ITunes crashed and I lost my downloaded games
I upgraded to iTunes 7 on my iMac and downloaded a game.
I never got it to my ipod before the application crashed and now it no longer appears in my iTunes library.
What can I do?
I have same problem. Bought a game, downloaded it to my mac - it showed up for about two seconds in Itunes and then Itunes crashed and the game disappeared.
I cannot sync my Itunes properly anymore. Songs and photos sync ok, but then it locks up!
Anyone know a fix?

HT203167 My computer crashed and I lost all downloads. How do I recover them?
My computer ceased functioning. When I had it repaired and reinstalled iTunes, most of my music was gone as well as the movie Forks Over Knives that I just purchased. How do I recover them?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive. I have downloaded the Itunes on my new computer. I am afraid to sync my I phone as I don't want to loose everything on it and my I Tunes is blank - not what I had previously. ???? Can someone advise?
Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar. Then, use iTunes File menu > Transfer Purchases from XXX's iPhone. This will transfer your purchased items.
For your other stuff you will need a 3rd party utility. Find discussion of them here
Unlike music and video purchases, iTunes Store Apps can be downloaded again without charge. This explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 -
My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library, On my new computer I downloaded iTunes and some of my songs were there. Although I lost my movies that I had purchases on iTunes, which of course cost quite a lot. How can I go about getting these back?

My old Computer crashed and I lost my old library of recorded CD's and tunes. iTunes says I must delete everything off my iPod in order to add a new CD. It also said I already have an account which I was able to locate. I don't know how to get into my old account. I think that would solve everything. I have Windows XP. I'd appreciate any input.
No.
All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
The same applies here. -
My computer crashed and I lost all the info on itunes, I have 2 ipods and an ipad, the compute is back up now bu no itunes, if I try to sync the devises now, will they loose the info on them or will it transfer back to the computer?
Bye default, itunes will want to delete whats on your devices
iTunes will only let you sync to one library at a time, if you get this warning message, follow this:

My hard cdrive crashed and I lost everything. No Music library back up. Does Itunes have my music on their Server? If so how can I get it back?
You can re-download everything you already bought, if you remember what it was, and you won't have to pay again. This assumes the music you purchased is still available for download.
Other than iCloud backup, which does not store your non-iTunes purchased music anyway, that is all there is.
From iCloud: Backup and restore overview:
The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:
Music, movies and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store -
My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone. If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone. Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes?
Thanks, but ringtones not purchased from iTunes, created them just before computer crashed.just before the next scheduled biweekly backup.
I found and downloaded TouchCopy 12 for PC and was able to copy the ringtones from my iPhone to my Windows laptop very easily. It also enables you to transfer photos, memos, voice messages, etc. -
my computer crashed and I lost all but 2 albums in itunes. Is there a way to get into my old libruary? I have my tunes on my ipod.
Any music purchased through the iTunes store can be downloaded again for free as long as you are signed in with the Apple ID you used for the original purchase. Any other music you had in iTunes should be easily accessible in your system back up or from the CDs you ripped from originally.

HT203167 My computer crashed and i lost all my Itunes media ?!
Recently my computer crashed and I lost all my Itunes Media...I have absolutely no idea what I should do ?!
Could somebody tell me what to do ?If you have a backup to an external hard disk, then install iTunes and place the backup of C:\users\????\Music\iTunes back into that folder. If you need to redownload old purchases, then go into iTunes and go store -> purchased -> download previous purchases and that will at least get you what you bought from Apple. If you could elaborate on what kind of crash, I might be able to recommend a few other things, but that would be less Apple support and more data recovery.

My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos. I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone. How do I now download those photos to my new computer. Same thing with my iTunes music library.
Unfortunately, I did not have the photos stored seperately. When I set up iTunes on the new computer, I clicked "sync photos" and it said it would sync to the photos in the my pictures folder on the computer. This is a new computer, so the folder is empty. I am hesitant to allow the sync, because I do not want to wipe those photos from my iPhone, and never see them again. This is a terrible spot to be in.
I have also lost my iTunes music library for the computer. I subscribed to itunes Match, thinking it would upload my music from my phone to iCloud. It only added 57 songs that I had purchased on the store previously. None of the cd's I added where transferred. -
A little while ago my computer crashed and I lost everything, including my iTunes library except for on my iPod Shuffle. I just got a new iPod Nano for Christmas and I need to transfer the music from my old one to my new one but I can't figure out how to do this because my iTunes does not have the music that my old one does.

my pc crashed and i lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. now i have a new pc and when i log into itunes all my music and photos are not available. I guess i dont understand the pupose of itunes and its worth. I thought it backed up all my photos and music, but apparently not. So what do I use so that when i lose data on my pc i can retrieve it again at a later date or after a crash?/
Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.
