Lost Itunes on my computer

I can no longer find the Itunes icon on my computer. I can't log in or even download itunes again. My enire library is gone form my computer. How do I get it back?

What do you mean your not sure it backed up?
Either you regularly maintain a backup copy of your important info/music/pics/docs ( as everyone should always do) or you don't.
If for some reason you have failed to do this (terrible idea), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:

  • I lost itunes on my computer and lost downloaded content that I payed for. How do I get it back?

    I lost itunes on my computer and lost downloaded content that I payed for. How do I get it back?

    When you say that you lost iTunes do you just mean the program or your content ? Have you checked to see if the content is still on your computer but not in iTunes ?
    If not then do you not have a backup of your purchases on, for example, external drives or CDs or DVDs ? If you have then you can copy that onto your computer and add it back into iTunes. If you havn't then if they are still available in the iTunes store (and content is occasionally removed so you should make/maintain your own backups and not rely on re-downloading) and if you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to purchase them, then you should be able to re-download apps and ibooks, and if you are in the US music and TV shows, for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you are not in the US and you want to re-download music or tv shows then you can try contacting Apple and asking for a re-download, but they are under no obligation to let you : http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/contact/

  • Lost iTunes on my computer due to hard drive crash, what happens when I sysnch ith iPod?

    Hi--
    I lost iTunes (downloaded songs) from my computer due to a hard drive crash.  The songs are currently on my iPod.  When I re-install iTunes and synch with my iPod, will I lose the songs on the iPod or will they get downloaded to the computer?
    Thanks in advance

    You should be able to transfer the songs from the iPod to your computer.
    Connect the iPod to your computer, launch iTunes.
    From the menu bar click File / Transfer Purchase From...

    Make sure you use the same Apple ID.

  • Updated itunes 6.05 failed and lost itunes on the computer....

    Itunes came up to "new version is available do you wish to update" and clicking yes the itunes wizard was runing fine until processing new files, when it said itunes.cab for this version is either damage or not usuable, the error might be on the network connection or the CD-rom. After this message my previous itunes was lost with all my music.
    After 3 tries of downloading the new itune version I give up and thinking about selling my brand new ipod....
    If someone knows about a solution for this issue please respond.

  • Ad iTunes on previous computer, can't find my libraries now I have re-downloaded for new computer. My wedding tunes were on my old iTunes - have I lost them all??

    I had iTunes on previous computer, can't find my libraries now I have re-downloaded for new computer, does this mean I have lost all my music content? My wedding music was on there, and i had paid loads to download stuff. I assumed it was all saved somewhere like hotmail messages. Any ideas, please? Jane

    Download Past Purchases
    Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase. See which Apple ID you used to download an item.
    2) See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store.

  • My ipod is disabled and it says to connect it to itunes but, the computer with itunes got reset and lost everything and when i DL itunes again it wont coneect because it say i need to put the passcode in so it can connect but it wont let me putthe passcod

    my ipod got disabled and it says to connect it to itunes but the computer i use got reset so it lost all the memory of itunes and i re  downloaded it and it says it cant connect my ipod to itunes because i need to put the pass code in on the ipod but it wont let me because its disable some one help me out.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • I had my iphone stolen which had quite a lot of music on that I had downloaded from itunes but not synced with itunes on my computer.Is there any way to access the music now or is it lost?

    Hi,
    I had my iphone stolen a few weeks ago which had quite a lot of music on that I had downloaded from itunes via my phone but had not synced with itunes on my computer.
    Is there any way to access the music now or is it lost? Thanks x

    By any chance, did you have the Find My iPhone app installed prior to it being stolen?

    Hopefully you had your iTunes purchases backed up to an external source such as an external drive or CD's?

  • My hard drive crashed and everything on my laptop was lost... is there anyway to transfer the music that I had put onto my phone into the itunes on my computer ?

    My hard drive crashed and everything on my laptop was lost... is there anyway to transfer the music that I had put onto my phone into the itunes on my computer ?

    I have a similar issue. My hard drive crashed, so I had a new one installed and I'm basically starting from scratch on my computer.  My iPhone has a lot of my stuff on it (photos and music in particular).  When I plugged into iTunes I did a "back up" of my phone to the computer....this transferred the photos in my camera roll, and music purchased through iTunes.
    So....I still have a ton of photos (saved in folders, not my camera roll), and music (older stuff not purchased through iTunes) that I want to get to my computer.  I am scared to "sync" my phone in iTunes for the first time.....if I do this, will it make my phone match my computer (effectively erasing the stuff on the phone?).  What I want is for my computer to match my phone (thus transferring the additional photos and music).  Is the third party software the only way??  Does it really work well/is it worth the money?  Thanks very much for the help.

    Or you can use third-party software like Phone to PC to transfer your music.

    If your music is all purchased from iTunes, you can log back in with the same Apple ID, authorize the computer and get your past purchases back. If not, then see this document put together by another user. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • My computer crashed and i lost itunes.

    My computer crashed and i lost itunes. I had to completely install a new harddrive and lost everything. I had my ipod synced to my itunes account but now it won't transfer my music. Note most of my music was imported from cds. My music  i think is backed up to icloud, but i can't figure out how to transfer that music to itunes. If someone could provide some advice.

    I believe so.  You can transfer the songs from your iPod to your computer though.

    Lost all contact info.  All my Aps are there but all the data/progress is missing.  When I plug my iphone into the usb fto synch up with my itunes on the computer a message comes up and says "enter the password to unlock your iphone backup file".  This is very frustrating

    I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two.  Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.
