HT1391 My pc crashed and when I accessed my ITUNES account from another pc, none of the songs I had bought are anywhere to be seen. How do I get them back?
The computer/pc which stored all the songs I had bought from the ITUNE store some, crashed a few years back.
Since then, I only accessed my ITUNES account sporadically and, and however hard I tried, I have not managed to find the way which will help me retrieve my song list. How do I get my songs to show again on my ITUNES account?
The iTunes account is nothing more than the users login details, payment information, and purchase history.
Media is only where the user put it.
Copy the media from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.
There is absolutely no logical reason why anyone would expect that media would magically appear on a new computer simply because they signed in with their Apple ID.

You can transfer iTunes purchases to your "new" computer by

I downloaded movies onto my iPad to watch when I was abroad, I synchronised with my laptop and now they are not on my iPad how can I get them back?
If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app. Look there and see if they are still there.
If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows. If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again. Make sure you transfer purchases first. Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced. -
I have purchased songs from itunes on my ipad but now they are not there anymore. How can they get them back? Dont come up in songs not on this ipad and in itunes it asks to buy again
If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option -
Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?
I need to check a few other things...
Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
Click Preferences
Click the 'Accounts' tab
Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.

Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud? -
I accidentally restored my iPhone 5c and some apps are in "waiting" mode. How do I get them back?
I accidentally restored my iPhone 5c and some apps are in "waiting" mode. How do I get them back?
Hey Tfromon,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you have an app that seems to be stuck on “Waiting," and the following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue and may help you as well:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

My computer has been stolen and I don't have af back-up, and all my pitures are on my apple TV - how can I get them back to my new PC?

You can't unless (assuming you have the Apple TV 1) you remove the drive and connect it to a computer. -
TS1702 Lost pages and numbers when I had to restore to factory setting. How do I get them back?
I had to update to IOS 6. In the process it crashed and I had to restore my iPad to factory settings. I've lost Pages and Numbers. They are not listed in the App Store as previously downloaded. How can I get them back without paying for them again?
i would contact expresslane.apple.com
select itunes>itunes store>downloading content
let them know what's going on
sometimes they allow a re-grant for a previous download
because of copyright laws, these programs usually only have 1 download per purchase -
I just updated my iPod touch and all my pictures are gone!!! How do I get them back? Please help!!!
I just updated my iPod touch 4th generation to iOS 6.0.1 and all my pictures are gone!!! Everything else is there but my pictures! How do I get them back? Please help!!!
If the photos were i your iPod's Camera Roll album (taken by or saved to the iPod you can:
- If your PhotoStream is on you can get the last 30 days worth back. See that topic here:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Or you can restore from backup if you backed up when the photos were on the iPod.
If the photos were synced to the iPod then you have to get them from where you got them the first time. -
I have the latest version of iPhoto and somehow I have lost the ability to use the Apple iPhoto templates for emailing photos. I select my photos, go to Share, go to email, and the templates used to pop up. Now the photos go directly to email. Does anyone know how I can get the templates back?
I encountered the same issue after an upgrade of iPhoto, and it was resolved by clicking on the "iPhoto" button on the menu on the top left of your screen, then "preferences", and in the very first window (General), select the very last pull-down menu "email photos using".
There, you can select various email providers, aol (if set-up), Microsoft outlook, etc... and of course, iPhoto (which should be the very first choice on the pull-down menu).
Select iPhoto, and you will immediately be able to use the templates and make cool cards when emailing your photos from iPhoto.
I hope this helps if your question has not yet been answered. -
I have a new Iphone 5 that I am trying to sync with my existing itunes account. I need to get this to sync to a different computer, than what I originally set it up on.

Hey Mike, just sign in the iTunes Store and authorize your account on this machine (don't worry, you'll be asked for it), then you will ready to use it.

Why did I loose my contacts when I updated by iphone with 5.0?
A number of reasons can be addressed. Did you sync your contacts over to the supported application on the computer, or into iCloud? If so, then just sync them back.
Not all contact information is includded in the backup. If you have iCloud turned on, then turn it off and back on again. See if that helps. -
hiu i have an ipod which shares same itunes/icloud account as my iphone. i deleted the contacts off ipod and they have now gone off my phone too. anyone help, how can iget these back on my phone?
When you share an iCloud account between devices, any action you take on one device (such as deleting contacts) is synced to the others. (That's want iCloud does; syncs data across devices, keeping the data on the devices the same.)
The only way to recover them now is to try restoring your device to your last backup, or restore them from another backup source. -
My laptop was stolen and all my photo albums are on my iphone. How can I get them back on my laptop?
iv tried plugging into laptop and going to my computer then iphone but it only brings up photos taken on the phone. Any help would be great.
The iPhone will temporarily store items in iCloud as a backup, but only those photos taken with the phone.Even then there are limitations. iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
iOS5: iCloud: Backup and restore overview - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859 - "The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:
* Music, movies and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store
* Podcasts and audio books
* Photos that were originally synced from your computer"
It is assumed you maintain a backup of your computer on a hard drive somewhere should you need to recover items you kept on the computer and transferred to the phone.
