I lost music and would like it back
I bought a few albums off of the iTunes Store and they worked great for a while before I had a chance to back the files up. Then my computer crashed and I had to re install Vista on my computer and I no longer have the albums that I purchased. I know that the Zune software(God I hate that program) has a purchase history where you can re-download any media that you have already purchased. Does iTunes have any such feature, I would like the music I paid for back please.

I run an itune 10.4 and would like to back up my entire library to a DVD, because I do not have an external hard drive to back it up to (as the "help" topic is suggesting). Is it possible?...and if so, can someone help me please.
This is no longer done via iTunes.
Use whatever CD/DVD burner software is installed on your computer.
Add the iTunes media folder to the list of files/folders to burn to disc. -
I just set up my Time Capsule and would like to back up my old MacBook with Tiger (10.4.11) to it
I just set up my Time Capsule and would like to back up my old MacBook with Tiger (10.4.11) to it so I can access the files with out taking up space on my new MacBook Pro. Since I've purchased this time capsule I've heard that using it as a "server" it not ideal, but at this point I don't have a lot of other options. Any advice on the best way to back up my old computer and be able to access these files from my new computer??
Open Macintosh HD and look for the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the Finder window
Click on the Time Capsule icon and a folder representing the drive will appear to the right. The folder will be named "Data" unless you have changed the name of the drive.
You may need to click Connect As in the upper right hand corner of the window and enter the Time Capsule device password to get the folder to display the first time that you do this.
Once the folder is displayed, double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop. You can drag/drop files onto the icon. This is going to be very tedious, but it can be done.
I would suggest that you look at an application like Carbon Copy Cloner to automatically backup the files that you select. Then you can schedule the applcation to automatically backup any files that have changed each day.

I am looking to find out how to back up a tv series to cd's off of itunes. I back up my songs onto cd's and would like to do the same with my tv series. The problem I am encountering is that I need them as mpeg's . right now they are m4v's. They aren't compatible that way when they save.
Video files purchased from the iTunes store are meant to be played with iTunes. You can't convert "protected" content. A quick web search should find free transcoders for non-protected content, but if you are "backing up" all you need to do is copy the files to somewhere they could be restored from. See this User Tip.

I accidently removed 'most visited' and would like it back.
I accidently removed 'most visited' from my toolbar. It was very convenient & I would like it back. I have re-installed Firefox, but that did not help.

In the past 6 years I have purchased many books from iTunes. I lost one of them and would like to download it again, however it is not showing up in my purchased screen. All of my music, movies, and shows are showing but none of my books. They do show up in my purchase history, how can I get them back? Help!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
So far as I am aware, books haven't been available for 6 years, so I'm wondering if you mean audiobooks.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. -
We have 4 iphones and an Ipad in our family. When we purchase music, I would like for the entire family to be able to use it and then back it up to Icloud. What is the best and cheapest way for this to happen. Should we all have a different apple id or should we use the same one.
You will all need to be on the same itunes account ID.
You can however all have seperate icloud accounts aswel. -
I have bought itunes songs on an ipad with my daughter apple id. i would like to back them up on the same computer I sync my iphone with using my apple id but they will not transfer. Both iphone and ipad have only been synced on the computer mentioned since they were purchased. Is there any way to get the ipad music transferred to the computer?
And they were definitely purchased from the iTunes store, they show on the account's purchase history (Store > View Account on a computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com) ?
You could potentially log into the account on that computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out to log out of your account, that will then change to a Store > Sign In option) and redownload them by clicking on the id towards the top right of the iTunes screen and Purchased on the popup :
But that will potentially tie that computer to that account for 90 days : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
Or do you have a different computer that you could redownload them on and then copy them over to that computer via a flash drive or memory card, and then add them to its iTunes via File > Add To Library ? -
I found a iPad Mini and would like to return it to the original owner. I believe it was previously stolen and it cannot be activated. Any idea how I can get it back to the original owner?
I am very disappointed (yet I somewhat understand) Apple and how they completely have no interest in helping return lost items. I don't believe the person who traded me this was from around here so I don't even know where to begin. I seen on ebay you can sell them for parts but I don't really believe in doing that and would like to at least try my best to get it back to whom it belongs to. I will be contacting my local police department regarding this but I don't think they will be able to do much if it was stolen from somewhere else. However if nobody claims it in 90 days and I have a letter from my local police station saying I am the new owner, will that be enough for apple to unhold their policy of proving the item belongs to you?

I have a new pc and would like to sync my music from my Iphone to itunes
I thought I had backed up my music to icloud but can't find it. I have all my music on my iphone and would like to sync it back to itunes. HELP please
If your music was purchased in iTunes, the new iCloud feature will enable you to download all of those songs to your new machine. Goto Purchases -> look at the bottom right of the window for "download previous purchases" Be sure you have the latest version of iTunes.
If you have music that you ripped from CDs, you can just move the files on a flash drive or over your home network. -
I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.
Can someone indicate the way to proceed?
Thanks.Hi,
You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

I have a few devices on one apple id and would like to switch out one of my phones so they have there own apple id do I have to restore the phone as new or can i somehow switch it without losing all apps and music in iTunes?
Hello lynnettefromsk,
The article linked below details all of the locations that you may need to change your Apple ID. This process should not affect the state of anything on the device at the time.
