Losing many songs which have been downloaded from a CD or through I tunes. These songs now no longer show up on my phone (but did at one time) and do show up on my computer but the Computer cannot play the songs or now locate them

I have an I Phone 3GS. It has sufficient memory for all of my I Tunes Library. I am now losing songs on my I phone which previously were either downloaded to I tunes or puchased from I tunes. The were there and were playable.
I checked my computer and these songs still show up but I can no longer access them.
Please let me know how I can locate these tunes and restore them to both my computer and also my phone.

Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

Any way to create a smart playlist on iOS of songs that have been downloaded from the cloud?

Of my 72gb library it's hard to remember what has been downloaded from the cloud to my iPhone. It would be great if there was a way to have my tracks be dumped into some sort of playlist to easily access what has been downloaded. Anyone know of way to do this? Or recommendations on an easier way to keep track of downloaded tracks?

These all work fine on my mac but again, I was wanting the smart playlist on my iphone. I could download songs from the cloud on my mac (which wouldnt make sense anyways since it's where my entire library is) but this defeats the whole purpose of accessing my music through my phone and icloud and not having to sync or make playlists on my mac.
Let me ask you guys this, every time you want to listen to something on your iOS device, do you wait for it download? Do you remember everyhting you've downloaded and only listen to those tracks? What's your method for listening to music on your device?
Really dissapointed in Match....it's basically a back up service.

TS4124 I have a problem that when I sync my ipod with I tunes it only syncs the songs that have been downloaded from the cloud.

I have 9000 songs in the cloud and have not downloaded all of them
My ipod does not sync the songs that have not been downloaded.
Do i have to download all the playlists individually?

Here's how iTunes works. You add a file to iTunes. iTunes makes a note of where that file is located, gets information from it about artist, etc, and writes the information to its library file. iTunes doesn't look at that file again until you play it. It knows where to find it when it needs it. However, sometimes things happen so the file is no longer where iTunes expects it to be. In many cases this is because the user has renamed a file or folder in the file's pathway, or moved the file. In extreme cases it can happen because a hard drive is dying.
When iTunes invites you to find the file, it is asking you to do exactly that. If you renamed the file you need to remember what you called it and where you put it and point to it to rebuild the link. Sometimes if people move all their files to different drive you need to point to one and iTunes may be able to find others given that information and assumptions as to where the others should be located relative to that.
It is also possible files have gone missing. In that case you need to restore them from their original source or a backup you make regularly of your computer knowing that some day it is 100% guaranteed your drive will fail and you will be very happy you have a copy of everything on another drive.

HT4914 Will iTunes match match songs that have been downloaded using a different audible account?

Will iTunes match match songs that have been downloaded using a different audible account?

Hey there Chriskir,
It sounds like you would like to delete all the songs from your iPad but still be able to access them in iTunes Match. You can delete all the songs from the Music section of your Usage in Settings by swiping your music left:

Does Microsoft support disks which have been converted from MBR to GPT with third-party tools?

Before opening a ticket with Microsoft to get the official response, does Microsoft support disks which have been converted from MBR to GPT with third-party tools?
We have various disks on Windows Server 2008 R2 fileserver cluster that are all MBR with various mount points added to overcome the 2TB limitation on MBR disks. Due to the time involved in physically moving the 30Tb+ of data to GPT disks, I would
like to investigate the option of a lossless conversion tool. Does anybody have any experience of these in production environments that could comment?
Any advice and details of experiences would be really appreciated!
CRM Advisor

Hi,
Besed on my research, Microsoft supports a fileserver cluster if the disks have been converted from MBR to GPT using a third-party tool.
For more detailed information, please refer to the links below:

HT1766 all my contacts have been deleted from an update. how can i get these restored?

all my contacts have been deleted from an update. how can i get these restored?

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. Your contacts will be in whatever program ( outlook, address book, etc) that you have been synxing. Sync them back.
If you have failed to sync them, then they are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup.

If i buy an iphone 5s sprint can i use it for CDMA? I ask that because i went out of the country one time and used it on a CDMA network but that was my iphon 5 not an i phone 5s.

Sprint is a CDMA carrier, same as Verizon so it will work on CDMA.

How do i copy synced photos on ipad which have been deleted from the synced computer to a new computer?

I can't get my synced photos from my ipad onto my new computer.. The only photos i can acces from my computer are the ones which have been captured by the ipad. The harddrive on my old computer is not working anymore, and i can't get the photos from there. Please help, i need to get those photos onto my new computer.

To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

Upgrade to iOS7.1 has broken Music. . .can't play songs in the cloud and songs that have been downloaded won't play either.

I've discovered an interesting "feature" of iOS7.1 for the iPad (4th gen).
Since upgrading, I can no longer play music that is in the cloud and when trying to switch to a song that has been downloaded to the device, it won't play either; however, the equilizer graphic indicates that something is playing (bouncing up and down) but the song position indicator stays at 0:00.
Eventually, iTunes/Music (not sure what to call it these days since Apple can't seem to decide either) gives up on the song selected, the on that is not playing, and moves to the next song. If the next song is local to the device, music plays, if it's another song in the cloud, the pattern repeats until it hits a downloaded song. Have also discovered, after my various and simple testing efforts, that I can no longer download songs from the cloud - I was able to download one song but afer that. . .kaput.
It takes a special level of brilliance to send out an update that breaks your own applications/code. . .particularly one so core to the device.
Two words for future releases. . ."Quality Assurance".

I had a similar problem. Try resetting and erasing the phone and restoring from a known good backup.

Why would you be surprised? You were syncing your Notes with iCloud or a Mail Account. Synchronization means when you make a change on one device, it affects all other devices that are synched for the same purpose. Like when you delete an email (usually) it also disappears from your other devices as well.

Why is QT not playing my movies which have been exported from FCPX?

Nov 11, 2012 1:07 AM Hello there. I have posted this post in Mac intel forums but have been redirected to post this post in FCPX forums and hence I am posting this thread here. Hope I will be given the proper answer to my problem/s which seem to be growing day after day.
I hope this is the right forum to place this post.
I have been facing this problem for the past 2 days only and I remember it all started after I had exported my latest project in FCPX. The exported file would not open up in quicktime player, and I started getting this notice even with other movies which were exported earlier and were being played by QT with no problem.
The screenshot given above came with with a movie I had exported about 2 months ago. At that time QT had no problem in playing it. But now, Why is it not able to play the same?
FYI, the latest project I had exported was started in fcpx 10-0-5 version and I had upgraded to the latest 10-0-6 version while the project was yet unfinished.
Apart from this problem, a number of other problems also have simulataneously raised their heads: FCPX is not opening up: stating that there is a corrupt data base which has to either restored or moved. And, when I try to move or delete the corrupt files via finder, I am not being allowed to delete them...error code -50 being the 'culprit'.
I am growing faint with all these malfunctioning and am in a perplexity of what to do next!
Any helps or guidance will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks. Take care.

Hello, hello, hello to one and all! Both the goose and Karsten's horse have been resurrected. HO HO HO am I on the top of the world. I feel that in asingle moment I have been transferred from the depths of the Dead sea to the top of Mount Everest!
What seemed to have worked is this:
I selected one QT movie which was not being opened and subjected it to PMan which did a rebuild and created an new repaired movie. I played it on QT and to my pleasant surprise it opened and I could watch the movie. There was one movie which was not being played in QT. I attempted to repair the same with Pman, but received a notice that it could'nt. It was not an important one and so I deleted the same. I tried playing other movies and found out that QT was playing the other exported movies which it was not opening earlier. Next, before opening FCPX I first opened the final cut events and deleted, or rather, was able to delete one particular event which I had been suspecting to be the cause of all these malfunctions: it was a still image captured on my daughter's Galaxy and she had sent the same to me via email a few days ago. I had imported the pic. into an event. When FCPX began its refusal to start misbehavior, it blamed this pic as one of the corrupt files which had to be restored or moved. Deleting this pic resulted in the resurrection of my works and I am taking no more chances in this matter. Right now I am in the process of duplicating completed projects on my scratch drive and archiving them in a different drive. I am duplicating them only with the used clips. Guess if any further clips are needed while rediting the work later, I could always import fresh clips into the event.
Thanks to all of you who have been helping me out in this thread. Any guidance as to how to avoit getting into this unpleasant situation will be received with attentive ears.

How can i print only pages which have been highlighted, from a multi page file?

How can i print only pages which have been highlighted, in a multi page file.

Ah, I see want you mean. This might not be practical for you, but if you select one instance of the highlighted text and add a [space] to the little sticky note, all of the highlighted text on that page will appear in the summary.

When I try syncing to my Ipod nano, it will only let me sync songs that have been downloaded onto my computer (not my icloud music). How do I fix this?

This is really annoying. When I try syncing, it shows the four songs that have actually been truly downloaded on my computer, and it wont let me change it. What does I do?

iDevices are not backup devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

Losing many songs which have been downloaded from a CD or through I tunes. These songs now no longer show up on my phone (but did at one time) and do show up on my computer but the Computer cannot play the songs or now locate them
