iPod Video Tip: Where to Find Lost Music
Published October 10th, 2006 in Technology.
This video (QuickTime video) will show you how to find lost music using iTunes on Windows. If you seem to have missing songs in your collection, it is possible that they didn’t download properly when you purchased them. Do not panic at that point. iTunes has a way to download any songs that didn’t completely download when you bought them.
If you see an exclamation point icon appear next to your songs, this means your songs were accidentally moved or deleted. For songs that are moved, you can try finding them by searching the disk and drag them back. You can enter search phrase such as *.m4p or *.mp4. If you want to re-link them up, double click and click yes to locate the song.
If your iTunes Library file was deleted or corrupted, try dragging your files back into iTunes to rebuild your library. Of course, you will need to drag from your backup CD/DVD or if you are lucky the deleted songs are still in the Recycle Bin.
hi there,i need help i lost my song in mini ipod 281 song when i was on the internet for add music from cd now all gone and i dont saving a music to library but a new song from cd appear,i want my old song back again to ipod but is like gone from computer too,can i find in tunes store? because i was online to buy song from them,thank you for help
Hi,
I don’t quite understand your problem. Do you mean you add songs from your CD collections and they are not gone in your mini ipod? Or you buy all 281 songs from the iTunes store?
In the first case, you can recover them from your CD collection.
In the second case, you can follow the step-by-step guide here (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301749). If you cannot find them by following the guide, I am sorry but to tell you that you have to purchase the songs again. Apple’s policy on replacement clearly states that purchased content can be downloaded only once (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93050).
Hope I have answered your doubt.
