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.
For more information you can read this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1706
Hope this will help.

  • I have lost previously downloaded music during back-up.

    I am trying to find music that I have lost during previous back-ups with older versions of iTunes, I had backed up my library to my external hard drive. I know where they are and am unable to get my music back. I have tried opening them. I have tried dragging and dropping them into my iTunes. I have tried double clicking, but have had no results. Any suggestions? Is my music lost forever?
    I tried updateing my current iTunes to the latest version and it is running into install errors also. So...that was a bust as well. :'(

    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.  Use this to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy (not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

    I updated my 3g iphone to the ISO 5.0 & now i lost all the music that I had downloaded from CD's, but all the music i purchased is still there. How can I get my CD music back on my phone?

    for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
    connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • After the last update of itunes I seem to have lost all my music (Cds that I had downloaded into itunes) except the once I had purchased from the itunes store. Can anyone help? Do you know what might have happened?

    After the last update of itunes I seem to have lost all the music that I had downloaded from my Cds. It was a lot of music! All I still have is the music that I had purchased in the itunes store. And before you asked. No, I did not have a backup. Never got around to do it.
    Does anyone of you have an idea if and how I can maybe get my music back?
    Your help is very much appreciated. Would it help if I recover my computer from an earlier date?? I am not even sure if I make sense here.

    Hi - I seem to have a similar problem. I was prompted to update to iPhoto 11 yesterday (don't know why yesterday, I'm in iPhoto all the time). So I followed the instructions, library updated, all existing events and albums are there. I uploaded some more pictures and created a few new albums and did some new year spring cleaning, moving stuff around etc. And I started making a calendar.
    I've opened it up today, my calendar is still there as are all the new events, but the pictures are empty outlines. If I open up a picture I just get the "!" but I can still see the thumbnails showing in the slider in the bottom - I don't know if that means the source files must still be there somewhere, or if it just means it captured thumbnails yesterday.
    I've gone into it via "show package contents" and there just don't seem to be any masters for an upload yesterday. I also just had a look in the last import folder, because of a comment from someone above. As I scrolled down through the folder the images were there and literally disappeared in front of me - by which I mean, the thumbnails were there as I scrolled down and then would turn into empty outlines...!
    All my old folders are still there, thankfully (although they're of course the ones that are also all safely back up).
    Although I have a timecapsule, my photo library is too big to keep on my hard drive, so I keep it on an external drive - so it only gets backed up when I do it manually (thanks Apple for that, I will never understand why it was designed to work - or not work - that way). So if the pictures have been lost then they are gone for good which is super-frustrating (I just got back from South Korea and was in the middle of sorting out all my shots from that trip).  It seems that this can only have happened because of the update - I should have known better than to have pressed yes.
    If you have any ideas, I'd be most grateful!
    Regards

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

    I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

    I lost all content on my ipod after connecting it to a new computer. I had brought my iTunes library over from the old computer and had the most recent iTunes installed, but iTunes didn't see the ipod. Long & short of it is I worked with Apple support, finally was able to restore the ipod and everything looked like it was syncing normally. When I ejected the ipod there was no content on it at all. After trying several times unsuccessfully to get it reloaded and another session with Apple support, they suggested the ipod was damaged. Since it was working fine up till that point I doubted that. I then thought it might be the iTunes library that was corrupt so I checked that. (It's fine.) So I found an ipod repair place (authorized Apple dealer) and when I called them they found that it appears to be an issue with iTunes software itself and pretty much said I have to wait for an update to fix the issue. So I did everything you're supposed to do & it messed up my ipod. Now iTunes doesn't recognize thje ipod again!

  • Computer stolen and all downloaded music lost

    Hi, I am trying to find a way to regrant a download of music I have purchased through itunes over the last three or four years. We had our computer stolen and all the downloads. While we have the music on our ipod and old iphone (bought a new one this week) I cannot download music from them to our new computer or new phone. I would really like to have the music I purchased back in our itunes. I have called apple and they said to go to the chat support. So here I am....I think I am in the right place.
    thanks so much

    Have you looked at these instructions? iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Failing this, if you click on this link it'll take you to the support/contact page, from there click on Music Purchases then the Lost or Missing Items option. From there click on "Email Us" and explain your problem: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support

    shouldnt be too hard for them to not have sync as the default
    Not difficult at all but iTunes is meant to be very simple to use. No one would know how to sync their music if the default was to not sync it.
    many people will have an ipod that hoops up to itunes for first time and then will sync up and lose all songs
    One big reason to make regular backups.

  • Lost Itunes Purchased music ... Can you download old purchased songs?

    I just lost my entire music catalog and am trying to download my purchases that I have made with the iTunes music store. Anyone have any idea how to do this or if theres some kind of support number to call. I know you can view your purchase history on iTunes but how do you download them again if youve already paid

    Hello:
    You may not want to "hold your breath", but my music library was restored free of charge by apple in less than 12 hours!
    Just send them an email or contact customer support by phone (they're very helpful).
    Do be sure to back up your files because they tell me they can only do this once.
    Also visit an Apple store if you can, they have "genius bars" in them which feature Apple employees that will provide free technical support and answer your questions!!
    See if you can get that kind of support the next time you purchase a PC from Frys...
