  • How can I get iTunes to recognize my new iPod shuffle?

    I have a new iPod shuffle, but when I plugged it into my MacBook Pro to charge it and put music on, nothing happens. It does not appear to be charging and does not show up on my iTunes. The USB port works fine, and iTunes recognizes my iPhone and iPad. Is there something I am missing here. or should I take it back to the store as defective?

    Hi all :-)
    I have also a problem with a new ipod shuffle
    I plug it and itunes alerts me that something went wrong.
    I have MBA 13" 2012 on Yosemite, Itunes is up to date
    If someone has a solution. Thank you

    Make an appointment at the genius bar.
    If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

  • How can I get iTunes to recognize the apps that are missing from the library screen but still on the machine??

    My apps are not showing-up in the iTunes library but they are present in the apps folder. How can I get iTunes to recognize their presence?
    Library-Apps-All (only three of several hundred appear).
    Apps are still present in Users-Music-Mobile Applications
    I am running iTunes 11.0, OS X 10.8.2 on a Mac Pro. 
    Ran Disk Utility, Techtool, Disk Warrior and then reinstalled Mountain Lion, updated it and repaired permissions. No change.
    There is a file that says 'iTunes Library (damaged), which is the iTunes Database file. How can that file be re-created?
    Any technical help on replacing that file with a new, fresh one would be appreciated!

    It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of media and other important files.  If you chose to reinstall the OS without having a backup, well that just is not smart.
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded via iCloud.  Simply log into the iTunes store, select purchases, purchase history and redownload the content.
    If you are not in the US.... well, seems you just learned and important and possibly expensive lesson.

  • Can't get itunes to recognize my iphone

    I'm a total newbie, just got my iphone 3G yesterday, I've read through all the troubleshooting but I still can't get itunes to recognize my iphone. Either nothing happens, like a device isn't hooked up, or it says that the "mobile device has not been activated" Hopefully this is a simple issue that I'm just overlooking, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I do realize I'm talking to myself here haha. Well, now it seems to be even weirder because I juet kept trying and trying and it finally recognized the iphone but then after I start syncing, it cuts out after about a minute or two and I get an error message saying there was an "invalid response recieved from the device". So I hooked it back up and it recognized it again (after several tries) so I hurried and manually tried syncing some of favorite songs and then it cut out again, when I checked the phone only the ones I added the second time were there, the first round of syncing had been erased. It's a vicious cycle I'm in here! I had this phone for a day and I HATE it!! I'd rather have my dinky little razor phone that at least had video and zoom capabilities. So far all I want to do is take this thing and chuck it into the street!

  • Can't get iTunes to recognize library on external HD

    I have been using my work computer as my main machine to run and store my iTunes. My library got too big so I moved it onto an external HD and pointed iTunes to it. Everything was working fine until my computer had to be reformatted recently. I reinstalled iTunes and went through the steps to point it to my hard drive, and nothing. For the life of me I can't get iTunes to recognize my library on the hard drive. I looked for a while in the discussions, but couldn't find anything that addresses my problem specifically. I'm dying at work without my music... Help!

    iTunes keepes a database about your Music called iTunes Library.itl, it is normally in a folder called iTunes. When you use an external drive, you can choose to keep the library database in the iTunes folder on your c: drive or you can move it to the external drive. It is vital to know which you did.
    The critical question is - do you have an iTunes folder on your external drive containing your library file - iTunes Library.itl?
    If you do and you do the shift key start correctly, you can select choose a library and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive and choose iTunes library.itl.
    Here is some help on the shift key start:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
    If you kept your iTunes library database in the iTunes folder on your c: drive and you did not back it up, then you must start again with a new library. You can put your music in it from the external drive with File>>Add folder to Library, but you loose your counts ratings and playlists.

    Could you ask your qustion in a new thread this kind of question is always highly specific to a particular user and it is much easier to deal with it in a separate thread.

  • After OS clean install I can't get iTunes to recognize library on external drive

    I have a Mac Pro that had an SSD boot drive and a separate hard drive that contains my iTunes Library and Media files.  Because of problems with my boot drive I erased the SSD and did a clean install of Mavericks.  Now I can't get iTunes to recognize the iTunes Media files on the hard drive.  I've gone to Preferences/Advanced in iTunes and changed the "iTunes Media folder location" to point to the hard drive with the iTunes data on it.  Nothing happens when I do this. No dialogs. Nothing.  I've trashed iTunes preferences to no avail.  I don't know what to do to fix this or troubleshoot it.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Nothing should happen when you do this. This simply tells iTunes where to put anything you add after this. It doens't tell iTunes where anything already in iTunes is located.
    Hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the hard drive.

    This error usually points into the jailbreak direction. If DFU mode does not help, you can't restore the phone due to the modified software that has been installed before you got the phone.

  • I can not get itunes to open on Windows 7...

    I just got a new iPhone and wanted to back up my old iPhone to my computer one more time before switching over...Two hours later I still can not get iTunes to open.  I have two different acounts on my computer, iTunes will load on the secondary account, but not my main account.  I logged into iTunes on that account and now have issues with libraries, and overriding and synching and deleting, and a million other messages that made me nervous about backing up my phone through the secondary account.  I just want to get iTunes to work on my main account.  I have tried several different things, and am getting incredibly frustrated.  Just in case I messed up a step of the "obvious" fixes, I would appreciate anything anyone could suggest to help   Thank you!

    I strongly recommend that you install iTunes to the default C: paths. You can change the perferences to keep the actual music files on your D: partition.
