Hi I lost my stuff from iTunes after I synced with my iTouch

Hi, I don't know if anyone else may have experienced this problem but I lost all my content from iTunes after I synced with my iTouch, but I had a message saying that my iTouch was authorized from a different user but I authorized it on my account but when it synced, I had lost all my music, videos, and apps that I had in my iTunes library. I have all my stuff in my iTouch. All of my content are still in the iTunes folder, but I see the XML document of the iTunes Library (where all my information is), and 7 Temp. Files in the iTunes folder as well. Is there a way to get all of my content back in place?
Thanks,
Jose

Syncing an iDevice with a computer does not cause the content on the computer to disappear.
Was there actually content in the iTunes library prior to syncing?
Are the files still on the computer?
In the iTunes folder, are there multiple iTunesLibrary.itl files, like an old copy(ies)?

  • Music from itunes will not sync with iphone 5

    I just upgraded from iphone 4 to 5 and didnt have time for verizon to sync my phone so i did it when i got home. the music from my itunes will not sync with my phone. it shows the music on the usage bar when the phone is plugged in but shows no content on the phone. any suggestions?

    I have a similar problem. Mine started with iTunes putting multiple versions of the same songs (whole and seemingly random albums) onto my iPod 5, but after trying to remedy that I now cannot sync any music of any sort. It took random songs off and then started getting stuck at the "waiting to apply changes" stage (as apparently many people have seen) and after trying all the things that are supposed to work I now have an iPod that doesn't have any music on it (because a lot of my music was not purchased on iTunes) and won't sync music or finish any other kind of sync.
    It seems like the "fixes" discovered so far don't work for everyone.
    My iPod is 5th gen running iOS 7.0.4 (but problem started on 7.0.3) with the latest version of iTunes, for reference.

  • I had my iphone stolen which had quite a lot of music on that I had downloaded from itunes but not synced with itunes on my computer.Is there any way to access the music now or is it lost?

    Hi,
    I had my iphone stolen a few weeks ago which had quite a lot of music on that I had downloaded from itunes via my phone but had not synced with itunes on my computer.
    Is there any way to access the music now or is it lost? Thanks x

    By any chance, did you have the Find My iPhone app installed prior to it being stolen?

    Hopefully you had your iTunes purchases backed up to an external source such as an external drive or CD's?

  • Some of the albums in the Beatles package I downloaded from itunes will not sync with my iPhone 5. Some songs won't play. They did sync to my iPad and they all play on my iPad. What can I do? I've already deleted all songs from the iPhone and re-synced.

    I downloaded the entire Beatles collection from iTunes in 2011. Some songs skip and won't play. Some albums won't sync to the phone but they sync to my iPad. I've deleted the entire music library from my iPhone, shut the phone down, turned the phone on and synced again to add the music but now 2 albums won't even sync (Rubber Soul and Revolver). I've tried dragging the songs to the iPhone, no luck. Any thoughts?

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

  • Cannot drag/drop music from iTunes onto iPhone (synced with a different computer)

    I have a library of music already on my iPhone that was synced with another computer. I am working on a different computer and bought some music that I thought I could just drag and drop into my iphone from iTunes. I have read that you need to check manually manage music but when I do that it says it will erase everything on my phone. I don't want to do that because I have music on my phone that isn't in the library I'm using. Is there anything else I can do?

    you iphone does not work like a regular ipod, where you can drag and drop music, you must sync it with itunes. plug it into your computer, click on the icon that is labeled iphone. when you do this there is a section on the top that says music. click on that, then you can select playlists and artists, etc. then click apply. it should work then

  • Apps from Itunes won't sync with Itouch

    Can someone help on this? My apps to itouch where working fine until I uploaded f W7 OS from Vista. Now the new apps show as grey on the itouch (not bold)and won't sync. If I check the SYNC APPS a warning states all existing apps in the Itouch will be wiped out. What am i missing? Thanks

    I took advantage of my one free call to apple support and resolved the problem. If you are having the same problem as above - try the following - turn on Itunes and connect your device.Open file- click "transfer purchases from Itunes"follow the instructionsu - All your apps will now be stored in the library (only the ones you purchased free or paid for, from Itunes)Go to your device open the apps section - they should all show in the left hand side under SYNC APPS in bold. Hope that helps others.

  • ITunes does not sync with iOS5 iTouch

    After I updated my iPod Touch to iOS 5, and simultaneously iTunes to version 10.5, they have not synced.
    When I connect the iPod to my Windows 7 PC, iTunes opens, recognizes the identity of my iPod, and begins to sync, saying "Syncing iPod (Step 1 of 6) // Waiting for sync to start." After a minute or two, a little window pops up saying "The iPod could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."
    iTunes somehow finds what apps I have and how they are organized on the screens, but it says that it was last backed up to this computer three days ago, so it looks like the biggest difficulty is currently syncing music.
    I selected "Sync with this iPod over Wi-Fi", and tried syncing again, but the same problem remains. Additionally, I can only adjust things particular to my iPod when it is connected by wire.
    Is there something I can do to fix this, or has anyone else had the same problem?

    You don't say what exactly you moved.  You don't tell iTunes to use a previous library with preferences, you do it by holding down the option/alt key while starting iTunes and guiding it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder you want to use.  A library is everything in the iTunes folder.  Hopefully you copied the entire folder and not just the media files or else you will have to rebuild the library structure from scratch (and erase the phone).

  • Had to restore iPad2 from itunes after IOS8 update with no option to restore from icloud backup.

    since i lost everything on my ipad due to the IOS8 update, i thought i'd try to do a manual restore from my icloud backup, but the only backup listed is one from the day i did the update/restore. i'm pretty sure it's not going to help me recover everything that i lost since it's only 1.8gb. i know my ipad backed up to the cloud every couple of weeks when i charged it, so shouldn't there be other backup dates available? also, when i go to settings>icloud>manage storage>ipad, the backup options list every app i had on my ipad before the update/restore, but those apps are no longer on my ipad, so i'm not sure why they're listed in the backup options. apparently i can't even contact apple to help with this issue without paying $20, and i live 2 hours away from the closest apple store. any thoughts?

    My philosophy is if you lost everything already anyway, you have nothing to lose by restoring the iCloud backup at this point. Besides, your apps will download from iCloud, if you were truly backing up with iCloud and not using iTunes. Apps are not part of the backup, app data is.
    I would give it a try. If it doesn't work out, you are no worse off than you are now. But - your apps should still all download from the cloud even if the data is gone.

  • Iphone disappears from itunes after wifi sync

    I've been struggeling to get wifi sync to work correctly with my iphone 4.  I have the newest version of itunes on a Windows 7 PC.  When I first open itunes it sees my iphone over wifi and syncs successfully.  A couple minutes after syncing completes, itunes loses my iphone.  My iphone still shows up under devices, but if I click on any of the tabs in the device it then brings up the dialog box searching for the phone, then it tells me it cannot find it and it disappears from devices.  If I close itunes and reopen it the iphone shows up again and syncs.  Any idea what could be causing this?
    So far in my quest to make this work I have opened ports 5354 and 27015 for inbound TCP.  I have also set the Bonjour and Apple Mobile Device services to Automatic Delayed Start as mentioned in other threads. 

    It seems like it periodically reappears in itunes, but then if I try to sync or do anything its says "looking for iphone" and eventually tells me it can't be found on the network.

  • Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite

    Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite. Has anyone had this problem? How did you re-import all your lost music? My iTunes currently only contains all of the music I have purchased from the iTunes Store but nothing that was burned to my iTunes. All of my music files still seem to be located on my hard drive within the iTunes folder but they did not re-import into the library during the upgrade to Yosemite. Thanx for your help.

    Hi OrangeOAK,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you still have the music on the computer but need to re add it to iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    Adding music and other content to iTunes - Apple Support
    Adding content on your computer to iTunes
    iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
    Open iTunes
    From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
    MacAdd to Library
    Windows
    Add File to Library
    Add Folder to Library
    Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
    If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,
    Mario

  • Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

    iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

    If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    "Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
    So you can rule that out.
    Have you tried the 5 R's?

    Whenever I try and eject my iPod from iTunes after it is done syncing a box pops us that says "The iPods' 'Owners iPod' cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application".iTunes is the only thing open on my computer so I don't understand what this could mean.  If anybody could help me out that would be great. Thanks

    Hello, cgtyoder. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Try resetting the iPod and power cycling your Mac to see if this message disappears.  If the issue persists you may need to restore the device to factory settings.  The article below will walk you through both these steps.

    You generally get that error code on a jailbroken phone ?
    If it is Jailbroken then I am afraid you will get no help here.
