My hard drive crashed and I lost everything. No backup.  Does Itunes backup to a server?  Can I get my library back?  If so how?

My hard cdrive crashed and I lost everything.  No Music library back up.   Does Itunes have my music on their Server?  If so how can I get it back?

You can re-download everything you already bought, if you remember what it was, and you won't have to pay again. This assumes the music you purchased is still available for download.
Other than iCloud backup, which does not store your non-iTunes purchased music anyway, that is all there is.
From iCloud: Backup and restore overview:
The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:
Music, movies and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store

  • My hard drive crashed and I lost everything on my Mac desk top, including my Adobe Lightroom. I had my hard drive replaced but how do I download to my new hard drive? I have my previous serial number but when I entered that, it said it was invalid.

  • My hard drive crashed and I lost everything. How do I get all my itunes purchases restored?

    My hard drive carshed so Best Buy installed a new one. I had to reinstall all my apps including itunes. how do I get all the songs I've pirchased back?

    If the hard drive mechanically doesn't work anymore and if it doesn't make financial sense to spend  $2000-$3000 or so for specialized platter recovery services...there is no option...
    ,,,however if it's just the OS that's fried, a $20 powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter can be used on the drive, make it just like a external drive.
    ..EVEN if the file structure is fried and malware deleleted the files, software like DataRescue can be used to recover the files directly from the 1's and 0's on the disk.
    The best recovery is backing up your data and preparing for the unexpected.
    Apple won't re-issue your content.
    Good Luck. Sorry to break the bad news.
    EDIT: Hold on, just saw you have  a iPod Touch.
    There is third party software that can return the files off the iPod Touch, check over at iLounge what currently works.
    I can't suggest such software here, it can be used to facilitate piracy.

  • HT1473 My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes

    My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes?

    Thanks, but ringtones not purchased from iTunes, created them just before computer crashed.just before the next scheduled biweekly backup.
    I found and downloaded TouchCopy 12 for PC and was able to copy the ringtones from my iPhone to my Windows laptop very easily.  It also enables you to transfer photos, memos, voice messages, etc.

    Hi,
    The simplest solution would to restore from your back up - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
    If you do not have a back, you can select first track on list in song view, from menu > edit > select all. Next ctrl+click and select download from pop up. You may wish to do this in small batches as it will take some time to download.

  • Can I sync from iPad to a Mac as hard drive crashed and data lost

    My iMac hard drive crashed and the data cannot be recovered. Can I sync the iTunes data on my iPad or iPhone back onto the new hard drive?

    You should be able to recover data that is in the backup. That does not included some items like music. See the following for what is in the backup:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
    First in iTunes preferences check the box for prevent automatic syncing when a device is connected.
    They connect your iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases to the computer. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    Then right click on the iPad listed under Devices in the left hand side and click on "Back Up". After backup is complete I think you will have to restore the iPad from backup to complete the process of using your iPad to the "new" computer.

  • My hard drive crashed and I want to reinstall my personal itunes on another computer but I need to deauthorize my the original computer and I don't know how to reinstall.  Can someone help me please?

    My hard drive crashed and I restored my computer with my daughter's hard drive (her battery was dead) and I want to install my personal itunes on the new hard drive.  I was unable to deauthorize the original computer and I do not know how to reinstall my personal itunes.  Can someone help me with this?
    Thank you.

    Without a backup of your "crashed" HD you will have to download your iTunes purchases again. Make sure your restored computer is running the latest version of iTunes.
    Here is the procedure for your reference.
    On your restored computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    "Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
    When you want to play your newly downloaded music, you will have to "authorize" it. Don't worry about the lost HD until enough of your computers crash that you reach the limit of 5. Then you can "deauthorize all" and re-authorize as necessary.

    Go here for an iPod to PC step by step instructions using 3rd party software http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/
    Then soon as you do this back up ASAP by going here http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/backup/
    If your harddrive ever crashes again, and you connect your iPod to that empty iTunes library, or your PC crashes and your iPod starts acting up you will be screwed if you don't have a backup

  • Hard drive failed and i lost everything​! and after 2 years i bought the thing.

    I have a DV9815 laptop.  The hard drive failed after i was in the process of rebooting it.  All i want is to talk to HP by Email.  Now is that hard to do since i cant find an email?!  I need a replacement Operating system since it said "No OS found".  I want Wndows XP professional instead of Wndows Vista Home Priemium.  I do legally own a copy of Windows Vista but i want to downgrade to XP if i can without paying hundreds.
    This question was solved.

    Hp is not going to give you XP, you will have to buy it if you want it.

  • My Hard Drive crashed and I am trying to retrieve a audio book that was not on my ipod

    How do I get a audio book I purchased from itunes to my ipod or my itunes?  I can see where I purchased it but can not figure out where it is.  My Hard drive crashed and I lost everything.

    It will only be where you put it.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup your computer, then it is gone.

  • My hard drive crashed and need music off of iphone to computer

    Hi, ok so my hard drive crashed and i lost all my music.  I toke the computer in and the tech guys supposedly saved all my info on my external hard drive but for some reason i can not get my music back to itunes so i can restore everything.  So my question is if there is anyway to get my info off of my iphone back to my computer

    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.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone.  Without syncing :  File>Transfer Purchases
    Make sure you have authorized the computer to your account first.
    If you sync contacts and calendars to a blank computer, then they will be erased as well.  Another reason why always maintaining a backup is critical.
    You can enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer and when you first sync you should get the option to merge.
    As soon as you do this, make a backup copy of your computer and maintain it.
