I recently downloaded my itunes to a harddrive device whilst my laptop was wiped and cleared of viruses, how do i get my itunes back? I have re downloaded itunes and signed in but none of my music is there.

I recently downloaded my itunes account to a hard drive whilst my laptop was wiped and cleared of viruses. Having now re downloaded itunes and logged into my account my music etc doesnt show.
When i download itunes from the hard drive and found it on my lap top its like code that doesnt make any sense.
Any help much appreciated?

Restore your media from the backup of the computer created prior to restoring the computer.
You did create a backup, correct?  Not doing so would be extremely unintelligent.
iOS devices are NOT backup devices.

    Don't downgrade OS X without first erasing the drive. You cannot restore a Time Machine backup of Lion directly on top of a later version of OS X such as Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
    When you "Restore from a Time Machine Backup.", the drive will be erased for you, but yes, won't hurt to:
    Boot into Recovery (hold ⌘R on boot)
    Utility->Disk Utility->Erase Macintosh HD, then Repair Macintosh HD
    Quit Disk Utility
    Then Select: Restore from a Time Machine Backup.

  • My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

    (IOS 7 update trouble) My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

    Find which screen, folder it was moved to, and hold down the icon until the icons start shaking. Then drag it to the left or right edge of the screen, and it will allow you to move it to which ever screen you want it. When you have it there, tap the Home button to stop the icons form shaking.
    Or do what hannahsage said above.

  • I hit Forget Network and now cannot get back onto my wireless home network. All of my other computers and iphones are fine.  How do I get the network back?  It shows in my list of networks but when I use the password and try to join it says not connected.

    See if the iPad will accept the password after you restart it. It's worth a try.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You could also try a reset as well.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

The only place i have the music is on my ipodm suppose to have around 50 of them and all my other music that i got from cd,s I do have all the music on my ipod but how do i get it all back into my itunes library.

    Was your backup copy of your copmputer stolen as well?
    If not, then use it top put everything back.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I get my playlists back onto my iphone after itunes match?

    just signed up for itunes match and all my original playlists (the ones I used to sync with my itunes on my computer) are gone.  How do i get these back on my iphone?

    Did you ever transfer your music purchases to your computer iTunes? If so, it is simple to use iTunes to replace the music on your iPod.
    If you only had your music on your iPod then it is lost. Purchased Apps, however, can be downloaded again at no charge from the App Store.

  • My iPhoto shows events but pictures have a gray triangle and exclamation point.  How do I get my pictures back?

    Hi, I noticed recently that when I am in iPhoto  on my macBook Pro that some of my old pictures are no longer showing up.  It happens alot with my pictures from 2013 and back but sporadically through 2014.  The events are all listed and it shows how many pictures should be there but once I enter an event instead of the individual thumbnails I see a black background with a triangle and an exclamation point.  I have tried to restore my iPhoto library from time machine and am either doing it wrong or possibly their is corruption there.  I am getting stressed because this is TONS of my pictures.  Can anyone help or offer any advice?  Thank you!

    This indicates a disconnect between the Thumbnail and the original
    this can be caused by two things
    1 - User action deleting items from inside the iPhoto  library - can be directly - can be from the All images list (never delete from there) - can be from running cleanup software like MacKeeer, CleanMac2  or other dangerous, defective software that improperly deletes or changes things in the iPhoto library - if you have done any of these things you must restore your backup from before you did them and damaged your iPhoto library - and I recommend getting rid of any "clean up software" ASAP (although being essentially MalWear it is not easy)
    2 - corruption of the iPhoto library - If it is not #1 then Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database

  • I lost my creative cloud apps from my computer when it crashed. I don't have the download link anymore just the serial # and registration date. How can I get my apps back?

    Hi, I'm new on the forum. I decided to try this since Adobe phone support has been abysmal. I purchased Adobe Creative Cloud, installed and registered it on Feb. 25 2013. Since then my computer crashed and I lost the programs and the link to download. I still have the serial # and the product shows up in my account under Registered Products. How can I get a download link?
    Any help appreciated,
    Bill

  • ITunes over charge my Debit card 27 time. In the amount $277.16 how do I get my money back

    iTunes over charge my debit card 27 time more in the amount of $277.16 how do I get my money back

    First, report the incorrect charges to the bank that issued your card as incorrect/fraudulent. Then contact the iTunes Store and explain the situation to them:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    If these charges were for apps you did not purchase rather than being billed multiple times for an app you did buy, you should also immediately change the password on your iTunes Store account.
    You may also want to just remove your debit card information from your account, at least until you get things sorted out. I usually recommend against using a debit card in any situation where it is stored in the online store for just this reason; should something go wrong or someone obtain access to your iTunes account, your bank account can be drained dry very quickly. If you don't have a credit card, I'd suggest purchasing and using prepaid iTunes cards. That limits the amount of damage any fraud or problem can do to you.

  • Updated iPad system how do I get my apps back onto my iPad from iTunes. Ikerfuffled here

    I just updated my iPad to IOS 5. How do I get my apps that were on my iPad back into it from iTunes? thank you for any help you may give me.

    Connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, select your iPad name on the left side of iTunes under "devices", click on the Apps tab in the window on the right, click on the sync apps heading, click sync or apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    After you sync the apps onto the iPad, you can choose to sync over WiFi. Click on the summary tab of iTunes and then click on the button - Sync this iPad over WiFi - then click apply in the lower right corner.
    You can sync automatically with iTunes over Wifi when the iPad is plugged into a power source, iTunes is running on your computer and the iPad is locked. You can sync manually as well in Settings>General>iTunes WiFi Sync - tap the arrow and then tap sync now in the next window

  • HT201263 I followed the safe mode restore steps but i open the phone, swipe to see - iPhone, then walks me through set up . I get to the choice - set up as new iPhone, back up iCloud or iTunes- I tried both and now many times- how do i get my phone back t

    First thing I noticed was that after every attempt to send a text, immediatly after tapping send I was flashed back to my home screen - no text saved or sent.  So I tried reset. I tried from icloud , but wouldnt work, just kept prompting me for apple id which I did w password but didn't reccognise it and so I went back and restored from itunes , plugged in and just keeps walking me thrigh the same set up steps.  I am really technologically challenged, clearly, and this gets more confusing because I also got a time machine and have been in the process of backing up my macbook pro and devices.  I have the ethernet cord plugged into my macbook and everything because I am affraid its not fully finished setting that whole time machine thing up.  Maybe when I had to set up my time capsule wifi name?  is this the reason my apple id isnt getting recognized?  I'm so frustrated and must have a working cell phone.  Plwasw will someone help this girl out??

    If the device is not being detected in iTunes, has a different USB port or sync cable been tried?  What about a reboot of the comptuer?
    As for pictures/videos taken with the device, they are designed to be copied to a computer on a regular basis.  Did you choose to not do this prior to attempting the update?  They may be lost at this point (although they should be in the backup, but no guarantees).
