HT203167 where do I find my music I purchased from iTunes to re-download it after an update to my phone erased it all?

I updated my iPhone 4 and everything returned except for my iTunes.....all my music I purchased was erased! How or where do I log into iTunes to see my purchases to re-download the music?

Did you fail to backup your music?

  • I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks

    Many thanks JEM24 for your help.  Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone  the actual cost of each additional  gigabyte of storage  to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

  • HT203167 I just updated my Iphone, but have lost all my musics I purchased from itunes.

    I just updated my iphone, but have lost all my musics I purchased from itunes.

    Depending on which country that you are in you might be able to re-download it for free : re-downloading. Otherwise, have you not got a copy of them on your computer and/or on a backup that you can use to re-sync them to the iPhone ?

  • HT1473 How can I transfer my music (not purchased from Itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes library on a Macbook Pro?

    I've recently bought a new Macbook Pro and in my Itunes Library everything I have purchased from Itunes is in my new Itunes Library.
    However I want to transfer all my music (not purchased from itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes Library.... and I have absoutely no idea how to do this? Also I'm scared to press sync when my ipad is plugged into my Mac incase will loose all this music!
    Help Please!

    The iphone/ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone/ipad/ipod.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

  • Itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.

    itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.
    can anyone help?

    Do you see your iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window in the source list when it's connect to your Mac?
    BTW...  you sync iTunes media from the tabs in the iTunes menu, not from the File menu unless you are transferring iTunes purchases from the iPod to your Mac.
    Might need to zoom to see this graphic. I have "Music" selected as an example.

  • HT201269 I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die.  If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud.

    I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die.  If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud. I have music that was legally purchased and loaded to my iTunes account from cd's that I no longer own.  I need a new laptop and am deciding between the iPad and the Mac book.  I use the computer for music, photos, and web - nothing else and nothing fancy.  I don't know that there is a way to save my huge music library without saving it to an external hard drive and then loading it to a new one (does the iPad have a port to plug an external hard drive into?)

    First, you would need to make a backup of the entire iTunes folder on the PC. You could get music to the iPad if the PC was still functioning, or you would have to move the music to another computer. An iPad is not a laptop, and does not have a port to plug an external drive into. You can sync music to the iPad from the computer, but you are correct, unless you get iTunes Match, you would need a computer to copy the music to and then sync to an iPad.

  • My hard drive crashed.  How do I get the music I purchased from itunes back?

    My hard  drive crashed.  How do I get the music I purchased from Itunes back?

    Thanks Roaminggnome,
    I just spoke with a friend who like you is into Apple and he just walked me through the Cloud.  At least I was able to get those songs back. 
    Thanks.
    Do you know --- the last time I tried to back up my itunes it asked for 106 cd's do you how to direct the backup to the external drive?   By the way I found 3 back up cds from 2010 and 1 of the 3 cd's had an error.
    Sincerely,

  • HT201272 Will Apple give me all the music I purchased from iTunes for my new computer?

    My computer crashed so I bought a new one but my entire music library is gone. And to make matters worse it didn't back up on my external hard drive so I would like to get all the music I purchased from iTunes back on to my new computer. My only thought is I am at the mercy of Apple to get it...am I right? Thank you

    Whether or not you'll be able to depends on what country you're in, and whether the music is still available in the iTunes Store.

  • How can I get music (not purchased from iTunes) and photos from my iPad onto my MacBook?

    I just recently had my hard drive replaced and lost all of my music and photos from it. I have all of my music and photos backed up onto my iPad and iPhone via iCloud.
    I was able to download all of my purchased music from iTunes, back onto my MacBook. The problem is, how do I get the other music and photos from my iPad, back onto my MacBook?

    Is there any possible way to backup music that I did not purchase from iTunes on to iCloud?
    No.
    ... if I happened to break my iPad, or if something happened to my Laptop.
    If you like your music library, back up your laptop.
    If you lose or break your iPad, you can sync your iTunes music library to a brand new one. You will lose nothing.
    If you lose your laptop, or it crashes, or becomes virus-infested, you can restore your iTunes music library from your backup. You will lose nothing. Without a backup though, your music resides only on the iPad, and extracting it will require the assistance of third party (paid) utilities. Worse, there is no guarantee they will continue to function after some future iOS upgrade, since the iPad is not designed to work that way.
    There are dozens of questions every day from people who lost their iTunes music when their laptop crashed. Your laptop will crash - it's only a question of when.

  • Music not purchased from iTunes will not play on iPhone after iOS5 update

    Music that I have purchased from iTunes syncs perfectly to the iPhone (3GS) but the music from my library that was not purchased from iTunes (burned from a CD) will show up in the iPhone music list but does not have any artwork nor will it play that music!  Currently my solution has been to delete the defunct music from the iPhone and recopy it from iTunes.  The music will then play but the artwork is missing.  This is a rather irritating problem.  Is anyone else having this issue?  If so, any are any other solutions?  Thanks!

    I have just noticed that I am missing songs since I upgraded to iOS5.  In some cases the art work is there and the length of the song is there but it will not play.  I'm going to try and resync when I get home.  I'll have to check to see if the songs still exist in my iTunes???  Nothing is ever easy is it??

  • How can I can ringtones and music I purchased from itune back on my iPhone5,please help

    how can I get back music and ringtones I purchased from itune back on my iPhone 5

    What you can try to do is install an extension such as Ad-Block Plus, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus], which will block many different forms of advertising.
    Also, update your Firefox to version 12, and update your plugins to make sure you stay on top of security threats :) [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
    If that fails to work, there is a possibility you might be infected with viruses, try Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
    Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]
    Download and Install Microsoft Security Essentials [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials] (not an official endorsement, but I personally recommend MSE as an awesome permanent anti-virus)

  • Burning a DVD with m4v music videos purchased from iTunes

    Instead of buying Apple TV, I would like to burn a DVD with my collection of music videos purchased on iTunes. Most of them are Protected MPEG-4 video files, having the extension .m4v
    My question what I need to do to burn a DVD with these files, without loosing the quality and maintaining the video's aspect ratio? I don't mind to upgrade my iDVD programme to the version of 2008 and QuickTime to the version of Pro, if that will help to resolve my problem. Currently iDVD 6 does not support the protected m4v files, hence I can't burn them into a DVD for watching on TV screen. Your advice is highly appreciated.

    This is from the Terms of Service page for iTunes. The bottom line is that you can't burn the videos to DVD.

  • How can I get all of my music onto my iphone 5 from itunes on my computer, when it is only syncing the music i purchased from itunes store directly?

    Everything was fine until I got a USB drive from a friend to download a new album onto my itunes from her.  I struggled to get the music synced onto my iphone 5, but it got into itunes fine on my laptop.  So I ended up resyncing the whole device, and apparently this means it only could transfer the songs that I had bought from itunes, and none of the previous music I had from cds, etc that I had added to itunes by myself over the years.  Now on itunes it has a cautin sign for every single non itunes purchased song saying it does not know where to find the song and can not play it.  My iphone now only has 43 songs (the ones I bought from itunes store) and is missing the other 2000 I have.  Does anyone know how to fix this for me???? I am desperate!  I'm using windows 8 on this new laptop and am beyond confused!
    Also it might be important to note that I had itunes on an older laptop and within the past year i have transfered everything to a new laptop, so perhaps since the original music folders were on the old laptop, it cant find them? I don't know, I am not great with technology, but desperate please!!!

    Copy everything form your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.

  • How can i sync music not purchased from itunes from my iphone to itunes library on my pc?

    Hi
    I have quite a lot of music on my phone that I've ripped from cds that I have. How can I get these to sync into my itunes library on my pc? I want to upgrade to the new os but will lose a lot of my music if i do.
    Any help appreciated
    Nachan

    If after researching the info in the other comments you still find that there is music that you would loose on the iPhone, there are 3rd party apps that can manage iPhone content without erasing the iPhone. Just search for a Windows alternative to iTunes.
    This one is popular for both Mac & PC;
