How to reconnect to iTunes after computer crash
My computer crashed on 9-28, but repairman able to save my files & iTunes library...When I try to enter iTunes, I get message that I am not connected to Apple...
My question is, I have all my files, titles, etc. How do I reconnect to iTunes??
Need answer ASAP...
You will need other software to do this easily. Yamipod, Anapod maybe? Never used either and there are others.
It is also possible to do yourself with iPod in disk mode but you would have to figure out file structure and naming.

Lost all my music in itunes after computer crash
Lost all my music in itunes when computer crashed. itune store doesn't show all my purchases. How do I get all my music back?
Browse your iTunes folder. Do you have files in folder in your media folder? In other words, did you really lose the media or did iTunes just lose track of it?
Of course you have a backup you make of your computer before doing any major updates, right? -

My computer crashed back in Feb or March of this year and I just recently reinstalled itunes on it. Once reinstalled itunes updated software. Once this was all done I noticed that alot of songs on my IPod were no longer in itunes. Also, the folders in itunes no longer matched what are on my IPod. itunes says the computer is active for itunes and many songs on my IPod are on itunes but many are missing. How do I get itunes to just sync and match what is on my IPod to include all songs and folders. Many of the missing songs on my IPod and not in itunes are ones I purchased from itunes so they should have them. I am getting very discouraged with itunes. I tried to do a support call and pay the fee to have them call to address but I am stationed oversees and they would not accept my overseas number as valid.
Any help is greatly appreciated. As stated, I just want the music now on itunes to match with my IPod to include folders. Seems music got lost. Any suggestions how to back up the music so if this happens again I do not have this issue. I figured itunes would have my music or at a min just sync up what is on my IPod.
Thanks gunnerProbably a bit late to help in this thread, but the question is asked & answered frequently.
*Recover media from iPod*
See this post from Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7217190#7217190
Some of the tools linked to will only work if the iPod has a valid library. Others can scan the drive independently and some may even be able to rebuild a damaged library. The manual method towards the end should be able to recover your media regardless of the state of the library.

Hello Boogiec522,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you would like to download your iTunes Store purchases again to your desktop computer.
No worries there, you can re download them free of charge from the iTunes Store with this article:

You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library.

Restoring iTunes after computer crash
One day, I hooked my iPod up to my computer and it told me that a couple hundred songs were not authorized to play on this computer. Then it removed them from my iPod, but left them in iTunes. Those songs were every single purhcase I had ever made on iTunes.
Later that day, my computer started freaking out. I made a copy of that purchased music to CD, and a few minutes later, my computer crashed and burned.
After reinstalling Windows XP Professional, I imported the burned music into iTunes. However, when I hook up iPod to the computer, it tells me that iPod can only sync to one library at a time, and do I want it to erase everything on the iPod (all of my music that wasn't purchased at iTunes) and overwrite it with everything on my current library. I tell it no, because I don't want it to erase everything on the iPod.
So how do I get to it actually "sync" by adding what's on my iPod to my iTunes library, and what's in my iTunes library to my iPod, without having to erase everything on my iPod?

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. 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.

iGadget Windows Only

For more on the new function in iTunes 7 look under 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
"....without having to erase everything on my iPod?"
If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty 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
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. -
Scared to sync my iPhone with iTunes after computer crash
Hi - my computer crashed and I had to reinstall iTunes. I used a program and recovered all of my music and apps from my iPhone 4S and then added a few new music files. I'd like to sync my phone with iTunes to get these new music files on it (they are from a CD, not an iTunes purchase). I'm afraid that when I sync, it will erase all of my pictures since there aren't any pictures on iTunes. How can I be sure this won't happen? I want to use iTunes for syncing and back up but I'm scared to, because it might erase everything. I have already checked off the "do not automatically sync." But once I press that sync button, what might happen to my pictures?
Help and thanks!!!See:

Re-installing iTunes after computer crash and syncing Ipods
Our computer recently crashed, and needed to be completely wiped out and reset.... unfortunately our tech was unable to back-up our music files. I have all our music saved onto my iphone and an ipod nano....
So now that I had to re-install itunes, and each ipod can only be synced to one library, does this mean I have to erase all the songs on our ipods, and start from scratch??? Or is there a way around this?Restore the iTunes library from the backups you were keeping regularly of your computer.

How to access ipod music after computer crash?
Yes, we lost all stored info in our ipod library. (Thank God we backed up the checkbook and pix!) So, I reinstalled the software, and bought a new CD from itunes. My shuffle still has all my old music on it of course, and I can listen to it, but what I don't know is how to access it.
I want to add the new music to the shuffle without erasing everything already stored on it. When I insert the shuffle into the USB port a window pops up and asks:
"The ipod is synched with another library. Do I want to erase it and synch with the new one"
Isn't the shuffle like a memory stick? How do I access the music already stored on it?
Thanks
