Can't deauthorize old comp. where are my songs!!!!!

I got a new comp. and can't deauthorize my old one. all my songs are in the old one and the new iTunes won't let me transfer my songs to the new computer. I get an error when trying to deauthorize the old one... Error 44134. CAN ANYONE HELP!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows

iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
The transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

How can I deauthorize old PC's as I am over 5

I had my laptop crash yesterday, got a new PC and I am trying to sync for the first time. I found out I cannot authorize this PC as my old laptop was #5. I had old work PC's at an old place of employment, a home PC that is dead and gone, and the laptop I told you just crashed....meaning I have access to none at the moment to deauthorize any of them.
How can I deauthorize old PC's so I can sync my phone when I have no access to the old PC's?

I think it's in your iTunes account settings. I know you can't do it one by one. There is a button that will say "deauthorize all" which will put you back at zero and then you can authorize the ones you want.

Apps (like other synced media like music) are not included in the backup that iTunes makes. Thus, restoring from backup if the apps are not in the iTunes library there are no apps to restore to the iPod.
Redownload the apps into your iTunes library.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
And then restore from backup.
Make sure that in iTunes>Preferences>Devices the box that say "Prevent iPods..." is checked otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the previous backup (with your app data) might be overwritten.

Trying to manage my music on iPhone but can't use old comp all my stuff on how do i do this

trying to delete some music from phone and store the old comp i use to do it on is broken how do i set up a new comp

Honestly the best bet at this point since we can't respond to whats on the screen is to plug it in over night and hope its connected to wi-fi so it can attempt to make an iCloud back-up. It won't have as much information backed up as an iTunes back-up but its still better than nothing. As to how to check the icloud back-up you will need to locate another iOS device and log into iCloud on the device and go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Back-up>Manage Back Up and it will display a time that it last backed-up.

Sent contacts from outlook express to my ipad but I can't find them. Where are they?

My laptop says that it has synced my Outlook Express contacts to my Ipad via a USB link. I can't find them. Where would they be?

Where are my songs and why won't my iPod turn on?!

I have two questions.
First, my apple ID has been the same since I was in college. HOwever, the computer I used in college that had my 2000plus songs on it has died. Why are my songs not in my iTunes when I log in under my same ID and how can I get them?
Second, my iPod will not turn on or even be awknowledged by iTUnes when I plug it in. It will start with the apple sign but then go to a sad robot iPod that says "apple.com/support/ipod" which I have been to and the tips didn't work. Keep in mind I have a very old version on my iPod because before my computer died, it lost the ablility to connect to the internet.
Please help!

Why are my songs not in my iTunes when I log in under my same ID and how can I get them?
Why would they be? You didn't back them up anywhere and iTunes does automatically redownload them to new library once you have authorized it. You can redownload most iTunes purchases again at no cost using the instructions in this article.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
As for the error message on your iPod, it sounds like it's hard drive is dying. See this Apple support document for more information.

Mozaic: where are the songs?

I have a brand new Zen Mozaic. I have the latest firmware: .06.0_.03.04. My operating system is Windows Vista, 64 bit.
I loaded many songs onto the MP3 player from my computer, and they are on the player. The player displays the songs and can play them. For the first few days, when I hooked the player up to my computer, the computer recognized the songs on it and was able to synch with the player.
But just today, my computer recognizes that the player is plugged in, recognizes that there's about 8 gigs of stuff on it, but claims there's nothing on there! It says that there are 0 songs, 0 artists, 0 genres, etc. when I open up Windows Media Player, Creative Centrale, and Windows Explorer. All the folders are empty. I loaded a small playlist on the player, and it shows that, but nothing else. I tried restarting my computer, unplugging and replugging in the player, and no luck.
HELP!!

Hello Jenjab77,
Welcome to Creative forums!
If the reset doesn't work, try booting the player from the recovery mode and select Clean Up->Reboot.
Turn off your player.
Press and hold .
Continue to hold until you perform the 3rd Step. If you accidentally release the button, start the procedure again by turning the player off normally. If the player freezes, press the reset button on the player to turn it OFF.
Slide the On/Off/Lock switch towards and hold until the display lights up. The Recovery Mode screen appears, and four menu items are shown: Clean Up, Format All, Reload Firmware and Reboot.
I suggest using only one program to transfer files. Sometimes, using one or more programs caused problems like files not showing up. Hope this helps.

Sync done, iPod update is complete: Where are my songs and videos?

So there is my problem... I have 35 songs in my iTunes music library. When I plug in my iPod to sync the music, it starts syncing, then says its completed and it's ok to disconnect.... yet there are no songs in my iPod. I have to sync and desync about 10 times before it does work... each time I want to put a new song or whatever. I turned back the iPod, tried with a new one, same problem. Reinstalled the latest version of iTunes, same problem. Tried another USB port, same problem.
Anyone got an answer to my question? Would be really helpful.

I am using my old hard-drive as an external drive temporarily but I can't fins my bookmarks;where are they/how do i access them so i can copy to new computer?

the power supply in my pc fried but my hard drive was unaffected - i need to find my firefox bookmarks on the old hard drive so i can copy them. when i try going into the firefox program file, i don't see a folder for or called bookmarks.
i can recreate some of them but there are some that are critical that i can't find

The Time Capsule is a network drive and Time Machine cannot backup files that are already on a network drive.
You might want to take a look at Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, as both of these utilities will backup a network drive like the Time Capsule.

I downloaded some podcasts, but I can't find them. Where are they?

I just downloaded 17 podcasts episodes. The iTunes confirms that they're in the iPhone (4S), but I can't find them.
I already looked in the "Music" section, "More", etc. But the "Podcasts" item it's no there. Neither in the "Video" section.
Do I need an app to make they work?
Where they could be?
Thanks!
Ana C.

They are no longer supported in the Music app. You need to download the Podcast app from the App store. It is free.

I can't deauthorize old computers because I can't authorize my new one

I used iTunes on my old Windows computers years ago, and on old ipods. I no longer have any of the devices. I broke down and bought a Macbook Pro. When I tried to use iTunes, I discovered that I could not authorize it on my new computer because I already had five authorizations.
I searched help and tried to deauthorize all of my computers so I could authorize this one. And there is the catch-22. I cannot use Deauthorize All because my new computer is not authorized...but I can't authorize it because I already have too many old authorizations.
Any ideas how I can deauthorize all my old ones?

Can't access old backups, but are still there!

So i tried today to access some old backups, and lo and behold, when i open time machine, the only ones i could get to were the ones from today. I looked in sys.prefs. and it said that the oldest backup i had was, in fact what it should be, but i can't access anything older than today! How can I access my older archives?

Confirm that an entirely new backup has not been created. If only one backup folder exists, perhaps the Time Machine interface view is slow in bringing up previous backups to view.

Last year I purchased numerous tv shows and could always redownload them from the "Cloud". Now I can't find them. Where are they?

How can I redownload tv shows I bought on Itunes?

They should have downloaded into the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :
If they aren't in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them ?
