a while back my computer crashed (hard drive and motherboard:/) im a DJ so its kinda a big thing. my mom has a computer whith itunes on it, i signed on with my account but how do i get the music back. i dont have it on any device, just the hard drive that crashed. can someone please helped i put soooooo much money into those songs a good 4,000 $
please someone helpHi Glenn,
You need to Authorize your Mom's computer to your iTunes sign on. Sign on to iTunes, then go to Store at the top of the screen, and select Authorize this Computer.
Then you can download your purchases from your iTunes library by going to the iTunes Store (the one in the sidebar), Music, and then under Quick Links, Purchased.
Once the Purchased window comes up, select "Not on this Computer", and then select All Songs. Your purchased songs will display with a cloud next to them, and you can download them selectively or "Download All" (lower right-hand corner).
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

So my old ipod broke two years ago. I got an ipod classic and synched it to my itunes library on my macbook. Then I had problems with my macbook and had to restore it to factory settings. I have kept my eyes open for a way to get my music backed up in my itunes again cuz I figured this ipod would probably break someday too. Anyway now when I look at my 160g ipod classic, it says I have 0 songs, and 0 videos but 27.3g of "other". I looked around for a solution and I tried updating my itunes and then I plugged my ipod in and it said I needed to restore it to factory settings using itunes. I'm not gonna do that. For the most part I have come across this problem with solutions for pc users and I have a MACBOOK. Anyway I haven't even had my ipod hooked up to my computer for a while because I haven't added any new music and when I charge it, I just hook it up to my iphone charger. This literally happened overnight. I mean there is some stuff on there that is irreplaceable. PLEASE HELP!
p.s. Dumb it down a bit for me.Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password. -
My computer crashed and in order to fix it they had to restart everything on it when i redownloaded itunes my songs still apear on it but they won't play because i no longer have the files.
Now the songs show up in the new itunes i installed but the file cannot be located. I just spent the last year in military training so i didnt have time to deal with this until now. To make matters worse befor i left for training my ipod broke and i sold it to the pawnshop for like $5. Im considering buying a new one but am currently refusing to buy anymore Apple products til i solve this. When i try to conntact support it asks for my item serial number but i dont have one being other than my $3000.00+ worth of itunes songs i no longer own anything Apple.
My question is does anyone know how to fix this or how to get ahold of Apple customer support w/o a serial number?Your data are gone since you no longer have the drive on which they were stored nor do you have a backup. Apple cannot help you with this.
If you purchased your iTunes tracks in the iTunes Store then you can re-download them: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store. Of course you will need an Apple computer to do so. You will also need your Apple ID and password that you used to purchase the tracks. -
2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??
Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

My old computer crashed. I have purchased a new one and authorized it, but my music is not there. How do I get my music back?
Restore the songs from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

I was updating my software on my iphone 4 and it crashed so it recovered it and i restored it from its back up. However I have lost all my music and my apps but not my pictures. How can i get my music back. I did not remove my phone from the computer until it had said it had finsihed.
Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library. Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists. Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past. -

Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

i synced my phone to another computer to get the update and when i went to restore it, all my music was earased, but everything else was normal. how do i get my music back?
I enabled the backup, but when i went to use the backup, the phone recovered everything except the music.Of course your music was lost - unless you uncheck sync music, you're syncing with another music library. You'll have to sync your phone with the other/original computer to the music back.

Resync it from your iTunes library. Music is not included in your backup.

If the music was purchased from iTunes you can redownload it for free (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). If not you will either have to re-import all your music to rebuild your library, or purchase 3rd party software that can transfer it from your phone to iTunes such as Touch Copy.

i was downloading music from my partners purchased music on my phone and it wiped all my existing music, how can i get my music back as i dont have it on my computer anymore? please help me
If you bought this music from iTunes you can download it again from within your Purchases in the iTunes App.
Otherwise, razmee is right. you can only sync to one itunes library. If you sync to another one whatever does not exist on the new library will get removed from the phone.
That's is by design to avoid Piracy. As otherwise you could simply transfer purchases to other users.
