HT203167 I had over 80 gigs of music on my ITunes - most of which is my own music some has disappeared and many duplications now present - what is going on
1. Albums disappleared - songs gone
2. duplicates all over the place not necessarily repeats or difference performances of which there are some
3. Luckily for me I have all my music on an external drive so as far as I am concerned it is not lost - however
how did this mess arise and how is this mess recitfied
4. Some of what has disappeared is music which has never been published - who chose and why to delete this
If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to copy iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

I have over 16,000 songs in my iTunes library so I manually manage the music on all my devices. I bought a new iPod to replace an older one. I'd like to transfer all 900 songs to my new device without having to handpick each song from my music library. Is there a way to do it?
No. I have quite a few more 16,000, so I don't manually manage. Making playlists for each device makes things much easier to organize. You can create regular lists of essential tracks and smart playlists to automatically catch new content, top rated, most played etc. If you'd done it this way all along configuring a new or restored device would be the work of moments.

I reorganised my music organisation totally in iTunes on my Mac (Lion). iTunes does not sync this new artist organisation to the iPod and many albums are divided over several artists. How can I change this?
I've called the Apple helpline. The only way to organise music on the iPod classic, is to use playlists. They themselves can be organised in playlist folders.

I have an iTunes account with my own music library. My wife wants to have her own music library. Is there a way to set up a sub account for her, or do I have to set up a set of husband playlists and a set of wife playlists?
Sorry, but that's not possible.

I have just updated my phone in icloud and I have lost all my data including my large music collection from itunes. How can I recover my music and phone list?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen. -
Upgraded my phone to iphone 6 from iphone 4. My iTunes with all my music is on a computer that no longer works and can't access the music. Will iTunes Match allow me to get my music off of my iphone 4 and put it on my iphone 6? Sorry about copying twice, new to this.
Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

I have updated to IOS 7.1 my music has disappeared and my boyfriend has put his iPod music onto my iPod those also were gone I'd like to know how to get it back if there is anything you can tell me to get my music to pop back up that would be great.
You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library. If you sync with another iTunes library/computer the media from the iPod will be deleted and replaced with the media on the second computer.
If you want to change syncing computers then:

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear…) and so on. I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay to my Ipad. My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library? I`d appreciate any help. Alex.
My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library?
On the iPad you can stream videos, photos, or music from the Video, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps to an Apple TV OR just stream music to an AirPort Express Base Station. -

I just installed an update on my iPhone and since then the choice to repeat music, or not, has disappeared and it automatically plays songs and albums on a loop. Anyone know how to make it play an album or song just once?
Basics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.
Have you tried each of these? -
I am using Mavericks. In Mail I had a list of VIPS and used it extensively. Now it has disappeared and VIPs on the menu bar is faded. There is nil response to VIP in help. Can you tell me what has happened?
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/VIPSenders.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?
If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above. -
I originally had over 900 unread emails on my ipad because I had been using my PC for all emails for quite some time. Meantime, because the two are synced, over 900 had been accruing on my ipad. I managed to delete and send to trash all but the 574. These 574 are showing in my inbox, but when I go to the inbox, there is no mail. How do I remedy this problem?
No I copied someone elses post to see if someone could explain which registry keys they copied because mimicking it might fix my problem. I am desperate to fix the problem to get my backup going.The person does not detail which keys. If it were me I would
elaborate so someone else who sees the post might have a better chance of fixing their issue.
Unfortunately I cannot find the original software or would have attempted a reinstall by now.
This was handed off to me by someone who is no longer working for the campany so the only information I have is what i can figure out. -

All the music in itunes has a little footprint beside it. My old phone - 3GS has all my music there and playing fine. But if I try to synch with itunes it says it will synch from itunes to iphone and so am worried I will lose all my music from iphone too. New iphone has synched fine in every other way - contacts apps etc. But no music! I would be grateful if anyone has any tips to get my music back into itunes. - I had previously backed it all up on a mobile hard drive but can't find the option to import all my music from there ..it was a while ago so won't be evverything. None of my music is bought via itunes. It's all just my old CDs - still catching up! Thanks in anticipation of your help. N
Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?
