Lost all my music in itunes after computer crash

Lost all my music in itunes when computer crashed.  itune store doesn't show all my purchases.  How do I get all my music back?

Browse your iTunes folder.  Do you have files in folder in your media folder?  In other words, did you really lose the media or did iTunes just lose track of it?
Of course you have a backup you make of your computer before doing any major updates, right?

    You can download everything you purchased from the iTunes Store without having to pay again:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Here is the procedure for your reference, using iTunes 10.7. The procedure and screenshots for newer versions are contained in the above link.
    This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
    Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.

  • Mountain lion crash when opening logic photobooth and lost all my music in itunes.

    Why are apple apps crashing in Mountain Lion. Logic, Photobooth, iphoto and lost all my music in Itunes?

    you might need to reinstall ML from the Recovery Partition.
    To get to the recovery partition restart your computer,  hold CMD+R down when you hear the boot up chime. Open Disk Utility first (verify your boot disk and repair if needed) and then close it and reinstall ML. 

  • I lost all my music on itunes and ipod

    my computer crashed during winter brake so i lost all my music on itunes, now ive lost all my music on ipod i dont know what to do and i cant live without my music please help me out to get it back.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>transfer Purchases

  • TS2776 Had to get a new hard drive, of course lost all my music in itunes. If I sync my ipod to itunes will I lose my music on my ipod??

    Had to get a new hard drive, of course lost all my music in itunes.  If I sync my ipod to itunes now will I lose my music on my ipod?

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software to copy over.  A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • Lost all my music in itunes

    When I opened itunes this morning all my music that I had on the computer is gone! No list, no podcasts, no purchased music, nothing.
    The other day I did accidentally trash my music folder but I dragged it back out of the trash and itunes still worked after that. I lost some other music that did not play through itunes also, so I'm thinking I trashed and lost that too. I have not emptied the trash but I don't see anything in it that looks like it would be associated with itunes.
    Can someone help me find my music?
    Thanks.

    So what you see in iTunes is only a link to the actual music files.
    Open iTunes
    Go to "File"
    Click on "Add to Library"
    A new window should open to ask you were the folder is you want to update from.
    Find your iTunes Music folder and click Open.
    Also iTunes Preferences "Advanced" will tell you where it thinks the iTunes Music Folder is.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I get all the content on my IPod to sync with itunes after I reinstalled itunes after computer crashed, folders and songs no longer match?

    My computer crashed back in Feb or March of this year and I just recently reinstalled itunes on it.  Once reinstalled itunes updated software.  Once this was all done I noticed that alot of songs on my IPod were no longer in itunes.  Also, the folders in itunes no longer matched what are on my IPod.  itunes says the computer is active for itunes and many songs on my IPod are on itunes but many are missing.  How do I get itunes to just sync and match what is on my IPod to include all songs and folders.  Many of the missing songs on my IPod and not in itunes are ones I purchased from itunes so they should have them.  I am getting very discouraged with itunes.  I tried to do a support call and pay the fee to have them call to address but I am stationed oversees and they would not accept my overseas number as valid.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  As stated, I just want the music now on itunes to match with my IPod to include folders.  Seems music got lost.  Any suggestions how to back up the music so if this happens again I do not have this issue.  I figured itunes would have my music or at a min just sync up what is on my IPod.
    Thanks gunner

    Probably a bit late to help in this thread, but the question is asked & answered frequently.
    *Recover media from iPod*
    See this post from Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7217190#7217190
    Some of the tools linked to will only work if the iPod has a valid library. Others can scan the drive independently and some may even be able to rebuild a damaged library. The manual method towards the end should be able to recover your media regardless of the state of the library.

  • Lost all my music on iTunes and printer no longer works

    What is going on with my comp? Lost all music on itunes. it says can't locate music. Docked my ipod and it wiped that as well.
    Tried to print but nothing. In preferences it knows it's the Epson C64 but it just won't print. When I take it out of Airport and plug directly to iMac, nothing.
    Never switched the machine off so how do I get the music back. It was playing yesterday and today, it's gone. No updates were done, the machine has not been touched in anyway

    Senti,
    In your Music > iTunes folder, is your
    music
    still in there? Thats where your music should be
    by
    default. Otherwise, do a search with
    Spotlight
    for your music and see where it has gone.
    As for the printer, make sure you have proper
    Intel
    compatible drivers.

    now get error 50 when trying to add my Epson Stylus

    When will the troubles end?
    Phoning support in Bangalore see if they can help out
    Ok didn't phone support, couldn't bear it so ploughed through. I managed to install driver only if I connected printer directly to iMac.
    Then tried to plug it back to the Airport Extreme, no workio. Checked utilities for Airport, nothing in there to include update wireless printing.
    Suggestions?
