Certain music pieces and apps won't download from my iPod to iTunes on my MacBook

I want to put what is on my iPod on my new MacBook, but certain pieces and apps won't download because my computer isn't authorized (so it will delete it from my iPod if I sync), but when it asks me to authorize it it uses an old Apple ID that doesn't exist anymore and to which I do not have access. Any ideas how to fix this? I just want to be able to sync my iPod with this computer without worrying about losing anything.

Read the "iTunes and App Store Content" section, especially the "Transferring purchased content" link there.

    Are you trying to download it over Wi-Fi over sync it to your device via iTunes?  Do you have restrictions for installing applications enabled on your iPod Touch?  To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions.

  • Apps won't download from CC

    Please help!  I'm trying to download Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC and they stop at 42%.  The error message says zero errors.  What's up?
    This first happened trying to download the free trial.  Foolishly I thought if I went ahead and subscribed it would actually work, so I did that, but the results are the same: none.

  • FB4: Just migrated to Windows 7 and apps won't run from HTML

    I've got a new laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I've installed FB4 and moved all my projects over to it. When I try to run an app from inside FB4 (using either Firefox or IE8), and it loads the HTML file, nothing happens. If I change the URL to point to the SWF file instead, hey presto it works.... I presume I need to change a security setting somewhere, but what and where?
    Thanks

    I wonder--what would happen if you launched FB4 as an administrator?  Right click on the icon and say "Run as administrator."
    Does it publish the file correctly when running as administrator?

    If the Doctor doesn't work, then probably nothing will.  Run a search for doctoring and you can find how to do it.  A phone Help-person from Palm instructed me how to do it, and there is a Palm.com page that has the file to download, and I believe instructions with how to do it.
    Anyways, I'm coming to think that if no one replies to a question or problem, then they don't know how to fix it, or there is no fix for it yet.
    My wife's pixi had the download problem, too - Strangely my Pixi does not.  I'm just hoping that the newest WebOS will fix all bugs and issues. 

  • Email message won't download from server since installing IOS7

    Some of my emails both on my iPad and iPhone won't download from server since installing IOS7!

    I'm having the same problem with both my iPhone and iPad after installing iOS7.  Checked all the settings and spoke to my email  provider and everything is set up properly.  It's hit or miss which messages don't download from the server too.  And occasionally, a message that does download to my iPad, won't download on my iPhone.  Everything on my PC downloads properly, it just seems to be an ios7 issue as this wasn't a problem before.  My wife uses the same email provider and is still on iOS6.x with no issues.  Any help or suggestions would be great.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • HT5622 I downloaded two apps on the App Store and it won't ask my for my Apple ID, so my apps won't download. How do I fix this?

    I download two apps on the apps store. And they won't download because my phone won't ask me my Apple ID. Why do I do?

    Is this a new Apple iD? If it is, and you have already set it up, then you have two options:
    1.     Temporarily put a Credit Card or Gift Card on the account to download the free app. If you put a credit card, then once you have downloaded the app, you should be able to go into your Account preferences and change the payment option to = None.
    2.     You can download the fee App, and then set up a new Apple ID.

  • My apps won't download to my iPad but will to my phone. When I put it my password, it just stops and won't do anything else????

    Unless you have a copy of the iPod backup file from the previous computer installation you are out of luck. If yo have that file move it to your computer and restore the iPod from that backup.  Otherwise, you will have to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod and lose all your app date. That is the way it is since the iPod sees the computer as a new computer/iTunes library.  That backup file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work?

    I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

    You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

  • When transferring music library and apps to my new I Pad I think I clicked Export Library instead of synching.  Now my music library is virtually empty - mostly CDs downloaded, a few apps for the I Pad and apps for the I pod too.  Can I move these back?

    weird very weird. today i did this again today after already being unsuccessful earlier. exactly the same thing as i have done before, exactly. didn't try to import. didn't say damaged library, copied everything in including date. have tried it about 10 times no luck. today it just worked.
    how weird is that?
    oh well JG - maybe you mixed a magic potion for me?
    anyway, thank you for all the help.
    to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.
