Lost all my purchased music after update!

I recently purchased the software update for my iPod touch, and have now lost all of my purchased music from my iTunes. How can I get it back?

Your music is normally stored in your iTunes library (which is how it was originally synced to your phone) and syncing with iTunes would transfer it back to your phone.  If it isn't in your iTunes library your only option is to re-import it and then sync it to your phone.  Music has never been included in the iPhone backup.  (When you restore an iCloud backup it merely redownloads your purchased music from the iTunes store.)
------But my music from ripped CDs and playlists are now missing from my  iTunes library on my commuter too after I upgraded/downloaded the latest iTunes version that was suggested. 11.0 I think? So if I don't have the CDs to rip again, the music is pretty much lost then huh?

  • I downloaded i tunes onto my new computer, i connected my iphone during the updating process itunes failed and i lost all my purchased music from my iphone. I would like to get it reinstated how ?

    I downloaded itunes onto my new computer, i connected my iphone during the updating process itunes failed and i lost all my purchased music from my iphone and can no longer retrieve them. I would like to know how i can reinstate the lost music please.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5.

    I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5. It's not just contacts, my photos, messages, mail and everything is gone. I did the back-up thing on iTunes too before I updated the iOS. The only thing that restored was the apps. Is there anyway to get this back?

    If you no longer have service with AT&T, I don't believe you can.

  • Lost all my purchased music

    I have purchased 15-20 songs through iTunes on my iPod Touch. I connected my iPod to my computer last night to put on Sigur Ros's new album and to charge it. But when I turned it on this morning, all my purchased music had gone without trace, both from my iPod and from iTunes. All that remains are two songs that I bought last night (I bought them through the computer, not the iPod), and a random Single of the Week that I downloaded ages ago.
    I still have all the receipts of all the songs I downloaded. Is there any way to get them back?

    Try it, and also try Store menu > Check for Purchases.
    If not, go to your Purchase History and report problems with the songs individually. You can also start here:

  • I lost all of my contacts after update

    I lost all of my contacts after installing new software. How can i retrieve them back...or can i retrieve them??

    If you have an Icloud backup, sign in to your account. It will reload your contacts. If over a computer, use a previous device backup, or in the sync menu of your devce, go to mail and contacts and select the info you want to copy to your iphone, if you have the contact info on your computer. If by chance dont have icloud, or a previous backup to itunes, then I'm afraid that your contacts are gone. This is why I went to Icloud as soon as I got ios 5. Hope this helps

  • HT204406 Lost purchased music after update

    Hi,
    I updated my iphone just last week after 11 months of not updating. I have just noticed that since the update I have lost music that I have purchased from itunes. I don't know how much music is missing, however it seems to be quite  a bit of recently purchased music. How can I retrieve this music? When I go onto iTunes and look at songs I know I have purchased it says "buy now" not "install" or "download" so it looks like it will charge me again of I try. I won't be impressed at all if I have to purchase all the music I'm missing again. Not only that, I don't know how much music  is missing.
    Please tell me there is a way to get it all back!

    Why is it not in your itunes library? If you purchase any content on your phone, you MUST File>Transfer purchases to get the content into your itunes library. The itunes content sync is ONE WAY: computer to phone. You can re-download purchased apps for free. For the rest of your purchased content, contact itunes support, plead your case, beg...they "may" let you re-download it, but the decision is theirs:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    For future reference: the iphone should NOT be used as a storage device, things can & will happen. If you purchase content on your phone, ALWAYS File>Transfer Purchases as soon as possible. Likewise, your itunes library should be regularly backed up.

  • Old laptop is broken, and iv now lost all my purchased music

    i recently had to reinstall windows on ym laptop, and when i reinstalled itunes, i connected my iphone and had to resync my iphone to the now new itunes. as a result i lost all my downloaded (and paid for i might add) songs. how can i recover all my downloaded music which i have purchased over the last few years?!
    Thanks

    Not to worry. Apple stores all iTunes purchased songs and more in iCloud. So in your iTunes:
    1) go the "preferences"
    2) under the "store" tab, check :  ' Music ', ' Apps ' , & ' Books '
    3) Make sure your the itunes account your are using is the same one you used to purchase all the items from iTunes
    Now iTunes should automatically Redownlaod all ur purchased items

    If the contacts were stored on icloud, then be sure the device is connected to icloud (Settings>icloud) and also that contacts are turned on (on the same screen in settings).

    You should have transferred them to your computer regularly and included them in your backup copy of your computer.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • Ive lost all contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help

    Ive lost all my Contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help
    How can I get them all Back ???

    Have had the same issue - and conflicts between PC, Ipad and Iphone.  Gained 6000 names and lost contacts or contact contents.  Have had to edit on PC.  Spoke with Apple Express and was advised to do editing only on PC and then sync.  Was also told not to use Icloud until problems had been solved.  Have spent last two weeks recreating my contacts list.
    Haven't yet bothered to reclaim my missing paid ring tones.

  • Lost all my purchases music

    My laptop was stolen but i had all my Itunes on an external hard drive. I bought a new laptop and had one of the geniuses help me move my music on to the new laptop. I don't seem to have any of the purchased music I bought. Any Ideas?????

    I'm in Canada so it's the same here. It's due to licensing so we'll have to see how it comes together.
    I always keep a backup of all my important data just in case.
    Good luck
