I have lost a lot of music in itunes after re-downloading it on my computer. I also need to find out how to transfer songs from my ipod to my itunes on my computer.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
In the U.S you can use the recently released icloud beta to get purchases. Open itunes store, click Purchased under Quick Links

I have lost all of my music on itunes.

I have aton of music on itunes and now nothing shows up when I open itunes. Help!

What you have on your computer is an iTunes library, not an account. Your "account" that relates to iTunes is your Apple ID. The distinction is important, because you can sign in with your Apple ID to the iTunes Store, and re-download most previous purchases from the iTunes Store, at no cost. From the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.
Syncing with iTunes generally goes one way, from the computer's iTunes library to iPod. You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to the iTunes library.
I have lost all of my Music, books from my ITunes account on this new computer.
NOTE: If that new computer once had all of your content in its iTunes library at some point, and then you "lost" it for some reason, the media files may still be on the computer.
Look in your user home folder's Music folder. In the Music folder, look in
/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/ - For song files, organized by Artist and Album.
/iTunes/iTunes Media/Books/ - For books, etc...
If those iTunes media files are already there, but not in your current iTunes library, you can add them to your current iTunes library.

ITunes9 Home Sharing...I have lost a lot of music!! Help!

Since enabling Home Sharing, I noticed a lot of duplicate songs in my library. I started deleting them, and now the original songs won't play. There is an exclamation mark next to the song title, and I get a message that asks me to locate the original song. When I go to my back up file, which I created prior to enabling Home Sharing, the songs are not there. I could just cry! I have lost probably over 1000 songs. Is there any way to recover this music, or am I SOL?!
What a crappy application!

I hope you have been backing up to Time Machine and can go to iTunes from a few days ago and reinstall all your missing songs. Otherwise, no answers are immediately apparent. I have caused a similar phenomenon when deleting duplicate emails, which is a real teeth gnasher, but not as bad as loosing music.

Hi,
I had my iphone stolen a few weeks ago which had quite a lot of music on that I had downloaded from itunes via my phone but had not synced with itunes on my computer.
Is there any way to access the music now or is it lost? Thanks x

By any chance, did you have the Find My iPhone app installed prior to it being stolen?

Hopefully you had your iTunes purchases backed up to an external source such as an external drive or CD's?

HT204053 hi i have updated my icloud and i have lost a lot of my Passwords that i had saved on my Notes

hello I have updated my icloud and i have lost a lot of my Passwords that i have stored on my Note can you help me ???

I found the culprit in my case: after update to itunes 12 iPhone is X GB over the limit.
Check your sync settings for each type of content in the left sidebar. In my case I had sync turned off for everything but ringtones. After iTunes update for some reason the entire music library is set to sync with the phone. Turning it off reconciled the storage issue. Perhaps in your case it is some other new content marked for syncing.

I had to restore my iPhone and lost a lot of music!!! How can I get it back?! No cloud appears next to the songs, just buy!

You should be storing everything on your computer and you should always backup your computer. Have you failed to do these things?
If so, not good, then you can redownload some iTunes purchases in some countries. Open iTunes store, click Purchased under Quick links

My hard drive crashed and I have lost all of my music. How do I get it back?

My hard drive has crashed and I have lost all of my music. Is there a way to contact the itunes people and get at least all of my purchased music back?

If you are a resident of the U.S., have iTunes 10.3 or later, you can re download purchases for free.

- If photos were in your iPod Camera Roll, just restoe from backup. If they were synced to the iPOd you have to get them from where you got them the first place
- For itunes pruchsed music see:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- For other music you will hae to get it from where you got it the first time.

Not on iCloud itself - what you need is 'iTunes Match' which seeks to find versions in the Store of songs you already have, and failing that allows you to upload your own copies. This will cost you $24.99 per year; it does not count towards your 5GB free iCloud space. Limit 25,000 songs (purchased songs do not count towards this limit). You will need iTunes 10.5.1 or later on your Mac or PC and iOS 5.0.1 or later on your iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), or iPad.
Please see this page: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
Also note that some people have found that when using this facility with songs which contain strong language, iTunes Match is substituting a cleaned-up version.

Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages

Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages. I am a rookie and don't know what to do to correct the situation

I found this great set of mail AppleScripts:
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
It includes one script to delete duplicate messages. So if we can't find a way to do this right, then I'll just download all the duplicates then delete them. Of course I don't want to actually do that, lets call this the nuclear option.
So can anyone think of a way to make an IMAP account for my gmail without it downloading all the messages again that I have already downloaded?
