HT201272 No music on my iphone5 and itunes library

All my music got lost after updating and restoring my iphone5 recently and there were no music on my itunes music library as well. Any Solutions to solve this Please ASAP?

Ah, this just happened to me when I moved some files around. What you have to do is delete the songs from your iTunes, then go into Store and click on "Purchased" in the home page (near links for Account and Support) and select "Not on this computer". Then it should give you a link to download them again. 
When you delete the song from iTunes it will say that you can only play it from the cloud. That's fine.
Sometimes it takes a few minutes, or you have to go back to the store home page and follow the Purchased link before it recognizes that the files are not on your computer.

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

    i have one imac. my wife and i each have our own user accounts and itunes library.  How do we share selected music between user accounts?

    To give other users read-only access to your library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.

  • .xml file and iTunes library files are missing from the music folder

    I recently made a second itunes library on my external hd, today when I open itunes and choose this library, the .xml file and itunes music file are invisible or translucent, therefore I can't open my library. But when I go to my music folder they are missing. Another odd thing is that all my music is still in the folder. Is there a way to re-open my library w/o re-importing all my music? Can I some how get a new itunes library file?

    This is not an answer but I have the same problem. From time to time I clone my music drive to an external drive for back up. When I do, I burn a copy of the album artwork folder, iTunes Music folder, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music Libraru.xml, and iTunes Library file to CDRW. This is so I can copy them into the music folder in my user home drive of my laptop then hook up the external and have access my library. Trouble is the .xml file and iTunes library files don't always show up when I go to the iTunes folder in my Music folder. There either is a blank where they should be or the names appear with no icon and when I click to select, that dissappers too. I thought I had a solve by exiting iTunes and letting it save everything. It seems to bring the .xml file back but not the itunes Library file. Any thoughts?

  • HT4889 How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

    How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

    If the Migration Assistant won't do it, move them over as you would any other folder; they're located in the Pictures and Music folders of your home folder by default. The iPhoto library needs to be transferred via a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended or through an AFP network share.

  • How to limit the music downloaded from a large iTunes library loading on iPad to minimize space usage?

    I'm having trouble with my iPad 2 iTunes  Match loading all of the music from my very large iTunes library off my Pc to my iPad.  I really only want a few playlists.  Do I have to delete all of the music off my iPad that I don't want?  Will it remove those songs from my main library if I'm connected to iCloud and music match?  Help!

    Move the itunes Library.itl file to your exHD.
    Then to get itunes to start using it from that new location, press *and hold* the shift key while starting itunes. Choose "use existing library" and browse out to the ITL file that is now on the exHD.
    Future app downloads will go to the Mobile Applications folder created there. It will also start downloading the itunes store artwork to the exHD.
    You can try downloading a free app to test it.

You know, I don't know much of computers and of technology but when I bought that ipod back when  they came out 2005 I was able to download music from my CDs and from Youtube to itunes then transfer to my ipod and back and forth to itunes .  Then if I had changed of computer I was able to transfer to that new computer.Why I'm not able to do it ? There is a program(Sharepod) that allow to do that but it cost $35.00 but I thought that was free or it is because that now I have to buy from itunes only?

    I have a different problem, perhaps someone can help.
    My friends music library is on a hard drive, I can move songs to my library, they play fine on my computer.....However, when I try to move them to my i-phone, they turn to a light grey color and will not play on my phone.  They also have a circle with dots in front of the song.
    Some security limitation apparently, just trying to over-ride.
    Song format is .m4a

  • ITunes does not show any of the music we have in f:\iTunes library.

    Our PC running Vista froze up so we upgraded to Windows 7. iTunes does not show any of the music we have in f:\iTunes library. How do I access my music?

    Use the command File > Add Folder to Library, and point it to the folder(s) where the music is.

  • HT1451 Music has completely disappeared from ITunes library! Please Help!!

    Music has completely disappeared from ITunes library! Please Help!!
    Hours and Hours of renaming, adding cover photos and so on have been for nothing. Itunes cannot find the files since they're not in the library at all!
    I still have the music on my computer but don't want to add it as it is, as I have spent a lot of time "fixing" it! PLEASE HELP!

    Did you use spotlight to search? (I'm assuming you have a Mac as given above despite this thread being in the Windows forum). How long have you used iTunes on this computer? Is there a backup to your library, perhaps an only copy of it on a machine you've "retired". Is the media present in the media folder? (Yes, you've answered that earlier.) If so then the media files should have absorbed all the tag changes that you made and reimporting the media into a new library might not be a complete disaster, though playlists, playcounts, ratings etc. would be irretrievably lost.
