I had to install a new operating system and now my music is gone from iTunes

My MacBook Pro crashed the other day and I had to reinstall Yosemite.  Now when I go to iTunes library most of my music is missing.  I have a lot of it on my iPhone but it won't transfer back to my computer.  How do I retrieve thousands of songs?

Use your Time Machine backup if you have one.
Your can also recover your iTunes Store Purchases from the iTunes Store in the "Purchased" Tab on the right.
You can't get your music from the iPhone to the Mac, unless you use 3rd party software.

  • I downloaded the new operating system and now the Bluetooth in the car does not play my music.  All the songs show the cloud with a red arrow pointing down. How do I download all of them again to my I phone please?

    I downloaded the new operating system and now the Bluetooth in the car does not play my music.  The music on the phone show the cloud and the red arrow pointing downwards.  How do I download all the music again to my phone please?

    I have an ITunes account.  I got it when I got my IPOD.  I've thought about upgrading, but I didn't see any reason to buy a newer IPOD because they all come with so much stuff I don't want/need.  I don't have my current IPOD filled yet and I really don't need an IPOD Touch that has capabilities that my Droid already has.  I don't need to be concerned with documents, mail, attaching to Facebook or playing games.  I can do all that on my phone.  I just want to maintain my music between 3 devices.
    So now that I see it is not to my benefit to have this product---can you point me in the direction to cancel this?  And how do I get my music back?  Will it show up once I cancel my account?

  • New operating system and now itunes library is blank. How can I get it back?

    My computer got messed up and I ended up having to get a new operating system put on it. Now my itunes library is blank and my ipod says it can't synch (obviously) because it doesn't recognize the library. How do I get my old library back?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back

  • I just downloaded the new operating system and cannot get angry birds friends from Facebook to load.  Any suggestions here?

    I just downloaded the latest operating system to my IPad and now cannot access Angry  Birds Friends from Facebook.  Any solutions?

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • After installing new operating system, I can't connect to internet from an e-mail. What is wrong?

    After installing the new operating system, I can't access the internet from an e-mail request. What' wrong?

    Finally gave in and called Apple Support.
    1) They had me restart while holding down the Option-Command-P-R keys (this resets the HW apparently. Didn't fix it.
    2) Next they had me move my System Preferences folder to the trash. Still didn't fix it.
    3) Lastly they had me move all my cache files to the trash and then empty the trash. Restarted and it seems to be fixed now.
    I was told that sometimes after an upgrade if you don't "delete all your caches" that there can be problems. I'll have to see if the connection holds up since before the problem was intermittent, but at least now I have a case number and all seems well so far.
    I encourage those who are experiencing issues to please call Apple Support - it appears that there is no one fix and it depends on so many different factors. If this issue re-appears I'll be back on the phone with them - plus I'll update this thread.
    Thanks!

  • I erased my HD and could not install lion. if I turn on the mac now all I see is a folder with a question-mark. How can I install a new operation system?

    I erased my HD and could not install lion. if I turn on the mac now all I see is a folder with a question-mark. How can I install a new operation system?

    Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • New operating system and can't find music

    Is the iTunes music I download stored on my PC or stored in iTunes? I installed a new operating system, downloaded iTunes, logged in to my account, and I'm in but my music is not there. I thought the music I downloaded was all stored in iTunes but now I'm afraid that's probably not the case. Any assistance is appreciated.

    Itunes music download are stored in your computer and not on your iTunes account, although they are related.
    You can redownload those purchased music on your new iTunes.
    Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

  • The problem is with the new operating system  and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.   From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow.

    The problem is with the new operating system  and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.
    From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow. This is solved by saving the email as a draft and opening the email again from mail.
    Can you amend he system to allow emails to be sent from photo as previously.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system.  Now' I cannot write on my Contacts or Calendar apps, and my Pages app (purchased) has lost the ability to use the bold, underline, and italics functions.  Does anyone know how to fix these

    I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system.  Now, I cannot add to my contacts or calendar apps, and Pages ( which I purchased) is not allowing me to use the bold, underline, and italics functions.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    No, it stays with the current OS (iOS5 in this case) - Apple doesn't allow downgrading iOS
    If you are syncing to a desktop, you shoudln't lose anything. If you aren't syncing, then that's the first thing you should do, to protect contacts etc.
    the other thing is, when the iPad is connected to iTunes, right-click its name in the Devices list and choose Back Up.
    That way, when yoiu do the restore, everything should come back as was.

    Hello Brian Delaney,
    It sounds like you are trying to send emails but for some reason, thousands show activity. I would start by re indexing the mailbox to help troubleshoot the issue:
    1.Quit Mail if it’s open.
    2.In ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData, delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm.To show your home Library folder, hold down the Option key, then in the Finder choose Go > Library.
    3.Open Mail.Mail creates new Envelope Index files. This process may take a few minutes, depending on how many messages Mail is reindexing.
    Mail (Mavericks): Reindex messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14876
    If the issue persists, I would next remove the account, restart the computer, and re add the account:
    1.Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
    2.Select an account, then click Remove.
    Mail (Mavericks): Remove mail accounts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14944
    Removing an Exchange or IMAP account doesn’t permanently delete the account’s mailboxes and messages because they’re stored on the mail server. To retrieve the account’s mailboxes and messages from the server, add the account again in Mail.
    To add the account again, click the  rather than the  as described above and retest the issue.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Joe

  • Am running FCP5, but upgraded to iMac a few months ago. Noted that some features of FCP5 like Boris text are no longer available. Was told by local Apple store that new operating system I now have (Snow Leopard) will drop some such elements. Is this true?

    I was upgrading to the new operating system and my phone is now shut down.  How do I get it unlocked?

    Open Safari and on the menu named Safari click Preferences. In the Preferences window, click General at the top. Set "New windows open with" and "New tabs open with" to "Top Sites."  You can leave the Homepage setting as it is (e.g. Google), but nothing will open to the Homepage unless you have a Home icon in the toolbar and click on it.

    Unauthorized modification of iOS can cause security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, and other issues
    Security vulnerabilities: Jailbreaking your device eliminates security layers designed to protect your personal information and your iOS device. With this security removed from your iOS device, hackers may steal your personal information, damage your device, attack your network, or introduce malware, spyware or viruses.
    Inability to apply future software updates: Some unauthorized modifications have caused damage to iOS that is not repairable. This can result in the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iOS update is installed.
    ... It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of iOS is a violation of the iOS end-user software license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.
