New hard drive. Can't find how to re download purchased music

I had to have a new hard drive put in my computer. I then chose in iTunes to manually manage content but it wiped the playlists, and songs! from my iPhone, so now I neither have them on my iPhone or hard drive but there seems to be no option
in iTunes to re download content previously purchased. Please help

"Where do I find my backup copy?"
Where ever you made it.
"Is it something I had to do manually? "
Yes. It is basic to maintain a backup copy of everything that you do not want to lose ( docs/pics/music/etc).
"f all my music is lost, as you say, then I consider a dire, and questionable, practice of Apple, that they cannot (or will not?) provide that which other music vendors online do,"
Amazon and Walmart have the same policy.
"If my purchased music is irretrievable I shall sell my iPhone and not use Apple again"
O.K.
It is not anyones fault but yours for not doing the absolute basics by maintaining a backup copy of your purchases. What did you think would happen to everything on your computer like pictures or documents and other info if your computer/hard drive were to fail?
Sorry.

  • Got a new hard drive, is there any way to get my purchased music and not purchased music on my macbook?

    My macbook pro's hard drive had to be completely replaced and none of my data could be recovered. Is there any way that is 100% sure to not erase all the music off my ipod touch and get all of it (purchased and not purchased) back onto my computer without any software?

    Hi, Shelby.
    The iPod doesn't actually support that. But good news: With the latest version of iTunes, you can re-download all your purchased music for free. Just open the iTunes store and click on Purchased on the right hand side.
    As for the rest, a quick Google search shows there is no Apple supported solution.

  • I have a toshiba computer with a new hard drive. when i installed itunes,all of my purchased music appeared. now i can only find it in my account history. how do i get my purchased music to appear in my libary again?

    hello

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old drive or the backup of the computer to the new drive.
    Installing iTunes has never caused media to magically appear on a computer. 

  • New hard drive, can't find my original discs, on line?

    Hi - never used this before, don't know how it works.
    Anyone?

    Call Apple and order replacement DVD's, you will need the serial number and a credit card. The discs are specific to your computer.

  • New Hard drive and mother board, how do I get my music off my ipod?

    Hi all,
    I recently had my headphone jack replaced and Apple was nice enough to also replace my mother board and my hardrive! I neglected to back up my music, and now all my music is on my Ipod and I don't know what to do.
    Is there any way to export my music from the ipod to my computer?
    Thanks!

    There is a program or two that you could download and use to transfer files from Ipod to Computer. Senuti is the one I have used. Works great and is free.

  • I imported photos as cat to new hard drive. Using "find" lightroom 5 can't see any photos that are PSD, how can I fix?

    I imported photos as cat to new hard drive. Using "find" lightroom 5 can't see any photos that are PSD, how can I fix?  I can see them in the folder using windows explorer.

    This is the first time I've asked a question using the forum.  Is my question understandable?

  • All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive?

    All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive? I know how to do it one song at a time, but I want to know if there is a way to do it for all 10,000 song files at once?

    There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here. 
    To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store. 
    Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
    Hope this helps. 

  • MacBook Pro 2010: Flashing folder w/? on not responding to startup keys & I'm trying to install a new hard drive, can anyone help?

    MacBook Pro 2010: Flashing folder w/? on not responding to startup keys & I'm trying to install a new hard drive, can anyone help?

    Thanks. It started up com that disk but when I went to install it had an error message (didn't get to write out what it said). So I attempted to restore from time machine but it said there was no space, even though it's a new (replacement under warranty) HGST 1TB HD,  so I did what  I think was right and tried to partition the disk but it now says 'Partition faild...POSIX report...cannot allocate memory'.  im not sure what to do, and I'm trying to remember how the previous hd was installed and formatted for use but that was over a year ago now. Should have erased the hd first or something?

    I have no idea what your question means; can you clarify?
    Also, what Adobe software do you use?

  • After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc

    After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc. Or do I have to install previous versions first. iMac 7.1 (2007) 2.8ghz

    You can install directly, assuming the disk is newer than your computer and not designed for a different Mac, but doing so won't install iLife.

    The Seagate 3TB external hard drive backs up the entire internal hard drive of the iMac.
    Is this external drive a Time Machine backup?
    Then find what you want using Time Machine (or whatever application you used to make the backup).
    Your iPhoto pictures are in the iPhoto library in Users/Pictures.

    How do you download purchased music from the newest version of Itunes to my iPhone?

    Update the version of iTunes on your computer. If the computer's currently running 10.5.8 or 10.6.8, this may require upgrading its OS.

    I recently had to replace my hard drive and lost my iTunes library.  When I try to transfer the content from my iPod to iTunes on the new hard drive (same computer), it would only let me transfer iTunes store purchases. How can I complete the transfer of all the content on the iPod back onto the computer?

  • New hard drive - can't back up to time capsule

    I recently replaced the hard drive in my imac. I successfully migrated all my data etc to the new hard drive. However, i can't back up to the original "backup" on time capsule. Time machined trys to set up a completely new backup for which there is insufficient space. Thus, I need to know how to back up to the existing backup, or. preferably, format the timecapsule disk to creat space and do a completely new backup. Please assist.

    plectical, welcome to the discussions!
    Time Machine / Time Capsule "sees" the new drive on your iMac as a new computer, so that is why it is attempting to back up the entire contents of the drive.
    I don't believe there is a way to tell Time Machine to continue with your current backups, but you might want to check with Apple to confirm.
    If there is not, the best option you have is to erase the current contents of the Time Capsule and start over with a new, complete backup of your iMac.
    To do this, you would go Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Disks Icon (top of pane) > Disks Tab (just below icons)> Erase Disk.
    Once complete, you would need to set up Time Machine again by opening System Preferences > Time Machine and selecting your Time Capsule as the destination for backups and start the process again.
    Allow plenty of time (overnight, maybe longer depending on much data you have to backup) for the first backup and use an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule directly to your computer if at all possible. Ethernet will be much faster than wireless and there will be less chance of errors on the large initial backup.
    Once the initial backup is completed, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will be much quicker.
