My computer died and I had to reinstall iTunes. My library now has no audiobooks and only half my music. They do not show up in my "Purchased" list either. Any ideas?
I purchased audiobooks through iTunes and Audible.com. I have had to reinstall iTunes in the past and all the audiobooks remained in place. This is the first time I have lost them ALL. Help!!
Mortimer, iTunes does not know when you restore a file. After you restore the file, you need to re-add the file to iTunes.
If you know exactly which files you restores, re-add them using File > Add File to LIbrary.
Otherwise, lre-add the folders. iTunes has certain safeguards to reduce duplicates when you do this, which are not perfect but are better than nothing. Start with a few small folders and see if you are happy with the results.

My computer crashed and I had to reinstall itunes, is there a way to sync and upload my music from my ipod back into my itunes?

Like the topic says, in the past year, I have used redemption codes on blu-rays I have purchased in iTunes and downloaded copies of the movies to my desktop. The problem is I am not seeing them in the Cloud if I want to watch them on my iPad or Apple TV. It also worries me that should my computer crash, the movies are lost since the codes are already redeemed. Advice?
I can only answer your first issue. In your ipad go to settings, iTunes & App Store, click on your Apple ID and sign out. Wait a few minutes and then log back in. The hidden apps shouldn't show any more on your ipad.

My computer's hardrive went bad an I had to get a new one. Now my computer has nothing on it and I had to reinstall itunes and i have no music or anything. So now I cannot sync my ipod or anything. Is there anything i can do to get all of my stuff back?
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 everything back. -

My computer crashed and I had to reinstall iTunes. Now I cannot sync my iPod with my computer. Any suggestions?
Was this issue ever resolved?
Ditto for me! I am so upset because about 15 years, I've had the same old Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player which worked perfectly fine until the day Gigabeat (the software) upgraded to a Vista-compatibility program which made the MP3 go haywired!! I couldn't get the MP3 player (again) to work as normal prior to the update. Then, two years later, the business no longer supports MP3 players, nor does it invest in software patches! Now I have a failed equipment ... though it still plays, but just won't let me work the controls to choose or select tracks! I can only operate the on/off button on the Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player! AND, concidentally, the battery seems to shorten (lessen)! Interesting...
Then, I decided okay, I had enough...I can't play over 5.000 songs just to return to start; I decided to purchase the Apple iPod Classic 160 GB Silver! I've had it only since March 2012. It worked wonderfully at first. It took me months to put all the music from my CDs to this magical device. And, then, all of a sudden, my computer CRASHED (ironically in JUNE 2012!!) and lost all on the hard drive ... perhaps it is not ironic afterall.
Here's a tall quesion to Apple manufacturer, are they preparing us to confiscate our equipment? It sure seems that way to me!
No support from Toshiba (which, by the way, are currently investing in so-called "green energy in nuclear projects" in the state of Texas), nor is there any support by Apple ... Interesting! Sorry for babbling. But I'm tired of big money making corporations putting on the bluffer masks on the public! Something just ain't right! Hold tight to your vinyls, tape decks, cassettes, 8-tracks and CDs... This may be just another whim to making big time money! -
My desktop crashed and I had to reinstall itunes software. My iphone has all my apps with their data, contacts, photos, videos & music. How can I import all of the information and data on my iphone into itunes? I downloaded one app that is a to-do-list but it indicates that if I sync with my iphone I will lose all data on my iphone and it will be replaced with the data on itunes. I do not want to lose my data! I have a lot of information and I cannot understand why Apple would not have a way to restore my data from my iphone to my itunes. PLEASE HELP!
It should be like the very first time you synced your phone with I-Tunes. It will notice you haven't synced before and just copy everything from your phone into I-Tunes. It shouldn't delete anything from the phone, at least it never has for me. It just puts a copy of everything into I-Tunes and even if you delete an app for example from your phone and you decide you want it back later, you can just go back into I-Tunes and copy it back over. Hope this helps.

My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion. Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download. The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try. My app store ID is fine. What do I do?
Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
To fix Home folder permissions
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed. -
I recently had to wipe out my phone and lost everything! I have been able to recover all apps, pics, songs. Lost alot of my contacts due to me not backing up my info to icloud more often. (my mistake) However, I cant find any of my purchased ringtones. They are not showing up in my purchase history on itunes either. I do have the receipts for all of them tho.
Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated!Ringtones are currently a one-time only download, they won't appear under the Purchased tab nor in the cloud. Have you got copies of them in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library or in the backup of your downloads that you can use to re-sync them to your phone ? If not, and they are still in the store, then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then try selecting Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I purchased audio books from Itunes and they aren't showing up on the purchased list so I can't down load them to my new computer. I have authorized my computer. So any suggestions?
You cannot redownload audiobooks at all.
They will only be where you put them. -
Today I imported quite a lot of Audio CDs. When I wanted to listen to them I realised that most of them aren't in my library. And they did not appear in the recently added list either. Can anyone tell me what happened and where to find them? It's really strange because all the imorts definitely finished. Thanks!
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,

I updated to ios5 on another computer because i was stuck on the recovery mode loop but now the problem is that when i try sync to my current one iphone does not show up or sync at all.. any ideas? gonna try uninstall right now..
There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content. -
i loaded my phone on my old mac book and have since replaced that book with a new a new one. I have new music that wont sync up with my phone. Anyone have any ideas?
If this is a question about syncing with iTunes, you might want to post it over in the iTunes forum.

How do i access my photos that were saved in icloud storage from before i had to reset everything. I know the photos can still somehow be accessed because icloud showed that space was being taken up for photos straight after i had reset the device and there were no photos there on the device at the time. So any ideas on how to access these photos from icloud? Any help very much appreciated, thanks.

I'm not finding software I purchased in my purchase history. Can anyone help lead me to where to find it. I have the software on my IMac and want to install it on my new laptop. I cannot find it? Help!
Thanks,
ChadIf they are iOS apps and you are signed into your computer's iTunes with the same account that you originally bought them with then they should show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.
If they are Mac apps bought from the Mac App Store and you are signed in with the same account, then they should show under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store.
