Cannot restire iTunes Songs, Apps, etc.

I cannot get my songs, apps etc. back into iTunes after reinstalling original software and updating it to 10.5.6. iTunes content disapeared. Also, updated to iTunes 8 but software will not let me use 2.2.
1. How do I restore my account? I have tried to do this via hard drive backups but nothing is working.
2. Also, I have trouble downloading Apps onto my iPhone. I pay but they never download.
3. I thought updating to 2.2 would fix this but my iTunes 8 says my iPhone software is current.
Thank you!

Hi ttheothereye,
Under the "View" option at the top, click on the "Show Sidebar". That will bring back the sidebar you are used to seeing, and will list your device the way you are looking for.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

  • How to import my data(Mail, iCal, iTune songs & apps, etc.) to MacBook Pro?

    I used firewire cable to migrate my data from old PBG4 to new MacBook Pro.
    But still wonder how I can bring or import
    - my old mails from Mail
    - iCal schedules
    - Address Book cotacts
    - iTunes songs & all apps for iPhone
    - some Safari/ Firefox bookmark
    Thanks much in advance for help!

    I understood the location where I could import from or export to. But I was (and am) quite confused to understand possible problems if the importing files are not compatible on two different computers such as G4 and intel-based mac.
    Now I'm done importing those data, but not quite sure I did check correct way if those files are compatible. Everything seems fine, though.

  • I have to re-install itunes, how can I get all my songs, apps etc back, with no access to my old itunes??

    Itines was deleted from my computer and I need to re-install it but dont want to lose all my songs, apps etc. How can I get all this back onto itunes with no access to my old itunes??

    Itunes was deleted?  Or your itunes library was deleted?
    If it was just itunes, then your music should still be there.  Just reinstall itunes.
    Otherwise just use your backup copy of your comuter to put everything back.

  • Ok i have been trying to download albums, songs, apps, etc. and my itunes keeps asking me for the security question and for the life of me i cant remember the answers. I dont know what the email is that receives the question reset.

    If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours.  You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method.  But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

  • Cannot open itunes and apps on ipad after new download

    Hello - just download the new iOS 7.0 software to ipad and iphone 4s but now cannot access itunes or app store.  Can anyone advise what to do?  Thank you.

    I got a message that it was not possible and that I should delete IPhone from my computor and download a new program from Appstore. I did so but the same message appears.
    What is the exact error message you get, when you try to open iPhoto or iTunes? Please post it litarally.
    What versions of MacOS X and iPhoto are you having?
    How much free disk space is on your mac?
    Where do you keep your Media? iPhoto library, iTunes Library? On your system drive or on an external disk?

  • My new ipod touch 4g 8gb wont let me add songs/apps/etc from itunes

    i just exchanged my old ipod for a brand new one at the apple store (both touch;4g) because the home button wont work
    when i try to add songs or apps to it (since it has nothing on it) it wont let me. i made sure to authorize my computer, too. it has a 'not allowed' symbol (crossed out circle) next to my ipod when i try to drag songs/apps/videos to it.
    when i first plugged it in the other day, i used a back-up of my old ipod but it didnt do anything since i didnt back up my old ipod in the first place. when i wasnt able to add my songs/apps, i reset my ipod and 'started over' w/o a backup and it still didnt work
    i also have the latest version of itunes on a windows xp computer
    any help would be greatly appreciated ^_^
    thanks, Alyssa

    im a step closer now--i had it so i cant auto-sync any device on this computer, which it still is, but now i went to devices>my ipod>summary and checked 'manually manage music and videos'. now it has tje plus sign when i drag songs to it, but it doesnt sync when i drop them....

  • ITunes Store Apps (etc) Page Numbers, Wish List For My iTunes Account

    Why doesn't the iTunes Store have page numbers under each page of the items (songs, e-books, apps, etc), because with over 200000 apps I will be damned if I am going to go back to the start of each apps category (for example) clicking in increments of 12 apps at a time until I get to app number 7264!!!!!! I WILL JUST STOP USING THE APPS STORE!!!
    Some apps have a PRODUCTIVITY button in the left top corner that will take you back to the last apps browsing page you were on, while other apps have a BACK button in the top left corner WHICH TAKES YOU RIGHT BACK TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THE APPS CATEGORY YOU WERE BROWSING, so if you were up to app 734 (for example) you have to click through 64 apps pages JUST TO GET BACK TO THE APP YOU WERE UP TO LAST!!! INFURIATING - BEGGARS BELIEF!?!
    WHY CANT I CLICK AN 'ADD TO WISH LIST' BUTTON ON EACH APP PAGE, SO I ALSO DONT HAVE TO BROWSE THROUGH ANOTHER 100 PAGES OF APPS TO FIND THE ONE I LOOKED AT IN MY LAST ISTORE SESSION??????
    Hasn't anyone at apple used eBay or amazon???
         

    Update: As of this morning the updates were GONE again, so I'm thinking this may recur on and off until all settles after the launch of new software and iDevices this week.

  • How do I import all my songs, apps, etc from my old pc to my new iMac?

    Had originally copied songs onto a memory stick from old computer (PC), and copied to itunes in my new iMac.  Seemed to work fine but when I went to sync my iphone 4s, it is evident that all my apps etc are still in the other computer.  Is there any way to sync it all over ????

    The apple store will do this for you.
    You can call apple support and they will help you.
    You can type " move itunes library from pc to mac" in the google search bar.

  • Old computer died - need to get itunes songs/apps on new computer

    Our old computer has died. Repair guy is able to retrieve files from hard drive. My kids have an ipod nano and ipod touch. How do we get the new computer set up and get all of the songs/apps/movies onto the new computer? Should I ask repair guy to look for specific file on hard drive or will itunes get info from their ipods when they plug in?

    You should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations (Do not ask for more than that or they might not help).

  • I cannot access itunes or app store on my iphone 5

    For the last few days I have been unable to access itunes or app store from my phone. I get a blank page and a loading icon... nothing happens
    tried all the " change the year settings"
    anyone offer advice?

    By cannot access do you mean you cant login or completely cant view the stores. If you cant login make sure you haven't exceeded the maximum number of devices your allowed to authorize.

  • I cannot access iTunes songs showing in external hard drive

    I recently closed my dropbox account and moved its content to an external hard drive. This included iTunes songs  and now the songs and related albums no longer show in iTunes when I open it up, although I can see the individual songs (but not in albums)  in the external hard drive.  There are a limited number of albums still showing when I open up iTunes but they are albums I have recently added to iTunes.
    However I can see the albums and tracks in the iTunes media folder on my Mac internal hard drive, but they do not show up when I actually open up Itunes.I have followed advice found on this website and have tried to move my iTunes folder to the external drive so all the music is in one place, but i keep getting an 'error code 50' message appearing.  I have also tried to select the individual songs on the hard drive and move them to the media folder but there are no 'albums' to move them into and they just sit there as individual songs.  I have a macbook air which is one year old and a WD My Passport ultra 1TB external hard drive.  I am using OSX version 10.9.5 with 8GB of memory.  As you can tell from my endeavours, I do not really understand the way iTunes works and it may be that the various songs and albums in the media folder need to be organised in a different way perhaps, so that they are visible when I open up iTunes?
    As I have lots of space on my external hard drive and am running out of space on my Mac hard drive, ideally I would like all my iTunes folders to be held on my external drive, as it is always plugged in to my Mac, and for iTunes to be 'pointed' to the hard drive.   Any advice please?
    Thanks
    Elizabeth

    All kinds of things going on.
    About the error code.  Do you men "50" or do you mean "-50"?  It is critical things get reported exactly here.  Error -50 is a very unhelpful generic communications error with a number of possible causes.  Something between the drive to which you are downloading and the drive from which it is all coming is not working correctly, with probably dozens of possibilities.  I guess one simple possibility is if this is a brand new drive it likely came formatted for Windows use and needs reformatting for Mac.

    Pondini: Formatting,  Partitioning, Verifying,  and  Repairing  Disks... - http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html, specifically http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
    Basic workings of iTunes.  When you add a file to iTunes it puts the file in a specific location designated in you Media Folder preferences setting and makes a note in a database file (library.itl) of where it put it.  When you want to play the track iTunes looks up where the file should be, goes there and plays that file.  iTunes does not inventory its media folder for new additions.  For iTunes to recognize tracks they have to be added to iTunes either by importing, dragging to iTunes, or dragging to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder.  If files added to iTunes are later moved by you in Finder, particularly to another drive, iTunes loses track of them completely and give you a broken link indicator " ! ".

    I don't know exactly how Dropbox works but basically by moving all your files instead of letting iTunes do the relocating you have broken all the links to your older files in iTunes.  You can either repair them one by one, by one, by one....  or you can rebuild your library, or essentially create a new library and start over again (you did read those links I provided didn't you?).  If you are prepared to start over, hold down the option key while starting iTunes.  Create a new library on the external drive.  Drag all your media files to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder in the iTunes folder on that drive.
