What happens to the music?

I am a Windows xp user. If I buy a song or album from itunes and I need a backup in case my ipod 'frys' does apple keep everything I've purchased in my account so that I can just simply download it again without paying twice?
Makes me nervous not having a backup cd.
Thanks;
Dell Dimension Windows XP Pro

No. Apple won't allow additional downloads. You need to back up your music to a CD or an external hard drive or something to be safe.
Cheers!

HT201303 What happened to the music I paid for and downloaded to my Ipod?

I downloaded a new album to my older ipod where I had credit of $29.99 I hasn't downloaded onto the ipod which was connected to mycomputer

If I am coming into a previous thread apologies.
Open iTunes and sign in to the iTunes store with the same credentials that you purchased the music with.
Select the purchased icon or word and iTunes will list all your previous music purchases and allow you to download them again.
If you have not deleted the music it must be on the computer but redownloading may be easier than finding them.

What happens to the music files when I delete iTunes?

OK, I have iTunes and over the years I have moved files about and tried to organize and back up stuff! And now it seems like I have three of each track showing in iTunes. Some of these, when you click on you get an exclamation mark and a file can't be found! Now to go through it one would be labourious and very very time-consuming.
So if I straight up uninstall, and hunt down any reference to iTunes on my PC, what will happen to all my music files? Do they go in the uninstall? Am I best backing them up to another hard drive for safe keeping first? (I'll probably do that any way) Or are they safe where they are until I reinstall iTunes? Will this fix my deadlinks and duplaicate problem?
Many thanks

Uninstalling iTunes will not delete your music files. However, other things will, such as a hard drive failure or physical damage. So yes, you should always have a backup of your valuable music.

What happened to the music in my itunes?

I went to put more music on my ipod touch 4g and the only music that was on it was what i purchased. Last time i used itunes everything was there. ***?

A handful of people report this issue. Not enough for anybody to actual post a complete scenario which might help anybody figure out why, and it is unlikely it is anything Apple could resolve since it clearly isn't happening to all iTunes users. Your best recourse it to always maintain an up-to-date backup of your computer so it is relatively painless restoring your iTunes library.

What happened to the music on my iPod?

I use an FM connection to play my iPod through my cars speakers. When I went to change a song I moved the hold button off. But my iPod was still in lock. I tried everything to get it to unlock but nothing happened. But when I plugged my iPod into the connection to my car the lock icon went off and everything worked fine. When I tried it again later today. My iPod turned on but gave me the X and told me to come here. But the second time I checked to see if it still gave me the message I turned it on and there was no music or videos on it, but worked fine. Even though my iPod is saying that it has 7.3GB's of other on it.
Can someone help me please?
I would hate to plug it into iTunes and lose all of my stuff on it.

If your iPod still has the files on it, but it's not showing them under songs, I think you can do this;
First, Set it to Disk Mode by;
Hold, then un-Hold (the switch at the top). Now hold down the Menu and Select buttons at once. iPod should turn off. When it's turning back on (it does this automatically), hold down Select and Play/Pause. This enters Disk Mode.
Now, Plug In and Delete;
Access the iPod as a hard drive and delete everything there. Make sure you can see the iPod_Control folder - delete that as well.
Finally;
Eject the iPod Drive, and hold down Menu and Select to exit disk mode. Let it reboot, connect to your computer, use iTunes to restore. Then, reload your music onto your iPod using your iTunes library.
Hope this helps!

What happened to the Music Choice Channels?

me too. BOOO Toooo!! And I did read the instructions at the bottom of the screen and nothing works except to turn everything off and then back on to get out of the stingray site.

Hello,
We awoke this morning to find out the our Music Choice Channels were replaced with Sting ray! What's up with that? Also, what the heck is U-verse Elite? When I was check Sting Ray, it told me I need U-verse Elite to continue. I hit okay and it downloaded the channels ... Is this adding cost to U-verse 300 programming? If so, how do I change it?
Thank to all who answer!
Dennis
U-verse Elite is an internet speed program which allows downloads up to 6 mbps. I am not sure what you are referring to when you are talking about downloading channels. I see Stingray right now on television. I assume you are talking about your computer or smart phone. Since I am not a techie, I will let one of the other forum members answer your question.
As far as Stingray, itself, I am find it difficult to navigate. Music Choice was easy. With Stingray, you cannot just change channels in order to watch or listen to it. You have to hit "OK" on your remote when you get to the channel. Even then, it takes a while to actually get the channel while you wait for the circle to stop circling.
Changing music channels is all done with the "OK", the left and right arrow buttons, and the up and down arrows. You sort of have to experiment around to get the hang of it. I still cannot figure out how to get out of Stingray other than turning off U-Verse and then turning it back on. I tried the "Back" button on the remote and the up and down channel button. Neither worked.
It really does not matter to me at this point that Stingray is more complicated than Music Choice. I do not have U-verse for music, I have it for television and internet.
Just press Exit to TV to exit to the 51xx channel, like it says at the bottom as I'm seeing now. You're actually going into the Stingray app when you choose a channel.
You can get the app menu like the app by pressing the Back button, to choose to go to another channel.
Really pretty simple to navigate and they put instructions at the bottom of the screen.

What happened to the Latin Music category?

What happened to the latin stations category? Is there any way to add more stations to radio that include latin and Mexican music stations? Or is iTunes limited to what shows up? Any information on how to re-add this category and how I might be able to add stations (and where to find them) would be awesome!

Anyone?.....Buehler....?

TS2972 I just updated all of our computers to itunes 11 and now when we try to use our home sharing, we can't import songs. What happened to the easily located "import song" feature? I wish now that I wouldn't have updated to the new itunes 11.

I recently updated all of the computers in the house to itunes 11. Now when we try to import songs from homesharing, we are unable to. What happened to the conveniently located "import song" button on the old version of itunes. Please help an old mother out please!

diesel vdub, i use 11.1.1
solved the issue today. first sync with itunes, so all the stiff you bought on the mobile will be backuped.
1. uncheck sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be erased from mobile device
2. check music player on the mobile device. just the unwanted songs will still be there
3. go on the iphone to settings, general, usage, music player. there is just a few mb from the remaining unwanted songs. swipeleft and erase the content. switch iphone off and on again
4. repeat step 2. there will be no data. otherwise repeat step 3
5. check sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be back again but not the unwanted songs.

What happened to the "tuner" app? it's missing from itunes and apps store

What happened to the "tuner" app? I bought it a few days ago, and now it's not available when my friend searches for it. I checked itunes, the iphone apps, and even searched by music catatory rather than by name.
http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/iphone-3g/tuner-app-mia-from-app-store-3223 0.html

http://www.nullriver.com/
When you click on the TUNER link, it launches the itunes store and says this app is not available in the U.S. huh? not fun! I have half a dozen friends that are excited to try it out. I'm glad I got it while I could too. I wonder what triggered the removal?

Changing up what happens at the 'select resource - queued' step

Greetings!
So, I'm curious .. we'd like to change how we do things regarding what happens at the select resource - queued step. Our current state is a series of business checks, place the call on hold, play CUCM MOH, take the call off hold, go back to the queue loop and repeat.
To change things up I'd like to play some royalty-free music as a prompt instead of putting the call on hold. I would use boolean flags to keep track of what prompts have played so callers do not hear the same wav file over and over and over. So, I'm thinking of doing something like this ...
At the queued step ..
play a prompt
begin the queue loop
     business check
     agent check
     play royalty-free (RF) music clip 1 (45 sec)
     play informational prompt 1 (15 sec)
     opt-out check
go back to the queue loop
2nd time through ..
     business check
     agent check
     play RF 2 (45 sec)
     play info 2 (15 sec
     opt-out check
3rd time ...
     business check
     agent check
     play RF 3 (45 sec)
     play info 3 (6 sec)
     opt-out check
4th time ...
     business check
     agent check
     play RF 4 (45 sec)
     play info 4 (6 sec)
     opt-out check
And maybe one more time playing these types of prompts before we switch to placing the call on hold and playing CUCM MOH. Generally, most calls are answered before the five minute mark, however, we do have outliers who wait a very long time. Playing CUCM MOH might be the appropriate thing to do for those rare instances?
I'm curious if anyone else has tried this and am hoping for some feedback?
Thanks!
Keith

Hi
There's nothing wrong with doing it that way. I've seen a few customers play music from prompts rather than holding; it's easier to maintain/change that way.

What happens to my music when I unsubscribe from iTunes Match?

What happens to my music when I unsubscribe from iTunes Match? Can I still access it and iTunes just stops matching new songs I add or is the whole thing not accessible anymore to download or play?

iTunes 7 will convert your existing library, but iTunes 6 and earlier will not recognize the new library format.

What happened to the power search in itunes?

What happened to the power search in itunes?

Why? Indeed, is a very good question. Why take the most useful tool for finding music and bury it (in the case of version 10) or eliminate it (if you upgrade to version 11). I think ignorance is too generous an answer to this question.
Rather, I believe this is a cynical marketing ploy to steer you into buying WHAT THEY SUGGEST, instead of WHAT YOU REALLY WANT. Most vendors would be content to just advertise their suggestions, which you can pass by if you really know what you want. But for I-Tunes to willfully take away your ability to go directly to what you want is a sad insult to the buying public.
Also, they probably feel that power search is too effective in revealing what I-Tunes DOESN'T have available.
By all means, follow the advice given above - provide I-Tunes with the feedback that is sorely due.

What happened to the sidebar in 12 ? Can I get it back

what happened to the sidebar in ITunes 12 ? Can I get it back ?

Go through each of the sources Music, Movies etc. and select Playlists. Use the elipsis ... to enable sources. Apps, Tones, and Internet Radio don't have a Playlists button, the others do and remember your selection. Not exactly the same as the old sidebar, but not too different.
