Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Connected to iTunes and lost all music and random new songs were added but I can't delete them
I connected my iPod into Itunes (Windows not Mac) and for some reason all my music were deleted. I synched my music again and the default songs that are aready on iTunes were added in my iPod. I can't even delete the default songs now.. Help...
If copying the files took a suspiciously shoort time, are you sure that they were copied?
If you do not have "Copy to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" checked in Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced>>General, then files are left where they are and their loaction is stored in the library.
If this is what happened, your music would play when the external drive is plugged in, but not when it isn't.
If you find this is what happened, you can simply consolidate your library when the external drive is plugged in. (Advanced menu).
This copies files that are not in the iTunes Music folder into it. -

Compaq computer crashed and lost all music that was on the computer. How would I go about getting a listing of all purchased items and download them again? I know when i first got set up it said I could download up to 2 times when purchased and I have only downloaded once. But need a listing of songs as well.
One thing that I also recommend in the future is to back your iTunes library up relatively regularly. You can get your purchases in the cloud just fine, typically, but at the very least, it will save some time by backing it up.

when I try to turn on my ipod touch I get a picture of a cracked apple and then a picture of a cable arrowed to the iTunes logo. I cannot do anything else. My computer now doesn't recognize the ipod and it looks like I lost all music and pictures. help!
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My daugther' iphone apple id is under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id. My wife now has an ipad and I am looking at using the existing id during set up? Thus, I would like to establish new apple id for daughter, associated to her email account, however I do not want to lose or share her music/photos, nor share with my wife's id. Is this possible, or is it best just to establish a new id for my wife, and then change the email address associated with the existing apple id?
well if you establish a new apple id for your wife that would be best unless you email all of the existing photos to your email and then when you have established a new id then you log into your email on the new id and save all of your pics onto it by pressing on tthe pic for about 5-8 seconds then options will come up and you press the save to my album ..as for the music if you can copy and paste, through computer, the songs then awesome!

I just bought an iTunes card yesterday and redeemed it, but everytime I try to buy this one album, it says I have insufficient store credit. Which I most definitely do not.
Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance. Only they will know why for certain.

IBook tuned itself off and deleted all music and some programs
My brother has my old iBook G4 and ealier it when he put it to sleep it turned itself off and deleted his music and a few programs. Is there any way to get those things back?
Hi weazle,
I suspect that he may have changed the name of his 'home' folder. Maybe it was in your name and he thought he'd change it to his?

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. -
HELP! I changed my desktop photo and lost all photos and music!
I swear, all i did was put a pretty picture of lightening (that was in Apple's list of stock photos to choose from BTW!) on my desktop. It might as well have been real lightening because iPhoto doesn't have any of my pictures in it and iTunes doesn't have any of my music. When I open these folders, I can find the content there, but why did it disappear from the programs AND if I change my desktop back, will the pics/tunes come back?!?! I can live without the photos but the music and movies!!!! I have it all on my iPhone but now I am afraid to "sync" it to my computer.
Perhaps something easy like "import"?Well, I ended up just dragging and dropping my music back into iTunes and it recopied them but all playlists are gone... oh well. As far as I can tell, all purchased music is there as well.
As far as the photos, I can see and open them in the pictures file (with the album titles and all) with Preview, but I tried to drag and drop those as well, but it was saying there was an error and it couldn't read them or something like that. I know, I should have written the error message down... rookie mistake. Just to test, I tried to upload a picture from the folder to a website, but when I went to browse for the picture it didn't recognize any of them.
I also repaired permissions (there were alot!) a couple of times until there were none. That didn't seem to work... I am so frustrated. They are all there on the hard drive but they wont go into iPhoto.
I think the worst part is... why did this happen and what to avoid so it won't happen again. I can't believe it is just because I changed the background on my desk top. After I did it, many of my regular sites like webmail didn't recognize me when I visited and I had to answer a bunch of my security questions again. Its as if they don't recognize this is the same computer just because it has a different screen saver!!! If all this really is because of that, it is a major design flaw. Why put the option to change if it is going to throw the whole system into a tailspin?
I am sure it is something I did wrong... just venting.
Anyway, how to get the photos imported back into iPhoto... any more ideas? -
Updated Ipod and lost all music
Has anyone else recently update an Ipod touch using Itunes and then lost all your music? That is what happened to my daughter's. We updated to version 4.21 and all music was wiped out. Didn't have all the music in our Itunes library so can't get it all back. Anyone have a solution or is it gone for good?
Music is always synced to the iPod from the iTunes libray after a restore or update. It is not part of the backup that is made as the first step of a sync and update. Therefore, if you update an iPod and the music (and apps) that are on the iPod are not in the iTunes library, the updated iPod will not have that music or apps.
If you are in the USA and using the latest iTunes, you can redownload iTunes purchased music by:

HT1766 Having updated to IOS 6 and lost all music
Having updated to IOS 6 on my phone all my music and pods are gone and I, or rather iTunes, fail to sync new ones. It is with sadness I see that the VERY handy gadget I had is gone. What options do I have? At the moment, buy another phone with Android? Sync with Linux? Since the WiFi and other net facilities work lousy where I am, I cannot use iCloud and with this experience I doubt I would like to.

Upgraded phone and lost all apps and music
i upgraded via my pc to the 5.0 and now i have lost all of my apps and my extensive music library. does anyone know how i can restore my info?
If you didn't encrypt your backup and it still requires a password it sounds like your backup is corrupted.
Aren't your apps and music still in itunes? I don't understand why you can't just resync.
