    i recently just got a new computer. im trying to sync all my music into my itunes but for some reason its not working. it says my computer is not authorized. i have no idea what to do can someone help me?

    If you're using iTunes 11 on Windows, press the Alt and S keys. Otherwise, click on Store at the top of the iTunes application window(Windows) or the top of the computer's screen(Mac OS X).

  • Recently bought  a new computer and all my music appears in iTunes as well as on my computer in a saved folder. When I try to play the music in iTunes I get an error that reads"the song could not be used because the original file could not be found."

    Recently bought  a new computer and all my music appears in iTunes as well as on my computer in a saved folder. When I try to play the music in iTunes I get an error that reads"the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Hope you can help me solve this issue.

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

    Meg81 error 214 indicates a download data validation error.  This means that the update you downloaded became corrupted likely during the download process.  I would recommend utilizing the suggestions listed in Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html to attempt to improve the stability of your Internet connection.
    You can also find information on how to review your download logs which may provide additional information regarding the failure of the download.

  • I just got a new computer and i need to get my itunes on to my new iphone aswell?

    how to retrieve my old itunes.....i just bought a new computer and iphone because both broke?

    If you have a backup made of your iTunes library, you can restore that to your new computer. Post back with information on how the backup was made and someone can give you instructions. If you have no backup, you'll have to hope that the hard drive in your old computer still is working. If it is, you can mount the hard drive in an external case, attach it to your new computer, and copy the iTunes folder from the user folder on the old drive.
    If you have neither a backup nor your old hard drive, then unless you have your content on some other iOS device, you'll probably have to re-import your CDs and repurchase anything you purchased from the iTunes Store other than iPhone app which can be re-downloaded without additional charge.
    Regards.

  • Bought a new computer and I can't get my iphone to backup on it

    So frustrated, can't get my iphone to backup on my new computer.  I activated the computer but still no info coming across.  Any suggestions???

    The sync process for iTunes content is a not a true sync process, and the same for photos transferred from your computer. In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only and photos can be transferred from a single computer. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as documents, photos, etc. Transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link.

  • I have a new computer and I want to transfer my Itunes library

    I am currently running my Itunes library on a Windows XP computer. I just got a new PC Notebook that is running Windows Vista. How do I transfer my complete Itunes library on my old computer to my new computer?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    here's how to back up iTunes and restore it on your new computer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382
    To transfer your ipod data back up manually after authorizing the new iTunes and transfer your purchases as well.
    Disable autosync in itunes, connect your iPod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer. Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

  • I had a lot of music in my itunes library, bought a new computer and now can't find library

    Bought a new laptop and have authorized it, but my itunes library is not showing up.  What can I do to recover?

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your old computer.

  • TS1967 I have just bought a new computer and downloaded latest version of itunes.  It has all installed fine, but when I sync my ipod, it shows all the songs but won't play any of the songs in that library.  Also, I can't add new files.

    I have just bought a new computer and downloaded the latest version of itunes.  It has all installed fine, but when I plug my ipod and sync it, the music library shows all the songs and videos that are on there, but won't let me play them.  Also, I can't add any new songs to the same library.  It saves them elsewhere. I have had the previous version on another computer and it worked just fine.  I have been online trying to find an answer but nothing.  Hope someone can help me. Thanks

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Just bought a new computer and downloaded itunes again and when I log in all my old music is not there.  I created a new playlist but it won't sinq to iphone without erasing all my other songs.

    I just bought a new computer and set it up.  Downloaded itunes again and logged in; however, all of my old content is not there.  I just created a new playlist and want to sinq it to my phone but get a message saying it will delete all of my old songs.  Please help

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
