My itunes music has gone :-( how do i get it back?

Can I put all of the tracks/videos on with the play count/playlists still there?
Hi,
I have just turned on my computer, then itunes.
What I found was nothing. I store all my files on an external hard drive and wasn't connected when I first loaded it up.
I have tried loading up itunes with the hard drive and even my playlists and videos have gone.
How can I reload all the tracks without manually putting all my music, videos, photos and podcasts?
Thanks

Visit the store, log in and download again, what you can get. Apps are no problem, even videos.
Regarding music, this is not since ever that you can download music again. So if there are older purchases, like from 5 years ago, you can't simply download them again from the store.
In this case, contact iTunes support saying you lost all music purchases from before a certain date and kindly asking if they would make that available for download for you and most probably they will. The store keeps your purchase history, so they can verify.
After all or at least most of the stuff is ack on HDD again - make a backup! And later, regularly make backups again. Remember it.

I've just updated my ipod touch, all the music has gone. How do i get them back?

Just try resyncing it from your iTunes library.
If it was not in your iTunes library when you did the update it is gone.

Some of my music has gone - how do I get it back?

I have just opened iTunes and all my music in the Classical genre have gone!
Why has this happened and how can I get my music back?

Hi paulbnz,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that some songs are missing from your iTunes library. If the music was purchased from iTunes you can get this music back to your iTunes Library two different ways. You can either transfer purchases from your iOS device to the iTunes Library (if you have an iOS device), or you can just download the music again from the Purchased section of iTunes. I will post the information on both ways to recover your purchased music below.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use that to put everything back

Did latest update and ALL my music is gone, how do i get this back

Did latest IPHONE update and ALL my music is gone. What happened? How do I get it back?

Re sync it from iTunes. If you did the update on a computer, you probably didn't wait long enough for the process to finish. I don't think I like the fact that the phone no longer gives an indication on screen when it's syncing, but that's the way it is. Updating on a computer, it will restore, then re-sync apps and music after the fact. If you're not looking at the status bar in iTunes on the computer, it's easy to think it's completely finished when it isn't.

Hi clorowan
I found the following information that may be helpful:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads

Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

I updated ITunes for the first time. Now all my music is gone, How do I get it back. I teach dance classes and need it now.

Also some agreement is coming up. What is that? I should have left it alone. I am so frustrated as I need this music to teach classes.

While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

You can't the old built-in app back, it's been removed from iOS 6. You can either try one of the YouTube apps from the app store or try accessing it via Safari (you can create a homescreen shortcut for the site)

My itunes music has gone ='(

my itunes music has gone!
it is still in my documents and stuff but not on my actual itunes =(...it has also erased all my purchased music aswell does anyone know the resolution to this dilemma somebody help me i will die without my ipod music ='(

check the itunes folder location. preferences>advanced>general.
just you know check if it's pointing in the right direction.
I think your purchased music should still be in your music folder.

I lost all my music on my iphone by clicking to the itunes store transfer purchase how do i get them back

Hi i wanted to transfer the music from my iphone to the computer with out erasing from my phone then when i called techinical suppost he told me to click transfer purchase (my name) and now the music i bought in itunes that was on my iphone 4 is all gone how can i get them back!!

Is the music not on your computer?
You buy one and only one download.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.
