My computer crashed hard drive was replaced and now I have lost my music.  Am trying to sync with my music from my iPad and iPhone but it is not working what is the problem

I need help please!  My computer crashed lost all data including my music.  Want to sync music from my ipad and/or iphone but it is not working.  What could be the problem how do I tackle it?

Syncing only works from your computer to your iPad/iPhone, not the other way around.  So you can only transfer your purchased music from the iPhone to your computer.

My computer crashed lost all data including my music.
How bad was the crash? Had the drive to be replaced? Or is there a possibility to use data recovery software on that drive?

    My iphone has lost all data when trying to sync with my computor.
    I have an pad with most info on, but not keen to sync with that incase that data gets lost!
    I joined icloud but cannot retreive from there as its not accepting my icloud account! Help!
    If I sync phone with ipad is it likely to work safely to retrieve info as both are apple devices?.

    ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

  • Is iPhone 4s data really not working, or is the problem with Fido?

    I've been struggling to get data working on a second hand iPhone 4S with a Fido data plan.
    We get the message "not subscribed to a cellular..." when opening safari or mail even though we have a data plan.
    After a few calls to Fido support they've said I need to call Apple because its a factory unlocked device, not a Fido phone.
    We've tried rebooting, toggling airplane mode, resetting network settings.
    The phone shows 3G in the top bar and picture messages (MMS) come through while not on wifi.
    Does that not show the phone is capable of receiving data?
    We have not gone so far as completely resetting the device yet as we won't be near the Mac it syncs with to recover music etc for a while longer.
    The phone was initialized from a backup of a jail broken/ unlocked 3G that probably had foreign APN info set up through unlockit at some point.
    Is there any way that info has found it's way onto the new phone?
    If so can we clear it out without completely resetting the device?
    Thanks for any pointers.

    The TV Out option only appears when connecting an analog video cable, such as the Apple Composite or Component AV Adapters; it will not appear when using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or the Apple VGA Adapter, as these cables do not require any additional settings.

    Hello Chance1985,
    Sorry for your wait. Okay so let's try re-connecting with iTunes on your computer and syncing your device. This may give you all your stuff back. Sync in Music tab.

  • My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different.

    My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different. When I look at my backed-up iphoto library folder I see lots of files and folders: ALbumData.xml, Attachments folder, etc. The 9.6.1 iphoto library doesn't appear to be a folder at all. Help!

    iPhoto 6 and earlier libraries were regular folders with the kind of files your reporting.  With the advent of iPhoto 7 the library folder was changed to a package similar to the application packages but have essentially the same files and folders inside.  There's no reason to have access to the inside of the iPhoto Library so Apple changed them to packages.
    Do you have a backup copy of the iPhoto Library from before the HD crash.  If so restore it to the Pictures folder in your Home folder.  If you previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 or earlier download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before trying to open it with iPhoto 9.6.1.

    To re-download your purchases from iTunes on your computer:
    Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

  • My computer broke and I got it fixed. It doesn't say that the hard-drive was replaced, but I can tell my data is gone, including Pages that I bought. Is there any way of getting that without paying for it again?

    Or if you purchased Pages as part of iWork on a disk, reinstall from the same disk.
    Best of luck.

    My win8 pc hard drive failed.  After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used).  ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help!  The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection.  I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that.  Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes?  Thanks!!

    This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
    The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.

  • My hard drive was replaced last week.  The geek squad from Best Buy backed up all my information prior to replacing the hard drive.  they reinstalled everything on the new hard drive including iTunes.  When I opened I tunes, my playlists were missing

    My hard drive was replaced last week on my macbook pro.  The geek squad from Best Buy backed up all my information prior to replacing the hard drive.  They reinstalled everything on the new hard drive including iTunes.  When I opened I tunes, i had some but not all my songs listed.  All my playlists and purchases were missing.  I attempted to sync my iPod so my playlist and information would be reinstalled but iTunes does not recognize the iPod to allow it to sync.

    please someone help

    Hi 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,

  • How to reinstall iWork '09 (part of Mac Box Set) after recalled mac hard drive was replaced?

    imac 27" late 2009 OSX 10.8.2
    Have spent a week trying to get iwork opened ( use Pages for my business ) - read almost every support, tried all options to no avail - earlier restore using Time Machine after affected Seagate hard drive was replaced no charge.
    The error message reads: "Pages cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Pages works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
    Can any one confirm a simple ...
    1)
    2)
    3)
    4)    answer
    or am I better to $buy another box??
    Unfortunately I find the multitude of support suggestions too beside the point - yet to sight a sound solution!

    Hi Kappy -
    Yes, thought you had the answer  ....  but .... NO  !!!
    I purchased Pages to upgrade but no go .... alas .... message, should have guessed it? ....  yes -
    'Pages already installed on this computer. Choose Software update from the Apple menu to check for available updates !'
    HELLO ?    I have no software updates or even record of purchase.
    I now realise this matter will never ever be resolved .... soooooo .... plan B -
    1) I will sue APPLE for $US80k because my business is based around PAGES and has lost approx $US15k to date over 31/2 weeks - unfortunately, this loss of opportunity will quickly balloon with 2012 closing.
    2) If recompense is not forthcoming by negotiation I will initiate a campaign on all Social Networks to let the world   know that Apple may sell you an unreliable toxic hard drive which will cost your business a truck load of money    .... they openly admit that some of their 1TB Seagate hard drive's ( probably millions ) sold in an historic space      were corrupted and should be replaced free of charge. Hey, that's the worry free bit ! I employ people who need      to be paid! I didn't order their belighted hard drive!!
    3) Failing which I will link with another operator and retain my campaign for $repayment from APPLE.
    Accumulate.
