How can I download past purchases that are not in my icloud? Somehow I lost songs it says that the orginal files can not be located. They are still available in the store but it doesn't give me the option to download them. I did not delete any songs or files but I am missing a lot of files
The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
If you have to resort to trying to pull back the library from your iPod see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Note also that if iTunes has an entry for a song, even if that entry is broken, then it won't offer that track for download since it "thinks" you already have it. If you can't find the original files or recover them from a device, then you may need to delete the broken entries, close iTunes and reopen before you can access the past purchases.

I got a iphone 5 but it does not work on my MacBook with Mac OSx 10.5.8 it says i need OSX 10.6.8 but it will not download because I need OSX 10.6 but it would load either. How do I get the older operating system to work with the IPhone5?
You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

How can I download adobe flash for an imac intel using 10.4.11? This disappeared recently and although I go to adobe and download successfully, when I try to access video on web it says I need to download adobe. Very frustrating. Can anyone help?
Looking at Adobe's site there is version 10.3 for Intel Macs running OSX 10.4 or 10.5. There is version 11 for Macs running OSX 10.6 or newer. Most web sites don't really need the newest FlashPlayer, but if you are trying to view one that really does intensive video then maybe it does require Flash 11. You aren't very specific as to which exact error message you are seeing.
If a site does require FlashPlayer 11 then you will have to upgrade your operating system. -

How can I transfer a 18 minute video I recorded on my iPad camera app to email/youtube or vimeo? I keep getting the message the file is too long do want to send clips?
ThanksYoutube usually had an 8 minute length cap, which may be part of your issue. Also at 18 minutes that is probably a gig+ file size, which will also take a long time to upload and may be another part of the issue.
Edit it down as jim suggested. Or you may need to use something like dropbox, to get it off your ipad and onto a computer where might have more options to edit it down or size it down.
If it's just file size you can transcode it into a smaller file - a lower quality MP4 for example. If it's the length that's an issue for youtube, you'll need to break it up into a couple different files and upload part 1 and part 2 -
My computer tells me I purchased Rod Stewart's Christmas album. I DID NOT. How do I get iTunes to cancel the purchase. Also, this thing has suddenly started playing when I turn on my computer. How do I make it stop?
It is probably too late to cancel it, but contact the iTunes store support staff at http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html and see what they can do for you.

I asked, "how do I get my songs from my itunes library to my ipod?" and you said to sync it to the ipod. I saw that at one time on the left side, but it's not there anymore. I tried clicking on "file" and then on sync, but it didn't work. The word was lighter than the others, so I figured I would not be able to click on it.
If the iPod is no longer recognized in iTunes click here. iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

I just received the new OS 6.0 update and it did not load Siri? Anyone know what I need to do to get Siri?
That is what I said. Siri is only on the iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPod Touch 5th Generation and new iPad (3). They all have advanced noise reduction/voice recognition hardware that is not included in other models.

All my files appear gone, but I didn't delete anything and the capacity is still accounted for
I'm looking to update my old 2007 Macbook from Mac OS 10.5 to 10.6, but I've run into a problem..
Before I've even got to copying the .iso file I have (file in on my Macbook Pro at the moment) onto the computer I've gone to delete all of my music and other data so I have room as there was currently only about 400MB available on the hard drive. If I go into any folder, all my data appears to be gone.. Documents is empty, Movies is empty, Pictures is empty, Music has the iTunes folder but otherwise empty. I never deleted any of this stuff, and the capacity of the drive according to Finder is just as I'd expect it to be. My desktop picture is the same so that file at least is still there...somewhere!
Can anyone shed some light onto how I can make these files visible? They're obviously still there, just not accessible..Hmmm, in Sys Prefs>Acounts, how many users show up there.
Let's see if we can find any of those files...

Hi, I chaned my apple id on my mainframe computer and imac and purchased a book. I cannot upload the book on either my ipad or my iphone. I tried changing the settings on the ipad, but still no book. I had no trouble accessing purchased items before chaning my id.
Hi grace132,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The following articles should help you with this. If you change your Apple ID, you need to update those changes in other services that use it, like the iTunes Store.
You will also need to sign out of the iTunes Store on your devices and sign in with the Apple ID you used to make the purchases in order to access them.

It just returns to submenu from which I selected them. Have tried removing the files from my library and reloading them and resynching, but the problem remains.
Any ideas?Do these same tracks play okay in iTunes? What file format are they in? If they are mp3s, try running them through MP3Validator to look for any missing or corrupt metadata/tags.

I Downloaded the Yosemite upgrade and went to install it on my iMac. The install failed saying file System needed repair. Ran disk utility could do the verify but the repair button was grayed out. When I tried to change startup disk back it wouldn't let me , saying it couldn't gather enough file info. So I'm stuck and can't boot my Mac. How do I get out of this?
Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Try to reboot normally.

My search engines do not work. I can access all my bookmarked items but I cannot perform any new searches. This problem has been happening since this morning. I followed all the troubleshooting steps that I could find and nothing has worked.
Just to make sure, did you check the ring/silent button on the side of the phone? If it is set to "mute" you can still hear your selected ringtone in settings/sound, for example.
