Lost all my music in my computer itunes, why?

I lost all music on my computer itunes, why?

Thanks for replying. No, it didn't occur after an update. Although I was able to recover some of the purchesed songs trough icloud, many of them are missing. I have paid for them and don't want to do ir again.

    I just updated my iphone, but have lost all my musics I purchased from itunes.

    Depending on which country that you are in you might be able to re-download it for free : re-downloading. Otherwise, have you not got a copy of them on your computer and/or on a backup that you can use to re-sync them to the iPhone ?

  • HT204053 I've lost all the music on my computer in the main music section of my i tunes, i have it all on my phone but i want it back on my computer to. Every time i try to play a song it tells me it can't locate the song. I'm backed up to the cloud so ho

    ok, i lost all the music on my powerbook in i tunes, it tells me it can't locate any of the songs. I'm backed up to the cloud so how do i get my music back? I have it on my iphone what to do?

    Your iCloud backup doesn't contain your music.  It will restore music purchased from the iTunes store to your iOS device if you restore the backup by redownloading it from the iTunes store.  You can also redownload music purchased from the iTunes store to your iTunes library on your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.  This will not recover music from other sources.
    To transfer music from your phone to your computer, you will need to extract it using 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.

  • HT4914 if i got itunes match and i lost all my music on my computer

    i'm now having to reload all my music back on my laptop after the hard drive died, if i get i tunes match would i be able to download all my music to my laptop if it happend again ?

    No. The local files are neither moved or touched. They are simply "matched" or "uploaded." Any purchased tracks will be marked "purchased."
    Also, unless you delete tracks from the local iTunes library when you play it the local file will always be played. iTunes Match does not stream by default in iTunes.

  • I lost all my music i bought on itunes how do i get it all back is there a way itunes keeps a record please help me?????

    Can someone help me find my music i bought on itunes. I lost it all. Does itunes have a backup somewhere. i deleted it all. do they keep records of bought music.

    Yeah, but if I bought a CD I wouldn't have to pay 30 cents extra to have the complete use of any tune on the CD would I?  ten songs on a CD means you pay an extra $3.00 for the CD that you didn't agree to but its held for ransom.
    What? No idea what this has to do with anything (or even what it means)...
    So if you wanna be FAIR itunes isn't fair.
    Don't purchase from iTunes if you think it is unfair. There are many other places to purchase music.

    You make a backup even if you have no other equipment or an iPod.

  • After the latest update of ios version, i lost all my musics an playlists on itunes. Can I recover them trought the Iphone?

    After the itunes made the last update of IOS version, all the musics I had and the playlists I created, dissapeared from the itunes.
    Can i recover them from the Iphone?

    Did you mean update to iTunes?
    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!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • I bought a new laptop and have lost all my music library when installing itunes?

    This will be the third Laptop that I have authorised but when I installed iTunes to it, my entire music library had disappeared, only purchased items were there. It's worked ok previously when I authorised the old Laptop so I am really confused as to where it's all gone. I spent weeks loading over 500 CD's to the library and now no longer have them to do it all over again. Someone please help!

    Unless you have subscribed to iTunes Match signing into your iTunes account on a new computer only gives you access to your past purchases. You need to migrate the iTunes library from your previous computer or recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Lost all my music on my iPod Touch - is there any way I can get it back?

    Hi, for the first time I recently updated my iPod touch through my PC. All works fine apart from I've lost all my music that I've downloaded over the past year. Does anyone happen to know what I need to do to get it back or if it's actually possible? Am thinking I may have lost all my music.

    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other music you will have to get it from where you originally obtained it.

  • 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?

    ok...so I had to restore my computer back to its original factory state:( now I have lost all my music on itunes. Can I get them back??  if so, how??

    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.

    Backup do not contaiuns music or apps, you will either need to resync them from your itunes computer, or you can go to purchase history in itunes or app store app and go to purchase history and redownload them.
