Can not access my music

I have spent over 450.00 on the Itunes website on music. When my computer died I got a new one and they were able to transfer the files and now I can not access any of the music I purchased on Itunes. I can see it, it just will not play. What the heck?

+I get a message about it not being the original+
A message about the original file not being found? Are you sure the actual music files got transferred to your new PC from the old PC? They are not stored on Apple servers, waiting for you to download them as many times as you want. It's one download per track purchase.

    I have had an apple ID for at least 8 years I now have a diffeent deslyop computer and email address from when I opened the account when my email changed I updated my email and continued to download music books apps etc after a recent update I can no longer access the misic I purchased using teh original email address...it asks for my apple ID and shows original email address and I can not remember the password I had then and it does not recognize my birthdate etc...any thoughts?

    Well I am having the same issue and I had not had to worry about getting a "licensed charger."  The poster who responded offered not real insite and was rude to boot.  I am also looking for the fix on this .  My iphone will not even charge now on any charger.  What the heck.  I am not trying to treaten anyone either when I say I am frustrated with my iphone which in my case I have only had for a few months.  I have already sent one in to be replaced and this is my second one.  I have had troubles since the update GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR .

  • Apple ID disabled on Iphone, I can not access my music or apps!

    I have been able to log on here using my apple id, but on my Iphone the message comes up eveytime Your Appl ID has been disabled. with the button OK
    It is so frustrating!!! What can I do I have changed the password secrurity question name even  on the account but still not working!!
    Please any help would be nice as I have 5 years worth of Itunes songs I can no longer access:(

    I'm not bird doggin the various advices, but unless I have really missed something, all the APPLE produced pages, references etc. say that all one need do is reset the password. Are the Apple webdevelopers or whomever, so out of touch that they cant get the pages correct? Do they need to say Contact us now?
    Yes, I did follow all the APPLE links regarding Account ID. Heck, even the FAQ  regarding disabled ID refer one to the reset password pages. BYT the way, the pages read Disabled for Security Purposes. I only get a message that says Disabled. Dont know if that matters. What does matter is as things stand, it seems that all APPLES links, FAQs etc. very strongly vacuum.

  • After downloading iTunes 7.4.1 - Can not access iTunes Music Store

  • I can't access my music when i have my ipod connected... this *****...

    ok, i have a 20GB ipod with the click wheel. i heard a lot of good things about the newest version of ITunes so I decided to download it. After installing it, half of my playlists were gone... AGGHHHH!!!!
    I would be able to deal with that, but now I can not access my music. What's the deal here? I can see the songs, but iTunes is not allowing me to click on any of the songs. But when I unplug the iPod, I can click on any songs in my library.
    Can anyone help me out here? Thanks so much!!!

    Uncheck the "automatically sync" button (or it might be checking the manually manage the ipod). If you have it set to automatically sync the music, it will automatically transfer your music and playlists from your comptuer to the iPod, which means any changes on the computer get put on the iPod. If you uncheck that button, you'll have to manually manage the music, but you'll be able to access the music on the iPod. Took me a while to figure this one out.

  • HT4527 My laptop that currently has my itunes library on it is broken and so I can not access it. Is there a way of getting my whole music library put onto a different laptop?

    My laptop that currently has my itunes library on it is broken and so I can not access it. Is there a way of getting my whole music library put onto a different laptop?

    You can have two separate libraries, just do not put them into the same location on the computer. You could also create a new user on the laptop, you, and then you would start out with a blank iTunes library, then just add yours to that. It would also prevent you and your girlfriend from mixing content up unless you share an Apple ID.

    What do you mean you cannot access it?
    It will be wherever you put it.
    Please explain.

    Re: That garbage is unreadable.
    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

  • How can I access my music library from a laptop on the road, as if my PC is not active? I tunes is installed on both PC and Home Sharing is enabled on both devices.

    How can I access my music library from a laptop on the road, as if my PC is not active? I tunes is installed on both PC and Home Sharing is enabled on both devices.

    The key constraint for Home Sharing in this context is that both PCs need to be on the same wifi network. So once you get out of range of the wifi network covering your home PC, the laptop is not going to be able to Home Share.
    Have you considered importing your iTunes music to the laptop? Then you could listen to a local copy of the music on the laptop while you're on the road. (You can do the import via home sharing when both computers are on the same wifi network.)

  • HT204406 I purchased the additional Icloud storage for my ipod touch.  Since it removes all my music from the touch and stores it in Icloud, I find that when I am not at my wifi location or another one,I can't access my music.Is there a solution for that?

    I purchasedhe additional Icloud storage for my ipod touch.  That removes all my music from the ipod and putsd it in Icloud.  I find that when I am away from my wifi connection, like when walking or working out, I can't access my music. Is there a solution for this?

    Download the music to your ipod when you are in a wi-fi area.
    It will be stored on your ipod.

  • Can't access the music on my iPod, iTunes freezes up

    Hello out there, I have a problem with my fifth generation 30 GB iPod video. It has worked like a dream until yesterday. I plugged my iPod into my computer (HP laptop running Windows Vista) and it showed up in iTunes as usual. I dragged three albums onto my iPod and it did the usual routine of updating. When it was done I clicked the eject symbol in the iTunes menu and waited for the battery to show on the iPod screen before disconnecting. I turned on the iPod to listen to these new tunes and now my iPod appears to be blank. Under artists, albums, songs, etc there are no longer any options.
    Okay, I have the day off from work so I figure I'll just sync it back up and put all 30 gigs back on. I plug the iPod in, iTunes opens automatically, and then freezes. After unplugging the iPod itunes resumes working. I try this several more times, restart the computer, restart the iPod, etc and it keeps doing the same thing.
    Frustrated (as this happened once before with a much older iPod several years ago) I headed over to these forums. From looking around I saw the five R's that are always suggested. After reseting, retrying, and restarting, the problem still persists: I can't access the music on my ipod, and itunes freezes.
    I then updated to the newest version of itunes. This also did nothing to solve the problem. I want to attempt to restore my ipod, unfortunately this is not possible because I can't access the iPod options through itunes because it freezes as soon as the ipod is attached to the computer.
    After reading several threads on these support forums I stumbled on this one: (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1480926&tstart=0) in which a user recommends downloading an alternative iPod manager. I followed the link in that thread and settled on a program called poddox, hoping I could just throw all my music back onto my iPod with it. So I again plugged in my ipod, waited for itunes to freeze, closed it as it was not responding, and opened podox. Podox reported that all of my music is still on the iPod (it says there is less than 200 megs of space available).
    Unfortunately poddox won't work for me either. Upon attempting to use it to remove all the data on my ipod my computer crashed and restarted. This is strange because although itunes freezes when the ipod is plugged in, it still appears as a removable disk in windows.
    I returned to the apple website and downloaded and older, seperate ipod updater software from 2006. I installed the software and it restarted my computer. When I ran the ipod updater I received a message informing me that this software was no longer supported and that if i wanted to update my ipod's software or restore it I should just do it through itunes v.7 or later. The program then quits, and I have no choice.
    I'm about ready to pull my hair out here. What can I do? It seems like a real catch 22 in that I need to restore my ipod for itunes to recognize it but i can't restore it because itunes doesn't recognize it. From what I gather there is no way to restore it without using itunes, is this accurate? What can I do to either delete all the data on my pod and reload it, or make it appear again in my ipod's menu/interface? Any help you guys can give is greatly appreciated, I will be monitoring the responses to this thread in case anyone should need more information from me. Thanks again.

    right, figured it out. had to put it in disk mode, then reconnect, then it was recognized, then i restored and put everything back onto it. hope this helps anyone else who has a similar problem

  • My iPod was made on Windows, now I have a Mac and can't access the music on the iPod to carry over to new iTunes. What to do?

    I am unsure whether it can be reformatted? On the summary when I plug in the ipod (pretty sure it's a nano 4th gen) it shows the format as Windows. However now I have a Mac, I can't access the music library on the ipod, and I'm not game to try 'export' as I don't know what it will do, and I won't sync as I will lose that music library. I am thinking of making an appointment to see the Apple staff at the shop but I'm not sure if I will need to get a new ipod in the end??

  • I have subscribed to I Tunes Match on my computer where I've been syncing and backing up my I Phone.  Can I access my music before all the artwork is uploaded from my computer?

    I have subscribed to I Tunes Match on my computer where I've been syncing and backing up my I Phone.  Can I access my music before all the artwork is uploaded from my computer?

    Hi,
    You will no longer be able to sync manually with match. I would suggest that you wait until match has competed its process on your computer and that you are told how many tracks are in the cloud.
    If you activate match on your iOS device too soon, you may find that all your tracks are not there. Ps it is not just artwork that is being uploaded, it's music as well.

  • I was given an older ipod as a gift and want to load the songs into my computer, but it says that I can not access the sync feature.  I registered for an Apple ID and when I tried it won't let me register.

    When I was given the iPod it had a GREAT load of songs already on it. (That was part of the whole "gift" thing.)  I want to sync it and create playlists in my own library and copy the songs to my computer's library too.  I applied for an Apple ID, and find that this is so old that eventhough it was NEVER registered it is listed under a weird username and won't let me register as the new owner to access the music and sync.  What do I do?  It is an older version (I'm assuming) with 80G and only 25 have been used.  I can't access the music already loaded and don't want to lose the mp3 files I have in my existing library now too. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Not sure if this helps:-
    The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered  owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work.  Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple  Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them.  The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

  • I have had to create a new Apple ID due to my old email being locked/out of use. I can not access my old email/Apple Id to change icloud and imessage to my new Apple ID. Any ideas?

    I have had to create a new Apple ID after having my previous email locked and put out of use. I have managed to change my purchasing for music and apps to my new Apple ID but for iCloud and iMessage I can not access my old email/Apple ID to change this.
    Any ideas guys. Sorry if this has been posted previous.
    New here.
    Thanks

    You need to delete them and then download them from the new Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.
