After a forced restart, itunes lost all apps, music, and podcasts.

After I force started my pc while itunes was open, the next time I opened itunes it had started anew. All my music, apps, podcasts, and shows were gone. Is there any way to get my media back without importing and downloading everything I had?

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.
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!

All my music is nearly gone how do i get it back

You can either use the back up you keep or re-download it from the iTunes Store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.

All my music and podcasts synced through iTunes are scrambled up. The songs and podcasts start in the middle and skip around. It happends on 3 diffrent Windows computers with 2 diffrent iPhone 4's.

Anyone have any ideas or did my wife and myself just get defective phones?
Like I said all songs and podcasts start like 30 sec in them jump back to the intro then to the end then the middle. Its quite crazy.

IPhone library losing synced music/films/podcasts

This problem started a couple of days ago - not sure what triggered it initially, but it's really getting annoying now.
I have an iPhone 3G (16GB) synching to a DELL desktop PC running Vista. Both iPhone and Vista are fully updated.
The problem is that my iPhone Music library is showing no content (no music, films or podcasts). When I look under the settings tab, the iPhone says there are 0 songs synched, although there is only 288MB spare capacity - so I suspect that the files are still there. Also, when the iPhone is synched to iTunes, the indicator says i's pretty much full (ie 288MB spare).
To try to fix this, I reset my iPhone and restored it through iTunes. The music synched OK and everything was fine, but as soon as I synched again, the library emptied again (but as far as I can tell, the files were still on the iPhone).
Another rest fixed the problem, and then another sync resulted in the same problem.
Don't suppose anyone has any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Nick

On further investigation, the iPhone synchronises with no problems as long as I'm not trying to put anything new onto it (ie Podcasts).
As soon as a new song / film / podcast is synched, that's when the library blanks, and it takes a reset and restore in order to see the music again on the iPhone.

How do I split off my Ipad and Ipod from my wifes account that we have both used without loosing all my music, films and apps?

I currently have an Ipod Touch and Ipad 2 wi-fi that were linked to my wifes account on her computer, she has an Iphone 4, Ipad 2 wi-fi + 3G and an Ipod touch.
Over the years we have combined our joint music collections on to 1 itunes account - Silly Me! I now need to change the arrangement so that I am able to log in to my new Itunes account, using my own computer without loosing any of my music, films and apps etc. Anybody got any solutions as I have tried to back up, open a new account etc and then sync and GUESS WHAT? everything disappears. music, films, apps etc. PLEASE HELP

I'm afraid you can't do that on iOS devices. Any purchases that were done using the single account, in this case your wife's, can only be used if you continue to log in to the same iTunes account. If you now want to use your own separate account you will need to re-purchase any of the apps or media you want to use using your own separate account. Only iTunes on a computer can be authorized to use more than one account.
Most families use one account for purchases for the very reason that they want to collectively share all the apps and media purchases. It saves money by not having to make separate purchases of the same things for each account.
Hopefully, in the future, Apple will allow people to consolidate two or more accounts in to one so that purchases made on separate accounts will be able to be shared amongst those people.

I deleted all my music files and then emptied the trash.. I didn't know that I wouldn't be able to play those songs in iTunes anymore.

I deleted my music files and then emptied my trash bin and later realized that I can't play the songs in iTunes anymore if the files are delted. Is there anyway I can recover all the files?

1) If you bought them from Apple you canprobably download them again.
2) If you back up your computer as you should, they will be on the backup.
3) If you stop using your computer this instant (because as you use the computer it overwrites deleted files even if you have lots of space), buy recovery software ($100+), there is a chance you can recover some of them, though they may have lost filenames and will be in quite a mess.

All my music is randomly gone! WHY?!

Somehow all the music on my ipod was just randomly deleted. it's all gone i don't know how it happened or why. And on itunes when i connect my ipod it shows the names of the songs i used to have...but the file itself is not on the ipod...why is it still showing on itunes but if it's been deleted from the ipod. i'm so saaad, what the **** is going on?!

If it's still in the iTunes library, first confirm your sync characteristics and then do a sync.

I need to backup all the music on my nano - my library is a mess with all my kids music

I am sending in my 1st generation ipod nano for battery replacement. I need to back up all the music on my nano. My library is a huge mess with all of my kids music. How do I just get everything on my nano in a playlist without getting mixed in the library mess?

You will need to use a third-party program, you computer's iTunes can only copy iTunes purchases back (File > Transfer Purchases, File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). There are a number of programs listed half-way down this page which you could try : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

I moved my itunes library and now when I open itunes all my music lisitngs are gone

Help...I wanted the other account on my computer (pc) to be able to listen to my itunes library. I followed the instructions from Apple,
(I thought correctly) and when I open itunes on my account all the songs are gone. Its as if I never had an itunes libary. When I go to the other account on the computer and open itunes, there is an older version of the library w/ only some songs but when I click on a song, it says it cannot be located. Which is why I tried to move the library in the first place.

What process did you use for moving the library?
I have noticed iTunes on rare occasions loses files. Don't know why. Keep back ups. Before updating a backup run a script such as Dougscript List MIAs so you can make sure you aren't deleting your only copy should one get lost from your main drive.
You might want to note that it is a mistake giving away the CDs. When you no longer posess the CD you relinquish the right to keep a copy of the music. Also, as you are finding, you no longer have a backup source for the music.

All my music just is gone and i didnt delete them. so how do i get it all back

all my songs got deleted and i didnt delete them so how do i get them back without using my laptop to put them baack on my phone

Hmmm, you may regret not using your laptop (presumably to synch to iTunes ... that's very likely the simplest and fastest way).
Otherwise, assuming you do not have an iCloud backup, you'll just be able to retrieve your iTunes purchased songs. Open iTunes on your iPhone, go to "More" on the bottom right, then click "Purchased", and download your songs from there.

How can I delete or transfer some (not all) Albums, Music and pics in "Photo Library" NOT purchased in iStore from my iPhone to a computer, when the original computer that did the original iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?

The iPhone iOS 4 User Guide sees to indicate that the SYNCH function is all one way from computer to iPhone, unless it is for purchased items in iStore on the iPhone.
1. How can I delete some (not all) Albums and Music from my iPhone when the original computer that did the iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?
2. How can I transfer Albums and Music (not purchased from iStore on iPhone) from my iPhone to the new computer?
3. How can I delete some (not all) pictures in my iPhone "Photo Library" when the original computer that did the iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?
4. How can I transfer pictures in my iPhone "Photo Library" to the new computer?

Hi wjosten,
thanks for the "TouchCopy" software link. I have downloaded a demo copy and it will resolve my transfer of music from iPhone to the new computer. I can then delete any unwanted music on the new computer, then re-synch the updated music to iPhone.
I am not sure about the photos. On my iPhone, there are two photo "albums" - one called "camera roll" and the other called "photo library." TouchCopy finds the pictures in the "camera roll" DCIM folder, and I can copy them to the new computer etc.
However, TouchCopy does not seem to find the "Photo Library" folder. Any clues?

I have a new windows PC and when I registered my account with I Tunes only the recent music that I purchased off I Tunes was in my Library all the music that added to the library is missingÉ

I have a new PC running windows 8 and when I registered my new account with I Tunes only the recent music that I purchased off I Tunes populated in my music library. The other material that I imported into my library from CD is missing. I am missing several hundred recordings and want to know if it is possible to get them back without having to go back to my old PC and manually make out a missing catalogue of music and re-importing back into my new PCÉ

Your media is only where you put it.
Installing iTunes and signing into your iTunes account does not cause media to magically appear.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.
FYI, there is nothing to import and if you are smart and want to avoid duplicates you will NOT import anything.

After syncing iphone 4s all previous music gone

Hi - I recently uploaded some CDs to my itunes library and the synced my iphone 4s. Now, all the music that WAS in my library is gone from my computer and from my iphone. I searched my PC - none of them are there, not in the recycle bin either. And they are not in the cloud either. In fact there is not even a music folder in my icloud. This represent ALL of the music I had on my library since about 2007.
I have exhausted every search for help in Apple support and otherwise. Please help.
Note: I am not a novice with computers, but I admit that I find iTunes confusing.
Note: I also have an original apple TV, which still has most of the original music.
Thank you.

Me too. If I sync again, and during the sync, drag and drop an App over to the right, i.e. on the phone, it will appear on the phone correctly. This only works 1 at a time. I have 16 apps in "Waiting" mode.
Anyone?
