How do I get my iPhone4 to recognise and play my music in iTunes?

Hi,
I have a new iPhone4 and an old iTunes account. Even though I can sync with iTunes (and see my music in iTunes), I can't see any albums or any music on the phone - it tells me that I have 'no content').
What can I do?
Many thanks,

I should also mention that you can automatically download purchases made on other devices by enabling automatic updates:
iOS Device: Settings > iTunes & App Stores >Automatic Downloads
Computer: iTunes > Preferences > iTunes Store > Automatic Downloads

How do I get my iPod classic 160GB to upload my music to iTunes in my new Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5?

How do I get my iPod classic 160GB to upload my music to iTunes in my new Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5?

That would be via home sharing.
Make sure it's enabled in iTunes (file - home sharing) and Apple TV (settings - computers)
You would then access on Apple TV using the computer icon. Your computer would need to be on and running itunes

How can I get Japanese characters to show up for my music in iTunes?

I am not exactly sure what generation my iPod is, but it says copyright 2004 on the back. It is 20 GB. It has no problems displaying Japanese characters if a particular song of mine is Japanese. I have my iPod set up to manually manage music. I like to carry my iPod between home and work. At both home and work, I use PCs with Windows XP Pro installed. I also use the latest version of iTunes (ver. 7.1.1.5).
However, I have run into a weird problem. On my home computer, my iTunes displays Japanese characters perfectly fine, but on my work computer, whenever there is a Japanese character, iTunes does not recognize it and puts an ugly "square" character in its place. How do I get my iTunes to display these Japanese characters properly?
Thanks.

Well I just answered my own question. I needed to install the files for East Asian languages via the WinXP Control Panel. So if anyone else runs into this problem, there ya go!

I bought a HD TV show accidently instead of SD, it will not load or play on my ipod classic. How do i get this reformatted or what to get the show on my ipod?

To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

Invisible folders/where are they and how do i get them to come out and play

I need to do a hack on fcp 4.5 to get it to work on a G5......and please dont ask why......lol......
apparently this hack requires me to find the invisible folder on the installation disk of 4.5.......
how do i call out the spirits and get the invisible to be visible?
I've tried a blow dry and that has not worked......
thanks
rob

yeah??
thanks for your help as well.....
it's just amazing how people read too much into posts on forums and add there own interpretations......my original post was frustration.....not anger or yelling....but others took it the wrong way and sent my post into left field....
by reading this link this guy had the same problem as me and asked the same questions as to why apple would do this when he could use the latest version of photoshop with no problem.....adobe had no such restrictions on their software.....
i just find it disappointing that apple has done this......because all it took was deleting 6 lines of code that should not have been there in the first place.....
but all is well now.....fcp is screaming and i now need to work....

How did I get an album cover 17 times when downloading music from itunes to my ipod and how do I get rid of the duplicates?

I am pretty new to an ipod. I finally got itunes on my computer, was able to download from computer to ipod classic, but somehow ended up with 2 album covers showing 17 times for one and 16 times for the other. I really don't have a clue how this happened or how to fix it. The music it self is not duplicated just the album covers.

1) Plug in your iPod.
2) Wait for an 'iPod' button to appear at the top right corner of iTunes.
3) Open that.
4) Go to the 'Music' tab.
5) Sync music.
WARNING: This WILL delete all your music you had on your iPod prior to this.
To add songs without syncing:
1) Create an iTunes playlist with the songs you wish to add.
2) Repeat steps 1 - 3 above.
3) Go to the 'On this iPod' tab.
4) Select your playlist you just made on the bar at the bottom of the list beside the 'Autofill from...' prompt.
5) Press 'Autofill'.

How do I get MOV files to display and play?

I'm running FF 21.0 on a MacBook. The action in my Preferences > Applications is "Use QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6 (in Firefox).
When I go to www.BluestoneMojo.com/videos.html and click on any of the video links, the MOV file does not display on the target page. Because the file doesn't display, I can't play the video. When I use either Chrome or Safari, the files display and play. So the problem seems to be with FF.

Your System Details List shows the QuickTime plugin.
Do you see an enabled QuickTime plugin on the about:plugins page with a video/quicktime content type?

How do I get my ipad to recognise my pdf attachments as pdfs?

My ipad does not always recognise a pdf file as as incoming mail attachment, so I cannot always open the pdf in another app.
Although the attachment shows as a paperclip in the mail header, sometimes the content of the attachment is displayed in the body on the email. When this happens I don't get the small square window at the top right corner of the screen where you can select another app to open the pdf.
How do I get my ipad to recognise my pdf attachments as pdfs and not show the content in the body of the mail message?

This is from page 44 of the iPad User Manual:
Open a meeting invitation or attachment: Tap the item. If the attachment can be used by multiple apps, touch and hold to choose an app that works with the file.
Based on this, I suggest trying this:
Touch and hold an area of the PDF file that displays in the body in your email. Do you get the behavior described in the manual above?

How do I get I tunes to recognise my i pod shuffle 4th generation,as I keep getting fault message (2005)

Hello there, CliveFromBR.
The following Knowledge Base article covers the issue you're having with error 2005:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error2001
Specifically the following:
Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How do I get my iPad to recognise printer hp 1217nfw, I have a d-link router?

How do I get my iPad to recognise my printer hp 1217nfw, connected with a d-link router?

Don't know if you ever got this figured out but here is the answer...
I just spent the last two days on this and have finally sorted it out. It actually isn't that hard to do but for some reason, no one has consolidated the information in one place!
First and foremost, make sure that you have all the latest and greatest firmware updates for your printer, your computer and your mobile devices.
Next, you need to connect your printer to your network via an ethernet cable, this is the only way to get in to the printer softare to configure it for your wireless network.
Navigate the printer menus on the keypad to Reports>Config Report and print this report. It will provide you with the IP adress and IPv4 address for the printer.
With the printer connected to your network and powered on, point your browser to the IP address of the printer. If this doen't work (it didn't for me) use the IPv4 address.
This will open the configuration panel for the printer and will let you configure the wireless for the printer so that it can join your wireless network. You will see various tabs across the top. Select network. Then along the left you will see wireless. Choose that. Now you should see a list of wireless networks available including your very own home network. Choose that one, enter your password and hit apply.
Disconnect the ethernet cable and you should be ready to Airprint from all devices. This worked for me, I can't imagine it won't work for all...then again...

I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano. The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one

I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano. The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one?

My mistake, it was nothing to do with format. It woldn't sync because my movies were HD. HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod. Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions. Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

How can I get my IMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner? It prints!

How can I get my iMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner? It prints!@

I had a similar problem right after the first update to 10.6.7, which happened to quite a few people. It took a couple of software updates and then an HP printer update to fix it. So make sure that all your software updates are up to date. Mine is an older printer: C6280 All-in-one but scans fine now that my mac recoginises it. You might want to check on the HP site also.
It was really frustrating because it had worked fine before.
