Just got iphone 5s, when I recopied my itms from backup, the songs did not copy to the new device, it states I can download them from iCloud, hw do I get my itunes library back on my iphone

i cannot copy my songs in my itunes library and have them stored on my iphone. It keeps telling ,me that I can access music in icloud. Songs can be downloaded and played via wifi or a cellular network. I want to copy all them back to my phone without haveing to go on phone and download each from icloud again.  Help

Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

    Did you update the version of itunes back to what it was before you reinstalled the OS? The OS discs will have an older version.

    Extract the hard drive from the faulty computer and recover the library from it or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. (At least one link in there may be useful even if you don't have such a device.)

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.
    For more information, see:

    For content not purchased from the iTunes Store, as John said you'll need to restore from your backups or get the content from whatever place you got it originally.

  • Can I get my itunes library back?

    Help me....I had to get my computer repaired and they replaced the hard drive.   It didn't get backed up so I lost everything.  Is there any way to get my itunes library back?
    By the way, I have most of my iTunes library downloaded to my iPod Nano. If I could tranfer that to my computer, that would be more than great. Is there a way to do that?

    Do yourself a favor, once everything is restore, CREATE A BACKUP!
    Anytime you choose to not do a backup, you risk losing everything as you have witnessed.  I hope for your sake that there were no important documentts or pictures on your computer, if they were, they are gone forever.

  • Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer,  I go to Store Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

    Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer,  I go to Store> Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

    So I am unclear, did you purchase these songs or import them from a cd?
    If you imported them and still have the CD try importing them again and see if they work the delete the others.
    Or if you purchased from itunes re-dowwnload and see if they work. Maybe they are corrupted files and this should resove it.

  • TS1967 My iTunes library no longer has all of my music or playlists. When I click "On this iPod" it shows everything, but it's greyed out. How can I get my iTunes library back to normal?

    I am not sure why, but everything in my library is gone. I no longer see my songs, or my playlist.
    When I click on "on ipod" in my itunes, it shows everything how it should be, but it's grey so I can't click on anything. Is there a way to transfer all of that to my itunes again? Or is there a setting for this? I am so confused, I have no idea how/when this even happened!

    Hello MeggiePie86,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Before you go through the process of importing your music from your iPod, check to see if the music is already on your computer.  Check in the Following path C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    Where are my iTunes files located?

    If there is media there, then import that into your iTunes library.

  • I had to put my computer back to when I got it how do I get my itunes library back

    I had to recover my computer back to when I bought it.   I  need to put my ITunes library of all the music I had back into my ITunes.
    I downloaded ITunes again into my computer but I need what I had in it back.
    How is this done?

    Restore the songs from a backup, or reload them from the original source; for iTunes Store music, use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

  • My laptop broke and I just got a new one....how can I get my itunes library back?

    My laptop I have had for 4 years had all my itunes music I purchased. It stopped working. I cannt even turn it on. Is there anyway I can get my library back?

    That is not good at all.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    If you are in the U.S, then you can retrieve purchases from the newly released icloud:  Open itunes store, click Purchases under Quick Links
    Otherwise, they are gone.
    Always maintaining a backup is very important.

  • How can I get my iTunes library back on my iPad?

    So, I own a Macbook and I have about 20 gigs of music on my hard drive, files are also store in iTunes Match, iCloud, etc.
    When I first got my iPad, I saw my entire iTunes library was also on my iPad, just not downloaded to the hd, it was apearing as downloadable. Over the course of a few months, while listening to music on my iPad, I noticed I was running low on storage space.
    So, instead of deleting the indivial files, I decided to delete the library from my iPad.
    However, now I cannot figure out how to get the library back on my iPad, and be able to see my iTunes library and download to the HD as I please.
    Help! Thanks!

    Hey Corey,
    It sounds like you were indeed using iTunes Match on your iPad. iTunes Match would have allowed you to view your entire library, and stream (or download) individual selections. Is iTunes Match still enabled?
    - On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
    - Tap the iTunes Match switch to set it to ON.

  • How can I get my ITunes library back to the way it was

    I just downloaded the new ITunes and I do not like the set up, is there a way to go back and have the layout as it was before?

    My original hard drive I now use as a data drive. I copied evrything that was in my user folder to an external harddrive,
    That's does nothing to set OS X to use that folder as your home folder.
    For iTunes, hold Option, laucnh iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    To set OS X to use the Home folder on the external, see this -> http://chris.pirillo.com/how-to-move-the-home-folder-in-os-x-and-why/

  • HT1349 I had to get a new computer as my hard drive went and lost everything. How do I get my itunes library back?

    I had to get a needed to get a new computer as my hard drive died. How do I geatr my ituens library of songs back?

    The easy way is from the backup you make of your computer so in case something happens you don't lose anything.
    You can download some media files purchased from Apple:
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    This will not reconstruct your library as it was.  It just puts the media back.  You will have to do playlists, ratings, etc.  If you have music from another source you will have to get it from there again.
