My iTunes library music has been completely deleted and I can no longer add or remove music on my Iphone 4 from iTunes

So today when I plugged in my iphone 4 to my laptop I discovered that all my music had been deleted from my library. So then when I would download my music again and try adding music to my phone it wouldn't do it. I would drag a song over to the "on this phone" and onto "my iphone" where Im suppose to add music but it would not light up indicating that the song couldn't be added. So what I try to do next is sync what music I downloaded again into my library onto my phone and it seemed to have worked like that.
After that I tried deleting some music off of my phone and THAT wouldn't work either. I right clicked a song and discovered that there was no "delete" option. I tried it with all the other songs and it was all the same.
Sorry if this all seems confusing and long but please help. I'm also new to this apple discussion website so sorry if I post this in the wrong category lol

  • I upgraded to 10.5.0.142 on windows 7 and I can no longer add any music to my libraries

    I upgraded to 10.5.0.142 on windows 7 and I can no longer add any music to my libaries.
    It makes a notification sound, but there is no message, and it just doesn't do anything.
    How frustrating. Considering apple make excellent products, iTunes is terrible.

    I find a way to add music.
    Make sure iTunes is closed.
    Go to the song file on your computer. If the file has the little black musical iTunes symbol as its icon, just double click the file. It should open up in iTunes and stay in you library.
    If the little black musical iTunes symbol isn't next to the file, right click the file and go to "Open With" and then click on "iTunes". It should open up in iTunes and stay in your library.
    Yeaaa its the long way but that's the only way for now, unfortunately.

  • How do I recover an inbox that has been completely erased and not by my hands?

    When I closed my email on Friday everything was there just as it has been for the last six months. I came in on Monday morning and the only thing in my inbox were the messages from over the weekend.
    I cannot be without the emails I left on my email.

    looked in your anti virus quarantine for a file called inbox?

  • HT204022 how can I be sure a photo or video has been completely deleted from all devices and iCloud?

    I see all the information about deleting photos from Photo Stream, but is that the same as the iCloud and if not, how can I delete something completely from all devides and my iCloud account?

    Sorry, I can't tell what it is you're trying to ask. What does the warranty have to do with your intention to return the iPad (to whomever) and get another one?
    There's no way to deactivate a warranty.
    The warranty transfers with the machine, has nothing to do with the owner.
    Look around in the Support pages, you can figure out a way to type in your serial number and see what your current warranty status is.

  • My brand new iPad air has been completely unresponsive and needed to be "hard restarted" twice.  What's up with that?

    3 days ago, I purchased a new iPad air.  I've installed a few apps on it and have generally just been playing with it and figuring out the OS.  Yesterday, while trying to wake it up, I noticed the device was completely unresponsive, the screen would not even turn on.  I executed a hard restart (held down home and power for 10 sec).  That seemed to remedy it for the time being but it just happened again.  I'm concerned that this will be a recurring issue and will possibly degenerate into a bigger problem for my new iPad.  Is this a known issue?  If so is it a hardware or software related problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    My first reaction is, "Yuck!"
    I participated not too long ago in this forum in a discussion about music on web pages. All people with any real experience were pretty much against it, unless there was some control that would allow someone to turn it off and on, with the default being set to "off." And, of course, I don't know how it would play with assistive technolology for blind persons (were I to add sounds to one of my web pages, my sister, who is blind, would kill me, I think).
    You would need Ogg Vorbis audio in order for it to be playable in all browsers and I should mention that I had a real nightmare dealing with video on this website because I had not told Apache that Ogg is a supported MIME type. Firefox would not play the Ogg video until I edited the .htaccess file thusly:
    AddType audio/ogg .oga
    AddType video/ogg .ogv
    AddType application/ogg .ogg
    I would imagine you would have to do that on any Apache server. Until you did this, your audio might be playable in some browsers and not playable in others, like Firefox.
    But be careful to not totally distract people with your audio files. Audio on a website brought up in the workplace is usually a clue to others nearby that the person is not working for the company. The first thing that happens is that the page is immediately closed when audio starts coming out of the speakers.

  • I have an IPhone 5, and of course I have used ITunes. My Computer has been completely destroyed, so I have to Purchase a new one. How can I transfer my music from my iPhone to my New PC?

    I have an IPhone 5, and of course I have used ITunes. My Computer has been completely destroyed, so I have to Purchase a new one. How can I transfer my music from my iPhone to my New PC?

    The way I do it is I hook to my windows computer, it will pop up iTunes. I click iTunes off. The phone will show as another drive on your computer. Click it open then migrate to the photos folder from the iPhone.
    Then select all, cut then right click on your pictures folder on your computer or make a new folder on your desk top like I do and right click on new folder and select paste.
    Photos will be gone. Just remember to turn off the iPhone sync in your photos folder on the phone or they will come back
    Good Luck

  • My PC has been restored to factory settings, can i sync my music on my ipod with a new itunes page.

    my PC has been restored to factory settings, can i sync my music on my ipod with a newly downloaded itunes

    You'll want to copy the music from your iPod to your computer and into iTunes first.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering some of the different methods and software available to assist you with this task.  Once you have successfully copied all your content back to your PC and into iTunes, you can safely Erase and Sync your iPod.

  • I rented a movie in the iTunes Store but now when I want to watch it it says; 'cannot load the movie' while it says the download has been completed.. What now? I already payed for it.

    I rented a movie in the iTunes Store but now when I want to watch it it says; 'cannot load the movie' while it says the download has been completed.. What now? I already payed for it.

    Did you rent the movie on your iPad?  Are you trying to watch it on your iPad?
    Do you have WiFi connectivity when trying to start viewing the movie?
    You should have answered "yes" to all the above.  If not, that is probably the source of your issue.

  • HT1414 When updating my iphone with new software it came up on screen with the cable and itunes sign (which is what I should get when restoration has been completed) yet it is still saying restore. I have tried 3 times and the screen won't change. HELP!

    When updating my iphone with new software it came up on screen with the cable and itunes sign (which is what I should get when restoration has been completed) yet it is still saying restore. I have tried 3 times and the screen won't change. HELP!

    If the sign does not go away it has not completed the restore. So you are incorrect when you say it "keeps completing the restore" if that message is still displayed.
    Do you get an error message? If so, what is the error number?

  • HT1725 My purchases are only playing halfway through the song then they jump to the next song even though the download has been completed "successfully". Does this mean an incomplete download? How do I rectify this? Please help

    My purchases are only playing halfway through the songs then they jump to the next song even though the download has been completed "successfully" Does this mean I have to repurchase and download again?

    Delete and redownload.
    You do not pay for redownloads.  Follow the direction:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • In the last few days iTunes on my iMac 21.5" has been launching unexpectedly and repeatedly. I have OSX 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5.3 installed. Any ideas?

    In the last few days iTunes on my iMac intel 21.5" has been launching unexpectedly and repeatedly. I have OSX 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5.3 installed and usually only Mail and Safari running, although it makes no difference what else is actually running. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply. I don't use MobileMe, so it shouldn't have been that. I did a complete computer reset by shutting down, pulling the plug for several minutes. Since then, the problem has not reappeared, so I'm hoping that the problem has been solved.

  • HT1766 I've just purchased an Iphone 5c. I have chosen the restore from iCloud and the phone has now restarted to complete the restore. It has been 3 hours and the progress bar has not moved.

    I have chosen the restore from iCloud and the phone has now restarted to complete the restore. It has been 3 hours and the progress bar has not moved. I have now tried to reload again by holding the sleep etc, to no avail

    If all you want is your old photos, you could backup your new phone using iTunes, then restore it from your iCloud backup, import the old photos to your computer, then restore it from the backup your made in iTunes returning your newer data to your phone.  If you want your old photos on your phone, sync them there from your computer using iTunes.  The process would look like this:
    Connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases; right-click again and select Backup.
    Disconnect from your computer and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to return it to new
    Go through the activation setup, choosing to Restore from iCloud backup.  Make sure your phone is plugged into a charger and has access to wi-fi as this can take hours to complete.
    When complete, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
    Now import the old photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
    When done, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose the backup you made in step 1.
    Go to the Photos tab and select the photos you want to sync to your phone and sync.

  • Customising the  "Action has been completed" page

    Does anyone know how to customise the page that is shown to a user when they go back to a completed activity?
    By default you have a white page with the info picture and the words " Action has been completed"
    I was wondering if anyone knows how to customise this completed page so that it shows something a bit nicer? (a static HTML page would be great to put in its place)
    We're on EP7 SP14 if that helps...

    Hi Danny,
    This can be achieved by using the "Callable Object for Display". if you are not aware there are two types of callable objects.
    1. Callable Objects for Execution (The one that we use mostly) - this callable object is called by the GP runtime when then user is executing the step.
    2. Callable Objects for Display - this callable object will be called when the execution for the step is already complete. And during later stage user comes back and clicks on some previous step.
    You can also check following link for more info
