My computer crashed. Hadn't saved playlist. Can I get this back or do I have to buy the songs again?

My computer crashed. Hadn't saved playlist. Can I get it back or do I have to purchase the songs all over again? Thanks.

As the link in another post indicates, you can dwnload some media again.  This will not get your playlists back, just the media you purchased from iTunes.  You'll have to start over again in terms of playlists, ratings, play count, and any other customization you may have done.
It is well worth considering purhcasing an external hard drive to back up your files for situations such as this, or looking at the iTunes Match service (which is not the same as a backup drive)  You didn't mention iTunes movies but if you had any, you cannot download those a second time.

  • I recently reset my computer to factory settings. I re-downloaded iTunes, but lost most of my music and all of my playlists in both iTunes and my 4S.  How can I get this back?

    Restore your media from the backup of the computer created prior to restoring the computer.
    You did create a backup, correct?  Not doing so would be extremely unintelligent.
    iOS devices are NOT backup devices.

  • Wrong document saved, how can i get it back!

    Hi all,
    Today I was working with Pages for my study.
    I was making a large document full of images and shapes.
    After a while the document got bigger and bigger, so I saved my document every 5-10 minutes.
    When I was finished, i wanted to quit the program, ut before I did that I accidentally deleted everything (because Pages was lagging a bit, due to the big file)
    and SAVED that empty document as my last save!
    So, when I opened my document again, it was empty, and there was no option to Undo my actions.
    When I check the info of the file, it says its 88,3Mb in size, which means the file has to contain my previous saved stuff.
    My question is: HOW can I get this back?
    I hope it is possible, and that one of you know how to 'find/recover' my older saved files.
    It took me a whole day to set up this document, and the deadline is close.
    Thanks in advance!

    What you have is a lot of images mixed in with a lot of spaces, tabs and returns to position them.
    Unfortunately you also have wrap set on your images which are interacting with everything else which is causing them to pop off the page when they don't fit.
    That is why your file is so huge but appears to have nothing in it.
    When a file is such a mess it is hard to describe how to fix it without seeing it and untangling it.
    Start by making your images inline on their own paragraphs, with spacing set at 1 with maybe some space before.
    Work your way through the document, cleaning up all extra spaces, tabs and returns and resetting your images. At first try not to have images overlapping until you have worked out what they are doing to the text and other images around them.
    Think about what is going to happen when you position objects with wrap as to what is going to push what where. Especially if you have stay with next checked in your Text inspector. That pulls text and objects associated with it over to the next page as well.

    Hey Mrlablack,
    Since you had already purchased iPhoto, you should be able to redownload it. To download previous purchases on a computer, your computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that was used for the original purchase. For more information on the steps to reinstall purchased apps, check here:

    View and reinstall purchased apps
    To view a list of all purchased apps, click Purchases in the toolbar.
    To install an app, click the Install button for the app in the Purchases list.

  • My Firefox start page had a check box for searching Canadian pages which was lost when I upgraded to 4.0. How can I get this back?

    My Firefox start page had a check box for searching Canadian pages which was lost when I upgraded to 4.0. How can I get this back?

    The default about:home page in Firefox 4 doesn't give such features. You can set the home page to http://www.google.ca to get that possibility. The results page has a "Pages from Canada" link in the side menu at the left.

  • I cut and pasted a description from the Internet. It posted as a link in iPhoto. It seems to have made a global change--all my descriptions are now blue, underlined, and Times Roman 12 rather than Arial white. How can I get this back to the default?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys.  Don't want to use audio text.  How can I get this back?

    I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys.  Don't want to use audio text.  How can I get this back?

    Hey there tjbliven,
    It sounds like you are not able to use the dictation feature of iOS 8, becuase the microphone icon is missing. It seems to me like Siri may be turned off, which would cause the icon to not be there:
    Siri settings - iPhone
    To set options for Siri, go to Settings > General > Siri. Options include:
    Turning Siri on or off
    That should get the dictation feature back for you.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • I have a CS3 for windows and I switched to a mac.  Can I get a mac version without having to pay for the suite again

    I have a CS3 for windows and I switched to a mac.  Can I get a mac version without having to pay for the suite again?

    No.
    Adobe only offers a Platform Swap on current software: Order product | Platform, language swap
    CS3 is also too old to have an "upgrade path" and is no longer sold or supported by Adobe.
    You do, as a CS3 owner, qualify for a 40% discount on your first year of a Creative Cloud Subscription though: Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    If you don't want to go with the subscription service, Adobe does still offer CS6 (4 versions away from current & no longer receiving updates) as a "one time payment/download" perpetual license: Creative Suite 6

  • TS1474 I have just tried to sync my iphone with my computer. All my purchased songs were replaced with what was on my computer which was nothing. How can i get them back onto my phone or computer?

    Hi, I have just tried to sync my iphone with my computer.

Any ideas on how can i get them back onto my phone or computer? I can see them in the itunes store under purchases, but there are no options for me to download them again.

  • Safari has disapeared from my account. The other account on my computer still has it.  How can I get it back to my account?

    This Safari Icon has completely disappeared from my account on Mac.  I can find no record of it anywhere.  The other account on my Mac still has Safari.  How can I get it back onto my account? Please

    On the other account, control-click its Dock icon and choose Show in Finder. If it's located in a place other than the Applications folder at the top level of the drive, move it there. If it is, go back into yours, open the Applications folder, and drag it to the Dock.

  • Previously I had my account set up so both my daughter and I got a text notification when the bill was due. I made changes in our plan and now we no longer receive alerts that the payment is due. How can I get this back?

    Previously my account was set up so my daughter and I got texts when the bill was due. I recently made some changes in our plan and now this is gone. How do I get this back?

    Sorry, without knowing the Apple ID/Password that was originally used to activate this phone, then there is no way to re-activate it, as you've found out.
    Apple can't/won't help you. Your choice is to get this info, or you simply won't be able to re-activate this phone.
    If you ex won't give it to you, then consult a lawyer.

  • HT4859 I forgot my passcode and then my phone reset and backed up but the icould its updated back to has lost all my data.... How can i get this back?

    I recently forgot a new passcode on my phone so it became locked. i went to rest this via itunes but when it came to restore the phone non of my data including contacts, apps, messages, photos etc are available. It seems to have restored to a back up from after the phone was wiped. How can i get these back?

    There's one other variable, although it shouldn't really come in to play but worth checking anyway.  Is it possible that the backup was made using a higher version of iOS than the one you are running now?  For example, if you were running the iOS 7 beta, then restored to version 6.1.3, the backup would not be listed as you cannot restore to a backup made on a device running a higher version of iOS.  If that's the case, you would have to update to the same or higher version of iOS in order to access your backup.
    Also, you can redownload apps and certain other purchased media (in most countries) as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.
