Restoring purchased songs after re-installing operating system

I had to reinstall my entire operating system (Windows XP), but my computer died before I could get into Windows to transfer my music to an external drive - is there a way to at least get the songs I purchased from the iTunes store again (songs I bought before re-installing the operating system)? I'm using the same computer, same everything, and want to at least restore some of my music...Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

  • How to resync third generation iPod Touch after backup and restore and re installation of the operating system?

    Hello.  I have a third generation iPod Touch that I have been having problems with the cover art not displaying by the correct artists and the volume automatically adjusting after spell check has corrected a word.  I backed up and restored the device and reinstalled the operating system, which fixed the bug I experienced with the album art not displaying next to the correct artists.  Since that has happened, my computer no longer recognizes my iPod.  How can I get it to recognize the iPod Touch again?

    Make sure you have the laters version of iTunes. The latest is 11.1
    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

  • Mac won't update software or access iTunes shop. Message comes up with 'not connected to the net. Check connections' error. I still have internet access. Changed my Apple ID but no result. Repaired permissions and re-installed operating system.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • MDT 2012 \ WinPE 3.0 Slow Install Operating System

    I have an issue with a custom wim I have incorporated into my Task sequence. When I use a custom Wim, at the point where the MDT Tasksequence begins to "Install Operating System" it slows down to a crawl. What previously took 5-10 minutes on a
    previous wim, is now taking 30-50. When the "Install Operating System" task begins, it starts a at a very decent rate, you can see the percentage or time increasing/changing every few seconds with out issue, but when it gets to 30% completion, it
    starts to slow down dramatically. Eventually it will get to 100% Completion, where it will stay for the next 5 minutes, at which point it will apply the unattend.xml which will also take a very very long time to complete.
    Once it reboots from applying the Unattend.xml everything runs normal.
    My Setup:
    I am using MDT 2012 - with WinPE3.0
    To create my Custom Wim I did the following:
    I created a brand new standard tasksequence, to deploy an OS to a machine, install updates then sysprep and capture to a wim. I set a custom variable in the tasksequence which set DoCapture=Yes. This allowed me to Capture the Operating system after the windows
    updates were done without having to do any additional steps. I then imported the Image into the operating systems section of my MDT Deployment share, and incorporated it into my previous Tasksequence.
    I have also noticed that the size of the wim file I created is about 1.5 gigs larger than my previous wim.
    Steps I've Taken for remediation:
    I've tried rebuilding my boot.wim several times.
    Increased the scratch size from 32 -> 64 -> 256 -> 512MB  
    Removed unnecessary drivers from the boot.wim
    Any ideas you guys might have with regard to getting my Install Operating System phase to speed up to normal speeds with be greatly appreciated.  Is there an extra step with the install.wim that I importing into MDT that I should be doing?

    I completed a robocopy in the full blown OS to download the 4.9g wim, it takes 1 minute and 36 seconds.  It does have gigabit connection active in the full blown os.
    When I am running WinPE, Task Manager is showing my local area connection is running at 1Gbps.
    Another discrepancy I'm noticing is that @ 12:16:04 [Line1801] the task sequence finishes apply the wim.  It takes 10 minutes for it to start the next task found on Line 1807.  Any Ideas on why it taking so long to apply the  bootsect.exe
    command?
    I did disable the "Apply Patches" task, and it did remove 20 minutes by not applying those patches.  Thank you for that suggestion.

  • After installation third Operation System my Imac(27) heating quikly and better.

    Good Afternoon. After installation third Operation System my Imac(27) heating quikly and better.
    I had MacOs and Win7 32bit(installed in Shop). It was ok.
    But 32 bit OS didnt work with 8Gb RAM. Therethore i installed Win7 64 bit.
    Now i Have MacOs, Win7 32bit, Win7 64 bit.
    Before installation WIn7 64bit, in Win7 32bit my Imac was working in common mode(Internet\Video) without propeller noise. But now, i have noise after 10-15 minutes Video or Browser using.
    In Win7 64bit i had more propeller noise and after 10-15 minutes play computer game, i have lags and troubles with performance!! My propeller's are spinning with maximal velocity(after 10-15 minutes). Therethore i cant play games\watch Video in my Win7 64 bit. I think that i must be install someone drivers?? I have BootCamp 4.0 under my Win7 64 bit.
    In Win7 32 bit, i dont have problems with perfomance, but noise is really stronger than was early.
    Please, Help me!
    Sorry for my bad English.
    Text for Russian employee:
    Я купил Imac 27 с установленный МакОс и Win7 32bit. Всё было хорошо, но под 32 бита не работает 8гб Озу.
    Поэтому я установил 64битку, но под ней сильно начинают крутится кулеры и вентиляторы. Примерно через 15 минут они крутятся на максимальной скорости!! Попробовал поиграть в игры, через 15-20 минут производительность начинает падать и начинаются "подвисания". Т.е. поиграть не реально. Да и при обычном сёрфинге страниц нагрев происходит быстро и кулеры начинают крутится быстрее.
    Под 32 бита производительность не падает(мной замечено не было), но нагрев происходит быстрее и кулеры начинают крутится тоже быстрее. Даже при обычном сёрфинге уже начинается шум.
    Не знаю по поводу нагрева, может он и в пределах нормы, но шума до установки новой винды было меньше!
    Помогите разобраться с проблемой. Я не хочу потерю производительности под Win7 64бита и хочу уменьшить шум/нагрев под обеими Окнами.

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
    Cheers, Gerd

  • How to install operating system on T61 from recovery folder.

    Hi,
    I bought T61 lenovo laptop on October 2007. It's almost more than one year. I didn't upgrade my warranty due to some reasons.
    Now my system infected with virus. I would like to install operating system (i.e windows XP).
    When I bought this, I didn't receive any operating system Recovery CD. I came to know that...... they provide recovery folder in the system itself. with that recovery we can install operating system.
    Could you pls let me know the path for recovery folder and let me know the installation procedure step by step.
    Thanks in advance
    Raghu

    Restart the computer, When you see the IBM/Lenovo splash screen press the blue Thinkvantage button. From there you can select recover my computer or restore to factory condition (depends on software version). Follow steps to restore.When completed make a set of recovery discs. If possible do this before restoring. The discs will be necessary if something goes wrong.
    To make the discs click Start/Thinkvantage/Create recovery set. (the names vary with XP or Vista)

  • I do not know what I should phone is locked after changing the operating system

    I do not know what I should phone is locked after changing the operating system , have the original box , receipt lost, Apple said that it is necessary to support the receipt of the first as I can not find the receipt of the first purchase when I moved to another country . I now throw my iPhone ?

    It depends what you mean by 'locked' - it can mean locked by a passcode or linked only to one particular carrier (service provider). If the latter, see the post above; if it's a passcode issue:
    1. Assuming this was bought new and you have set up Activation Lock and forgotten the passcode, please see this page:
    http://www.lifehacker.co.uk/2011/10/24/youve-forgotten-iphones-passcode
    2. If you bought it second-hand (used) - though this is not the impression I get from you post - then only the previous owner can unlock it.

  • Restoring purchased apps after software update through itunes

    restoring purchased apps after software update through itunes

    And....that's your question? How to restore the apps? Sync your iPad with iTunes and the apps should be restored to your device. Or go to the purchased tab of the App Store and tap on Not on this iPad and download them again.
    Did you restore from a backup after you updated? Can you provide any information at all?

  • Re-install operating system on Compaq NC6400

    Must I use an external DVD optical drive to recover/re-install operating system on Compaq NC6400? If an external drive is required, is it possible to use an external hard drive? And, will a simple copying the files off of the CD and onto the hard drive work as the transfer?

    Hi:
    As far as I know you need to install using a CD/DVD drive. I would suggest if your CD/DVD drive doesn't work, you can use an external one.
    I don't think you can copy the CD and to an external HDD and boot from that to install.

    I've googled around and tried a lot of 'fixes' I've found from various sites but nothing seems to have remedied this issue. The only thing that changed (That I can think of) is the IP of the VM was changed to a different one. This seems to be when it started
    failing. All steps leading up to this point seem to work fine. Does anyone have any sugggestions? This is on a newly built, Hyper-v, server 2012 R2, MDT 2013 setup.
    Much Appreciated..!

  • Losing I-tune purchased songs AFTER  using "system restore"

    I beg someone to help me. I will get to the point asap, but please be patient with my ramblings since the problem eventually gets to I-tunes.
    1-I constantly get this message when launchig yahoo messenger or watching DVD on computer or wanting to listen to my I-tunes purchased/downloaded songs" "The computer's audio output is already in use by another application". Sometimes, I get a message which states that my audio configutation is not correct. This just happened recently. ANYWAY.
    2-I decided to do system restore....and restored my system to an earlier version. THIS WAS great.....my audio configuration went back to normal. NOW, THE MAIN POINT:
    3-After doing a system restore...I totally lose my I-tunes registration. Even though I restored back to an earlier time...I should still BE able to log back into my i-tunes and store and EXPECT to find my songs. But..boom the songs are gone..it is as if I-tunes never recognized me as a user/purchaser. AND yes, I restored my computer to an earlier time BEFORE I purchased songs from I-tunes. But I do not see how this can be an issue..since....I have alread purchased the songs..and I-tunes or Apple.com has me in their system.
    So, my need is: getting my songs back, even though I did a system restore to an earlier date. Yes, I can use system restore again and go back to my recent restore point when I had I-tunes and I can find my songs..but....then...MY AUDIO configuration problem exits, again.
    sorry for rambling.
    Any help...would be be more than appreciated.
    thank you
