HT203167 my songs i bought are gone!

a week ago i bought about 15 songs on my ipad, then i downloaded the songs on my ipad to my computer so that i could transfer them onto my ipod as well. about a week later i made a playlist on my computer and when i plugged my ipod into the computer to download the playlist, they were gone. also after plugging my ipod into the computer, i realized that it did not turn on, and probably broke from water damage because i ran with it in the rain. would my ipod being broken, have anything to do with the songs being missing? theyre missing on my ipad as well. is theyre any way i can retrieve the missing songs? or be redeemed?

my itunes will not open now

go don't connect your ipod until you go into itunes
and make sure to set it up to where it won't
automatically sync up the ipod with your itunes
library, as it WILL delete your music
if you want to transfer that music back onto your
system, go to google, do a search for "need to
transfer music from my ipod to my computer"
but how do i go into itunes and set it to where it wont automatically sync my ipod eith my library

Just logged on, all of my songs and playlists are gone

Hi, Just logged onto my account through the browser and all of my songs and playlists are gone. Even further, there's a recently played artists who I definitely did not listen to. Assuming that someone hacked my account, I changed my password. But when I looked in "Recover Playlists" there were none of my missing playlists to recover. What is happening to my account? I pay for this application. I had a dozen playlists and thousands of songs that took months to put together. Please help me recover my missing playlists and songs! Thanks,Phoenix

The songs I bought are not in the file of the songs I bought.

I bought more or less 80 songs but now in the file where are the songs I bought there are only 18 songs (the latest I bought) and the songs I bought before these I can't download them. The first problem I had was that there were all the songs in the iTunes that I bought but there were twice, so I deleted one of the both, and now these songs I deleted are not in the file of the songs I bought. How can I repair that? I'm really nervous.

Sign out of the iTunes Store, Sign in again. You should be able to download your past purchases from iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer. Alternatively look in the recycle bin for the files that have been deleted, then drag & drop these into ..\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes.

Howdy Terry,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Not being able to find purchased content can be frustrating, but the information in the article below can resolve most issues like this by helping to find the missing content or download it again.

The songs I bought are not complete songs. Can I redownload?

I bought an album. The songs are incomplete, about a minute in length only. How can I redownload them?

If the problem persists after redownloading contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Error when downloading songs, now they are gone.

I purchased Godspeed You! Black Emperor's "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven", and got an error about disk space after a few minutes. I noticed my C disk barely had any space on it (I really shouldn't let my sister use my computer), so I cleaned it up a bit. When I tried to resume the downloads, nothing happened. One of them had a little pause button, which I pressed, the status bar finished downloading, but the song was still in the "Downloading list", and when that was done, I couldn't resume anything.
I decided to restart the program just in case, but when I opened it again, the songs weren't even in my Purchased list!
I am fully aware of the fact that you yourself need to ensure that your songs are backed up and all that, but if I'm being charged for this, I'm gonna be pretty ******, it's not my fault that the program screws something up.

Right, I checked, and it downloaded. Thanks.
The problem NOW though, is that it only downloaded three of the four songs on the album, and the fourth song is nowhere to be found. And since all the songs are album only, I can't buy them sepperately.

Why do the songs I bought are incomplete?

I downloaded them but when i try to play them, they cut at the 10th second and the next song starts to play

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

What happens if you restart iTunes?
Look in the Recently Added playlist. What happens if in the Get Info window you add the lettter (any letter actually) "X" to the end of the artist name, then remove it?
Right click on a problem file in the Recently Added playlist and then Show In Playlist > Music Do you see it?
Delete the files from iTunes but do not let iTunes move them to the trash. Now go to where they are located in Finder and add them again. Does that work?
If you don't see it in Recently Added, make a new playlist window and drag the files from where iTunes put them to an empty playlist. Do they show?
Please post a response. I make various suggstions here at least once a day in response to this issue and I have no idea if they work for people.

HT201272 need to download ipod to itunes - new computer all my songs on comp are gone

new computer - trying to load songs from Ipod shuffle to Itunes

Same thing happened to me. No assistance from apple. They leave everything up to the people who bought their stuff! Thank you!

I have an issue with my iPod touch gen. 5 connecting to my iTunes. iTunes says my device has an error, but it does not specify the error and I can't do nothing. I was transferring more music and editing my playlists. My songs and movies are gone.

What can I do to solve an issue with my iPod touch gen. 5 32 gb on connecting to iTunes on my computer? iTunes says there is an error with my iPod touch, which this was a result of deleting my songs and videos. I was only transferring more songs, videos and editing my playlists. I don't have that much of the songs left. What is the best solution?

And what is the wording of the error message?

Sample versions of songs I bought are in my library

Bought a full album and somehow, every other track is the 90 second sample from the store. I right clicked, and delete wasn't an option.
How can I remove this crap to enjoy my album?

If the file is still in the original location, and if its tag data has not been changed since it was originally added, and if there has been no change to the "copy files..." setting, then iTunes will recognize it as a duplicate and will not create a new library entry.
Try it on a few folders so you can see how it behaves before you do thousands.

Hello..please help... I updated my 3gs and thought I had backed up, but i didn't...now all of my songs and apps are gone. Is there any way to retrieve this??

hello...i updated my 3gs and didnt back up my songs and apps...is there any way to retrieve them?

Itunes content is not included in the backup that itunes makes when syncing.
You should always make sure that you have transferred all of your purchased itunes content to your computer before any update.
If you failed to do this, then you can redownload as expalined in the previous post.

Photos,songs and docs. are gone

Ok, I'm a newbie to apple so I'm not that familiar with the terminology. I did rename a directory (I guess it was the home one). Now everything is missing. I did find these directions but I don't understand exactly what they're saying. Home directory, short name, affected user account. Please can someone maybe explain it a little better? Thanks
Before you assume that the home directory contents were actually lost, check the /Users folder to see if the missing home directory is present and simply renamed.
If you determine that the home directory is present but renamed, follow these steps:
In the Finder, go to the /Users folder.
Locate the new home directory, which bears the users' short name.
Add "_new" to the new home directory's name.
Rename the old home directory to the user's correct short name.
Log out and back in with the affected user account.

Double-click Macintosh HD. Then double-click the Users folder. See your old home folder?See the new home folder?
Add _new to the end of the new home folder name and change the old home folder name to what it used to be.
Can't remember? That'll be the same as the account username you first created when you got the Mac, in lower case and with no spaces. Often this is the person's real name, e.g. johnsmith.
Once renaming is complete restart the Mac whilst waving a rubber chicken.

ITunes songs are gone/uploading question

Today I turned on my computer and all of a sudden all of the songs on iTunes are gone...
my question is, if I connect my iPod to the computer will all my songs disappear?and can I upload new music on my iPod without any songs being erased from my iPod?
thanks to whoever can help

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If iPod is set to automatically update, then a message like this will appear...
If you click Yes, all of your songs will be deleted off of the iPod. If you click No, they will not.
You can use something like YamiPod (as previously mentioned) to get the music off of your iPod.
But before you do any of that, make sure all of your music isn't still on your computer. Go to My Documents-->My Music-->iTunes-->iTunes Music. Do you see music files/artist folders with music in them there?
Try searching your computer for a song file. Did you find any?
