I had to have the hard drive replaced on my computer and i lost all my iTunes data and I hadn't backed up my music. can I still transfer music from my iPod to a new iTunes?
Music Rescue also works as far as restoring your playlists etc. I've used it twice, you can use the Quick Recover mode, but have to click continue trial (something like that) allot, cp. to purchase option. Otherwise diesel is right as far as restoring via your purchase history.
Here is a review of Music Rescue. -
The hard drive on our computer died and we lost all of our purchases in the account. Is there a way to recover the songs we have paid for? If we plug in our iPod to a new account, won't it erase everything during the synch process? Help!
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then transfer purchases form your ipod.
Without syncing, click File>Transfer Purchases -

My hard drive crashed on my imac and was replaced. I have no iphone backup. How do I sync without erasing my iphone?
You don't.
The iPhone is not a backup device. You can use File>Transfer purchases in iTunes to extract media and apps purchased from the iTunes store. If you have music on your phone that came from other sources, you will need to retrieve the originals or purchase 3rd party software to extract it from the phone.
Please see "More Like This" to the right. This is addressed frequently. -
Hi, I lost my entire music library when my hard drive crashed 2 wks ago. It's all on my iPod, though..but the songlist appears gray. I just cannot figure out how to download my iPod music list BACK into my iTunes library. All they seems to address is Library -> iPod transfers. I'm not an iT geek.. Help meeee!

Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?
after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

I recently downloaded itunes 10.5 and have lost all my music. How do I retrieve it? Help!
I recently downloaded itunes 10.5 and have lost all my music. How do i retrieve it? Help!
shouldnt be too hard for them to not have sync as the default
Not difficult at all but iTunes is meant to be very simple to use. No one would know how to sync their music if the default was to not sync it.
many people will have an ipod that hoops up to itunes for first time and then will sync up and lose all songs
One big reason to make regular backups. -
My macbook pro recently got swiped and I lost all my data, problem is, just before it was swiped I set up my new iphone 5 which transferred all my photos and music over which is no longer on the computer. What will happen to my phone if I plug it in?
I never used icloud before so there is no data to back up from. I just spoke to the apple store and they said that if I do plug it in, all the data will be swiped....is there a program I can use to transfer my data from my phone to computer without loosing it all ???

I Connected My IPad 1st Generation To The Computed To Have It updated And I Lost All of My Pictures, How Do I Get Them Back?? Help, Please!
Did you backup the iPad first? If you did - restore from the backup in order to restore the photos in the Saved Album on your iPad. If the photos were synced to the iPad, then sync them back again via iTunes.
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If you did backup first, you will be restoring your most recent backup and you should be OK. But know that when you restore from a backup, you restore everything that is in that backup onto the iPad .... All documents, device settings, all data and so on. You cannot just select photos to restore to the iPad. It's all or nothing. -
I have a Toshiba laptop and my hard drive crashed. I had to install a new hard drive and restore the Windows 8 OS--basically started from scratch as NONE of my data was recoverable. Wondering if I can retrieve all of my old bookmarks. Im a graduate student and had a ton of important things bookmarked. I dont remember creating any sort of profile when I originally downloaded Firefox. Please help!
You need to find your old profile in your old hard drive. Maybe you will need unhide the hidden files and folders:
*[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders]
Go to your hold profile. Probably the path is:
*<old drive>:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>
Read more:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data Profiles]
So inside of your old profile folder there is a folder called '''Bookmarksbackups''' enter in it, the get the most recent .json file copy to your new hard drive then open Firefox go to '''Bookmarks''' >> '''Show all bookmarks''' >> '''Import and backup''' >> '''Restore''' then chose the option to select a file then select that file that you copy to your new hard drive

I had a hard drive crash, replaced the hard drive and now iTunes does not recognize or authorize my iMac to play some songs. help
iCloud Backup is for your iPad, not for your computer.
Whatever you bought from iTunes is yours forever and can be downloaded as many times as you want. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
Here is the procedure for your reference.
On a 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.
Whatever you have that did not originate from iTunes will have to be obtained from whatever means you used to obtain it in the past. -
My hard drive crashed on my PC so I had to replace it. Is there a way to retrieve all the music I had downloaded & purchased. Unfortunately I did not back it up but it is on my iPod.
Use a third-party utility such as Phone to PC - macroplant.com.

Post external hard drive crash, imovie6 files no longer open despite all data being present
my external hard drive crashed.
Thanks to ontrack, I recovered most if not all of the data, and this included the iMovies, I was told, but not one iMovie will open.
The data size is the same as when they were functional. Yet, when clicking on the icon for the movie, it opens and then I see a prompt that says, "A project file is missing..." If I ignore all, the movie never opens. I dont ignore all, the movie does not open.
My questions:
(1) can I fix these files myself? If so, how?
(2) If this is too hard for a novice, is there a company who can look at priceless imovie files and fix themquestion
(3) is this a lost cause?
I've lost upwards of 15 imovies (and the countless hours and love put into each). I'm willing to go to some lengths to fix them, including paying someone.
Thoughts/advice/suggestions?
Thanks.
DamonI'd like to amend my original post... This should be helpful to anyone out there...
my external hard drive crashed.
I DID NOT have documents backed up properly.
....I KNOW....
sigh...
Thanks to Ontrack, I recovered most if not all of the data, and this included the iMovies, I was told. Yet, when trying to open each file, none will open.
I've tried almost everything, including:
(1) show package contents (and trying to drag and drop "TimelineMovie.mov from cache to new iMovie)(nothing happens when dropping it into the new iMovie--quicktime opens but then nothing)
(2) show package contents (and clicking on the backup copy with ~ in the file name)(again, nothing happens)
What I know is the following:
(1) The data size is the same as when they were functional.
(2) Yet, when clicking on the icon for the movie, it opens and then I see a prompt that says, "A project file is missing..." If I click "ignore all", the movie never opens... i see it loading, loading, loading, and then it stops about 3/4 in.
(3) If I dont "ignore all", the process is the same.
(4) when I go into the media file, i see that all of the data is there
(5) while my new external hard drive(S)...lol... have plenty of space, my current macbook pro is maxed out and I operate with just under 1gb of available memory
My questions:
(1) do I have any hope here?
(2) If so, how do I fix these priceless files myself? I know, if priceless, why not backed up? again, sigh...
(3) If too hard for a novice, is there a company who can look at priceless imovie files and fixes them?
Again, I've lost MANY imovies (and the countless hours and love put into each). I'm willing to go to some lengths to fix them, including paying someone.
Thoughts/advice/suggestions?
Thanks.
