Lost all Music/Pods

Hi all
I have lost all my music/playlists/podcasts (please help)
This is want I did:
1) I moved the itunes folder from my c:drive to my F:drive as i was trying to gain more space on my C:drive.
2) I opened itunes, all my music/playlists/podcasts where gone, looked like a new itunes & another new itunes folder was created on the C:drive
3) So I moved the original itunes folder from my F:drive back to my C:drive then sent that folder to itunes, but no music/playlists/podcasts appear.
I now have 3 itunes folder on my computer 2x on my c: & 1x on my F:drive
I did not delete any folder just moved them.
How can I get all my music/playlists/podcasts back.
Many thanks

If you arbitrarily move folders iTunes will lose the path to them and won't be able to find the folder.
Here are the instructions for moving the iTunes Music folder in order to free up drive space : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364
Now, copy one of those folders to some place for back up then start over again from the beginning.

  • I was trying to move my itunes to an external hard drive and I have now lost all music not purchased with itunes

    I was trying to move my music to an external hard drive but now I have lost all music that was not purchased with itunes. I never hit delete so its still somewhere on my imac. How do I find it?

    Do a Spotlight search or do a logical search along folders that make sense such as looking in the music folder first.  Moving a library correctly should not result in any loss, and I can't think of any way to move a library and lost just a select grouping of files.  How were you trying to effect this?

    It should ne in itunes on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then - in the U.S only - you can get previous itunes purchases from the beta version of icloud.  Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

  • I lost all music after an update on itouch, how do i restore

    lost all music after update , how do you restore it?

    You can go to iTunes, and download any music tracks for free if you have already downloading them. Same goes for apps, go to the App Store on your iPod, Updates, and then Purchased. From there, download anything for free (that you purchased before). All app progress will be saved too.
    OR, if you have a reliable backup, you can restore from that.

  • On upgrading my iphone to ios 5, I have lost all music purchaes since August, despite backing up the phone.  How do i get them back again?

    On upgrading my iphone 3Gs to ios 5, I have lost all music purchaes made on the phone since August, despite backing up the phone.  How do I get them back again?  Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem on an iphone 4s running iOS8; when i updated to iOS8, all my ringtones went missing, and when i got a £50 gift card for christmas (2014), I purchased some songs from the iTunes store on my iPhone. i downloaded songs from paramore, panic! at the disco, coldplay, and imagine dragons, over wi-fi, and they went into my iphone music library; but when i re-opened the music app a few days later, in a place where i had no wi-fi, except for my 3G phone signal, some cloud icons appeared next to my newly purchased songs, telling me to re-download them from the cloud, when i haven't even deleted them. this has happened twice now, and i had to use up some of my 5GB data allowance to redownload them from the cloud. This is annoying and i need to fix this issue ASAP.

  • HT203167 Computer crashed and lost all music.  How can I get a listing of all prior purchases and get them downloaded again?

    Compaq computer crashed and lost all music that was on the computer. How would I go about getting a listing of all purchased items and download them again? I know when i first got set up it said I could download up to 2 times when purchased and I have only downloaded once.  But need a listing of songs as well.

    One thing that I also recommend in the future is to back your iTunes library up relatively regularly.  You can get your purchases in the cloud just fine, typically, but at the very least, it will save some time by backing it up.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Just lost all music!

    I have just lost all the music on my i-pod I got the message 'songs on the ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist'
    Help!!

    OK so if you have it set to Automatically Update Specific Playlists Only, are those playlists you have selected in that same screen still in iTunes?
    In other words, you are telling iTunes that you want only the stuff in the playlists you have picked to be put on the iPod. If you later delete one or all of those playlists in iTunes, then plug in your iPod, it won't find the playlists it is supposed to sync with and would give you that error you see.

  • Updated Ipod and lost all music

    Has anyone else recently update an Ipod touch using Itunes and then lost all your music?  That is what happened to my daughter's.  We updated to version 4.21 and all music was wiped out.  Didn't have all the music in our Itunes library so can't get it all back.  Anyone have a solution or is it gone for good?

    Music is always synced to the iPod from the iTunes libray after a restore or update.  It is not part of the backup that is made as the first step of a sync and update. Therefore, if you update an iPod and the music (and apps) that are on the iPod are not in the iTunes library, the updated iPod will not have that music or apps.
    If you are in the USA and using the latest iTunes, you can redownload iTunes purchased music by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Lost all music on ipod

    I've just got back my 17" powerbook after having the HD replaced thanks to the extended coverage I bought. And after having lost all I did not back up, which was considerable, including my music library, I felt secure knowing that my little ipod held thousands of little dittys to melt the blues away until I apparently/mistakenly sycnched them into oblivion. Please tell me the thousands I spent is not lost and gone forever.

    This is why Apple reminds you to back up your purchased music when you buy from their store.
    When you hooked up your iPod to the new iTunes library, you should have received a warning message indicating that your iPod was linked to another iTunes library and clicking the YES button would result in your iPod being erased and replaced with the songs in the new library.
    Did you not get that message?

    Resync them from your iTunes library.
    If necessary
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I have a ipod touch. i updated the software and now have lost all music. havent got a backup or the songs as my laptop has broke how do i get the songs back ?

    I put all my cd's on my ipod on my old laptop. now i did the update on itunes on my new laptop and all music has gone from the ipod.
    Is there anyway of getting it back?

    All you can get back is your iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    You will have to rerip the CDs unless you can find a copy.
    When you restore or update an iPod, if synced media is not in the iTunes library it will not be on the iPod after the restore/update since the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
