My computer and my iphone crashed, so how do I get my music and apps back?
My OS went out on PC while reinstalling Windows my iphone froze. I took my phone to the apple store and the only way they could fix my was to to reset it. The reset restore my phone to new, which wiped off all of my pictures, contacts, music, calendar, and apps. I discovered later that reinstalling Windows wiped my itunes clean. Fortunately, I was able to get a few of my contacts from my google accounts, but not any of the one I had gotten recently. How can I get back everything I have purchased and downloaded over the last few years?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everyhting back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...

I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini. My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed. So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone. How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?
If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help. Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive.

That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

First try this:
- Go on iTunes computer
- plug in the iPod
- authorize your device from store/authorize
- iPod / transfer from iPod by right clicking on the left pane
This will only transfer iTunes purchased music, not ripped CDs. and it is unnecessary now, as the music can just be downloaded from the cloud. -
I have all my CDs on my iPod, my old laptop crashed. How can I get my music to the cloud and/or my iPad
Hi
Thanks for the reply, not the answer I was hoping for, one last thing if I can get the music onto a computer can I then add it to the iTunes library.
Really don't want to have to reload it all again -

Do you have the computer working again? If so, sync the iPhone to the computer, and in iPhoto it should show up as a 'camera' and you can import the photos from there. You can also open iTunes and transfer the music from the iPhone to your iTunes library.

I had an iPhone 4 with all my music on it. Got rid of my desktop when I got an iPad. Now I have iPhone 4S. How do I get my music transferred from old phone to 4s and iPad without a desktop with iTunes on it?
Restore the device from the backup created.
If no backup exists, there is nothing to recover. -
I recently got a new computer and it wont sync with my ipod. How can i get my music and stuff on my computer?
iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer. -
My old computer is broken, so how do i get my music and photos from my iPod onto my new computer
my old computer is broken, so how do i get my music and photos from my iPod onto iTunes on my new computer. It says it can only be synced to 1. but my old 1 is broken.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Keep in mind that the recovered photos will not be in their full resolution, but instead will be the scaled down versions that were optimized in size and resolution to fit your iPod's smaller LCD screen.

I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone. I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer. Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer. I don't want to do that. I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes. Any help? Thanks!

Thanks Roaminggnome,
I just spoke with a friend who like you is into Apple and he just walked me through the Cloud. At least I was able to get those songs back.
Thanks.
Do you know --- the last time I tried to back up my itunes it asked for 106 cd's do you how to direct the backup to the external drive? By the way I found 3 back up cds from 2010 and 1 of the 3 cd's had an error.

I set-up my iphone 4 from a back-up of my iphone 3 - the new built-in apps are not displaying on my phone - how do I get new built in apps back?
What apps are you referring to specifically. If they are preinstalled apps they cannot be deleted so may have been moved it onto a screen or into a folder, the Utilities folder seems to be a common folder for them to move to. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?
You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
When you get it all working, make a backup!
