Itunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other items you will have to get them from where you got them the first time.

I have updated my iPod and it deleted everything including my photos and I did not save my photos on any other device, How do I get them back?
You didn't import all of your pics regularly? Particularly before an update?
They may very well be gone.
You can try restoring from backup. -
hi, my memory was full so i decided to backup my iphone to the laptop and by mistake everything got deleteed and got replaced by the old backup? anyway i can get my stuff back ?
Oh no! You restored from a backup instead of creating one! If you do not have a more recent backup anywhere, then there is no way!

My boyfriend wanted to update his iPhone so I let him use my computer/iTunes to do it because he does not have his own. When we plugged his phone in it brought up his name to select and then we began the update. After it was done and his phone came back up it had deleted most of his info he had like contacts and replaced it with my contact list. Is there anyway to get his info back and restored to his phone? Help!!
You can only sync to 1 iTunes library on one computer.
If you sync to another, you get what happened to you.
If you have not backed it up on your computer, where you originally synced to, you are out of luck.
If you did backup up, read this:

Hello rhys139,
It sounds like you are trying to transfer music from your iPod to your computer. I found an article with information on transferring media from your iPod to your computer:
iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

I recently got a new iphone 4. Before plugging it into my Mac, I had taken a ton of pictures with it. I finally plugged it in to update my phone and get my music from my Mac. In the process, I selected "restore from backup". After losing all of my new pictures on my phone, and not syncing my music, it seemed like the worst thing I could have done. Is there any way to retrieve these pictures? Any help will be appreciated.
The pics are gone. This is what a restore is. You erased your iphone, reinstalled your software, then added back your settings from the date of the last backup.
You should have imported your photos to your computer as you would with any digital pictures, before any restore or update.

how do i get music back that i bought in itunes store?
Woah there fella, if your files have been deleted and you still keep the same hard-drive you might want to use some undelete software first, such as http://www.officerecovery.com/freeundelete/ which I am not familiar with. Just make sure you recover the files into an external or different drive than the one you are recovering first... Otherwise it won't work. You could porbably restore most of your data this way, music and everything else.
Otherwise:
1. Open iTunes (latest version).
2. On the left ruler, under "Store", click on "Purchased".
3. On the bottom right of the screen click on "Download Previous Purchases".
4. Download whatever you like. -
Loaded icloud and it erased everything from my calendar. How can I get that info back??
Once I loaded icloud into my iphone, it erased everything from my phones calendar and didn't forward any
of that information to my icloud online acct either.
I NEED that info back. How can I find it and get it back??
PLEASE HELP!!I thought this happened when I first updated the software on my iPad. I didn't see any of the calendar events. Eventually they showed up tho. I am not sure exactly how long it took (or why the delay) but all the events were there when I checked again a couple of days later (may have been earlier but I didn't check). Maybe it's just the same thing?

Everything that was saved on my Firefox including bookmarks for work, important add on with things saved on them, and all of my previous downloads. One minute it was working i quit Firefox then opened it up again and all of my items had been deleted. Please help!
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

please advise
The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

Please Help!!!
I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

i just updated to the new software, now im getting error when i send a txt "cannot receive in box is full" ive deleted alot and cant get this fixed, also when i first did the update i lost all contacts, pics and it deleted all txt conversations after several restores i did get all that back but cannot receive txt, any suggestions?
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
I used to have Emoji on my iPod when I first bought it. I had to restore my iPod because it went into recovery mode and it deleted everything. How do I get Emoji back? Do I have to buy it off iTunes?
You can redownload iTunes purchases at no additional cost by:

I plugged my iphone in for the first time to my computer. I synced it with my itunes and it deleted everything. Now I don't know what to do because I did not even have the chance to back it up! everything is gone please please help me!
When you saw this dialog box, did you choose "Erase and Sync"?
If you did, your iPhone was erased, then your iTunes Library was transferred to it. If your iTunes Library was empty, your iPhone will be also.
Your previously purchased music, apps, books, and videos are still yours. You just have to download them again.

I updated my iPod and it erased everything i had on it. How do i retrieve the songs that i bought from the iTunes store? when i try to download/buy them again they tell me i have already purchased them do i want to buy them again? I have authorized my computer but none of them are in my music now.
You buy one and only one download.
It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
Certainly you did not update your ipod without making sure that you had transferred anything purchased on the ipod to your computer and included it in your regular backup copy of your computer.
