Music on my iTunes account has disappeared, but still have it on my older iPod; want to upload it to iTunes, but when I hook up to computer, iTunes wants to overwrite the iPod. I fear I'll lose it all. Any help?
Hey blite923,
Thanks for the question. If these are purchased songs, you can transfer purchases from your iPod to your computer without syncing:
Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1848
Transfer your purchases to your computer
Before you transfer your purchases, make sure that your computer is authorized with the same Apple ID account you used to make the purchases. Learn how to authorize your computer using iTunes.
If you bought the iTunes Store content on your device using multiple Apple ID accounts, you'll need to authorize the computer for each one.
To transfer purchases from your device to a computer:
Connect your device to the computer. Wait for its icon to appear in iTunes.
Go to File > Devices. If you're using iTunes for Windows and can't see the menu bar, learn how to turn on iTunes menus in Windows.
Choose Transfer Purchases from [device name].
This feature works only for content bought from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or received from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, all podcasts from your device's Podcasts app and copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer. Learn how to transfer media to your iTunes library.
Thanks,

I have a ipod nano 5th generation and I just fully synced it with my library. I lost all of the playlists I had on my ipod. I just had those playlists on my ipod and not in my itunes library. I also lost some of my music as well. Is there a way to get all of this back or undo it?
Either call Apple customer services and see if they can replace your original discs,
or buy a copy of iLife '09 or '11 {'11 doesn't include iWeb, I understand} from Amazon MP (etc),
or buy them individually from the App Store {iWeb will not be available on the App Store and nor will iDVD}
If you want the retail disc I'd hurry - Apple no longer sell iLife on disc, and prices are starting to rise on Amazon already. -
I still want my kids to be able to download on each device the games or songs purchased by the other one....so I don't think I want to create separate iTunes and iCloud accounts for each.
Just use a different Apple ID for iMessage. You can continue to share the same ID for iTunes and use separate IDs for other services such as iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, etc.
Have them go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with separate IDs. To prevent getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime. -
I an trying to recover lost music that was in my I tunes library.
I now have more music on my I pod nano and want to sync this collection back to the I tunes library. Is this possiable ?
If not, can anyone give me a hint, other than the ones on the I tunes tutorial ( none of these have worked ) how I can get my music backYes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.
Good Luck -
None of the pictures show up on Iphoto either
If you are logged in to icloud with your same Apple ID. Go to setting on your phone>Photos & Camera and turn ON my Photo Stream.

Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes without losing them?
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic. I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store. I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.
You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

To copy other music to the computer see:

I recently got a new laptop, it has no music on it and I have been plugging my iPod in and listening to music that way. Tonight it decided to sync with my iTunes and deleted all of my music. Is there any way I can get my music back?

i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
thanks royThere's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer. -
I got my New iPad in the mail yesterday. I imported my photos and videos to make a short movie. The photos had lost all their original quality. Is there any way to import photos without losing quality?
If you mean "optimizing for iPad," no.

I have lost iTunes card but still have receipt
I have lost my iTunes card but still have receipt . Any advice please?
If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

I lost my $20 itunes card but still have receipt of purchase Can i still redeem it?
You can ask, but there's almost certainly nothing they will be able to do for you. Gift cards, from any retailer, are almost always treated like cash and hence cannot be replaced if you lose them. Apple's terms say:
Neither Issuer nor Apple is responsible for lost or stolen Gift Certificates, iTunes Cards, Content Codes, or Allowances.
Sorry, but you're probably out of luck.

I downoaded IOS5 to my phone and lost all my phone contacts. Is there a way to get my numbers back?
Does she normally sync to the MAC? IF she does, she can restore her phone from a backup, if she has one.
If she doesn't normally sync to the MAC then she can sync back to her PC and then restore to her backup.
If those options don't work then she is sol -
