  • Switched computers due to a crash. I authorised the new one. It won't let me play songs in my library that were purchased from I-tunes

    Switched computers due to a crash. I authorised the new one. It won't let me play songs in my library that were purchased from I-tunes. Please help.

    All content that you download from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, and it can't be transferred to or merged with another account - so you will need to authorise that old account on that computer if you want to use its content.
    If you still have access to the email accoun then you can try getting the password reset via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password
    If you don't have access to the email account then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help you get access to the account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. The iPod sees the rebuilt computer as a new iTunes library. To make this computer the syncing computer
    - Transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

    If it is not a drive problem, maybe it is a runaway application. This article shows how to use Activity Monitor to check for that:

    No, just a reminder that you should do so beforehand, which you have already done.

  • Cant Install Itunes -- Error says Quicktime has a Newer Version already installed?  Whats up with that? I can only install Itunes as a Bundle with Quicktime--

    I am running WINDOWS 7
    I have read up on this error-- Nothing is working.. Now I have No Itunes,
    I tried to UNINSTAL Quicktime- it wont let me from (Add/Remove) Programs-- Says there are some POLICIES in place that wont allow
    me to *Install (Hello) Im Uninstalling-- And I am the Administrator--   
    I found the DELL Installed (Hidden) Administrator and tried to do it while logged in as it-- NO WAY- same error
    So, I deleted the (2) (QTS) files in  syswow64?  Windows system folder for WIN7 64 bit
    Rebooted

    Besides.. I now dont have a good VER of Quicktime on board either-- without those QTS files--
    Im really messed up--
    Can someone help!

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • HT1414 my apps are gone from the itunes store, whats up with that?

    will I have to purchase the ones I still want on my phone.  At least one of them was currupt since my battery was draining 10X the normal rate.  when I went to get my apps and choose the ones to put back on my phone they were not in my apple account.  My ringtones are gone also.
    does anyone know what apps drain the battery fast.  I really dont play any games.

    There is two ways you can do this with iOS 5,
    1. tap on App store icon, then purchased on the bottom menu, and download direct from iCloud.
    2. connect your iPad to computer and open iTunes if not already open. Select your iPad in the left
    column then choose the Apps tab and check each App you want on the iPad. If your iPad is connected to a power source and you use iTunes WiFi sync on the same WiFi, you can download Apps from iTunes without connecting your Ipad to the computer.

  • After installing the latest itunes update most of my music cannot be located. A box pops up and says the song cannot be found. What can I do?

    I installed the latest itunes update and now I can't play most of my songs. A box pops up that says it cannot be located and asks me if I want to locate it and when I click on Yes it gives me all my files on the computer (dropdown box) and I don't know how to find them. Some of my songs will still play.

    The "missing file" thing 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 say no when asked 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. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. 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.

    Having the same issue.. All of playlists were deleted as well as the majority of my music can't be located. It seems the only music that can be located is the music I have purchased directly through itunes/iphone.
    The location where itunes thinks my music file is:
    "file://localhost/C:/Users/MY NAME/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/"
    The actual location where my music file is:
    "C:/Users/MY NAME/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/"
    This is weird because I have not moved my music and it was working fine before I upgraded to the new iTunes...
    My steps:
    1) update itunes to latest version
    2) plug in old phone take backup in itunes
    3) plug in new phone and restore from that backup
    I didn't notice the issue until I looked on my phone and all of music was missing from my phone along with playlists (minus the music I purchased directly from iphone/itunes.
    Then I looked in itunes in my music library and saw itunes can't locate my music files.  I also tried replacing the previous itunes library file as noted in the support link above but didn't do anything..
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

  • My children both have a ipod touch,  we just recently added a itunes card, and now when we go to purchase a app a screen pops up and says "security info"  but only has the option to click "submit" or recovery email address, which i do but no luck??

    everything was working fine until we added a new itunes card,  also, we are able to watch youtube, internet,  but just not able to download anything from the app store due to this "security info" page..  someone please help my children want to use their new itunes cards.. thank's

    Honesty just send it to Apple or take it into a Apple store, it may seem like a pain but its worth it plus you wouldnt want to damage it farther.

  • COPYING CDS NOT PURCHASED FROM I-TUNES

    when trying to burn a cd from i-tune the box that said purchased from i-tune would not unclick.does this mean i can not burn a cd or anything that is not bought from apple?

    Your post is somewhat vague as to what's going on. Are you trying to burn strictly purchased content to CD? What settings are you using to burn? Have you made a playlist of the songs you wish to burn? I'm frankly not sure what you mean by "the box that said purchased from iTune would not unclick".

  • I create a playlist with songs that I purchased from itunes and when I try to sync it to my iphone some of the songs are missing but when I go to the playlist in itunes the song is there.  What could be happening?  What am I doing wrong?

    I've created playlists with songs I've purchased from iTunes and also added songs I've purchased from iTunes to existing playlists.  Everytime I go to sync the playlist to my iPhone I find some of the new songs missing from the playlist.  I've deleted the playlist from the phone and reinstalled it.  I don't know what I"m doing wrong. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?

    Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
    Here's that thread...
