Upgraded and now have lost songs

I upgraded my intunes and now only the purchased songs show up. All the songs I imported from cds show as lost links and I cannot locate them. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

The same thing just happened to me. The computer restarts and I'm given the option of chosing "previous Itunes Library" so I clicked on one and now all my 577 songs are gone and I have just the ones I purchased. It synched my Iphone none of my CDs that I imported are there.

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

    Hi All,
    I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back? Any ideas?

    All of  your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
    If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again.

    There is nothing in the contact app and the backup seems to have disappeared, too.

  • Updated i tunes, and now have lost soem purchased music

    Hi,
    I have just updated i tunes and have lost some purchased music.  If i go into Itunes store and find one of the missing songs it states "Purchased", there is no option to download again.  I can't even buy it again as it states "Purchased".
    I have tried following the tutorial for lost music, and had no joy.
    In the prior version of itunes the missing songs were in my music library. 
    I have tried everything i know, this is my final option, since i have tried to find a number to call to speak to a real person but to no avail.  if no one can help get teh musci back can they provide a number for me to speak to someone at Apple?
    Thanks

    All you can get back is your iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    You will have to rerip the CDs unless you can find a copy.
    When you restore or update an iPod, if synced media is not in the iTunes library it will not be on the iPod after the restore/update since the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • I activated secure virtual memory on snow leopard and now have lost everything

    Hi, wow I could use some help. I was curious and activated "secure virtual memory" in the security settings on my iMac 2.16 Ghz Intel core 2 duo and restarted. Now I can't access any of my files and the "users" folder won't open saying I don't have sufficient privileges even though I am not prompted for the administrator's password.  Every account seems to have reverted back to basic settings. When I try to open the finder I get a message saying:
    "The home folder for user "-------" isn't located in the usual place or can't be accessed. The home folder or Users folder may have been moved or deleted. If the home folder is located on the network, the server may be temporarily unavailable. If you continue to have problems, see your system administrator."
    I have backups on an external hard drive with time machine. How can I restore my computer?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    It appears I have resolved the issue on my own. I was able to change the permissions of the "Users" folder by right clicking and choosing "get info". I then was able to access the folder and saw that all of my information was still there. Whew!! And now that I've shut down and rebooted my desktop appears to be back to normal. I did hit the ? for information about the "secure virtual memory" option in security settings BEFORE I selected it and restarted, but the information about it was totally lacking so unfortunately this leads one to explore...

  • Installed latest flash player and now have lost audio

    I finally updated to the lates flash player - version 10.2.153.1 and now when I play a file from the Investors website I get video but no audio.

    I was able to go to the ESPN site and play a video stream there and the audio was ok.
    My Zune music mp3 files play ok
    I don't know where to go to begin troubleshooting this problem.
    This was working prior to the upgrade. I am on XP with sp3 using IE 8

  • Updated and back uped phone last night and now have lost all photos and aps.  What happened

    backed up phone last night and lost all aps, contacts, and photos.  What happened

    The phone was not restored from the backup.
    Frankly, unless the user actually copies the pictures off the device to the computer, there is no guarantee they will return.  They should return when restored from backup, but it's not a risk that most intelligent people are willing to take if the photos are considered valuable.
    Apps may not be syncing due to the "Sync Apps" option being deselected.

  • Had a problem with the last firmware upgrade and now have a delayed startup

    I made the mistake of doing the firmware flash while the MBP was docked. I don't thing it was successful although it shows the right number. My startup time is about two minutes which is unusual as it used to be super fast (using an SSD). Any ideas?
