I have lost ALL MY SONGS!! Help please!!

OK here is the deal: My computer like totally fried. Hard drive and everything. We bought a new computer. I downloaded iTunes back onto this new computer, but since this is a different computer then I originally downloaded my music onto, I don't have any of my songs in the music library or anything. What do I do?!?!

Do you have an iPod? If so, go to this link:

(then learn more and the instructions will follow!)
Hope this helps.

    How did you get your songs onto your iPod Touch?
    If purchase directly from iTunes you can download them again.
    If your iPod is synced to iTunes on a Windows PC, then, sync your iPod to that computer.
    If this is your first Mac, are you migrating from a Windows PC?

  • I think I lost all my songs help!

    Tranfered my songs from my Ipod to my computer via X-Play. Since my songs and my Ipod were formated for a mac I had to reformat my Ipod to work with windows. In order to reformat it had to erase my library on the Ipod itself. My Itunes library list all the songs, snce I "thought" I transfered them saftly. Now I have no back up. Itunes lists all the file sizes and memory stating that they are there. I have thousands of deads tracks. Can't find them at all. Have been studying posts trying to cure it. Hope not all is lost.

    You Might be able to have the store grant you a one time re-download of your entire purchase history, it has been done before as mentioned in this blog entry:
    http://thecontent.wordpress.com/2006/05/24/itunes-lets-people-re-download-all-yo ur-music-once/
    "Itunes Music Store Says "In the event that a customers entire music library is lost, the iTunes Music Store does re-grant the purchases history. Please keep in mind that Apple does not offer protection against the loss of purchases, so this is a one-time exception.""

  • Lost all album artwork, help please...

    I own an older 5th Gen. 60GB Ipod Video player and recently updated to the newest software version (1.2) and newest version of iTunes (version 7.00.70). For the last couple of CD's that I ripped onto my Ipod the album art wasn't showing up on my Ipod screen but would display on iTunes. So I searched the forums and found a solution to go to the music tab on iTunes (located under devices- click on your Ipod name and then select the "music" tab) and uncheck the last checkbox to "display album artwork on your iPod" and then click the "Apply" button and wait for iTunes to finish updating your iPod. Repeat this procedure by now checking the "display album artwork on your iPod" and then clicking the "Apply" button and again waiting for iTunes to update your iPod.
    Well, that solution failed miserably for me because it apparently erased or removed all of the album artwork that I had searched for and added manually to my iPod (without software). Now it is only displaying the text for each CD that I have for all 5,000+ songs. The strange thing is that when I click on a song that is on my Ipod (in iTunes when my Ipod is connected to my computer) the album art displays in iTunes just fine.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.

  • I have lost all my Podcasts. Please help

    Hi there,
    I have had to recently format, but I wrote down the names of my subscribed Podcasts, and re=subscribed to them.
    But I am only able to download recent Podcasts, not all of them?
    Where can I find all the old ones?
    E.g., Happy Tree Friends was one of the Podcasts I was subscribed to, but now….There’s only 3 episodes there! There was about 20 before I formatted…
    Please can some one tell me were I can re-download all my old Podcasts!

    Most podcasts only have a limited number of them listed at the iTMS.
    Older episodes often (but not always) are available at the website of the creator.
    Click on the arrow of the podcast (next to the name).
    This brings you to the podcast at the iTMS.
    Next click on 'Website'
    This will bring you to the website of the creator.
    You might now be able to download the missing ones.
    After adding them to iTunes, they won't show up in the Podcast section however. A special flag is set when you download them via the iTMS subscribtion.
    Downloading them directly off the creators' website does not set this flag.
    I don't know of any tool for Windows to set this flag, but they might exist.
    Hope this helps.

    You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto.

  • When I upgraded to iTunes 7, I lost all my songs! Please help!

  • HT5278 I have lost all of the songs I had on my iphone 4s how do I get them back.

    I have lost all my songs that i had on my iphone can i get them back?

    Assuming they are in your iTunes library, sync them back to your phone.  If they aren't, you can redownload any music purchased from the iTunes store for free (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519), but you will have to re-import music from other sources to your iTunes library then sync it back to your phone.

  • I seem to have lost all of my playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back? Dont know what I did wrong? Please Help

    I seem to have lost all my original playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back, where did I go wrong?
    If I was to press "restore" does this wipe everything off my library? I always thought that you could never loose songs? That they were always stored somewhere
    in there. Please help,

    If those tabs aren't in History > Recently Closed Tabs or Windows then they are probably lost.
    You can try to search them in the History if you haven't bookmarked them.
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
    * Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • HELP! Without any prompting for such a download, Firefox tells me 'Thank You for choosing Firefox 4', & I have lost ALL of my bookmarks! I absolutely need to restore them, please please help. Not impressed at all!

    I am shellshocked.... so far I am not happy with Firefox's latest effort. When I first got this version, my 'saved tabs' function did not work, which I use regularly, and I lost vital site information with the update. I figured out how to fix this by changing a setting, and figured my problems were over.
    But NOW without any prompting from me, Firefox re-opened, having lost the tabs I had, yet again, and instead opened up two new tabs, 'Welcome to FireFox' (ty for choosing firefox4), and 'Mozilla Firefox Start Page', AND I have lost all my bookmarks!, WTF! Please help me to restore them, I have tried the help info provided, but they are still not restored :( Some of those treasured bookmarks, an extensive list, I will never get again, unless I can restore the ones I had. :( NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL.

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

    Try this ..
    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to:  Notes
    Then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
    Other than that, try Time Machine >  http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html
