How do I get my music library back on the wallpaper of my iPod?, How do I get my music library back on the wallpaper of my iPod?
My kids somehow erased my music library from the wallpaper of my iPod. I don't know how to access my music now. Please help!
Just what do you mean? Are you saying that you can't find the Music app on one of your home screens?
If so go to Setting>General>reset>Reset Screen layout

This is a crazy circumstance of events. We have an iphone that we use as our office line. My husband accidentally got his iphone wet so while we were submitting it to be replaced through AT&T insurance plan, I had taken the sim card out of the office iphone and put his sim card into it and he was using it for a couple weeks. Somewhere on this forum I had found the instructions for doing this and it worked. He set a passcode on it while he was using it. Then he got his new replacement iphone and we switched simcards back and was good to go with his newly replaced iphone. In the meantime the other office iphone had been forwarded to me and we at that time didn't have another person working in the office so the iphone sat off for about 6 weeks maybe. Of course, during those 6 weeks the passcode, that was set on it, was forgotten - tried a few different things he thought that he'd set it to with no luck. So I looked up what needed to be done and how to restore the iphone. This particular iphone had not been plugged into a computer since having the original sim card put back into it after my husband had used it with his sim card so it wasn't able to get past the not having the correct passcode by just plugging into a computer that it had been synced with. I restored it. And this maybe is where I messed up or where maybe the new Iphone/Itunes OS messed up. I did accidentally check the sync button once the iphone was restored. I looked at Itunes and realized the music in the library on the computer was gone as well as the playlists. This is such a bummer because this is the business macbook pro and we run boat charters so all of that music is what is on the boat's ipod and played during the charters. There are playlists for sunsets, for cloudy days, multiple reggae playlists, etc. totaling 80 different playlists and tons of music - so much hardwork went into making those. Is there any way to get it all back???? Please help if you can - I'd be ever so grateful. Thanks.
When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

When I click on the Music tab on my Apple TV 2, a message tells me I have to set up iTunes Match to stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac. I don't want to set up and pay for iTunes Match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to Aple TV
Ditto.
You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
Help!No backup is a huge mistake.
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

My hard drived crashed in my HP Pavilion desktop and I have installed a new one. I have Windows 2007. My Itunes library is gone. How can I get all the music that I loaded onto my iPod from my own CD's back into an Itunes library?
The loading of audio files to iPod is designed to go one way only: computer to iPod. There are some third-party applications available which will rescue an audio library and write the files back to a PC HDD. The playlists might not copy, nor the album art work, nor videos but you might be able to recover all audio files. Some apps are open source and available for free download, for example: Senuti, Onyx. There are others which are Windows-based; do a Google search to find out.

I had iTunes on my old computer and I am trying to get all of the same music on my new computer. I have download iTunes and signed in, but it is not showing up in my library. How do I get all of my old music back?
It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -
I have recently upgraded my iphone 4 software and thought I'd backed up all my stuff. When I restored the settings only 73 out of 895 songs were downloaded to my Itunes library. I then went on my other laptop with all the old stuff on and tried to synch them. This led to all the music in this itunes library being wiped except for the 73 on my phone.
HOW DO I GET MY MUSIC BACK!!!
I share my music with my wife and we both purchase using different id's but have not had problems before in downloading to our phones. She is now a little peeved with me and any help would be very gratefully received and make my life alot easierHello johnohuk,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Thanks,

I have an old Ipod 5th gen that I have been using for downloading music from my library. Upon purchasing an Ipod touch and registering it in Itunes, I can no longer sync tunes to my old ipod. How can I get that option back on my old ipod?
- iTunes purchases by maybe
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
newer copy
BTW, this is the iPod touch forum. -

Lost all my music in my library when I update to 10.5.8, how can I get it back?
When I updated to 10.5.8, I had backed up all my files and some I did as zip. files as not to take up a lot of space which I did not have. When I went to un-zip myn music Library, this is what I got. help. If you need more information just ask. thank you

What you posted looks like the iTunes Library.xml file I will let you read about how iTunes works but not only is the .xml not your main library it is just the listing of tracks in your library and where the music files should be located. Your music is actually in media files (by the way, it is pointless to zip those as they are already compressed). Anyway, read these and you will see that your true library file (iTunes Library.itl) is only a small, but still important, part of a complete library.
What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660

Where are my iTunes files located? - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
As you can see, a library has several components, so "getting it back" depends upon what is missing, what it was you actually backed up in the end, if any of this music was purchased from the iTunes Store, etc. -
I have music on my iPad, but I can no longer find it in itunes on my mac. How do I get those "CDs" back in my library? I cannot listen to them on my Mac or put them on another device!
Thanks a lot! After I sent the above post, I tried that. It worked a little. Some of the ones that I Purchased would not come up. I followed instructions from Apple about going to Purchased and downloading them again, but ran into another problem. They are greyed on my Mac and they will not download again. It says to click on the iCloud beside them, but there is not one visible. iCloud is set up, at least I thought it was. I am sure there is a simple explanation, but I am missing it!

I changed from manually managing music to create more space on my IPod and lost a lot of the my music since it synched with another library. ( I think off another long gone computer!) I HAVE to get this music back! There are songs I can no longer find! How do I get this "Cannot locate file for this song" music back on my ITunes library and IPod?
Thanks for any and all help!!See this article for more help and information.

The music library in the updated version of iTunes is grossly incomplete although the music still remains on my iPod. Why did this happen and how do I get the music back into the library?
Hi Dalegu219,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iTunes library is on an external hard drive, but iTunes is not recognizing the library, first make sure the right library is selected.
You can use these steps to make sure iTunes is opening the library on your external drive:
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
You should see one of these screens:
Pick Choose Library and locate the library on your external hard drive.
From:
iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one - Apple Support
If the right library is selected, but you do not see your songs, try re-creating the library using the instructions found here:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy -

Hi guys...I have just got a new computer and want to get my library back up and running on it. However I seem to be missing some of my iTunes music purchases. Any ideas on how to get them back? They show up on my ipad but not my actual itunes account.
Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
