I have had to reset my iPad to factory settings and lost iTunes

Question: how can I retrieve my iTunes, mad configure across all 3 pieces of kit.
I have had to reset my iPad 2 to factory settings, and in so doing lost iTunes and photos.
This has been a very long term issue with my Icloud account. It's never worked on my mac notebook, iPad nor recently purchased iPhone 4.
This issue has been compounded by bad advice from Apple Helpine who is insisted I recreate an Apple ID using a gmail account.
A meeting at a Genius Bar discredited this advice and promised to send me an email explaining how to get, retrieve my mac e address, that email did not arrive.
In desperation I have had to reset my iPad, reset my ID and at least iCloud is now working for the first time.
However I suspect the iTunes is now attached to the gmail account, which I do not wish to receive.

Typos mad = and
Receive = retrieve

My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling. Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library? HELP!

The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
If that still doesn't work, try this:
Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
Hope this helps.

Lost iTunes with Windows update, now I can't sync iPod Touch

My computer recently updated windows and I lost iTunes and my music library. When I re-installed iTunes, I tried to sync my iPod but it's telling me that I am synced with another library and it wont let me transfer my music from my iPod to the music library. It will only let me transfer purchased music. Is there a way I can restore my old library or will I have to start fresh all over again? It will not let me sync my iPod with my daughters either whether home-sharing is on or not. I also tried home-sharing, it does nothing.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put verything back.

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 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...
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
Make sure you use the same Apple ID.

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 with lion

I purchased Lion from the app store to use the cloud and now I lost Itunes. If I reinstall it will I lose my library?

After trying a few things (as suggested by the Apple website) and going nowhere...I called Apple. It is free for the first 90 days that you have Lion on your computer. And since Lion had eaten my ITunes library, I qualified for the free help....
In the end, the solution was to go to ADD TO LIBRARY and chose the ITUNES folder. Everything came back. I'll have to redo the individual playlists, though. Oh. Well. Case closed.

Upgraded to Lion-internet not working, lost Itunes account

Internet/ wifi not working since I upgraded to Lion, I also lost itunes (being advised to install latest version.) I did back up the laptop prior to upgrading.....
COME ON APPLE- THIS IS STUPID!!!!!

It's the lion's wifi it's vary sensitive to the signal! you need a version R router bought a Time capsul it's an R.Move your router away from any metel and see if it helps. I just got a 27' imac i7 2TB/SSD my Toshiba i7 worked fine on my old router in a metel shelf unit not this mac! So I bought the Time Capsule $300.00 ouch! my Mac/lion is blazzing fast know and so is my Toshiba i7 windows.The $100. routers in the stores are most likly version R as well but the TC runs 2.4 or 5 GHz at the same time or fix it eather alone. Plus a 2TB back up drive! Now this is not the only problems your going to have with the new OS lion system it went away from Roseta so older softwair dosent work and your chaseing the net for drivers!!!!

Since downloading spotify trial (one month), i seem to have lost itunes and my music from my dock. how do i bring my music back

Since downloading Spotify app (trial for 1 month), i seem to have lost itunes from my dock, including my music. How do i bring it & all my music back. the last time i saved it to my hard drive was 3 months ago.

If you start iTunes from Launchpad or Applications. It will Show the icon on the desktop. Right mouse click select Options and Keep in Dock.
When you say your music has dissapeared is it removed from your hard drive?
username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music is the path to my music on the local hard drive?
If it is missing from itunes then redrag the Music folder back into iTunes and your music should reappear.
Or did you mean something else?

TS1967 When trying to recover a lost iTunes library file, the programme moved all the normal contents of iTunes folder to the desktop. Now what must I do?

When trying to recover a lost iTunes library file, the programme moved all the normal contents of iTunes folder to the desktop. Now what must I do? There is no iTunes Library.itl file. On the desktop it is labelled iTunes Library.xml. Several others files have appeared there too including iTunes Music Library.xml
Before I can use the programme is it necessary to take another step?
Thanks for advice.

Don't worry. I'm all for caution. I guess I should have asked a little more about what steps you took while trying to recover your lost library?
The permissions thing may be a red herring, but if there is a problem with file access rights to the designated media folder iTunes has been known to place files on the desktop instead since it can access this location. The most common cause for such problems is working with a folder on an NTFS drive via a differnt account or on a different computer. In the normal course of events folders created inside user profiles have limited rights for other users.
Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
Normally the iTunes folder will be created at <User's Music>\iTunes with the media folder inside it. The library files should all appear in the same place so your comment about there not being an iTunes Library.itl file is confusing. Is it just the case that the .itl extension is hidden? The two .xml files makes sense from the above and indicates that the active library is not in <User's Music>\iTunes, but you have a recovered file from when it was.
If, in fact, the situation is that your desktop is acting as the main iTunes folder, and contains the library file, Album Artwork, iTunes Media and (optionally) Previous iTunes Libraries folders, with all other content being inside the iTunes Media folder, then it should be relativly easy to rearrange your into the correct shape and move them to the correct location.
If things are more complex, with something other than a library folder containing a media folder, then reestablishing the normal order is more complicated. The iTunes consolidate function is used to bring copies of files stored outside of the media folder into the media folder. It may sometimes be needed as part of the process of tidying up, however it leaves behind originals. There are circumstances where there isn't room for two complete sets of the media files on the same drive which is why I suggested the script might be useful as it produces the same results for the library without leaving the originals for manual clear up.
I think before you do anything however, we should get a clearer picture of exactly what is where. Could you perhaps take a screenshot of the desktop and post it here? Take a look at this post on making a split library portable. The same techniques I outline there can be used to lick your library into shape, it is just a question of working out which to use in which order for the best effect.
