How do I get my photos and music back into new version iTunes from my iPad?

I have the new version of iTunes (11 0 2 26) for Windows which installed over my old copy. I see none of my music etc even after it claims to have synced and backed up. How do I get my photos and music back into iTunes from my iPad? It syncs OK with calendar and contacts from Outlook and I can force copying of apps and books but why does it not show music and photos in the iTunes library? help please.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I had to reset my iPhone. How do I get my apps and music back?

I had to reset my iPhone. How do I get my apps and music back? It is backed up on iCloud. Thanks

Restore it from your iCloud backup. Here are the instructions:
iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud
Expect it to take a long time, several hours if you purchased many apps and / or songs.

It's a bit late now. You will need to use third-party software such as Phone to PC in order to transfer the files to your new iTunes library. For items purchased from the iTunes Store you can re-download them: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

How can i get my photos and videos back after backing up from my 2nd generation ipod into my 5th generation ipod? I really need those photos but i dont know how.

I downloaded the new itunes. So, i plugged in my 5th generation ipod and when i plugged it in, it asked me if i want to set it as new ipod or back up from the 2nd generation ipod touch that i plugged in before, i accidently clicked on the back up from before so it when its done, it looked like my 2nd gen. ipod and i dont like it. All my photos and videos from 5th gen. Ipod were all gone and there are some pictures that i really need as soon as possible. Is there a way i can i can get those photos and videos back? I really need them. :(

Did you fail to import them to your computer?
If so, then they are gone.

How do you manage your iPod? Do you Sync your entire music library, or only selected playlists?

How do I get my photos and books after installing new Windows?

I installed a new Windows 7 on an SSD to speed up the desktop computer. The new iTunes, of course, was empty. Now I want to sync my iPad with the new iTunes but I'm afraid that I will loose all my books (freely available ones that I downloaded and imported to the media library as well as work related PDFs).
All the data should be still on the old drive (that still is in the computer) somewhere (so I'm hoping that my problem can be resolved). I was able to find the music but where is all the other data? Can I use a backup made on the old iTunes? Where would I find that?
When connecting the iPad iTunes says that the iPad is tied to another iTunes database (well, yes, but not by my choosing, would have loved to continue using my old one, thank you) and I either can erase everything from my iPad and start with this one or never ever sync again. So, do I choose the rock or the hard place?
This restrictive syncing is a real pain in the neck. Have the same problem when I go out to sea (i.e. without internet connection) and my MacBook Pro. Everything from the iPad is erased and replaced by the MacBook Pro contents. If I forgot to add anything to the MacBook, tough luck.
Anyone who can tell me where to find the documents from iBooks on my old drive and how to get them included in the new system's iTunes?
Syncing across different devices? No such thing in reality. iCloud sounds great but seems useless...

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases (which should include PDFs in the iBooks app even though they aren't purchases) off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases.
On Windows 7 your backup should be stored under :
\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
But without restoring onto a device you probably won't be able to make much sense of the backup files.
If you want to copy off photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer

How do i get the apps and music back on my iPod 4th generation after restoring it?

My ipod touch 4th generation was being really slow and crashing on almost every app. I have had it for 1 and a half years. I decided to back everything up and restore it . This worked almost flawlessly; the problem is that i have lost my apps and music.I still have my photos and contacts and the background is the same and the wifi automatically connected. Is there anything i can do or will i just have to download all the apps and music again? Thankyou

If not in your iTunes library
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How to I get my photos and apps back from iCloud?

Yesterday I had to get a replacement iPhone 4S. I didn't have time to wait for my photos and apps to restore from iCloud and I want to do it now. Everything is saying "waiting" but there are no status bars on anything and after 1 hour, nothing has restored.

If you no longer have the phone or have any Backup of it at all, you can re-download your apps and your content from the iTunes Store by logging into your Apple ID at settings> iTunes & App Store. Unfortunately you can no longer recover the data that was associated with those apps.
So far as your photos go, you can recover any photos that were in photo stream and taken less than 30 days ago by logging in with your Apple ID to settings> iCloud> photos. Unfortunately you will be unable to recover any photos from your camera roll.

How do I get my pictures and music back?

I updated my phone today to get the newest software. My music got deleted but my pictures where there. I did the restore thinking it would take me back to before and it took me back to having a new phone. I lost all music and all pictures.

Music is never sync'd back across, its always done manually. Apps should automatically sync back across after you restore from backup.

How to get my photos and music from my iphone to my hp laptop without having windowed on my laptop

i just got anew hp laptop. it does not have windows. I want to be able to link my iphone with my laptop but don't know how. want to be able to get my photos and music from my phone to my laptop and be able to load music on to my ipod. Is this possible to do

I think there is still no APP or a way to copy music or videos from Iphone to PC. Pictures can be copied when you access the storage of the iphone from PC. Not sure if you are using other laptop before with itunes where you organize everything about your iphone. If you have, copy the Itunes folder from My Music folder and paste it on the new laptop you have, (you need to install Itunes first on your new laptop before doing this)

I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini. My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed. So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone. How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help. Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
