HT1751 Troubles getting the music off of the iMac HD

We moved all the music to the external hard drive, and deleted what we thought were the only folders of music. Tested it by disconnecting the hard drive. But the music is still on the computer somewhere. How do we find and delete it?

They will be removed from your iPhone but nothing will be removed from iTunes on your computer.

  • HT1296 Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4. My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. Help

    If I choose to sync it tells me all of the Content that does not match the iTunes library on the computer will be erased, do you want to proceed & I have to say no.
    How do I replace the music library on my Computer with the Music on the iPhone?
    I got my pictures off because you can access them when you connect the iPhone using Windows 7 but you cannot see any of the music so you cannot access it when using windows so don't know what to do...
    Help...

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

  • HT204406 Upgraded my phone to iphone 6 from iphone 4. My iTunes with all my music is on a computer that no longer works and can't access the music. Will iTunes Match allow me to get my music off of my iphone 4 and put it on my iphone 6?

    Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

  • I my ipod isn't letting me swipe in on the lock screen, and for now, i've given up on that, and i just got a new laptop. So what i'd like to do is not worry about getting in my ipod, but to plug it in my computer and get my music off of it.

    How do i get my music off the icloud and back into just my library?  It started downloading my music in my library and put it on this icloud and now I cannot play the music in the library that has been downloaded on the icloud

    iTunes should show you two copies of the file (track) one which is in the local music folder (on the laptop / pc) and one that is available from iCloud.

    I found my old iPod that I haven't used since about 2010, and I no longer have the computer that the library was synced with. Is there any way to get my music off of it so that I can put it on my new iPod? The old one is a 30 GB from 2005.

    CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back.  So probably won't run on modern operating systems.  If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

    Hello Bdev15,
    I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too.  I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

    If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network.  For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network.  Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:

    If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

  • I have trouble getting the scrubber bar to show. How can I get it to show on my screen?

    I have trouble getting the scrubber bar to show on my screen. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. How can I get it to show on the screen whenever I want. Nothing in my manual answers that question.

    The Users Guide says:
    Additional audio controls
    To display additional controls, tap the album artwork on the Now Playing screen. You can see elapsed time, remaining time, and the song number. The song’s lyrics also appear, if you’ve added them to the song in iTunes.

  • Trouble getting the Java OLAP samples to work

    Hello all,
    Has anyone else had trouble getting the Java OLAP API samples for 9i working? I've recently downloaded the trial version of 9i and was trying to tinker with the OLAP API. I tried to use the olapi.bat script in $ORACLE_HOME\olap\olapi\bin, but I've been getting JNDI problems (javax.naming.NoInitialContextException). The error message is below:

    I've tried supplying a ContextFactory class name to the environment, using the ContextFactory classes that I found in the aurora.zip or aurora_client.jar files, but that didn't work. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Only use the == operator for checking for the same object. Use the String.equals()method. I.E replace
    if (sex == "Male") {
    } else {
    with
    if (sex.equals( "Male")) {
    } else {
    or if 'sex' could be null then
    if ("Male".equals(sex)) {
    } else {
    }

  • Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod?  I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files...but most are cds

    Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod? I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files, most of it is cds...

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, 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.
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

    If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for information.
