HT204406 I have lost all my previously uploaded music. iTunes match appears to be stuck on gathering information. please help!!!

I have seen very posts about this and have tried turnming on and off the Match feature. Please help!

This may happen, if you unplug your USB cable before, the iPod has finalised writing the filesystem, so although the songs are there, it is not in the corrupted filesystem, which if you are lucky, may be fix using chkdsk(windows), or DiskUtility-> FirstAid-> Repair.
Anyway for future, if you cant wait to disconnect the iPod, try a HardReset,
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

I have lost all my contacts after changing my icloud account name ...... please help

can anybody please help ?? i have lost all my contacts after changing my i cloud name, i had to delete the old one and now i have lost all contacts ???

Well there is a warning. However it is designed that your computer is the MAIN place for your contacts. The concept of syncing is that the phone gets "copies" of your real data (your phone is not the primary source, your computer is).
So if your computers address book you sync with has no contacts, then it will erase contacts on your phone because you have no contacts (dumb yes, but that is how it goes).
It warns when there will be major changes to your primary contacts (your address book on computer).
Now if you had at least 1 contact on your computer, it would of "merged" them (thus bringing over what is on the phone and bringing that one over to the phone).
The assumption is when you opt to sync contacts, that you have contacts on the computer you are syncing with and thus your primary place for contacts you maintain.

I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music

I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music.
Although i signed in with my iTunes account, i can see only 5 apps (that i downloaded in the last 2-3 days), although on my iPad and iPhone i have more than 100 apps.
If i connect my devices to iTunes, the syncronisation will be made the other way, from iTunes to iPhone/iPad, so i will lose everything.
1. How can i restore these apps from the iCloud back-ups from my devices to my iTunes? Or any other method possible?
2. If you can also give me a suggestion about how to find my music playlists, that would save me from a lot of useless work on creating them again.
Thank you!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
In the unlikely event that all the media has been inexplicably and permanently removed from your computer, see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I have upgraded iphone ios 3.1 to ios 5.1 and have lost all my contacts and can not find them on my pc. Can anyone pleeeeese help me

If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

I have lost all my contacts and music, how do I get it back?

Hey there Shomail,
It sounds like you are wanting to copy your content from your iPad to your computer. You can trasnfer your iTunes purchases from the device to the computer with the following article:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
To transfer iTunes Store purchases from your device to a computer, follow these steps:
Connect your device to the computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following dialog may appear:
Click the Transfer Purchases button.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content will be replaced with whatever existing content is in the current iTunes library your device is connected to. If there is no content in the iTunes library, nothing will be synced to your device, and your device will be empty.
Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library. Please see this article for more details.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Since Yosemite upgrade I have lost all my previous gmail email. All settings seem to be as was so am at a loss, anyone any ideas. Thanks.

I installed Yosemite a few days ago and just found that all my previous emails on gmail are gone. Have no idea why and looking at all my settings all is as was. My other accounts are good.
Anyone any ideas.
Thank you to those who respond.

Further to the above I did delete all the content of the "Archive File" in mail after the Yosemite upgrade due to a lot of rubbish being in there that should not have been so decided to begin anew. I now wonder whether all my past gmail items were in there as well. If so how can I retrieve it via Time Machine.

I have lost all my previous purchases and can't remember earlier account id

I recently bought a moved and changed my email address. When attempting to load old iTune purchases onto a new computer, I deleted. I cannot remember my old email address to capture all my previous purchases. Any idea how to get old Apple ID? We are talking a lot of music not to mention $$.

If you're able to find even one of the songs, you can get info on the song (Select the song, and go to File-->Get info in iTunes) and it will tell you the email address it's associated with.
You may be able to recover the songs from your iPod. A software that may help with that is Senuti. You can google search for it and use that to help you out.
You might also want to check your trash can to make sure they aren't still there.
Lastly, if you still have access to your PC you can try to get a song or songs from there.
Finally, make sure you're doing regular backups so this kind of thing doesn't happen. All it takes is a external mac hard drive, turning on Time Machine, and choosing that drive to back up to.

I have lost all my ringtones, and music...HELP ME!

I recently bought 4 songs, and 1 ringtone from the iTunes Store on my iPhone 3GS. I went to plug my iPhone in my computer so I can transfer my music from my iPhone to my computer. When none of my music files transfered I got a little worried so I looked on my phone under Sound and under Ringtone I didn't have any of my ringtones that I had bought, and I didn't have the 4 songs that I bought that night either. I have searched my phone, and I have turned it off and on, but still nothing. I have searched my computer but still nothing. I loged into my iTunes account and under Most Recent Purchase I go to Purchase History, and I can clearly see the 4 songs and 1 ringtone that have disappeared from my iPhone. I do not know how to get those ringtones back or the music back to my phone. Please help me!

I have lost all of my songs on itunes but there still on my ipod?

okayy..i dont know wat happened . I was on my computer earlier today listening to podcasts and a cd my friend gave me. Then my mum wanted onto my computer so i unplugged it(its a laptop by the way) and gave it to her...it ran out of battery and when i switched itunes back on all of my music had disappeared. Was this anything to do with the battery running out?
I clicked on transfer files when i plugged my iPod back in and since i have only bought 2 songs from itunes. Only two songs came up in my library. Now i still have 700 or something songs on my iPod nano(first edition) but only 2 songs on my iTunes.
Does anybody know how i can get the songs from my iPod onto my iTunes??
because its really bugging me
please help
if you want to reply to me by email..reply to [email protected]
thanks

The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

I am having a hard time with fcpx, it is running so slow. i upgraded my ram to 12 and have cleaned up my computer to run faster and have changed all my files to proxy files but it is still running SO slow. please help!

I am having a hard time with my fcp x running so slow. i can't even move my mouse without the time wheel coming on and staying up for at least 20 some seconds. I have upgraded my ram to 12 and changed all my files to proxy files; also i cleaned the crap out of my computer removing all other media files I didn't need and it is still running the same. Please help! I have a deadline on my short film to be submitted and I can't finish it like this. Oh also it ran fine in the beginning but and one day it just started doing this out of no where. Anything will help! Thanks

In addition have you got FileVault switched on as that will kill performance.

Upgraded to CS3 - Now I have LOST all My Previous Sequences

Upgraded from Premier CS2 to CS3 on PC
Previous edit job on CS2 had 10 sequences and hundreds of edits...but when I open job now in Cs3 after upgrading...I only have the Clip Bin and No Sequences and No edits on the timeline...
Hope its something simple...there are hundreds of edit points in those timeline sequences.
Am I missing something on how to have CS2 projects come over to CS3 accurately?
Suzzie

Hi Harm,
OOps... I wonder if anyone knows if I can also load in Premier CS2 after I have installed the Master Suite?
There are NO sequences even listed in my project bin...only the original clips...there were about 10 sequences.
Hope I dont have to unload 2 hours worth of install just to be able to reload in CS2.
Holding my breath!

HT1320 i have tried all of the above to reset my 30gb ipod but its still not working, please help

Hi, i have a ipod classic, it now wont turn on or do anything, i have charged it, toggled the HOLD button and tried all the suggested press and hold, but nothing. Ive tried conecting it to the computer via a USB cable again nothing, its not even showing on my Itunes account when thats turned on.
Any one got any ideas, TIM

Have you left the iPod to charge for a couple of hours and then tried resetting it again? It can take up to at least 30 minutes of charging before an iPod with a dead battery shows any signs of life. By a reset, I assume you mean pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
iPod won't turn on
