I-tunes -lost music and video files

can you download your purchases from i-tunes again...

Just use your back up. This is why it is fundamental to maintain a back up.
Have you failed to maintain a back up?
You can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod - File>Transfer Purchases
From the itunes store terms of service:
" PRODUCTS CAN ONLY BE DOWNLOADED ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM"

NOT ABLE TO IMPORT MUSIC AND VIDEO FILES FROM IPOD TO COMPUTER/ITUNES LIBRARY !!!!

Hi.... I am having IPod Nano 5th Generation. I can access music and video files (that are stored in Ipod memory) in Ipod. But when I connect the ipod to computer, I am not able to access/import these music and video files through computer. Also, I am not able to see any folders like DCIM, Contacts, etc... in the memory of IPod. Can any body help me out... ?

Search it up on google.com. There's a lot of apps that will help you do this. Check out this one:

I tried the import software (trial version) and it was fine but I didn't want to pay for software. You can authorize up to 5 computers in the house to access your iTunes music and other iTunes purchases. Open iTunes, you can go under Store and select Authoize this computer.
Good luck!

Putting music and video files that I purchased from iTunes onto the creative z

For my birthday i got a itunes gift card and i bought music and video files with it but when i import it i cant find the music files in the folders they should be and the video need a directshow codec on the zen vision m so how do i put the codec on it and find all the purchased files?I need these files on my zen!

Find that sadistic friend of yours who bought you the gift card and beat him into submission with a dead trout.
Seriously, due to iTunes' file being locked with DRM and being in a format that is incompatible with the Zen, the only thing you could do is look for underground/illegal methods to remove the DRM and convert the file into unprotected MP3. Due to the illegality of the issue, I cannot provide instructions (that, and the fact that iTunes won't let me buy music from them because Malaysian money isn't good enough for them, therefore I haven't actually tried). But I can say that What-U-Hear is a pretty innovati've solution . Apart from that, Google is your friend.Message Edited by RAMChYLD on 09-02-2007:59 PM

Just updated my OS to os5...why did all of my music and video file turn into an "other" file and how do I fix it?

I just updated to OS5 and all of my video and music files are gone and now I have an inaccessible "other" file about the size of the of the old music and video files. When I go to sync music files in itunes they never show up on the phone. Help!

Never mind. Just read some similar questions and tried restoring it to backed up version and now everything seems to be working. What a relief!

Can I use time capsule to store music and video files as well as use it to back up.

Can I use time capsule to store music and video files as well as use it to back up.

Sure.
Why are so many peolple asking this?
Just store your files there.
And when using Time-Maschine for the back-up select the Time-Capsule (whatever name your has) as the place to store the date.
cheers, anne

Backup + lost music and videos

I just purchased and installed the 2.0 software upgrade and lost all of my music and videos from my iPod Touch. I was under the impression that the backup that it performed was actually backing up what was on my iPod and that I wasn't actually going to lose everything. Did I completely misunderstand what was going on? Some of the songs and videos that I had on my iPod are on an external hard drive that has been corrupted and I don't know if I'll be able to even save them. I'd like to think that I haven't completely lost everything. Is there someway to access this "backup" that was performed? I'd like to think I didn't just pay ten dollars to wipe out my ipod.

Unfortunately, you pretty much paid $10 to wipe out your iPod. From what I have heard on these boards, the people who did get everything back during the restore were those folks who had all of their media in their local iTunes. Folks like you and me who had content on our iPods that was NOT in the local iTunes did not get back any media during the restore.
For us, the backup only backed up settings, notes, that sort of stuff. Did you get back your settings, at least? If you did, then I would say there's no way to get back the music. However, if you didn't get back anything - no notes, settings, bookmarks, etc - then maybe the restore didn't use your backup for some reason, and it's possible to find that backup and re-restore with it. Hopefully someone else can answer that bit for you, as I'm not sure how to select a specific backup to use for a restore. I know it's been posted about on here, though, in the past couple of weeks.

How can I play music and video files in Solaris 10?

Hi all. I just downloaded Solaris 10 and installed it. I haven't used it for a long time (since version 8), and as I can see now, there are many improvements. I just loved Java Desktop! :)
Can someone please tell me what libs or codecs etc, do I have to download and install in order to play music and videos (mp3, wmv, dvd etc), and where I can find them?
I use the on-boaad sound system (Realtek AC97)
Thank you all.

You didn't mention if the sound drivers are working. If not, download and install the driver from here and reboot (it supports your codec):

For players, see my FAQ:

DVDs are more of a problem because of DCIMA. Look around.

Lost music and video after updating podcasts

For some reason all the music and videos on my iPod have disappeared, or I should say become inaccessible as it says I have none but the space they were taking up
is still in use, so they are somewhere on my iPod.
I was downloading a few new podcasts via a wi-fi connection and afterwards it "updated" my library and then the music and videos were gone (podcasts remained)
Help!

Have you reset your iPod?
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doe snot work I would next try resyncing.

Lost music and videos

Some of my music and all of my purchased items [videos,podcasts,songs] were erased somehow. Is there any way to get them back? If so, how?

Every time you download music from the iTunes store Apple have to pay the artist royalties, so the official stance from Apple is that purchases from the iTunes music store can only be downloaded one time. Then, you must pay again.
*This is why you are prompted to back this music up to a cd or dvd* (which I assume you didn't do).
Some people say that they've been allowed a re-download for various reasons when they've contacted Apple.
You can only ask but please be aware that Apple are not obligated to do this for you.

Lost playlists, music and video

When I connected my 1g Itouch to my computer today, none of my playlists or music registered. I disconnected it and tried to access them on the itouch and found that nothing is found despite the fact that itunes is still showing that the disk space is still being used, although instead of it being marked down as music or video on the summary, it is down as 'other' and I cannot access it. My apps are all still working fine, but I was wondering if there was a way that I could either restore my music and video files so that they are acessible, or, at the very least, a way of removing the items to reinstall without having to reset the whole player.
If I have to restore the itouch to factory settings, would that mean I would have to pay again to get the 2.2 update?
Thanks for any help.

I think restoring the device is your only option. And you don't have to pay for the 2.0 update again as long as you use the same computer that you brought the app from to restore your iPod. You can try to reset the iPod but I doubt that will help much. To reset hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until the  logo appears (ignore the turning off option).

How do i share media (music and videos) between all of my devices?

i currently have (and attempt to use as much as possible) the following devices: macbook pro 15", ipad 4, iphone 6 plus 64 GB, and appletv 2.
i would love it if these devices would talk to each other correctly. first came the macbook, and i took an internal 2 tb drive cannibalized from my previous pc and transformed it into an external. that drive is desinated as my media drive, it includes all of my video and music. the macbook and the appletv talk to each other flawlessly. every music and video file on that drive is accesible to me using apple tv.
next up is the ipad, which includes some of my videos (movies), but no tv shows. music also does not show up, only options to buy from the store. but i already have a music library that includes many songs downloaded from the store that dont show up, only some stupid U2 album that i never downloaded.
finally, we get to the iphone, which i just got. i get no shared music or videos here at all.
by the way, all settings are set to share with each device in settings and itunes. each device talks to one another. i know this because there is some level of sharing on each device (ie ipad gets videos, iphone shares spreadsheets and other productivity files. appletv shares everything. i now want to sync these devices so that they can share the same data while on the same home network. i should be able to do this, right?
also, i know that i can airdrop/transfer but thats not really what im looking to do atm.
thanks

im more than a little disappointed here. can anyone recommend another forum please?

How to copy an Excel, Word, music or video file from my Windows computer to iphone 4s?

I am using my new iphone 4s for 2 weeks now. I am not able to copy my favourite old music and video files and some useful Excel, Word and Pdf files from my Sony Vaio. Why doesn't it allow for copy paste when it is connected to my laptop by USB cable? Moreover it doesn't accept Bluetooth connection from my computer as well. Then I tried emailing the file, but it doesn't download the file, instead makes a link in the homescreen and for opening the file, I have to connect to the inernet.
I don't know what is happening with this phone. These are the basic things which a user wants in any phone. If it is not allowing for these things despite all that hypes and fame sorrounding it, it is a pretty useless thing. So is there any option to copy the files onto it? Thank you in advance.

Something doesnt quite sound right here, firstly an iPhone isnt a media storage device so you cant simply move files to it, you need to use an App such as Documentd to Go or cloud storage such as Drop Box or Sky drive to store the documents then you will be able to View them from your phone.
Emailing them is another option and this works fine for all the people i know, for pdf, excel, word and txt documents and most common files but again this is view only.
Apple have their our apps, Pages, Numbers etc which also uses the cloud to store the documents which can then be accessed from any ios device or mac etc.
Finally as mentioned above, music and video's are managed through iTunes, using Apple products means you need to use the tools offerred by Apple to get best use of the device, thats just the way it is with Apple.
