You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer. If a Mac, you need OSX 10.6.8 or later and that requires and Tntel processor. However, you may be able to sync with iTunes 10.6.3 and OSX 10.5.8 but not restore

- If in the USA you can redownoad iTunes purchased music by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- If not in USA, you can contact iTunes and they may allow a redownload if yu explain what happened. However, it is up to your to backup music.
- For other music you will have to go back to where it was obtained.

Use your backup copy of your computer.

HT204406 I tuned on IMatch, hated it, so turned it off. I want to get all my music back from the Cloud so that it sits locally on my hard drive. How do I do that?

Hello Tina,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you would like to download your songs from iTunes Match. You can do this by turning iTunes Match back on and clicking the cloud icon with the downward facing arrow next to the songs that you would like to download to your computer:
Available for Download
This icon appears when a song is available in iCloud and hasn't been downloaded to your local library.

No, this is not what iTunes Match does. When you enable the service it leaves all the original files right where they are and mirrors your library in the cloud by either matching tracks to tracks available on the iTune Store or uploading tracks to the cloud. The service does not delete files from your HDD.
I am unsure what you mean by "library icon" or "itunes library file" but if you mean the iTunes Library.itl file the size of that file is irrelevant.
Before you enabled the iTunes Match service approximately how many songs were in your iTunes library and where were they stored? On the internal HDD of the computer, or on an external? Also, do you have backups?

Itunes was deleted? Or your itunes library was deleted?
If it was just itunes, then your music should still be there. Just reinstall itunes.
Otherwise just use your backup copy of your comuter to put everything back.

For what silly reason would someone expect media to magically appear simply because they signed into iTunes?
Media is only where the user puts it.
Either copy the media from the old computer (or it's backup) to the new computer or download past purchases from iTunes.
Downloading past purchases

By restoring it from your backup, redownloading it through the iCloud, migrating it from the old computer, or transferring it from an iPod or similar device.

How do I get ALL my music back ??

I had 3.5 DAYS of music in iTunes and now it's gone. How do I get it ALL back ??

Have you checked to see if it's still on your computer, just not listed in your iTunes library - have you tried searching for it in Finder ?
If not then you can copy to back from your backup of your library/downloads, or for your iTunes purchased music do you have it on your iOS device - if you do then you can copy to back from that via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

Upgrading OS - How do I get all my music back into reinstalled iTunes?

Hi. We are upgrading my operating system from Windows 2000 to XP on my computer that currently runs iTunes. I have my entire iTunes folder backed up on another computer. I know I'll probably have to reinstall iTunes after the OS is upgraded. But how do I add all that music back into the new version of iTunes? We won't be replacing the hard drive, so all that music should still be on the same computer.
When I reinstall iTunes, will it automatically add the music back, or will I have to do that manually? If so, how do I do it? Just go to the "Add a folder" option in iTunes and add the entire iTunes folder? If I do that, my playlists should be restored since I have the .itl file in that folder, right?
This is so confusing.

Install iTunes.
Copy the backed up iTunes folder into My Documents/My Music.

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.
The iCloud backup includes iTunes purchases only.
You can redownload iTunes purchases likePhilly_Phan said

How do I get all my music back in iCloud?

All my music in iCloud was greyed out so I followed what seems to have worked for pretty much everyone on here, signing in and out and then turning iTunes Match on again, and it's gotten rid of all the music from my library... Is there any way to get this working again or do I have to add EVERYTHING back manually?
So irritated.

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.
