Retriving lost music?????

Hi all
I upgraded my ipod last year to the fifth generation when my old one crashed. I was playing with the old one the other day and low and behold I was able to get it into disk mode, so I copied all files to my computer and am now wondering how I get them back into Itunes from that funky apple format? I have most of the music all ready but I did lose a few of the tracks along the way some how and would like to restore them. It will let me import them one file at a time but not more than that. Since You can't see what the song is before you load it, it will be a looooooooooooong process to find my lost music. Any help would be greatly apprecited!!!
Thanks

hi
Thanks for the response. I have done all of that before and now again. It does not work. The songs I copied are in the Apple format (F00, F01, F02 folders and song files in four letter code such as AYLP, DFGW, etc). If I click on add folder and then select the F00, nothing happens. If I click on Add File, I click on AYLP and then it adds it. But I can't add multiple files at once. here in lies my dilema.

  • How do I retrieve lost music?

    Downloaded Itunes on a new computer and am trying to retrieve lost music files.  Everything pulled up when I first clicked the library link.  When I tried to create a playlist, a message kept popping up, saying that I needed to authorize this computer before I do anything else basically.  I then went to account settings, and it showed that the device was authorized.  I thought that maybe it just needed to be reset, so i clicked unauthorize and ok.  I went back to authorize it again and clicked done.  Then went back into the library, and the only songs that where in there, were the ones that made it into the new playlist I created before the authorization message popped up.  How do I get all of my downloaded songs back?  I went from having about 500 songs to about 9!!!!  Help!

  • Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music

    Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music. Is there a way to recover my music?

    Not if it isn't in your itunes library.  If you sync with a new computer iTunes will delete all iTunes media (such as music) from your phone and replace it with whatever media is in the new iTunes library.  Sounds like that's what happened.

  • Got new iPod, deleted iTunes, lost music

    My friend recently got a new iPod (and turned the old one in for a discount). My friend's new iPod would not sync with old iTunes, so she tried to upgrade it. For some reason it wouldn't. In frustration, she deleted iTunes from Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Now she realizes that iTunes is gone and her iPod is empty. Is all of her music gone forever? Or 1) is there a remaining library of music or 2) does the iTunes store allow you to download your purchased music again? Thank you for any assistance!

    Hi, the music files should still be on the PC. Here is an article on finding lost music.

  • HT1296 I lost music on my computer. Can I restore from my phone?

    I  lost music on my computer.  How do I sync from my phone back to the computer?

    Plug iPhone in.
    Once it mounts in iTunes, select files-devices-iPhone-transfer purchases.
    This will only transfer stuff purchased from iTunes.

  • How Can I Recover lost music?

    How Can I Recover lost music?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

    Rebooting computers does not cause files to disappear.

  • Lost music + itunes crashes

    iTunes has somehow become unstable with frequent crashes (freezes/locks up) and lost music (with no rhyme or reason as to which music has been lost).
    The iTunes program haphazardly prompts me with a message that says "The song <insert name here> cannot be used because the original file could not be located. Would you like to locate it?".
    For the most part I am able to find the song in the iTunes folder on my C drive, but there are numerous occasions when I cannot.
    I have tried upgrading my version of iTunes hoping that whatever file that was corrupted would be fixed, but the problem persist.
    I have tried to locate a number to call for assistance with the above problems to no avail.
    Questions I am hoping for help + guidance with:
    1) Is there no iTunes customer support beyond the kindness of other users?
    2) What happened to my music? I have tried to "consolidate library" and check for purchases ...?
    3) Why is my iTunes unstable? What can I do to fix it?
    4) Is there a way to contact iTunes and have them restore the songs purchased but now lost?
    Thanks much for your help. Very frustrating to have paid so much into a system (500 songs plus) and then have it be unreliable ...
    Thanks,

    Let's get the application installed properly first, then focus on the library...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.

  • Lost music after itunes update

    Hi All

    sorry to hear of your loss. that is why I always back up my purchases.
    you can email support and they can provide a one time exception and allow a re download of all yoru purchases, or at least what is still available for download.

  • How to recover lost music?

    I connected my IPod to ITunes without realizing the settings had changed to 'automatic update' (I recently downloaded a new version of Itunes without setting it to manual update). So I lost almost all my music, since I recently changed computers ie my library is almost empty!!
    How can I recover my lost music?!?

    If there is no back up anywhere (on your other computer for instance), you are left with attemtping to recover the deleted music form the iPod.
    This will require some data recovery software, and there's a post giving some options here.

    You may have to spend money, and have a little computer knowledge and the results are variable.
    Incidentally, since the setting to auto sync your iPod is an iPod setting and not an iTunes one, downloading and installing a new version of iTunes should not have changed anything.
