HELP!  may have lost entire iTunes account 1800 songs

My old MacBook just died and will not turn on.  I don't remember what file the songs were saved under, nor do I remember if I enabled the home sharing.  I recently purchased the MacBook Pro and now I can't access my old iTunes account. 

The Discussion forum software is operating so poorly at the moment that I can't search for the note posted about 10 days ago responding to a similar situation. When you can, search for the words "tilde backup" in All Categories, posted by Karl Petersen.
It describes how it may be possible to use the backup copy of the project file that iMovie stores inside the project to rescue the project.
If that fails, try importing the Timeline Movie.mov file that's in the project to a NEW iMovie project.
To look inside the package, Control-click on the project icon and choose "Show Package Contents" from the popup menu.
Karl
PS: the project rescue info suggested at Dan's site is for iMovie 4 and previous, if I recall. It won't work for iMovie HD 5 or 6.

  • I have an old Ipod which I loaded music many years ago. . .I no longer have the itunes which I originally loaded, however, I have a new itune account with songs loaded. . what will happen if I load these songs onto my ipod today?

    I have an older ipod which many years ago I loaded my music from Itunes on another computer. . .that computer crashed. . .I now have a new Itunes account and music loaded on another computer. . I would like to add songs onto my ipod. . .can this be done?

    Not without erasing what is currently on the iPod first, since an iPod can only be synced with one computer/iTunes library at a time.
    A better way to go about it, is to copy everything currently on the iPod to your new iTunes library first.  Then connect it to iTunes and either choose the Erase and Sync option or restore the device to allow it to start syncing with the new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I have lost my Itunes account.. My guess is when i downloaded the new 10.O version that is when it messed my itunes completely up. I have done everything possible to get Itunes back on my computer and it's not working. I have spent 1000$ of dollars and ca

    I have had itunes for a couple of years and now all of the sudden I don't. I have submitted several attempts to try and get it back on my Windows XP and no luck. I have purchased a dang Pc 3212 help that just cost me 35$ and that didn't work and I've rebooted, system restore and none of it is working. I'm to mad right now and i just want the darn thing fixed and I am getting so frustrated, this is one thing that I look forward to getting new music and now I have a 25$ Itunes card that I can't even use and why I don't know what else to do. Please fix this Laura

    If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Need Help!  I lost entire itunes library after copying "My Music" folder to an external hard drive.

    I was recently hire by one of my sisters friends to set up a new computer and to repair wireless router.  The client asked me to copy music files from their old computer to an external hard drive so that they could be transfered to the new computer. So I connected the external hard drive to the old computer and copyed the entire "My Music" folder to it.  I never deleted files from the old computer. I did however uninstall a few applications at the clients request such as Microsoft Office and Kodak EasyShare which have nothing to do with itunes.  I got a call from the client a few hours later stating that their entire itunes music library is no longer there.  I do not have much experince with itunes this just doesnt make any sense to me.  I am sure the music is there but itunes is not pulling it up.   Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem?
    Thanks so much

    If it is in your itunes on your computer, then select it to sync just like everything else that you sync.
    The music must be on your computer.

    My dad and I have shared an iTunes account for years and I just created a new apple id but I have no Idea how to get all those purchases to this new account. Help please?

    The old Apple ID (presumably your dads) owns those songs and your new Apple ID does not.  However, your dad can authorize your iD to use the songs by going to Store > Authorize This Computer from your iTunes menu and entering his Apple ID and password.

  • CineXplayer on my iPad (2) error message stating I don't have permission to copy files from my hp pavilion 6 across to my iPad. I think I may have accidentally disabled iTunes Helper, but it is running in TM.

    I use CineXplayer on my iPad (2) and today have started getting an error message stating I don't have permission to copy files from my hp pavilion 6 across to my iPad. I think I may have accidentally disabled iTunes Helper, but it is running in Task Manager.
    I have removed iTunes and re installed.

    That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?
    You should never update without making sure your backup copy of your computer is up to date.

  • I have lost my itunes and can't get them back. How do I do it?

    I have lost my itunes library and cannot get them back. How do I do it?

    '''Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
    Press ALT+ V T M (CTRL+V T M on Macs) on your keyboard. This should restore the menu bar (Firefox 3.6)
    '''Other toolbars'''
    View|Toolbars|Select the desired Toolbar
    '''Other steps to try'''
    Try restoring the default set by going to View|Toolbars|Customize| Restore Default Set. This will put the toolbars back in the default place
    '''Safe Mode'''
    You May need to reset toolbars and controls via [[Safe Mode]]
    Make sure you completely close Firefox first. When you get to the Safe Mode window, select Reset toolbars and controls and then Make Changes and Restart.
    Hope this helps!

  • I have lost my itunes library after updating it and keep getting a message saying MSVCR80.dll is not installed when I try to uninstall/reinstall it???

    I have lost my itunes library after updating it. Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling it and it gets so far then tells me that it cannot be installed because MSVCR80.dll is not installed on my pc. I have no idea what this is and have googled it, followed links to sites that say they can fix it, only for them to scan, tell me I have 3 thousand issues and then want me to pay $30 dollars to fix it for me. This message also appears on firing up my pc too.
    Can anyone help please?

    I've been through the exact same thing and cannot seem to get an answer here. When you go to Manage Storage, does it have something at the top like "19.1 GB of 25 GB available"? I only have a Mail account with 5.3 GB in it and a Backups account with 553 MB in it. Obviously, these don't add up to 19.1 GB. There was no change in any of these numbers when I deleted all the same files you mention. With the free Mobile Me storage expiring next month, this is something I'm pretty concerned about.

  • HT1933 I have been charged £5.44 from itunes but have not purchased anything. I have checked my itunes account and it shows that a purchase was made on the 15th January but doesnt say what it was.

    Hi
    I have been charged £5.44 ffrom itunes but haven't purchased anything. I have checked my itunes account and it says there was a purchase on the 15th January 13. It doesnt say what it was or how much it was for. The listings show all the apps ive downloaded whether they are free or charged but not this one from the 15th.
    Please can anyone help me find out what has happenned and how i can find out what it was for
    Thank you

    The purchase history on your acocunt should say what the item was : if you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it, click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases (the most recent purchase is above the list).
    If you didn't make the purchase, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and may have made it, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If you didn't make the purchase then you should also change your account's password e.g. via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's (click the Edit button to the right of your id on your account's page), by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone, or via http://appleid.apple.com
