Updated my itunes software and lost 1000 tunes. unable to recover. Could they be in the cloud. not subscribed

After downloading the latest apple software update I discovered I had lost almost 1000 tunes off my ipod touch. when I turned on my computer and loaded itunes the cloud symbol was showing and when it was scrolled it stated I had items to download? I have not knowingly subscribed to the cloud and therefore cannot access it. If that is where my tunes are, then how do I retrieve them?

Redownload past purchased from "iTunes in the Cloud" does not use or require a personal iCloud account. This article explains how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

I updated my iTunes Software and now I cant burn CD's anymore.

I need help. I updated my iTunes Software and now I get this:
"The Registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes"
Disc Burner: No Disc Recording software found.
I just reinstalled iTunes when they changed the entire format about a month ago. And I have had Nero for my burning CDs/DVDs for years.

Solving MSVCR80 issue and Windows iTunes install issues.
If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
You may be required to boot into safe mode to complete the folder deletion process.

Try here > iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
iCloud doesn't support movies...
iCloud backs up your:
Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
Photos and video in the Camera Roll
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
From here > Apple - iCloud - Store and back up your content in iCloud.

Updated iphone 3g software and LOST ALL CONTACTS!

PLEASE HELP! I updated my iphone 3g to the latest software the other day and in return got a clean iphone.... no contacts, no notes, no nothing!
I think I read everything posted here, and I already tried:
1. importing from sim - got nothing.
2. restoring iphone, then re-synching from backup - got nothing.
I don't even seem to have the location of the backup files on my desktop hp - is that even possible?
Please help - totally lost without my 300+ contacts.... Thank you!!

Yea I guess that now. It would be nice to have known this prior to doing an update. Apple's self help guides do quote that the contact information is contained within a backup:
Backed-up information includes purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books*; photos and video in the Camera Roll; device settings (for example, Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts); app data; Home screen and app organization; Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS), ringtones, and more. Media files synced from your computer aren’t backed up, but can be restored by syncing with iTunes.""
It also seems crazy that the backup would store recent calls i.e. the numbers but not the names they are linked too. Oh well I hope Apple either edit the above clause or make an easier way of backing up contacts to itunes. I don't want the numbers on my phone to be merged on my email program!

Updated to Itunes 10 and lost all of my playlists

Can someone tell me how to get my playlists back? I updated a few days ago to Itunes 10 and have lost all of my playlists etc. Is it possible to dump my IPOD library into Itunes?

Hi,
I had the same problem and indeed in the appliactions I found imovie 9.0.9.
But to make sure all goes well this time, please let me know the next steps.
I opened the imovie 9.0.9. (1.2GB) and the previous imove appeared. In the updated version, I can now import
imovie 9.0.0 zip archive (7.9 MB2).
Is this the solution ? And do I have to take further steps to amke sure everything is working ?
Thanks for coming back to me.

New windows 7 pc,have updated my itunes to newest version. All purchases are on screen as being on the cloud but when I download the files, they stay in place until I shut the computer down. on restart, they 'cannot be located' any ideas?

This is really annoying me. I have a new pc. running windows 7. All my media is showing as 'on the cloud'. I don't always have access to internet so I want the files on my pc. when I download from the cloud the songs play but seem to dissappear when I restart the pc. says file cannot be located and the file dissappears from my flashdrive I have it stored on. What am I doing that's wrong??

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

I just got iTunes Match and I would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data?

I just got iTunes Match and would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data if I am not able to use wifi?

Hi,
Yes, it will use cellular data. If you know that you are going to out of wifi range, you can predownload some music whilst you have a wifi connection.

If you did an update for your software and decided that you want to recover your deleted pics that were taken on your last software are you going find them

Can I delete my trashed photos once and for all so that it will never be recovered and if I did a software update is that going to help or not

Good Morning Barbara,
I do apologise to members of this forum for my display of bad temper, it was generated by a series of problems with my system and this one from Adobe just took the biscuit and I thought I had finally reached Adobe. My fingers are poised over the phone this morning awaiting the start of the working day.
One thing that I cannot explain is that this series of trial programs, not clear in the updater, from Adobe is that it seems to have damaged my copy of Elements 10. I cannot put text onto pictures. I have tried uninstalling and reinstaling Elements 10 to no avail. Anyway we will see what they say.
Regards
Pat

I downloaded i tunes onto my new computer, i connected my iphone during the updating process itunes failed and i lost all my purchased music from my iphone. I would like to get it reinstated how ?

I downloaded itunes onto my new computer, i connected my iphone during the updating process itunes failed and i lost all my purchased music from my iphone and can no longer retrieve them. I would like to know how i can reinstate the lost music please.

When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing!

Updated 2.2 Iphone Software and lost all contact information! HELP!!

I have the old 8G Iphone and updated the new 2.2 Iphone software and lost all my contact information,video, pics,etc. I tried to hit restore and it did not bring anything back. Does Itunes save info as a back up? HELP!!
Anthony

In regards to contact info, the iPhone is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer.
With XP, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with the address book used by Outlook Express, which I believe is named Windows Contacts.
Photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer, as with any other digital camera.
Music and video transferred to your iPhone should remain in your iTunes library on your computer, and the same for photos that were transferred to your iPhone from your computer.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup of your iPhone, which is updated if needed as the very first step during the sync process - if any of the data included with your iPhone's backup has changed since the last sync.
The backup stores data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, SMS messages, notes created with the Notes application, recent calls, call favorites, contact info, and photos that were captured by your iPhone, but it isn't a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup only for the last two. As already provided, contact info is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer, and photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer - as with any other digital camera.
You updated to 2.2 from which firmware version, and did you sync your iPhone with iTunes immediately before installing firmware update 2.2 to update your iPhone's backup if needed?
You can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. This will completely erase your iPhone followed by re-installing the current firmware version, which is 2.2. After 2.2 is re-installed, you will be prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. After your iPhone is restored from your iPhone's backup, this must be followed by a sync with iTunes to re-transfer your selected iTunes content from your computer to your iPhone along with any photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
If your contact information and photos that were captured by your iPhone are not restored from your iPhone's backup and you didn't sync contact information with a supported application on your computer and you didn't import the photos that were captured by your iPhone, this data will be lost.

I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.

Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

I updated my iPhone software and now it is saying that I need to connect it to iTunes. I no longer have my computer with my iTunes on it. What can I do? I really don't want to lose my data! I wouldn't have updated if I had known but there was no warning.

Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Error 50: This error (and error -50) are timeout errors. Follow the steps for errors 13 or 14 above.

I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod

I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod, neither of which is what I want to do. How do I get it to shuffle songs in just one playlist?

The shuffle setting in the main menu will shuffle through the entire library as you have found out.
You need to go to settings>shuffle this will toggle through off/song/album. Once you have set this it will stay the same until you change the setting.
Now when you start playing a song in a playlist the iPod will shuffle through that playlist (or if you select your song through artist then it will shuffle through all the songs for that artist etc)

I've updated all my software and iTunes on my Macbook Pro but when I went to open iTunes it tells me it's either corrupted or not installed correctly and to reinstall it. Is there anyway to fix it without reinstalling the whole program?
