Lost ~20% of library when upgrading to V7

I recently upgraded to Itunes V7 only to discover that the library couldn't locate about 20% of my songs (I have over 2500). After manually locating about 50 songs one at a time I gave up and went back to version 6. Very disappointed. I won't upgrade to a newer version until I know this problem has been fixed.
I also note this same problem occurred on my son's pc.
If this is known issue with a fix, I would appreciate feedback.

I am trying to restore a backup of data made from an iPhone 4 under iOS 6.1.4, onto the same device (now running iOS 7.0.2). I get this message:
     iTunes could not restore the iPhone <name> because the
     backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being
     restored.
I've tried several other backups, from under 6.1.4 and one from 6.1.3 - same results.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
- James

I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

I see. Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not. You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out.
To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup. You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from. To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them. Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier. Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

I lost all my data when upgrading my iPad to iOs5. App Store doesn't recognize that I already purchased pages. What can I do other than repurchasing?

It shows "You do not have any purchased apps available to download" Can I show apple the credit card receipts for apps purchased from them? How would I find any previous account login info?

I lost my ITunes library when my windows laptop had a major glitch. Have recovered about half of it. All of my library is on my Ipad- can pull this music from the IPad when I connect it to the laptop in ITunes? Thanks.

One application that's able to accomplish what you want is called Senuti.

I've used it many times to recover music from my iPod to iTunes.

Not directly but you can sync to an iTunes equipped computer and then sync to the iPad...unless you have single-use tunes which cannot be shared.

LOst entire iTunes library with upgrading OS

Hi
I'm a bit basic. Awhile ago when hotmail upgraded and didn't work anymore,
i tried to upgrade my OS. I did something that my eMac couldn't handle and it more or less
died. It was out of action for a few months and would only show a blue screen and didn't remember
its old master password.
Finally I found the original start up disc and rebooted it but every thing was gone. Including
my iTunes library.
I'd had a couple of old macbooks also authorised to my account but they are long dead.
Now I can't figure out how to upload my old purchases, music and audio books.
And no, stupidly, although I did have them on an iPod classic, my son cracked the screen and killed it too, so I don't have my library anywhere..
Does anyone know what i can do?
Thanks in anticipation

For general library squiffiness following an upgrade the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup! For example grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time. And if your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes regardless of drive letter or path.

Lost messages in inbox when upgrade to Tiger

I just installed Tiger and lost all the messages in my inbox except the ones that were still on my mail server and could be reloaded into my mailbox. How do I get my lost messages back?

The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Take a look at the following thread to better understand the problem:
Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
In particular, you may want to take a look at the following article (also referenced in that thread) to learn what you might have done before upgrading to minimize the risk of this happening, and what you may do after fixing the problem to avoid similar issues from happening in the future. DON'T do now what the article suggests, though, as that would make things worse in the current situation:
Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
More specifically, if this is a POP account, the following procedure should allow you to fix the Inbox problems:
1. Quit Mail.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to fix the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish (e.g. Inbox Old). It doesn't need to have an .mbox extension.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/.
5. Move the files mbox and Incoming_Mail out of INBOX.mbox, into the Inbox Old folder just created on the Desktop. These files contain all the messages that were in the mailbox before the upgrade to Tiger, and maybe even some messages that had been deleted. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present.
6. Move any strangely-named Messages-XXXXXX folder to the Desktop (not into the Inbox Old folder). These folders are to be deleted after fixing the problem. They are temporary folders created during an import or an indexing process, and Mail should have deleted them when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn't work as expected. If you've been using Mail after the conversion and have already tried to fix the problem by rebuilding the mailbox or something like that, they might contain messages that are neither in Messages proper nor in the mbox file, so keep them around until the problem is fixed.
7. Move everything else within INBOX.mbox, except the Messages folder, to the Trash.
The result of the above should be that INBOX.mbox contains the proper Messages folder only, and the Inbox Old folder on the Desktop contains the mbox and Incoming_Mail (if it exists) files only. Now, proceed as follows:
8. Open Mail.
9. The account's Inbox should properly display in Mail as many messages as *.emlx files are in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/. If that's not the case, select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
10. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Other as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the Inbox Old folder that's on the Desktop. Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move to the account's Inbox the messages that Mail failed to convert properly, and delete those that did get through and, hence, are duplicates now.
The following collection of AppleScripts has a Remove Duplicates script that can be useful for removing duplicate messages:
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
If all is well and you're not missing anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

Lost iPhoto 08 library after upgrading HD

Help-I recently upgraded my HD in my 06 Mac Mini. I cloned the new one w/the old, replaced, and it fired right up. However, I can no longer find my pictures w/in iPhoto. I've tried to navigate to the correct folder on the "old" drive w/no luck. If I boot up w/the old drive (now in an enclosure), the pics are there. I can't export, and can't find the "Pictures" folder to import or otherwise move into the new library. Can anybody help???

That's what's weird. There is no pictures folder showing, even when I boot from that drive. I found one iPhoto Library file that is showing 245 mb. I can't get it to open, and it doesn't seem big enough anyway. We have a couple of years' worth of photos. I may just have to boot from the drive, copy/paste all of the photos, and start over. Ugh.
When I launch iPhoto now, it's empty. 0 pics.

Lost Previously Purchased Songs when upgraded to iTunes 7.0.2.16

I upgraded to iTunes 7.0.2.16 and now when I sync my iPod I receive a message stating "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including ... were not copied to your iPod ... because you are not authorized to play them on this computer"
However, I purchased them from the iTunes Store, using an iTunes card and have had them on my iPod previously. But now, they have been removed from my iPod and I cannot get them to load back on. Same pc, same iPod, the only thing that has changed is the version of iTunes that I have loaded on my machine... The are still loaded on my hard drive of my pc.
Please help!

I'm in serious need of help.
Indeed.
To be honest I don't understand how you were able to hold on to even 2 of your purchased items.
Anyways, if the music is still on your iPod, here is a post you may find of interest.
If that's not applicable, Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups.
That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form at the bottom of this page:

Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

Lost some calendars themes when upgrading iPhoto to '11.

Hello, I've upgraded iPhoto (Provided with Snow Leopard) to '11. Now, unfortunately, I lost some themes.
Especially in calendar I've now only; Picture Calendar, Colored Paper, Big Dates, Modern Lines, Travel, Vintage, Formal and Classic.
I'm missing at least Kid's Cutouts (also missing Paper Animals).
Since this are the most important (for me) themes in iPhoto I would like to get them back.
I've reinstalled iPhoto as described in some post, also look in Library / iPhoto /themes folders where the missing theme can be found.. but no success until now to have them back in iPhoto itself.
I'm now wondering how I can restore them?… Grand Parent loved the calendar last year and want one for this year too :-D
Hoping I will correct that issue before new year ;-)
Thanks All

These are the calendar themes available with iPhoto 9.4.3:
There is a Kids theme. What version of iPhoto are you running?

Photos lost in another library when transferred from old mac. Can't work out how to update them.

Hi I've imported photos from my old mac onto my new but could not find them in iphoto. When I searched for them I realised they were in another library. I transferred over to what I think is that library and it said I needed to update the softwear for them which I tried to do but after downloading could not understand apple's instructions. They said to choose the Go menu in Finder - what's that?!! Now when I tried to go back to my other library I couldn't find it ahhhggg!!!
M

What version of iPhoto were you using on the old Mac? What version on the new, Mac.
If you try to open the "older" library with the iPhoto on the new Mac it will need to convert it to the newer version. If the older version was iPhoto 7 or earlier and the new vesion was iPhoto 9.5 then you will need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.
So if you will provide information asked for we can go from there.
Happy Holidays

Lost my song library after upgrading to 7.0.1

Hi folks,
For some reason it kept all podcasts, and audible books. However, all songs I had ripped to my library are gone. I saw an earlier post where the iTunes Music folder had been saved under a different HD. I could not find mine at all. This is truly dissapointing - hopefully all is not lost. Help!!!
Thanks,
Horacio

Lost videos in iPhoto when upgraded to OS X Lion

When I upgraded to OS X Lion, all my videos were removded from iPhoto, and had been moved to iMovie. At least I think they are all in iMovie, I actually don't know as there were several videos imbedded in different 'events' in iPhoto.
How do I make it so I can continue to store videos in iPhoto?
Thanks, Brian

There is nothing I can find any files even I looked at below...
Is it all disappeared?? I wasn't even asked anything before updated. I have a back up from Time machine..
Is there anything I can do to find my inbox filles??
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences. ( I did )
Click Spotlight. ( I did )
Click the Privacy tab. ( I did )
Drag a folder or an entire volume (your hard drive) to the list. ( I don't find any folder from my hard disk.
If prompted for confirmation, click OK. ( I can't go further than that... )
Remove the item or volume you just added to the list by clicking it and then clicking the minus ("-") button.
Close Spotlight preferences.
Spotlight will re-index the contents of the folder or volume.
