Computer crashed--Reinstalled iTunes and Now I cannot get my ipod to sink

up with my iTunes on the computer that I had to reinstall everything on. When I insert the ipod into the usb port itunes says I have to log out before it can access the ipod anymore. How do I get iTunes to accept my ipod shuffle now?
Also, is there anyway that I can acces my purchased songs that I paid for before my computer crashed?
Thanks

When I insert the ipod into the usb port itunes says I have to log out before it can access the ipod anymore. How do I get iTunes to accept my ipod shuffle now?
that sounds like a Fast User Switching issue. these documents might be of some help with that:

  • HT1296 my computer crashed and I had to reinstall itunes and now I cannot sync my ipod with my computer

    My computer crashed and I had to reinstall iTunes.  Now I cannot sync my iPod with my computer.  Any suggestions?

    Was this issue ever resolved?
    Ditto for me!  I am so upset because about 15 years, I've had the same old Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player which worked perfectly fine until the day Gigabeat (the software) upgraded to a Vista-compatibility program which made the MP3 go haywired!!  I couldn't get the MP3 player (again) to work as normal prior to the update.  Then, two years later, the business no longer supports MP3 players, nor does it invest in software patches!  Now I have a failed equipment ... though it still plays, but just won't let me work the controls to choose or select tracks!  I can only operate the on/off button on the Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player! AND, concidentally, the battery seems to shorten (lessen)!  Interesting...
    Then, I decided okay, I had enough...I can't play over 5.000 songs just to return to start; I decided to purchase the Apple iPod Classic 160 GB Silver!  I've had it only since March 2012.  It worked wonderfully at first.  It took me months to put all the music from my CDs to this magical device.  And, then, all of a sudden, my computer CRASHED (ironically in JUNE 2012!!) and lost all on the hard drive ... perhaps it is not ironic afterall.
    Here's a tall quesion to Apple manufacturer, are they preparing us to confiscate our equipment?  It sure seems that way to me! 
    No support from Toshiba (which, by the way, are currently investing in so-called "green energy in nuclear projects" in the state of Texas), nor is there any support by Apple ... Interesting!  Sorry for babbling.  But I'm tired of big money making corporations putting on the bluffer masks on the public!  Something just ain't right!  Hold tight to your vinyls, tape decks, cassettes, 8-tracks and CDs...  This may be just another whim to making big time money!

  • I just reinstalled iTunes and now I cannot bring up my calendar or contacts in Outlook.

    I had to reinstall iTunes on my PC as iTunes would not recognize my iPad. The diagnostics told me to reinstall iTunes which I did and now iTunes does recognize my iPad. But now I cannot access my iCloud contacts or calendar in MS Outlook. How can I solve this problem?

    If you didn't do so, you might need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components before reinstalling iTunes, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.  Be sure to unistall all components in the order listed in step 1.

  • HT1459 I cant see my serial number and I have never connected to Itunes and now I cant get my Ipod to do anything it just shows a Itunes note and a plug to connect it to Itunes

    You need to Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Restore “...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Note on Recovery Mode.
    You may need to try this More than Once...
    Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

  • I rented a movie through itunes and now I cannot find it on the ipad.  How do I access it?

    I rented a movie through itunes and now I cannot find it on the ipad.  How do I access it?

    Mmmm, try checking for available downloads from the store menu, if that doesn't help, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • You badgered me into installing the latest Itunes and now I cannot find my music nor my podcasts. Where the **** are they?

    I was badgered into installing the latest Itunes and now I cannot find my music nor my podcasts. Where the **** did they go and how can I get them back? You folks at Apple sure make it hard to like you or want to use your products.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't normally lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the main iTunes library folder (and subfolders if possible) from any real-time scanning process.

  • I downloaded iTunes and now I cannot print my CD Covers correctly.  It overprints the play list.

    I downloaded the iTunes and now I cannot print my CD Covers.  This happened before.  I removed and reinstalled, same.  I told it to repair, same.

    If you downloaded it on the iPad - look in the Music App. Tap on the More button at the bottom of the app and see if it shows up in there.
    Or search for it in the Spotlight Search. Swipe to the right from the home screen to get to the search feature.
    You can download it again for free if you are using the same Apple ID that you bought it with.

  • I had to reinstall itunes and now when I plug in my ipod itunes does not automatically come up so I can log in, how do I fix this?

    I had to reinstall itunes and now when I plug in my ipod itunes does not automatically open to my library or where I can access the itunes store.  What do I do now?

    Open iTunes and connect your iPod. Select your iPod in iTunes from the Source list. (I'm assuming this still works, although you didn't indicate if it did or didn't.) Make sure the box is checked to Open iTunes when this device is connected. You should be all set!

    It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923.

  • Installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

    installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

    I was having major problems too. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/.   If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and  I  don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to  be  sure that it will work on your first try, use internet  explorer  when you download itunes. Hope this helps...
