Lost everything on my computer.

My computer crashed and lost mostly everything except 1 cd I backed up but didn't have my songs backed up in Itunes. My question is I still have 13 hours of my music on my Ipod Shuffle. If I reinstall the Itunes software and put the Ipod Shuffle in will synchronize back on the computer?

I would not install Itunes to start.
1) Make sure you can view hidden files. In MY computer go to tools>folder options>view>show hidden files and folders.
2) Windows should see the shuffle and your music should be on your shuffle in several hidden folders. To be safe I would copy it all to say your desktop.
3) Install Itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and the Ipod updater http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ than *** the copied folder to Itunes (drag and drop or in Itunes (File>add folder to library)
4) Plug shuffle back in Itunes should see it and want to delete the contents say yes as it should all now be in your library.
YOu may need to authorise Itunes music store again by playing one of the purchased songs and than logging into your account.

  • Updating my iPhoto I have lost everything because my computer is all of a year old

    I was asked to update my iPhoto by Cloud, so I did, just to find out that my computer is too old for this update, so now I don't have any iPhoto and more importantly no photos.  My mac book air is less than a year old, and is a Lion.  I am feeling sick.  How can I get my old iPhoto back

    I know the suggestion of update was not by OS, it was needed by Cloud so that I could transfer information between devices, at least that is what I thought.  Anyway, since then I went into my apple preferences and it had updates available, so when I did that I see that my iPhoto responds to me.  And when I say that I mean it is on the stop sign icon at the bottom of the screen, but which still has a stop sign sort of thing instead of the iPhoto sign.  Now when I press on  see this message, I am a bit nervous about how I interpret messages, so what do I do with this.
    Do I accept this.  I have backed up my computer. 

  • Lost Everything on my computer, please help including info/messages sent to me on the myFICO forums

    Several people have been very kind and shared info to me.  The one I am desperate for at the moment is the person who shared their great, detailed credit card Excel spread sheet. I am in such a state now, I cannot even recall who it was.  I have done several computer searches, e-mail searches, etc., trying to find the spreadsheet.  I can't believe even the info here at myFICO in my settings was affected, but it was.  Maybe because I had to change some log in info.  Regardless, please will that someone email the spreadsheet to me here again.  I will be forever greatful.

    While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.
    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

  • My computer crashed and lost everything How do I get all the data off my Iphone to a new computer?

    I lost everything on my computer. My iphone 4 has all the things i need on it when i try to sync it itunes tells me it is going to clear the phone I have already atherized the new computer.

    You may be able to buy a program to do this - not supported by Apple.
    the ipod is not a storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchaes.
    The music should be on a computer as that is where they came from in the first place.

  • I had my Ipod touch 4gen on itunes of computer that crashed. On new computer i updated it, hit the wrong button, and lost everything. How do i get my old songs, apps, and account money back?

    I had my ipod 4gen itunes on a computer that crashed. With the new computer I update it to the lastest version. I hit the wrong transfer button and lost everything. How do I get my old songs, apps, and money back from my old account, if thats possible?

    I cant find any of my recently bought songs or the apps i have purchased. When I was updating my ipod there was a button that asked about transfering purchases and I didnt read it, and I didnt update manually so i think thats why i lost everything. I clicked on the intrustions and clicked on apps and i coulnt find any of my old stuff.

  • If my old computer died and I lost everything including my itunes initial account.  How do I get my itunes account back onto my new computer, or do I have to set up a new itunes account.

    My old computer died completely and I lost everything including my itunes account.  How do I get my old itunes account back onto my new computer.  The old itunes account is still active on my ipad 2.

    An itunes account is just a user name and password.  You can use your account from any computer/device with itunes.
    Do you mean your library ( music/apps/content)?
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to bakcup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/ipad/iphone:  File>Transfer Purchases or you can redownload some purchases in some countries:

  • I plugged my iPhone for the first time to my computer,the iTunes screen came up and asked if I wanted to register the phone as a new phone or with the backup from my iPod. By accident, I clicked on the backup from my iPod, and I lost everything.

    Hi,
    I plugged my iPhone for the first time to my computer. The iTunes screen automatically came up and asked if I wanted to register/set-up my iPhone as new phone or using the backup from my iPod. Without knowing what was going to happen, I clicked on the backup from my iPod and then I lost everything I already had in my phone: mostly contacts and pictures. Although afraid of the answer, is there a solution to retrieving the info, especially the pictures?
    Thank you!

    by any chance did you do a back up to iCloud? if not there isn't a way to retrieve lost info with out a back up.

  • My old computer crashed and i lost everything from contacts too music. i have a new labtop and want to sync my contacts and music and apps over to itunes without everything being erased. what is the easiest way to do that?

    My old computer crashed and i lost everything that was on itunes and on the computer contacts music etc. i want to get the new iphone but the 3gs i have has not been sync with the new computer & I don't want to loose or have everything erased on my phone just want to put everything that's on my phone to new computer. what the most uncomplicated way to do that?

    No.
    All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
    When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
    The same applies here.

    The easiest way to get back missing items?  Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account?

    My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account? I have a ton of bookmarks/saved password and the only way to get on sync is create a new recovery key and lose all of my information.
    Is there any way to get my stuff back without creating a new recovery key and losing all my old stuff?

    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.

    My computer crashed and I lost everything. How do I get my music from my I-phone 4S back on itunes?

    That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:
