LOST MY ITUNES HOW DO I PUT THEM BACK?

I have an ipod and unfortunately I didnt back up my itunes that were on my laptop. My laptop crashed, lost everything off the hard drive. I have since purchased a new desktop. I dont know much about itunes and all but I was wondering how (if possible) I can get the songs from my ipod back to my computer? I dont know much about computers either and I may just be screwed but i dont want to lose all my music that I paid for.

See Zevoneer's answer on the following thread.

Once you have recovered everything, I would strongly suggest that you begin a REGULAR BACKUP program for your music.

  • I have lost my itunes and can't get them back. How do I do it?

    I have lost my itunes library and cannot get them back. How do I do it?

    '''Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
    Press ALT+ V T M (CTRL+V T M on Macs) on your keyboard. This should restore the menu bar (Firefox 3.6)
    '''Other toolbars'''
    View|Toolbars|Select the desired Toolbar
    '''Other steps to try'''
    Try restoring the default set by going to View|Toolbars|Customize| Restore Default Set. This will put the toolbars back in the default place
    '''Safe Mode'''
    You May need to reset toolbars and controls via [[Safe Mode]]
    Make sure you completely close Firefox first. When you get to the Safe Mode window, select Reset toolbars and controls and then Make Changes and Restart.
    Hope this helps!

    I have ringtones on itunes how can I put them on my iphone

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some strange reason you have failed to backup ( not good at all), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Some of my albums on itunes ave split, how do i put them back together?

    some of my albums on itunes have split, how do I put them back together?

    - Are the apps missing or are the icons white?
    - If missing have yu tried using the Spotlight search and trying to find them?
    - Have you tried downloading them on your iPad and then syncing?
    - Have you tried deleting them on the computer and then syncing?  That might also delete them from the iPad so you can redownal them
    - Have you tried reetting the iPad?
    Reset iPad:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Select all the songs you want to be in one album, right click and choose "Get Information", delete the album name, if any, and type the one you want. You can also paste the Artwork in the right bottom box. Then click "Accept".

    Try:

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • I synced my phone to my computer. When updated with iOS7.0.2 I lost all my contacts, photos and music. I lost everything? How can i get them back? Is there any backup?

    I synced my phone to my computer. When updated with iOS7.0.2 I lost all my contacts, photos and music. I lost everything? How can i get them back? Is there any backup?

    Everything should be on your computer.
    You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
    You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
    Most especially before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?

  • HT201272 I have lost my audiobooks, how do I get them back?

    I have lost my audiobooks, how do I get them back?

    From your backup copy of your computer.
    Your audiobooks will only be where you put them.  It is your responsibility to back up your content.
    Audiobooks are a one time download.

  • Installed Ios7 on 4s lost my apps how do I get them back

    I lost my apps on phone after ios7 update I found them on app updates how do I put them back on phone

    With all due respect, I think it's a bug when what is added are several blank screens separating a full screen of icons and the REST of the icons. I actually had 2 entirely blank screens before the majority of my icons started appearing again. I consider it a bug when many people have the same problem over a rather simple procedure. As people have found out, the apps were not "lost" in terms of being uninstalled...they were simply misplaced. Its not too difficult to understand someone's concern when when 5 pages of apps are seemingly replaced with one full screen and a single app on the following page and then blank pages....is it? I don't understand your statement below, when that is exactly the problem many were having and was a solution was explained by Joao81
    above...after reading his post, the problem was solved. Call it what you want, it is a problem...just Google it.
    "It would have been a bug if it scrambled your icons with the new ones, or put the new ones on a later page where you might never see them."
    Isn't that what I said?

  • I just downloaded the new iOS 5.0 and did all of the backup prompted steps beforehand, but I can't figure out how to get all of my apps and music back on my iPhone. Where did they go and how can I put them back on my iPhone?

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • Recovered files in the trash.  How do I put them back to their original place so that they do not keep being recovered very time I open my Mac?

    I keep getting the same recovered files in the trash.  How do I put them back to their original place so that they do not keep being recovered very time I open my Mac?

    The recovered files are temporary files used by Mac OS X applications. Usually temporary files are deleted by an application when it no longer needs them. If an application quits unexpectedly, the temporary files may not be deleted by the application. When you restart your computer, Mac OS X moves these temporary files to the Trash.
    You can retrieve useful files by dragging them out of the Trash. In most cases, however, the temporary files are not important and it is safe to empty your Trash. Check with the manufacturer of the application if you are not sure.
