My MacBook Pro HD crashed.  It is all up and runmning except for one issue.  I have about 200 songs on my iPhone but have only gotton 53 back on my laptop from my iPhone and those are the songs I purchased via iTunes. How do I get the rest of the songs from my  iPhone back onto my HD. 
The songs I'm not able to import casme from CD's.  Nothing from napster etc.
I've tried and tried to import them rom iTunes vis "Library"  " Import"

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

    oh the error msg    error= -100000

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    I recently purchased the new nano (7th generation) and I love it except for one issue.  On my old 2nd generation nano, when I played podcasts, it would play podcasts one at a time. So if I had 20 episodes of a podcast on the device, it would stop at the end of each one.
    With the new nano, I can select and play a podcast, but when it’s over, it goes straight to the next one without prompting.  It keeps on playing all of the episodes of any podcast until you stop it manually.  Setting the repeat function differently does not prevent episodes from being played automatically.
    This can be very irritating when I only want to listen to one podcast.  I’ve often fallen asleep listening to one episode of a podcast, only to be woken up hours later by the iPod working its way through all subsequent episodes.  It is also annoying that any podcast which has started automatically in this way is marked as ‘played’ – even if you stop it within a few seconds.  This makes it hard to keep track of what you have actually listened to.
    Is there any way to set the iPod to play all the podcasts individually? I have read the User Guide from cover to cover, and can’t find a way of doing this.

    Dude or hot-spur,
    Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
    Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
    Thank you again

  • I am creating a form, it shows 1 page, but when I save it as a PDF Form there are 2 pages, 1 is blank. How do I get rid of the blank page in the form?

    I am creating a form, it shows 1 page, but when I save it as a PDF Form there are 2 pages, 1 is blank. How do I get rid of the blank page in the form?

    Hi,
    You may open the original form in FormsCentral and toggle to “Page View” at the lower right corner. Adjust the page content to make sure no page breaks in this view.
    Thanks,

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I am trying to print a pdf document from an electronic journal at my school, and i can only get it to print what is on the screen at the time i hit print.  How do i get it to print the whole document?

    how do i get it to print the whole article?  i don't seem to have a problem printing from my old windows laptop

    That suggests there's no problem with Safari or Quartz, the PDF rendering engine used by Safari, Preview, and other Mac applications.
    When I'm in the database and have the article open that I want to print, I click on the "full text in pdf" link and it opens in another safari window.
    Does the PDF in this other Safari window have all the pages? If yes, why don't you print from this window?
    It's very difficult to tell what might be going on if you don't give very specific details.
    For instance, in many reference databases, full-text articles are not free. You have to pay to view them, either article by article, or by subscription. Your school may have such a subscription, but, if it does, you probably need to access the database through the portal, web site, or facility provided by your school (your school's librarian should be able to help you with that). If you don't, the database has no way of knowing you have a right to view the full text, and may give you just a preview or the article's first page.
    Another possibility is that the database provides full-text PDFs in a format not compatible with Quartz, which may be able to render only the first page. But, in such a case, I'd expect Safari to print blank pages. If that's the case, you need to save the PDF on your hard disk and open it with Adobe Reader (Preview wouldn't work).
    There are other possibilities, but these two seem to me the most likely.
    Would I have to save it in preview first
    You should save the PDF on your hard disk from Safari. (I think you should do this anyway, just in case you need to refer to the article again later.) Instead of just clicking the  "'full text in pdf' link", press and hold Control, then click. This should give you a contextual menu; if the link points to a PDF file, you should see the commans "Save Linked File to 'Downloads'" and "Save Linked File As…". Use either, save the file, then, in Finder, double-click on it. Preview should open it.
    It is possible that the link is not to a PDF file, but to a script which fetches that PDF file for you. In that case, it's pointless to download it. Click on it, and then, if the PDF viewing window opens in Safari, move the cursor towards the centre of the bottom of the window. A bar with commands should appear; one of them will download the file to your Downloads folder.

  • The new Pages in Mavericks OS:  How can I get a ruler down the left side?  When I click on "Show Rulers,"  all I get is a ruler at the top.

    In the new Mavericks OS, when I use Pages, I cannot find a way to get a ruler on the left side of the document.  When I click on "Show rulers," all I get is a ruler at the top of the document.  How can I get a ruler on the left side?

    Wait for an Apple update to Pages which is suppose to put the vertical ruler feature back in.

  • My iPhone says storage is low. What do I do? I have a lot of pictures on my iPhone and don't' know how to download to MacBook Pro. Don't want all of them to go to one file .

    I have the iPhone4s and it says my storage is low. Is it because I have too many pictures stored on it? How do move them to my Macbook Pro? If I move them to my new MacBook Pro can they go to one file and then move them into other files?
    How do I do that?

  • HT203167 i downloaded the last rush album clockwork angel with my ipod 5 and didn't received the digital booklet.... how can i get it without rebuying the album??

    How

    Contact the iTunes store support people at expresslane.apple.com (it will be via email), provide them with the date of purchase, the transaction # (from your purchase history), and they will likely regrant the download.  You could also try accessing the purchases tab on your device, and try the download again.

  • HT1766 i have backed up my old iphone as i want to transfer my text messages to my new iphone but it is not backing up my texts and there is no message option to select to back up in settings

    I have backed up my iphone 3gs to i cloud as i want to restore to my iphone 5 the main item i want to keep is my text messages but it has not backed these up i have gone into settings on my iphone 3gs and into manage storage but there is no option to select to backup messages

    Marcus.
    I feel your pain.
    I have experienced the exact thing.  restore from itunes OR iCloud has successfully restored all my settings, EXCEPT EVERY-SINGLE-MSG.  lol.  Nothing.  Even repeated it., no luck .
    It seems to be a hit or miss.
    I've read people from 3GS-i5, 4s-i5, not having the issue....meanwhile, you and I are lucky enough to have experienced it.  Oh and also it's not across the board.  Some people only lost certain SMS which weren't in their contacts...how odd?

  • Wrong Purchase on iTunes how to I get it reversed or stopped?

    This is what happens when I let my 6 year old play games on my iPhone I tought I was dl'ing a new "free" game (and of course he was bugging me while I was distracted)  put in my password and ended up with a charge of almost 100.00 for Dragonvale jewels how do I get them to take this off or recredit my account?

    I would go to expresslane.apple.com and get in contact with iTunes Support to see if they can do something for you.

  • I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. my iPad recognisIes the change of id but on my MacBook Air, iCloud just keeps asking me for a password for the old email address/account. How can I get iCloud to recognise the new details? Help please!

    I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. My iPad recognises the new detail in iTunes and iCloud but when I go into iCloud through my MacBook Air, it requests a password for the old email account which I can no longer use. There is no Option to be able to change this email/ID detail as I cannot get further than the password request. Can anyone help please - this is driving me insane?!

    Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID?   (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • I lost my books purchased through itunes- how do I get them back?

    I lost my books and don't know how to recover them. I paid over 50.00 for them and would like to get them back.

    Hi,
    If you're using OS X Mavericks, the books are not included within iTunes anymore, they are in the iBooks application on the Mac.
    If you're not using Mavericks, go to the iTunes store, click purchased, then find the books section and download them again

  • Playing a rented movie after closing down itunes, how do i get to finish watching the movie?

    if someone can let me know that would be great. i cannot find how to play the movie i rented after closing itunes. Thanks

    The monitor is in extended desktop mode.  That's a logical extension of the desktop located to the right.  Drag iTunes off the right side of your MBair monitor and it will appear on the TV.
    Edit: These settings are in System Preferences > Displays > arrangement tab.    You can also mirror your monitor there as well.
