Lost songs after downloading

Ok this has happened 2 times in the last week. From my iphone 4 I went to iTunes and downloaded a song by an artist. After the download I lost all that artist other songs but the one that was down loaded. Were talking full albums here and several. Were did they go? Does anyone know how to fix this ?
Please help!

I would call Apple back, explain to them that you are very upset, and if that doesn't help, tell the Apple Customer Service people that your friends are hearing about the bad costumer service at Apple (because of this particular issue) and now you are recommending that they get a PC instead of buying a new Mac. I think that will do the trick! Don't forget the part about recommending to your friends to buy a PC instead of a new Mac, that will be the selling piece!
Hope it helps,
Brandon

Lost songs after downloading from itunes

Hi,
I have gotten overly frustrated and decided to not use itunes for the last couple of months because of it! In July, I lost my itunes library when my hard drive crashed. I emailed itunes then and they told me how to get back the majority of the songs I had bought from itunes. I did these steps and found that I was still missing a great deal of bought itunes songs and albums. Some examples are albums by Jack Johnson, Colbie Caillat, and James Blunt. I did make a back up disk at one point of my itunes but I was not able to retrieve the songs off of this either. Now my itunes has the songs I was able to download back in July and a ton of broken links to all my other songs. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you

Missing Feature: Play Song After Download?

I can't seem to find it (and it won't happen). iTunes 7 will not play a song after I download it. Any ideas?

In response to your question:
Go to your prefrence pane and select "Automatically play songs after download" and then close itunes and restart just to make sure it went through.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Has anyone else lost songs when downloading 11.1.4

downloaded 11.1.4 and lost 189 songs from library does anyone know how to get them back ?

Hello ariel4g1000,
Lets see if we can get those songs back. Take a look at the article below, as it will walk you through reverting to the previous iTunes library file before the update was made. If you replace that with the current file, all the files should show up.

My itunes would not play purchsed songs after downloading from Ipod

Recently, I had to download all my songs from Ipod and start all over again. I got my Liblary back, but Itunes would not play previously purchased songs. How Cal I authorise my computer. I follow the steps to authorise, but stil would not play after even down loading the new versions of Itunes. Help!

I had a similar thing happen to me, I recovered my purchased songs from my Ipod some played but some didn't. I would say the ones you can not play even after authorizing them are currupt. Just click this link http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/lostmusic/ at the bottom of the page under the heading "Email Support" Fill out the basic info and tell them you have lost your bought music. they should email you back telling you they have set up a download quere and how to redownload your songs without having to pay for them again. Just keep in mind it may take them up to 3 days to reply to you

Lost Songs After Hard Drive Failure

Recently, my laptop hard drive failed and needed to be replaced. I was able to recover much of the music that was loaded on the drive, but many did not make it. I'm not worried about the songs that were copied from CD, but the ones that were purchased and not recovered off the failed drive.
Has anyone had this happen before and what can be done to recover my purchased music?
Thanks!

Apple highly recommends you back up all purchases and generally does not allow you to redownload lost tunes, at least officially their policy is one download only. However I have read many reports of people contacting Apple, explaining the problem and POLITELY inquiring if it is possible to redownload and have been given a second chance. So you might try that route.

I2nd Gen Ipod touch lost songs after upgrading to IOS 4.2.1.

I have 2nd Gen Ipod touch and after upgrading to IOS 4.2.1, all the music were wiped out and I can't seem to upload or sync it anymore. Tried all the fixes out there in the web to no avail. Appreciate the help.

I am having the same problem. I tried using a backup from two months ago, all of my music and apps are lost. However, my iPod DOES remember my settings for the default apps, and my contacts are still there! Tried any fix I could find to no avail, would certainly appreciate any advice!

Duplicate and quadruple of some songs after download

I just picked up a new laptop and just downloaded most of my music. Some how I have double and sometimes quadruple of almost every song. Is there an easy way to get rid of the extras prior to downloading to my new Nano?

Have a look at Teridon's iTunes Scripts, Robert has a script in there for dealing with duplicates which might be of some help: Teridon's iTunes for Windows Scripts
Just note: The duplicate eliminator in Robert's scripts package only works for these two kinds of duplicates:
1) Multiple copies of the exact same file (e.g. "Song.mp3" and "Song 1.mp3", where "Song 1.mp3" is simply a copy of Song.mp3
2) Multiple entries in the iTunes Library for the exact same file.
The script does nothing for duplicates that are the same song, but different files (e.g. encoded by someone else, has different artwork or other tags, etc.)
There are also some third party programs out there, like "Dupe Eliminator" that might help in more complicated cases. If you do a quick web search I'm sure you'll find more: Dupe Eliminator

Deleting "lost" songs after transfer?

When transfering songs from an E-book I lost alot of my library (got the ! next to songs)...how do I delete goups of songs without going through the whole list? And, is there any way to automatically delete "dead"songs from library? Thanks All

... is there any way to automatically delete "dead"songs from library?
MacMuse's User Tip should provide the solution to your problem.
Below, I've taken the liberty of making a couple of minor changes in the wording that hopefully make it just a bit easier to follow:
- Select the Music entry in your iTunes Source List (the left-hand column).
- Select/highlight all the entries. Edit menu > Select All will do the trick.
- Now go to the File menu > Get Info.
- Confirm that you want to edit information for multiple items.
- Assuming that you're not using it for actual song information, enter 99 in the BPM field. Press OK.
- Wait for iTunes to retag the song files. Depending on the size of your Music Library, this may take a while.
- Once that's finished, click on the BPM column heading in the main iTunes Library display to sort your songs based on the BPM entry. If the BPM column isn't showing, go to the View menu > View Options, check BPM and press OK.
- Since iTunes wasn't able to find the files for the "dead" tracks, it couldn't retag them and they will be listed separately from the "live" (99 BPM) tracks.
- You can now click on the first of the dead tracks and Shift-click on the last of them, then right-click > Delete.
That should be it.
As MacMuse suggests, you might now want to go back and take the 99 out of the BPM field in case you ever have to do this again.

Lost songs after organizing

Hey, I put some songs in itunes and they came up. I then organized them by adding artist album and whatnot and now they seem to have disappeared. Any help?

If they're in the itunes recently added smart playlist, they HAVE to be in itunes. Did they get changed to podcasts, or something odd like that? Or is something in the search bar that's preventing their display?
If you restart itunes, do they show?

Lost attachment after downloading

how can i recover an attachment that deleted itself on downloading

Hi,
According to your description, I know that the attachment deleted itself when you receive the message. Please correct me if there is any misunderstanding.
What's the type of your email account, Exchange account, pop3 account or etc.?
What's your email app, Outlook, OWA or etc.?
If you are using Outlook with an Exchange account, I suggest using OWA to verify whether the attachment deleted from Server.
If the attachment still exists in OWA, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
I suggest re-create profile to refresh the caches.
If the attachment doesn't exist in OWA, please check whether you have set related Outlook Rules.
Please also verify whether there is any related Transport Rules. Please run following command to get transport rules:
Get-TransportRule | fl
If there is any related rules, please remove them.
Thanks

After downloading itunes on my new computer all of my songs have an exclamation point in front of them and it says the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. How do I fix this?
