Lost music when operating system crashed

I recently lost my operating system and had to restore the computer to "New". I was able to transfer my purchases from my IPOD back to my library, however there were some songs that I bought that day that I did not sync to the IPOD, but they show up in my purchase history. How do I transfer these songs in, or how do I contact ITunes to have them help me?
thanks,
Erin

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music 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 the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

  • What do you do when the system crashes ?

    hi experts,
    i want answers for the following questions..
    1.What do you do when the system crashes in the middle of a BDC batch
    session?
    2.What do you do with errors in BDC batch sessions? and how to proceed further..
    with regards ,
    James...
    valuable answers will be rewarded...

    HI,
    There are two ways to tackle this issue.
    <b>Method..1</b>
    Thru se16 check the table(s) being updated, preferably the last table as per your code. If you have say 1600 records in the flat file check for the upload of the 1600 th record.. If not ok, check for the upload of the 800 th record(N-N/2), if OK go & check
    N+(N/2) th record  if not ok goto N-(N/2) th record where N is the curent record number in the flat file . In about 4 or five checks you will converge on the last uploaded record.
    Now from the flat file, remove the lines till the upload is ok & then re-run BDC.
    Even here a record may be uploaded partially which has to be manually edited thru se16.
    <b>Method..2</b>
    Have a zee table for uploads. Just after uploading a record into the sap table, fill this zeetable with few fields of each the records. In an abort situation this table will tell the story of the update status. Take care to empty this table occasionally.
    Regards

  • IPad Air w/ Wi-Fi + Cellular Operating System Crashes

    From the day I bought an iPad Air, I have experienced crashes. I never had this issue with any of the other models I had previously (iPad I II III & mini). Three months later while traveling, it completely died and I was instructed to reinstall the operating system. iTunes wouldn't recognize it but I got through the installation. I retored it as a new iPad and still had crashes. The iPad was replaced. The replacement started crashing (increasing with every day), and after just over a month it also completely died (reset would not revive it). Once again, I am reinstalling the operating system. Has this happen to anyone else?

    Typing from an iPad Air. No probs. I see people are having problems running 32bit apps on 64bit platforms. Maybe your storage is full? Is the backup from an older backup, because sometimes it the back ups that can be faulty. Maybe if you have time try restoring the software and set it up as a new device. See if the problem still persists.

  • CD stuck in drive and Operating System Crash

    Hi,
    I've had my ibook in storage for a couple of months and it was ok for the first few days when I got it back, but... last night it came up with a strange message when I tried to launch Civ 3 or Appleworks (but ok for Dreamweaver or Filemaker Pro) - said something about problem with library mirror file problem. Restarted, took out battery etc. all to no avail. Just got worse - just the turning cirble, then finally just the icon to show no operating system. Problem is, I've still got a CD in the drive and so can't put in the operating system disk. I had some problems about a year ago with files being overwritten and reinstalled from scratch (saved no data). Grateful for any assistance.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    Start the computer in Open Firmware by holding down
    the command-option-o-f keys at startup. You'll see a
    command line screen. Enter "eject cd" (without
    quotes) at the prompt and press return. After it's
    ejected insert the install disc and enter "mac-boot"
    and press enter. It should start from the disc in a
    few moments.
    John
    Hi John,
    Many, many thanks - cd ejected and re-installing system only.
    If you're ever in NZ I owe you a coffee...
    Cheers,

  • X-Fi Extreme Music card causes system crashes Windows Event ID 1

    I have a Dell computer running Win XP Home. After installing my new?X-Fi ExtremeMusic card my system gives me the following error at startup:"? Microsoft Windows
    The system has recovered from a serious error.
    A log of this error has been created. "?This error message does not have any supporting detail so I usually close the error message box and continue to use Windows. However after a few hours the system will suddenly crash. The Windows System Log shows:?Source? System ErrorCategory? 02Event ID? 003Error Code? 000008e?When I removed the XtremeMedia card from the computer the problems stopped. I am using the most recent driver available for this card that I downloaded from the Creative website on Jan-5-2007. Can anyone help.
    ? If I cannot get this card to work properly can I get a refund ? I have only had it 5 days.

    You are wrong. The 2.3 are for extreme music, you are thinking about extreme audio. Creative have really made a blunder with these names, not strange many are having problems. Propably trying to install extreme audio drivers on extreme music, and the other way around!?
    Check that you have the right drivers, if you do. Try the trick where you unpack the driver exe file, so you get all the files from the installer on to a folder of youre choosing. Then use the "Creative Update Utility" popup to install/force the drivers to install. If you dont know what im talking about, search the forums, its been explained many times here.

  • Lost preferences when InDesign CS6 crashes or force-quits

    For the most part InD CS6 is pretty stable although I've had a few crashes. On occasion InDesign will hang up when I click to sign out of a Folio Builder account. Eventually I just have to force-quit InD. When I relaunch InD CS6 all my user preferences are lost, including all my Print Presets and Document Presets and InDesign restarts as though I'm launching it for the very first time. This has happened often enough now that I keep a good copy of my InDesign Defaults preference file on my desktop so I can copy it back to User/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 8.0/en_US folder before I relaunch. Sometimes I have to do this twice before InD will recognize my user preference file.
    This never happened with older version of InDesign. If InDesign CS5 crashed or require a force-quit it would always relaunch with the last saved preference version. InDesign CS6 is actually updating the preference file each time I legitimately quit the application and everything is as it should be except when there is a crash or force-quit -- then it simply ignores the last-saved preference file and reverts to some "first-launch" preference. I have no idea why this is happening.
    I'm hoping if someone there at Adobe can tell me if this is a bug that will be addressed in a future update, because I don't know what I can do other than keep my backup pref file handy. It's either that, or reload all the Saved Print Presets, Save Document Presets, and then go through the list of Preferences each time there is a crash or I have to force-quit.
    I'm using an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 with 4GB RAM, running Lion 10.7.5

    Finally figured it out. Cache files were interferring. I went to User/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version 8.0/en_US folder and noticed tons of cache files. I opened another user account on my computer, which I rarely use, and noticed that account had a small handful of folders and files and never had the problem of losing preferences. So I went back to my main user account, deleted all the cach files, figuring that InDesign would recreate new ones anyway.
    Now when InDesign crashes (which is less frequent now) at least my preferences aren't all lost.
    Hope this helps.

  • My computer (XP operating system) crashed with my adobe acrobat Pro 8.0 and I need to put it on my new computer (windows 7.0 operating system)

    I have have the seriel #

    Hi Medina ,
    Acrobat 8 is an older version .It might not be compatible with Windows 7 .
    Try upgrading it to the latest version .i.e Acrobat 11.0.10 or any higher versions than Acrobat 8.
    Many folks have gotten AA8 to work on Win7. I have only heard of one report suggesting that AA8 will work on a 64-bit system, and I am not sure about the report. If you have a 64-bit system, you will likely need to upgrade, though if you play around you might be successful in finding a solution (Adobe will not help since it is not a certified platform, but some folks here might if they have been successful).
    In any case, after installation you will need to do the updates for proper operation. If you can not do them from within Acrobat, you may have to download them fromhttp://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. You need to install the updates in ORDER unless indicated other wise. Reboots can typically be saved until the last update is installed.

  • Lost music when traded in iphone for 3GS

    I had bought a brand new iphone 3G a week before the 3GS was released. As a result i traded in the 3G fo[r the 3GS for free but i lost all of my downloaded music. Is there anyway i can get my music back??

    You didn't have your music in iTunes on your computer?

  • Lost music when syncing

    Can anyone tell me what happened when i synced my phone to my boyfriends computer to download a movie on Itunes and all my music in my IPOD app disappeared and got replaced by his music? Now I can't get my music back. Does anyone know how to get my music back?

    Iphone will sync itunes content to one computer. If you sync to another, ti will erase the current content from iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
    Your music should be on the computer with which you normally sync. Just sync it back to the iphone.

  • Lost music when upgrading

    Hi,
    i just upgraded to 7.0.2.16. when i opened up itunes all of my music was gone. i managed to get it back by going to "add folder", but i still don't have any of my playlists or rating information. how can i get that info back?
    ps:
    my does apple make a simple upgrade such a pain in the ***?!

    Hi
    I had the same trouble upgrading from 7.01 to 7.02. I have tried copying files back from the previous itunes directory and deleting the new one, but it does not work. This does not suprise me completely, because if itunes was able to import the files, surely it would have done it in the first place.
    The only think I can think is that I selected 'let itunes organise your music' option. perhaps I should have taken the manual approach like I normally do.
    I have found my music and can play it. At least I didn't have too many playlists, but it does not encourage me to ues itunes as my default music player - which is what I was previously considering.
