Most of my songs are gone and I want them back

I recently was asked by iTunes if I wanted my songs stored in the cloud or on my computer.  Not thinking I said the cloud.  Most of my songs are not available because they have an "error".  I want my library of songs back.

According to other forums this is simply caused because of a backup problem (this can be any number of things). You can either restore to the backup yourself (if the backup is not corrupted and still available) sync everything back on manually
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Thanks

  • My bookmarks are gone and I want them back -- DO NOT TELL ME TO SEE YOUR LOST BOOKMARKS SECTION, I ALREADY HAVE AND IT IS NOT RELEVANT.

    My bookmarks are gone, yet again. This has happened before, but last time it was fine. I was able to restore them since they get saved automatically some days. This time, the "restore" option is not working. It says it can't get to the files or something. My bookmarks are VERY important to me. I would like them back. And please, PLEASE do not tell me to check the "lost bookmarks" section. I read through everything that looked applicable and none of it helped in the least. I apologize if I am being rude, but my bookmarks ARE ALL BLOODY GONE! I even looked in some MozillaZine thing for help, and it hasn't helped at all! It just tells me "this is here, which is a bunch of letters and numbers you'll never understand, and that's there, which is ANOTHER bunch of letters and numbers you'll never understand!!" NONE OF IT MAKES ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER! I want to talk to someone personally about this. An English-speaking human, preferably. God, I don't even CARE! Just help me get them back!!

    I've encountered the same problem; I (reluctantly) upgraded Firefox after years of happily using version 2, and discovered that I should have, apparently, saved my bookmarks before updating.
    There is NO "places.sqlite" file anywhere on my hard drive.
    Following the procedure at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost+Bookmarks#Restoring_bookmark_backups restores the bookmarks folder saved *today*. . . after Firefox reverted to a *two year old file* and saved it over my existing one. (How do I know it's two years old? It has house search information from before my toddler's birth, that's how.)
    There is no bookmarkbackups folder.
    Searches across my hard drive for the following files turn up nothing useful:
    * bookmarks.bak
    * bookmarks.html
    * bookmarks.html.moztmp
    * bookmarks-(date).html
    * bookmarks-(date).json
    Oh, there *is* a bookmarks.html file that's larger than the 7/2 one that's been created; it is, however, from a transfer from IE bookmarks dated 2006.
    None of the rest exit. Even searching for just the extension of .json turns up nothing.
    I really, really want my bookmarks back, and I am not thrilled about this; I trusted Firefox not to screw up on an upgrade, and that's the only reason I didn't make a backup before installing. Silly me.

    1. Have you applied sync settings for music to be synced to the iPhpne?
    2. Photos that are synced to the iPhone cannot be deleted directly from the iPhone

    Check Settings>General>Restrictions to be sure Camera, Safari and Installing Apps are set to On.  If they are check all your screens and inside all your folders.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

    just had my ipod replaced my apple as there was a fault with it but now all my purchased songs have gone is there anyway off gettig them back and no i didn't back them up before it broke....

    If you are the USA and using the latest iTunes you can redownload most iTunes purchased via the iCloud beta:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise you can contact iTunes and they MAY allow a redownload.   To contact iTunes see:

  • I backed up my iphone to my itunes account and now all my contacts are gone can I get them back?

    I backed my Iphone up to my new Itunes account and I have lost all my contacts.  Please tell me there is a way I can get them back?

    Check this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    This is what it says under "iTunes will back up the following information":
    Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.
    Sounds like you may have experienced some of the "contact data loss".  I suggest using iCloud in the future.

  • Reset my Ipod and all my songs are gone - and I can't get them off itunes!!

    I recently reset my ipod because it was frozen. Now I find that most of my music - the stuff I purchased from itunes is no longer on it. Even though my laptop is authorized - and the only computer I have that's authorized - it won't let me update my ipod with all my purchased music. Please help I am freaking out because all this music is for my reception at my wedding!!

    OK, you need the iPod 101 course.
    But....if you connect your iPod to your laptop, things should be back to normal.
    If you want to hook your iPod up to more than one PC you have to set it for manual update....which is not the default. The default is automatic update.

  • The "read" emails in one of my 3 email accounts have disappeared. I changed no settings and checked the view and they are gone. I need them back! Help!

    Suddenly my main email account is not showing the emails I've kept in line...the other accounts haven't changed at all. I changed no settings, checked everything, no tags are in place. I shut down the program and opened it and nothing. I need those messages back! Where could they be??? Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!

    There are several possible reasons that messages seem to 'disappear'.
    There are two types of email accounts: IMAP and POP. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts
    If you have a POP account and are accessing the mail on more than one computer or smartphone, whichever device reads (downloads) the message first will have it locally, but it will no longer be listed or available on the other devices.
    If you have an IMAP account, the message stays on the server, but if one device (user) moves or deletes the message, it will affect the view on all devices. So, for example, if you are using your smartphone and take some action on an email, when you get back to your computer, it will reflect that same action (but you might not have realized what caused it).
    Sometimes the index of a mail folder (.msf) will get corrupted. If you right click on the name of the folder and select Properties, a 'Folder Properties' window will open. Select 'Repair Folder'. This may take care of the problem.
    Another, less likely, reason for messages not to show up in your inbox is having the preference set to show only unread or recent messages. Then once you read them they seem to disappear.
    If you are still having problems, please look at the following items and respond with the information.
    1) What operating system do you use (Win8, MAC, Linux, etc)?
    2) Are you using IMAP or POP?
    3) If your mail server has a browser interface (web mail access such as mail.google.com), do the messages show up there?
    4) Right click on the folder in question and select Properties.
    a) Number of messages?
    b) Size on disk?
    5) Left click on the account name; View settings for this account; highlight Server settings;
    What choices are marked under "When I delete a message"?
    6) What, if any, antivirus program do you have installed?
