HT1711 I lost all of my iTunes library on my external HDD. All of my music is up on the cloud, how do I get it to my new external HDD?
My partner and I travel a lot in our motor home and don't always have access to the cloud, otherwise I wouldn't really care. However, we have over 200 movies purchased, as well as television shows that we watch while on the road. A note: I do have all of my music on my iPod Classic, is there a way to transfer it from her to my external HDD?
I don't know if it was coincidence, but it all happened when I did the iTunes Match...
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thinking that I was deleting it from my iPod, I have inadvertently deleted a lot of music from my iTunes library. I clicked for saving to file rather than sending to trash. How can I get it back into my library?
See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash or simply import the media folder back into the library. Restoring a recent backup of the .itl database will restore the original date added values, ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. that would otherwise be missing from the reimported media.

i have an iMac and iPhone 4s i also have ringtones as an app i am also an match user with the cloud how can i get a ringtone to appear in my library to use on my phone
Oh nice, there's a PassKeeper application for the iPhone and iPad. Simply install it and it should talk you through steps, otherwise their website is probably a great place to check.

i got a new phone after my last one got wet. All my stuff was backed up in the cloud. How do i get my pics back to my new fone?
When you say "backed up in the cloud" do you mean you backed up your old phone to iCloud, or do you mean photo stream?

When I sync my Ipad2 with my Imac, it does not sync all the photos. It seems to pick & choose what it wants to sync and also splits events. How can I set it to sync all photos so both libraries are the same?
Can't help you with the sync problem but the splitting of events was supposedly fixed with the iPhoto 9.1.3 updater.
This is from the download page:
This update fixes a problem that could cause some events merged in iPhoto to be split back into multiple events on iOS devices after being synced.
So update iPhoto to 9.1.3 and re-sync. If you already have updated to that version then I'm at a loss. -

Did you ever find out how to get all your music and stuff back?? -
I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously. My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes? Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.
You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

I had downloaded all of my itunes library to my iphone from my home computer, My home computer crashed and all my itunes library was lost but it is still on my iphone. Is there a way that I can take all the music on my iphone that is all of my music from my itunes from my old computer and download it to my new computer that I have another itunes on? I tried to sync the music on my iphone to my itunes and I could not figure out a way to sync the music without erasing all of the music on my iphone. Does anyone have any suggestions?
For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work -
HELP !My laptop is died Ive used recovery disc which restored it but ive lost my music but it isstil on my ipod how can i put it back in itunes library without syncing + losing it all?
Transfer iTunes' purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Tranfer other stuff by using the info in this previous discusssion.
Best iPod to PC
After you get the stuff in your iTunes library you may have to let iTunes erase the iPod and replace it s contents with what is now in your iTunes library. -
i synced my iphone 5 with my computer and save all the photos to my phone through itunes. i restored my mac and lost all my photos on the mac but i still have them on my phone. how do i get them on my new mac now?
how do i get them on my new mac now?
Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better. -
All of my iTunes library is greyed out on my IPod
Some time ago, I downloaded some songs and when I synced them to my iPod, they were greyed out and I couldn't play them on the iPod touch. ( I can still play them in my iTunes library on my computer. )
Today, I had to 'restore' my ipod, so all of my music was wiped. I synced my itunes library to my iPod, and all of the music is there, but it's greyed out and I can't play any of it. None of the 800 songs are able to be played.
I've tried resetting my iPod already and they are still greyed out. I don't think restoring it again will help, as that is what got me this problem.
what can I do?You should have de-authorized your mac before reformatting its hard disk.
Authorizing information is stored in a file on your hard disk and might get lost under certain circumstances like mainboard exchange, major hardware changes ... -
Ipod does not sinc with all of my Itunes library, only the first few albums. I recently changed my operating system to XP from Vista, which was a pain, and due to my fault had to reinstate most of my albums and all of the playlists. How do I get my Ipod to sinc fully when I access Itunes?
Recover media from iPod
See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.

My Itunes Library will not open at all. When I click on Itunes the icon spins and nothing will pull up.
Try resetting your device. Hold down the sleep and home keys, ignoring the red power down slider, and release the buttons when you see hte silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
You won't lose any data, it's juat the apple equivalent of 'control/alt/delete' and often clears up glitches
