Lost Music Downloaded Wirelessly... Help!

Quick background... I'm staying with friends, and my desktop is in storage, and my desktop is my main computer for my iTunes account. It's where I keep all of my music. I have recently made my laptop my second computer that can function with my iPod, and I added a couple of videos to it. However, once I added these videos, I lost all of the songs that I have downloaded WIRELESSLY from iTunes. All of my music from my desktop (all 12 gigs) is still on the iPod, but the 8 or so songs I've purchased while staying with my friends is gone. Anyone have any idea how to remedy this?

When you say that you've downloaded wirelessly through iTunes, are you referring to songs downloaded via the iTunes wi fi store on an iPod touch or iPhone? If so, the next time you have songs on the device that are not in iTunes, you may want to try the following (just to be safe) prior to connecting the device to the computer.
1. In iTunes click Edit > Preferences > Syncing tab
2. Select the option to disable automatic syncing and click OK
Connect the device and click File > Transfer Purchases from iPod
Regarding the lost songs, I would email iTunes Store support and explain what happened. They should be able to help you get these songs back, in a pinch.

As always, make sure you back up your iTunes store purchases to avoid any loss of your valuable music in the future.

Lost Previous Downloaded Songs Help?

Received an iPod Shuffle for Christmas and have some problems. Redeemed a download card at iTunes Music Store while visiting my aunt. Downloaded (2) songs, worked with no problems.
Now I go home and can't get the iTunes set-up disk to work on my home computer. Went to the iTunes website and downloaded software from there. Downloaded an additional (4) songs but now the original (2) songs are not there? What happened? You can go to My Computer and access the iPod when connected to the USB Port and several folders are there that has all (6) songs shown, but only plays the most recent (4) songs, Why? Any Ideas?

Lost music downloaded on Iphone which had to be restored

Hi
I downloaded a load of music through itunes on my iphone, and hadnt backed up for a couple of months. My phone died and I had to restore it losing loads of music.
Is there a way of redownloading it without having to pay out again?
Thanks

You could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link it'll take you to the support/contact page: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support

Retriving lost music?????

Hi all
I upgraded my ipod last year to the fifth generation when my old one crashed. I was playing with the old one the other day and low and behold I was able to get it into disk mode, so I copied all files to my computer and am now wondering how I get them back into Itunes from that funky apple format? I have most of the music all ready but I did lose a few of the tracks along the way some how and would like to restore them. It will let me import them one file at a time but not more than that. Since You can't see what the song is before you load it, it will be a looooooooooooong process to find my lost music. Any help would be greatly apprecited!!!
Thanks

hi
Thanks for the response. I have done all of that before and now again. It does not work. The songs I copied are in the Apple format (F00, F01, F02 folders and song files in four letter code such as AYLP, DFGW, etc). If I click on add folder and then select the F00, nothing happens. If I click on Add File, I click on AYLP and then it adds it. But I can't add multiple files at once. here in lies my dilema.

I have lost all my ringtones, and music...HELP ME!

I recently bought 4 songs, and 1 ringtone from the iTunes Store on my iPhone 3GS. I went to plug my iPhone in my computer so I can transfer my music from my iPhone to my computer. When none of my music files transfered I got a little worried so I looked on my phone under Sound and under Ringtone I didn't have any of my ringtones that I had bought, and I didn't have the 4 songs that I bought that night either. I have searched my phone, and I have turned it off and on, but still nothing. I have searched my computer but still nothing. I loged into my iTunes account and under Most Recent Purchase I go to Purchase History, and I can clearly see the 4 songs and 1 ringtone that have disappeared from my iPhone. I do not know how to get those ringtones back or the music back to my phone. Please help me!

Contact iTunes support & request they add the lost music to your iTunes download queue:

Apps, you can re-download for free.

Lost my downloaded music

I had a hard drive failure and lost my downloaded music, my itunes account only shows very recently purchased music, not all my old songs. Is ther any way to retreive the lost songs?

Hello,
You should see all your previous purchased songs.
To download previous iTunes Store purchases to an authorized computer:
In iTunes, click iTunes Store (below Store).
Click the Purchased link in the top-right of the Store home page (below Quick Links).
In the page that appears, select a category.iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re using Album view, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
To download an item, click the Download button to the right of the item.To download all available items, click Download All.

Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music

Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music. Is there a way to recover my music?

Not if it isn't in your itunes library. If you sync with a new computer iTunes will delete all iTunes media (such as music) from your phone and replace it with whatever media is in the new iTunes library. Sounds like that's what happened.

HT1349 About half of my music (downloaded or ripped) will not play. Re-installed, didn't help. Any suggestions?

iTunes will only play about half of my music downloaded or ripped. What is the deal? Also recording is shut off. How do I turn that back on?
Any help? Please!

Now I just uninstalled iTunes 7.7 (or whatever the latest one is) and then restarted my computer, but apparently some files have been left over, because the version of iTuens that I'm attempting to install (7.6) says that it cannot install because a later version of iTunesis installed. Then it lists a Library file and says that it cannot install because a newer version of iTunes created the Library File.
Any Help?

Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms

Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock on my desktop Mac. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms. I have tried searching folders, finder and trash

Your Downloads folder should be in your Home folder. Just drag it to the Dock.
If you've managed to delete it, try creating a new folder called 'Downloads'. You will probably need to nominate it in Safari or any other browser preferences as your download destination. (Safari Preferences>General, 'Save downloaded items to:' menu)

Zen Micro Music Download Conundrum - Really Frustrated Help Nee

<SPAN class=posttext>Man am I frustrated - really frustrated. Here is my conundrum:
I have a Zen Micro. I want to purchase music online. It is a frikin' maze of problem solving. I download from iTunes, they have some sort of proprietary format that my Zen won't play. Okay - no problem. I go to Yahoo music. You have to pay to subscribe and then download. They are wma anyway. Napster is wma as well. Walmart music is wma too. I would try Rhapsody, but I think you have to pay to subscribe and download as well. It just occurred to me - Sony has a music download site as well? I will check them next. I tried converting the Napster wma into an MP3 but I got a message the Creative software cannot convert the file. Arghhhhh.
So - what is the easy way? Is there a site I can pay and download mp3 music files and transfer them to my Zen Micro? Or is there a freeware converter to convert wma files into mp3 files - that is if the downloaded files do not have a voodoo whammy curse on them that prevents them from being converted.
Might "Play for Sure" fix this? As far as I can tell this is for subcription services, not for single downloads.
Thanks for any help.

I'm no expert, but I think Etomi would work for you. I've been downloading music from them for a while now, and while I haven't had an MP3 player to try and download the music to, I know that at the very least, music I got from Etomi is on my hard dri've, and I can burn CDs with those songs.
I also know there is some type of way to convert MP3 to WMA and vice versa although I've never done it.
just google "WMA to MP3" and you should find some sites...

Just updated my iPad with iOS 7.0.3. my iPad music downloads are messed-up, the regular album tracklist is disorganised...can't get them "back on track" who can help me out? Greets Alex

Just updated my iPad with iOS 7.0.3 > my iTunes music downloads are messed up....the regular tracklist of the albums are in chaos, can someone help me out to get them " in line" again!?

Well I basically answered my own question. I just ended up deleteing the tracks from the albums missing artwork (I highlighted all of them and right clicked delete) then just dragged over the album again that had the artwork already set and it worked like a charm.
Couldn't figure out any other way to do it. Still open to ideas for the future if anyone has any.

I just download the new iOS 7 on my ipad but I'm not seeing iTunes Radio in the music tab. Help!
