Morning,


No, the music was downloaded from musical cd's to my Lenovo windows computer; then synced to my iPhone. I then transferred those cd's from my iPhone to Apple Music. I had several hundred artists and songs. I inadvertently mistakenly deleted them from music. I thought it was saved on the cloud. So, are they lost forever? Do I have to download them again? Do you think, I can open up music from my Lenovo laptop, reconnect my iPhone to it and try transferring those artists and songs back to Apple Music on my Mac?


Regards,


Thomas.

Imported music can not be copied back to the computer from your iPhone.

You will have to download your music manually again, if those albums are not on your computer anymore.


Any chance you still have a backup of your iPhone from the time before you deleted those albums and playlists?
