ITunes Library been deleted, how do I want save what I have on my ITouch?
Hi, I have recently been made redundant but they let me keep my work laptop, which has my ITunes on it. However, the IT staff deleted a lot of things before handing it back to me, including my entire ITunes library. I have looked into similar questions on how to copy from an ITouch into the ITunes library and they all seem to suggest switching the ITouch into a 'hard drive' on ITunes and then copying the songs etc into a file on my computer and then copying them into ITunes. Sounds great, except that I do not have the option in my ITunes to switch my ITouch into a hard drive. Can anyone please help a dinosaur like me keep all my tracks on my ITouch and get them back into my ITunes library? ( same goes for my wifes IPod Nano which was linked to the same ITunes ). Cheers Nik

you won't find any because, unlike other iPod models, the Touch does not support _*disk mode*_.
instead, have a look at this post by Zevoneer.

Somehow my itunes has been deleted how can i undo it an get my phone back in order
my account w/itunes has been deleted an i was wondering how to get it back cause i really need all my apps an ifo that was on my phone? thx Cory
As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

My itunes library is deleted. how do i download my previous purchases?
How do I download already purchased music?
Restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the backup of the computer. That is honestly the best solution.
If you have failed to maintain a regular backup, not good, some content can be redownloaded from iTunes.

Hello!
I have 3 iOS devices synced with iTunes apps library (OS X 10.10.2)
Can someone tell me how to make not only added but deleted apps be synced also? I mean I want an app deleted in iTunes library be deleted from any iOS devices synced with this library.But it was working some time before! What and when has changed?
There was even a warning popup window something about "this application will be deleted from all the devices synced with this library"
Now there's opposite message - "This application will not be deleted from any device syncing with this account". Isn't it some kind of clue that there can be conrarily circumstances - when application IS deleted from ANY device synced with this computer? -
PLEASE HELP!!! Somehow my entire iTunes library got deleted, and I cannot sync all my music that I put on from cd's (which I no longer have). All the purchased music has been synced, but nothing else! All my other devices are synced with iCloud and lost the material as well ... I am so frustrated, because the nano has not been working properly, and I am afraid of losing it forever, and of course the cd's I backed everything with are MIA!!!! GRRR! Please HELP!!!
Thank you so much!I can't tell from your post what you have and what you don't have. Are you saying the files are no longer on your computer, no longer on your iPod, or both?

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.
The same way it was done in every previous version.
Connect the device to the computer.
Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with? -
Hi,
I just bought an I-Phone 5S. When plugging it to my Macbook for the 1st time to copy music from my I-Tunes, this message comes up: "The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on “localhost". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
Pls help. I'm always so scared I can loose all my contacts if i am to answer "yes". Also, why am I being told the IPhone is synced with another ITunes Library when it's litterally not been connected to any at all? I dont get it.
What shall I do?
Thanks for your help,

This would indicate that you bought a Used iPhone and/or have Connected it to another iTunes Library.
By design an iPhone can only sync to One iTunes Library at a time. -

My hard drive went and when i got my computer back from being fixed my itunes had been deleted, so i re installed it however my ipad wont connect to the itunes as its not registered to this itune, also all my songs arent on here what do i do?
There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4". Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files. Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen. Do you not have a backup? The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
No one can magically make them re-appear. -

IM REALLY NOT VERY TECHY SO I REALLY COULD USE SOME HELP

ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATEDHey bryce255,
Thanks for the question, that definitely sounds frustrating. Luckily, we have steps available that may be able to restore your previous library:
No content shows up in iTunes after updating
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967
Resolution
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
3. Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
Mac OS X
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
4. Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
5. Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
6. Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
7. Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
8. Rename this file to iTunes Library.
9. Open iTunes.
You should now see your missing content in iTunes.
If the above does not resolve your issue, you can learn about re-creating your iTunes library:

Downloaded Music on my itunes has been Deleted
all of my music that I have downloaded onto my iTunes has been deleted and I don't know how to get it back Please Help!
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
Are the files really gone from the computer or is it just iTunes has lost track of them? A more detailed description of the problem would help.
Generally if things go missing you either re-download them from the iTunes sore where possible, or recover them from the backup you make of your computer because you are so glad you have one when this happens. -
When I connect my iPad or iPod to my compuer running iTunes I get the following message for most of the apps. "A newer version of app "5-0 Radio" exists in your iTunes library. Are you sure you want to replace it with the one you are moving?"
How can I fix this?
Many thanks

HT4993 Maps navigation has been deleted, how can I get it back?
Maps navigation has been deleted, how can I get it back?
If you mean the built-in Maps app, you can't delete it. Search all your screens and inside all your folders. You can also use Spotlight search on your phone to locate it and if it's inside a folder, the name of the folder will show to the right of the Maps icon. If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.
