HT203167 how can i get my library back if computer crashed and no longer have iPod

I have lost my library due to a computer crash. I no longer have iPod. Please help me get my apps and music back to mew com
puter

As long as the apps (and the same applies to ibooks) are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free - and, depending on what country that you are in, you might also be able to re-download music and TV show purchases (and if you are in the US then some/all films) : re-downloading past purchases.

How can i get my bookmarks back, after mozilla crashed and got stuck in safe mode?

I was using mozilla as usual when suddenly it crashed and then my computer turned off. i restarted it and said it had gone into safe mode. i tried to restart the computer again but it was stuck on safe mode.
The bad part is that all my bookmarks are gone and apparently there is no way of getting them back.
please help!

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you don't have such a device there are links in the article that will show how to recover your purchases.
In addition, the laptop may have drowned but the hard drive is probably fine. You should be able to find someone who can extract the drive from the laptop and recover your personal data from it.

Transferring files over from the hard drive of a previous computer. How can I get my library back?

A couple weeks ago, my old, old laptop finally breathed its last breath and shut off suddenly while I was using it. Various parts of it were broken anyway so I got a new one rather than try to figure out what was wrong with it. All of my files were totally undamaged since it wasn't a hard drive issue, so I just got one of those enclosure things where you unscrew your old hard drive, stick it into the enclosure, plug it into your new computer with a USB cord, and then can drag all your old files onto the new computer.
I could get all my old music back this way by dragging those folders, but if I want to get my library back -- specifically, my playlists, and ideally my info on play counts/date added/etc -- is there a way that I can do that? Is there some "Library" file, series of files, or folder that I can drag onto my new laptop in order to get those things back without having to recreate all my playlists and lose my play info?
Have been running Windows 7 on both my old and current laptop, and was using iTunes version 10.7.0.21, if that information is necessary. Can give you whatever other info you'd need. Thanks!

1. By default, it will be in the same folder as the iTunes Music or iTunes Media folder. If you don't find it, search the computer for items with that name.
2. Wherever you want.

How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
(Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album. That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing. Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

Thanks for your replies ckuan
I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work. It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer. The folder structure is completely missing. I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better. Bye bye iTunes!!
Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler. Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler. Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure. OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files. No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted. iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library. Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...

I have lost my iTunes library. How can I get my library back?

My iTunes library was stored on an external hard drive. Given that the MTBF of these drives is probably measured in months, I realize this was a bad decision on my part; nonetheless, it happened. How to I get my library returned to me?

What happened? The drive failed? If you do not have the music backed up some where else, and the drive cannot be accessed there isn't anything for you to do. You'll simply have to re-download what purchased music is available from iTunes and/or re-rip any CDs.

Thanks for the help

Often when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it.

MY LAPTOP CRASHED BUT MY LIBRARY IS ON MY HOME PC HOW CAN I GET THE LIBRARY BACK TO MY LAPTOP WITHOUT ERASING THE SONGS I REPURCHASED

HOW CAN I MOVE LIBRARY FROM ONE PC TO MY LAPTOP WITHOUT ERASING REPURCHASED SONGS ON MY LAPTOP

I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks). Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window. I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box. When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window. It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

I bought a new laptop and my itunes have not downloaded to the laptop. How can I get my library back?

I bough a new laptop and my itunes have not dowloaded to the laptop. How do I fix this?

Your library will only be on your new computer's iTunes if you copy it to it.
If you still have your old computer then you can copy it from that : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Or from your backup of your downloads/library (File > Add To Library).
If you don't have your old computer or a backup then you might (depending upon the country that you are in and if they music is still in your country's store) tbe able to redownload some/all of your past putchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your laptop's iTunes

Doug ~ Did you backup your iPhoto library to an external media as described here?...

...or, since you're on OS X 10.5, have you been running Time Machine to backup your Mac?

How can I get my library back if the Originals folder is missing/deleted?

I updated from Leopard to Lion and so everything was deleted. Well I thought I backed everything up as I was supposed to, but apparently not. I copied the iPhoto library file to an external harddrive and some of the files from that library didn't/wouldn't go over. The computer gave me a message but I don't remember the specific words. So I did the Show Package Contents of each file, the original library and the one in my external harddrive, and selected all and moved everything to the library on the external harddrive. I didn't even think to specifically carry the Originals folder from the old library to the new one and I noticed yesterday after some issues with iPhoto telling me it needs to be upgraded but then crashes when I press update. Is there a way to restore the library, well at least the original file sizes of the pictures using the thumbnails or anything else from the library?

If you don't have the original files then I'm afriad you don't have anything to work with.

How can I get my library back into 7.1?

I've uninstalled 7.2 and re-installed 7.1 but it won't upload my library. It keeps telling me that it can't recognize the itl file and labels it as "damaged" and creates a new itl file with nothing in it.

I dragged the folder with all of my iTunes music into iTunes 7.1 and it copied, but I got an error saying that it can't be saved (-1450) I believe this is the same error I originally got when I upgraded to 7.2
Somebody please help!!
