Help using iTunes on my hardrive..
I recently purchased a hardrive to move all my music too from my laptop as it was running very slowly. I moved all my music over and installed iTunes on the hardrive. This works ok however i cannot get it to sync with my iPod anymore. Is there a way to solve this or do i have to re-install itunes back onto my laptop
Cheers guys
p.s. I have an iPod nano 3rd gen.
Have you bought music with the iPhone? If you have, first sync the phone with your husbands computer and be sure the purchased music gets transfered over to his computer. Once all is backed up on his computer, sync the phone with your computer(this will wipe everything on your phone and replace it with your iTunes library). You can copy the music from your husband's computer via a network connection(wi-fi) or burn a data CD/DVD and copy the music over to your iTunes library.
Note, any contacts you have manually put into your phone will be lost when you sync your phone to your computer. Be sure you have those contacts saved somewhere else.

Help; Using iTunes match to transfer from iPad to new PC
Regarding iTunes match. My PC crashed and the only other place I have my library is on my iPad (shame on me). I bought iTunes match last night to upload my library from my iPad so I could get it onto my new PC, but when I went to turn Match on in my iPad, it said it will delete over my existing library and replace it with songs in the cloud. I DO NOT WANT THIS to happen! The iPad is the place I want to transfer FROM. Of course my purchases are there in the cloud, but Match is for sharing/transferring all music, including burned cd collections, which is the majority of what I have. I don't dare turn on Match unless I know that my music library (and burned cd collection) on the iPad will FIRST be uploaded to the cloud and THEN written over. It says this nowhere on Apple pages. Please please help.
Hi,
iiTunes match scans your library on your computer not your ipad. So you will need to transfer your music from your ipad to your computer. If your music has not been added to your computers library, you are likely to lose music on your ipad.
You will need an app to do the transfer. This doc may help Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

Help using itunes in mini ipad
Hi,
I have bought $200 itunes and am trying to use them on a new mini ipad, but it asks for my credit card security 3 digit code to proceed.
I no longer have the credit card, what can I do?
ThanksWell you're not alone in getting surprised by that Mac requirement. Apple has never much flinched about backward compatability. Their new OS's often leave the past completely behind, unlike Windows which tries to keep old things running through the updates (which isn't always a good thing, mind you). Apple's MO makes for a cleaner, more stable transition but it does force you to make decisions. Get the latest and abandon old programs, or soldier on with the old ways and forget about using anything new. I think you'll be glad you chose to upgrade. I just wish Apple (as well as Microsoft) would make these ultimately necessary upgrades cheaper!

Help using ITunes when offline
The system that I use for ITunes at work is offline. I have my itunes libary on it and when I try to send music to the ipod it continually tries to go online-- password window opens up. I cannot click on one song without it popping up and I have to cancel it. How do I have ITunes recognize my use offline?
Although the following article focusses upon using music in podcasts, the same restrictions apply to websites:

I just want to get some help using itunes. I have downladed music - paid for music, and can't get it into itunes. When I used th e'support' thing it just wanted to know my Mac serial numbers!! I don't have a Mac I hace a standard non Mac PC. So why can't I get help with itunes? Its taken me half an hour to get into this support thing because every single name I chose was taken!!!! Its just a nightmare. I hate it!
And now it tells me I must 'choose a community' and itunes isn;t listed! It gets worse! So I chose any community because this is just a never ending nightmare. 40 minutes ago now I clicked on support for itunes and I ended up here!Thanks again. I bought two albums. I've no idea what I use to open a zip file. I just tell it to open and it ususally does but this time Windows media player won't do it!
I am in the UK and its 23.43 so I have to give up and go to bed now. As I said I have had no probes with Amazon downloads. I did email CD baby for help but they just sent the links that you offered earlier.
I have tried to burn to CD so I can listen that way but though I go through all the motions I can't add the tracks to the burn list by copying and pasting, and I can't 'drag the tracks here' beacuse the tracks aren't showing, just the whole album folder. It looks like this:
SO02294360-catherinefeeny12-mp3 (1).zip
file:///C:/Users/User/Downloads/SO02294360-catherinefeeny12-mp3.zip

Have to give up for today and go to bed but your responses are very much appreciated. Thank you -
Hi there,
I've been having some problems with my iTunes library and I really need help.
It all started when I wanted to restore my iphone because it being slow!! It then said that there wasn't enough space on the hard drive. So in my infinite cleverness (that I don't have!!) I'm not really sure what I did. But I accidentally deleted all my music files and then from the recycle bin I've got them back but they aren't in album folders anymore it's just one long list of songs.
My iTunes library is empty of all things so if i add these files to iTunes will it arrange them into it (not in iTunes program) but in the windows folder? Does iTunes copy the original music file to the 'iTunes media' file?
If so what's the best settings for iTunes?
Store the original music files on c: or external HD and then do i need to choose the organize and copy setting on iTunes? and if so, where too?
So the c: drive is full and the d: has got some stuff but not sure what it is. But it has 90 odd gb of free space!!
The laptop is 4 years old so it's full of crap. Basically!!
Please help.Using iTunes, you cannot sync from the iPod to your computer. If you want the songs on both computers, you will have to manually copy all your songs to the other computer, add them to that iTunes library, then sync.
Alternatively, you can manually manage the iPod, which will let you play the songs on the computer without the songs (only when the iPod is connected), but you will not be able to copy them into your iTunes music library using iTunes alone. -
I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes. All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone. I am unable to locate them on my computer. HELP!!!
OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this. -
I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

Kernel panics:
After taking my late 2009 15 inch macbook pro to the apple store, the genius completely erased my computer and reinstalled the Mac OS X software, but the problem still persists.
I also took it to my college tech support center, they tried to take the ram out and reinsert it and clean up the dust, but the problem still remains.
I am able to use my computer in Safeboot mode (only)
Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on

Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about. -
HT1420 Help I've hit the limit of my authorized computers to use iTunes.
Can someone help me with the following questions to help me free up some computers for my 5 computer authorized computer limit to iTunes.
Is it possible to get a list of which computers are authorized? This would be helpful so I can find the computers I want to deauthorize.
Is there any way to remote deauthorize computers? I've had a number of computers over they years which I have used iTunes on and most of them have died so I am unable to deauthorize them (I'm probably not the only one with this problem). This would so help those with stolen computers.
Does "authorized computer" include iPads and iPods? I would know the answer to this if I could get a list of authorized computers. I hope not, because between my family there are currently 2 Mac PCs, 3 Windows Laptops, 3 iPods, 2 iPads (which adds up to more than 5) all of which access my iTunes account.1) No.
2) Deauthorize all.
3) No, ONLY computers.

I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc. Any help... From my PC I can only access "internal storage"
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone. The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality -
My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes. Windows has all the most recent updates too. I can reset the iPod, but the message to Use iTunes to restore comes back and I am stuck.
Already tried another USB port, still nothing.
I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.
It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.
