    You'll need to switch off iTunes Match on the device & sync the iPod with iTunes as hopefully you've kept all your music on your PC.

  • HT203167 All my music has disappeared from my iTunes, what do I do?

    I don't know why but somehow all my music has disappeared from my iTunes. I store all my music files on external hard drives.
    I don't know what to do to get it all back onto iTunes (other than individually adding each song)

    If you are lucky you may be able to recreate your library using the method here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
    If that doesn't work you can just add your iTunes Music folder using "Add Folder to Library", that gets your music back in the library but loses playlists and ratings etc.
    Becuase this is rather a common problem, it is a good idea to make backups of you Library file from time to time:
    Backup the iTunes Library Files
    The library files are in:
    My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Close iTunes and wait about 30 seconds.
    Copy iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml somewhere else e.g. into the Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
    To restore, with iTunes closed drag the current itl and xml file from the iTunes folder to the desktop, then copy the backup iTunes Library.itl into the iTunes folder. The xml file isn’t necessary but can come in handy if the library needs to be recreated and the itl file is causing problems.

  • Have not used my itunes for a while and have found all my music has disappeared.

    I haven't used my Itunes for a while but tried today to find all my music has disappeared.  How do I get it back and what has happened to it???

    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    The easiest way to get back missing items?  Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple recommends,  "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

    It could be anything. First scan with your antivirus program, and scan for malware using your adware/spyware program or Ewido http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
    Also it could be your antivirus/security suite blocking iTUnes from writting to the folders it needs.

  • I had itunes installed on a notebook, then installed on my new notebook and now all my music has disappeared off my iphone 5. ANd when i tried updating itunes on old notebook it didn't install. Help

    I had itunes installed on my old ACer and went to install itunes on my new HP. It has removed all my music from my phone.and when I tried earlier to update itunes on old acer it wouldn't install properly.
    help.

    While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.

    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

  • HT1349 all my music has disappeared!!! what do i do?

    All media should be in iTunes on the computer.
    Connect the device to the computer and sync the content back.

  • Updated iPad 2 to ios7 - Now all my music has disappeared..

    I'm sure other people have had this problem but I don't seem to be able to find an answer so I'm gonna annoy everyone by probably asking this again.
    Updated iPad 2 to ios7 weeks ago (whenever it came out), didn't seem to be any problems, listened to music only a few days ago, seemed grand, now hundreds of song gone, boom, no reason.
    I know people will say 'Just hook it up to iTunes and resync yer library' but I can't do that.  Unlike most people I don't have my iTunes set to sync everytime I connect to it.  I have it set to 'Manually manage my music and videos', I hate being forced to do stuff!  I don't have iCloud actived, see no point in it.  So my music library on my MacPro just has a few songs in it, I never keep them on my MacPro, I use my iPad for music (or did before the unexpected cull).
    If I connect to my MacPro, and click on "On this iPad" in iTunes, it's saying I have 1822 songs.  It lists them all as if they are still there but every one of them, apart from about a hundred, have little exlaimation marks in circles beside them. 
    I understand that I can probably track down all the songs and put them on again, but it took me ages the first time round.  I don't have that kinda time, especially when I wasn't the cause.
    Anyone ever find out what causes this?  And was a solution every put out there?  Or am I going to have to head up in my attic and dust off all the old CDs again?

    Did you actually sync the music to your device?  If it is disappearing when your laptop is turned off it sounds to me as if you somehow set up streaming and didn't sync it.

  • My macbookpro died and I have been using my boyfriends macbook (the itunes is an earlier incarnation of my itunes) and have been using his pro to charge, all the music has disappeared from my iphone but shows up when i plug it in to charge on his macbook,

    My macpro got wet and I have been using my boyfriends macpro to charge my iphone over the weekend, his itunes is an early version of my itunes library. I have no music showing in my ipod on my iphone. When I plug it in to the macpro it shows my music, and an up to date show of all my playlists new music etc when I click on my iphone icon, how do I get it back? Can I back up and sync from his library? Can I just back up my phone on his library and restore from that, will I get an exact copy, new stuff and all back??
    Any help appreciated

    Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
    Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
    But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

  • My iPhone music has disappeared?

    Hey all. I'm new here and I apologize if this has been asked before.
    All of my music has disappeared off of my iPhone. It's all still there and taking up space, but I can't access it from my iPhone.
    If I go into the settings, and it still shows that the memory space is being taken up but it says I have 0 songs.
    I'm confused and concerned. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.

    ive got a laptop from a friend, she cleared everything off it. ive downloaded itunes and for some reason all her music has appeared in the library. How do i delete her music from the itunes libary so i can add my own music?

    In iTunes, select the music you want to delete (⌘+a to select all) and hit Delete on your keyboard.
    Also delete the music files in Finder. Also make sure you have your own Apple ID and iTunes account and logged in.
