I went over to iTunes Match and have lost about two thirds of my music collection. Can anyone help me get it back?

I recently decided to pay for iTunes Match to save memory space on my two iphones, where I have an extensive music collection, which was synced with an iPad and several MacBooks and a desktop. However I am really horrified that in so doing I seem to have lost two thirds of my music which has just disappeared, as well as my playlists.
I think I've lost at least 700 tracks.  I don't even know what I had. How can I get it back?
Please help.

Where these tracks also stored in iTunes before you turned on iTunes Match? If not you're going to need to re-download them from your purchase history in the iTunes Store since iTunes Match only matches music in the iTunes library.

    Through the headphones or through the speaker?
    Have you consistently played sound through the speaker at a high volume with a lot of bass?
    Have you tested it with multiple apps/songs/movies?

    Try connecting the device to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restoring it.  Use the instructions in this Apple support document to place the iPod into recovery mode.

  • I have lost my itunes icon from my desktop. I have recently downloaded windows 9 and thought maybe this had something to do with it. Can anyone help me get it back?

    I've lost my itunes icon from my desktop and can't see it anywhere else. I have recently upgraded to windows 9 and thought maybe this had something to do with it. Can anyone help please?

    Has iTunes been uninstalled or removed from you system?
    Is it no longer in the Start Menu or in Control Panel?
    What exactly was downloaded and installed?  There is no Windows 9, so it's not possible that it is installed on your computer.

  • I have lost all the pictures on Aperture.  What can I do to get them back?  I have not deleted anything.  Help!!!!

    I downloaded Aperture and transferred all pix from Iphoto.  Everything was on Aperture.  Suddenly I have lost all the pictures.  I have a handbook, etc., but to no avail.  Help!

    When this happens to a new user the two most likely causes are:
    Aperture opend a different library that is empty. To check this go to File->Switch to Library. You'll get a window that looks somehting like this:
    Of course the names for the libraries will be different. What does yours show? Is there more then one library listed. If you select Other/New you get this:
    The first library in the list is the currenttly opened Library. What does you window say?
         2. The other possibilty is that you have a filter set on the library keeping you from actually seeing the images           in it. Go to the Library tabb of the Inspector and select the Photos icon. Make sure the search box looks           like this:
    If neither of these two actions clear up your problem post back.

  • I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy.  Can anyone help

    I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

    Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

  • Where is iTunes Match content stored on apple TV? I recently joined itunes match and it is working on my ios devices, but I can't find my music on Apple TV

    Where is iTunes Match content stored on apple TV? I recently joined itunes match and it is working on my ios devices, but I can't find my uploaded music on Apple TV

    It isn't actually stored anywhere, it needs to be downloaded from the internet before any content can be played.
    iTunes Match content is accessed through the 'Music' icon on the main screen though, it needs turning on though in settings first.

    This solved everything, after uninstalling IObit Advanced SystemCare iTunes would open with Bonjour enabled however iTunes wouldn't pick up the iPhone device. I did some more digging and a few of their other applications had been installed including Game Booster. Uninstalling that put everything back to normal.
    I have been given a new device by Apple who were really helpful and the guys have neever seen the docking connector disabling before. Coinsidence?
    Anyway in case this helps other people these were the symptoms (might help with searches):
    - Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
    - iTunes 10 wouldn't open originally, just egg timer then nothing yet processes all started
    - Docking connector died on the device, wouldn't even trigger a standard USB connection or light up the device
    - Uninstalling iTunes etc didn't change anything
    - Disabling Bonjour worked but iTunes extremely unstable, seems frozen when syncing and the sync itself, especially with app transfer, was extremely slow and the other buttons were unresponsive after clicking for two minutes before screen would change
    Have sent feedback to IObit about this to see if there isn't something that can be done.
    Fantastic assistance and an incredible spot from b noir. If you come to the UK you need to drop me an email as I owe you a night out on the town!

    Take a look here; it should help:
    iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
    Though it refers to items purchased from the iTunes Store, it applies to all your iTunes content. And if you happen to also own an iPod:
    How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    Once you have the tracks on some removable medium, you can mount that on your new computer and then just drag the content to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced -> General preferences before you do. Alternatively, you can use the Add To Library command and select each track (or folder of tracks).
    If you won't be using that Windows system once you move the content, don't forget to deauthorize the system from your iTunes Store account before you dispose of the computer.
