How to recover music from shuffle after couputer fails and is replaced

How do you recover the music on the shuffle after computer has failed and been replaced?

Open the Trash. Select all the music files, then use the pull down action menu (the one with the gear) and select "Put back". That will get the files back to your iTunes Media folder.
To get them back to your music library, use the iTunes File menu > Add to library and select your user account/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music folder. That will add anything not aready in your iTunes library.

How do i recover music from old computer. its broken and i did not have the music backed up on any other hard drive.

how do i recover music from old computer. its broken and i did not have the music backed up on any other hard drive.

OK, well, seems like you need to lose the attitude if you really want help.
There are several ways to get music from iTunes on your computer to your device.
The easiest is to sync directly with iTunes by connecting your device to your computer, selecting the device, setting up your Profile pages, and then clicking the Sync button to sync.
First you want to open iTunes and under Preferences>Devices, make sure that you are not syncing automatically:
Make sure that box is checked.
Then follow the instructions in the article below for either your computer or your Mac to set up your Profile pages and to sync your music via iTunes:
WINDOWS IOS SYNC ITUNES 11
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
You can also directly download music from iTunes to your device by going to the iTunes icon, going to "Purchased", and selecting the items that are not on your device that show a little cloud next to them. Click on the cloud and the music will download.
You might also want to familiarize yourself with your iPhone 5 manual. It has all the answers you cannot find on Google or by trying to just do it by brute force. If you would take a little time to read about your device and how to use it, you might not be so frustruated and unnecessarily snarky to people who are trying to help:

Recovering music from Ipod after hard drive failure.

My hard drive failed and was replaced. I had most of my music backed up, but not all of it. Can I recover songs from my Ipod and put them pack into Itunes? Can I also recover playlist? I did not have those backed up.
Thanks,
Mike

SImpler solution, if your not too comfortable using terminal, Is to simlply download the trail version of Music Rescue.

The trails free forever, it just has an annoying popup every 50 songs you take off your ipod, it works exactly like a reverse iTunes.

#1: Hundreds of non-itunes songs no longer play on laptop or iPod Touch! #2: How to recover music from a broken laptop to put it on my new one?

Old problem that has never been figured out: I had hundreds of songs on my old laptop before itunes, some of them downloads from years ago and some of them ripped from CDs. After getting an ipod touch a few years ago, I put all 900 and some of the old songs plus new ones purchased from itunes on the ipod and played them for a long time (year or 2 probably?). Now, all of the sudden the non-itunes songs are grey on my computer AND ipod, and I am not able to click on them or play them. Why is this?
New problem that I will be severely p1ssed off about if it can't be resolved: Previously mentioned laptop with all of the music on it stopped working, so I purchased a new laptop and now, the only songs that show up in my newly downloaded itunes are the purchased ones. No music from old downloads, no music from CD's, and no playlists created on my old computer. Only a list of the songs that I purchased directly from itunes. I no longer have all the CD's that funded my 950+ song collection and have no way of getting that music (or the downloaded music) back if I can't access the broken laptop. What do I do now?!

Laptop crashed and how to transfer music from ipod back to laptop and won't transfer new purchases to ipod?

My laptop crashed about 2 days ago. I got it fixed and had to reinstall it. I had to reinstall itunes all over again. How do I transfer all my songs from my ipod including the ones that were from hardcopies and by hardcopies I mean cds I bought in real life and is on a disc. All of the songs are still on my ipod so how do I upload all of the songs and videos (purchases, music/songs from hardcopies/cds uploaded not bought from itunes, etc...?) How would I upload all of that back to itunes on my laptop? Another question is for some reason when I hook up my ipod to my laptop, I recently bought 23 songs about a day ago and it won't upload those purchases to my ipod, is it because I have all the hardcopies and downloads on my ipod that the itunes library doesnt have? Also, how would I sync my newest purchases to my ipod efficiently without deleting any of the hardcopies I uploaded before my laptop crashed?

phonefans is a spammer, ignore his posts.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

? How to recover APPS from iTunes after system crash

I think we need a sticky for this.
Is there a tutorial or instructions to recover ALL your iPhone/iPod Touch apps from your PC or iTunes after a system crash and iTunes is no longer accessible even after uninstall and reinstallation? I heard one can call Apple Support and have them do a one time reset but for people like me who have more than one iTunes account that may be a problem since it would require several accounts.

Ok....i have some good news, I believe. Using King_Penguin's link and Apple's KB seems to have worked. I tried this under another windows profile on the same machine. The TRICK is to hold down CTRL W when opening up iTunes. This will prompt you to tell iTunes where the library is. The key is to copy everything from your My MUSIC\ITUNES folder. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
What is throwing me off is there is another option to, "Create LIBRARY". Not sure how that works. But the instructions are here: When you need to restore your backed up iTunes Library from your external hard drive to your computer, follow these steps:
1.Quit iTunes.
2.Locate your external hard drive.
Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
Windows: In My Computer
3.Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista or Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\

How to recover music from iPod hard drive??

I've got an 80GB iPod, not sure of generation it's from 2006. A few months ago I had an issue when playing in my truck and the accessory I was using burned a hole in the lower left corner of the face of the iPod. After this happened, I was able to listen to the music still on the ipod through my headphones however I couldn't charge it and my computer wouldn't recognize it. So I couldn't transfer anything onto my computer. Luckily I backed up about 80% of my music, but there is still alot missing. I have tried to transfer the hard drive over to another iPod, from 2005, and when I turn on the iPod it displays "Connect to iTunes to restore" or something along those lines. When I connect to iTunes, it displays "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode-Use iTunes to restore". I don't get the option to back up files when I click on restore. I'm not sure what to do at this point, I'm hesitant to restore because I know I'll lose all of my music. If anyone can help, that would be fantastic!

You could have a look at this application: TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions.

How to recover contacts from Iphone after reset without backup?

Hey guys.
Bad timing, bad luck and an annoying situation. My computer had a meltdown so all my data was wiped. Then my phone was on a continual boot logo with the apple screen. The computer is back, the iphone is back with new software. I have lost everything on the phone when it was reinstalling the software.
Is there a way of getting into the harddrive of the phone, getting the data (Really want contacts) and undeleting them? Hope it is possible but googling has left me with little hope
Cheers
Tom

I thought as much. I won't go into details but the hard drive with backup wasn't looked after by a friend and I haven't had time to buy another one yet. Such is life.
Dont even ask me why didn't I have backup of the hard drive or my head might explode!

HT2905 How to restore music to itunes after purchasing album and update itunes to newest version

Okay last night I bought the Carter IV and I had problems with my gift card. So eventually I updated my itunes to the most current for my windows 7. Now the issue is I have no music accept the purchased album, and in my "music folder" in Previous Itunes Libraries I dont see the thousands of songs and videos I had on itunes! so If anybody can help it would be most appreciated.

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. 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.
This assumes that you are currently connected to the library file in the main iTunes folder, if you've somehow managed to connect to an alternate file then hold down shift as you start iTunes so that you get options to "Choose or create a library", then choose the library file in question.
There should shouldn't be a Music folder in Previous iTunes Libraries which makes me suspect you've picked the wrong file at some point, where it happens to be, rather than restoring it as outlined above.
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!

How to sync music from old computer to new and add music

I can see all my music in the library, but since I got a new computer, can't add the new music I just bought and download to my shuffle.

Hi clcaldwell46,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have signed into your Apple ID and are seeing all of your purchases on your new Windows 8 computer. The reason you may not be able to sync is because although you can see the music and stream it, it may not actually be located locally on your computer. Please use the attached article as a reference and for steps to download all of your purchased music to your iTunes library.
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Download previous purchases on Mac or PC
Make sure your Mac or PC meets these system requirements:
iTunes 10.3 or later
You need iTunes 10.6 or later to download previously purchased movies and TV shows.
iTunes account in a country where iTunes in the Cloud is available
iTunes Store
     1. Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store.
     2. Click Purchased in the Quick Links section.
     3. Select the content type that you want to download (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books).
     4. Select Not in My Library to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
     5. Find the item that you want to download. You can browse using the menu to the left. If you have more than 2,000 songs, you will see Recent Purchases instead of All Songs or Albums.
     6. Click the Download icon next to the item you want to download.
If an item is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.
Have a great day,
Joe

How to recover data from hard drive of failed notebook

I have a broken F767NR laptop. Broke due to something other than the hard drive. What is the best method to extract the data from the notebook hard drive inside the laptop since the laptop won't turn on? Anyone with any specifics would be helpful!

http://cgi.ebay.com/2-5-HARD-DRIVE-SATA-EXTERNAL-ENCLOSURE-CASE-USB-2-0-New-/160526605521?pt=PCC_Dri...
Something like this would work. Pull out your hard drive and put it in the enclosure. Hook it up to a working computer and you should be able to see all your folders and files.

How to retrieve music from ipod without syncing it

So my computer was messed up and I'm missing a bunch of music so i was needing to get the music files back. I have them on my ipod but i cant view them in itunes unless i sync the ipod which would erase the songs not on the computer and defeat the purpose of what i'm trying to do. I have the 'manually manage music' option checked and when i open up my ipod file from my computer it doesn't have the music files only pictures and stuff. I know it's possible to get the music without erasing it but i forget how and its really annoying, so how would i do so?

Here is the way about how to recover music from iPod
Assuming you're using a Windows 7 or 8 computer here.
Go to the start menu > type in hidd > open 'Show Hidden Files and Folders' > check the circle in that says Show hidden files, folders, and drives. > Click apply.
Now plug your iPod in. Go to Computer > click on eg. 'Azrielrain's ipo (H:)' or whatever shows up that looks like that > iPod_Control > Music > The files underneath that.
Now in those files will be mp3 or mp3 variants of your music, they will NOT however have the original names given to them. You can copy the files to your desktop, or music folder. That is pretty much the closest you'll get to being able to salvage your music from your iPod. Or you can use Data Recovery to help you recover your iPod music.

How to recover music lost

i need to recover music i lost on my broken ipod

Hi, alejandrofromdallas
All music on your iPod should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Your iTunes library should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data. Data recovery is the only thing you need to do.
If no longer in your iTunes library, if imported from a music CD then get the music CDs back out to be re-imported by iTunes. If purchased from the iTunes store and no longer in your iTunes library and not included with your computer's backup, the music is lost and must be re-purchased with iTunes on your computer.
Try to find out how to recover music from iPod. That's not complicated.
