Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

When I attach USB flashdrive to my new Mac Air no icon appears. I just finished downloading pictures off of old mac and that one worked as expected.The new computer doesn't show anything but when I pull USB out pompts message improper eject. Any ideas?

When I attached my USB flashdrive to my new Mac Air no icon appears and the same when I attached my new superdrive. I just finished downloading pictures off of my old Mac and that one worked as expected. The new computer doesn't show anything but when I pull the USB flashdrive out, a message prompts me with an improper eject notice. Any ideas on why no icon (a disc) appears and how can I get it to?

Open Finder preferences, click on the General icon in the toolbar. Check the boxes for what you want displayed on the Desktop. Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar and do the same for what you want displayed in the sidebar.

HT4847 Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

I found the solution .,,,
1) click on your current plan and press done your payment details will appear .
2) the first section is your plan and there is a botton "change" click on it
3) it will take you back to the upgrade options
4) press on the downgrade options
5) choose the 5 GB and the done botton will be enabled
6) click on it you'll back to the step number 2 , here read carefully you'll see that your changes will take effect after the current plan expired with the date.

Connected a flash drive but it doesn't show up in devices

I downloaded songs to my flash drive and i want to put them into i tunes but it doesn't show up in devices do I need to look somewhere else. Thanks

Your flash drive won't show up in iTunes, look for it in Windows Explorer, it will probably be labelled Removable Drive.

My husband's Ipod touch classic doesn't show up in devices or on our account in our new computer. I've looked at many tutorials without any luck. We can't transfer any new music to his device.

I have tried everything to add my husband's ipod to our new computer in Itunes. I have looked at many tutorials with no luck. Iexplorer allowed us to add all of the music from the Ipod classic to Itunes. However, I tried to add his device with a new library with no luck. For some reason, his Ipod isn't on my account in Itunes even though the majority of music he has purchased has been with my account. I can't figure out how to add his Ipod to my account. We have authorized the computer for his device. I want to make sure he has his own library because I don't want all of his music on my Ipad. Also, Itunes is updated. This is driving me crazy, and anybody who can help me will be very appreciated.

If it shows up in iTunes:
What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If it was previously been synced to a another computer/iTunes library the you can:
- Only sync using the manual method and then ony sync music and videos to the iPod.
- To sync all media yo need to:

Flagged Messages Mailbox Doesn't Show in iOS 6

A touted new feature in Mail.app for iOS 6 is the Flagged Messages mailbox, but it doesn't show for me although I'm using only a standard iCloud account. That is, the only e-mail account on my device is iCloud. The also-new VIP mailbox shows... Just not the Flagged Messages mailbox. I can't find a setting on the iOS devices, my Mac (running Mountain Lion) or on the iCloud website to enable the Flagged Messages mailbox.
What have I done wrong?

After talking to level two support to no avail....seems I have found a glich? Or maybe it's just the way it works.
1st you MUST have an email flagged.....second the flagged message must be in the general mailbox it arrived in, NOT moved to another folder within that mailbox. Works for me...Discovered this while on indefinite hold, lol.....

HT1351 I just bought a new ipad and it doesn't show under my devices when I plug it in. I was already set up with my ipod touch. I just want to have access to my apps and music that are already in my itunes. How do I find my ipad and sync it?

I just purchased an ipad. When I plug it in to my computer it won't show under devices in itunes. I already have itunes set up for my ipod touch. I just want to share the music etc thats already there with both devices. How do I get my computer to recognize that the ipad is there?

The latest model requires iTunes 10.7 or higher. Check iTunes to make sure you're running a compatible version. If so, see:

After hard drive replacement iPod Touch doesn't show up in Devices menu

I know this is an often-encountered problem, but I am tired of searching... I had to replace the hard drive on my MacBook after 14 months of service (that's another topic of discussion), I want to now sync my info on the iPod Touch with my computer, especially Address Book and iCal, but it doesn't show up in the Devices list. I have tried holding the Shift + Control keys on opening iTunes to no avail. What can I do?

Sorry, this is stupid, but I just reinstalled iTunes and it worked! Don't ask me why. I deleted the iTunes app that the guy at the store had installed, downloaded a new app and reinstalled it and it worked. Even while installing it my iPod Touch beeped and as soon as iTunes was installed it showed up in Devices. I synced the iPod with iTunes, making sure to fusion the data rather than replace the iPod data with the Mac Library. It took awhile because I have almost 3000 entries in my Contacts, but the Address Book was filled up along with iCal, so I am up and running again. Whew! I must add that I had updated the existing iTunes to the latest version, but that had not worked, so you have to completely reinstall. Now, on with the discussion of how a hard drive in a 1 year old MacBook could break and lose all its data...

HT201412 Why can't I get my iPad to go past the apple logo? The screen now has crazy lines all over it. Can't restore cause computer doesn't recognize it in device list.

When I was updating iPad 2 to newest iOS I interrupted the update by doing a reset. Now I can't do anything. Won't even show up as device on my computer so I can do a restore. Worked perfectly before I tried to do the update. I thought the update was messing up cause it seemed frozen about 1/4 way on the line that advances when you do an update. I held down home and power buttons for about 10 seconds and now there are colored lines and such moving across the screen. Can't do a restore from backup cause device not recognized. Other iPads are recognized so it's clearly the particular iPad that has the problem. What can I do?

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

Can anyone help with iTunes library not showing on iOS devices?

I cannot view my iTunes library on my iOS devices. The tabs that used to be at the bottom of both the music and video apps are no longer there. My appleTV sees it just fine though. I have tried turning home-sharing off and back on againon both the computer and iOS devices. Quitting apps on the iOS devices, and exiting iTunes on my mac, and restarting them again. Nothing has worked so far. All I get when I bring up either app is "No Content" and the store button. This started before the iOS 7 update. Has anyone seen this yet? Is there a fix for it? Thanks!

I used to see that in iOS6 once in a while. Close the apps and reboot the iPad and then look in the apps again. You know how to close the apps so close them first.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Unity Connection Speechview Transcriptions not showing on iOS devices

I finally got Speechview to work well, but unfortunately, the transcribed messages never show up on the iPhone/iPad. They do in Outlook..
Anybody seeing this issue?

I think I found the answer. If you enable the S/MIME option in the account settings on the iOS device, the transcriptions show up.
