Any music purchased through the iTunes store can be downloaded again for free as long as you are signed in with the Apple ID you used for the original purchase.  Any other music you had in iTunes should be easily accessible in your system back up or from the CDs you ripped from originally.

  • My computer crashed and I've lost two of my films. On my purchases they are still listed how do I get them back?

    Re-downloading of movies has been licensed by the movie studios only in the US as of right now. I'm guessing, since you refer to "films", that your're not in the US and if so will not be able to download your movies again without paying. You'll need to restore from your backups.

  • My Ipod Classic (160G) no longer synchs completely with iTunes (93G).  Have reset and restored to no avail.  AM about to try roll back to a previous version of iTunes, which has been on auto update.

    My iPod Classic (160G) used to sync flawlessly with iTunes (93G).
    Recently, there seem to be fewer folders syncing.  In particular, it is not syncing more recent adds.  It also occassionally refuses to sync at least one mp3 downloaded from  Amazon.com, giving an unable to sync message with an error code or 50.
    I'm running iTunes version 10.7, and the software (2.04) on myiPod is current.
    I only use the iPod for music.  I have only one playlist.
    Reset and restore did not fix the problem; I'm considering rolling back to a previous version of iTunes.  Are there any other  ideas to consider? 
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    R

    iTunes and its sync process with your iPod have been know to choke once the amount of data that needs to be transferred, replaced, or updated, reaches a certain size limit in GBs.

  • Computer crashed ! Will all iPhone data be transferred to new empty iTunes ?

    Title says it all:
    My computer crashed, so will all the data (music, books, pictures, apps, data inside apps, folder organisation, apps' logins and passwords, ) currently inside my iPhone be transferred to the new empty iTunes ?
    I don't care about Notes and Contacts which are synced to iCloud.
    Or will the empty new iTunes empty my iPhone ?

    Sorry but you know nothing about my story and what happened with my computer so please don't barge in with wrong conclusions and make a fool of yourself.
    Fortunately there are helpful people around such as wjosten to hep and not judge.
    Not to mention saying things such as "It's also counterintuitive to believe that a cell phone is a backup device."
    Who believes that ? Who are you talking to ? Certainly not me. As it's exactly the opposite: originally sync has been created to back up your device on a computer. The computer is the back up, not the device. And when your back-up fails anybody expects to be able to copy ALL your data simply from the original drive to another back-up drive.
    Apple's one-way-only method is ABSOLUTELY counter-intuitive, you will find coultless topics on the internet of people not getting it and having issues with this and software such as Phoneview, DiskAid, IExplorer, etc... being created by third-parties to compensate Apple's weaknesses.
    Just another example : I would be happy to know why they had to wait "the Third Millennium, over 30 years since the first consumer-oriented computer became available" to add the ability to sync contacts and calendars between a Mac and iOS device via USB connection, available only now since OSX 10.9.3 !!...
    Apple has certainly made historically good choices over the years, but no matter how difficult it is to admit for some people it also has made and stuck to other very poor choices. And this is one of them, right there...

  • Our old computer crashed which had all the kids ipod touch library on it. Now when I connect ipods to new computer it says I have to erase all the app, etc to sync with new computer. Is there anyway to sync to the new computer w/out losing all data?

    Our old computer crashed which had all the kids ipod touch library on it. Now when I try to connect them to new computer it says I need to erase all data, apps, etc. to sync with new computer. It is saying that it can only be connected to one library at a time. Is their anyway around this without having ot erase all their stuff?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • HT203167 Computer crashed and lost all music.  How can I get a listing of all prior purchases and get them downloaded again?

    Compaq computer crashed and lost all music that was on the computer. How would I go about getting a listing of all purchased items and download them again? I know when i first got set up it said I could download up to 2 times when purchased and I have only downloaded once.  But need a listing of songs as well.

    One thing that I also recommend in the future is to back your iTunes library up relatively regularly.  You can get your purchases in the cloud just fine, typically, but at the very least, it will save some time by backing it up.

  • I recently received an I Pod touch 4th generation. I synced it to my computer and now all my pictures that I have ever taken are now on my Ipod. How do I delete pictures that are not taken by the Ipod but were synced onto the ipod?

    I recently received an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I synced it to my computer and now all the pictures that I have ever taken are on my I pod. How do I delete pictures that have been synced from my computer?

    Hi megan21,
    Connect your iPod to iTunes, click on your device, and then click on the "Photos" page. If you don't want any photos on your iPod, make sure the "Sync photos from [photo application]" checkbox is unchecked. Or, you could select specific photos in that page to sync to your iPod.
    Hope this helps,
    O.C.

  • TS2972 I have 4 Apple TV's. All set up to Home share. One will not see the computer. It is also the only 720 I have. The other three are 1080's. How do I get the 4th one (the720) to recognize my Mac?

    Need more information to help you, but I am providing some suggestions.  Sorry if you are past these type of basic things.  But didnt really have much to start with and understand your technical level to start with. 
    Have you got into Settings > Computers > Turned on Home Sharing (Note: You must use the some Apple ID used by the iTunes library on your MAC for them to see one another)
    How is your MAC connected to the network vs the 720 ATV2?  Is one WiFi and the other Ethernet?  Have you tried switching the ATV2 to WiFi if Ethernet? 
    Has the MAC been restarted since this started happening?  Same with your Router and any other networking device being used?  Sometimes an IP conflict can arise in your networking and most consumer networking equipment does not know how to "self heal" without a reboot. 
    Make sure you have given those things a whirl and share back your results.  Any other information you can provide, such as how you connect to your network from each ATV and MAC.

    Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the following:<br><br>

    * My Web Search<br><br>
    Both of these are adware/spyware and cause performance issues in Firefox.
    Next, click the Extensions menu link (above Plugins where you are) and remove the "Ask Toolbar".
    If the problem persists, please do the following:<br><br>
    #Click '''Help '''| '''Restart with Add-ons disabled'''.<br><br>
