My hard disk crashed and I cannot find out how to "contact customer service" other than this forum. The website seems to just take me in a circle. I need to de-activate a license but cannot access the software due to a crashed hard drive. Please help.

HT1473 My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone. If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone. Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes

My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone. If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone. Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes?

Thanks, but ringtones not purchased from iTunes, created them just before computer crashed.just before the next scheduled biweekly backup.
I found and downloaded TouchCopy 12 for PC and was able to copy the ringtones from my iPhone to my Windows laptop very easily. It also enables you to transfer photos, memos, voice messages, etc.

TS3212 My hard disk crashed and I've gotten a new one and can't download iTunes, any suggestions?

I had a hard disk crash on my laptop, got it replaced and am using Windows 7 and trying to re-install iTunes using Google Chrome, but it keeps saying thank you for downloading iTunes without giving me the option to run or save the program first. And of course I cannot find it or a shortcut to it anywhere on my system. So it's obviously not downloading. Anybody know how to fix this issue??

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My hard drive crashed and I want to reinstall my personal itunes on another computer but I need to deauthorize my the original computer and I don't know how to reinstall. Can someone help me please?

My hard drive crashed and I restored my computer with my daughter's hard drive (her battery was dead) and I want to install my personal itunes on the new hard drive. I was unable to deauthorize the original computer and I do not know how to reinstall my personal itunes. Can someone help me with this?
Thank you.

Without a backup of your "crashed" HD you will have to download your iTunes purchases again. Make sure your restored computer is running the latest version of iTunes.
Here is the procedure for your reference.
On your restored 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.
When you want to play your newly downloaded music, you will have to "authorize" it. Don't worry about the lost HD until enough of your computers crash that you reach the limit of 5. Then you can "deauthorize all" and re-authorize as necessary.

Restoring iTunes library after hard disk crash and replacement

My iTunes library was on my hard drive which crashed and died last week. I now have a new hard drive. My iPod 80gb was up to date before the new hard drive was installed... can I copy the content of the iPod back to the new hard drive... HOW???
Alternatively I have a backup of my old hard drive (which included the "My Music/iTunes" folders... can I restore from there?... I tried simply copying files which didn't work. I also tried "Add folder" from iTunes, it kind of worked but many of the tunes were grayed out and had a download icon next to them, even though they were previously ripped from CDs or bought through iTunes.
what should I do???

Hey Dave W RI,
Perhaps, it would be more helpful, for you to search this forum for terms like recover music, or something related.
That would return threads, from others, that have had this same question.
Hope this helps,

My Hard disk crashed and I didn't have all the songs backed up

I had to replace my hard disk and only had 3,000 or so songs backed up - I have a total of about 5,000 songs on my 30 Gig Video iPod. Many of the songs I didn't have backed up were purchased songs from iTunes. Is there a way to move those songs from my iPod to my new hard disk?

This is what you will want to do, you will want to go into the tools menu in your windows explorer. Select folder options, click on the view tab. Once you are on the view tab, click on the folder that says hidden files and folders. On the hidden files and folders click show hidden files and folders. Then click ok on the folder options window. When you open the ipod now you will see the ipod control folder. In that folder there will be a music folder. Open that. There will be a number of folders that will begin with F00 you will want to go into the folder and you will see a bunch of song files with coded names. You will want to drag them to where it says library in itunes. The songs will automatically rename themselves to the correct name. Go through each one of the folders like this and your library will be restored.
The only thing that I would tell you is that this will duplicate all the songs in your library. So I would clear your entire library before you start this process

Hard drive crashed and need to transer songs back into iTunes from my iPod

Help! I'm a newbie to this site, so I don't know if this question has been asked before, so please forgive me if it's been posted 1,000 times! My hard drive crashed so I had to have everything reinstalled on my laptop. I've got iTunes back, but it won't allow me to transfer my songs from my iPod into iTunes- I know Apple doesn't want people sharing their iPod libraries with each other so that we'll all still pay for songs, but I don't want to lose everything on my iPod or have to pay for the songs I bought again to get them back into iTunes. Is there any way I can get iTunes to download the songs back into it from my iPod? I heard of Senuti, but that only works for MAC users, and I'm on Windows XP. Any suggestions? TIA!

1) Make sure you can view hidden files. In MY computer go to tools>folder options>view>show hidden files and folders.
2) Windows should see the ipod and your music should be on your ipod in several hidden folders. To be safe I would copy it all to say your desktop.
3) Install Itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and the Ipod updater http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ (if you don't already have it installed)
After that drag the copied folder to Itunes (drag and drop or in Itunes (File>add folder to library)
4) Plug ipod back in Itunes should see it and want to delete the contents say yes as it should all now be in your library.
YOu may need to authorise Itunes music store again by playing one of the purchased songs and than logging into your account.

I just had to have my toshiba laptop hard drive replaced and I am unable to move my itunes library from my ipad back to the laptop. It says it is linked to another library and I can only transfer purchased music etc and not the rest of the library.Help!

I have just had my Toshiba laptop hard drive replaced. This has resulted in all previous content held on the laptop to be lost. I wanted to try and transfer my music library from my ipad to the laptop, but it will not allow me to do so. The message is that the ipad is linked to another computer and it will only allow the transfer of the items purchased on through the ipad and nothing else. Does anyone know if the full library can be transferred back to the computer?

You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

My hard drive crashed and I can not find my Photoshop CS6's serial number. What do I do?

I originally had Photoshop CS5 (bought DVD), but decided to upgrade to Photoshop CS6. When I upgraded to Photoshop CS6, I purchased it online and did it through e-mail instead of DVD. The e-mail has disappeared, and my computer's hard drive crashed so I have no idea what my Photoshop CS6's serial number is. How would I be able to find it?

You cannot "connect" to it by using the serial number. The following has information from Apple regarding a lost or stolen device: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

HT1751 my computer just crashed, and i could not make a back up disc, can my collection be uploaded to my "repaired" computer from itunes library?

My computer crashed, and all data was lost, as i was unable to make back up discs prior to the repair. my entire itunes library was lost. has anyone had any success in retriving the library from itunes? i am assumming that a full back up should be within the itunes site.

It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of your media and other important files.
Use the backup of the computer to put everything back.
If you have failed to maintain a backup, most iTunes purchases can be redownloaded.
Download past purchases from iTunes
Installing iTunes has never caused content to magically appear.

CS 5.5 was crashing and reinstall will not take my serial number

Hello,
I was having many crashing issues on CS5.5 with Yosemite so I decided to download the trial again and reinstall. Now after the install, it will not take my serial number, even though it is listed in my adobe account history. HELP!!!!!
Also, everytime I try and open a file in photoshop cs5, it crashes. I get a GPU warning sometimes as well in Yosemite.
Thanks,

Computer hard drive died and I could not deactivate PS CS5 on the 2nd laptop. What now?

Is there a way to deactivate PS CS5 on the laptop that died? Obviously I can't go the typical route and launch PS on the machine and go to the Help menu.
I can only install PS CS5 on two machines so I really need to install it on my new laptop.

Simply call support by phone. And you have your terminology - you can instal lthe software on a million computers, but only activate it on two. Without activation, it will simply run as a 30 day trial.
