Delete the references to them in the iTunes library, and then download them.

  • How do I retrieve my music library after a complete computer crash.  I have a backup on a flash drive and I can access my Itunes account but my play lists and music are gone.

    How do you retrieve downloaded music and playlists after a complete computer crash.  I can log into my Itunes account and make purchases but my music library is gone.  I have an external backup on a flash drive but for some reason the music does not show up there either. It's like I have a brand new account and have to start all over.  Itunes must have an archive I can access to get my music back, right?

    Playlists should be part of your backup copy.
    You can redownload some purchases in some countries:

    My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play.  They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs.  All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. This is a new issue.  It used to work fine.  I tried restarting my iPhone and syncing with iTunes. Neither worked.  Please help!

    Try delete those songs using iTunes by de-selecting and sync. After that mark those songs and sync again.

  • Why does iCloud creates duplicate play lists and songs

    Since activating the cloud I end up with duplicate songs on my PC.  Also my existing PC play lists (which I use for my iPod and iTouch) have been renamed with a "1" after them and the original play lists now appear to be only iCloud songs (some of my regular songs have not been uploaded to the "cloud". 
    The duplicate songs in the iTunes play list number over 1000 as I have a library of about 3500 songs - which is very time consuming to delete them especially since I have to check which play list the songs belong to before I delete the duplicates.  It would be nice if:
    a) the system did not redownload songs from the cloud that are already in my existing library and,
    b) if Apple software engineers displayed the playlist(s) for each song so one can more quickly manage the removal of duplicate songs.
    Also, during my last sign-on to the cloud it created its own playlists (that is it renamed my existing playlists by adding a 1 to the name and then in fact usurped existing playlists by setting them up with only the songs available in the cloud.  Is there any way to stop that?  Thank you, 

    For events...  on the Mac open System Preferences > iCloud. Switch Calendars off then back on then restart the Mac. Hopefully that will stop the duplicates.

    If you never saved, auto save does not kick in.

  • After updating to iOS 8.1.3 all of my reading lists and favorites are gone off of safari

    Why did I lose all of my reading lists and favorites on safari when I updated to iOS 8.1.3

    Hello, Tony.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that your iPad no long starts after an update and you have a backup for your iPad.  It sounds like you will need to restore the device to factory and then will have the option to access your backup after the restore complete.  The only information that should be missing would be after the backup was completed until the device is restored.  I have included the steps for going through this process in the articles below.    
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes

  • HT4413 When migrating from time machine to my new hard drive, only some files and applications and setting are transferred, not all of them. In my latest back up I have them all. How can I fix that?

    When migrating from time machine to a new hard drive, not all is transferd, only partial documents, applications , settings etc. How can I migrate the latest back-up with all the content.

    If you want to use Time Machine to recover the contents of one of its a backups to a new drive, follow the instructions in Mac OS X 10.6: Recovering your entire system. Note that you must select the "Restore System From Backup" option from the Utilities menu of the Installer disc to do this.
    Also note that if you are transferring files to a hard drive to be used with a different computer, you should use Migration Assistant instead. This intentionally will not copy everything because some settings, applications, etc. are not compatible computer-to-computer. Migration Assistant will copy everything that is.

  • Hello..please help... I updated my 3gs and thought I had backed up, but i didn't...now all of my songs and apps are gone.  Is there any way to retrieve this??

    hello...i updated my 3gs and didnt back up my songs and apps...is there any way to retrieve them?

    Itunes content is not included in the backup that itunes makes when syncing.
    You should always make sure that you have transferred all of your purchased itunes content to your computer before any update.
    If you failed to do this, then you can redownload as expalined in the previous post.

  • I use audio memos and files are saved in icloud. while updating audio memo the apps stop working. i cannot access the apps. how can i retrieve the files saved in icloud ?

    I can't access the audio memo apps but i can see under usage - manage storage that all the files are located in icloud. how to extract .wav files from icloud if the apps is no longer responding to fileshare in itunes? Thanks.

    yes it was solved some time ago. i cant remember exactly but i think i disconnected from the internet and tried accessing the audio apps (or maybe i had accessed the apps first then only turned off internet i cant remember) thereafter the files were in my local apps and then I turned off use icloud. i suggest you backup your ipad on itunes before trying anything. All the best - hope you solve your problem.

  • I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. I have lost my progress bar and song repeat function, how can I get them back?

    I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. Unlike some people, I have not really had any problems but I am really annoyed with the new music feature. I have lost my progress bar abd song repeat function. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

    Glad to hear it all works for you.
    For future reference, if your iPhone misbehaves, always try a Reset. It's painless and often solves the problem.
       Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
    Enjoy.

  • Today all my Bookmarks disapeared from Safari, when i checked my iphone they were there and then went away the same happened on my ipad. Any ideas on how to restore?

    Today all my BookMarks disappeared in Safari, when I checked my iphone I watched them disappear from there and the same on my iPad. I then thought why not check my Parallels side and Windows Explorer. They were there for a few seconds and then also gone. Any ideas on how to restore and stop this from happening again? My iCloud setting are set for Safari sync.

    Then you have misunderstood what iCloud is.
    First. It is not a back-up service. It is a sync service.
    That distinction is very import. A back-up service would have backed-up your bookmarks but iCloud's function is to synchronize your data, in this case your bookmarks, to all your devices. A backup service, by it's very nature, would allow you to roll back to a previous version of your data or file. No such roll back function is present in iCloud's services.
    For example, if you add a bookmark to Safari on your Mac that same bookmark will be added to all your other devices that are connected to your iCloud account. Also, if you delete a bookmark it will be deleted from all those devices.
    iCloud does not make a distinction between deleting one or all of your bookmarks and it will do the same to all your devices. It does not know that was not your intention. That is why it is very important to have Backups and Apple makes it very easy using Time Machine and a simple hard drive connected to a computer.
    Let's see if your bookmarks have actually been deleted or if there is another problem.
    Your bookmarks are stored in a .plist file the following directory, ~/library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    To get to that directory go to the Finder, select the Go to Folder… menu item in the Go menu and enter ~/library/Safari/ in the field provided. There you will find the Bookmarks.plist file.
    Select it and hit the space bar on your keyboard to see a preview of the files content. Does it still contain references to your bookmarks? If it does still contain references to your bookmarks then something else is going on and we'll have to find a different solution.

  • I would like to take a iTunes play list and put it on a USB drive for my car radio to stay in my car. Is there a way to do this through iTunes so you have all the song info and there's no number in front of the name of the song? Is there a program?

    iTunes only syncs to Apple devices.
    Assuming the media is not DRM protected, any of the media can be dragged and dropped from iTunes onto other drives (external, flash, etc) as the user chooses.

  • I "sent as gift" two songs to a friend. She can't find them. Are they sent to her in an email? Will they download during a sync? How can we recover the songs and get them to her iPhone?

    Try going to iTunes Store from the left column, then Account, then Purchase History, then Manage Gifts.

    What is "a ping"?
    Do all your songs have a check mark?
