Retrieving music

Is there a way to retrieve purchased music if you've deleted it from your ipod?

I'm afraid not. Apple does not offer replacement of lost or deleted music. It is a good idea to make regular backups of your purchased music (as well as the rest of your iTunes library) in case of such an event.

    I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone.  I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone.  Does anyone know how I can get my music?  I know longer own the iPad so I don't have access to it, but I don't think that should be a problem.

    So you had music on the iPad that is not in iTunes and you no longer have the iPad. Is that what you are saying? If that is what you are saying, iTunes won't "recognize" anything that was on the iPad, that was not purchased from iTunes. If the music was purchased from iTunes, you should probably be able to download it again for free as long as you are using the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Did you try downloading the music again?
    Am I understanding what it is that you want to do? If I am understanding you correctly, you will find this to be useful.

    I admit that I'm a little confused by your remark about being logged into your iPad account. You should be logged into your iTunes account.

    I'm going to see if Currys can remove all info from my hard drive and hopefully recover my itunes, but if this does not work is there another way to get them?

    The computer not working in no way means the drive is inaccessible.
    Place the drive in an external enclosure.
    Use the backup of the computer to restore the data to the new computer.

  • I formerly had an iPhone 3 with my iTunes account/music on it. I've recently purchased an iPhone 5s. I no longer have the iPhone 3. Is there any way to retrieve music from my account and put on my iPhone 5s?

    Yes.  Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy the music in settings on the phone.
    Then tap on "purchased" in the iTunes app on the phone and download the music to your new iPhone.

    Check from your recycle bin.
    Usually when you delete a song from iTunes, a popup window will ask whether you want to move the file to recycle bin or keep the file.  So it's either still in your PC or Recycle bin.

  • How can I retrieve music tracks from the cloud?

    I deleted music from my library expecting it to now be available in the cloud.
    When I search in purchased items in iTunes and click on the item, it tells me that the original file is no longer available.
    I am not expecting the file to be available just the music track/album etc.

  • How can i retrieve music i bought after accidently deleting it??

    any know how to retrieve music from itunes if you have accidently deleted it before syncing iphone4 with the computer??

    You buy one and only one download.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • Software to retrieve music from iPod to computer

    Hello. I have one new iPod (photo version) which is working properly. I also have an older model, which is mostly not working,though once in a while, I try again and it seems to sputter and lets me recharge and then dies again.
    I have lost my WHOLE iTunes (another problem, not trying to address this anymore), and since I have about 50% of my music on these two iPods, I would like to find out about the rescue software I have heard about, which enables one to retrieve the music FROM the iPod, back to my Mac desktop. If there is any other solution, I am all ears, but mainly I am looking to know where and how I can get the software to rescue my music from the iPod.
    Hope this is clear! Many thanks in advance for your help!

    Do a Google search for ripping music from an IPOD. I had to do it once when my Rev A Imac was returned with multiple failures. The music was on my Ipod and I wanted it back on my new rev B Imac. Worked out just fine!
    As long as you own the cd, and it is not purchased d/l music...you have the right under the fair use act, to copy FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE! I do not believe this would violate any Apple Rules either, but check to make sure!

    OK - I am going to try this.
    I had the same thing - my computer crashed.
    I have re-installed the software, but I am really nervous to connect my ipod, because in the past it automatically updates from my (now empty) library. Is there something I need to reset somewhere before I connect my ipod?
    Thanks

  • How do I retrieve music from old iPhone?

    I have an old iPhone that has a bunch of music, pictures, etc. on it that I want to pull off it and put onto my new Macbook Pro. My old Macbook Pro had all of it on it, but got stolen and I had NO backup! UGH! So, I tried syncing the old iphone to this new Macbook Pro, that doesn't have anything on it yet, to try and get the music and other stuff off it; but I got a message saying that if I sync it with the new computer, all the media on the old iphone will be replaced! I don't want to lose it, I want to retrieve it! There's GOT to be a way! Can someone help me out?
    Basically, I just want to download all the content off this old iPhone onto the laptop so I have SOME music and some of the pictures I lost from when my laptop was stolen.

    Yeah, I found instructions on how to pull music, pictures, etc. off the iPhone here: http://m.engadget.com/default/article.do?artUrl=http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/ 25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone-os/
    And I found a free Mac OS X app that allows you to download files off an iPhone without doing anything you're not 'supposed' to do (i.e. jailbreak) to your iPhone. It's here: http://www.macroplant.com/podtomac/
    Problem solved!
