Don't Have Music Saved To Computer - DO Have FLAC already... What's Best Option To B/U Entire Ipod with Artwork?
Ok, so I recently got a 160 GB ipod classic for Christmas, LOVE it. Loaded a ton of music, most of the space is taken up. Loaded everything in ALAC for the best quality. I did not save the music onto my computer as I went along, due to space available. I deleted as I uploaded each chunk of music to the pod. Here’s my question…. It took a lot of time to upload all of my music. A lot of the artwork I had to manually add etc…. I really don’t want to ever have to do this again, if something happens to my ipod or I get a new one. Now, I DO have all my music backed up in FLAC on an external hard drive… I know that format is not compatible with ipods, but is it easily able to be converted to ALAC if need be? I even have artwork from all my cd’s scanned on the drive as well. OR is there an easy way I can transfer all my music, including all art from my ipod to an external hard drive? Any advice/input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
Note: ALL of my music is loaded from my cd's, none is bought via itunes.
Move your current library to your external drive. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device to pull the media on the device back into it.

Have iPhones in UK, maybe moving to USA. What's best option?
I started 2 new iPhone 3G contracts in January for my wife and I. One at £45 p/m, the other at £35 p/m.
It's possible we'll be moving to the USA later this year. Don't know exactly when yet, but it could be October. By that point we'll be 8 or 9 months into the contracts.
I'd like us both to have iPhones in the USA.
Any suggestions as to the best way to do this?
Take them over to USA and start new AT&T contract? (will the phones work?)
Sell the handsets?
Can I cancel our contracts and pay a cancellation fee?
All suggestions welcome.I'm guesing your with O2 being in the UK it's still worth checking with your carrier to see if they can unlock the iPhones (with an ETC and unlock fee of course) if you can do that you should be able to take the iPhones with you and then get a contract in the US
Especially since the laws in the UK are very similar to the ones here in Aus and we can do it here.

I already have music on my computer but how do i get it onto my phone? Do I need to get it onto Itunes then download it?
If the music is in your music file or on an external hard drive (windows) then, on iTunes, go to file>add to library and then choose what you want to add. Then sync music to your iPhone and your done.

I have music on another computer that no longer works and did not back it up. Can Apple somehow retrieve it for me?
If they were purchases from iTunes then have you checked to see if you can re-download them (it's not possible in all countries), assuming that they are still available in the store : re-downloading ? If you aren't in a country where you can re-download past music purchases and you haven't got a backup, then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Can I have 2 accounts on my iPhone. I have 2 on my computer and have a signal that 1 email is in my inbox. It is an iCloud message but I can't access it. Hope someone can help. Thanks, Lorna
You can only have one active iCloud account and one iTunes account. Are you by chance refering to email accounts defined in the mail app? If so, if one of the accounts (a non-iCloud account) is a POP account, then an email is usually sent to one device. Once sent, the email is deleted from the server, thus other devices never get copies. That's how POP works.

My imac is a 2009 model. It won't turn on. I have been told it could be the video card.What are my options?, My imac is a 2009 model. It won't turn on. I have been told it could be the video card.What are my options?
It could also be the power supply. Do you have a backup of the OS. If you have a near by Apple Retail Store I would bring it in and let them do a diagnostic on it to find out for sure. Once you know what it is for sure, you can decide whether to fix or replace.

Basically I didnt have enough room to consolidate my itunes libary on my C drive, I moved them to my D, they then were no longer in my itunes libary, I moved them back but the songs are still no longer in my libary. This is not a major issue, the problem is getting all my music into a itunes media folder and then consolidating it without the use of iTunes.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
Launch iTunes.
That is all you need to do. -
Hi! I have an 8th generation ipod and have purchased a new laptop with windows 8. I purchased new songs on itunes and can't seem to transfer them to my ipod now. Doesn't give me an option to check the box under albums like I had to do before my new computer purchase. I have authorized this computer to accept itunes. Not sure what else to do. Don't want to lose all my songs already synched. Help! Thanks!
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

I have purchased a new computer and am trying to move my library to it. I got rid of my old computer. I have tried to input my new c.p.u. serial # but i-tunes rejects it as an "invalid" s.n. I checked with the manufacturer and they verified my serial number as valid. Also, i would like to talk to somebody on the phone who represents i-tunes. Is that possible or am I just out of luck?

Still have music on my computer I don't want...
Is there a faster way to delete music of iTunes AND the hard drive? I need to free up space and it's time consuming to see if I have deleted a certain song off my iTunes and then have to find it in my hard drive and delete it again. Also, is there any way to get rid of songs that are still on the hard drive and not in iTunes in a more concise way... I have over 9000 songs and don't wanna listen to every song to see if I have deleted it from my library and still have it hiding out in my hard drive taking up space. thanks a bunch!!!
I assume from what you are describing that your actual music files are in various locations on your drive (and not just in the iTunes folder). Here is a script that may help - I have not run it myself so I don't know if it will put files in other locations in the trash but iTunes itself as far as I know cannot do this. Here is the link:

I hope this helps.

I have music on one computer but need to move to another
I am sure this has been asked several times but I have not been able to find a concrete answer. I have two laptops. The original one has tons of songs that have not been purchased through itunes but instead downloaded from CD's and an Itunes account they are saved to. I recently purchased a new computer that I started using the same itunes account with but cannot figure out how to get the music from the old computer with the itunes account to the new computer using the same itunes account without having to download all of the music again. Please help!
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
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 for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
