HT201272 Store thinks it's on my computer but it's not

BIG PROBLEM. I have several missing music purchases. The Apple Store> Purchases>Not on this computer don't show them on the list so it must think they are pn this computer. When I bought this new computer and the Apple store transferred my files they did it such a way that I have been back in 4 times to try and get my photos, music, etc straightened out. A HUGE MESS! I have about 15 purchased music files still missing. Spotlight can't find the music, I can't find the music....and the store still thinks it's somewhere on my computer. The other complication is that I used the music in some family imovies and now the music won't play because it can't find the music. WHAT NOW???? How do I get the store to allow me to re downlaod the missing files?

If you have the 'pointers' to those songs in the Music part of your iTunes library then iTunes assumes that you still have the tracks somewhere (even if the actual music files are not on your computer). Try deleting the 'pointer' to one of them from your library and see if it then shows in the 'not on this computer' section for re-downloading (assuming that it's still in the store).

Yes. It will reset your Home screen layouts.
If the App store is hidden by Restrictions, it will not be enabled by Reset Home screen layout.
You need to re-enable Installing Apps in General > Restrictions.

TS3274 How to change my App Store to another country? I synced my IPad with computer but it did not change the store.

My iPad changed the country on the App Store by accident . How can I change the country on my App Store back to the original store??

Hi Briopp,
If yor are needing to change your iTunes country on your iPad:
Settings>iTunes & App Store> you will see yor Use ID - tap on that. You will see a dropdown and in that dropdown, View Account. Select View Account. There you wll see a section called Counry/Region. Click on that and follow the instructions to select a different country.
Hope this helps!

HT1933 Why is it that I rented a movie from iTunes on my computer but it is not showing in my Apple TV to view

Why is it that I rented a movie from iTunes on my computer but it is not showing in my Apple TV to view

Hello Amy,
You can but the method varies depending on the Apple TV that you have.
From the article How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on your computer found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1390:
To rent movies from the iTunes Store on your computer
In iTunes on your computer, click iTunes Store.
In the iTunes Store, find a movie you want to rent.
Click Rent. Your rental should begin to download immediately.
Once the rental is downloaded, you can watch it on your computer or transfer the rental to a supported iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV (1st generation):
Connect the device and select it in iTunes.
Click the Movies button.
Select the movie, and then click Move.
After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower-right corner of iTunes.
You must be connected to the Internet to transfer a rented movie.
If you have Apple TV 2nd gen. or later you can use Airplay to play it on your tv through the Apple TV.
Here is the article to help get that setup and going.

I have an iMac that I am running OSX 10.8.3 on. I keep trying to install 10.8.4 but it will not install. I tried updating and installing several times and it restarts the computer but it will not install the software. My machine is about 8 months old.

Sometimes the App Store version doesn't work correctly. In this case, install 10.8.4 with the Combo version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The Combo installer is the safest way to update OS X, and it allows you to update more than one computer with a single download

The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
The ipod is not a backup device.
You need to copy everything back using your backup copy.

I take that to mean you never deactivated the 2 old machines. So you're stuck. You need to contact customer care via online Chat.

Application manager show that Acrobat X Pro is installed on my computer but it's not, what is the action to resolve this issue??

Hi Cailloux1973,
I would check to see if the uninstaller is available at
Control Panel > Programs & Features or Add Remove Programs or Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
If you find and uninstaller run it.
If the product is not listed there you might try the Acrobat cleaner tool from here

You don't need a license or a serial number to download Lightroom, which is the problem you state you are having. What is the license you purchased, anyway? Can you give us details?

HT3951 I purchased a movie and it downloaded to my computer but it is not on my ipod and it will not sync manually. It showes upin my purchased list on ipod but not in my videos. HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY

I purchased a movie and it downloaded to my computer but it is not on my Ipod touch. It will not sync manually, I've tried. It shows up on my ipod as purchased but it is not in my videos. When I go to the movie from purchases it says DOW in the corner.HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY

Hello,
If you have an iPod Touch you can watch movies on it.
Did you sync the movie with iTunes between your computer and your iPod ?
Connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the included cable.
Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to set up iPod touch and sync your music, video, photos, and other content.
Your computer must be connected to the Internet.
By default, iTunes automatically syncs all songs and videos in your iTunes library to iPod touch. If you have more content in your library than will fit on iPod touch, iTunes alerts you that it can’t sync your content. You’ll need to use iTunes to select some of your songs, videos, and other content to sync.
