I had to clean up my registry due to a virus. I backed up my files but I need to reinstall ITunes. I don't know where my music library is or how I can retrieve it. Can I somehow get it back by copying the music from my Ipod device back into a newly installed ITunes?
Your iTunes library should still be in <User's Music>\iTunes where it was before you started. What happens if you start iTunes now? Does it appear with an empty library or ask questions about scanning for media as if it had just been installed? Did the clean up process involve creating a new profile?
If your library still exists on your computer it will be best to get that working again instead of attempting the more difficult task of extracting your media from your device.

I think I just lost my whole music library, help!
Hello everyone! First off, i'm in my late 60's and have worked in maual labor my entire life. I'm really trying hard to increase my knowledge of technical devices. I own a classic iPod, 80GB, model #MB029LL and version 1.1.2 PC. I'm also running windows on my computer. (Gateway) 4+ years ago, I spent weeks adding over 2,000 songs to my iPod, from CD's. Shortly after, major and limiting health problems occurred and my iPod sat in a drawer for 3 years. During that time, my computer fried and the hard drive was toast. Health is much better now, and we have a new computer. So all my songs were on my iPod and i was able to connect it to iTunes. I was going to get help via apple support but they wanted $29. Being the stubborn man I am, I decided that i could figure out how to transfer all my songs from my iPod to my iTunes account. I back up my iPhone to a iTunes page so i thought this was the correct site. I tried to transfer the songs to iTunes and i ended up getting rid of all the songs. I'm completely dumbfounded and I'm ready to accept help. I really hope I haven't lost everything.
So my question is, is there a way to retrieve all 2000+ songs and put it back on my iPod and the iTunes account? I appreciate anyone's suggestions in this matter. I'm no spring chicken, but I desperately want to understand and keep learning.
Thanks in advance,

Refreshing music library DONT works
hi, i am using 5730xm i just brought it 4 days ago.
it works perfectly well when i transfer songs from my computer to the phone, however when i refresh the music library, the songs WILL NOT be updated. i used the search function on the phone and search for the songs, they are there but i dont know where is it located at. because i cant find it in the music library.
helps are appreciated. thanks please.
Solved!
Go to Solution.have you tried copying the songs directly to the root folder of the memory card on your phone via the Mass Storage connection mode. then try refreshing the music library. i haven't had any problems doing it that way at all.
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post! -
I bought a song on iTunes and it started downloading but then about half way through it seemed to stop downloading so I pressed the square stop button in he middle of the downloading circle so that I could try and restart the download. But when I went back to iTunes, instead of having the cloud and the arrow to let me download the song from the cloud next to it, it said "Play" as if I had already downloaded the song. So I went back to my music library to try and find the song but it's not there and iTunes isn't letting me download it cause it says I already have it. Please help.

So, I'm trying to sync all my Jason Mraz to my iPhone. On iTunes, after I plug in my iPhone to my MacBookPro, on the iPhone tab I check the artist "Jason Mraz." I then sync my phone. I goes through the process then when I check the music library on my iPhone nothing shows up. I then try the same procedure with checking each individual album. Same thing. I tried turning the phone off and on to see if it would show up after I did that, and still nothing. Please help me!!
Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

I am trying to home share with my new MacBook. The music library I am wishing to share is not displaying anywhere on my new laptop under music or library. My computer is authorized and I have tried restarting itunes, etc. Any help/ideas?
Are you using the same ID for homesharing on all devices.
By the way shared libraries don't show up under either 'Music' or 'Libraries'. -

Help: failed iBook, how can I transfer safely my music library to a new Mac
My iBook display won't work anymore and also connecting an external monitor does not help. Probably the graphic card has failed and the repair is not worth. I will most likely buy a new iMac in the next days.
Now the problem. How can I get all my iPod music and playlists to the new iMac.
I have my 20+ Gbyte of music on the iPod and (fortunately) the library is on an external hard disc.
The iPod is in autosync with the iBook.
HOWEVER the music library database file and .xml file are still on the iBook, so I will probably not be able to recover them anymore!
The question is:
- is there a way to copy the music from the external hard disk to the new Imac AND re-sync the iPod to the new iMac without loosing the song ratings, playlists etc.?
- I know there are third-party applications to copy music/playlists from the iPod itself, but I have been discouraged as the massive copy operation could damage the iPod hard-disk.
Hence I would prefer to recover the music files from the external hard disk.
I know I could simply import the music in the new iTunes installation from the hard disk, but in this way I would have to scratch the iPod and re-associate it with the new iTunes, loosing all playlists and songs ratings.
Thanks a lot in advance

iBook Mac OS X (10.3.9)Hey- I'm in a little different position, but thought that whoever answers the above poster's questions probably knows the answer to mine too.
I have all my songs on an external hard drive which my computer has been having trouble recognizing. Therefore, I can't access my songs. Am I understanding the original poster above correctly that I have to purchase some 3rd party software to transfer those songs from my iPod back to my iBook? -
Basically my iPhone 4 asked for my Apple ID and I entered it thinking it was just some check or something and then I've just been scrolling through my music library and there is a whole U2 album there and i have never even heard of U2... i clicked on one of the songs to see what it was and it came up with "This device is already associated with an apple ID. If you download past purchases with your apple ID, you cannot auto download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days."
I Can't delete the album like I can with my other music from my phone and I don't really want to connect my phone to my laptop incase I have been hacked and it could give the person all access to my phone?
Pde lease help me out, I don't know what's happened:(Do the half billion copies of the album they gave away count as "sales"?
Let's see... An album has to sell 500,000 copies to go gold, 1,000,000 copies to go Platinum, 10,000,000 copies to go diamond... What will they come up with for 500,000,000 copies sold?
Something radioactive would be cool... though difficult to display safely on the wall... -
Match lost my entire music library. It isn't in my music on my phone. That's over $1500 in music, lost Please help.
" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. -
Disappointed with IOS7, i had organized my music library as per the Genre and now im unable to hear all the songs of the same genre like in the earlier versions. The options of "all albums" and "all songs" are missing in this version of IOS. Help Please..
It would be nice if you told others the steps you've tried and/or how you used to have your setup.
Anyway have you tried tapping MORE this will then bring you to
the selection-list of Audiobooks, Genres, Compilations & Composers.
Selecting Genres gives you a list of all your music split into genres which was set within the Music downloaded via iTunes or uploaded from CD or which you may have set yourself.
Then you just select the Genre you want:
If certent songs are not correctly gategorised you may need to go into iTunes and reselect via Get-info
>Info>Genre and change it there. That way you should end up with all songs of Jazz or other in 1 place. -
I reinstalled my computer's operating system. How do I transfer music from my Ipod to my music library? It transfered some, but not all my music. I authorized the computer, but it did not help.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
The ipod is not a backup device.
You need to copy everything back using your backup copy. -
Itunes needs help finding a 1/3 of my music library. is there an easier way
this is my 3rd post to this question with no responses as of yet. please help
"a couple of weeks ago i decided i needed to move my itunes folder to an external hd to save space on my macbook. everything was smooth except for itunes not being able to find a quarter of my music and me having to locate the songs one by one. i bought an iphone yesterday and decided my life would be much easier to move the music back to the computer and make room by moving other things off the macbook. i was also thinking this may remedy the missing file problem. nope. i know how to find the songs and they're in the right place, just wondering if there is an easier way then locating 3000+ songs individually? not sure whats going on. thanks "Again many thanks. I have tried to tidy up the folders as per your idiot guide- which term is appropriate for me
Under iTunes Media though I do not have folders for Books,iPod Games, Mobile Applications, Movies, TV Shows so I only have Auto Add to iTunes, Music, Downloads and Podcasts - My question here is is this OK.
Next - Library files that you mention are there but do not end .itdb
Next - in the main iTunes folder followingon from Artwork and Media folders there is some other iTunes database stuff like Library Extras, Library Genius, Library and Music Library(xml) all dated 10/02/12 plus MimiPlayer .dll dated 21/02/14 and Set Up Short Cut dated22/03/14
AND there is also a Programme Files folder with a sub folder holding file folders called CD Configuration,iTunes Resources, iTunes Help Resources, iTunes Mini Player Resources and Mozilla Plugins all dated 24/03/14 ( when I downloaded the new iTunes) and then a lot of application extension stuff from 2011
To recap I unistalled the old 32 bit iTunes and installed the new 11.1.5 (64 bit) version over the weekend SO is any of the old stuff listed above required.
Outcome right now is that as previously I can only call up the Downloaded music not Podcats or CD copies.

How do I get my music from Media Center to my iphone 4s. Itunes 10.5 won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone plugged into the USB port so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.
Hello and welcome to the support community
As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.
