Computer died...can't download all songs to itunes-HELP!

My laptop died and I am trying to uploade my music from my ipod to my new computer. I have autherized the computer but itunes keeps telling me that my ipod is still attached to another library. Also, having trouble with my new iphone. It won't upload songs I've purchased to itunes and it won't download songs from my itunes music. Help!

I am having the same problem, "Error formatting disk iPod. Disk cannot be written to or copied from."
The guy at the apple store said the iPod is totally fine, that it's my computer. Getting nowhere with my laptop manufacturer - he tells me to do to the apple store.
I was told the best bet is to make sure my music files are backed up on my hard drive, then uninstall and then reinstall iTunes.

Can't download all songs in itunes onto iphone

I have 2255 songs in Itunes on my MacBook Pro. However, when I try to sync all my songs onto my iphone and ipad I end up being short by about 60 songs. I have indicated sync "Entire music library". Any ideas?

Hey there,
Have you authorized the computer yet to play purchases from the iTunes store? If not, head to the Store drop down menu and choose "Authorize computer."
If it is, try de-authorizing your computer, logging out, logging back in, and re-authorizing.

Can you Download all Songs from ITunes Match onto Computer without having to click every cloud

I am preparing to cancel my iTunes match service as I have moved from Australia to the UK and want the UK iTunes store but I cannot transfer over untill ITunes Match is canceled and before I do this I want to put all cloud music onto my ITunes and wondered if there was a quick way to do this. I don't want to click on every cloud icon.
iTunes is the PC version

Go to Edit > Select All. This will select all the songs in your library. Then right-click and select "Download."

Can you download all of your iTunes match account onto your computer? I screwed up my iPod that had the entire library on it and the computer that had the hard copies of the files on it blew a hard drive. I need to get the files back from iTunes Match.

Can you recover/download all of your iTunes Match account onto your computer? I synced the iPod that I had the entire library on to a new computer and lost almost all of my music. The old computer that had the library on it blew a hard drive and I can't sync the iPod back to the old computer. Everything is in iTunes Match, but can I load it onto my computer, so I can get it back on my classic iPod?

If you had iTunes Match before all this happened, yes. Just log in, activate iTM and download the music. If you did not have iTunes Match prior to these incidents, no, it can not help you.
You should also be doing regular backups of your personal data to an extnal HDD. If you had a backup hue could simply restore it.

Can't download any song from iTunes-Store

Hi there,
since I updated to iTunes 9.0.1, I can't download/ buy any song or album;
- unknown error(1008). Please try later.
Apple-support couldn't help me until now.
Any ideas ?
Thank you.

ok, it's seem to be a real bug with this version, i have install again the 8.2 version,
and everything works again. So i keep this version, waiting the next update.
all my music and all the playlists have been conserved following this instructions:
1. Put Itunes 9 from "Applications" file, in the "Trash"
2.Go "Library/Receipts/ItunesX.pkg" and put the "X.pkg..." from "Library" àto the trash.
iTunes is now uninstalled, You can now install the 8.2 version or any other old version. But she will not able to read your musical library, cause it was created with the 9 version, so you"ll have to do this :
3. Go in "Music" file and "Itunes" file
4. just be sure that in "previous library" file, you have the last save of your Library (with the date)
5. Go again in "Music/ Itunes". and put "library Xml" and "iTunes Library" into the trash.
6. Copy the last Library save in "Previous Library" and paste it instead of the library you have just erase.
7. Rename it "itunes library".
8. You can now install your 8.2 version and listen your music and buy again on itunes store !
YOU'll find all the old itunes versions ( apple and windows) here /

How many times can you download a song on iTunes and have it count?

I'm wondering. Someone I like have released a song on iTunes and I wanna support them and I dont mind spending a few bucks on them.
So how many times can I download a song and still have it count as an individual purchase? And what about gifting?
thanks.
-andy.

As Polydorus said, get only one download per purchase for anything you buy from the iTunes Store other than iOS apps or iBooks. I'm not sure what you mean by "individual purchase" or what you are asking in reference to gifting.
Regards.

Can't download certain songs from iTunes match

Last night I extacted a full album from a CD to my PC laptop via iTunes.
All track names were detected by gracenote and all 12 songs were exacted and showing up in iTunes except the artwork was missing for some reason?
I upload all 12 songs to iTunes match.
Today, on my desktop, I turned on iTunes match and I can see the album and all 12 songs.
There is a download button next to each track and I attempted to download all 12 songs. Most of them downloaded except 4 songs for some reason?
The download button is NOT greyed out, it's black, but when I click on it iTunes does nothing. The songs were not downloaded from iTunes match and I have no idea why? No error message....it just doesnt want to download those 4 songs.
Troubleshooting:
-Turned off itunes match. Restarted iTunes and turned iTunes Match back on. Tried to download the songs again, download button is black but same problem.
-Signed out of my Apple account and singed back on. Tried to download the songs again, download button is black but same problem.
-Deauthorized computer, re-authorized computer, updated iTunes match. Tried to download the songs again, download button is black but same problem.
I don't get it? Why would some of the tracks download but not all of them when the entire track list is present. 12/12 songs are showing up but iTunes Match would only let me download 8/12 songs.

Also, I am running iTunes 11.1.3 on Windows 7 Pro x64 for both my laptop and desktop.

Can't download purchased song from iTunes

I tried to play a song on iTunes, but it says I have to locate it. I accidentally deleted it and emptied the trash (i know, genius), and when I try to download it again from the store, it wont let me. Instead of a "download" button it's a "play" button.

The song shows up in my itunes library as if it's already downloaded. When i show the songs on the cloud, all that shows up is the U2 album.

Can't download purchased songs from itunes store.

I recently had my laptop and itouch stolen. I now have a new laptop and itouch and would like to download the already purchased songs from the itunes store onto my new laptop. The itunes store has the songs in my purchase history but I can't find the option to download them again. I tried buying a song again to see if it would state that I had already purchased the song and that I could download it for free. But it only asked me if I would "like to buy it again". Surely their must be a way to download the songs again onto my new laptop. Any help would be great.

Was your backup copy stolen as well?
If so, you can try e-mailing itunes support to see if they will make an exception, although they are under no obligation to do so.

Download error (8003) can not download all purchased content - Please help?

I have tried everything short of deleting my apple tv and starting again (already done the soft resets).

Laptop is nearly full, so downloading to that and syncing is not really an option... just want thew apple tv to do what is advertised.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP
thanks

try this, I could not find anything specific about that error code:
Solution
Deleting the cached video files of the download, and starting the download again from the beginning, often will resolve this issue.
To find the cached video downloads:
1. Navigate to the downloads folder on your system. This folder can be found in the following locations:
Mac:
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads
Note: The tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista:
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\
Windows XP and 2000:
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\
2. Locate the folder that contains the cached video file for this purchase.
In Windows Vista, the folder will be named for the purchased video, and the name will end with .tmp.
Example: The Dundies.tmp
In Windows XP and Windows 2000, the folder will be named for the purchased video, and the name will end with .m4v.tmp.
Example: The Dundies.m4v.tmp
3. Move the .tmp folder for the affected purchased video to the Trash or Recycle Bin.
4. Open iTunes.
5. From the Store menu, choose Check for Purchases.
6. Enter your account name and password and click the Check button.

I can't load my songs from itunes to my Ipod. How can I get help?

I have a new iPod. I have succesfully installed iTunes on my computor and loaded music from my CD's. I can't download the songs from iTunes to my iPod Nano.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
