My icloud songs have disappeared off of my laptop, what can i do to get them back?

I just set up a new windows laptop, when i downloaded the new itunes it had all of my songs on which were from my icloud account. I then plugged in my iphone 5 to the laptop and pressed sync. The music that had been on my itunes was then all delted and replaced with the few songs that i had on my iphone from before i had synced it to the laptop. Is there anyway i can get the library content back or will i be stuck with the songs that i have on my phone at the moment and not be able to get the music back?

  • I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

    I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

    All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
    Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

  • I have songs both purchased online and downloaded from cd's that itunes is unable to locate. What can I do to get them back and make sure it doesn't happen again as this is the second time this has happened?

    Great, that's what I was looking for.  Thanks for the quick response.  I knew that that feature existed in this router, but I couldn't remember what it was called or where to find it.
    The funny thing is, I recall distinctly setting up the DHCP reservation initially, but when I went to check it now, the reserved client list was empty.  I have no idea how it could have become depopulated, thus opening the door for internal IP address reassignment of the Remote Desktop computer which led to the RDP ports no longer being forwarded to the right internal IP address and thus the failure of the Remote Desktop connectivity.

  • I used to have iPhone and iPad long time which all my photos where in iCloud then I bought a new iPad last year and I could not get my previous photos what can I do to get them back

    I Used to have all my photos in my iPad and iPhone long time ago and then I bought a new iPad last year but I never get my previous photos again what can I do please help me

    Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days and your iCloud back only remains on iCloud for 180 days.  If you're looking for photos from last year I'm afraid they wouldn't be in iCloud at this point.  Unless you have another backup on your computer or they are still on one of your other devices they're gone now.

  • After installing iTunes on my PC and laptop, all my songs (including paid for) have disappeared from my previous music library. How do I get them back?

    What happens to the old library? Do I have to install all my songs again?

    For general library squiffiness following an upgrade the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • I have lost all the pictures on Aperture.  What can I do to get them back?  I have not deleted anything.  Help!!!!

    I downloaded Aperture and transferred all pix from Iphoto.  Everything was on Aperture.  Suddenly I have lost all the pictures.  I have a handbook, etc., but to no avail.  Help!

    When this happens to a new user the two most likely causes are:
    Aperture opend a different library that is empty. To check this go to File->Switch to Library. You'll get a window that looks somehting like this:
    Of course the names for the libraries will be different. What does yours show? Is there more then one library listed. If you select Other/New you get this:
    The first library in the list is the currenttly opened Library. What does you window say?
         2. The other possibilty is that you have a filter set on the library keeping you from actually seeing the images           in it. Go to the Library tabb of the Inspector and select the Photos icon. Make sure the search box looks           like this:
    If neither of these two actions clear up your problem post back.

  • I just tried syncing all my contacts on to itunes before downloading ios7 and now all of my contacts are gone. i wasnt signed up into icloud what can i do to get them back? please help me

    seriously please help im beyond frustrated that they are gone.

    Your contacts are available with your iCloud online address book - when you log in with your iCloud account via webmail access using a browser on your computer, your contacts are available there?
    Your contacts are not available with an address book app on your computer?

    i purchased songs via my ipod touch.  when I sync'd my ipod touch with my computer, the songs I purchased disappeared into a black hole... how do I get them back without having to repurchase? 

    On your iPod Touch, open the iTunes app. There should be tab named "purchased", which shows all your purchase history. Choose the "Not on this iPod" tab and you'll get a list of purchased products that are not on your device. Hope this helped.

  • I had to restore my ipod touch and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    I had to restore my ipod touch when doing an update and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    Restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up      
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Then contact the police, giving them any location information you get.
    If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).

    you need to go to APP STORE, Then click on Purchased and you will see all the program which u can download from iCloud. I hope u made an account otherwise u will need to install everything again. The most important when u install a new iOS is to backup all your files first and then u can proceed installing the new one.

    i have most of the pictures off it but the last time i used it i took a few more pics and havent backed up since.

  • I downloaded digital hd copies of movies onto my parents' computer and they have a new computer now, and the movies aren't there, even though they have the same apple ID. What do I do to get them to download?

    I downloaded digital hd copies of movies onto my parents' computer and they have a new computer now, and the movies aren't there, even though they have the same apple ID. What do I do to get them to download?
    New computer: Dell, Windows 8.1
    Processor: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
    64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
    16 GB RAM
    itunes up-to-date
    Old computer: Dell, Microsoft Windows XP
    Processor: Intel Pentium D CPU @ 2.80GHz
    1 GB RAM
    itunes not up-to-date (updating it isn't really an option)
    I have these movies downloaded on the old computer from digital hd redeemed codes: Fantastic Mr. Fox, Super 98, Thor, Inception, The Hunger Games, and Star Trek Into Darkness. I bought Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl on itunes with money, and that one isn't showing up either. When I search it on itunes to see if I can just re-download it, that isn't an option. I would have to buy it again. Home Sharing isn't what I want because the old computer will not be here forever and it is not connected to wifi.
    It's kind of a lot of movies, and I want them on the new computer.

    im so happy I have a iTunes Card Code absolutely free! I got it at http://linkbitty.com/freeitunes2014

  • I have been dragging my files to a external drive to have a back-up for them and I lost some of my folders. They just went completely missing. I didn't delete them, and it was all stuff that I have worked on in the past month. How do I get them back?

    You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system.  These can automatically back up only what's changed since the  previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
    Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
    You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX.  You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    #27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.
