After purchasing my macbook, i am missing content from my iTunes

i purchased my macbook air switching from a pc and when i pulled up my itunes, i am missing all my videos and some music. how do i retrieve the missing content?

Hey jennyk67,
Thanks for the question. Did you transfer the iTunes Library from your previous computer over to the Mac? If not, the following resource should help you through that process:

I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts. All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window". But what if you have no device window?

Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
I thought the libraries were the same.

Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!

Why does iTunes SUCK??
1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
Please tell me I am not the only one!!
...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
Very appreciated,
Joe

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and transferred data from my MacBook via Ethernet cable. I did not consolidate my accounts and kept using my MacBook. Can I update the data transfer now using Ethernet and can I consolidate my accounts?

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and transferred data from my MacBook using Migration Assistant via Ethernet cable. I was confused about consolidating my accounts, so I continued to use my old MacBook. Can I now update the data transfer using the same process and begin using my new MacBook Pro exclusively? How do I consolidate my existing accounts?
Thank you.

Of course. It does everything it did before Yosemite. You just won't be able to send or receive SMS messages with it.

What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (on these forum we won't know why the message is appearing) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem ... ?

My iMac is authorised to play iTunes content, but my Apple TV keeps asking for me to authorise. I am unable to view content from my iTunes Library. How can I convince my Apple TV that I am authorised?

I am not exactly sure what you mean by "authorised", but I am experiencing a similar problem...or the same, in that Apple TV keeps telling me to enable home sharing in my MacBook Pro. It does not seem to recognize that home sharing is already enabled on my Laptop.
Is home sharing and "authorised" one in the same? It used to work just fine before these recent Apple TV updates.

Ability to buy unique local content from other iTunes stores

Hi,
I recently realized that iTunes store that looked modern and incredible only few years ago now does not serve my needs.
Let me explain in details and may be this information can help Apple to improve their store and meet my needs.
I am 44 years old.
I was born in Moscow Russia back in 1969. My childhood and my youth years were in Soviet Union and in Russia.
After graduating from university my first job was in Singapore. I lived in Singapore with my family for 12 years. My two daughters were born there.
Right now my family and I are residents of Canada.
As you can see, there are few significant portions of our lives bonded to different cultures.
I believe we are not unique. The World is small. People goes to school in one country, goes to university in another, works and getting married in third and settles down and retires in fourth…
iTunes store provides great possibility for us to download music, songs, movies… but only from the iTunes store of the country we live.
Apple dictates what we can or can not listen and watch using iTunes by its unfair policy:
REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF THE ITUNES SERVICE
*The iTunes Service is available to you only in Canada, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.*
I could understand why Apple does this. Because the same HD movies can be sold for $20 in one country and for $10 in another and Apple does not want people to switch stores and get a better deal.
But I am talking about completely different issue here.
Each country produces exclusive media content which is purely local.
This could be a localized version of Disney cartoon or a song in local language.
What I really want is to be able to download any exclusive local content from any iTunes store around the World.
The price can be different and it could be related to where I live. That's fair.
What is not fair is for Apple to tell me that I can not download russian movies and russian songs from a russian iTunes store because I am no longer live in Russia.
Here is what Apple can do to resolve this issue:
1. Provide different audio language sound tracks for movies.
If I am buying a Disney movie from Canadian iTunes store I would like to be able to buy it in English, French and Russian. Because my family members have different preferred language. You can charge for additional sound track a small amount, say $1.99
I does not cost anything and no content needs to be produced. It's just the way you package it.
2. Allow to mark iTunes content as an Exclusive local content. For instance a russian folk song or a russian documentary.
Make a special section "Russian exclusive content" or "Singapore exclusive content" etc
Allow anyone in any country to buy this content.
All this makes perfect economical sense and also fair to your customers.
Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated.
I hope this information is useful to improve iTunes store in future.

Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here. I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post.
It's not Apple's choice where to sell an item, the content providers control that. All content is licensed to Apple to sell by the content providers on a country-by-country basis, so each country has to have its own store - if the record company, film studio etc was happy for the item to be in your country's store then they will grant Apple a license to have it there. Similarly it's up to the film studio to put extra audio tracks and/or subtitles on their films.
If there is a particular film etc that you would like to be added to your country's store then you try requesting that it be added, but utlimately it's the content provider's choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Blank slides & missing content from Windows PPT to the mac

When I open PowerPoint files from the PC on the mac in PowerPoint 2011, there are blank pages/missing content. When I open in PowerPoint 2008 on the mac it's fine. I've removed duplicated fonts, and checked under a different user profile - but it still persists. Ideas??? I don't really want to use 2008 for slides...

Suggest you post on the Microsoft Mac forums since you're not having issues with any Apple product: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac

You'll have to update your OS on your Macbook.
Click on the black Apple logo at the top left of your Mac screen. Then click on Software Update.
