I have bought quite a lot of music on iTunes, both on the computer, and on the iPhone 4. Now, I have gotten a new PC, and music is lost. Why not make it, so that you can always re-download music? ******* stupid, this other way.....

Seeing that this has become quite a problem, I need to tell you all about this crap.
I have been forced to buy a new PC, due to the old one breaking down. (Finally, had it for 8 years...)
Now, while I have taken a backup of the iTunes Library, including music, apps, movies etc. And put in the new iTunes folder on the NEW PC, somehow, quite a lot of the music, previousley downloaded from iTunes, have gone missing. It was still on my iPhone, but when I plugged it in to synchronize, they got "kicked out" - and are now no-where to be found. I am quite frankly HIGHLY unsatisfied with this issue, and want to know, if there is a way to redownload my music, without involving iTunes Store Support into it. Mostly, because I think they are quite nice people, but with very limited options when it comes to helping each individual in a way, satisfying enough. I have had previous encounters with them, turning out quite... harsh.
Let me know what you think, and if I should write a formal complaint to iTunes Store.
Regards,
Mark.

To have  EVERYTHING on a New Computer...
From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

    You cannot.
    You buy one and only one download of movies.  it is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

    I guess time will come...but I don't see the main point of having two sim cards on a phone at the same time?
    Knowing the phone won't let this go on, Can you take up two calls at the same time? Probably not.

  • HT201304 Can parental controls make it so that you can only text/call certain numbers?

    My daughter is getting an iPhone and I wanted to see if I can put a restriction to her messages and calls so that only certain numbers can call/text her. Any ideas?

    I see what you're trying to point out on this concern you have, However there is no setting on the phone that can do that. See this article for reference. You may consider contacting your carrier to check for further possible options on that. Then again, there is no assurance for it.

  • You can't use Contribute to edit this type of file

    I've updated a few pages from a website, so they're just
    variations of pages that used to work with Contribute. Now I'm
    getting a message--on some of them--that "you can't used Contribute
    to edit this type of file." These are html files with the extension
    htm. They contain tables. They are based on templates. They don't
    seem to have any other distinguishing properties. Exactly what kind
    of files don't work? What might I be doing wrong? I teach this at a
    college & my students are as puzzled as I am.

    Ancient thread, but if anyone else is googling this phrase I thought I might respond with a possible answer.  I encountered the same error but could not find anything wrong with the page in question.  Turned out the page getting the error message was fine! The issue was actually with a simple typo on the page that linked to that page--it was missing the extension (e.g., linking to "page2" instead of "page2.php".  The web server (and Contribute's browser) were pulling up the page even though the extension was missing but Contribute didn't know what kind of file it was so it refused to allow editing.

    First of all, I would have to say that getting in touch with you is a nightmare and I am not at all happy that I can't just email or live chat with someone who can help!  I am not a technical person, I just want to be able to use Photoshop Elements and get on with it. I bought Photoshop Elements via Amazon some months ago and it worked fine.  I then got a message that advised that the trial version would expire, which it subsequently has (I have been trawling your site for weeks and weeks trying to find an email or phone contact to get some assistance).  Relucltantly, I am now typing this - and I suspect it will not help in the slightest!  I bought the FULL not TRIAL edition of Photoshop Elements and I have contacted Amazon who confirmed this, but say I need to contact you.  Can you please let me know how I can resolve this?  Louise A Fraser

  • I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone?  Thanks!

    iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store.  To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

  • Is it possible to stream music to multiple sets of speakers via airplay direct from iphone4s on ios7 in the same way that you can in iTunes

    Is it possible to stream music to multiple sets of speakers via airplay direct from iphone4s on ios7 in the same way that you can in iTunes / Remote?
    I know this can be achieved by the remote app.
    Airplay functionality appears only to support 1 set of speakers at a time?

    Does anyone know how or if it's possible to stream my music from the iPhone to iTunes via bluetooth or wifi? Essentially I want to share the iPhone's library with iTunes (I know one can go the other way).
    Here's why: I'd like to stream my music at work to my computer's speakers without taking the phone out of my pocket. I obviously don't have my home music collection on my company computer. And I figure if I place the phone on my desk to plug it in and play through iTunes, I could easily walk off without the phone. That would be bad (out of contact) and potentially sad (stolen).
    It seems right now the only bluetooth connection to a computer is for the remote application.
    Wait until November. Airplay/Airtunes iOS 4.2 announced for iPhone to iTunes/iTV. If you want a BT audio stream now, you can add a dongle to the PC for headset streaming.
    As far as WiFi file transfer iPhone to iTunes, you can't. There's talks on it but nothing concrete. Except JB.

  • Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
    You'll find it here :
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    where ~ is your Home directory.
    If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
    It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
    A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
    TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".

    You need to either upgrade your computer to Mac OS X 10.6 or download the content directly from Apple's servers instead of your computer; for content not purchased from iTunes, the second option requires signing up for iTunes Match.

    Activation requires a SIM card.
    Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • TS2972 How do you move your music within itunes from your regular library to the homeshares library so that you can import it to your new computer?

    How do you move your music within itunes from your regular library to the homeshares library so that you can import it to your new computer?

    You do not have to move it as such. Here are the steps to setup HomeSharing
    1) Ctrl B to turn on the top menu
    2) File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share enter your apple id and password, click create
    3) repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other computer and create home share using the same apple id and password
    On your new machine if you have turned on the left hand sidebar the Shared Library should be about halfway down like this.
    Select the songs you want and click import at the bottom right. If you want all songs then I would select one song nad Ctrl A to select all
    Finally if you have a lot of songs to transfer Switch off the wifi on the old computer. Leave the wifi on the new one. Connect with an ehternet network cable. The copying speed is way faster.
    Click import and grab a coffee
