I lost my i-tunes library on my vista pc  while trying to install  an update. How do i get it back

I have a pc running Vista.  I got an update notice, but it would not upgrade. I tried to upgrade from download folder as suggested but somehow my entire i-tunes library is now gone. I have an external hard drive on this computer.  Can I transfer my i tunes back to my pc, and if so, how do I do this?
I have a new Mac with my i-tunes library on it, but it does not have a CD drive so I cannot add music from CD's with it.
Any help would be appreciated.  Thank-you.
Jo

Ok, thanks so much for helping, but now I'm back at the screen where I can choose the partion to reinstall Lion and I have one partion named "UNTITLED" 320.07 GB total 319.65 available
And it says that this disk doesn't use the GUID partition table scheme and still does not allow me to choose the partion to start the recovery of Lion.. What do I do now so it lets me start? Please help... Thanks..

  • I've lost the orange firefox tab with the arrow, that was in the top left corner: how do I get it back?

    I've lost the orange firefox tab with the arrow, that was in the top left corner: how do I get it back?

    In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
    *There is a star like button to the right end of the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
    *It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu on the toolbars to have menus like the Bookmarks menu
    *<br>*If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"

    Backup do not contaiuns music or apps, you will either need to resync them from your itunes computer, or you can go to purchase history in itunes or app store app and go to purchase history and redownload them.

  • HT1414 I lost all my data while doing the latest software upgrade, how do I get it back if I dont have a backup on iTunes?

    I lost all my data while doing the latest software upgrade, how do I get it back if I dont have a backup on iTunes?

    If you don't have a backup, then all your pics/text/notes are gone.
    You can sync back music and app.  If you were syncing your contacts with a program in itunes, then you'll get that back.
    Not sure why you didn't do a backup, especially prior to doing an upgrade.

  • The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password.  I have an HP laptop

    The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop. 

    Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
    If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
    In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

  • Lost all my mail and folders after installing mavericks. How can I get these back?

    After Installing Maverick on my Mac it seems that I have no mail folders anymore and I lost also all the mails that were stored. How do I get these back?

    The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The  MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
    In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

  • Lost January Software Update, how do I get it back?

    Hey ya'll, im new to apple and its products, only be an apple user for 7 months, and am still planning on getting the new iPhone and Macbook Air when I get more money, lol. But, for now, only product i have is iPod Touch, and I just had this problem happen to me and dont know how to fix it. I just scrolled it from an email i sent to their support. Hope you guys can help me fix it.
    Thanks
    "Hello. I am really confused now, so Ill just get right to it. Last night, when I hooked up my iPod Touch to my computer, my computer first recgnized it, however, when I went to my iPod no movies or no songs were on there. I unpluged it, pluged it back in. Then it says your iPod cannot be recognized, and so I had to format my entire iPod Touch, losing all my settings, and the 2008 January Software Update that I paid $19.99 for. So then, I go back into my iTunes account, after restoring it, and re-syncing all my songs and videos back to the iPod, and it says that I never paid for the January Update ($19.99), which I did, and 3 Metallica songs ($0.99/ea) that I purchased that same day. So then I go and try to put my credit info back on, to "pay" it off again, and it wouldnt let me, and said something about enter a vaild security code, which i did (the 3 numbers on back of credit card at the end in a box), numerous times. I would like to know how do I get my january oftware Upgrade back, as well as my 3 songs I purchased in January 2008."

    First, see if the update is gone, or not being utilized:
    The iPod touch January Software Upgrade can only be synced to iPod touch from the primary iTunes library. If the user is manually managing music and video on iPod, this is the computer where they first set up the iPod or first set it up after restoring the iPod. The "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file can be copied from the computer where you purchased it to your primary iTunes library computer, and sync the iPod from there.
    The file is located here:
    Mac OS X:
    ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
    Windows XP
    C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    Windows Vista:
    C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    Note: These locations are hidden by default in Windows. You can these locations by choosing "Show hidden files and folder" in the View tab of the Folder Options Control Panel.
    Now, if you can't get this to install, you can try to set your Touch to automatically sync instead of manually sync.
    If that doesn't do it, login to your iTunes store account within iTunes, goto your account, and select "report problem"
    They should be able to help you with the downloads and the update from there.

  • HT204053 I recently replaced the hard drive on my Windows 7 computer and lost all of my music content. It should be on the iCloud, however. How can I get it back to iTunes? Can I "reverse-synch" and send it FROM my iPhone TO my computer?

    I recently replaced the hard drive on my Windows 7 computer and in the process lost all my music. I think it should be on the iCoud. Can I get it back from the iCloud to my computer? Or can I "reverse-synch" FROM my iPhone TO iTunes?

    All the music you purchased from iTunes can be re-downloaded, all the music you acquired without purchasing from iTunes can be accessed using Senuti (not free). The combination of these 2 will get your music back.

  • HT4528 I synced my phone to get music on it and lost everything... my photos and contacts my apps even an album I bought- how do I get it back?

    Did you back them up with iCloud, or sync them to Photostream? If not, they are gone.

  • HT1495 My daughter synced her phone to her brothers itunes library, and her iphone now thinks its her brothers iphone.  How do I get it back to normal?

    My daughter synched her iphone5 to her brothers itunes library, and now her iphone is calling itself Kyles PC.  Along with all of his IDs and icloud.
    How do I get her iphone back to normal?  If I "restore" her ipohne will it delete the itunes library? 

    Restore the iPhone from the last backup taken on the machine it is normally sycned with. Before connecting the iPhone use Edit > Preferences > Devices to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically or there is the danger that the backup will be overwritten with the current state of the device.

  • My iTunes library is "damaged" and now thousands of songs are missing. How do I get them back without re-importing each one?

    I tried to open my library and it said the library had been corrupted and saved as a damaged file. When it finally opened thousands of songs were missing. I can't re-download and then re-import each of these songs. I tried to repair the library after going into programs and clicking repair but it did not restore the missing content. I have the lastest version of iTunes. With Apple tech support being a PITA to actually get in touch with I'm hoping someone here can help.

    send an email to the iTS customer service using this form and ask the folks there nicely if you can re-download the files.
    it has been reported here that you can sometimes get one free redownload request granted but never more than one.
    good luck !
