How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do I get my photos and music back into new version iTunes from my iPad?

I have the new version of iTunes (11 0 2 26) for Windows which installed over my old copy. I see none of my music etc even after it claims to have synced and backed up. How do I get my photos and music back into iTunes from my iPad? It syncs OK with calendar and contacts from Outlook and I can force copying of apps and books but why does it not show music and photos in the iTunes library? help please.

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. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
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.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
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!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I had to reset my iPhone. How do I get my apps and music back?

I had to reset my iPhone. How do I get my apps and music back? It is backed up on iCloud. Thanks

Restore it from your iCloud backup. Here are the instructions:
iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud
Expect it to take a long time, several hours if you purchased many apps and / or songs.

I recently had to uninstall itunes and reinstall it again. How do I get my previously purchased music back on my itunes?

I recently had to uninstall itunes and reinstall it again. How do I get my previously purchased music back on my itunes?

Depending on what country that you are in you might be able to re-download past music purchases via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page - re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
But if you only re-installed iTunes and you didn't remove the actual music from your computer, then it should still be on there, and you should be able to add it back into iTunes via File > Add Folder To Library - by default your iTunes content should have been stored under :
Windows 7 and Vista : \users\username\My Music\iTunes.
Windows XP : \user\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes.

I've had to reset my computer, how do I get my backups and music back?

I've had to reset my computer, how do I get my backups and music back?

It's a bit late now. You will need to use third-party software such as Phone to PC in order to transfer the files to your new iTunes library. For items purchased from the iTunes Store you can re-download them: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

So if I got a new computer how can I get all my old music back?

My old labtop with my entire itunes library is no longer accessable so how do I get all my previous music back? Please help me!

Put it on the new computer.
Installing iTunes and logging into a user's account has never caused media to magically appear on a computer.
Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Alternatively, type "move iTunes library" into the search bar on this site for detailed instructions.

I had to format my HD, now iTunes says my iPOD is sync'd with another computer. How do I get my iPOD's music back in to the library and sync it with the computer again?

I had to format my computers hard drive. Now the iTunes thinks my iPOD is sync'd with another computer. How do I get re-sync the iPOD and computer and get my songs on the iPOD back in to the iTunes library. Thanks!

Can't tell you exactly, as it can be used to facilitate piracy and Apple blocks this sort of thing from occuring (except for itunes purchased music)
But you can find out what your looking for at iLounge, i'd suggest that method for "mixed" music from different sources, that way you get it all back.
Next time, hit the iTunes menu and backup your library to disks, only takes a few minutes and a few DVD-R's.
Good Luck

How do i get all of my music back to my phone from icloud?

Recently had to restore my phone for unknown reasons but now that i have it going again all of my music has a cloud with an arrow pointing down on it..which i know means it has to be downloaded from icloud. Is there any way i can do them all at once rather than doing them one by one?

You can download entire albums and playlists by selecting them and tapping the download symbol at the top.

How do I get pictures from my iPod back to my computer?

First of all, I searched and searched and never found a difinitive answer. So forgive me if there is a topic covering this buried somewhere in the depths of ****!
I recently lost stuff on my hard drive. I want to get my pictures back from my iPod onto my PC. I got them onto the iPod in the first place with iTunes. Not with disk mode. I know some people say you can't get them off unless you put them onto it in disk mode. But, there has to be a way, or a program out there that can do this. If the pictures were put on there. There has to be a way to take them off.
So if anyone knows a way, or a program that will take pictures off your iPod, back onto the PC, I would be forever in your debt. As some of the pictures I need off of it cannot be replaced.

Sorry Johnny....I missed that point. I'm struggling to find an application that will get the photos off for you. If you have access to a Mac, this may help
http://echoone.com/filejuicer/formats/formats?f=ithmb
However, this still may not work as you may be asked to format the iPod first which will be self defeating.
I looked at Yamipod and a couple of other products that will extract music from an iPod...can't find one for photos....sorry...maybe Chris or one of the other regulars has a solution.

How do I get my all my music from my original computer to my current computer? Music is on my original IPhone that I use as an IPod. Most of my music is selected from an external hard drive.

The bulk of my music is held on an external hard drive. The balance is music I have purchased off ITunes. About 8years ago I selected songs from all this music on the hard drive and the playlists are held in ITunes on this computer that I used 8 years ago. The music was copied to my original IPhone which I now use as an IPod. How can I transfer this ITunes list to my current computer?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
