Songs I imported from cds are no longer in my iTunes account. How can I get them back without having to reload them on?

There are 158 songs that were once in my iTunes that are now missing. I put all of them on from cds. The only songs that are left are ones that i have purchased. When i pulg my ipod into my computer to add recent songs that i have bought it tells me that i need to erase and sync my ipod with my itunes library or cancel. Well i dont want to erase my ipod and sync it with my itunes because that is 158 less songs that would be on there. On the apple website it said that songs from cds are in the itunes media folder but when i went there it is still just my purchased songs. I dont know what to do except reload all of them back on there but i really dont want to since im not the one who took them off!! Im not entirely sure when the songs went away but i recently updated to itunes 10.4 (i think its .4) and im not sure if that is why they are gone. Thank you in advance to any help!!

Recently got a new computer and downloaded iTunes. All of my music has downloaded from the cloud witht the exception of one song. I have tried transferring from my phone, but it won't work. How do I get it back without having to download again?

My iphone has recently crashed & i had music from itunes i had not yet synced to my computer how do i get it back without having to buy it again, im in Australia so do not yet have icloud

Unfortunately you can't. You could try contacting Apple and asking nicely, but they're under no obligation to help you. If you can wait until fall*, when iCloud is officially launched alongside iOS 5, you can probably download them all again then.
The small print at the bottom of http://www.apple.com/au/icloud/ says "some music features of iCloud are available in beta now in the U.S. only"
I can't find anything which guarantees it will work outside the US after the beta, but it probably will. iTunes Match is definitely US only, for a couple of years at least until the legal stuff is dealt with.

Since I have synced my contacts with Hotmail, I can no longer use relationships. How can I get this back without having to set up another email account?

I am currently using Hotmail with syncing enabled for mail and contacts. However, I cannot find or add the fields for family members or any relationship other than manager and assistant. I cannot add the fields manually, nor can I get Siri to assign the proper relationship to the right person (everyone defaults to manager or assistant).
I'd really prefer not to have to use a different email address just to be able to use the phone; however, up until I synced the accounts I was able to edit relationships. Can anyone help me out?

This is a limit with an Exchange account.

I accidentally erased music somehow from my itunes library, how can i get it back?

i accidentally erased music somehow from my itunes library, how can i get it back? I'm not sure how I did it, but I do know something has been wierd ever since. i remember using it and arranging songs, and then, bing! Songs were missing. Please help!
Not quite sure what info you need to answer this. I dont have all my music synced to icloud unfortunately...at least not that i'm aware of.

You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here. If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries. Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer. You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple. On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application. So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

I'm using a mid 2014 13" rmbp. I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

It's something to do with the main user account (not iTunes account) on my Mac because I logged in with another account and it downloaded fine, I installed it on the HDD and even though the date in App Store was 16th October 2014, it is the full installer of 10.10.2.
To try to resolve this problem, I have copied the installer app elsewhere and deleted it but App Store still will not allow me to download it with my main user account yet just allowed me to update iTunes.
I had a brainwave last night that it might have been related to me changing the default downloads folder to one not on my boot drive (to save disk space on my main boot drive) but having changed it back, tried again, rebooted and tried yet again, deleted my App Store preferences. nothing has worked.

Go to your Spotlight search. (Swipe from left to right at your primary home screen.)
Type in 'Facebook'.
You should see your Facebook app.
Unless you held down an app icon until it 'wiggles', then hit the black 'x' to delete it, you didn't delete the app.

You purchased it directly from Amazon, not the App Store? It was a downloadable application, or one that came on physical install DVDs?

All of my purchased ringtones and songs dissapeared out of the blue. How do I get them back without having to buy them all over again?

Out of the blue, all of my purchased ringtones and music aren't displayed anymore on my iPhone.
I went to iTunes to see if they were stored there, but the downloads folder also appears to be empty. If I try to select a ringtone I've downloaded before, a popup appears saying that I've already purchased that item and asking if I want to cancel or buy. If I click on buy, then I pay for the item again even if I already have it! The only place I can still see my purchased items is in the iTunes application on my computer, but even though I've already selected sync, the ringtones and songs still won't appear on my iPhone.
What happeneded and how can I get them back without having to pay for them all over again?
Thank you!

I'm having the same problem on an iphone 4s running iOS8; when i updated to iOS8, all my ringtones went missing, and when i got a £50 gift card for christmas (2014), I purchased some songs from the iTunes store on my iPhone. i downloaded songs from paramore, panic! at the disco, coldplay, and imagine dragons, over wi-fi, and they went into my iphone music library; but when i re-opened the music app a few days later, in a place where i had no wi-fi, except for my 3G phone signal, some cloud icons appeared next to my newly purchased songs, telling me to re-download them from the cloud, when i haven't even deleted them. this has happened twice now, and i had to use up some of my 5GB data allowance to redownload them from the cloud. This is annoying and i need to fix this issue ASAP.

Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

Imported imovie lost sound after I recorded in garageband. How can I get it back?

I imported a movie from iMovie into Garageband. Some of this movie had recorded sound that I wanted to keep. I also wanted to record narration which is why I imported to garageband. After recording the narration of the movie in garageband, all of the original sound in the movie after that point has been lost. Not the stuff before the garageband recording, just after.
How can I get this back?

Thank You for the response Christoph. I'm pretty sure the first possibility is what happened, recorded on the same track as the movie audio. I initially tried moving the audio I recorded in garageband down to the "male basic" track to separate it from the movie audio but that did not work.
I am unsure how to implement your suggestion. How do I extend the region with the movie's audio to the right? I scrolled all the way to the right and did not see any audio original to the move. Can you be more specific?
I appreciate your help. Thank You.

Depending upon what country that you are in have you tried deleting and redownloading it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes ? If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Songs bought on iPhone deleted during sync. How do I get them back without having to purchase them again?

I recently got around to syncing my iPhone 4S with my laptop - hadn't done it for a while. For some reason it seems that the sync wiped the songs I had been purchasing over a few months via the iPhone on iTunes music store - and now they can't be found anywhere! Neither on the phone nor the laptop.
have any of you experienced this and how did you get your tunes back???
All the best
Carsten

Hi Ian
Thanks for the tip. Tried that - but seems not to work on the Danish iTunes store. Something to do with rights, I think. But will try again. Any other ideas?
