Laptop was crashed. What about my Music?

My laptop was crashed and now it's working again. How can I play all my music from my i-tunes library again?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

    You should have been storing everything on your computer and regularly backing up your computer.

  • My laptop was stolen and all my music is on my iPod Classic. How can I transfer it to my new computer and keep the playlists and such?

    Hey Everyone,
    My apartment was broken into and my laptop was stolen which had my entire iTunes library.  I have it all on my iPod Classic now which was with me at the time.
    What do you suggest as the best tool to transfer the music FROM my iPod to to my new computer?  I know there are some programs out there, what have you had success with?
    My most important question is, is there a way to retain my library and especially playlists as it is (instead of copying over a massive bunch of songs)?  Most of my music is from music blogs, mixtapes and underground artists so most of it cannot be found in the iTunes store.
    Thanks for any help guys!
    Vlad.

  • My laptop was stolen :( Question about CS5

    My laptop was stolen earlier this month, i have a two part question, I still have the original dvds for Photoshop and Indesign the new laptop has Windows 8. I've heard CS5 versions  will work on Windows 8? the other part of the question is what do I have to do to get Photoshop to work on my new laptop I used both my codes up on the laptop and that of my partner? I have a police report to verify this is true.
    A response would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Al

    Contact support by phone or web chat to reset activations/ get a new serial and have the old one blacklisted. The rest is one of those "maybe" things. On a general level CS5 should work on Win 8, but there may be minor issues requiring some tweaking.

  • Had a Mac, now a PC - what about my music?

    Had a MacBook, loaded it up with music from my CDs and purchases from the iTunes Store. Hard drive crashed - twice - both times, unrecoverable. (Note - do NOT get a MacBook with the 120 GB drive!!!).
    Bought an HP laptop but my Nano was formatted for the Mac. Is there ANY way to recover my investment in time as well as money? All my stuff is still on the Nano.
    Thanks!

    You need to copy the folder <User's Music>\iTunes (and everything below it) not just the iTunes Media/iTunes Music folder. Ideally copy the iTunes folder over before installing iTunes on the new computer.

  • Account disabled for security reasons - what about the music I purchased ?

    Hello to you all Apple/Mac lovers ,
    I have a problem : my iTunes/Apple ID was disabled for "security reasons". That I suppose I can understand - although I can't figure out what danger I represent for Apple and iTunes.
    The problem though is that I purchased some music on the iTunes Store and now I need to re-enter my account ID and password to listen to it - but since the account was deleted the iTunes Store accept or recognize the ID/password combination and it tells me why : "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons.". This is how I first learned my account had been disabled.
    How can I listen to my music now ? Thanks in advance for your advice !
    Charles

    Yes I got it to work your link was the right one. Here's how it works : the security reason was that I or someone else tried to use my account and entered a wrong password 5 times or 10 times in a row. That's why my account was blocked. So all I - or anyone - has to do is to ask for a new password using Apple's password recovery tool, iForgot. There was on link on that page you sent me, or on one of the help and FAQ pages it linked to, so that's how I got there and that's how I did it. Thanks a lot !!

  • Can I safely transfer all my music on my iPhone to my new Macbook pro or do I need to use a Time Machine to transfer my old iTunes to my new laptop? Am paranoid about losing music

    Title says it all. I have had a bad experience with losing my music before and I'm very paranoid about transfers, so I want to make sure I go about it right. I would like to do it myself if possibly and quickly.

    The iphone is not a backup device.

  • Switching from PC laptop to MacBook--what about iTunes and iPod

    I've been using a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop for a couple of years, and have an iTunes account and a 60G iPod video set up to sync with it.
    But now I'm getting a MacBook laptop and will get rid of the PC laptop.
    Big questions loom:
    - I set my iPod up for Windows. How do I change the setup to Mac?
    - How do I move my iTunes library from the PC to the Mac?
    - What else do I need to know?
    Thanks!

    When you connect your iPod to the new MacBook it won't automatically erase it. Instead you'll be told the iPod is synced to a different computer and ask if you want to sync it to the MacBook. Click on cancel. Your iPod isn't erased.
    Now head over to your favorite download site versiontracker.com is good and search on 'iPod'. You'll find several freeware and shareware programs that'll transfer your songs to the MacBook. Use one.

  • I want to restore my iPod, but what about my music?

    I don't sync my music directly from iTunes, I pick and choose specifically what I want in my iPod. Also, some songs on my iPod have album art/lyrics where the ones in my computer don't. Is it possible to back up the iPod songs somehow so I can easily put them back without a hassle and mess? Thanks.

    So are all the songs that are on the iPod also in your iTunes library? You implied that they were and you just manually added them to the iPod from iTunes, is that right?
    If you don't need to connect the iPod to two or more different iTunes libraries and do not have a need to have stuff on the iPod that isn't in your iTunes library, you will find it much easier to create a playlist to manage which songs go on the iPod. That way for situations like this, you can always restore then resync the playlist. But you can still manually add or subtract things from the playlist like you do on the iPod.
    As to the artwork, again, better to add artwork to the tracks in iTunes then add those tracks to the iPod. If you add artwork directly to the iPod then you end up in the situation you are in now.
    There are third party apps to get stuff off the iPod and into iTunes. I have no first hand experience and I am not sure if these are mainly all or nothing tranfers or if they will let you selectively pick stuff off the iPod to go back to iTunes.

  • After IO8 what about my music ?

    After IO 8 my music cannot be played and seems that it has to be bought again in App Store?

    Hi Jim Goldfinch.
    I connected the iPhone to the iMac and synchronized, and logged in with my AppleID - now it works - thank you.

  • So I've bought a new pc and have HomeShared all my music/apps from the old to the new iTunes.  When I plug my phone into the new computer, what will happen?  I just want to be sure my contacts/calenders will be the same.  What about the music/apps?

    I have no problem resorting the apps and losing the playlists from the other iTunes.  I just want to be sure nothing will be lost.

    I would suggest backing up your iphone before doing anything. You can do that by right-clicking on the name of your iphone from the source list on the left side of itunes.
    I hope this helps!

  • My laptop was stolen - what do I do next?

    How do I find my MacBook Pro?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police Done.
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • My .psd file was crashed after a blackout

    Hi,
    I was working on a .psd file (opened in PaintTool SAI) when there was a blackout so my laptop was crashed. When I opened it an hour later, the .psd file was ruined; all layers flattened to one black background layer; and no matter how many programs I tried to open the file, it's still the same black image.
    Is there any possible way to recover my .psd file before it was crashed?

    Do you have a backup strategy?  In other words, do you have a process that makes copies of your work - e.g., every night - to another location.
    You don't usually need extra software to do this, but it's surprising how many people just don't bother setting up backup, and now you know a situation in which it could have helped.

  • What about using `set -e'

    I noticed we usually use || return 1 to break the build function in case or errors.
    It works, but you have to recall to put it almost everywhere.
    I was thinking, what about using `set -e' at the start of the function? *
    So the build() function would fail automatically if any subcommand returns non zero,
    if a command can return nonzero we will add `|| true', but it is much rarer.
    this snipped from one of the PKBUILD protos
    build() {
    cd "$srcdir/***-$pkgver"
    # install module in vendor directories.
    PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor || return 1
    make || return 1
    make install DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" || return 1
    would become:
    build() {
    set -e
    cd "$srcdir/***-$pkgver"
    # install module in vendor directories.
    PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor
    make
    make install DESTDIR="$pkgdir/"
    *Seek '^ +set \[\+' (no quotes of course) in the bash manual.

  • My hard drive crashed and everything on my laptop was lost... is there anyway to transfer the music that I had put onto my phone into the itunes on my computer ?

    My hard drive crashed and everything on my laptop was lost... is there anyway to transfer the music that I had put onto my phone into the itunes on my computer ?

    I have a similar issue. My hard drive crashed, so I had a new one installed and I'm basically starting from scratch on my computer.  My iPhone has a lot of my stuff on it (photos and music in particular).  When I plugged into iTunes I did a "back up" of my phone to the computer....this transferred the photos in my camera roll, and music purchased through iTunes.
    So....I still have a ton of photos (saved in folders, not my camera roll), and music (older stuff not purchased through iTunes) that I want to get to my computer.  I am scared to "sync" my phone in iTunes for the first time.....if I do this, will it make my phone match my computer (effectively erasing the stuff on the phone?).  What I want is for my computer to match my phone (thus transferring the additional photos and music).  Is the third party software the only way??  Does it really work well/is it worth the money?  Thanks very much for the help.
