HELP. --  Lost all uploaded songs when I reinstalled iTunes

Had to have new hard drive installed on PC. When I reinstalled iTunes on the PC all my music that was uploaded on my iPad was deleted . Sync all devices was turned off  what else needs to be turned off?  I am hoping  the tunes are on still on my old lap top.but am afraid to turn it on until I figure out what went wrong. I also have most of them on an android phone. How can I load them back on the PC and iPad from laptop or phone. I also thought my songs were backed-up in icloud but apparently not. Only songs I have are the ones I purchased from the store.

Media (music, fillms, tv shows) can only downloaded once, which is why you are advised to make and maintain backups - are you sure that re-installing iTunes has removed your content, and it's not just that you havn't told iTunes where your content is ?
Apps can be re-downloaded for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519, as can books from iBooks.

  • Help, lost all the songs on my iPod when checked the box titled "Replace all items when Autofilling" in my Autofill Settings window.

    Help, I lost all the songs on my iPod when I deleted a few songs from my iTunes Library, checked the box titled "Replace all items when Autofilling" in my Autofill Settings window, and then tried to Autofill. Note that I do not purchase songs from iTunes, but rather I rip songs off my own cd's and then transfer the mp3 files to iTunes.  And after I transfer mp3 files from my pc to iTunes and then Autofill, I generally delete those files from my pc.
    I can still see the songs in my iTunes Library, but not on my iPod.  Is there a way that I can salvage them and get them back on my iPod?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well you will have to wait to connect you ipod to the orignal computer and it will put all your songs back on to it.

  • I lost all my songs when syncing

    When I downloaded the new version I lost all my contacts and all my apps and all my downloaded songs.  I've managed to get everthing else back except for the music.  I had approximately 150 songs.  Any help would be greatly apreciated.
    Thanks,

    Go to iTunes, tap on Purchased and you can download your music again. Normally you do not lose music when you update unless you update on a different computer than the one you usually sync with. If you did this go back and sync with the computer you normally use and your music and playlists will be recovered also.

  • Lost Previously Purchased Songs when upgraded to iTunes 7.0.2.16

    I upgraded to iTunes 7.0.2.16 and now when I sync my iPod I receive a message stating "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including ... were not copied to your iPod ... because you are not authorized to play them on this computer"
    However, I purchased them from the iTunes Store, using an iTunes card and have had them on my iPod previously. But now, they have been removed from my iPod and I cannot get them to load back on. Same pc, same iPod, the only thing that has changed is the version of iTunes that I have loaded on my machine... The are still loaded on my hard drive of my pc.
    Please help!

    I'm in serious need of help.
    Indeed.
    To be honest I don't understand how you were able to hold on to even 2 of your purchased items.
    Anyways, if the music is still on your iPod, here is a post you may find of interest.
    If that's not applicable, Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups.
    That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form at the bottom of this page:

    Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • My computer crashed while updating my iPhone, wiped out all my songs from my phone, iTunes and hardrive.  Had over 2500 songs, anyway to get these back?

    I lost all my songs off my phone, iTunes and my hard drive when iTunes was updating my phone.  I had over 2500 songs that I've collected over YEARS, is there anyway to get the music back?  Or do I really need to start my collection all over again?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    In the U.S, yo can use the new icloud beta version to retrieve itunes purchases.  Open itunes store, click Purchased under Quick Links

  • HT4914 When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

    When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

    I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
    You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
    I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;
    then I would recommend going through the tried and true channel here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.

  • I wiped my computer and iTunes did not remember songs ect when reinstalled it and have I lost all my songs. Doesn't the Apple ID sign in keep all your details??

    I wiped my computer and when I reinstalled iTunes, none of my songs ect were listed. Have I lost all my songs for good and need to redownload and copy my CDs???
    Why doesn't the Apple ID remember everything for when you change computers or do a wipe? So frustrated and unhappy now.

    Songs you upload into iTunes via MP3 file or CD are stored locally.   You would need to do those again if you wiped your hard drive (assuming you didn't have a backup of your iTunes library)
    Songs you download through iTunes are downloadable again with your ID at no additional charge.

  • My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud.  My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced.  I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

    Have you tried the usual cures such as resetting your phone or backing it up then restoring from the backup?

    How did you get your songs onto your iPod Touch?
    If purchase directly from iTunes you can download them again.
    If your iPod is synced to iTunes on a Windows PC, then, sync your iPod to that computer.
    If this is your first Mac, are you migrating from a Windows PC?
