How to use/access my previous itunes library in itunes.

I accidently deleted all my songs then emptied trash (i am on a mac, and i sick of window users solving their problems) and now i have 1/90th of my songs (i have around 2,500 songs. I still have my video, but i want my songs back. There is the previous library i had before the upgrade to 7.6, that is very recent. I've tried to downgrade (7.5) then import my previous itunes library, but that wont work. CAN SOMEBODY RUNNING MAC PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET MY PREVIOUS ITUNES LIBRARY BACK INTO MY CURRENT ITUNES LIBRARY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Locate the iTunes folder from the user profile on the rescued drive, typically at X:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes. Delete the "empty" iTunes library from your current User's Music folder and copy in the originial library in its place.

    I have just purchased an iPhone5 and created a new user instead of using my iPhone3 ID. How can I access my previous data?

    don't just sign out!
    if you simply sign out, the stuff you recently purchased will be an issue in the future when an update comes out for apps or anything else. restore the device as new from itunes then restore from a back if you have one as stated above...or set up as new and use correct apple id. this will ensure you will be using the apple id that you used originally without issues from the new one.

    At this point you have the option of keeping a device optimized version (lower resolution version) of your photo on your phone while iCloud stores a full resolution version.  Or keeping the full resolution version on both your phone and the iCloud. If you delete the photo on your phone it will be deleted on the iCloud. I know, bummer. Also it should be noted that the photos app and the library are still in beta and to this point i see why.  I would use dropbox or a smiliar app for off device storage.
    So far this is how it has been working/not working for me.  Whether or not I choose to keep originals or optimized on my phone it will only keep the originals and it has only been uploading lower resolution versions of my photos to the iCloud library.  Seems to be working in reverse.
    Again these are still in beta so i am hopeful that this will be fixed in the near future.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to use opus codec with pjsip library ?

    how to use opus codec with pjsip library ?

    Hi,
    The pageDef in app B must have an entry for the method in order to access it. Just adding the adfjar isn't enough.
    You need to go the bindings of the page in app B and add the method you want to access. Once the method is added you can access using the following code:
    BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
    OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("getWeatherbyCityName");
    Map map =operationBinding.getParamsMap();
    map.put("theCityName", "Tokyo");
    operationBinding.execute();
    This should work.
    Thanks,
    Siddharth.

  • How do i restore a previous version of an itunes backup?

    how do i restore a previous version of an itunes backup? my iphone backup was overwritten by a newer backup which i don't want. this is urgent because i have lost all my important notes and all my important contacts! i am using windows vista.
    thank you for your help, if i can solve this horrible problem!

    iTunes only keeps one normal backup per iOS device. As you've found out, its an incremental backup in that only data that has changed is actually backed up or overwritten. You can view available backups under iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Any backups listed that are time/date stamped are backups from restore points. These backups are not overwritten. Do you maintain a backup of your computer data? If so, you might be able to retrieve a prior iPhone backup from your computer backup.

  • After resetting Time Capsule, how do I access my previous backups?

    After re-setting Time Capsule, how do I access my previous backups?

    Access it to do what??
    You can migrate the data.. see Pondini instructions for migrate. (or from apple).
    His instructions are a little out of date.. but still more useful than the over generalised stuff Apple give you.
    http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
    OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks
    If you wanted to continue using the backup with TM.. no you cannot inherit a backup from a different machine.
    To simply access the backup .. then open the sparsebundle from finder or TM..
    See the instructions in Pondini.. Q15-17 here.

    If you want to do something else you need to tell us what it is??

    If you were using iCloud or MobileMe they should be in the Mail application on your Mac.

    how do i access movies I have downloaded from itunes and permanently erase them from my cloud?

    Hey okapi22,
    Thanks for the question. Assuming you are attempting to clear up iCloud storage, it's important to note that iTunes purchases do not count against this storage. For more information, see the following:
    Your iCloud storage is used for iCloud Backup, app data and documents stored in iCloud, and iCloud Mail (your @icloud.com email account).
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519
    Additionally, you are not able to delete purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, but you are able to hide them.  Take a look at the following article:

    Thanks,

    How can I re-download previously purchased songs from itunes?

    You only get one download.  It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
    UNLESS, you are in the U.S, then you can use the Beta version of icloud.  Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick links

    Have you restarted everything including your router?
    Don't suppose you've added any new security software or firewalls to the computer?

  • Why has this occurred The file "iTunes Library.itl" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged)".

    My itunes library suddenly that the file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged)”. I use an external hard drive for my Itunes.

    The library file appears to have been corrupted.  You say you use your external drive but is the whole library on it or only your media?  No matter, you will have to rebuild the library file:
