When I upgraded computers, I lost about 700 songs in iTunes. I am sure they are in a "previous library". Is there a way to retrieve these into my current iTunes?

I upgraded to a new PC and in the process about 700 of my 8,000 iTunes songs disappeared. They were songs ripped from my CD collection, not purchased songs. Would they be located in a "previous iTunes library" from prior to the upgrade, and if so, is there a way for me to retrieve them from the "previous library"?

The Previous iTunes Libraries folder holds copies of the iTunes database file, an index of the media and playlists that make up your library. You need to retrieve the entire iTunes folder from your old computer, or alternatively see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device assuming you have such.
If, in fact, the missing media has been transfered to your new computer, but iTunes has lost touch with it, then see Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

I just got a new pc and tried to move my library from the one pc to another using my ipod. When I did so, I lost about 20 songs recently downloaded. I don't know where the songs are....they were songs that I downloaded using the ipod????

I just tried to transfer my itunes from my old pc to new one. I have music that is downloaded to all three devices...new, old and itouch. I used the itouch to transfer the music, but now the music I downloaded with the itouch wifi disappeared. Help!!!!

Hi there,
It sounds like your purchased content is not transfering via a flash drive. It may be easier to re-download this contnet directly from iTunes. Take a look at the article below for mor information.

I had two backups listed in the information about my icloud account. I thought the newest backup would have everything. Is there any way to retrieve what I deleted? I lost contacts, calendar events, etc.

I, apparently, mistakenly deleted an older backup to iCloud. I thought the newest backup would have everything - the original infor + what had been saved recently. So, I deleted the older backup. Now it seems that contacts and calendar events have been removed from my phone and MacBook. Is there any way to retrieve that?
Thanks.

And actually, no I am not sure that the contacts aren't being restored, but then overwritten by iCloud because it has more recent data. I don't know how to find that out.
Thanks.

I had to deleate Firefox due to a bug and when I reloaded the new version, the new version comes with a blank screen that I need to develop (I am sure you are aware of this). Is there any way I can go back to an older version that downloads ready to use?

I believe the initial question is sufficient

I downloaded and saved Firefox 3.6.16 from this page after version 4 kept freezing!!!

I have an ipad 2 and just upgraded to IOS 8 I have never back up my photos and I lost all of them after upgrade is there a way to retrieve all the photos I lost?

I Have an ipad 2. I have never back up my photos ever since setting it up or ever since I bought it. Wiith all the previous upgrades that I have I never lost any photos and videos taken from the ipad itself. Now I upgraded to the new IOS 8 and all my photos and videos are all gone. Is there a way to retrieve the lost photos and videos?

Did you have I cloud that automatically back up you data to iCloud backup happens when you charge your iPad Have a look in Settings iCloud backup If you do then all your photos will be safe When you have iCloud if you buy a new iPhone / iPad And you use the same Apple ID all your Apps & photos will download to your new Device Cheers Brian

Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open?

Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open? Is this a common issue?

Hi Madhattanite,
Welcome to the Support Communities! When did you purchase your Mac? The first thing I would suggest is to review the information in the resource below for the Up-To-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
Once Yosemite is installed, you should have the option to Accept the Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps in the Mac App Store Purchases pane.
Apple - Up-to-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote
I hope this helps ...

Upgraded computers - how do I remind Logic where the SFX and Instrument files are?

I just upgraded computers - how do I remind Logic where the SFX and Instrument files are located? On my old computer it was set up on an external drive, on this computer it's all internal, but how and where do I create the paths?
Thank you!

thanks Finatarry. when navigating to the "please write your question here" page I went through a Fire fox or thunderbird choise but that does not seem to have been fowarded to you - from what I read above here on the thread. my appologies. an answer I have stumbled upon is at Preferences-Accounts -ServerOptions- does this folder browsed to via the button also keep mthe profiles there?- and thanks again

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

Lost about 500 songs after i-tunes update

I looked through almost all of the posts on this board (I work overnights lots of down time) and I found very helpful advise with getting my girls mini to work with xp pro, mine 2G has worked fine since day one using 2000 pro. But I have not seen this issue yet after I updated i-tune I lost about 500 songs. I found a few that were gone and re converted them and made sure they showed up played them but a day later the ones that I re-converted showed up missing again.
Any ideas

The Lion upgrade does not touch iPhoto. However, you may need to purchase an iPhoto upgrade.
Look in your /Home/Pictures/ folder for the iPhoto Library file.

I have just found out that my Mac doesn't back up to iCloud. So, have enabled Time Machine. I didn't realise I had to setup the backups - thought they were automatic in the iCloud. Thanks for your help

I lost my last import when iPhoto quit. Is there a way to find these pictures?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I've synced my phone, accidentally, to my wife's account and now lost all me photos and data... Is there any way of retrieving it all? The bigger problem is I can remember when my phone was last synced to my account so the info list is not on there either

To see if there are any backups of your device on the computer, go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
Moving the mouse over the listed backups will tell you to which device they belong.
If there is no backup of your phone listed, your data is gone.
In case you also used iCloud to back up your data, check this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
