  • My hard drive crashed and I lost everything. No backup.  Does Itunes backup to a server?  Can I get my library back?  If so how?

    My hard cdrive crashed and I lost everything.  No Music library back up.   Does Itunes have my music on their Server?  If so how can I get it back?

    You can re-download everything you already bought, if you remember what it was, and you won't have to pay again. This assumes the music you purchased is still available for download.
    Other than iCloud backup, which does not store your non-iTunes purchased music anyway, that is all there is.
    From iCloud: Backup and restore overview:
    The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:
    Music, movies and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store

  • My hard drive crashed and I lost everything. How do I get all my itunes purchases restored?

    My hard drive carshed so Best Buy installed a new one. I had to reinstall all my apps including itunes. how do I get all the songs I've pirchased back?

    If the hard drive mechanically doesn't work anymore and if it doesn't make financial sense to spend  $2000-$3000 or so for specialized platter recovery services...there is no option...
    ,,,however if it's just the OS that's fried, a $20 powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter can be used on the drive, make it just like a external drive.
    ..EVEN if the file structure is fried and malware deleleted the files, software like DataRescue can be used to recover the files directly from the 1's and 0's on the disk.
    The best recovery is backing up your data and preparing for the unexpected.
    Apple won't re-issue your content.
    Good Luck. Sorry to break the bad news.
    EDIT: Hold on, just saw you have  a iPod Touch.
    There is third party software that can return the files off the iPod Touch, check over at iLounge what currently works.
    I can't suggest such software here, it can be used to facilitate piracy.

    Hi,
    The simplest solution would to restore from your back up - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
    If you do not have a back, you can select first track on list in song view, from menu > edit > select all. Next ctrl+click and select download from pop up. You may wish to do this in small batches as it will take some time to download.

  • Can I sync from iPad to a Mac as hard drive crashed and data lost

    My iMac hard drive crashed and the data cannot be recovered. Can I sync the iTunes data on my iPad or iPhone back onto the new hard drive?

    You should be able to recover data that is in the backup. That does not included some items like music. See the following for what is in the backup:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
    First in iTunes preferences check the box for prevent automatic syncing when a device is connected.
    They connect your iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases to the computer. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    Then right click on the iPad listed under Devices in the left hand side and click on "Back Up". After backup is complete I think you will have to restore the iPad from backup to complete the process of using your iPad to the "new" computer.

  • How can I restore Windows 7 to Bootcamp partition - not reformat the entire hard drive?

    Hello Apple (Mac) Community,
    I originally posted this question over on answers.microsoft, but no help was forthcoming. Hope someone can help me with a problem that's (almost) making me nuts! I teach graphics to college students. In brief: I run Windows 7 Pro 64 on a Mac Pro tower, along with Snow Leopard (OSX). Windows is loaded on one partition of a 1TB drive. The other partition is a Mac backup. The Mac OS is on a different drive. Everything was going swimmingly with both OS, until recently. Unfortunately, the drive with Windows showed problems and I determined that the HD was either toast or needed a total reformat. My Mac data was all backed-up. Now I wanted to backup Windows so I can easily get back to the relatively happy point of my Windows 7 experience (drivers loaded, dual monitors all working, etc.). I did some online searching and the recommendation was to create a "system image" of the existing Windows 7 install by attaching an external drive, formatting that to NTFS and selecting "backup to image" in Windows. I did that and also took the opportunity to "create a backup disc" on a DVD. (Windows recommended). Next I rebooted back to Mac OS and completely reformatted the problem 1TB disc to a single partition, zero all data, just to see if it would actually reformat. It all worked! So far, so good. Next I used Bootcamp to create two partitions, one for Windows. I then restarted using the Win7 Pro (64) install disc, reformatted the Bootcamp disk to NTFS (as required) and installed Windows 7. After all that is completed and all working, I next try to use the restore from image function while booted in Windows. I'm instructed to restart from the Win install disc, which I do. Here's where things get difficult. When I try to choose restore from image, at that point the installer asks which drives to I want to exclude... but does not show partitions, only full HDs. I do not want to reformat the entire 1TB drive. I only want Windows on the 120gb Bootcamp partition (which is already formatted for Windows BTW). I spent a lot of time online reading through articles with users having the same frustration.
    So here (at long last) is my question: How can I either restore Windows just to a Bootcamp partition... using "Windows System Image" or if that can't be done... can I somehow import all of the settings, etc. from the "image" (image is on external HD) into a fresh Win 7 install? So far the "backup disc" also seems useless. I can't even boot to Windows from it. BTW Apple folks: the only response on the MS side was that some "expert" simply posted links on how to install Windows and restore... not helpful with my particular problem of restoring to a partition.
    Any help would be appreciated! Hopefully some help that even a Mac user / new Windows user could understand would be better! Thanks!

    WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.

    Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
    During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.

    I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
    OS X
    Windows
    Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine

    There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.
    AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
    I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

  • HT4718 How can i reinstall OS X Mountain Lion on my computer after my hard drive failed and i had a new one installed?

    I paid for Mountain Lion about 2 months ago and my Hard drive just crashed.  Is there a way i can reinstall Mountain lion without having to pay again?

    What OS did it ship with? If it was Lion, then you can use Internet Recovery to install on the new drive. IR will install the original shipping OS. You can then log into the App store and upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    If it came with Snow Leopard, you will need to install Snow Leopard from your install DVD, then upgrade to Mountain Lion.

  • Can I install Snow Leopard over Lion to install old software after hard drive crashed?

    My hard drive crashed and I lost everything.  I have a new hard drive, but when the repair shop installed my operating system, they installed Lion and I no longer have my prior updates.  My computer had been updated a few times.  I have a lot of software that only can be installed up to 10.7 such as Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, Office Mac 2011, etc.  I was wondering if I installed Snow Leopard over Lion, would I lose Lion?  Should I install Snow Leopard and then Lion again?  I don't want to damage my like new computer and I don't want to have to go out and buy all new software.  Is there a solution?  Thanks in advance!

    Sounds complicated!  If I repartition the drive and install Snow Leopard onto the blank volume, will Lion still be there?  Or, will the computer basically have two operating systems that I have to go back and forth from.  Is this something a novice like myself can do?

  • My hard drive crashed and need music off of iphone to computer

    Hi, ok so my hard drive crashed and i lost all my music.  I toke the computer in and the tech guys supposedly saved all my info on my external hard drive but for some reason i can not get my music back to itunes so i can restore everything.  So my question is if there is anyway to get my info off of my iphone back to my computer

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use 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 an ipod/iphone.  Without syncing :  File>Transfer Purchases
    Make sure you have authorized the computer to your account first.
    If you sync contacts and calendars to a blank computer, then they will be erased as well.  Another reason why always maintaining a backup is critical.
    You can enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer and when you first sync you should get the option to merge.
    As soon as you do this, make a backup copy of your computer and maintain it.
