If they were purchases from iTunes then have you checked to see if you can re-download them (it's not possible in all countries), assuming that they are still available in the store : re-downloading ? If you aren't in a country where you can re-download past music purchases and you haven't got a backup, then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • HT204406 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?

    Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

    No. The warranty does not cover damage.
    You can only get a replacement if you can talk Apple into selling you and out of warranty replacement.

  • Do I have to purchase another download of Lightroom if I have it on a computer that no longer works?

    I have no idea what I am doing. I purchased Lightroom for my old computer. It no longer works.  I have lost my information on that. I would like to use Lightroom on my new Mac computer. Do I have to purchase again? How do I get it on my new computer?

    Contact support to reset activations.

  • Does anyone have suggestions for a legitimate file extracting program? I need to get music off my old IPod (the ITunes it's on is on an old computer that no longer works) and onto my new computer so I can download it to my new IPod.

    Thank you!

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • HT1202 How do I added my music to another computer thats not my home computer???

    How do I added my music to another computer thats not my home computer???

    Are you wanting to add music to an iTunes library on another computer?  That shouldn't be a problem.  Just import it or rip the same way you would on your iTunes library on your home PC.
    Or are you wanting to extract content from the iPod into this new/different iTunes library?  If so, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 on different ways to extact the media on your iPod and back into iTunes.

  • How can I merge itunes accounts due to one being on a computer that no longer works?

    I have an account on an old computer that no longer works although we do have it backed up.  My other problem is that the original account is on the computer that does not work and is linked to an email address that was hijacked.  I can not get into that email account and therefor I can not change the email account that the original account is linked with.  My iphone was linked to this account and now I can not download apps because it says there was a problem with the payment source on a prior app.  I can't even figure out what the problem would have been because I can not access the old email account.

    Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

  • I have a 2010 Cadillac CTS that no longer works w/my iPhone 4 after iOS7 Upgrade.

    I have a 2010 Cadillac CTS that no longer works w/my iPhone 4 after iOS7 Upgrade.  Any suggestions?  It worked well before the upgrade.

    I'm sorry...my question was imprecise.  When I said 'no longer works' I was referring to plugging the device into the USB and power jacks in the center console and then being able to play music through the radio and control the device from either the radio or the steering wheel buttons.  The iPhone 4 I use for this purpose has no cellular service and has never been paired with the car.  I have an iPhone 5 with cellular service that is paired with the car.  I cannot test theiPhone 5 with the car because of the difference of connectors on the phone.   :-(  The iPhone 4, however, works fine in my wife's Hyundai Santa Fe.
    Thanks, in advance!

  • I work for the County and we purchased a copy of Adobe Photoshop CS2 long ago.  The person that did the order is no longer here.  All I have is the CD Disk that is new but i did not know the key code is.  Is there a way to get the keycode for this?

    It would not work anyway. The activation servers have been retired and Adobe has provided a new CS2 download along with a new serial number for CS2 owners.

  • I had my computer worked on and did not back up my itunes library.  how do i put the songs on my ipod back to the itunes library

    I had my computer worked on and did not back up my itunes library.  Now the only music I have is on my ipod.  How would I put the music on my ipod back into my itunes music library?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You should always maintain a backup copy.  This is very important.

  • HT201210 When iOS 6.0 updating my iPhone and connecting my iPhone to iTunes the only option I have, is to restore my iPhone. But ufortunately, I did not back up my iPhone before the updating. Is there any way I can avoid the restoring process? Rikke

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...
