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.

  • I have lost all of my songs on itunes but there still on my ipod?

    okayy..i dont know wat happened . I was on my computer earlier today listening to podcasts and a cd my friend gave me. Then my mum wanted onto my computer so i unplugged it(its a laptop by the way) and gave it to her...it ran out of battery and when i switched itunes back on all of my music had disappeared. Was this anything to do with the battery running out?
    I clicked on transfer files when i plugged my iPod back in and since i have only bought 2 songs from itunes. Only two songs came up in my library. Now i still have 700 or something songs on my iPod nano(first edition) but only 2 songs on my iTunes.
    Does anybody know how i can get the songs from my iPod onto my iTunes??
    because its really bugging me
    please help
    if you want to reply to me by email..reply to [email protected]
    thanks

    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iRepo Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • It appears I have lost all previously downloaded music including songs I ripped from my own cds..can I get them back? I thought they were saved in the cloud but I cannot find them

    I had previously had years worth of Christmas music in my iTunes. When not the holiday season I obviously deslect it so that it does not play. I thought it was all backed up to the cloud, but now upon trying to recover it and resync it to my phone for travelling, I cannot find it anywhere. Is my music gone for good?

    Why did you think it was in icloud?
    You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries, but this does not apply to music not purchased via itunes.
    Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App ... - Apple
    Have you failed to maintainn a backup copy of your computer?

  • I got my daughter an ipod for Christmas from a friend (she's 8) and they had put a bunch of music on it that she liked, so we kept it, and I set up an itunes account for her, and set the restrictions, but have lost all of her music

    So the music they had put on is all that's gone. I had synced everything, and even backed it up, but didn't know that I would have to save it to my computer separately. I actually thought it was on it, before now.
    Is there any way to get her music back, without having to repurchase what someone else gave her?

    Okay, but this is nothing new.  Purchased content has ALWAYS been permanently tied to the AppleID account used to buy it.  It has never been transferable between accounts, or playable on computers not authorized for that account.
    It has nothing to do with how you sync or save your OWN music.  You cannot authorize your computer for music bought with an AppleID that you do not control.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, tehn you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries.

    Everything else is gone, if you have failed to backup or sync it to icloud or some other cloud service.

  • Ugraded to 4.0-lost all of the music I've purchased

    Last night I just upgraded my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.0. now I have lost all of the music that I have ever purchased. when I reach the itunes store through my ipod, it shows that I have once purchased these songs, but only asks if I want to purchase them again. how do I get back this music?

    okay, well some how none of the music i have purchased is in my library or ipod, but it is showing that i have previously bought it. is there anyway to re download this music since I have previously paid for it under the same account? and also it is giving me an error report saying that it cannot restore my ipod

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch with the new iTunes, it has lost all of my music and videos from my iPod/old iTunes library: including all but 4 songs of my bought songs, videos and audeobooks!

    I have recently updated my computer since my old one broke and therefore had to download a new iTunes. When I came to add my iPod to this new iTunes, I was given no option to transfer the contents of my iPod library to this new iTunes and was forced to try 'sync'; when my old computer was repaired once we lost all of our data so I had to download a new iTunes then,all of my iPod downloads were transferred and I could easily reburn my CDs so I didn't think the wiping of my iPod would be a problem. When I clicked 'sync' it warned me that it would replace the contents of my iPod with the new iTunes library, as I said I didn't think this would be a problembut then it asked if it should transfer my recent iTunes downloads so I said 'yes'. The sync was completed but now I only have 4 downloaded songs and 5 albums which I burned to my new iTunes! I have lost all the music I bought, all the videos I bought and all the audiobooks I bought! (Luckily I still have my apps.) I tried to restore backup but realised that only covers calendars, contacts E.T.C and I checked my iTunes account and that shows all my downloads but I can't see a way to restore them or anything like that!
    Please help! I am in despair as you can imagine how much moneys worth I have lost and am losing faith in Apple

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

    When you sync with itunes on your computer make sure you have all the songs that you want to sync selected in the music tab in itunes when you connect your phone.  Also with your phone connected click on the tones tab and make sure all the ringtones you want are selected there then sync
