HT2905 How to restore music to itunes after purchasing album and update itunes to newest version

Okay last night I bought the Carter IV and I had problems with my gift card. So eventually I updated my itunes to the most current for my windows 7. Now the issue is I have no music accept the purchased album, and in my "music folder" in Previous Itunes Libraries I dont see the thousands of songs and videos I had on itunes! so If anybody can help it would be most appreciated.

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.
This assumes that you are currently connected to the library file in the main iTunes folder, if you've somehow managed to connect to an alternate file then hold down shift as you start iTunes so that you get options to "Choose or create a library", then choose the library file in question.
There should shouldn't be a Music folder in Previous iTunes Libraries which makes me suspect you've picked the wrong file at some point, where it happens to be, rather than restoring it as outlined above.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

    Just updated to the newest version of iTunes, when connecting it prompts me to update my iPhone to the newest version of IOS; however, when I hit download it says I have purchases that need to sync but where and how do I do this on the newest version? It isn't doing it automatically and I am unable to find the sync button that was available on previous versions of iTunes. I would hate to think that I'm going to lose the many purchases that I've made, someone please help!

  • How to restore music on computer after new hard drive installed?

    had new hard drive installed and am not able to retrieve/find music that was backed up on my computer before new hard drive was installed.  Only music that was in the "cloud" was able to be retrieved. Any idea where it could be?
    Thanks!

    Did you reinstalled iTunes ? It looks like you had a newer version of iTunes with the corresponding database, and now your iTunes seem to be an older version. If you are a little patient, you might easily fix this with iTunes 10.5 which should come out very very soon since iOS 5 has been annonced for tomorrow.

  • HT201272 I lost all my files after dowloading Icloud and updating Itunes on 24 September 13.  having reloaded the computer and and files from an Emergency Backup folder I can no longer see My Library in Itunes or in Itunes store, and my ipod and ipad aren

    can anyone help with retrieving My Library in Itunes and Itunes store - having updated Itunes and Icloud on 24 September 13, my computer failed and I lost all my files which were eventually backed up to an Emergency Backup.  my computer is now working again and I have down loaded Itunes and transferred all the files from my Emergency Backup.  Non of the music went back into Itunes, so I had to find these files and manually moved them to Itunes.  The music is now in Itunes, but I no longer have the folder named My Library, which I think is the reason my Ipad, ipod no longer sync any additional music I have added to Itunes. Does anyone know how to rectify this please.
    Many thanks.  Crusey

    iTunes expects files and folders to be in very specific locations.  When you start iTunes it looks for a file called library.itl which is in the iTunes folder.  It then uses all the references in that file which tell it where all your media files are located to build up the view you normally see.  Probably you moved the library file so iTunes cannot find it and it will make a default one which is empty.  When you plug in your iPod it isn't recognizing the library since it is not the same one to which you synced last.
    Simply put, you need to undo all your file moves.  Not as eaily done as stated but since I cannot quite see from here exactly what you spent an hour doing last night it will be up to you.  Did you make a backup before doing all this?

  • How to recover music from shuffle after couputer fails and is replaced

    How do you recover the music on the shuffle after computer has failed and been replaced?

    Open the Trash.  Select all the music files, then use the pull down action menu (the one with the gear) and select "Put back".  That will get the files back to your iTunes Media folder.
    To get them back to your music library, use the iTunes File menu > Add to library and select your user account/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music folder.  That will add anything not aready in your iTunes library.

  • How to restore a previous session after firefox closed and cleared browsing history, is still any chance to get it back there?

    Accidentally shut down the pc and firefox did not come back with option restore previous session at the first screen even in History-Restory previous session is Grey. My settings are clean history after firefox is closed.
    Is there any change to get back on my Tabs from previous session even the history browsing was cleaned? I would appreciate your help!

    In general FireFox will behave in 1 of 3 ways when restarted after a shutdown.
    1. Kill Shutdown
    This happens when the FireFox process is terminated with a TerminateProcess() call or if the FireFox process crashes. It is a dirty exit, no clean-up is done. When restarted after this FireFox will show a "Well this is embarrassing" dialog with options to restore selected parts of the previous session.
    2. Force Shutdown
    This happens when another process asks FireFox to shutdown cleanly (such as a PC restart) by a call to ExitProcessEx() and does not ask the user for confirmation. Normally, when this type of shutdown occurs, Firefox will just restore all tabs and sessions without asking. However if Firefox is set to automatically delete history on shutdown, it can't. I suspect this is your situation. I would suggest to the FF team that deleting history should be skipped in this case, only a user shutdown should delete history.
    3. User shutdown.
    This is when the user tells Firefox to close down (by selecting Exit or closing all tabs etc..). Confirmation is asked to close all tabs (if enabled and more than 1 tab is open). On restart, nothing is restored.
    Unfortunately, if you have auto clear history enabled, there's no way to recover the previous session. Sorry.

  • My new Nanno 7 is not recognized by itunes. Removed, reinstalled and updated itunes. Iphone 5s and ipad 3 sync w/o problems. Itunes diagnostics says it isn't recognized by itunes. I'd really like to get some music on it.

    My brand new nano 7 is not recognized by iTunes. I ran diagnostics and it stated under "Device Sync Test" that "no device found". My iPhone 5s and ipad 3 all sync without issue.  The online chat with Apple didn't work either.  I have uninstalled, reinstalled iTunes and have the latest update.  Any suggestions?

    Hi, bbarden.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

    After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
    There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the

    I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
