I have bought a new ipod touch and when i went to sync my music library on to it only a few songs went over, the ones that didnt had a ! next to them. I had no problem when using my last ipod touch but i was using a pc at the time not a mac though.

Hi there,
This usually meas that iTunes can't find the original files. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some tips on locating that lost media.

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. any soln ?

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Thank you a lot in advance.

I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes: Latest software versions of everything. No iPad, iPhone or Touch. Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this. The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX. I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today. Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped: Turned off IPV6. Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX). Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'. Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it). Here's my discoveries: Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.) iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts. So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing). Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether. No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED. That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan. Works for me, written using Chrome. The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch. This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet. Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.

You need to call your service provider, and ask them if your SIM card is activated.

I have a new IPhone5c and do not receive texts or calls from my daughter's phone. We did not have this problem with my old Envy Touch. Verizon is our provider. Can you troubleshoot?

Thank you.

Turn off iMessage in your phones settings. Apple devices can only use iMessage to other Apple devices.
Turning off iMessage will allow the messages to go as regular text messages.

I had to get my phone replaced, I did back it up. However when I went to sync my itunes to my phone, now ALL my music is all of the sudden not able to be found. As you can imagine I'm quite ******. Anyone know anything of this?

I also updated my itunes a couple days ago when i backed up my phone - could it have been that?

music is apart of a back up. however if you did not transferyour purchases before doing the back up you will have to re download them. to do so sign into itunes, on the right hand side under quick links you will see purchased. click on it and go to the music tab. all of your music will be there you will see a cloud next to them with an arrow pointing down that is where you download them there may also be an option to download all. you can do the same for any apps that you may have purchased also. after they have downloaded plug your device in and sync them back to the device. hope this helps

I transferred my music to a larger hard drive and when I went to sync to iTunes there half my library had a '!' next to the songs. After I located one song the question 'would you like itunes to find other missing files' came up. What does this mean?

I recently transferred my music from one external hard drive to another and when I went to sync it to iTunes half my music had a '!' symbol on the left side, which meant that the songs weren't located. When I went to locate one of the songs it asked me if I wanted iTunes to find other missing files, which I said yes. What happens next and what is iTunes doing to find the missing files?

iTunes is a database. When you import songs to the database, it records the location of that song, so that when you play, or sync the song iTunes knows where to look for it.
When you moved your music to a different location, iTunes can't find it because you didn't tell iTunes that you moved the music.
You'll have to re-add those songs that you moved to your itunes library. Your best bet is going to be to delete all the songs in your library and then go to File > Add folder to library > and then find your music folder on the new external hard drive.
Also, the external drive HAS to be connected in order for iTunes to find it.

Updated to new iPhone OS and now it wont finish syncing in iTunes 11.1.2

Hi,
I updated (iPhone 4) to new iPhone OS (7.0.3) and now it wont finish syncing in iTunes 11.1.2
I wind up having to just unplug the phone.
Also - everytime I plug the phone into computer, it asks me if I should trust this computer and I say yes - but it asks every time.
Also a flag pops up saying it cant connect to an apple server. (???)
(I am running Snow Leopard)
any suggestions?
thanks

You have to update to 10.6.8 first.

I have bought a new Iphone 4S and also own a Mac pro, also IPad. I did not install find my phone on the IPad, my IPad has either been misplaced (have tore the house up looking for it) or it has been stolen is there any way I can find where it is at

I resently purchased the New IPhone 4S, and I have a mac Pro, plus a IPad. I have misplaced my IPad or it has been stolen is there any way by using Find My phone it can be located Thanks Look for My IPad

Unless you set up MobileMe / Find My iPad on it before it was lost/stolen, then no, there isn't any way to locate it. If you did set up MobileMe on it then you could try locating it either via me.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on a another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or MobileMe disabled on it.
If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. As a safety precaution you should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

I have bought a new IPad 2 and I want to give my old one to my Daughter. How do I clear the old one and reinstall my appps to the new one?

You can copy any purchased items that aren't already on your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy everything over to the new iPad then you can back up the old iPad by right-clicking (command-clicking on a Mac) the iPad under Devices when connected to your computer's iTunes, and you can then restore that backup onto the new iPad.
When you are happy that eveything has copied over you can log out of you account on the old iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then wipe its content via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Setings.

I would like to erase my ipod touch and then resync it with my existing itunes library, is this possible?

I have a ipod touch that has a different library on it from an old (no longer usable) computer. I have another itunes library on my laptop that is very similiar but not exactly the same as the one on the ipod. Can I erase the ipod and sync it to the existing itunes library on this computer?
And once I do that can I also load my itunes library from my ipod to my new mac??
thanks

You can restore (via iTunes on your computer) your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync it to any library you want.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from an iPod to any computer w/iTunes by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can use one of the third-party programs discussion this previous discussion to transfer non-iTunes purchases to a computer:

I have a brand new iPad 2 and it is not being "seen" by iTunes for Windows (64 bit Win 7)

I originally had my iTunes library (music, apps, etc) on a MacBook. Used "home sharing" to drag over most of my collection to my new Windows 7 laptop. All apps, music, etc show up fine in iTunes on Windows but when I unpacked my new iPad 2 and plugged the apple cable into the USB port on my Windows laptop and the other end in my iPad 2, no synching occured nor did the iPad 2 show up on the left-hand list on iTunes.
Any idea what might be wrong? I did already try different USB ports. Each time I plug and unplug I get the audible notification from my laptop that the cable is disconnected and/or connected. so it's not a hardware issue.

A Couple of questions..
Is the location shown under preferences/Advanced/General still showing the correct location?
Is the check boxes under this checked or unchecked?

I downloaded a book to my Ipad and when I went to sync with Itunes on my PC- it removed the book from my Ipad, but shows it on the PC. I have it "checked" to be synced but it still does not show up on my Ipad? This also happened after I downloaded IOS 5

I downloaded a book on my Ipad and after syncing to my PC, it was dropped from the Ipad, but shows up on my PC? I have it "checked" to be synced but it will not come back onto my Ipad. This is also after I downloaded IOS 5.1 for the Ipad. Does anyone know why it would be dropped from the Ipad?

Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I have a mac black that I bought in August of 2008. I also just bought a new iphone 5S and it is not compatible with my itunes. I can not download the new itunes because my software is 10.5.8 and I need 10.6.8 but it is not available. Help!

I just need to know how to update any software so I don't have to buy a new computer to use my itunes with my new phone.

My Mac is telling me that my disk is full. I have bought an external hard drive and have just listened to a youtube tutorial on how to move iTunes library to the external hard drive. If I do this can I still load new media on my Mac without the external?

my Mac is telling me that my disk is full. I have bought an external hard drive and watched a youtube tutorial on moving iTunes library to external hard drive. Will I still be able to use iTunes on my Mac for new media or will this now only work through my external hard drive?

To do this you need to learn the details of how iTunes works. For example, you just said, "leave my iTunes on my computer". iTunes is the application itself so of course it has to be on your computer. That said, I therefore don't know what you mean when you say leave iTunes on your computer. The phrasing of your question suggests to me, if I may be frank, you don't understand how iTunes works fully and we can't just give you a "do this" answer and have it work out. It would be too easy to make a mess of things.

Yes, you can download media and delete it again (but if it is from the iTunes Store there is the possibility you can't always download it again). Of course if you want to keep a copy you can archive it. I have done that with some files for which I have no room on my computer. I transfer them to an external hard drive and delete the reference to the file (but not the file itself) from my library. If I want a quick listen I go to the file on the drive and use Quicktime player or something else non-iTunes so I don't have to have it added to iTunes and delete again. I don't know if that is the solution you are looking for. I could leave the reference in iTunes but if the file can't be located by iTunes it will tell me there is a broken link = ! I guess I could live with that except I periodically scan my library for broken links and don't want it getting confused with ones I have done deliberately and ones suggesting I am really missing a file somewhere.
Another possibility is to make a second iTunes library for material you are archiving and only use that library when the computer is using the external drive. There are tricky aspects to dong that but it is a possibility too.
The simple solution for most people with computers with tiny drives (as most seem to be these days) is to put their whole iTunes library on an external drive and use it from there.
