HT201272 I recently got a new computer and authorized it. I have only been able to find the newest of purchases. I am missing hundreds of downloads/playlists and cannot get them to sync from my ipod. How do I locate all my playlists?

I have hundreds of songs, most of them purchased from the ITunes Store. I am only able to find the newest of purchases. I have a new laptop (my old one died) and have de-authorized the old PC and authorized the new one.
I thought I might have two separate id's, for some reason, but am unable to find any info re the possible second one. i.e., cannot log in, apple does not recognize it as a user id.
Everything I have/had is on my IPod but I am unable to migrate the music from the IPod to my PC. I have downloaded all the updates for the PC and the IPod. I am at a loss as to how to recover my music and cannot find a way to contact anyone at Apple without having to pay a fee.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Judi Dupree

Hello John,
It sounds like your music was copied from your iPod Touch but not your installed apps. I want to recommend this article to help you Transfer your Purchases named:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
You can also download your apps using your purchased history in iTunes with this article:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283
Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
In the page that appears, select a category.iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
To download an item, click its Download button .To download all available items, click Download All.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

I signed up for cc a while back and thought i was supposed to receive both ps and lr but i have only been able to use ps. I pay the monthly 9.99 subscription. Does this price level not include Lr?

Sounds a bit odd to me. Like Gene says, if you are signed in to the Desktop Application Manager, it should recognize you and the plan you are on, and let you install LR without asking for a serial number. Try signing out of the Desktop Application Manager by clicking on the cog icon > Preferences > Account tab > sign out. Then sign back in again. This forces the Desktop Application Manager to scan your system (it normally only does so once every 24 hours looking for updates).
If LR is still not inviting you to Install it, then sign in to your Adobe account . See what it says under My Subscriptions. I don't have the Photography plan, so don't know what you should see, but I imagine it will be obvious. Click on Manage and see if that makes sense.
If still in trouble, I think you would do better starting a thread in the Creative Cloud forum that deals specifically with this sort of issue. You'll also find some FAQ links on that page that will likely give you a clue as to what is going on.
Bottom line is I have never been asked for a serial number installing LR from the CC Desktop Application Manager.

I have an ipod 160 and have only been able to copy about 12000 songs to it. now it is telling me it cannot copy my last 894 mbs. any words of wisdom?

I have an ipod classic 160gb and have copies 12000 songs down to itunes to move to it but at the last minute i got a message that it will not accomodate 896 mb of what I have copied to itunes. any words of wisdom?

You have to open the iTunes program, on the file tab there is an option to "create new version" you click on this option and goes to change iPod or iPhone version. If you want to change the version of videos you click on iPad or TV version, and these will appear in movies because the format is MPEG-4.
Care with the music, you repeat music tracks, and maintains the old format version.
I hope it helps.

iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

The ipod is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

You are allowed to have two activted installations, so if the first machine is the only machine with an activated installation there is nothing prohibiting you from installing and activating on the new machine.
You can contact Adobe Support thru chat to have the old installation deactivation.

Hi. I recently got a new computer and transferred all my files across using TimeMachine. Whenever I try to sign into any CC program (including CC) the program instantly shuts down and an Apple error message comes up. I have uninstalled and reinstalled CC twice with no avail and deleted every Adobe product on my computer and nothing is working.

I have seen similar discussions before... transferring does not work, you must install

Recently got a new computer and installed itunes from external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when i click on a song i receive this message "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found". What do i do?

I recently got a new computer and installed itunes from which had been saved onto an external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when I click on a song I receive this message "the song "abc" could not be used because the original file could not be found". What can I do?

I was given the option to locate the file where the song is held. If so select "locate" and direct it to the folder / file where the song is and open it. itunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library. OK that as this will do it automatically instead of doing them one by one. I hope this helps.

I recently got a new computer and lost the email that contained my serial number.

I recently got a new computer, my old computer had all my adobe products installed on it and was backed up to an external hard drive. Consequently, I don't have my serial number that was sent to me via email, because it was lost when I lost my other computer. Is there a way I can get one resent to me?

Your serial number should be available online if you purchased from Adobe or if you purchased somewhere else and registered your product with Adobe.
Check the My Orders or My Products and Services areas that you can see after logging in to www.adobe.com and hovering over your name at the upper right:

iTunes is quite friendly, and very powerful.... You probably just need to set up automatic syncing in iTunes.
If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Select the iPod there.
To the right, the iPod's Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This setting enables automatic syncing for music. If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the iPod's storage, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres. From the lists below, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod.
Here's one convenient way to set this up. In your iTunes library, create one or more playlists. Add the ALL the songs you want on the iPod to those playlists. OR, you can use existing playlists. Back on the iPod's Music screen, select those playlists under Playlists. (You can select other items on those lists, if desired.)
When you click Apply, the songs in your selection sync to the iPod. Going forward, to update your iPod (add/remove songs), just update those playlists in your iTunes library. The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the iPod with the same changes.
NOTE: On the bar of buttons that starts with Summary, click on the other buttons (such as Movies, Podcasts, Audiobooks, etc.) to set up syncing for those iTunes media categories.

I have never been able to use the Macmail feature. Running OSX 10.4.11, and the problems appear to be related to the fact that when I originally registered my computer with apple, I used an old e-mail address which is now defunct. Have since upgraded the e-mail address in account manger, but it still locks me out and rejects my user name and password when I try to log in. It seems it established an account for me automatically when I first fired the beast up, but now the Macmail program is uncooperative with me. Any assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks

Hi rbcjoker76, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Sounds like some needed System Fonts wre replaced by bad ones. Y also have Font Book in Applications for validating fonts & checking for duplicates.
Required Fonts from 10.3, much the same in 10.4...

then intall the Fonts what you need from your Install Disk.
Or do a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
