Help...not even sure right forum...getting old music?

So my laptop crashed recently and i hadn't had a chance to back up purchased music. The ipod we have has a bad battery...when Iplug it into the laptop, it says "please wait very low battery" but never charges enough for the computer to even recognize its plugged in. I tried to go into windows explorer and select show hidden files....but nothing cmoes up. I want to transfer the songs I've paid for that are in that ipod, into itunes i just re downloaded so I can put them on my new ipod. Is there ANY way posible to do this????????????????????

Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications. It's your responsibility to make backup copies in case something goes wrong with your system, as unfortunately it apparently did in your case, and you lose all the information on your hard drive. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places. If your hard drive was erased and you don't have a backup of your purchased items, and can't get them from your iPod, you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your tracks.
If you haven't done so already, you can start a new thread and see if someone can help you get your iPod connected to your computer so you can get the tracks from it, if they were transferred to the iPod previously.
Otherwise, you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting) and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.
Good luck.

  • TS2755 Updated to ios 7, contacts that I have texted are all messed up, just get a phone number or part of a phone number listed when I text, no name. Not even sure my texts have gone through, no response from recipient.

    I have updated to ios 7 as has my daughter. Now when I send her a text all that shows up is her phone number or part of the number, not her name. I'm not even sure she is getting the texts because she hasn't responded at all. She is usually very prompt. Is this a glitch with the new ios?

    Actually you are not texting if she has an iOS device. Is the balloon the typing is in blue? Check your Settings>Messages and see if it is activated. You might want to call your daughter and ask her the same thing. Check her contact in your contacts app and see if the number is correct and everything is still there.
    Then go into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. This will not affect data. After that, if iMessage is activated, then try sending her a message.

    Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
    Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
    Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
    Kind regards,

    You will have to contact the person who's account was used to activate the phone, with iOS 7 and activation lock only the owner of an account can remove a device from their account.
    iOS 7 and activation lock : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    For info we are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your device numbers from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).

  • I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually.

    I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually since I have a iTouch and keep all my music there. HELP!!

    Have you tried deleting the songs from Settings?
    Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage (not the iCloud link!) -> Music and then click Edit to enable you to be able to delete.

  • I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives.  Later renamed external HDs.  I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive.  I'm not really sure how to get those source files back

    I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives.  Later renamed external HDs.  I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive.  I’m not really sure how to get those source files back and get rid of the extra long path to where the source files are now located. If I re-link files to their current catalog (many different paths to files in same catalog) can I merge (import catalogs) into one master catalog?  Will the new (Master catalog) have the correct link to the source file?  If not, how or can this be done?
    I have tried to explain my situation as clearly as I can.  Do you understand my situation?
    This maybe something you don’t have time to help me with.  If not can you suggest somewhere I can get an answer?  I really need help.  PLEEEZZZ HELP ME.

    Is there any solution (other than buying
    I really think 'buying' is the best solution on this one.  Ideally, you would have at least five internal hard drives.
    System
    Projects
    Cache/Scratch
    Media
    Exports
    Use externals and network drive only for backup.

    Contacts are not part of the backup.  Contacts, when using your phone as intended, are synched to your computer's Outlook, Address Book or with a cloud service.  If you haven't been using your phone as intended, then your contacts are gone.

  • Help.  not even sure what to call what i need.

    Hi all, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
    We are wanting to add an interactive app (may not be the right word) to our website where our customers can customize a package.  (for example, view the blue shirt with red pants and green shoes, or decide they want to see the red shirt instead)
    A click and drag would be nice, where they could click the items they want to build their package.
    What software would be used to create something like this?  Flash?
    and would it truly be considered an interactive app?  is there a name for something like this?

    Please use the "My Settings" link on the right to declare your OS X version. It may not matter in this case, but a lot of advice can depend on the OS X version.
    By the way, since your problem is really with Time Machine and not with a Time Capsule, a better place to post your message would have been in the Time Machine section for your OS X version.

  • At wits end on how to use line tool as guide?  Not even sure if correct.

    I have been trying for hours but maybe it just isn't possible.  This would seem to be the simplist way to do but maybe a better way?
    I have an area of a subject that I am trying to divide into four triangular segments.  I need to shade each area seperately.  I have drawn two individual lines that intersect, giving me the required shaped spaces.  Nothing was allowing me to work within each area until I used the magnetic lasso to individually select a quadrant.  Once I did so I was able to fill the quadrant with color.  The problem is when I hide the layer that was created just for the line, (because I DON'T want the line in the picture,) my entire result disappears, the line AND the color.
    I have tried many different ways to do this, I can't even list them all.  The program automatically created a shape layer for each line.  If I hide one of the shape line layers I can still see the result but when I hide the second line shape layer the shaded area and the line go away.
    What am I doing wrong?  Is there another way to accomplish what I want to do?
    Thank you very much fellow adobities.

    I'm wondering if when I create the layer for the line shape I need to do a separate layer for the actual shading?
    You don't have to (see my previous reply), but if you think you might want to experiment with different colours for the shading then I suggest you add a Solid Color Fill Adjustment Layer - one for each quadrant. Then it's easy to experiment with different colours - just double-click in the adjustment layer color section.
    If you've not used these before you work slightly differently. First select a quadrant , then add your Solid Fill Layer. Now if you need to refine the edges, with the layer selected, you paint in black or white. White lets your selected colour show through, black conceals it - this is because you are using a mask. In the layers panel you can see which areas are applied or not from the mask thumbnail.
    Give it a try. The other thing with this technique is you can experiment with the different blending options and opacity to achieve a specific result.

  • I need help with syncing my Ipod that has old music on it.

    My mother has an Ipod with music on it from a computer we've had in the past (i'm almost certain the songs were downloaded via cd). We no longer have that computer, and the current Itunes account only has the songs she's bought since then. She's spent several gift cards on the songs, only to realize that syncing those songs would delete her old songs. Is there any way to get the current songs on her current itunes? Please help : /
    She obviously no longer has those old cds, so that is not an option.

    Hi jacobfrommt,
    I believe that you may be able to acomplish what you are describing by using the Manually Manage option in iTunes. You may find the following articles useful:

  • Mp3 player is NOT an ipod- can I get my music on it?

    I have a sony mp3 player, not an ipod, and would like to put the music I have collected in iTunes on my player. I tried one song, and noticed the format is different (I think mp4?) and it would not play it. Is there any way to get the music I have on iTunes on my mp3 player? Would burning the songs to disc then putting them on my computer help?

    Any music and videos purchased on iTunes will not work on any other player other than iPods and iPhones as well as your computer. Sony MP3 players will not play music and videos purchased in iTunes because of the digital rights management included in every purchase.
    You can burn the music to disc. Have a great day.

  • I have an iPOD mini library and now have a IPhone 4S.  I updated my library and synced my phone to the library but can not figure out how to get the music library to download to my  iphone

    I have an iPod mini library which I have update. I now have an iPhone 4S which I have synced to the library using a MS XP computer. I can not figure out how to get the library to download to my iPhone?

    Thanks,  This caused me to go back and try again since the solution seemed so simple.  What I did was when it started downloading, it started with the iphones apps to my computer.  I did not want the apps downloaded on my computer so I stopped it.  If I would have waited, the music was uploaded right after the apps were downloaded.
