How can I retrieve my music I lost when I backed up my ipad to my computer?

I have always been able to back up my ipad to my computer and load I tunes (personal music, not purchased) on other equipment.  Now it has deleted 1400 songs I loaded over the years and they are not stored on my computer and were erased from my ipad.  Any suggestions?

  • After 2 years of not having a PC i now have a laptop... I downloaded iTunes.  How can I retrieve my music library???

    After 2 years of not having a PC i recently purchased and ASUS laptop and downloaded iTunes.  How can I retrieve my music library?
    I thought I backed it up on an external hard drive, but I can't import the files to my library...
    I also still have my iPod with my full library on it, but if I sync it to my new iTunes, it will wipe the librarry.
    Is there any way Apple can help me recover my music library?

    When you sync an IP with iTunes AND you have some purchased music that was downloaded directly to your IP, a box pops up asking if you want to transfer that data to your computer.   The box clearly says if you don't, the music will be erased from your IP.  As the previous poster states, I believe you can download the music again at no additional charge.

  • My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini?

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

    I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?

    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
    When you get it all working, make a backup!

    No Backup?
    Simply put, you can't.
    I won't rub salt into it anymore, but I guess you have just learned the importance of backing up your information.

  • How can I retrieve an Apple ID password when the Apple ID (email address) no longer exists?

    How can I retrieve an ex employees Apple ID password when she can't even remember it? Plus Apple ID used to her company email address, which no longer exists for her. Apple support says it will send an email to her so I can change the password, but I'll never get it, since her email no longer works, she is not with us no more. Help please! I need to pass this iPhone to another, new employee.

    You cannot retrieve her password. Note the Apple ID, in Apple's eyes, belongs to _her_.  It is not the property of the company.  If she wishes to reset the password, she can go to the Apple ID site:  https://appleid.apple.com/ and try and change it.  If she doesn't know the password and has no access to the email address it may prove challenging if she provided no backup email address.
    But I'm not sure this is the root of the problem.  If the iPhone is locked using "activation lock" and it's running iOS 7 then yes, it will need to be unlocked.  If your company has proof of purchase of the iPhone, you may wish to try contacting AppleCare.  Otherwise, she can release it by going to her iCloud page and disabling it.

  • How can I retrieve my music I have lost everything after I sync to my phone. Now everything is gone Please help!!!, How can I retrieve my music I have lost everything after I sync to my phone. Now everything is gone Please help!!!

    I need help I have lost all my music that was in my iphone after I sync my phone with itunes Library now I  want to know how can I get it back.
    Thank you

    Trying to get some more info:  You had music on your phone and on your computer before this- correct? Are you syncing to the same computer with the same Apple ID that you did before?  Does iTunes still show your music - but not your phone?  Is this the situation or something different.
    More info will help us help you.

    How can i bring back or retrieve,,,or re install my lost wi-fi address?my iphone4 setting?

    If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (do you remember the answers to your security questions or have a rescue email address on the account ?) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the password reset (they can also reset security questions).
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with

    Then update the primary email address to be an email account that you have access to : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
