Had to do system recovery, now can't download some items on ipod

I had to do a system recovery on my computer and unfortunately have lost my intall disk for my ipod. Now, itunes will allow me to link my ipod to download songs, but some of my purchases, it will not recognize. Is there a way to download the softward for the Ipod video so that I can add in the serial number of it, etc so it knows that my ipod is the one that should be linked? Hope this makes sense since I am not the most technologically savvy.
Thanks for any help!

Now, itunes will allow me to link my ipod to download songs, but some of my purchases, it will not recognize.
try playing one of the purchases in itunes for a few seconds. do you get asked to authorise the PC? if so, and if you do, will the purchases transfer to the ipod afterwards?

  • Had to remove firefox and now can't download to re-install

    Due to 'someone' downloading something and getting malware, which should now be gone, but to clear completely removed firefox. Now using IE (yuk) tried to download FF. The firefox setup screen comes up and the rolling progress bar is going across the page but for 20 mins nothing more.

    hi again, please perform all these steps if you suspect that you have malicious software present:
    # [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    # afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    # finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

  • Installed- and fixed- iTunes 7.6 and now can't load 100 items onto iPod

    Hi,
    I just got done fixing my compatability issue with iTunes 7.6 (error -2096) and when I tried to update my iPod it says that 100 items were not copied to my iPod because it (or my computer, I'm not exactly sure) are not authorized to play them. Can anybody help me with this? I'm getting very frustrated with iTunes.
    Thanks,
    Katherine

    I found a fix to get the computer to play the music, but I haven't found a fix to get the ipod to sync.
    To get the music to play you have to delete a quicktime file.
    Go to my computer, click on your locak disk, choose 'documents and settings', choose the user, click on 'local settings, click on 'application data', click on 'apple computer', click on quicktime, then delete the quicktime file. Reopen itunes and you should be able to authorize and play music.
    Now if we can figure out how to authorize the ipod . . . .

  • Had to do system recovery Help!

    My computer kept shutting down on its own I had to do system recovery and lost everything on my computer. I reloaded the Itunes software and of course all my music is now gone. It took me forever to have my music on itunes just like I wanted and most of my music was from CD's I own. How can I just import all the music from my Iphone into Itunes. I don't want to loose it from my phone also and I can't do it from Itunes because I did not buy music directly from itunes.

    Shouldnt matter if you didnt buy the songs directly from itunes or not. You will just have to reload everything back to your computer from the cds. It impossible with the iphone to get them off and back into the computer. Its possible with an ipod if every media file was transfered from your computer to the ipod. Even if you downloaded illegally is still possible to reload back into itunes.
    I suggest buying or borrowing a large hard drive. I havent come across a problem with taking your previousely purchased cds and not being able to load them back into the computer because of itunes. It is tediouse but there no restrictions when you sync back up.

  • Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes for my ipod how can I find this or how can I put my music from my ipod onto itunes

    Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes, how can I transfer it from my ipod into itunes, or how can I find the original one?

    Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
    As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

  • MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

  • HT4205 Bought my iPod from a friend and created my own iTunes account. When I updated this I now can't download any of the programs he had on this when I bought it! How do I get those programs back'?

    Can't download Facebook, some games and iBooks because I don't have the right operating system but I can't download a newer version....anyway around this?

    Purchase a newer model iPod. You have a 2G iPod , those can only go to iOS 4,2.1 and many apps now require a higher version.

  • My centre button has stopped working and my top lock button has stopped working too. I've had this iPhone 2 years now, can I take it into apple and swap for another phone or am I not covered? Thanks

    My centre button has stopped working and my top lock button has stopped working too. I've had this iPhone 2 years now, can I take it into apple and swap for another phone or am I not covered? Thanks

    The standard Apple warranty is 1 year. I believe you can purchase AppleCare+, which extends the warranty to two years from the date of purchase. This extended warranty needs to be purchased within 30 days of the purchase date for the phone.
    If you have the extended warranty, you may be able to get a replacement phone at no cost. You will need to make an appointment at an Apple Store Genuis Bar and have them take a look at the phone.
    If you did not purchase the additional warranty coverage, you should be able to purchase an Out-of-Warranty replacement, which is $199 for the iPhone 4S.

  • I was trying to sync my 120GB iPod Classic earlier and it said it couldn't sync as the iPod disk could not be "read" or "written to". I now can't get anything onto my iPod, and I was wondering if it is a hard drive problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location.  Select the location of your on external hard drive.

  • I recently purchased a used imac with os 10.6 The problem I am having the admin in accounts in system preferences I would like to change so I can download some items I have tried different things  to do this but I cannot figure it out. thanks

    I recently purchased a used imac with os 10.6 The problem I am having the admin in accounts in system preferences I would like to change so I can download some items I have tried different things  to do this but I cannot figure it out. thanks in advance.

    Thats the problem I bought it from a very large thrift store. i went back asked the person where I bought the computer he said we can not give you the password. I thought buying it there was a good idea because not only was it a nice deal but it was like I was maknig a donation. I know that i messed up because i do not have the installation disk. I bought it without thinking. Until recently I was still using an old G4 9.0 os. I guess you can say I have been out of the loop for a while.
