Songs deleted off HD but still in iTunes library?

Maybe a stupid question but I figured it was worth asking.
I have a bunch of songs that are not on my HD but still in the iTunes library, and my iPod is set to manual update because I'm scared of losing all my songs. The actual question is; if the songs are still in the library but the songs aren't actually there, will they be deleted from my iPod if I set it to automatic updating?
(Don't tell me to buy an external harddrive; can't afford it, haha.)

Thanks for a speedy reply and won't change that, then
(Oh, and in case someone thinks I'm dumb for not backing up? They're all backed up on CD and on another computer.)

  • All CDs deleted from iPod but still in iTunes library. help?

    So i imported some more CDs to my iTunes and it wouldn't let me drag and drop it to sync. Nothing happened whenever i did that. I ended up pressing sync and it deleted all of my CDs from my iPod 5th generation. they're still in my library, but I have no clue how to get them back on my iPod. i keep dragging them and dropping them but nothing is happening. I also restored a backup, but it was still the same. I'm getting frustrated because the CDs account for most of my music on my iPod. Any help would be much appreciated!

  • I have lost my songs from both by Ipod and my Itunes library but they are still purchased according to the Itunes store so I cant rebuy/re download them straight from iTunes, Can I get them back?

    I have recently restored my Windows laptop to factory settings in a successful attempt to speed it up but this resulted in my laptop login account being deleted as well as my iTunes library that was linked with it so since I couldnt use that account I decided to make a new iTunes library on my new laptop login then when I tried to get the songs on my iPod on to my iTunes library I lost all of the songs on my iPod so I no longer have any of my songs anywhere that I can see but when I tried to redownload my songs from the iTunes store it just says purchased next to every album/song so I can't redownload anything so the only way that I can think of to retrieve them is downloading them from , it there anyway that I can retrieve my songs?

    Hi Prince,
    OK, so you did turn on PhotoStream on your device. On iCloud.com there is no setting for PhotoStream - it is not needed. PhotoStream only get "turned on" on a device or a computer (in the computer settings - not on the website).
    So, once it is turned on, you take a picture, and it may take a few minutes before you see it in the PhotoStream on your phone. If you take a couple of pics and they don't show up, say within a half an hour, then you might want to do a reset on your phone (press the Home and Power buttons at the same time, and hold them down until the silver Apple appears - you won't lose anything by doing this....) Once it comes back up, you could try a couple more pics, or check the PhotoStream to see if the ones you took previously are there.
    Not sure about the option at the bottom of the Photo App - I think it is a permanent item (like Places - I don't use Places for my photos, but it is there all the same.
    I agree with you that it is a great backup for your photos - especially if you don't regularly sync to a computer. PhotoStream will keep up to 1000 of your photos, so it's good insurance against losing them. Just as a major user of the camera on my iPhone, I would recommend that you do back up to your computer as well. Videos are not saved in PhotoStream, so those would be lost if anything ever happened to your phone and you had not backed up to a computer....
    But don't give up on PhotoStream either - it's not only great for backing up those last 1000 photos, it is also great for sharing between devices (say, if you have an iPad).
    So, give it another try, and if you have any questions, post back!
    Cheers,

  • HT5868 I am always prompted to Trust this computer, but still my iTunes will not sync.  I have Windows 8 on my  laptop.  All of my photos transfer to the computer just fine, but the iTunes is not communicating between my phone and laptop.

    I am always prompted to Trust the Computer by my iPhone 4S, but still my iTunes will not sync.  I have Windows 8.  All of my pictures transfer to the computer when I plug my phone in, but not the iTunes. My playlists and purchased songs are not syncing either from the computer to the phone, or from the phone to the computer.  I have been working on this for days and have tried every suggestion in Help

    you just need to call the apple support or just book an appointment at the genus bar at your nearest apple store.

  • Sending the same email message several times to contacts.  Turned off iCloud, but still sending message.

    Sending the same email message several times to contacts.  Turned off iCloud, but still sending message. 
    A user had synced all of his contacts from his computer and iPhone to his iCloud.  Today, his iCloud sent out the same message 20 times to all recipients.  We were able to transfer all calendar items and contacts back to his pc and then disable iCloud.  However, it still sent out the messages.  Any ideas?

    It's a carrier issue. I have AT&T and had this issue with my friend (who had an Android) and my mother (who had a feature phone). Both of them have Verizon for service and I'm thinking the issue was on Verizon's end. They both just dealt with it as we tried all sorts of things to get this sorted out (other than contacting Verizon directly) and had no luck.
    They've both switched to iPhones so it's a moot point for us now, at least.

    Are you talking about turning off the alert sound when you receive messages and email?  If so, go to Settings>Sounds>New Mail>scroll to the top and choose None.  Do the same for Text Tone.

    What do you mean forget your phone? iTunes will still function just find without the phone. I'm not sure what you want it to do.

    iTunes Radio is not yet available in Canada.
    According to this Apple Support page, it is currently only available in the US and Australia which is revealed half-way down the page, between the two matrices.
    For those with an aversion to scrolling, or with TL;DR issues, simply ⌘-F "iTunes Radio availability by country".

  • HT4943 My magazine will not open on iPad.  It will open on iPhone. Tried deleting on iPhone, but still will not open on iPad. Running latest ios6.

    Magazine ( Dirt Bike mag ) will not open on iPad.  It will open on iPhone. Tried deleting on iPhone, but still will not open on iPad. Running latest ios6.  Used to work on iPad. Seems to try to open then goes back to main iPad screen. Perhaps began acting up when updated and cleaned up iPad or when recently installed on iPhone5. It works on iPhone now, but no longer on iPad. Deleted from iPhone, but still no workie. Downloaded from cloud back to iPhone. Works there, but not iPad.

    What are the attachments? If they're a file type the ipad can't natively open then you could have issues and may need an app to handle them.

  • HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?

    I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC.  The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library.  How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
