How can i get content library

i can't add text because i don't have content library but i don't know how to get it.

I have only been running iTunes for a very short time, so it was not backed up. I know my library is toast. I can recreate that. But I should still be able to recover my purchased songs. There is only music involved, no movies or other media. Still have an answer? Thanks.

My 1st ipod was lost. My library is on a Dell with Windows. I registered my new ipod to a Mac. How can I get my library from Windows onto my new Ipod?

My 1st ipod was lost. My library is on a Dell with Windows. I registered my new ipod to a Mac. How can I get my library from Windows onto my new Ipod?

Thank you for your help. I am still having trouble. As you can tell, I am not technologically advanced AT ALL. My music is all showing up in the library but when I go to file in the top left corner, Sync is greyed out and I cannot select it. I'm gonna continue to try this. It's been a long time since I had my 1st ipod and things have changed so much I will probably need to research this stuff. Thanks again for your help.

How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
(Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album. That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing. Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

Thanks for your replies ckuan
I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work. It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer. The folder structure is completely missing. I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better. Bye bye iTunes!!
Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler. Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler. Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure. OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files. No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted. iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library. Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...

Help please! So my laptop died when i spilt coffee all over it. I had never synched my itunes (i know i know) and now i cannot access my tunes library. How can i get my library back ?! Thanks

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you don't have such a device there are links in the article that will show how to recover your purchases.
In addition, the laptop may have drowned but the hard drive is probably fine. You should be able to find someone who can extract the drive from the laptop and recover your personal data from it.

HT1473 how can i get my library to copy from my i-pod shuffle to my computers i-tunes library?

How do you get a library to copy from an i-pod shuffle to the i-tune library on the computer?

If you have not done so, you may want to restart your computer.
That message (about the song file not found) means iTunes cannot locate the song file where it expects to find it. Are you sure you can still play the song in iTunes (?), because you may get a yellow exclamation point next to the song, meaning the same thing; iTunes did not find the song file where iTunes expected to find it.
The consolidate command would not help if iTunes can't locate the files.
That might mean they were moved or deleted. If you do a Get Info (from right-click) on one of those songs, the Info window should tell you the expected location of the song file, on the Summary tab next to Where. Follow that path (using Windows) to see if the song file is there.

Had to do complete system restore - how can I get my library and apps back?

I recently had to do a complete system restore on my laptop. How can I get my iTunes library back, including apps? I haven't updated my iPod Touch in a while because I don't want everything on it to be erased.
Thanks!

You restore them from the backups you made before you did a complete system restore.
You do make regular backups, especially before you wipe your system, correct?
haven't updated my iPod Touch in a while because I don't want everything on it to be erased.
You can get everything off your iPod touch

Make backups after you get them loaded.

I have a new computer, how can I get my library from my IPod

My IPOD won't syc up to my new computer how can I get it to do that without losing my library?

Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

How can I get my library to show on a different computer?

My own laptop is broken. I can use another laptop to access my iTunes account. That laptop already has its own iTunes account, but that doesn't have all my songs on, so I'd like to access my own iTunes library. I can sign in to iTunes on this laptop, I have authorised this laptop for my account, but i still can't get my library to show up on here. I can get my library to show up on my iPad mini, but i can't sync to my daughter's iPod nano as there are enough songs in my library to fill an iPod Classic. I don't think i can sync from an iPad mini anyway? Is there any way that I can either check certain songs on my iPad mini, but not all of them, so that i can sync my daughter's iPod nano on my iPad mini, or that I can get my own library to show up on this laptop rather than the other, pre-existing library?

Is the Laptop Mac or PC?
What version of OS X(if Mac)/Windows(if PC) and iTunes do you have on your laptop?
Do you have a iCloud acount?
Have you enabled "Home Sharing" on iTunes?
Do you use a USB cable to sync music on iPad?

I have lost my iTunes library. How can I get my library back?

My iTunes library was stored on an external hard drive. Given that the MTBF of these drives is probably measured in months, I realize this was a bad decision on my part; nonetheless, it happened. How to I get my library returned to me?

What happened? The drive failed? If you do not have the music backed up some where else, and the drive cannot be accessed there isn't anything for you to do. You'll simply have to re-download what purchased music is available from iTunes and/or re-rip any CDs.

MY LAPTOP CRASHED BUT MY LIBRARY IS ON MY HOME PC HOW CAN I GET THE LIBRARY BACK TO MY LAPTOP WITHOUT ERASING THE SONGS I REPURCHASED

HOW CAN I MOVE LIBRARY FROM ONE PC TO MY LAPTOP WITHOUT ERASING REPURCHASED SONGS ON MY LAPTOP

I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks). Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window. I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box. When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window. It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

Transferring files over from the hard drive of a previous computer. How can I get my library back?

A couple weeks ago, my old, old laptop finally breathed its last breath and shut off suddenly while I was using it. Various parts of it were broken anyway so I got a new one rather than try to figure out what was wrong with it. All of my files were totally undamaged since it wasn't a hard drive issue, so I just got one of those enclosure things where you unscrew your old hard drive, stick it into the enclosure, plug it into your new computer with a USB cord, and then can drag all your old files onto the new computer.
I could get all my old music back this way by dragging those folders, but if I want to get my library back -- specifically, my playlists, and ideally my info on play counts/date added/etc -- is there a way that I can do that? Is there some "Library" file, series of files, or folder that I can drag onto my new laptop in order to get those things back without having to recreate all my playlists and lose my play info?
Have been running Windows 7 on both my old and current laptop, and was using iTunes version 10.7.0.21, if that information is necessary. Can give you whatever other info you'd need. Thanks!

1. By default, it will be in the same folder as the iTunes Music or iTunes Media folder. If you don't find it, search the computer for items with that name.
2. Wherever you want.

How can I get iTunes library on my laptop to play all downloaded songs/videos?

Not all my songs/videos play in the iTunes library on my laptop. I also have songs on an iPod and and iPod shuffle, and made a separate playlist for my iPhone and iPad. How can I listen to all my downloaded songs on my laptop again?

You can't; iTunes doesn't have the code necessary to play DVDs, not even ones you created.
