HOW DO I RECOVER MY MISSING SONGS, PLAYLISTS, AND OTHER DATA

Almost half of my songs are gone. My playlists are all gone and my rankings are also missing.

    Your iTunes library isn't deleted when you uninstall it, so uninstall iTunes without worrying about this

    Hi,
    If the tracks were not in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribed to match, I am afraid that they are lost. Do you have a separate back up of this music?

  • Download iPod songs, playlists and photos to another iTunes (PC user)

    Hi there, could anyoner please help ?.. I need to download my iPod info (including songs of course) to another iTunes, every time I connect the iPod a message appears telling it will be restored, with an option.. all I want to do is to download my playlists and other stuff to another iTunes, thanks.!

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting to a different PC and iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

    There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

  • I had my Ipod touch 4gen on itunes of computer that crashed. On new computer i updated it, hit the wrong button, and lost everything. How do i get my old songs, apps, and account money back?

    I had my ipod 4gen itunes on a computer that crashed. With the new computer I update it to the lastest version. I hit the wrong transfer button and lost everything. How do I get my old songs, apps, and money back from my old account, if thats possible?

    I cant find any of my recently bought songs or the apps i have purchased. When I was updating my ipod there was a button that asked about transfering purchases and I didnt read it, and I didnt update manually so i think thats why i lost everything. I clicked on the intrustions and clicked on apps and i coulnt find any of my old stuff.

    Set it up again. If you didn't delete anything from the mail server, everything should sync right back up.

    i have recently purchased a macbook pro and i gave my macbook to my wife, how can she recover the apps i bought and paid for so she can use the Pages, Numbers and Keynote

    If you bought/paid for them in the Mac App Store, you would just need to sign in to the MAS with the Apple ID you used to purchase them, go to purchases, and click install.
    As for the limited licensing that Bordy brought up, the TOS for the MAS states:
    "Apps from the Mac App Store may be used on any Macs that you own or control for your personal use."
    If you installed them from an iWork disc, just pop the disc back in and reinstall.

  • My computer crashed with all my itunes files.  I was able to get some off and transfer them to another computer.  I am afraid to sync my ipod to the new computer becaused I do not want to loose all of my playlists and other music.  Will this happen?

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

    Once you are in Recovery Mode, it's too late to do any backup. I am afraid you are going to lose your data.

  • I have 646 websites that have stored cookies and other data on my computer. How necessary is it to keep these stored files?  My thought is to delete them.  Input?

    Good Morning,
    I have 646 websites that have stored "cookies and other data" on my comupter.  How necessary is it to keep these??  My thought is to delete them.  Any advice?

    I have never encountered a site to which I couldn't log in again after trashing its cookie(s). If you use Firefox (Preferences), you can list exceptions of cookies you don't want removed (e.g., for startpage and duckduck searching, I keep startpage and duckduck cookies in order to keep those search settings) and those you never want to accept (I have all Google cookies blocked. Doesn't keep me from using Google search, images or maps, but if you belong to a Google group or run some  kind of Google program, that may be a problem.) Safari probably has some cookie manager extension available for that also.
    If you use Firefox, NoScript will effectively block all google tracking that occurs on mousedown.
    In your browser>Preferences, make sure you don't allow third party sites to store cookies.
    What's even more worrisome than ordinary cookies, are Flash cookies ("Local Shared Objects"), which are persistent cookies, including the "evercookie." They aren't stored in the browser.
    With Firefox, you can deal with this by using the Better Privacy Add-on, or see this post of mine, as modified by Kurt Lang.

  • How do I transfer my iPod songs & playlists to a new computer?

    Hi there:
    First here's the situation. I've got iTunes 7.71 on my MacBook Pro and I've got a huge music library (approx 256 GB) that I keep on an external firewire drive. (In case it matters, the overwhelming majority of stuff in the library consists of MP3 rips from my CD collection-- very little is from the iTunes store).
    I also have a 60 GB color display iPod that I use to listen to tunes when I'm at the gym, on planes, etc. Since my whole iTunes library does NOT fit on that, I don't try to synch my whole library to the iPod, but just a few selected playlists (which I keep in a playlist folder called "iPod playlists"), which total about 50 GB of songs.
    OK, got that? Now: here's the challenge:
    I just started work at a new job and I would really like to be able to transfer the iPod part of my library to the (Windows) machine I have there... the songs/playlists, etc. (I don't want/need all 256 GB of my library there... and in fact, I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be enough room on the machine for it. Also, I don't want to just plug in my iPod or an iPod dock and play from that, as I really like all the additional sorting functionality that iTunes offers, and frankly, I just know I'd leave my iPod at work half the time and be kicking myself for it at the gym..)
    So: How do I do this? I searched around among the support documents and found very detailed instructions on how one can use an iPod to transfer a WHOLE library from one computer to another (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329). But that's not what I want to do here-- and the size of my main library precludes it. I just want to transfer the part of my library that I put on my iPod to my work machine.
    There ought to be an easy way to do this, I think-- but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone out there please point me to info on how this can be done? Or just tell me? Thanks!

    Although my question has not yet been answered, I have since discovered that I asked on too specific of a forum. I have re-posted it on the general iPod forum and will shortly be marking this thread as answered to avoid confusion.
    The new version of this post is it at:

  • HT201272 My computer crashed, how can I recover my downloded songs

    My computer crashed recently.  Although I recovered most of my material, I couldn't recover the songs which I downloded.  How can I recover them.  I would appreciate any help.  John Szabo

    What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system was it running on and will it be running on?
    On how many computers do you already have this same purchased activated serial number? Assuming just the computer that crashed?
    If just that one crashed computer, then just install the program from your installation files or installation disc.
    But, make sure your installation files or installation disc for the crashed computer will be supported by the new computer.
    If you already have the same purchased activated serial number on two computers (crashed and another one), then you will need to deactivate
    this purchased activated serial number for the other non crashed computer before trying to install on the new computer.
    We can give you more details on Deactivation once we know the program version.
    Adobe allows the purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. And you cannot use them at the same time.
    Please review. If any questions or need clarification, please ask.
    Thank you.

    Add On...If more sorting out is required, then Adobe will need to do it since it is the only one to take care of activation issues. We are not Adobe.
