My grandson attempted to download my music only from iTunes on an old computer I gave him. Now I have all of his contacts, texts, photos and apps.
How can I get my contacts and photos etc back?

Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

    I downloaded two movies from itunes at the same time (both free digital copies from a dvd) and when they finished downloading... they disappeared. I've not been able to re-download them or find them.. anywhere. Any suggestions for tracking them down?

    If you downloaded them on your computer's iTunes then they should have gone into the Movies part of your iTunes library, if on a device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then into the Videos app - they haven't appeared there ?
    If you downloaded on your PC and they don't show in the Movies section then you could try searching for them by name (or part of their name) via windows explorer and see if that finds them. Or if you downloaded them on a device and they aren't in the Videos app then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them, and if not can you find them via the device's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ?

  • I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation that I have not updated since purchase.  I have downloaded music from iTunes from an old computer that I can no longer access, and my "old" music in not currently on my new computer.  Will I lose my music if I update?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation and have not updated the software since I purchased it.  When I first purchased the iPod Touch, I synced it with an old computer and an older version of iTunes.  I no longer have access to the old computer and no access to the older music I downloaded onto the old computer.  If I update the software for my iPod, will I lose all of my music that is currently on the iPod?

    Since your updating from iOS 4 to iOS 6, you will most likely lose your songs, but if songs were purchased from iTunes, you can try this:
    Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    You can redownload from iTunes on your iTouch, if running iOS 5 or better.

  • So I recently downloaded iTunes on a new computer because my old computer got broken. Does iTunes still have all the info I had on iTunes on the old computer on it that I could somehow download onto my phone?

    I had iTunes downloaded on my last computer and it broke. The last time I synced my phone was on that computer. But it broke, so I got a new one and I re-downloaded iTunes onto it and I have no idea if I can get any of the info that was on my old computer. Today, I had to reset my phone so I lost all of my data. Does iTunes save that info or since I got a new computer, does that mean I can't sync anything that was on my old computer into my phone?

    Hi Victoria,
    You can re-download any iTunes purchases by going into the iTunes Store and clicking on "Purchased" under the Quick Links section on the right. Once you get into the Purchased section you can then click on each tab (Music, Apps, etc.) and then click on the cloud next to the item you want to re-download, or click on download all at the bottom.
    You would also be able to recover whatever you have on your iCloud backup to your phone, if you have iCloud. You will need to make sure that if you do recover items from iCloud that you have iTunes set up so that it knows you are syncing those things from iCloud and not iTunes, or they will be wiped when you do sync.
    If you recover photos from your photo stream that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll so that they will back up to iPhoto when you sync.
    However, this is all you can put back into your iTunes on your new computer. Anything you did not back up that is not in one of the categories above is still on your old computer.....and that is the only place it is.

  • How do I move music to iTunes from an old computer to a new one?

    how do i import all my music from my old computer to my new one? I just loaded iTunes but can't get it to recognize all the music in my folder. It wants me to load songs one at a time and I am NOT going to do that with 44 GB of music.

    These are two possible approaches that should work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where your computer has died with no backup then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • HT1386 how can I transfer iphone 4 from the itunes on the old computer to the itunes on the new laptop without losing existing APPS,pics, music,...?

    go to your music folder on the old.  copy your music folder.  on the new computer.  move that folder and replace the music folder thats on the new computer.  you have not added anything to the new comp right ?  then open itunes.  it will update your library to all those files and then run a backup.. hope that helps

  • How do i fix the fact that my daughter synced her iphone to my account now I have all of her conacts and most of mine on my phone. my contacts are a mess along with favorites

    my daughter synced her 3g in my account accidentally now since ive synced my iphone 4, her contacts and mine are combined and my contacts are a mess . example, my favorites have a few names and numbers but some are gone completely, and in contacts some are gone completely too. VERY Frustrated please help if you can. I use windows xp

    I updated to iOS 5.0.1 days ago and didn't receive that notification until just now...
    This time I synced new photos I took yesterday, and it gave me the:
    "iTunes Sync: 54 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"
    Perhaps it kicks off when new items get synced.
    I've decided to rent a movie yesterday. Once it gets deleted, I'm curious to see if it jumps to 55 items.

  • HT4527 I would like to transfer music from iTunes on the same computer (two different users). Can I do that with home sharing? If so, how?

    I see many discussion about transferring between two different computers but not one with just one computer. My husband and I use one Macbook, have two iTunes accounts and want to share some recently imported music.

    many thanks.
    Actually, Home Sharing should work in your situation, because iTunes for Mac supports Fast User Switching. (You're better off in this regard than us over here on the iTunes for Windows side.)
    The basic trick is that iTunes has to be open in both user accounts at once. Set Home Sharing up in your husband's account. Now switch over to your account, launch iTunes and set up home sharing there. You should be able to see his library now. Transferring from his library is now as per the standard instructions for Home Sharing transfers.

    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
