HT201272 why do I need to be on my original computer to re-download songs when that computer was stolen. So what they are saying is I lost all that money I by using iTunes to buy music?
Is there any way to get the songs back or do I have to now respend the money? Would it not be better to stop using iTUnes and just buy the CD and down load it to my computer?
Then you are looking in the wrong place....
Do you have the Show Sidebar turned on? If not, then go to View at the top, and click on Show Sidebar.
Now, on the sidebar click on iTunes STORE (you must be in the store to do this - not in the Library)
Once you are in the Store, you want to click on Music to go to the Music Store. On the right-hand side, you will see the Quick Links section. This is where you want to click on Purchased.
Once you do that, this is what you will see:
You want to make sure that "All" is selected in the upper right, and then you want to click on All Songs in the list. This is similar to what you will then see:
You can then select any that have clouds next to them, or you can select Download All in the lower right-hand corner.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that I would like to sync with my iTunes account on my computer. The CDs were on my original laptap also, but it was stolen and I set up the iTunes on my new computer.
When I try to sync I get a message indicating that the iPhone iTunes will be replaced with the computer iTunes.
How can I sync and retain both iTunes?Music is designed to sync in one way only, and that is from iTunes to the phone. There is the expectation that you would backup the computer to save this data. There are 3rd party solutions to try and recover music from the phone to put back into a blank iTunes library.

What high end A/V Receivers use iTunes to stream Music, Pictures and Videos to a TV ?
I'm going to be purchasing a high end a/v receiver and need one that uses iTunes to stream music, piuctures and videos to my TV. Any recommendations?
I don't believe there is a receiver that supports AirPlay of video and photos. Many will AirPlay audio however you'll probably have to use an Apple TV for photos and video.

How to unset the 'use itunes for internet music playback' option
In Advanced Preferences, I mistakenly clicked the SET button for "Use itunes for internet music playback". Since then, I have closed and opened itunes, so it appears the preference has been saved (the field is no longer highlighted)
I cannot find any way to unset this option. I want to unset this option. Could someone please tell me how?I don't think that deleting the plist file will help.
Clicking that button sets the handler for a bunch of file types. You can't just unset it, you need to set the handler to something other than iTunes. Normally audio and video are handled by the Quicktime Plugin. You can restore that behavior in System Preferences:
System Preferences -> QuickTime (in the Internet and Network set) -> Advanced -> Mime Settings...
You may have other plugins or programs you want to use for some formats (like .wmv or .avi). Those programs should be able to reclaim the file and MIME types from their preferences. -
I bought an ipod shuffle and downloaded old limewire songs onto it. The ipod says "Please use itunes to sync music". What does that mean? Do I have to download from Itunes only? thanks, Jester
Dear jester,
Apple created iTunes to try and stop piracy, and if you look at the lime wire site, it says they were shut down for piracy.
You will have you buy all the music through iTunes or you can download music to iTunes from a CD.
I hope this help you.

It says please use itunes to sync music..
Just bought a new ipod shuffle. I can listen to the songs from my mac, but when I eject, it says please use itunes to sync music. I placed the button in the middle that didn't solve the issue.
In iTunes, is the sidebar (along left side of the window) visible? If not, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, under DEVICES, when you connect both shuffles at the same time, both should be listed there, but only one of them appears, correct?
The blinking orange light means the shuffle's disk is mounted, so it is definitely connecting. And you said earlier that it appears in My Computer. What you should try is a Restore. However, you cannot do a Restore, unless it appears in iTunes. So, you may want to try erasing (reformatting) the shuffle using Windows, like it was a USB flash drive. When you do this, iTunes should not be running. Select FAT (or FAT32) as the disk format. If there is a choice to do a quick format, select to do a full format.
Then, run iTunes with only this one shuffle connected. iTunes may prompt you to do a Restore. If that happens, do the Restore, which re-erases the shuffle, put its software back on, and sets it to default settings. If you are not prompted, but the shuffle now appears in iTunes, select it and do a Restore from the shuffle's Summary screen.
If that does not help either, you should contact Apple to get it replaced. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genuis Bar and take it there. Depending on where you purchased it (and how long ago it was), you may also be able to just return it for refund, and buy another one. -
How do I use itunes to transfer music to my ipod while offline?

thanks in advance!

ipod g5 (w/vid) Windows 2000for some reason when itunes first installs a new version, it opens up to the iTunes Store. Since you don't have net connection, its going to error out.
But the fact that you can't see any of the other items, I would recommend redownloading iTunes (and Quicktime to be sure) and reinstalling it and see if that helps.
Just for the record, can you click on the Library icon? -
The pc that I used to download CD music to into my itunes library was stolen and I had no backup. I have all my itunes music on my iphone and ipod. can i have music from music from my iphone or ipod transferred to my mac computer through itunes?
I have a similar problem. I recieved an IPAD for my birthday, and my daughter updated my itunes library so i can use it with the ipad...and somehow all my songs (unpurchased from itunes, and downloaded from a large collection of CDs) ...and play lists were deleted. I still have them on my old ipod, and wonder how to get them back onto my computer so I can redistribute some of them to the ipad. I must be getting too old for this tech stuff, it gets less user friendly every year.

I have a large library of music on my iphone 5s. I have just upgraded to iphone6. I believe I need to have all my music in my itunes library to transfer it to my new phone - however all I can see in my itunes library is music I have purchased recently. This library of music is from years ago. Ho can I get all my music on my new phone ? Thanks
See turingtest2's user tip on Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You should, however, maintain your library on your PC and maintain a regular backup of it. iPhones are neither designed as nor suitable as data storage devices.

Unsetting Option -- Use iTunes for Internet Music Playback
In the advanced pane of the iTunes Systems Preferences, there is an Option -- "Use iTunes for Internet Music Playback". You can click on the SET button to use this feature.
But how do you UNSET it? I no longer want to use ITunes for Internet Music Playback.
I am running iTunes 7.02 and Tiger 10.4.8.

Hope this helps.

Can I use iTunes Match without a computer? I only have an iphone at the moment with stored music. My computer was stolen.
iTunes match will only work from a computer in terms of uploading new content. You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). For content from other sources there are some third-party programs listed half-way down this page which might help you get your content back from your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

i use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?
I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!! -
"Please use iTunes to sync music"... uh, I have music
Never had this issue before. I have a shuffle from 09' and today I decided to add a few songs... when plugged in iTunes recognizes the shuffle and shows my music on the device.
When I eject it and attempt to listen to music, the only thing I hear is "Please use iTunes to sync music"
Any one have any ideas?
FYI, I just upgraded to the newest version of iTunes.
Based off of my experience, I'd say iTunes is the issuePeeved person wrote:
