HT201272 Lost iPod, lost music. On my old computer I had almost 16 gigs of music on iTunes some of which was purchased and most of which was put on there from my CD collection or from CDs borrowed from friends.
On my old computer I had almost 16 gigs of music in iTunes, some of which was purchased and most of which was put on there from my CD collection and from CDs borrowed from friends. When I got a new computer, only about half of that music, including all music purchased, wound up in iTunes. I didn't worry about this as all 16 gigs were still on my iPod. Then I lost my iPod and about 8 gigs of music.Because it was there in iTunes on my old computer, I assume it still exists somewhere. I would like to retrieve it somehow. Can anyone help me do that?
Unless you had subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded that music to it then no, it won't be stored anywhere. You haven't got it on a backup e.g. an external drive ?

i lost my music when my old computer crashed and when i got my new computer it erased all my music from itunes and my iphone 4... Please help!!!
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

You can still use iTunes to transfer and manage your recorded audio.

So my iPhone was stolen and most of the music on there was on a computer that I don't have anymore. Is it possible to get those songs back from my stolen phone or are they gone?
For iTunes purchased music you might be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then unless you had subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded it to it from your computer then no, it won't be stored anywhere

How are you trying to delete the music direct on your iPhone?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Or maybe:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I am from Brazil, and i have an iphone 5. Since it was purchased the 3G/4G data signal doesn't work. I made contact with people in Apple from Brazil and they told me I had to ask for your support to unlock the 3G/4G data signal. How do I have to proceed to unlock this feature in my iphone?
I would appreciate if you can help me.
Thanks!Greetings alex.bonifacio! I'm very sorry that you're having connection problems with your iPhone 5. While would love to help in any way I can, the device must at least be on an active line of service with Verizon Wireless in order for me to be able to make any changes. I must therefore urge you to contact your local wireless carrier for your equipment options. Good luck and thanks!
