I lost all my purchased songs when my hard drive. Can I get another copy from Apple?

I lost all my purchased songs when my hard drive. Can I get another copy from Apple?

Quite possibly, at least assuming you are based in the US. Install the latest build of iTunes, sign into the iTunes Store and click the Purchased entry in the Quck Links panel. Here in the UK I only get tabs fro Apps and Books but, if I understand correctly, you should also get a tab for Music. Click on the Not in My Library button and you should be able to download your purchases again.

Lost all of my songs when trying to transfer ..

Well, my laptop recently crashed and it's not fixable, so I tried to get my music from my nano onto a new computer, I clicked okay on something that I thought was an update for iTunes, and when I tried to sync something, all of my songs were erased! Help?

Missing songs when transferring from old to new laptop

Hi
I have just moved my songs from old to new laptop. Unfortuantely it has not copied all of them over, when I try to play in itunes it asks me to locate them. I have checked what has copied over and it has definately left them off, problem is it's left off quite a lot. Was there something that I should have done on the old laptop before copying them to an external device?

To do that, you need to go to "/Applications/System Preferences" then go to the "Accounts" prefpane, then click on the user you want to delete, then click on the minus button in the bottom left corner of the window, but make sure you are logged in as the good user to do this and that the good user is an administrator.

You may not have a backup of those files, then. Have you checked for backup according to this knowledge base article:

I have somehow lost an iTunes purchased song when transferring to iTunes to new computer

I have lost a song during an Itunes transfer from old computer to new computer. I decided to just re-purchase it in itunes, but I am not able to because instead of "buy" it says "purchased". How do I redownload this one song?

Lost all of my contacts when i upgraded to the new software

does anyone know how to retrieve my contacts? they are still on my main mac but will not transfer to my iphone....help!

Have been reading many entries about Contacts vanishing from the iPhone, or even the application's icon altogether...!
My Contacts were still on my Mac and on MobileMe.
So, with No Contacts on my iPhone's screen, I just entered a new one, and just called it Test. iPhone started to sync and the Test address soon vanished. But after ten minutes, I got all my old Contacts back on my iPhone.

I have a new computer and when i plugged my iphone in to upgrade it, I lost all of my songs and applications. I need to know how to recover it as I've looked all over the webstie and my account is empty?

If you are in the USA (is that Pearland, Texas), with iTunes 10.3 and iOS 4.3.3 or later, you can download your previous purchases directly to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or computer.
Here are the instructions: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs.

That really does not work since music is not included in the backup. See:

I have lost all of my songs on my Ipod touch. My computer that contains the Itunes library keeps freezing. How do I move my songs from my old computer to my new computer. Keep in mind that when I synced my ipod on my new computer I now have no songs on

My computer is old and keeps freezing up. I need to get my Itune purchases to a new computer. I messed up and synced my Ipod with my new computer before I moved my library over. Now my Ipod has no songs on it and the songs are frozen in my old computer. Is there anyway to get my songs onto my new computer and have my Ipod touch sync with my new computer. Or have I lost all of my songs? HELP

Songs purchased from iTunes Store?

HT4527 I have my entire music library (purchased and burnt CD's) on my iPod Touch from one computer and I wanted to sync it all to my new computer. I was hoping it would all transfer via sync when I plugged it in but it doesn't seem to work. Please help?!

Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

My ipod is not working at all when i plug it into my laptop i get an itunes sign and below that plugin sign also it says new software found however it first asks me to install the software disc which i dont have it with me now can you plz check for the same and reply asap...please thanks.

The link I and Ingo provided included:
1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
That is more than quicktime and iTunes. Follow all the instruction in the link for removing and reinstalling the Apple software.

I downloaded music to my iphone and when I went to go sync it up to itunes, I lost all of the songs purchased from that time until the previous time I backed it up. How do I recover these purchased songs that have been lost?

All of your music should be in itunes on your computer.
Select it to sync and sync.

I have a simlar issue like this when loading my movies to my iTouch. iTunes says that all of your wanted content is sync and your iPod says that all content wasn't synced, is that what you are saying?
