Can only export songs/ringtones to itunes on one user account

I can't for the life of me figure out why it works fine on one user account, and on the other account (there both admin accts), it appears to be exporting to itunes but, nothing ever shows up in itunes or in the itunes music folder. Any ideas on this? I have seen a few other posts with similar problems but have not been able to find a solution. Thanks in advance.

How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program or laptop?

How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program/computer? The songs in question are originals composed by my boyfriend in Garage Band. We have full rights to them, but they import into iTunes like all the other artists songs. His hard drive crashed and I have the only copies. I have no access to my iMac for 2 months while we tour our show and we need them on the tour. We are in dire straights if we can not access these songs and the iPad will not hook up to our equipment. Plus we need to add a track to a promotional video. So how can we access our own music?
Thanks.

If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Can't download song purchased from Itunes from one computer to another using same Apple ID

Hi, I am operating itunes 11 at home, using Mac OS 10.7.5.. I purchased a song at work (also a Mac, I am not sure which version of OSM or itunes). I accessed the purchase of the song in the "Purchased" menu option in itunes on my home Mac. When I tried to download the song at home so I can include it in my Library, I got the following message:
This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days.
So: just to be clear:I can only buy something from itunes from one computer and save to another with the same Apple ID only every 90 days??? And if that is the case, I have not purchased anything from my work computer within 90 days of this recent song purchase. That just does not make sense to me, since the license covers 10 devices anyway, and I am using the same Apple ID.
Let me know if I am not understanding this correctly, or am doing something wrong. It just does make not sense to me that I can't download a purchase I made from one computer to another since I am paying Apple for the music and just accessing it elsewhere, using the same account.
Thanks so much.

Thanks for the response. Yes, my husband logged on to our computer and rented a movie for us to view. That is how we use Itunes: I purchase the music, he may purchase a movie or a rental now and then. This is new, it never happend before.
Also, I contacted customer support, both by phone and email. Not only does someone else using the home computer under a different account trigger this, but so does simply activating my own user id from a different computer (one of the 5 I am allowed to under the service agreement.)
Customer support was very helpful and lifted the 90 day ban. I called them because I purchased a season pass of a TV show and could not download the first episode because it was a "past purchase" (the episode was not even available to download when I purchased the pass, so “past” is indeed relevant.)
But I don't see the point of purchasing content from Apple now. This feature limits the accessibility of legal purchases under the service agreement. Why allow 5 computers per Apple ID if activating one of them limits the ability to download content for 90 days??
I (used to) buy movies, rentals and TV shows all the time. I don’t have cable, so Apple was the source for all “must have” shows that I couldn’t wait for. Too bad.

How can I export songs from my ITunes library to a different MP3 player?

How can I transfer the mailboxes from more than one user account to Thunderbird?

I've recently transferred my email to Thunderbird, having previously used Outlook Express (which I still have installed, but don't use). On OE I had two user identities, each with its own set of mailboxes, sub-mailboxes and address book. Thunderbird has copied across both identities, creating a new set of mailboxes for each, and has also copied both address books (and amalgamated them), but has only copied one of the old sets of mailboxes. Is there a way I can get it to copy the others? I noticed some reference to a limit on the number of messages - I did have rather a lot in the OE account from which it hasn't copied the messages! Could that be the problem?

have you heard about Thunderbird profiles? A profile change requires a restart unlike OE and it's change of identities. But multiple profiles is basically functionally identical to the OE identify. Two completely separate set of accounts and address books. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager
There is also an add-on https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/index-en.html#profname which make a menu entry to allow you to set te profile to be opened next time Thunderbird starts.
I am guessing crashing into the already existing outlook import folder made the mail an issue. So if you rename the outlook express import folder to something else the import may well go as planned.

After upgrading to IOS 7, I can only transfer songs to my iPhone 5 that I bought on iTunes. Cannot xfer songs I burned from CD.

After upgrading to IOS 7, I can only transfer songs to my iPhone 5 that I bought on iTunes. I cannot transfer songs I burned from CD. When I drag them to my phone in iTunes, my phone appears to be updating, but the songs don't show up there.
I'm using IOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. WIndows 7.
Thanks.

This has worked for many folks according to the feedback I have gotten:
Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

I just moved my Itunes content to a computer with Win 7. I can only get "songs" in list view. How do I correct this so I can see Artist and Genre also in list view. The box to show all list in list view is checked but it only shows album view

I just moved all my itunes content to a windows 7 computer. I can only get "songs" in list view. Genre and Artist show as Album views. The box in preferences is checked so that all lists should show as list. How can I get a list view for Artists and Genre also?

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

TS1717 I can only preview songs 10 seconds in the itunes store

Here we go again. Another annoying iTunes problem that pops up unexpectedly and probably can't be fixed until the next upgrade...
Song previews in the iTunes store stop after 5-10 seconds. I know this is a discussed problem but I can't find that thread. Note: The same songs, when purchased and downloaded plays OK from the library. The problem is with all previews. Instead of 1 minute or 90 seconds, I get only 5-10 seconds.
None of the suggested solutions work:
1) using the command prompt to flush the dsn cache,
2) just try to play the preview several times,
3) start and run itunes in safe mode.
The problem began a few weeks ago and it persists in one account on one computer. (Win 7 Pro). It works properly in the same account on my other computer (Win XP Pro). I'm running the latest Version of iTunes - I checked for updates. (10.X.X).
Please don't suggest I uninstall and reinstall everything. Anybody can suggest that (and Apple usually does). That is not really a solution, but it's what I have had to do every time I have run into a problem with iTunes.
Thanks, hope you can help

Are those songs in the iTunes library on the computer the device is normally synced with? If so, sync them to the device.

HT1420 My songs that I purchased on my itunes account from my dad's computer will not play on my new computer, I have access to my entire account but can only play songs purchased using my new computer. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Kevin,
Have you authorized the Computer to your Apple ID?
If not, sign on to iTunes.
Then got to the Store menu option at the top of the screen (CTL+B if it is not showing), and click on it to display the dropdown, and select Authorize this computer.
If that doesn't work, then sign on your Dad's iTunes ID and repeat the Authorization process.
Cheers,

Export songs in an iTunes playlist

I would like to burn MP3 CDs to listen in my car. The songs that I like to listen are mostly in the playlists in my iTunes library, in which all my songs are in AIFF format. I can certainly convert the format of the songs to MP3, then how do I organize those converted MP3 songs with artist-alburm-title and, when reached around 700MB, burn into a CD? After conversion in iTunes, the MP3 songs are scattered in various folders, and manually find all of them is very inconvenient.
Alternatively, is there a way to export all the songs in a playlist to another place in my hard disk (out of iTunes folder), while preserve the ID3 tag in each song? Then I can use MAX to convert them to MP3.
Thanks much for your time.

Good idea! However what I would like to achieve is to organize the MP3 songs in an artist-alburm-title folder structure so that when I listen in my car, I can easily navigate through the hundreds of songs on the 700MB CD. The little software iTunesExport does a nice job to extract songs from my iTunes playlist and export to another place in my hard drive and "retain iTunes structure", i.e. preserve the artist-alburm-title folder structure of those songs. Then I use Max to convert those songs (still in AIFF format) to MP3. Max also preserve the folder structure. It's a two step solution. I wish I could find a way to do this in one step - export songs in my iTunes playlist as MP3 to another place in my hard drive (or CD directly) while preserving the artist-alburm-title folder structure.

Restoring from backup will result in the iPod being like it was when the backup was made. If you restore via iTunes, you have to have all the synced media in your iTunes library since those are not included in the iPod backup.

I only have one iTunes account. The other day I made the mistake of downloading purchased songs and movies logged on another user account (Administrator) on the same computer. How do I consolidate all my purchases in my preferred user account?

copy the songs that you downloaded as admin and put it somewhere you can access it from you're preferred account (usb stick / cd / shared folder / external hard drive) log into with you preferred user account and drag and drop the files on top of the itunes icon and they will be imported.
if you have a second computer you could use home sharing to move the music from admin itunes to the second computer and from the second computer to the preferred itununes
ps you can only connect 5 computers to you're itunes account so don't forget to de-autorise when you no-longer wand it.
