been copied off to a computer at the earliest possible opportunity.
I personally find it amazing that people get so upset when pictures "accidentally" get deleted and then scream about how important they are. You wouldn't leave important paper work lying around to be lost/damaged/stolen, so why take a chance with important pictures on a device that can so easily be lost/damaged/stolen, or deleted by a child.

I installed iTuned 10.5 and downloaded 5.0 os and now lost all of my music and photos

I jsut installed 5.0OS on my iPhone 4 and lost all of my music and photos on my phone and my computer. It appears to all have been deleted. Help.

I know you can go to iTunes and go to purchased and redownload all your music because I did it for my iPad today when I updated. Idk about your photos though..hope this helps.

I have lost all of my music on itunes.

I have aton of music on itunes and now nothing shows up when I open itunes. Help!

What you have on your computer is an iTunes library, not an account. Your "account" that relates to iTunes is your Apple ID. The distinction is important, because you can sign in with your Apple ID to the iTunes Store, and re-download most previous purchases from the iTunes Store, at no cost. From the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.
Syncing with iTunes generally goes one way, from the computer's iTunes library to iPod. You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party 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 the iTunes library.
I have lost all of my Music, books from my ITunes account on this new computer.
NOTE: If that new computer once had all of your content in its iTunes library at some point, and then you "lost" it for some reason, the media files may still be on the computer.
Look in your user home folder's Music folder. In the Music folder, look in
/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/ - For song files, organized by Artist and Album.
/iTunes/iTunes Media/Books/ - For books, etc...
If those iTunes media files are already there, but not in your current iTunes library, you can add them to your current iTunes library.
