I changed my apple id and lost all my music...

i have changed my apple id and lost all my music other than about 20 songs...i had about 700

Did you "change your Apple ID" using this process?

If not, you might mean you created a new Apple ID to start using instead of your old one.  In that case, your old Apple ID owns all the music, and your new one does not.

  • Changed my apple ID and Lost all my purchases

    I recently changed my e-mail in my iTunes account information, which is also my apple ID and I have lost all my purchased music.  How can I get all my purchases back?

    YES!
    I can access the old account by changing password BUT can't see my purchases listed...
    Any suggestions?
    TIA
    Found the missing songs (not obvious- need to hit the 'buy' button in iTunes!), still trying to download as my MBA is new and must be authorised; waiting.......

    To get to the recovery partition restart your computer,  hold CMD+R down when you hear the boot up chime. Open Disk Utility first (verify your boot disk and repair if needed) and then close it and reinstall ML.

  • I disconnected my ipod before ejecting, and lost all my music. HELP!

    I disconnected my ipod while it said do not disconnect, and now all my music and movies are gone, but my pictures are still there. I have reset the ipod several times, and tried to connect to itunes. I am getting an error box from itunes saying "ITUNES HAS STOPPED WORKING a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" Is there anything I can do? a lot of my music is from other people, and I will not be able to get it back if it's really gone. PLEASE HELP ME!

    Do you sync with iTunes? If you do, all of your purchased content should be in your iTunes library, so sync with iTunes again in order to recover your books and music.
    If you don't sync with iTunes and you only use iCloud, go to the purchased tabs in iTunes and the iBooks app and download all of your music and books again. You will not be charged again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the books and music with originally.

    Hi, my daughter connected her ipone to my mac and lost all of her pictures, music, etc.  is there any way to get the information back?
    <Edited by Host>

    Does she normally sync to the MAC?  IF she does, she can restore her phone from a backup, if she has one.
    If she doesn't normally sync to the MAC then she can sync back to her PC and then restore to her backup.
    If those options don't work then she is sol

  • Changed name of home and lost all app config

    I changed the name of my home folder from "matthewcrossley" to "mjc". Much to my dismay I lost all of my safari bookmarks and configurations. Mail also asks me to set it up all over again. I had a highly personalized machine and would like to undue the damage I have done. Any ideas what has happened and how to fix it?
    powerbook G4 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Instead of using those instructions, open the NetInfo Manager application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder; next, click the padlock and type in your administrator password. In the list of users, locate the matthewcrossley account's home property, and change this to '/Users/mjc' without the quote marks. Don't alter or delete any other accounts, properties, or groups. Log out and back in to restore your data while keeping the new home folder name.

  • Changed my Apple ID and lost iMessages?

    I was trying to get iCloud to work and in order to do that I had to change my apple ID from an ID "re's nano" to my e-mail address. When I did this and adjusted it on my iPod, I lost my previous iMessages even though it is the same account I used. Is there any way to get these back? Thanks.

  • HELP! I changed my desktop photo and lost all photos and music!

    I swear, all i did was put a pretty picture of lightening (that was in Apple's list of stock photos to choose from BTW!) on my desktop. It might as well have been real lightening because iPhoto doesn't have any of my pictures in it and iTunes doesn't have any of my music. When I open these folders, I can find the content there, but why did it disappear from the programs AND if I change my desktop back, will the pics/tunes come back?!?! I can live without the photos but the music and movies!!!! I have it all on my iPhone but now I am afraid to "sync" it to my computer.
    Perhaps something easy like "import"?

    Well, I ended up just dragging and dropping my music back into iTunes and it recopied them but all playlists are gone... oh well. As far as I can tell, all purchased music is there as well.
    As far as the photos, I can see and open them in the pictures file (with the album titles and all) with Preview, but I tried to drag and drop those as well, but it was saying there was an error and it couldn't read them or something like that. I know, I should have written the error message down... rookie mistake. Just to test, I tried to upload a picture from the folder to a website, but when I went to browse for the picture it didn't recognize any of them.
    I also repaired permissions (there were alot!) a couple of times until there were none. That didn't seem to work... I am so frustrated. They are all there on the hard drive but they wont go into iPhoto.
    I think the worst part is... why did this happen and what to avoid so it won't happen again. I can't believe it is just because I changed the background on my desk top. After I did it, many of my regular sites like webmail didn't recognize me when I visited and I had to answer a bunch of my security questions again. Its as if they don't recognize this is the same computer just because it has a different screen saver!!! If all this really is because of that, it is a major design flaw. Why put the option to change if it is going to throw the whole system into a tailspin?
    I am sure it is something I did wrong... just venting.
    Anyway, how to get the photos imported back into iPhoto... any more ideas?

  • HT5624 I changed my apple ID and lost my contacts

    I changed my Apple ID ... and lost my contacts.
    Any ideas?

    I believe I created a new one.
    They sent me an e-mail with a link, and I created a new one, because I couldn't remember the old one.  If I ever had an old one ... the phone was my son's hand me down. 

  • I updated a new credit card to my apple id and lost all purchased applications and music, any ideas why or how to get it back?

    I updated my credit card info with my apple id and now I can't locate any purchased apps or music, any ideas?

    Sounds like you opened a new account using a new Apple ID. This is the only way you would lose purchases because past pirchasea are always tied to the ID that they were purchased under.

  • I had to reformat my desktop pc and lost all my music. Is there any way to transfer the music from the ipod to the pc?

    I lost the music on my pc when I had to reformat the disk.  Is there any way to transfer the music from the Ipod to the pc?  I am told that if I try to sync the music that it will erase all the music on my Ipod.

    Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Transfer other music by using a third-party programlike one of those discussed here:

    You can also rredownload mos iTunes purchases by:
