I synched my iphone and lost some purchased songs and albums. what happened and how do i get them back?

just a minute ago i connected my iphone to itunes so that i could transfer some albums i've purchased recently. it started it's usual synching process and once it was finished i found i'd lost more than a few recently purchased albums. not sure why or anything but i want them back!! how do i do so? please help!!

You don't.  You buy one and only one download.  it is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use you backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • When new firefox kicked in I lost some of my apps on my tool bar how do i get them back? I lost ani weather, ant video downloader, and flash video downloader.

    when the new fire fox change kicked in I lost some of my add on apps such as ani weather, ant video down loader, and flash & video down loader, how do I get them back? I tried reinstalling them but they don't show up in the tool bar.

    Hi,
    I'm assuming all of your extensions were on the Add-on Bar. The Add-on Bar has been removed in Firefox 29<sub>[1]</sub> but you can get it back easily using an extension<sub>[2]</sub>

  • I switched to iPhone 5C and lost over 150 iTunes I've paid for! How do I get them back?

    Lost over 100 purchased iTunes when I switched to 5C from 4. How do I get them back?

    You sync your device to iTunes and resync the music.
    If the music is not in your iTunes library, log in with your Apple ID & password and download your past purchases, and then resync.
    Or, you can download previous iTunes purchases directly to your device, via wi-fi.

  • HT1451 I have lost about 500 songs from my i tunes library how can i get them back?

    new pc down loaded itunes connected ipode for new purchases 11/10 to snyth ended up with new songs
    and about 100 ofthe old ones  so lost about 5oo songs .
    do you have support store in the algarve as i am not technical

    Ideally you would have backed up your iTunes library from your old PC so that you could simply migrate the iTunes library into the new one. If you don't have access to the old hard drive or a backup see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Though it is probably too late to recover anything from the nano it should explain how to get anything from the iTunes store that you haven't already gone and has some useful tips should  you ever be in the same position again.

  • I have the latest version of iPhoto and now I don't have the Apple templates for emailing photos.  What happened?  How can I get them back?

    I have the latest version of iPhoto and somehow I have lost the ability to use the Apple iPhoto templates for emailing photos.  I select my photos, go to Share, go to email, and the templates used to pop up.  Now the photos go directly to email.  Does anyone know how I can get the templates back?

    I encountered the same issue after an upgrade of iPhoto, and it was resolved by clicking on the "iPhoto" button on the menu on the top left of your screen, then "preferences", and in the very first window (General), select the very last pull-down menu "email photos using".
    There, you can select various email providers, aol (if set-up), Microsoft outlook, etc... and of course, iPhoto (which should be the very first choice on the pull-down menu).
    Select iPhoto, and you will immediately be able to use the templates and make cool cards when emailing your photos from iPhoto.
    I hope this helps if your question has not yet been answered.

    Did you restore your phone with itunes or check new phone.  You can always reconnect with itunes and restore your phone to old settings and it should replace everything because it is on your computer

  • I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.

    I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.  Help!!

    joephilipose,
    If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
    You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

    Hope this helps,

  • I just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?

    I have an iphone and just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?? It's weird because it said with the upgrade your photos would be kept, but apps would be erased, yet my apps synced over and not my pictures...

    I have EXACTLY the same issue.  I would appreciate the response also.  Was not prepared for this.

    Tap the cloud symbol with the down arrow next to the songs you want to download.  You can also download an entire playlist by opening it, scrolling to the bottom and tapping Download All.  You can download an entire album by tapping the album, then tapping the download symbol at the top of the song list.  You can download an entire artist by doing the same thing after tapping the artist name.
    To save on your data plan, do this while your connected to wifi (and your charger to save battery).

    Your contacts should be available on your computer. Were the contacts lost in the address book on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone?

    Oh!
    First thing I think would be to do a search for the folder in case it's somehow got moved.
    Failing that, you can retrieve the folder from your original installer disc using Pacifist.
    Insert the disc (don't boot from it) and open the installer package with Pacifist. Navigate to the Desktop Pictures folder (might be a bit more fiddly to find in the package structure). When you find it, select the folder, right-click (or ctrl-click) and select 'install in default location' from the context menu.
    Exit Pacifist and eject the disc.
    Best of luck!
