Itunes reinstalled lost all my library, how do i get it all back?

After getting my computer fixed, I found that the techs reinstalled my itunes. This then showed that I didn't have anything left in my itunes library. I tried plugging in my ipod it only trasfered about 200 of my 2000 song library saying the rest couldn't be supported. It then asked to authorize this computer which I tried to do but that said i had authorized my max number of computers. I am fairly sure that within my family it only has been authorized 3 times. My question is, is there any way to get all my music transfer from my ipod back into my itunes library?

Do you not have a backup? Not good
If they were purchased you can go file- transfer purchases

If you live in the US you can reload purchases

Otherwise you will have to find a 3rd party program to transfer music off the iPod

    - i updated my iphone 4 software on my other itunes library that is on my other user account on my laptop. my ringtones are not on my phone now but i see them in my library, but my phone is not synced to that library. how can i get my ringtones back without having to sync my phone to the library where my ringtones are and possibly lose everything on my phone ?

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.

    I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.??

    You can find the backup files and then copy them to a safe place if you are worrying about this.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.

  • I have used the deautherised all this year how can i get them all deautherised again

    i have used the deautherised all this year how can i get them all deautherised again

    There are two ways to get photos and videos on your iPod:
    - The can by synced to the iPod using the Photos pane in iTunes.  Thises photos and video aenot port of the backup that iTunes makes when you sync.
    - The other way is to take photos and videos with the iPod's camera (4G only) or to save like screeen shots or aved email attachments.  This type of photos and videos are includd n the backup that iTunes makes.  Thus, restoring from backup will retore those photos and video to the iPod up until the time the backup was made. Just make sure that you have auto-syncing turned off in iTunes otherwise iTunes will make a backup and overwite the old one. Do this by checking the box titled "Prevent iPods...syncing" in iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

    You should have been syncing your contacts to your computer regularly.  Just sync them back ot the iphone from your computer.

  • I lost my iphone. How do I get my photos back?

    I lost my iphone. How do I get my photos back?

    The backup of your lost phone will contain camera roll photos (and videos).  Restoring this backup to a replacement iPhone (or iPod Touch) will recover them.  If your backup is in iCloud, be sure to not wait to long to restore it as Apple will delete iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity.

    Have you checked to see if the media files are still on the computer? See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

  • I have an IPhone 4S. My color pictures and all icons have lost their color. How do I get the color back? Did I touch a wrong button?

    Hi ladwwd56,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Is it possible that you may have an Accessibility feature called "White on Black" turned on?
    See page 244 of the iPhone User Guide PDF:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1539/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.p df
    White on Black
    Use White on Black to invert the colors on the iPhone screen, which may make it easier to read the screen. When White on Black is turned on, the screen looks like a photographic negative.
    Invert the screen’s colors: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap the “White on Black” switch.
    If that is not the case, try restarting / resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 7

  • I accidently removed Firefox and all my settings, how do I get it all back?

    I was removing another program in add or remove and accidently removed firefox now I have lost everything, is there any way of getting it all back? ff3.6.15 wxp

    It depends on how you uninstalled Firefox.
    If you used the default options when you uninstalled Firefox, all you have to do is download the setup file again from http://www.mozilla.com then run it to re-install Firefox. It will automatically pick up your user data such as bookmarks and passwords. The user data is not deleted if you use the default options when uninstalling Firefox.
    If you selected the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data" it will have deleted all of your user data such as bookmarks and passwords. In you did this you are unlikely to be able to recover the user data.

  • My battery died and then when i charged the phone it is asking me to connect to itunes and restore. if i restore how can i get my data back

    My iphone battery died and on charging the phone it asked me to connect to itunes and restore the phone.
    If i restore the phone how can i get my data back and how can i check when i last backed up my phone

    If you have been syncing regularly as the iphone is designed, then you can sync the data back.
    Regardless you will have to restore the iphone.

  • Deleted iTunes folder, lost paid for applications, how do I get them back?

    OK,
    I accidently deleted my iTunes folder from its location in My Music (Windows Vista) and after doing so when I opened iTunes my entire library had disappeared. Not a problem I thought, as my music is in a different location anyway. So I rebuilt my library. Thats all done, but when I sync'd my iPhone up it obviously wiped the music, and applications! Now I do not seem to be able to get thee applications back. I have a few that were downloaded on the phone but none of the ones paid for! Is there a way to retrieve them???

    Just download them again, and iTunes should recognise on your account that you've already paid for them in the past and not charge you.

  • I unchecked all the songs in my library, how can I get them checked back?

    I was trying to uncheck some songs in my library so that they would not transfer to my ipod. I guess i held down shift or control to uncheck the group when I had a few songs selected. Now all my songs in my library are unchecked. I want to update my ipod but I am afraid that when I plug it back up that it will erase all the songs off my ipod since they all are unchecked in my library. I have quite a bit of music in my library and do not want to recheck the songs that I want to transfer again. Is there any way to rebuild the original checked songs?
    thanks

    hey thanks, I really wanted to check only the
    original songs i had checked, some 15 gigs worth
    instead of the 30+ gigs i have. I wanted to know if
    there was a way recheck only the original songs
    instead of clicking every single song
    No, there is not.
    You might find it advisable to make a smart playlist of "Checked Songs" and to occassionally back this playlist up into a normal playlist. This way, if you accidently check or uncheck everything, all you have to do is to pick your checked backup playlist and check all the songs in it.
    You can make a Smart Playlist for checked songs by using a rule of 'Comment is not dkjbdsk' (or some other nonsense) and turning on the "Match Checked Songs Only" flag. Then you can back that up into a non-smart playlist by selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and using the File->New Playlist from Selection menu option.

  • Upgraded to ios 7.1 battery drain is significant and have lost my calendar events. how do i get my events back and why am i losing so much power now?

    how do i get my calendar events back and why the power drain after upgrading my operating system to 7.1?

    Thought I'd reply to this seen as no one else has, I am also experiencing very similar problems with my 4s and by the looks of it is it's across all handsets. I've never had any battery issues with my iPhone even 7.0.6 was fine, but since updating to 7.1 the battery is ticking down very fast. I fully charged in the morning and left it in my locker all day at work when I got my hands on it it's gone down to 52% just on its own!!
    I really hope they sort this out fast the irony is 7.1 was supposed to help battery life!
