How do I restore CD tracks lost with the iTunes 11 upgrade?

I had over 500 songs loaded from CD's that iTunes 11 cannot locate on my MacPro library. 
Example:  Beach Boys "Sounds of Summer" album:
1.  All the tracks from this CD have an exclamation point in front of the song title
2.  When I click on the track I get the following message " The song “California Girls” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?
3.  I click on Yes to locate the file
4.  I am able to find the album folder in the library but the folder is now empty
Oddly enough I can play the music on my iPad and iPhone.  Am interested if anyone else has experienced this problem and hopefully a way to restore this music without having to reload all these CD's! 

You should be able to unlock it on a computer other than the one that it is normally synced to, though the content will be wiped and I think that you need to put it into DFU mode first e.g. post https://discussions.apple.com/message/15385719#15385719 in thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/15385641#15385641
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
Restoring is not something that I've yet needed to do

    how can i use my apple ID with the itune store over my windows laptop

    If you don't have iTunes installed on your laptop then you can download and install it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can then log into your account on it via the Store > Sign In menu option (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can get the menus to show via control-B) :
    And you can then select the Store on the left-hand sidebar (you can enable the sidebar via control-S), and then browse items in the store and buy them by clickin on their price.

    Hello SEGrady2,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The display on your iPhone with the iTunes logo and a cord indicates it is in recovery mode, and will need to be restored using iTunes.  Please take a look at the support article below for directions on how to resolve this issue.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • How do I stop files from downloading with the itunes symbol?

    Yes, I'm trying to download something to without it automatically using itunes as default or the itunes symbol.
    I have gone to tools>options>applications and that doesn't seem to work. Even when it asks me what program to use and I choose winzip the download is STILL itunes.
    Very very... very frustrated that i cannot even seem to do such a basic thing as change my default download options. I was able to in previous firefox versions but do not recall what i did, or maybe it has changed in newer versions and I am not any longer able to for some reason?
    Tbh because I purchase and download quite a bit of music and other different files online this may prove to be a deal breaker and I am considering for the first time since Netscape recommended I use firefox changing to chrome or microsoft explorer or whatever the other browswers are.
    Please if you could help me out I would appreciate it immensely.
    Thank you for you time.
    Regards,
    -Jon

    Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Then you can restore your phone:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    I had a new phone and I clicked some pictures and then I restore my new phone with the old back up and I lost my new clicked photos...please help me how can I get back those photos?

    You were already provided the answer. If you do not have a backup of the phone while the photos were on the phone, they are gone. When you restore your phone from an old backup, anything that has been saved to the phone since that backup is deleted. Sorry.

  • I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID

    I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID?
    The apple ID was his personal account and can no longer gain access. Im sure I can get purchase recipts from the accounting department if needed. I tried to put the Ipad in restore mode and used itunes to "recover" the ipad but it still wont let me in because he registered the device with the "lost iphone" feature or whatever that is.

    Activation Lock in iOS 7  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • I just plugged my iphone in to download some pix to my computer and my phone is now showing a plug with the itunes icon and its telling me I have to restore my phone and will lose all my data. *** is going on and how can I go back?

    i just plugged my iphone in to download some pix to my computer and my phone is now showing a plug with the itunes icon and its telling me I have to restore my phone and will lose all my data. *** is going on and how can I go back?

    "I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
    Correct.  it does not magially appear in other places.  It will only be where you put it.
    "I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. "
    Correct as well.  Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

  • How to get back software I lost with Belle update?

    I had the following games installed on my N8 when there was this "Summer Game Gifts" campaign:
    - Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. HD+
    - Angry Birds Seasons
    - The Settlers
    - Angry Birds Rio
    - Monopoly Classic HD
    - Worms HD
    - GT Racing HD+
    - Tetris HD
    - Guitar Rock Tour 2 HD
    They are all, besides of almost every other program/app I had installed, lost with the Belle update. Only Tetris is still on my mobile, maybe I had installed it accidentally on C: and not like all the other games on E:
    All the games don't appear in my Nokia Store history ... but one game "Brain+" appears in my history but costs now 90c, I downloaded it for free like two months ago.
    Why isn't the update making a backup of ALL applications if also applications on E: are deleted during the update process?
    And my prime question: How can I get back all this games?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

     There is a FAQ by Nokia regarding the Belle update and more specifically what apps are not yet compatible.
    http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/nokia-belle-update/nokia-belle-update-faq?intc=ncompromolp-fw-...
     So far, the Belle update seems to be the most problematic update yet and given the time it's taken them to release the update since they announced it back in August 2011, you'd have thought it would have been a lot better than this.
    All the best.
    Ray.

  • I lost my iphone, got a new sim card and put it in my boyfriend's old iphone. When I synch it in itunes it will only synch with his stuff and not mine. Any ideas how I can get it to synch with my itunes??

    I lost my iphone, got a new sim card and put it in my boyfriend's old iphone. When I synch it in itunes it will only synch with his stuff and not mine. Any ideas how I can get it to synch with my itunes??

    Are you using a Mac? It sounds like you are using his computer to sync to. If this is the case, then it will sync to all of his stuff unless a new user is created with your personal stuff on it.
    When you want to sync your iPhone to that computer, switch to your user first, and then everything will sync with your stuff. If he wants to hook up his iPhone to sync it, then he needs to switch back to his own username first.

  • How can I restore my ical calendars with TM

    Hello everybody,
    how can I restore my ical calendars with TM.
    Where are the calender files ical uses.
    Thanks for answering
    Bernhard

    They are in yourusername/Library/Calendars/. Each one is named with its unique ID, so you'll have to go into each one and Quicklook the Info.plist file. Towards the end of the file it will have a Key of Title and the name of the calendar. If you want to restore the whole calendar, restore the individual calendar folder. You can also restore individual events by digging into the Calendar (again, use Quicklook to view). Quicklook can be used while in Time Machine.
    Or, you can restore all calendars by restoring the Calendars folder.
