I lost all my songs when syncing

When I downloaded the new version I lost all my contacts and all my apps and all my downloaded songs. I've managed to get everthing else back except for the music. I had approximately 150 songs. Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks,

Go to iTunes, tap on Purchased and you can download your music again. Normally you do not lose music when you update unless you update on a different computer than the one you usually sync with. If you did this go back and sync with the computer you normally use and your music and playlists will be recovered also.

HELP. -- Lost all uploaded songs when I reinstalled iTunes

Had to have new hard drive installed on PC. When I reinstalled iTunes on the PC all my music that was uploaded on my iPad was deleted . Sync all devices was turned off what else needs to be turned off? I am hoping the tunes are on still on my old lap top.but am afraid to turn it on until I figure out what went wrong. I also have most of them on an android phone. How can I load them back on the PC and iPad from laptop or phone. I also thought my songs were backed-up in icloud but apparently not. Only songs I have are the ones I purchased from the store.

Media (music, fillms, tv shows) can only downloaded once, which is why you are advised to make and maintain backups - are you sure that re-installing iTunes has removed your content, and it's not just that you havn't told iTunes where your content is ?
Apps can be re-downloaded for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519, as can books from iBooks.

I pressed"SYNC" and lost all the songs I downloaded from many cd's, how can I get all of them back? please help. I'm so frustrated!

i pressed "SYNC" and lost all the songs from many cd's that I loaded to my library, how can I get them all back?

When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud. My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced. I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?

The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

I updates my iPod before syncing it and lost all my song how can I see what song i lost?

From your backup that is in iTunes or in iCloud or resync them from your computer.

Help, lost all the songs on my iPod when checked the box titled "Replace all items when Autofilling" in my Autofill Settings window.

Help, I lost all the songs on my iPod when I deleted a few songs from my iTunes Library, checked the box titled "Replace all items when Autofilling" in my Autofill Settings window, and then tried to Autofill. Note that I do not purchase songs from iTunes, but rather I rip songs off my own cd's and then transfer the mp3 files to iTunes. And after I transfer mp3 files from my pc to iTunes and then Autofill, I generally delete those files from my pc.
I can still see the songs in my iTunes Library, but not on my iPod. Is there a way that I can salvage them and get them back on my iPod?
Thanks in advance.

Well you will have to wait to connect you ipod to the orignal computer and it will put all your songs back on to it.

Have you tried the usual cures such as resetting your phone or backing it up then restoring from the backup?

HT4914 When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;
then I would recommend going through the tried and true channel here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.
Peace Out.

I wiped my computer and iTunes did not remember songs ect when reinstalled it and have I lost all my songs. Doesn't the Apple ID sign in keep all your details??

I wiped my computer and when I reinstalled iTunes, none of my songs ect were listed. Have I lost all my songs for good and need to redownload and copy my CDs???
Why doesn't the Apple ID remember everything for when you change computers or do a wipe? So frustrated and unhappy now.

Songs you upload into iTunes via MP3 file or CD are stored locally. You would need to do those again if you wiped your hard drive (assuming you didn't have a backup of your iTunes library)
Songs you download through iTunes are downloadable again with your ID at no additional charge.

i have two itunes accounts, one on the french store, my first one, and another on the US one.
i subscribed to itunes match with the french account, and when i went on the us one, i lost all my songs for three months!
i need my two accounts, i live between nyc and paris.
*** happens and how can it be fixed.

That's what happens when you switch stores. You need to stay with one account (at one store) otherwise you lose files that were synced with the other store.

HT1349 I have two ipods and lost all my song I had on one of them. There not in my folder no more

This is in the iPad forum, but anyway, your music should still be in iTunes. What happens when you try to sync your iPod with iTunes?
