My iTunes was stored on an office laptop which I no longer have access to. Can I get this back on another PC?

I downloaded iTunes and had all my files (music only) on a company laptop. I have since left the job. Can I access my account from a different PC, or is it al lost forever?!!?

Were the songs purchased from iTunes? Try here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

I can't remember my itunes password but i cant recover it because i no longer have access to my email i us for my Apple ID

I cant remember my itunes password but i cant recover it because i no longer have access to the email i used for my Apple ID

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I forgot my passcode on my iPad and it was synced to a different computer that I no longer have. What can I do about this?

I have forgotten my passcode on my iPad. It was synced to a different computer that I no longer have. What can I do about this and if it at all possible without losing everything that was on it. Thanks for the help.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

HT4859 I CHANGED THE EMAIL ON MY ITUNES AND IT IS NO LONGER BACKING UP BECAUSE IT WANTS THE OLD EMAIL, WHICH I NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TOO.

I changed the email to my itunes and now my cloud is stuck on the old email which I no longer have access.

To change your iCloud account to a new Apple ID, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPad. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
This will not move your photo stream, however. If you have photos in photo stream that aren't in your camera roll and you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. You can then delete the iCloud account and your photos will stay in your camera roll.

I recently reset my computer to factory settings. I re-downloaded iTunes, but lost most of my music and all of my playlists in both iTunes and my 4S. How can I get this back?

Restore your media from the backup of the computer created prior to restoring the computer.
You did create a backup, correct? Not doing so would be extremely unintelligent.
iOS devices are NOT backup devices.

The default about:home page in Firefox 4 doesn't give such features. You can set the home page to http://www.google.ca to get that possibility. The results page has a "Pages from Canada" link in the side menu at the left.

HT1911 My old Apple ID was tied to an email address that I no longer have access to, and for some reason, my security question answers don't seem to be working. Is there any other way to retrieve or reset my password?

You need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

(p.s. I do suspect a deletion has occurred courtesy of my 4 year old nephew, some other stuff has gone too, but beats me how he deleted a whole program!!!)

Hi clorowan

Sorry, without knowing the Apple ID/Password that was originally used to activate this phone, then there is no way to re-activate it, as you've found out.
Apple can't/won't help you. Your choice is to get this info, or you simply won't be able to re-activate this phone.
If you ex won't give it to you, then consult a lawyer.

My old computer, and external that I had everything backed up on broke. Majority of my music I got from burning CD's that I no longer have. How can I get all my music on my iPod onto my new iTunes?

Like I said, my back up broke and I can't get all of my music back by transfering purchases because I burned a lot of CD's I had collected from the past. I don't have any of those CD's anymore, so how can I get all of my music onto my new iTunes? Or am I just S.O.L.?

Phone to Mac,this app lets you easily copy, transfer the music, videos and playlists from any iPod or iPhone directly into iTunes on any Mac.

HT203167 My iTunes had over 100 albums, but now only 5 after an update. How can I get them back?

Like I said, I had well over 100 albums on my computer. These were all imports from physical albums, some of which I don't have anymore. I updated iTunes this morning and now I have 5 albums. I've tried rolling iTunes back to a saved point, but it didn't put anything back in and now that restore point is gone. I thouht I could just search for the albums on my computer and re-import them, but they seem to be wiped from the entire computer. What the heck? Is there any way to get them back?

I was cleaning out my itunes and a bunch of music that I didn't delete is gone. how can I get it back?

I was under the impression that I needed more space to use the new version of IOS 8 on my iMac, which is 8 years old. So I was getting rid of a lot of the music that I had in my iTunes that I had burned and already owned on CD and accidentally deleted a ton that I downloaded from iTunes. Is there any way to get that music back without buying it again?

Yes. Anything you purchased from iTunes can be downloaded again free of charge: Download past purchases

My iTunes was stored on an office laptop which I no longer have access to. Can I get this back on another PC?
