ITunes cannot find my music files and I do not have the the files on my computer

My sister got a new computer and put music files from old iTunes onto external hard drive and then put it directly into iTunes library on new computer. The music from old computer and hard drive got deleted. She synced her iPod with iTunes. Come to find out after the sync she only had 20 songs on her iPod because iTunes cond not find the original files for the 1200 other songs. Now she only has the 20 songs on her iPod and the other 1200 in iTunes won't play and have the exclamation mark next to them. She cannot locate them because she deleted them from the old computer and the hard drive. Is there anything she can do to fix it??? Please and thank you !

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • How do i recover music from old computer. its broken and i did not have the music backed up on any other hard drive.

    how do i recover music from old computer. its broken and i did not have the music backed up on any other hard drive.

    OK, well, seems like you need to lose the attitude if you really want help.
    There are several ways to get music from iTunes on your computer to your device.
    The easiest is to sync directly with iTunes by connecting your device to your computer, selecting the device, setting up your Profile pages, and then clicking the Sync button to sync.
    First you want to open iTunes and under Preferences>Devices, make sure that you are not syncing automatically:
    Make sure that box is checked.
    Then follow the instructions in the article below for either your computer or your Mac to set up your Profile pages and to sync your music via iTunes:
    WINDOWS IOS SYNC ITUNES 11
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    You can also directly download music from iTunes to your device by going to the iTunes icon, going to "Purchased", and selecting the items that are not on your device that show a little cloud next to them. Click on the cloud and the music will download.
    You might also want to familiarize yourself with your iPhone 5 manual. It has all the answers you cannot find on Google or by trying to just do it by brute force. If you would take a little time to read about your device and how to use it, you might not be so frustruated and unnecessarily snarky to people who are trying to help:

    David Franklin if the download was previously available under your account then please contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care.  If still available then the software can be re-enabled for download.
    Once you have downloaded a copy of the installation files I would recommend making a back up in case you ever need the installation files in the future.

  • "iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone. You do not have permission."

    Why am I getting a "iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone. You do not have permission." error after I just activated my new iPhone 4? Anything will help. Thanks.

    Did you resolve this yet? It took me 3 hours on the phone with support over 2 sessions, but they found the solution.
    From the Finder menu:
    Go/Go to Folder...
    Enter: var/db/lockdown
    Select everything in folder and delete
    Restart computer
    Launch iTunes and plug in phone. It should work (that's what did it for us).
    Good luck.

  • How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

    How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

    Does OpenOffice output Word documents by default or do you have to select it manually?
    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

  • I have lost my iPad 3 (3G). I do not use iCloud and I do not have the 'Find my iPad' app installed. What can I do to find it? Is there another way to bring up a map of where it is?

    I do not use iCloud and I do not have the 'Find my iPad' app installed. What can I do to find it? Is there another way to bring up a map of where it is?
    I dont know the opperating system but I only got it recently...
    I also have a mac book pro also without iCloud.

    Without Find My iPad having been enabled on it then there isn't any way to locate it - and that would only work if it's connected to a network and hasn't been wiped or had Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also contact your carrier and change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • I don´t find my iPod Touch, and I don´t have the iCloud thing, what should I do to find it?' =/

    Hey! My iPod is lost =( The caractheristics of it are: black iPod, blue case, and the home button doesn´t work, please, if you have it, please tell me

    Hi Cynthia,
    If you did not have Find My iPod enabled, and you do not have iCloud, then you cannot track it. You can report it to the police, you should change your AppleID password, and then all you can do is old fashioned detective work - start with the last place you remember having it, and check every place in between that point and now....
    Sorry you lost your iPod - hope you find it!
    Cheers,

  • HT4009 I let a child use my iPod and she purchased a lot of doeses for idoser and I did not have the money on my card. Now I can't download anything at all without using a new credit card or paying for it. How do I cancel it

    I let a child use my iPod and she purchased a lot of doeses for idoser and I did not have the money on my card. Now I can't download anything at all without using a new credit card or paying for it. How do I cancel it

    First, to prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your iPod. You may also want to turn off the ability to install apps, to prevent purchases in case the child gets hold of your iTunes Store account information, and set the password to be required immediately. For more information, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
    As to a refund, that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases by children. No guarantees, though, just as if your child was in a store and ate a bunch of food (in other words, something that can't just be returned).
    Good luck.
