Itunes back up lost?

I just got a new iphone because the sleep button on my old one didnt work. I backed up my old phone to my computer before I switched phones. While I was restoring the phone my daughter disconnected it. Is all my information gone? is there a way I can restore it to a previous back up date?

Plug it back in and restore it again.

How do I get my itune purchases back. Lost them due to corrupted program or file, then computer, acer laptop crashed. I have a desktop computer and would like to put my purchases on it.

My laptop-acer-crashed. Before it crashed, my audio started to act up, It would work then silence. Then my tv shows which I purchased in itunes would freeze up then start, freeze again then played. It got to the point that I could not even play my shows or movies. Then my computer crashed, seen the famous blue screen. Restarted the computer and did a full scan for programs and files. Found 2 files for removal, so I did that, but it still crashes. Now I can't do anything on it. I can't even get into moxilla to google anything. Laptop is useless. It would cost alot to fix it and my itunes library is lost anyways.
So I would like my purchases back so I can get them on my desktop. I've spent
alot of money on itunes cards to purchase these lost items. So is my itunes library lost forever or is there a way to get them back.

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

Seems like the iTunes app has lost most of my music. How can I get my music back?

A new version shouldn't do that but it does seem to happen on occasion to a few unlucky ones. Restore your library from the backup you make of your computer before you install new software. If you don't have one, this is a learning experience.
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

how to get back music lost while syncing to itunes?

If the music you lost during the sync process is no longer on the iPod, in your iTunes library, or in a backup elsewhere, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
You may be able to redownload any lost purchases via iCloud (pending you live in a country where iCloud has gone live).
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I don't understand this answer. What do you mean " your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have selected to sync."? The address book is created on the phone not in Itunes or any other program/service. When Itunes says backing up phone I have to assume it backs up everything on the phone. Most of what's on my phone does not come out of itunes. I download apps directly on the phone. When the software updates it does not bring those apps back. I have to go into the appstore and install them all over again. Itunes music library syncs with whatever is on the device your linked up to BUT the phone book just dissappears after you update the phone. There is no way to save it anywhere else.

I connected my iphone to the computer to charge it and itunes backed it up with an old version of my ipod so I lost all my photographs. Is there any way I can get them back?

Seems that you can no longer hide them on your phone. Try doing so in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

From your backup on your computer or iCloud. If you purchased the songs using iTunes store, you can redownload at no charge.

I have updated my iPhone to iOS6.1.3 today and lost all my photos and some data(messageies) I have tried iTunes back up but still not success, please help.

If your messages and photos weren't part of your backup, then they're gone.
Certainly you weren't foolish enough to update the iOS on your phone before importing your photos off your phone for safe keeping on your computer like you would do with any digital camera, were you?

HT4914 When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;

Now updated my iphone4 to latest ios5, got my apps back but lost all of my itunes music!

had to add my iphone4 to a new laptop just updated to latest software ios5, got my apps back but lost all of my music and it won't let me add any to it. it says my music is synced to another itunes library and do i want to delete this and sync to a new one?? does this mean i have lost everything?

The iPhone BY DESIGN will only synch to ONE iTunes library at a time. If you attempt to synch to a new computer, it will wipe all the iTunes data off your phone and replace it with what is currently on the new computer. There is no way around this.
If you don't want to lose music, videos, etc., then you need to copy your old iTunes library to your NEW computer before synching the iPhone to the new computer.

I still have my iPod Nano 3rd generation, but my old computer crashed and I did not have itunes backed up, so I lost my library. Is there a way to get the songs from my old ipod to new computer library and then on to the new ipod?

Save all the photos from your Droid into a folder on your computer.
Connect your device to your computer. On iTunes left Pane, select iPhone under 'Devices'; then on the right Pane, select PHOTO tab. Make sure Sync Photo box is checked, and "from" box selected the folder that has Droid's photos. Then click the SYNC or APPLY button on the lower right window.

HT1766 I am trying to restore a new replacement phone from an icloud backup but it is telling me there is a problem with backup data. The backup was done under 7.1 and I think the new phone still just has 7.04. My itunes backup was lost last week...sugges

I am trying to restore from icloud but it appears the 7.1 it was backed up in and the 7.04 on the new phone won't allow it. My itunes library was lost last week due to computer crashing and having to be restored. I have a clean very current icloud back up done on March 21st but I cant seem to get it there. Suggestions please?

You will have to update the iPhone to iOS 7.1 if that is the iOS the backup was done in. You cannot restore a newer iOS update to a phone with older iOS. Once you update the phone, you will be able to restore the backup.

I dragged my ext. HD iTunes backed up folder into my new mac. Now there are duplicates of every song!! The problem is both versions seem to actually BE there when I check the info. Now I have no idea if iTunes is playing the files in the trash or not

Hi. I'm in a situation here and would really welcome some guidance. I dragged my ext. HD iTunes backed up folder into my new mac. Now there are duplicates of every song. Both versions seem to actually BE there when I check the info. So, I moved what I thought were duplicates into the trash from iTunes, and resigned myself to the fact that I would have to do this manually for each album. I did this with about 10 albums. I emptied the trash and lost them even though they still LOOKED like they were in iTunes. I repeated the process tonight on a bunch of other albums not realizing yet that I had screwed up terribly the first time. This time I saw what had happened and pulled the files out of the trash, onto my desktop and dragged them back into iTunes, then deleted the duplicate files that had exclamation points next to them. Now I have no idea if iTunes is playing duplicate files from the trash or not, and am nervous about emptying the trash. Anyone dealt with this before? Thank you
