It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>transfer Purchases

Lost all my music on iTunes and printer no longer works

What is going on with my comp? Lost all music on itunes. it says can't locate music. Docked my ipod and it wiped that as well.
Tried to print but nothing. In preferences it knows it's the Epson C64 but it just won't print. When I take it out of Airport and plug directly to iMac, nothing.
Never switched the machine off so how do I get the music back. It was playing yesterday and today, it's gone. No updates were done, the machine has not been touched in anyway

Senti,
In your Music > iTunes folder, is your
music
still in there? Thats where your music should be
by
default. Otherwise, do a search with
Spotlight
for your music and see where it has gone.
As for the printer, make sure you have proper
Intel
compatible drivers.

After following instructions from the above link, I
now get error 50 when trying to add my Epson Stylus
C64
With the loss of my iTunes and now the printer I am
renaming my Intel Core Duo to Mental Core Blimey.
When will the troubles end?
Phoning support in Bangalore see if they can help out
Ok didn't phone support, couldn't bear it so ploughed through. I managed to install driver only if I connected printer directly to iMac.
Then tried to plug it back to the Airport Extreme, no workio. Checked utilities for Airport, nothing in there to include update wireless printing.
Suggestions?

Mountain lion crash when opening logic photobooth and lost all my music in itunes.

Why are apple apps crashing in Mountain Lion. Logic, Photobooth, iphoto and lost all my music in Itunes?

you might need to reinstall ML from the Recovery Partition.
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.

You can download everything you purchased from the iTunes Store without having to pay again:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Here is the procedure for your reference, using iTunes 10.7. The procedure and screenshots for newer versions are contained in the above link.
This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.

Lost all my music in itunes after computer crash

Lost all my music in itunes when computer crashed. itune store doesn't show all my purchases. How do I get all my music back?

Browse your iTunes folder. Do you have files in folder in your media folder? In other words, did you really lose the media or did iTunes just lose track of it?
Of course you have a backup you make of your computer before doing any major updates, right?

I have all my music in iTunes and have "Music Match" turned on. Apparently, I also have music on my iPhone 5. I need to free up space on my iPhone. If I delete the music on my phone, will it still be available to me on my phone via the cloud?

The same is true for photo's. I have too many photo's on my phone taking up space. Now I realize I can remove a lot of the photo's via sync options, but ...

This can happen if iTunes gets confused about what is and isn't on the device. These steps should resolve.
Backup the device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore the backup made earlier.

I appear to have lost all my audiobooks from itunes and cannot download a new purchase to my ipod. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but this has not helped - I am desperate as I depend on my ipod for listening to books

My ipod touch has lost touch with my itunes account. I appear to have lost all my audiobooks from itunes and a nook I downloaded from audible.com last week is on my itunes but I cannot syn it to my ipod. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but this did not work and I now have a different screen with itunes which I am not familiar with. I need my ipod for audiobooks and podcasts because I have a visual impairment.

iTunes 11 does some thinks differently. See:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
or
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Also
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

Had to get a new hard drive, of course lost all my music in itunes. If I sync my ipod to itunes now will I lose my music on my ipod?

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software to copy over. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

ITunes has lost all my music, playlists, ratings and preferences

My stuff is backed up on an external drive, but if I reload it and sync my iPod, I lose all playlists, ratings and so on. Any suggestions as to how (and if) I can get my old prefs, playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc. back? I turned off my computer in the evening, switched it on uneventfully in the morning, went to sync my iPod and was told that it was synced to another computer (not so). Checked iTunes and found that it was a clean slate.

You can redownload them again without incurring additional charges. See this article:

If you are having difficulty downloading them, the itunes Customer Support should be able to assist you in reposting them back for you.

Lost all my music in itunes

When I opened itunes this morning all my music that I had on the computer is gone! No list, no podcasts, no purchased music, nothing.
The other day I did accidentally trash my music folder but I dragged it back out of the trash and itunes still worked after that. I lost some other music that did not play through itunes also, so I'm thinking I trashed and lost that too. I have not emptied the trash but I don't see anything in it that looks like it would be associated with itunes.
Can someone help me find my music?
Thanks.

So what you see in iTunes is only a link to the actual music files.
Open iTunes
Go to "File"
Click on "Add to Library"
A new window should open to ask you were the folder is you want to update from.
Find your iTunes Music folder and click Open.
Also iTunes Preferences "Advanced" will tell you where it thinks the iTunes Music Folder is.
Hope this helps
