How can i copy my itunes to my icloud?

Hi There
I called Vodafone yesterday to ask them to fix something on my phone and the stupid technician deleted ALL my contacts on my iCloud. I am distraught, I run my whole business and also social life from that phone and desperately need my contacts. I do have a full back up on my itunes but every time I restore, the iCloud overrides the new restore within 30 seconds and therefore deletes all my contacts again. Everything else is fine after I restore. Is there any way to get my contacts from my Itunes and save them on my icloud to avoid this happening? Or anything else I can do to avoid me losing my contacts forever? Thank you for your help

Try this:
Familiarize youself with putting your phone in airplane mode in Settings.  You will need to do this as soon as you finish restoring your backup, while your contacts are still on your phone and before your phone can connect to iCloud.
Now restore your iTunes backup as before.  Immediately after it completes put the phone in airplane mode.  Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and if prompted choose Delete from My iPhone.  This will delete the account from your phone but not from iCloud.  Go to Settings and turn Airplane Mode to Off so your phone can connect to the internet again. 
Now download and install the app My Contacts Backup on your phone and use it to back up the contacts on your phone as an attachment to an email and send it to yourself.  Next, go to Settings>iCloud, sign into your iCloud account and turn your sync settings on.  Your iCloud data should appear after a brief delay as it downloads.  This will also probably delete your contacts again as it did before.  Now open the email you sent earlier and tap the attachment to re-import your contacts.

  • How can I copy/transfer iTunes content ?

    How can I copy/transfer iTunes content from my old computer to the new one, considering that for some reason Target Mode and Migration Assistant doesn't work for me ?
    I don't need the application itself (it comes with the new computer) but just the content.
    I want to transfer my collection of CD in iTunes. they are all CD that I physically have in my living room, listen to them on my stereo and have copy them in my computer (which is in the Den) so I can listen while working on my computer.
    The iTunes is version 9.0.2
    Can I drag it to the external drive or perhaps just the songs, then copy/drag them to my new computer ?

    Hi-
    Can I drag it to the external drive or perhaps just the songs, then copy/drag them to my new computer ?
    Pretty much, Yes.
    If you wish to keep the formatting, notes, ratings, etc. that are with the library, you should allow the iTunes software to "discover" the library.
    If the iTunes Library from one machine is placed on an external drive, the iTunes software on the other machine can be directed to the library of the external drive when connected.
    Allowing "Copy to Home folder/music" will provide for copying of the library to the new machine.
    Alternatively, if the library is loaded onto an iPod, the iPod can be used to transfer the music.

  • How can I copy my iTunes library with playcount information to a new computer?!?

    Hello,
    I'm about to get a new computer. I have all my music on a external HD, so I won't have problems preserving my music. But I would like to preserve other information too. Especially the play count information. I think it's interesting how my top 25-most-played looks like, and the play count list I have now, took me 2 years to get.
    So my question is: Does anyone know how I can copy my iTunes library with all its information (play count, rating, comments, images, last played date etc.) to a new computer?
    Thanks a lot!

    Connect the external HDD to the iMac, launch iTunes while holding down the Option key. Choose the option to select library and navigate to the top level folder of the iTunes media on the external. Select it and click OK.

  • How can I copy my iTunes library to windows media player?

    Hi, I've spent all morning trying to consolidate all my music into Windows Media Player...so I can make playlists, etc. iTunes seems to be pretty tough....I've moved the library file around....copied, etc. and I can't seen to paste it into Windows Media Player. My itunes library has about 50 purchased songs, and another 100 from my own CDs.
    Does anyone know how to do this? I'm getting really irritable over this!!!
    Thanks in advance!

    The iTunes purchased songs will not transfer to Windows Media Player. Unless you have the iTunes Plus versions, iTunes purchased files are copy protected.
    There is nothing preventing you from adding the other files to Windows Media Player except for maybe file format. Did you rip the CDs to AAC or MP3 format. Don't know if WMP can play AAC. WMP has no problems with MP3.
    To add MP3 files to WMP just add them using WMP functions.

  • How can I copy my iTunes from my old pc to my new MacBook?

    Hi!
    Just a quick question; I have just picked up my new MacBook & wish to copy my iTunes library over from my old pc (a 8 month old Dell with Windows Vista). Is there a simple way to do this?
    Ideally I would like to keep the iTunes library on the old pc as well because my wife will be still using the old pc. Is this possible?
    Many thanks

  • How can I copy my ITunes sync files for my iPhone, iPad and iPod from my now discontinued PC to my new Mac?

    I want to be able to use my Macbook Pro to sync my IOS devices with I Tunes, but I think I need the files from the PC that I was using to sync them. Or maybe not !!  Perhaps if I just connect them to the Mac, ITunes will do the rest???? Or does it need the sync history?
    Or perhaps the Cloud can do it all and I don't need ITunes anymore. I have been using it also to back up the IOS devices and that's important too.
    Help will be appreciated very much.

    The Apple Store will do this for you.
    You can call Apple support and they will walk you through it.
    You can type "Move itunes library from pc to mac" into the google search bar.

  • How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

    How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?  I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them.   Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs?   The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • How can I copy songs with metadata (added in iTunes) from my PC to my new iMac?

    I have iTunes 12.0.1 on my Windows PC. I'm about to get a new iMac (hooray!) and I'm beginning the process of transferring everything on my PC to my Mac. I've got all the documents, pictures, files, etc. covered, but now I have to make a copy of all of my music.
    Most of the music in my iTunes library is not bought through the iTunes Store (I download most of my songs from the Internet). Then, after saving the downloaded song to my computer, I go into iTunes on my computer and add the song. I also add metadata like artist, album, genre, album artwork, etc. to the song in iTunes. What concerns me is that only the songs in iTunes have this metadata: the original downloaded files I saved onto my computer don't have any metadata.
    I really don't want to have to go through the long and tedious process of adding artist/album names, genre, etc. to every single song in my iTunes library on my new iMac. How can I copy songs with metadata (added in iTunes) from my PC to my new iMac?
    Thank you so much for any help!

    Hello! I'd like to learn more about Home Sharing. To do this, would both my PC (which I hope to get rid of) and my new iMac need to be plugged in?
    Also, after Home Sharing with the old PC is initiated, I understand that all my songs would appear on my iMac. Is there a way to copy all of these (with album artwork, name, artist, etc.) directly to the iMac's hard drive and then disconnect home sharing so I can get rid of my PC?
    Thank you!
