HT201302 My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos.  I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone.  How do I now download those photos to my new computer?

My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos.  I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone.  How do I now download those photos to my new computer.  Same thing with my iTunes music library.

Unfortunately, I did not have the photos stored seperately.  When I set up iTunes on the new computer, I clicked "sync photos" and it said it would sync to the photos in the my pictures folder on the computer.  This is a new computer, so the folder is empty.  I am hesitant to allow the sync, because I do not want to wipe those photos from my iPhone, and never see them again.  This is a terrible spot to be in. 
I have also lost my iTunes music library for the computer.  I subscribed to itunes Match, thinking it would upload my music from my phone to iCloud.  It only added 57 songs that I had purchased on the store previously.  None of the cd's I added where transferred.

  • Can I transfer music from my iPod touch that was originally burned from CD's or does it only transfer music purchased from Itunes?  My computer crashed and I lost all of my music?

    My computer crashed and I lost all of my music.  I have music still on my Ipod touch but a lot of it was originally burned from CD's onto my computer.  Is there any way to transfer this music back to a new computer or will I need to re-burn each individual CD again to get this onto the new computer?

  • My computer crashed and I lost all my tunes. I have them on my ipod but need to know how to get them back onto itunes

    my computer crashed and I lost all but 2 albums in itunes. Is there a way to get into my old libruary? I have my tunes on my ipod.

    Any music purchased through the iTunes store can be downloaded again for free as long as you are signed in with the Apple ID you used for the original purchase.  Any other music you had in iTunes should be easily accessible in your system back up or from the CDs you ripped from originally.

  • HT203167 My computer crashed and i lost all my Itunes media ?!

    Recently my computer crashed and I lost all my Itunes Media...I have absolutely no idea what I should do ?!
    Could somebody tell me what to do ?

    If you have a backup to an external hard disk, then install iTunes and place the backup of C:\users\????\Music\iTunes back into that folder. If you need to redownload old purchases, then go into iTunes and go store -> purchased -> download previous purchases and that will at least get you what you bought from Apple. If you could elaborate on what kind of crash, I might be able to recommend a few other things, but that would be less Apple support and more data recovery.

  • My computer crashed and I lost all my Itunes music...Need help!!!!

    My computer recently crashed, and I never backed up the music on disk, however I do still have the music on my Ipod, but can't transfer it into Itunes. I had copypod before which would've worked now, but I don't want to pay for another copy. Is there any free software out there which will let me copy the music into Itunes without a certain song limit or trial use?
    Thanks,

  • My computer crashed and i lost all my music is there any way to get it back

    how can i get the music i purchased off of itunes store back after my computer crashes?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy (not good), then you can transfer from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purcahses
    You buy one and only one download.  it is your responsibility to move copy/backup your purchases.

  • My computer crashed and I lost all of my I-tunes folder, how can I download my purchased items onto my new laptop

    When i went to the itunes store it was asking me to pay for it again, help please!!!

    When you buy items from iTunes, it's downloaded to your computer, yours to keep, and to make a backup of.
    I have some advice here that might help you recover your music.
    Recovery options:
    A: If Windows isn't booting:
    You need to boot the computer from a "recovery disk or USB" that has a operating system on it and a graphical user interface to transfer files from your boot drive to a external drive.
    I suggest using the Easy USB Installer to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a 2-4 GB USB key.
    http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
    or
    burn a ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 or PartedMagic to a cd-r with ImgBurn or Win 7 right click and burn
    You can use Disk Utility in OS X to select the ISO and burn to cd/dvd as well.
    Once you have it installed, consult this page for your BIOS boot key to hold to get into the BIOS.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
    Plug the USB into the back (if possible) of the computer, connect the external drive and enter the BIOS, set the USB (or CD) as first boot and SAVE.
    Boot off the USB/CD and "Try Ubuntu/Run from disk" DON'T INSTALL. (Parted Magic loads into RAM and ejects CD)
    Once in, go under the menu Places > Computer and transfer your files to the external drive just like you would in Windows, drag and drop.
    (If using Parted Magic double click on the Mount Drive left icon twice, use the two GUI windows to transfer files to external drive, unmount drives, log out/quit in the lower left corner menu option)
    B: If the computer hardware isn't working, but the drive might still work:
    You'll have to remove the power cord and manually extract the hard drive. This might result in some damage.
    There is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
    C: If your iTunes content is deleted...
    It might be recoverable if it hasn't been overwritten yet by fresh data. Undelete software works by reading the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, not what the OS says.
    You need to use undelete software pre-installed before the iTunes content was deleted, or while on a bootable cd/USB and a external drive to transfer the recovered files.
    You can also install undelete type software on a new machine and USE STEP B above to "undelete" the files and recover them directly to the new computer.
    You can't install undelete software or recover files to the same drive your attempting to recover from or it overwrites the deleted data.
    D: If the hard drive doesn't work and...
    The data isn't worth spending $2000-$3000 in a ATTEMPT at platter dissection recovery, then your finished
    If the data on the drive was encrypted, data recovery efforts may be futile, unless it's a encypted file and you transfer it successfuly and have the password to de-crypt it.
    E: If you have a "iDevice" with any content
    It can be synced back into iTunes, check at iLounge what third party software works reliably now and for your version.
    Once you log into your iTunes account, you can sync ONLY iTunes purchased content back from a iDevice
    Third party software can recover just about all the items on a iDevice, regardless of it's origin. (can't recommend such software here)
    F: If any of the above is too hard, or the data is of "critical importance"
    Then seek professional computer or forensic level recovery services.
    Get help from someone who has done this sort of thing repeatly and can almost guaranty 100% results.
    There is Linux software that can "rip" all data off a iOS device if that level of attention is needed, seek a professional service.
    Hope this helps in your data recovery efforts.
    Please, backup your data, it's the only thing us IT professionals can't recover.

  • HT203167 My computer crashed and I lost all downloads.  How do I recover them?

    My computer ceased functioning.  When I had it repaired and reinstalled iTunes, most of my music was gone as well as the movie Forks Over Knives that I just purchased.  How do I recover them?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • My computer crashed and i lost all of my movie and tv shows is there a way to get it all back if i do not have it backed up ?

      That's a good one.
    It is up to the end user to maintain backups of their media and other important data.
    If you have failed to do that, you may be out of luck.
    If you are in the US and all the media was purchased from iTunes, use iCloud to redownload the content.
    Downloading past purchases from iTunes store.
    Once they have been re-downloaded, MAKE A BACKUP!
