Lost some of my purchases how can I get them back?

Hi I have lost some of my purchasesd when I had to format my hard drives and lost most of my music. I hadn't backed up my itunes library, which I will do as a matter of course from now one, but is there a way I can download some of the itunes I have previously purchased again without having to pay for them again?
thanks in advance

If you are in the U.S., then use the cloud:

Otherwise, you can transfer them from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
Backup is very important.

Type move itunes library into the google serach bar.
It has always been very basic to always maintain abackup copy of your computer. Do you not have a backup copy?

I reinstalled Firefox and lost bookmarks from my computer, how can I get them back (sync ?)from my android phone ?

My bookmarks are really gone from my computer but I have them in my android phone.
I've tried to use this sync but it doesn't work. How can I get them back to the computer from my android phone ?
I have checked also backup files but they are really gone.

Hi penami,
Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you lost your bookmarks. In order to check if they are still there you can look in the profile folder on the computer [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
As for syncing from the android, it is possible to add the account to the desktop and the two should merge.

I just upgraded my iPhone4 iOs and lost ALL Phone Contacts! How can I get them back?

HELP! I've been using my iPhone consistently for ALL phone numbers, since I have serious memory problems due to fibromyalgia. I upgraded my phone last night finally, having moved my photos out of it I had the space to download and install the upgrade.
I got a nasty shock this morning when I tried to make a routine call and found ALL of my phone contacts missing. They don't seem to be either in the cloud or in the phone. What happened? It said it was storing them in the cloud but they're all gone! How can I get them back?
IF this normally happens, why should I ever upgrade? Seriously! I didn't think to copy all of it out manually before upgrading, I'd upgraded once before without any problems. Addresses and other details gone too. I've got four numbers in "Favorites" but no context for them beyond location by state. I don't even know who they are - can't recognize just the numbers.

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

I updated to the new 5.0 and lost all of my photos and some of my apps. how can i get them back

lost my pictures and some apps with update. how can iget them back?

Sync with iTunes to recover these things.
Connect the iPad to your compter and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side of iTunes and then click on the Apps tab. Go down through the list and select all of the apps that you want to put on the iPad. Do the same thing with the photos. Make sure that the headings - Sync Music and Sync Photos have been selected and then sync again.
If you have changed the configuration - you will have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

I have lost all of my changes -- How can I get them back?

I have made changes to many files in many folders. I have successfully moved several of those folders from my laptop to a USB external hard drive (as my laptop just cannot hold all photos).
This week, I purchased an installed a Network Attached Storage drive . . . and I copied all folders and photographs from my USB hard drive to the new networked drive. Then I disconnected my USB drive. Instead of then "locating" the "missing" folders (and re-mapping them one by one to the network drive), I "removed" the old folders from lightroom and re "imported" them from the new location on the network drive.
UNFORTUNATELY - none of my changes are there. How do I get these back?
Thank you for any help.

Use a backup of your catalog that you made before you did this. If you don't have one, the changes are gone.

Have done the iOS 5 update and lost some of my apps now can't get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account

Relax, nobody's ripping you off...
Apps are tied to the Apple ID you purchased them on and not the device so getting them all back is easy so long as you know the account details. To reinstall the apps just use the App Store and use the original Apple ID (account) that was used to purchase them, then re-install. If you setup a new Apple ID on your device when you initialized iOS 5 then go into the App Store app and change the account back to the one that was there before. Then go to update > Not on this iPhone and start installing...

I lost iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie! How can I get them back?

Hi,
I have a PowerBook G4, which originally came with Panther. It came with iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie, Garageband (I think that's it... basically iLife). I bought Tiger and upgraded it. These programs were all still here, and with some downloads, were actually updated. Unfortunately, I was having problems with Mail, Safari, and other programs and I erased my hard drvie and started over. Before doing this, I saved all of my photos, movies, projects, etc, to an external hard drive.
Anyway, when I reinstalled Tiger, it installed it as it comes from the store, not as an upgrade, meaning iLife is not included and installed! So, I paid for all of these programs, which were originally included, and now I don't have them anymore. I tried loading them off of my original recovery discs, but the only way I think I might be able to do that is if I erase everything and start over with Panther, then reinstall Tiger. I'm not sure this will even work, and I know it will take a long time, which I don't have.
Does anyone know how I can get these programs, which I already paid for, without buying iLife?
Thanks

I don't have panther but with my "full disc" of Tiger you can do it this way:
Put in the DVD of Tiger
Open pacifist-> press "not yet" or pay if you want
Open package, choose the DVD of Tiger, there choose "install bundled software"
then click open
now it's looking through the DVD and gives you all the options
for example:contentsofiMovieHDpackage
now click on that one once, then on the top either choose 'install" or "extract to"

HELP!! I had two libraries in iPhoto, Photos imported the wrong one, and now I have lost 10,000 photos. How can I get them back??

I originally had two libraries in iPhoto, my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why. Anyway, I updated to OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3 with the new 'photos' app. It asked me to choose one of the libraries and evidently I assume I must have chosen the wrong one. It only imported 322 random photos, not the 10,000+ we had in iPhoto. I can no longer find these photos or the other library anywhere, it appears to have been deleted. I have tried 'alt' clicking the icon which used to open a 'choose library' box, but this no longer works in photos or iPhoto. I have no idea where it has gone and it contains precious memories over the years including the birth of our children. Can someone please help???

Where is your iPhoto library stored?
my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why.
Since you are sharing it between two Macs, is the library on an external drive or a NAS, or another remotely mounted volume?
If the library is not on a directly connected disk, formatted MacOS Extended, move the original iPhoto Library to a directly connected, correctly disk.
And the try first the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools on that library. Repair the permissions, and repair the database in iPhoto. Then try to migrate again to Photos.
To repair hold down the alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First Aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
The select "Repair Permissions". And then repeat, but select "Repair Database"
But make a current backup of your iPhoto Library before you try this.

Sorry, but movies cannot be downloaded more than once without charge, so if you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

Click here and follow the instructions, or move them from the old computer. Any movies you've previously rented aren't transferable.

If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.
