Lost music, apps, etc from library
for the last 2 weks itunes keeps dumping my music and everything from the library. i get the music, etc back on from the file in explore but when i close itunes and come back on everything is gone again.
this always works for me... go to your iTunes folder (normally filed under 'my music') and click on 'ituneslibary.itl' (should have iTunes icon at the side) your iTunes should come up and it should have restored to your original library. also if you have bought all your apps an music, if you sync with your phone you can transfer them all from the phone.
Hope this helps

how do i find which Apple ID is associated with music in my iTunes? When I sync with my iPad and iPhone it tells me I have music, apps etc from more than five IDs. I am asked for PW for a number of now extinct accounts.
Go to Settings/icloud. The Apple ID at the top of the screen is the only one you need to be concerned about. That one MUST be a working ID, and you must know the password for it, or you will be unable to use the phone if it ever crashes, you want to update it, or you want to sell it.

Both my mother, father, and I recently got iPhones. We've all had iPods in the past and been able to survive under a single Apple ID/iCloud account. Now that we all have iPhones, we've heard a couple horror stories about parents and kids contacts and calenders merging when they are registered under the same Apple ID. What steps should we take to avoid this problem? We would still like to be able to share the same music, apps, videos, etc. If we all get individual Apple IDs, can we still all use the same iTunes library we have on our computer without any pitfalls?
Thank you! A response would be much appreciated(:You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

I have been sharing an apple ID with my husband for my iPad and iPhone however I now have a new iphone and have read that I should have my own ID. If I create one with my new phone, how I do transfer across all my contacts, music, apps etc from my previous phone/ID?
You cannot download the same Apps that you have on your iPhone. They are two seperate stores.
The store you have on your iPhone is the same for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone and iPod)
The store on your MacBook is only for Macs. -

Updated my iPhone with latest software and all my phone contacts have vanished. Phone backed up as normal, then installed software then re-installed music, apps etc, but no contacts.
Have updated software before with no issues. Have tried using tips from help page with no change - just a blank contact list.
Any ideas?SimonPG63 wrote:
Sync via PC - Thought I'd backed up as it said it was backing up the phone. Having searched through here I see that the contacts aren't automatically saved! Why is that when everything else is?
Contacts are made to be synched to your computer or a cloud service. There is therefore no NEED to include them in your backup. Same reason iTunes media is not part of the backup. It's already on the computer.

Seems I've lost everything - Supposed to back up via Outlook address book I read - So why isn't that made obvious....?
Had you read the User Guide before using your phone, it would have been obvious.
Your data loss here is clearly user error and you have no one to blame but yourself. The User Guide CLEARLY outlines the way your phone should be used to minimize data loss.
Sorry, but it's time to put on your big boy pants and accept responsibility for your inactions. -

Save my music, contact, apps, etc. from my iPhone
My ex took my computer and changed the password to the e-mail account. Now I can't access my music or sync my phone and save my information. Please help me save my music, contacts, apps, etc. from my iPhone. PLEASE!!!!!
Do you have the Sync Apps option ticked from under your iPod's Apps tab in iTunes?
Make sure your the installing of Apps is not enabled in Restrictions. Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and make sure either all restrictions are off or that at least Installing Apps is.

I have removed all music/movies/etc. from iTunes due to duplicates. I have connected iTunes to a NEW library (38.33 GB) only to have the same problem, duplicates (2 or 3 of every song or 63.80 GB). I did not have this problem until syncing my library with the new Macbook Pro. I need a solution (a solution IS NOT sifting through my iTunes song by song and deleting the duplicates).
Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer -
Hard drive crashed, replaced. Downloaded iTunes again, but now I can't get to my apps, music, movies, etc from computer through iTunes. Any help?
If you have access to them anywhere, restore them from it. If not, click here and ask, or redownload the applications freely.

I've recently lost lots of data and purchases due to Iphone 4 crashing... Surely there is a way to recover "lost" music, apps, and audiobooks which I PURCHASED from ITunes in the last 1.5 months...? Greatly appreciate any suggestions or direction in this matter!
Note: Previously purchased music is only available through iTunes in the Cloud in Australia, Canada, Cypress, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States."

I have itunes set up on a PC with all my music, apps, etc. I want to stop using PC and move my iTunes and files to a Mac I bought and synch my iPhone with the Mac. Can I just synch iPhone with Mac iTunes and will it copy all my stuff onto Mac, or will I have to copy files from PC onto Mac?

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked, so that when I delete a song from one library it deletes from the other one.
On the online tutorials I've seen it shows that when you create a new iTunes library it should open as a blank account, but that isn't happening.
What am I doing wrong?If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
If necessary:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
