It should ne in itunes on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then - in the U.S only - you can get previous itunes purchases from the beta version of icloud. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

after installing mountain lion I lost pictures in iphoto, lost my musisc in itunes, my icluod is not working, internet its very slow and some other issues. There is a way how to fix these issues

Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Photo Stream then reselect it.
Now for your music. Launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click iTunes > Preferences then select the Store tab.
Select: Music. (and Apps and Books) if you want.
Click OK.
iCloud syncs via your Wi-Fi network so give it a minute or two to reset your photos and music.
Slow internet ... try turning off the modem for a few minutes, then turn it back on.

I have double IDs for Itunes. How can I delete one without losing my music. Also, I want to synce my new desktop computer with my older i4s. All devices are registered to do so. However, last time I tried I almost lost all music and Itunes BARELY supp

I have double ID's for Itunes. How can I keep all my music and get rid of the ID that I do not want. It was an issue when I tried to transfer music .. I contacted Itunes and they BARELY helped me get the music back. They also would only allow me to chose one ID to replenish the music (wich was lost) to my new device. So, I chose the ID that showed more music. I am irritated that I still have 2 ID's and can't really figure out why they both have the same music. Oldest to newest purchases are shown on both id's. Also, I am afraid to sync now because they told me it was a one time deal. When docked my phone to my new computer all of the music is shown on my computer now. However not on my I phone.

I had the same problem. I solved by (I use Windows7, should be same for OSX):
1. copying the library from the older computer to the new computer, at the usual itunes media location.
2. on new computer's itunes preference (advance), uncheck the box "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library"
3. open up this folder of media copied over from old computer, just drag over to itunes library, cursor will turn into plus sign.
4. since you unchecked the box for "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library", you are in effect only growring the new computer's itunes library's database. Your media files are already under the folder on the new computer.
Now when you connect iphone to this new computer and tells you it wants to erase your iphone's library in order to sync with this one, go ahead, click yes. Why is this ok now? Because you've copied all your files over to the new computer. So when you sync again, your existing files are there on the new computer.
You should export play lists on the older computer to be imported on the new computer though.

I have lost purchased music from itunes when I reset my ipod

I recently reset my ipod due to a software issue. As my laptop with all my songs which I had purchased from itunes is no longer with me, i can not reload those songs.
Will iTunes be able to resend those songs to me that I had bought from iTunes or atleast give me the same credit so that I can go back to the store and buy them again?

The policy on lost songs is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage."
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download however they are not under any obligation to do so.

HT1483 lost my music on itunes

i was trying to get music of my phone 7 onto my itunes account , i could't seem to do it but somehow lost all my music off my phone , how can i get it back ?

If the music is no longer on the phone there is nothing to get off the phone.
Why is the music not in iTunes on the computer to begin with?
If this is a new computer, move all the media from the old computer to the new computer.

Daughter IPOD Touch 4th lost all music from itunes, Itunes suggested to restore to factory settings. Have done so last few days, all showing 20 hours to restore then times out and starts back to 20 hours again. Will not sync at all. HELP

IPOD TOUCH(4th gen) MUSIC DISPLAY has wiped out all my music. The music I have is all still on ITUNES but will NOT SYNC. When attempted a displayes message appeared- Cannot read contents of IPOD (my IPOD name), go to Summary tab to Restore to factory settings. When I click OK it takes me to a CLICK on RESTORE OPTION, which I did. Then it explains that I will lose all APPS, etc.. to restore. I clicked OK again and it shows my IPOD is Downloading Software Update. The only thing being it has done this for 3 days now. It starts by stating will take 20 hours, goes down to 12 or 10 and prompts OUT and when I redo the thing again it starts back up at 20 hours but continually times out. *Also, in case it matters ,the SYNC option on my IPOD in ITUNES is Highlighted as to where I cannot use that option. Everytime I start it back up I get the same message (Cannot read contents of IPOD, go to Summary Tab,etc..) Help.

Lost my music in iTunes. . .but not on the iPod or from the HDD

Recently, I installed a separate physical HDD into my PC which will be dedicated to my iTunes/iPod content. When I did this I navigated within iTunes to Edit/Preferences/<Advanced> tab/"iTunes Music Folder location" and changed the path to the new volume that I had for the dedicated HDD (F:/iTunes/iTunes Music). After a week or so of this seemingly working properly, I then felt safe to delete the iTunes Music folder that I had on my C:/ drive within My Documents/My Music/iTunes.
Today, when I launched iTunes, all the music that I had ripped from my Cd collection plus the few downloads that I purchased were gone from my music library within the application and I got the following message. . .
The iPod is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?
An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and synching replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library.
The good news is that all of my data is still on the iPod and the physical HDD. When I got this message and selected <Transfer Purchases> I got back into the application's Music Library the 5 or so songs that I have bought from iTunes. I still do not have the 700 or so songs that I ripped from my CD's in the application Music Library however and I am still getting this message along with an option to "Erase and Sync", which sounds like something thatI do not want to do. The iPod is now intact and disconnected from my PC.
The iTunes folder on my C: drive still has an <iTunes Music Library.xml> file along with an <iTunes Library.itl> file. Could this be causing the confusion?
Also within Edit/Preferences/<Advanced> tab/"iTunes Music Folder location", the options for <Keep iTunes Music Folder organized> and <Copy Files to iTunes Music Folder When Adding To Library> are both unchecked. Things were working fine I guess with it that way but it sounds to me that I should have those checked?
I need some advice it seems. Does anyone know what the heck is happening here?

An iPod does not show in finder.

Lost my music after iTunes sync

iPhone 6 - 128gb iOS 8.2
iTunes 12.1.0.50
MacPro 2009 - OSX 10.10.2
Yesterday, i plugged in my iPhone to my computer to add some new music that I purchased (though bandcamp, not iTunes, added manually to iTunes after download). My iPhone is setup to backup automatically to iCloud and set to sync automatically when connected. I have "Manually manage music and videos" checked as my music collection is too big to fit on my iPhone and I don't want my entire collection on there anyways. As per usual, I dragged the new albums from my music collection to the iPhone. After that was completed, I left for work, only to notice that I only had the new albums that I just added, plus a few random albums, which mostly look like they were purchased from iTunes. In total, I had 96 tracks of music on my iPhone, when I previously had over 6000. Today, I plugged my iPhone back into my computer, In the iPhone summary page, the indicator bar at the bottom still says have 45gb of music on my iPhone, and when I click on the Music tab under "On My Device" all the songs and playlists are there, not greyed out, with not sync icon beside them or exclamation mark. They look as normal as if there were on my iPhone. When I go to the settings on my iPhone, it indicates that i only have those 96 tracks. I deleted all the music from my iPhone, but I can't sync what iTunes says it already on my iPhone. ***?
I've done some searching online, but I can't find anyone that has had this exact same problem with same setup. I've read about the duplicate song problem, but that doesn't look like the problem. I really don't want to sit here and have to go through my entire music collection again and drag over the albums that I want.

You're not alone - many reports of the same issue - just spread across many threads. I keep checking in hopeful someone found a solution.

How to use multiple iDevices with one computer

Help, I lost my music using Itunes Match. I was trying to add to a new computer.

I must have misunderstood what the cloud could do. I gave it the go ahead and it did not take what was on my phone or ipad and put it into my computer. Instead, the small amount on the computer replaced everything on the two devices. I now have paid $24.99 for a service that did the opposite of what I needed to have done.

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
Help

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.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/printers.html
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?

Completely Lost my music

Guys,
My apologies if this has been posted already. I've had to do a complete reinstall of windows and thought that I had backed up itunes. When I had finished, I found that I hadn't and thus lost all my music (all 16gb of it!). I have no problems about the cds I have here but I've also lost my music from itunes. Is there any way of getting this back, or is it gone for good?
Cheers
Mark.

Do you mean that you lost music purchased from the iTunes Store? If you didn't make a back-up of your music/movie purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Products may only be downloaded once; after being downloaded, they cannot be replaced if lost for any reason. Once a Product is purchased or rented (as applicable) and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage" iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support
If you have an iPod that still has any of your purchases on it you'll find details in this article on how to transfer them to the computer: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
