You get only a single download per purchase for music and movies in the Danish iTunes Store, so you will need to restore those from your backup. For apps and iBooks, see:

Got new iPod, deleted iTunes, lost music

My friend recently got a new iPod (and turned the old one in for a discount). My friend's new iPod would not sync with old iTunes, so she tried to upgrade it. For some reason it wouldn't. In frustration, she deleted iTunes from Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Now she realizes that iTunes is gone and her iPod is empty. Is all of her music gone forever? Or 1) is there a remaining library of music or 2) does the iTunes store allow you to download your purchased music again? Thank you for any assistance!

Hi, the music files should still be on the PC. Here is an article on finding lost music.

ITunes "lost" music library, playlists...

...Did an add folder to library and it appears that everything shows up in iTunes (can never be sure), but lost all playlists, album titles for audio books that were added after downloaded, and any information I manually added to music/audiobooks after they were downloaded... Why would iTunes drop an entire library. Nothing changed in terms of location of library (on ext HD), configuration of pc (winxp)
Big question - any way to reestablish playlists without having to manually recreate?

I have a similar issue. But my "my music" folder was moved from my docs to "c" - because my office server was backing up my library. I can always reload the music (by adding the folder to the library). The music all re-appears in I-Tunes, but all of my playlists are gone. This happens to me at least every two weeks, particularly if I am working away from the office.
Would love to be able to re-establish my playlists w/o manually re-creating as well (which I must have done at least 5 times already)...

Lost music + itunes crashes

iTunes has somehow become unstable with frequent crashes (freezes/locks up) and lost music (with no rhyme or reason as to which music has been lost).
The iTunes program haphazardly prompts me with a message that says "The song <insert name here> cannot be used because the original file could not be located. Would you like to locate it?".
For the most part I am able to find the song in the iTunes folder on my C drive, but there are numerous occasions when I cannot.
I have tried upgrading my version of iTunes hoping that whatever file that was corrupted would be fixed, but the problem persist.
I have tried to locate a number to call for assistance with the above problems to no avail.
Questions I am hoping for help + guidance with:
1) Is there no iTunes customer support beyond the kindness of other users?
2) What happened to my music? I have tried to "consolidate library" and check for purchases ...?
3) Why is my iTunes unstable? What can I do to fix it?
4) Is there a way to contact iTunes and have them restore the songs purchased but now lost?
Thanks much for your help. Very frustrating to have paid so much into a system (500 songs plus) and then have it be unreliable ...
Thanks,
- Brian

Let's get the application installed properly first, then focus on the library...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.

Lost music after itunes update

Hi All
I just did the latest software update for my itunes and seem to have lost all my music. Called apple care and they talked me through looking the lost music. They said it looks like its gone. Any one have this problem? I was not the first one to call with this same problem. Any ideas on where to find my lost music libary along with ratings and such?

sorry to hear of your loss. that is why I always back up my purchases.
you can email support and they can provide a one time exception and allow a re download of all yoru purchases, or at least what is still available for download.

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite

Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite. Has anyone had this problem? How did you re-import all your lost music? My iTunes currently only contains all of the music I have purchased from the iTunes Store but nothing that was burned to my iTunes. All of my music files still seem to be located on my hard drive within the iTunes folder but they did not re-import into the library during the upgrade to Yosemite. Thanx for your help.

Hi OrangeOAK,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you still have the music on the computer but need to re add it to iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
Adding music and other content to iTunes - Apple Support
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

ITunes lost connection to music library

For some reason, iTunes lost the connection to my music library. All the songs are still on my hard drive, and if I manually go to them and click them, they will play in iTunes, and then stay in iTunes, but none of the ratings or playcounts, etc. show up. How can I get iTunes to reconnect to my music and keep all my ratings, etc? Please help...

If your are on Windows XP - SP2 and above, try this:
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

Lost Music On Itunes/Ipod

Hello, my problem is when I plug my Ipod into my computer and start up Itunes, the music from CDs I already own (That I've previously added on my Ipod) are all gone, but the music I've purchased is there still.. Does anyone have an explaination for this if so can you help me out?
Thanks, Honeybun.

A little more info from you will help us understand how your iPod is set up to sync with your music library. In iTunes, select your iPod from the list on the left.
1. In the "Summary" tab, is the the "Manually manage music" box in "Options" checked or unchecked?
2. In the "Music" tab, what settings have you have chosen in iTunes for syncing music?
3. At the bottom of the window, how much of your iPod's capacity is shown as being used for audio & how much is free?

Itunes, lost music! :-(
