How to get itunes on mac if PC is dead

my pc is dead which contains all my itunes music. is there anyway to find and download my mac without the other computer? is there some master server i can find? so confused.

is there some master server i can find?
No. Your music is only on your computer, CDs and backups.
Sounds like you did not backup as recommended.

  • How to get iTunes and Mac OS 10.5 to leave my file organization alone

    I’ve organized my MP3 files for iTunes (using Mac OS 10.5.6) on a MacBook Pro. I did this manually since I have over 600 folders and thousands of song files. iTunes had created a mess. For example some albums were split up into different artists, composers or album names. Some files names began with a space or a dash, so they were our of alphabetical order. There were all kinds of nonsence with duplicated files etc. Once I got things all cleaned up and orderly I tried to make a backup of the master list by copying the files to a peripheral hard drive. The backup folders instantly reverted and even compounded the chaos that I had just fixed! If I delete all files from iTunes and reimport I end up with the same mess. How can I get iTunes and Mac OS 10.5 to leave my organization the way I want it and not revert to the old mess?

    I don't understand.
    If you uncheck *Copy files to iTunes music folder...* and *Keep iTunes music folder organized*, iTunes will not mess with the files unless you are RIPping them from CD using iTunes.
    How do I change the tags so they are organized the way I want.
    I don't know how you want them organized.
    iTunes uses the tags and puts them into Artist/Album folders based on the ID3 tags.
    If you are not using iTunes to organize stuff and simply naming things as you want, tags are irrelevant to how you put the files into folders and what you name the files.
    When I copy the master list (with my organization) from one peripheral drive to another the files show up with the old names and folders.
    Okay.

    Loaded 10.5.0.142 on PC running XP.  iPhone 3GS not recognized - doesn't show up as a device.  Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling 10.5.  Any suggestions on how to get iTunes to recognize my iPhone?

    I don't think this will fix your problem with restoring your iPhone 4 though. That is likely a seperate issue.
    but i can do it with any windows?
    Yes, you can theoretically restore your iPhone with any computer running the most current version of iTunes (10.6.3) unless there is some other issue.
    I get error code(21)
    According to this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error21:
    "These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service."
    Do you run any anti-virus or third-party firewalls on your computer? Try disabling them and trying the restore process again. It may be possible that one of these security applications is interfering with the iPhone's ability to authenticate with Apple's servers.

  • How do you get iTunes to list JUST broken or dead links?

    I would like to know how to get iTunes to show just broken links (aka Dead Links) much like how you can select it to show just duplicate songs/links
    My Internal Harddrive (HD) had a glitch afew weeks ago and I had to reformat and reinstall. Before any of that happened tho I had made a complete backup copy of the "My Music" folder (Which included the iTunes folder with its database and everything else) to a external HD.
    After getting the interal HD back up and running, I just copied everything within the "My Music" folder off the external and into the "My Music" folder on my Internal C Drive. During the copy process is when I found out that whatever glitch had happened had also affeced some of the MP3 files I had backed up on the external. Windows was able to copy all of the iTunes folder with its database and half of the MP3's The other half it couldn't tho.
    Now when I open iTunes being that the database was copied over and all songs that were recovered are exactly where they were before they show up I have no problems there. But the songs that were not recovered are listed in the iTunes Library, just has broken links tho since they do not exist anymore.
    It would make things ALOT easier if I could just get iTunes to show only the broken links. This would make a PERFECT list of all the songs I have missing. I could then know exactly which songs I need to rip again using iTunes or download so I can point these dead links to files and finish updating my iPod.

    OK I have finally got this question somewhat answered, I went and used the Javascript at http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/FindDeadTracks.txt the first time, followed the rules of using "Save as" and changing the .txt at the end to .js and got errors running it.
    The Second time tho, instead of just using "save as" I realized the first lines of this text are not code but just directions. Someone might know of a shorter way of doing this but I Highlighted only the code itsself and saved that (Example Below):
    /* Rename me to FindDeadTracks.js
    Double Click in Explorer to run
    Script by Otto - http://ottodestruct.com */
    var ITTrackKindFile = 1;
    var iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application");
    var deletedTracks = 0;
    I just skipped the "Rename me to ........" Highlighted "var ITTrackKindFile " And everything below it. After saving this and running it, The script opened iTunes poped up how many dead tracks it found in a pop up window and (Without saying) had made a Text File of all the songs that were dead tracks in the "My Documents" Folder.

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

    Hello, joegoducks. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

    Dear Michael, good day!
    1. As per your instruction, I turned off iTM.
    Small discrepancy – where are two screens with iTM switch:
    -Settings > iTunes & App Store. 
    -Settings > Music
    I switched OFF in both.
    NB: I turned device to English for convenience.
    2. My next step was Setting > General > Usage – tapped {Music};
    {All music} screen appeared; I swiped it and taped Delete. 
    3. I performed “hard reset” …………………………………..
    4. Switched back On iTM
    5. Taped Music app on Home screen
    iTM has started –  (it took 18 minutes  to completed, 60 mbps Wi-Fi speed )
    Regret to inform… All the same:
    Erase and reset to factory default? Or I did smf wrong?

  • DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE DOWNLOAD MAC OSX 10.7.0 BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY I CANT FIND IT

    DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE DOWNLOAD MAC OSX 10.7.0 BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY I CANT FIND IT

    AS mentioned, you need 10.6.8 & the App Store first, it's not available any other way, & 10.7 instead of 10.8 requires a call to Apple...
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
    Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273
