HT1660 After going for a few years without using my iTunes account I bought an iPhone and am trying to access the old songs I purchased. The username and password worked, but I can't locate those songs. Have they been deleted?

I have an iPod Classic and the latest version of iTunes. I make all my purchases on my computer, but when I try to click the "add to" option and transfer the songs to my iPod, it doesn't work. How can I get my songs from my computer to my iPod?
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Is there a way to stream "older" photos to my PC that were stored on my Iphone before I implemented "Photo Stream? NOTE: My Photo Stream "pushing" function is working, but I can only push "new" photos to my PC.
It might not be streaming but have you considered copying the photos directly off the iphone onto your PC? I plug my phone in via the USB cable like usual and in Windows Explorer, navigate to Computer\Apple iPhone\Internal Storage\DCIM\860xxxx and there they are. Copy & paste and you have pictures.
Hope it helps. -
where to i look on my computer when im checking to see what i have just backed up? Itunes? Does my computer display what is on my ipad?
Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it. -

Can't access firefox after using it as primary browser for a few years?
I've been using Firefox for a few years with AOL dial-up access. I just switched to Comcast and after a few days I lost my connection to Firefox. The icons are there but the program won't come up. The first few days I could just use the Firefox icon to access my internet connection and then it just quit. Also was having some problems with Facebook via Firefox (kept getting error messages) just before this happened/ Please help. I can't access all my saved bookended addresses.
There are some malware infections that make it hard to run programs (EXE) files. Hopefully you do not have one of those.
Could you check whether it is a problem with your shortcut by starting Firefox a different way:
Start menu > Run, type or paste the following and then press the Enter key or click Go:

After updating to iTunes 11.0.4.,
iTunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though).
is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it manually for each individual song which would take forever)?Are these "thousands of files" in an iTunes library that simply cannot be found?
If so, assuming you know exactly where they are, hold the "Option" key while opening iTunes from your dock. You will then be given a "Choose Library" option. Choose it and point to your library. -
I've been running Windows XP over Bootcamp on iMac for a few years and I can't seem to get any sound from external devices into the machine. Any ideas?

I would do 1 thing at a time:"now the micropohone is not working in facetime"
Here is what you can check to get your mike working in facetime:
1. Hold down option while you click on the speaker next to time a. date,
under input Device see if your mic is marked. If not: ✔️
2. Click the apple top left/System Prefs./click on the Sound speaker:
under Input highlight microphone.
3. When you have factime on go to video above scroll and see if your mic is marked ✔️
If that does not get it to work there is more you can check:
(Utilities/Audio, midi setup)
For any other audio device you do this for input and output.

i have a old i pod that i use to used and i stop useing it for a few years and now i have a i phone and i want to put all my music on my i pod in to my iphone and it would not allow me to do so what can i do
You need to move the music from the iPod to your iTunes library on your computer then sync with the iPhone.
Assuming you have a PC you can use this: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/ -

I have a G5 and iBook with PowerPC/iTunes 10....just recently I can't bring up the preset Internet radio on either one. Is this a glitch, or have they been permanently disabled for older versions of iTunes?
I should have posted this for you a while ago. My apologies for not doing it sooner. This was passed on to me by another user R C-R
He deserves the credit for this workaround. This is his post from an area in the forum where you have to be level 6 or higher in which to participate.
I am getting the same (global) error using iTunes 10.3.1 on a 2008 MacBook running 10.6.8.
A really, really awkward workaround that works for me (for now) is if you have the URL of the Internet radio server you can go to Advanced > Open Stream... (in iTunes 10.x) or type command + U, enter it there & click OK. The station should play fine in 10.x.
You can get the URL from any version of iTunes that still supports the "radio tuning service" (which I gather is an Apple server thing Apple is no longer supporting for 10.x). Play the station normally from the newer version & type command + I to open the info window. At the bottom of the "Summary" tab you will see the URL. (Annoyingly, you can't copy the text so you will have to write it down.)
Once you have that, you can play the station in 10.x & add it to a playlist for future use.
To check this out, maybe try http://198.27.80.37/stream/mbarsott.pls -- it is a European Jazz station that works fine for me with iTunes 10.3.1.
This workaround does work, but is a bit cumbersome. I'm still holding out hope that it is just a glitch. -
I lived in the US for a few years, spent a fortune on iTunes [my then local Apple ID account]. Now I live in South Africa and want to use Match. I have a local credit card but how do I use my new / 2nd Apple ID and gain access to all my US music??
You have to be in a country to use its store - you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account to be able to use the US store (that applies to buying and redownloading).
You can use iTunes Match in South Africa, do you not have a backup copy of all of your US iTunes purchases so that you can subscribe to it and upload those that aren't in the South African store to it ? -
I downloaded several songs on my iPod touch and it wouldn't sync with my computer so I needed to restore it. Those songs that I had downloaded show up in my purchase history but they are no where to be found in the music library. The assistance I got from support was to chech the "Check for available downloads" and precede from there, but it isn't finding those songs. How can I get those songs back?
They are only where you put them, if you did not download them on the computer or transfer them from the iDevice, there is no logical expectation for them to be on the computer.

What is the best way to 'clean up" a Mac that has been going for about 2 years. I reset safari frequently but need to be sure stuff I don't want is gone.
I'd gather by your "reset Safari" and "clean up" you mean by sites you rather not have your mom see.

I have activated 2 iPhones using ONE iTunes account, but I would now like to remove one iPhone from the account and add it to a new iTunes account. This is so that I can back it up without cross syncing between purchases/apps on both iPhones.
Whats the best method for this?
I'm running Windows 7
Many thanksWhenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID.
