How can I bring my songs back?

Okay, what if your ipod as well as your computer crashes and you have no idea how to bring your songs back, what do you do? Is it posible to bring back my songs or is it already too late for that?

Ok, so as I understand it you no longer have songs on either the iPod or the computer.
Is this correct?
If so, and you have no back up anywhere else, you're looking at some data recovery software such as those mentioned in this post.

I lost my songs after needing to restore my iPod to its factory settings. How can I get those songs back?

I downloaded several songs on my iPod touch and it wouldn't sync with my computer so I needed to restore it. Those songs that I had downloaded show up in my purchase history but they are no where to be found in the music library. The assistance I got from support was to chech the "Check for available downloads" and precede from there, but it isn't finding those songs. How can I get those songs back?

They are only where you put them, if you did not download them on the computer or transfer them from the iDevice, there is no logical expectation for them to be on the computer.
Downloading past purchases from iTunes

When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out. How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

How can i bring my mac back to factory condition?

how can i bring my mac back to factory condition?

Insert its original install DVD, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a new OS on it. If you're going to be selling or giving away the computer, throw any files which may contain sensitive data in the Trash and securely empty it first, and include the disks with it.

Hard drive crashed and has been fixed/replaced, now I have new ipod, log in on itunes, and my library of songs is gone, although I can still see them in my purchase history. How can I get those songs back!?

My computer has crashed several times since I bought my first ipod in 2005. Recently, it crashed so badly that my fella who fixed it just wiped everything off it and reinstalled things. I have a new ipod now and just got my computer back. I log in to itunes, register my ipod, and, its bad enough that everytime my computer crashes and is fixed that itunes thinks I am connecting yet another computer to my account (it believes I have four computers/devices but I have only ever had one ipod and one computer simultaneously),. but on top of that, all my songs listed in my purchase history are not in my library. Hundreds of songs.
How can I download them again? I was told in the Apple Store to deauthorize the computer and reauthorize it and it should begin downloading my previous purchases into my library. I tried that, but to no avail.
Help anyone?

It is the users responsibility to maintain a backup of their files.
If you have failed to keep a backup, that is not good.
If the content is on your iDevice and it was purchased via iTunes, connect the device (DO NOT SYNC) then select File > Transfer Purchases.
If the content is on the device but was not purchased via iTunes, you're out of luck mostly. Do a google search, you can find utilities that will allow you to extract the content.
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, there is an option to redownload previously purchased iTunes content. To do this, in iTunes select Purchased, then at the bottom select Download Previously Purchased. There are options for Music, Apps, and iBooks. Select the "Not in My Library" option and download what you want.

Ive purchased over 200 songs and im receiving 24 songs how can i get my songs back on my play list

how can i get all of my 200 plus music back on my music list?

I did this last night, and copied all the music from old laptop onto new one. But there was still a lot of stuff missing, mainly from my own CDs that I'd ripped. Also I'm still getting the icon on my iPhone that the music is on the iCloud. This doesn't suit me because it will cost me a fortune to download each song by cellular when I'm out driving. I need all my stuff on my iphone. Do you know how I can get it to download everything i need apart from clicking on every album and selecting "download" from cloud one at a time?

I have a new PC (my old one crashed). I can't remember my old username/pword. I tried to set up a new acct. and my I Pod is erased! How can I get the songs back?

My old PC crashed, I bought a new one. When in I tunes on my new PC, I could not remember my old username and password. I created new ones. Then I was instructed to connect my I Pod to my PC via USB, Then I was asked if it was OK for I Tunes to erase all my data on my I Pod, Yes or Cancell. I pressed Cancell. All my 2,700 songs were promptly erased!
How can I retrieve them? I can't remember my original username and password.
PLease Help!
NB

Unfortunately, if the iPod data has been erased by iTunes, there is no way you can retrieved them.
Do send your issue to iTunes. feedback.

How can I get my songs back from apple?????

Ok, here is the deal. I purchased about 360 songs from the itunes store. My ipod is lost and my computer crashed. I know that apple keeps a record of each song i purchased because when i try to purchase a song that i have purchased in the past, i get the message that says that i have already purchased it. it is very frustrating that is so hard. i paid for the songs so how to i get them back from itunes??? Am i the only one with this issue? Ho can it be that the people at apple have not thought of a solution for this problem. i want my songs and it shouldn't be this hard. can anyone help????
just to summarize - both my ipod and pc are gone. i want my songs.

Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications. It's your responsibility to make backup copies (as iTunes itself advises) in case something goes wrong with your system, as unfortunately it apparently did in your case, and you lose all the information on your hard drive. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places. If your hard drive was erased and you don't have a backup of your purchased items, and don't have them on another iPod, you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your tracks.
If you have your tracks backed up, post back and someone here can help you get them restored. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". Then you'll see a button that says "Email Us") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.

How can i put my songs back on my laptop?

my laptop got a virus, so i had to restore everything, and everything got deleted (folders, photos, programs, itunes, everything) and now i have my iphone with all my songs in it and i dont know how to put them all back in my new itunes. Please Help

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Ise your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone: File>Transfer Purchases

Wife's iTunes is blank...how can I get the songs back?

My wife opened her iTunes today and it was blank - songs, videos, playlists, everything. Is there an easy way to get them back?
Under Preferences/Advanced it still shows the same iTunes Music Folder location that we've always used. It's just that iTunes doesn't seem to be seeing it...
Any ideas?
Thanks

Try holding down the Option key when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in User/Music/iTunes. Look in there and see if you have more than one library file. If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

How can I get my songs back???

My old PC crashed and so I had to get a new one. Well, all my music that I downloaded from itunes is on that old PC. Its going to be a PAIN to get it off.
Since I paid for all that music and movies isn't there a way I can re-download it all again off of itunes on to my new PC??
Thanks

Use the form on this page to request a free redownload, or use the Transfer Purchases feature. If neither of these works, you will need to purchase the songs and other content again to get them back; Apple needs to pay the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts and album artwork.

Interupted music downloads - how can I get my songs back?

I didn't receive my purchase from the iTunes Store, so I emailed the iTunes help people. This is what they sent back:
It looks like the music in question is still awaiting download. Please follow these steps to initiate the download:
1)From the Store menu, select Check for Purchases (in iTunes 6 and earlier, you'll find this under the Advanced menu). *I have iTunes 7*
2) Enter your account name and password, then click Check. Your purchases should begin redownloading.
Problem is, when I go to the iTunes 'Store Menu' like it says, I don't see a link that says 'Check for Purchases.'
Can anyone help me here? I know this is probably me being stupid but I really don't see it.
Thanks,
HGW

You don't actually goto the store.
At the very top of itunes where you see "File" "Edit" "View" ect ect you shouls see "Store" in iTUnes 7
Hit it and on teh drop down menu yopu should see "Check For Purchases"

Computer Crashed - How Can I Get My Songs Back?

My computer crashed so I had to reinstall itunes. Now when I plug in my ipod shuffle it tells me my ipod is linked to another library and asks if I want to replace all of my songs with the songs from this library. I have over 200 songs on my ipod, many that I bought and I don't want to lose them all. Is there any way that I can get the songs on my ipod shuffle onto my itunes?

Are the songs only on the pod? It also sounds like from the urgency that you don't have a backup. Computers crash or hardware fails all the time, this is why backups are soooo important. Lecture over, sorry about that.
This link has several suggestions to getting the music off the pod.

HT201317 I only have one device that can run icloud. How can I bring my photos back to it?

I have one device that can run iCloud. It is my iPad. I backed up all my photos to the cloud, then deleted them off my ipad. I thought they would download
to my Mac and to my iTouch but then I discovered that those two devices are too old to run icloud. Now my photos are gone! Is there any way my ipad can access them again?
Thanks for any help. These photos were of our recent vacation in Ecuador. I hate to lose them forever.
Dorothy

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos in photo stream...
You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
Photos in the camera roll...
If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.
