How to get back music lost while syncing to itunes?

how to get back music lost while syncing to itunes?

If the music you lost during the sync process is no longer on the iPod, in your iTunes library, or in a backup elsewhere, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
You may be able to redownload any lost purchases via iCloud (pending you live in a country where iCloud has gone live).
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Is there anyway to export the iPod metadata from my iPhone 4? I don't need the music, I have that on an external hard drive, but my backup got wiped out and I need the metadata.

Okay, so I had to re-install iTunes. My iTunes library is currently empty. I can make a new back up and the location of the songs not having changed, these will be available in my library?

Do I need to stay online while Fire Fox is updating?

A Fire Fox update box appeared stating: "Fire Fox has new updates for your computer". Each time I clicked OK for the updates, I found that the process would take several hours and once done there was no notification of completion. Thus, my question: Do I need to stay online while Fire Fox is updating?

What you can do instead of the partition is create a new user for your son on (YOUR partition).
Transfer all purchases from the device to iTunes Back up the iPad , restore the device , synchronize the device.
Erase your son's partition after you are sure everything works .

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Again, Ronald

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content.

How to get music after computer lost in fire?

My computers were lost in a total house fire. I have now purchased a Mac and would like to get the music I purchased onto my iTunes. I can see the purchases in my account. I obviously have no file to transfer from the old computer, so how do I get the music I purchased onto my new iTunes?

I'm sorry to say that I'm sorry to say that the policy on music/media purchases is that you only get one download: iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
The licensing of Purchased applications allows for them be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
If you have an iPod that still has any of your purchases on it you'll find details in this article on how to transfer them to the computer: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
Failing this, you could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link it'll take you to the support/contact page, from there click on Music Purchases then the Lost or Missing Items option, from there click on "Email Us": Customer Service - iTunes Store Support

The article from which you came provides step-by-step instructions on re-downloading purchases. Where in those instructions are you encountering difficulty?

Need to download lost music

I went online to see how to download past purchased music and movies since I lost most of it on a crashed disk: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
I follwed the directions and found this little "cloud icon" and clicked dowload all and the download started.
After about 5 minutes and part way through the download iTunes froze and I had to "Force Quit" the application.
I restarted iTunes and appeared to complete a download but then stopped.
Is this a one time shot at getting them back?
Now I wanted to download lost movies but don't know where they are?
Where is the Movie button?
Where are the Movies?

I went to "Books" and one of the books I purchased has changed it's name to "Unknown Ablum, Unknown Author" and when I can look at it. The cover icon is there but it doesn't work. The book is called "A Storm of Swords" by George R.R. Martin (part of the Game of Thrones series). It's not allowing me to download it again?

Music lost after IOS 8 update

I have & iphone 5 & backed it up to my PC before updating to IOS 8. Now I have lost most of my music & audio books & can't restore to an earlier backup as they have all gone after the update was done. Also most music & books purchased in Itunes has also gone so it is like I never purchased them. What do I do now? Can I go back to IOS 7 by wiping my phone as I have a laptop with backups (and all my music and audiobooks) on it? All backups also went when my manager upgraded his iphone 5 to IOS 8 on a separate PC.

Music and other media are not part of the backup at all. You can re-sync media from the iTunes library on your computer. Music purchased from iTunes can be re-downloaded at no charge. Audio books will need to be re-purchased if you did not back them up.
You can not downgrade to an earlier version of iOS and even if you could, it wouldn't change anything.

Need help with lost iMovie project.

I was creating an iMovie project for school and needed to save it on a USB, so I clicked on 'Export Movie' from the 'Share' options menu in iMovie. I chose the type I wanted it saved in (viewing for computers) and then a smaller screen in iMovie popped up saying it was exporting the movie, or something like that. It took about a good 30 minutes and my project was a 7 minute movie with film clips, music, transitions, ect. I exported this project to my USB but when it finished it wasn't on there and when I finally found it on the Mac somewhere, I went to drag it into my USB but it said it was full. I then dragged the project onto my desktop and tried to open it to see if it worked. When I did the iMovie icon jumped once and stopped. I clicked on iMovie and it was still there in the projects screen. I then decided to close iMovie and open the project again from my desktop to see if it would play like a normal movie but once I clicked it the iMovie icon jumped again, opened but my project that I was trying to open was not there anymore and wouldn't open from my desktop file. I cannot open it at all and view it, it has been lost from my iMovie. Is there a way that I can get it back? Really need some help with this.

What version of iMovie are you using?

Music lost in Katrina flood

My computer and all back up disks were lost in my home, which was flooded due to hurricane Katrina. All the music I purchased during the past 2 years from the iTunes Music Store was lost. Without my compter hard drive and disks, I cannot retrieve the music I already purchased. Please advise how I can obtain or download the music I've purchased. My purchases should appear in your records.
Also, I will need to deauthorize my previous computer and download to my new laptop as well as update my credit card information. Please advise on those procedures.
In the information requested below, I will list my current computer.
Thank you for your assistance.

Hello, Karen,
Sorry to hear about your problem. You need to understand, though, that except for rare occasions, no one who posts here works for Apple. The Discussions are for users to ask for assistance from other users, so no one here can help you directly.
What you need to do is contact iTunes Music Store Customer Service and explain what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis, but it's not guaranteed.
Good luck.

Music lost

Alright, I had 400 songs on my iPod, but then it froze. I had no choice but to reset it (At least I think that was my only choice), but all my songs were gone (I knew that would happen) Now every time I plug it in, it updates the songs, but today it said there wasn't enough memory left to update. Since the memory is still as used as it was before I reset, does that mean I can recover my songs? If so, how? And, does anyone know why I can't select anything on my iPod (its kinda a grey color, instead of black font)? Thanks so much

You loaded songs on your iPod and then deleted the songs from the iTunes library and computer's hard drive?
If these songs weren't deleted from your iTunes library and computer's hard drive, there is no reason to recover the songs on the iPod.
Although there is a method for transferring songs from an iPod to your computer, it is designed to be a one way transfer process - from iTunes to the iPod which is why you shouldn't delete songs from the iTunes library - especially purchased music. Songs imported to iTunes from music CDs can be easily replaced but not the same with purchased music. If you delete songs from the iTunes library and computer hard drive and your iPod is lost or stolen or you experience this same problem again and/or the iPod requires a complete restore, your purchased music will be lost.
This is also why maintaining a backup of your purchased music is important.
Did you perform a reset or a restore?
If you performed a restore which restores the iPod to factory default settings, all music was erased from the iPod and it should be empty.
Regarding why you can't select anything on your iPod when connected to the computer and iTunes, you need to select "manually manage songs and playlists" via iPod preferences.
