HT4527 My laptop hard drive crashed

My Laptop Hard Drive Crashed - I have over 800 songs imported from CD's. Don't believe HomeSharing was on. Cannot get to I-tunes on the laptop to turn on. Is there any way to get to this music without having to import every CD again.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?

  • My laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time.

    My Dell laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time. When I hit sync is says it will erase my phone and sync with the new computer which is blank. How do I get my phone to sync my contacts, pics, apps etc. over to my new hard drive without losing anything.

    Yes, so what's confusing... Did you not restore the backup of your data, contacts, pics, apps, music, etc. to the new hard drive after you replaced it or reformatted it or whatever you did? If so, then you can just sync your data back.
    If not, please try searching the forum. This has been addressed hundreds of times here.

  • My laptop hard drive crashed, used to have lion now it is back to snow leopard. how do i get it back to lion again?

    my laptop hard drive crashed, used to have lion now it is back to snow leopard. i lost all of my info, music, pictures, etc. how do i get it back to lion again? this is very frustrating because i paid $30 to download it and now i am unable to have it again.

    If your Mac is off then start up. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Option key until the Mac and Windows Disks show up. Then click on the Mac disk and the arrow below it. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.
    If you are in Windows then look for the Boot Camp icon on the taskbar. It will look like a gray box sitting on one corner. One of the options when you click it is to restart in Mac OS. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.

  • HT1473 My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes

    My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes?

    Thanks, but ringtones not purchased from iTunes, created them just before computer crashed.just before the next scheduled biweekly backup.
    I found and downloaded TouchCopy 12 for PC and was able to copy the ringtones from my iPhone to my Windows laptop very easily.  It also enables you to transfer photos, memos, voice messages, etc.

  • My laptop hard drive crashed..is there anyway to recover my purchased music in my library

    my laptop's hard drive crashed....was only 4 mons old...in for repairs ..but got a new laptop.  I lost everything in my ipod library..is there anyway to recover the music downloads?

    There is hope! Open iTunes and on the right side browser select the new "Purchased" tab.  There you will be able to enter your apple ID and download your purchased music from the cloud!  Hope this finds your well!

  • My Dell laptop hard drive crashed after using iCloud photo sharing

    Has anyone had PC problems after beginning to use iCloud? I seem to have problems with shared photos on iPhone & PC and with contacts for automobile Bluetooth.

    I solved my own question. So for anyone else who has this problem, here's what to do.
    1. Plug in your iPhone. Sync it with the computer.
    2. Click on your phone in the sidebar and click on your phone's music tab on the top right.
    3. Select that you'd like to sync music from this library.
    4. Select what you want to sync. Yes, it will delete the current music off of the phone but if you've imported that into your new library, then you'll just put it right back on. Your phone currently thinks it's supposed to sync with the hard drive that doesn't exist, so that's the problem.
    5. Press apply, then press sync (lower right).
    6. It should sync everything....I hope....That's what it looks like it's doing.
    7. Never accidentally unplug your phone during an update again.
    8. Hope to whatever god you pray to that your hard drive doesn't crash again.
    9. Enjoy your day

  • Hp laptop hard drive crash

    I have an hp I've used for years, but yesterday it suddenly crashed and will not restart. I can get to the bios but no further (nor can I boot from a system CD-ROM). Testing in bios reports hard drive failure. Is there anything I can try to do to recover, or am I out of luck for anything since my last hard drive backup (which was way too long ago apparentl)? I am definitely past warranty...

    You can try remving the drive and attaching it to a usb to SATA adapter to see if data can be seen and recovered by hooking to another computer. Unless the hard drive is clicking or otherwise mechanically or electrically impaired (will not spin up) you can usually recover some or all data even off a hard drive that will not boot. Post back if you need any more help. 

  • Rescue and Recovery - How do I restore data to another comptr since my laptop hard drive crashed???

    My T60P 8744-C9U hard drive died.  Test: BIOS encounters read errors when doing a  test - WinXP boot cd cannot find C drive.
    But fortunately I did frequent backups to a USB external drive .... hum.....
    So - HOW DO I RESTORE THE DATA FROM THE USB EXTERNAL DRIVE THAT WAS CREATED WITH R&R onto my other computer so I can work - a desktop - Quad XP 64 - not a Lenovo product !!!

    You're not going to be able to do a complete restoration onto a totally different computer, but you should be able to connect your external drive to the desktop and retrieve specific files and folders.
    The only way to do a complete restoration is to get a new drive for the T60, download R&R and restore from the backup, unless you burned recovery discs, then you could restore from those and then use the backup.

  • Old computer hard drive crashed

    My old laptops hard drive crashed and was not salvagable, I was able to get all my music onto my new laptop though. How do I get my iTunes account on my new laptop so I dont lose all my apps, notes, data, ect. so I will still have everything on this computer for when I upgrade the phone.

    Open iTunes on your new laptop and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    You should sync your existing iPhone whether or not you intend to upgrade it. When you connect your iPhone to the new laptop, iTunes will ask if you want to "transfer purchases". Select that option.
    Make sure your iTunes Library contains all the music you want. Next time you sync your iPhone, all your imported music will go along with it.
    "Notes, data, etc" is a bit cryptic though. If you used iCloud, your data will be available on iCloud.
    The right way to plan for disaster recovery like yours is to back up your computer before it crashes, and the iPhone is not designed for that task.

    If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
    This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

  • My hard drive crashed and everything on my laptop was lost... is there anyway to transfer the music that I had put onto my phone into the itunes on my computer ?

    My hard drive crashed and everything on my laptop was lost... is there anyway to transfer the music that I had put onto my phone into the itunes on my computer ?

    I have a similar issue. My hard drive crashed, so I had a new one installed and I'm basically starting from scratch on my computer.  My iPhone has a lot of my stuff on it (photos and music in particular).  When I plugged into iTunes I did a "back up" of my phone to the computer....this transferred the photos in my camera roll, and music purchased through iTunes.
    So....I still have a ton of photos (saved in folders, not my camera roll), and music (older stuff not purchased through iTunes) that I want to get to my computer.  I am scared to "sync" my phone in iTunes for the first time.....if I do this, will it make my phone match my computer (effectively erasing the stuff on the phone?).  What I want is for my computer to match my phone (thus transferring the additional photos and music).  Is the third party software the only way??  Does it really work well/is it worth the money?  Thanks very much for the help.

    my hard drive crashed on my MacBook Pro crashed and I need to get my CS5 up and running on the new hard drive. I copied what I could onto an external hard drive but when I drag and drop I get directions to uninstall but the uninstall folder I have does says it is an alias that is no longer present. I get error 6. I would like to get my software up and running on the laptop again please

    If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc.  you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder. 
    You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it. 
    You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library. 
    If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod.  I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.
