Lost my music after reinstalling windows

Hi all.
So the problem i got was that i decided to reinstall my windows by making a fresh reinstallation and so i made sure that i backed everything up even my itunes library onto a flash drive.
After the reinstallation, i put it all back into my computer as well as the music by selecting it and dragging straight into itunes. I then erased it from my flash drive thinking i had nothing to worry about. Today i tried to play music and my itunes tells me that it cannot locate the songs, which is 100% bs because i personally saw to it that it all got into the library, but now it seems that i have lost my whole library of music since i deleted it all.
At this point i am dissapointed and angry at itunes for this inconveinence that they have put unto me.
In my opinion, itunes has come a long way, but now that i just lost all that i had, i have lost all interest with itunes.

Did you confirm that you have checked Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings?

  • Dozens of open tabs lost! Synced them, reinstalled Windows and Firefox, set up Sync, looked up "tabs on other devices" in history - Only a third or so listed.

    Dozens of open tabs lost! Synced them, reinstalled Windows and Firefox, set up Sync, looked up "tabs on other devices" in history -> Only a third or so listed.
    Usually, when I reinstall Windows, I manually backup my Firefox bookmarks and open tabs, but because Sync has worked perfectly for me in the past, I didn't do it this time. I backed up all my other files and settings and whatnot from the rest of my system, then in Firefox I hit the Sync button (put in on the GUI so I see if it's syncing or done) for the last time, waited until the green rotating dot was gone, closed Firefox, shut down the system, formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows and Firefox. After setting up Sync I waited a while to make sure everything is on my system.
    Then I wanted to have all the tabs and windows open as I had on the old system, so I went to the history and "tabs on other devices". I could already see from the small size of the list, that tabs were missing. I went through all of them, opened them and sorted them into windows.
    -> Maybe about two thirds of the tabs I had open on my old system are gone!
    Not just new tabs that might not have been synced (although the button showed sync was complete), but also old tabs (from weeks ago) that must have been synced before. Actually maybe especially or even only the old ones are lost. And the lost tabs are not just from one of the open windows, but from several.
    What can I do to recover my lost tabs?
    They contain important websites that I didn't bookmark yet, articles that I wanted to read, windows with dozens of tabs on a topic that I did some research for and stuff like that.
    What does the green circle mean? Does it indicate that the sync is complete (to the Firefox servers) or just that the changes have been saved locally and set up for some next scheduled sync with the Firefox servers?
    Further info:
    I always run the newest stable release of Firefox (v19 on both systems). Old system was Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation, new system is Windows 8 Pro. My used Sync quota is about 10 MB. I had 4 Firefox windows open with different amount of tabs in each of them, from 10 to maybe 80 with an overall amount of 150-200. Most of them weren't loaded. Firefox start is set to "load last session" and tabs are set to "load when selected". Memory usage 500 MB - 1 GB.

    I have most of the items bookmarked. Having 200 - 300 tabs open saves time, since I don't have to go to the bookmarks, if the tabs are already open. One problem has been crashes, but as long as I can restore a previous session, I can still get to the data. I had quite a few tabs open when I was planning to purchase a new computer. I also follow the stock market, and the weather. I was also looking at various VIrtual Private Networking (VPN) sites. At one time, I probably had 20 - 50 tabs open, just for those. I did bookmark a few, but unfortunately lost the VPN tabs, when Firefox crashed. Even if I don`t go to a particular group of tabs very often, leaving it open is faster, especially since I will know where they are. I often put the computer in standby mode, rather than shutting it off, especially if I will remain in the same location.

  • Sync problem after reinstalling windows

    Last week I had Windows XP with the latest version of iTunes and my iPod could sync without any problems. But after I installed Windows 7, even if I have the same iTunes version, it won't sync anymore. I even tried a reset on the iPod and reinstalling iTunes, nothing works. I don't even get an error message. All it says is this:
    The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. An internal device error occured.
    The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. A folder was specified instead of a file.
    The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (0xE8004006).
    The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. There are too many files open currently.
    Another one with a duplicate file, but I can't get it to appear right now.
    It's always a different one. And sometimes iTunes even crashes and I have to reopen it.
    What should I do?

    have chosen to manually manage my iTunes library rather than copying all these MP3s to the iTunes folder.
    Do you mean you checked *Manually manage music and videos* when the iPhone is selected? This is completely sepearate from managing yoru library. This allows you to manually manage the content on the iPhone.
    Can I backup iTunes without actually making a backup of all my music files?
    Yes. Copy /Music/iTunes/folder to the external drive.
    My problem is that after reinstalling Windows my iPhone now wants to erase itself
    So you have already reinstalled Windows?
    If so, you cannot backup anything that is not there since you you already erased it when you reinstalled Windows.
    BEFORE you reinstall Windows, you need to Deauthorize iTunes and backup /Music/iTunes/folder and all your media.

  • TS1702 After reinstalling windows, I cannot transfer app purchases to my iphone.

    I had to wipe the hard drive on my computer after it got a virus that I was unable to remove. I backed everything up before wiping the hard drive. After reinstalling windows, I installed itunes and synced my iphone with my computer. Itunes recognizes that I purchased apps previously as they downloaded to my library, and I can make new purchases in the store. However, after purchasing an app, when I try to drag and drop the app to my phone through itunes, a little circle with a slash through it appears and it will not let me download the app to my phone. I can download apps through my phone, but I would like to be able to sync them with my computer as well since I have to put music on my iphone and I generally only purchase through amazon. How can I fix this? Thanks!

    I am having the same issue. I tried rebooting/resetting my iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Restarted iTunes. Still unable to update Apps.  Screen is clouded/gray.  Cannot even move the Apps on the screen. When I press/hold an App on the iPhone to make them jiggle, I use to get the circle X on the App to delete. That is no longer available.

  • Can't open PSD file after reinstall windows 7 64 bit

    After reinstalling windows 7 stopped opening some files PSD files. I try to open them with Photoshop version 6, it does not work. I tried to open them on the laptop, same garbage. Tell me what the problem is. And how to fix it.
    Thank you.

    Perhaps these files were corrupted. I can not say how it happened, but it is quite possible. And the files are no longer open, immediately after reinstalling windows? Or not?
    If so, it is quite rare in my opinion. You are very unlucky. Try reinstalling photoshop. Then check these files were opened or not. If not. Then the only option is a special software. I would use on your site this program

  • I lost all music after an update on itouch, how do i restore

    lost all music after update , how do you restore it?

    You can go to iTunes, and download any music tracks for free if you have already downloading them. Same goes for apps, go to the App Store on your iPod, Updates, and then Purchased. From there, download anything for free (that you purchased before). All app progress will be saved too.
    OR, if you have a reliable backup, you can restore from that.

  • How to sync with Firefox sync after reinstalling Windows? I only have one device.

    Just like this user I was syncing only one device. After reinstalling windows, I can't reconnect and I don't have the recovery key...
    What can I do? To access my bookmarks, favorites, etc?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately I'm missing the recovery key and don't synch with other devices so I guess that means I'm out of luck...
    Maybe this is something that can be added to the roadmap for future improvements. I don't see a reason why you can't get your information back after a reset if you've only got one device.

  • Cannot sync device after reinstall Windows

    Cannot sync device after reinstall Windows 7.
    It is fine when transfer from devices to itunes, but cannot transfer from iTunes to devices. Computer is authorize, same apple store login on both itunes and ipad, but it just wouldn't allow me transfer the apps.

    Was this installed from the CD or from a download from HP?
    With one system working and this one not working, it sounds like an issue with the software than anything else.

  • Can't access my apple lossless files on external hard drive after reinstalling windows 8.1

    Hi guys
    New to this. I reinstalled windows 8.1 after windows continually asking me to change my password after not recognising it despite it being the right one. All my apple lossless tunes are on my external hard drive. Windows keeps saying 'I don't have access to this file currently'. I tried right clicking on hard drive, clicked properties, and tried assigning administrator rights to everyone but still no luck. Contacted windows who said it was an apple issue so here I am.
    Can anyone help. I've got 900 albums on this hard drive and the thought of ripping them all again is stressing me.
    Thanks guys
    Stuart

    Changing the path to the media folder doesn't change which database iTunes opens. If your original database is on the external drive then shift-start-iTunes and use the choose option to open it. If you no longer have access to the original database shift-start-iTunes and create a new empty library at X:\iTunes, where X: is the external drive letter, ensure the media folder is set to X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, move all of your content inside X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, use File > Add Folder to Library > X:\iTunes\iTunes Media. See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. There are some scripts near the end that can extract ratings, play counts and playlists from your device and the rest of the tip explains how you backup and restore the device with the new library to avoid losing data.

  • How to keep my playlists and ratings in iTunes after reinstalling Windows ?

    Hi,
    I would like to know how can I keep my playlists and ratings after reinstalling a fresh copy of windows.
    Thank you in advance,

    You need to go to each device and make sure there is a wireless profile configured for the SSID, and then save it as the default wireless connection. This may be easier if you configure each device prior do disabling the SSID.
