Hi! I'm getting a "not currently available" message when trying to download old itunes music purchases to new "authorized" computer. I was able to download the first 500 songs no problem, but now I keep getting the "not currently available" message. Can u help? Thnx!
Hey SDGardella,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are receiving error 499 when attempting to download purchases from the iTunes Store. The following resource outlines this error message:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
"Error 499"
This alert occurs due to security software. Follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Thanks,

I have a certified cable that came in with my iPhone5. Since I upgraded to iOS7, I've been getting the "This cable is not certified..." but still have my phone charged. Now, it just don't charge anymore. Any solutions? I made sure it has no debris. Tried all the possible solutions found here but no no no. It's a new charger I don't want to buy anymore it'll cost me a lot
restore your iPhone with back up and then if required as new

You cannot use iCloud Storage to suppliment your iPad. It doesn't work that way.

My old computer had itunes and downloaded songs that I put on my ipod. Well, my old computer got replaced years ago without saving hard drive info or passwords and my iPod burnt out years ago and will not activate. I now have a new computer and iPod and I have an iTunes account on my iPhone5. How can I get access to my old songs on new computer? Are they lost for good? I have no info about my old computer and old account.

I need to get songs that are currently on an ipod onto my computer
I have a windows pc, I just formatted the harddrive. I expected that I could just copy all the songs from the ipod to the computer but that didn't work (some error)
So how would I go about doing this? How would I get my songs back on my computer. I didn't download them from itunes btw.Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of non iTunes Music Store content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described for instance but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. Relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay. -
I need to know how I can connect my ipod and have it upload the music on it to my new computer. I have 900+ songs on it right now and alot are from CD's that I no longer have access to. I have had this ipod for forever and I want all the music to show up on my new computer but everytime I connect it says my only options are to sync and erase everything or only transfer the music that was bought on the itunes store which isn't alot since like I said most is from CD's that I don't have anymore. Is there any way to make this happen? Please help!!!

How do I get my Ipad to accept the iTunes. We have an iTunes account on our laptop. We purchased the Itunes match and downloaded to cloud, but it does not recognize. Help
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

When I try to download the new update iOS7 when I get to like 20 something minutes it stops and reads and error occurred and quits downloading. I have tried at least 5 times. I have plugged it in to the charger to keep the battery from dying but still the same error. Please help.
This can happen if the server is really busy, I had to retry 4-5 times until it finally worked. Just keep at it, you'll get there in the end, but yeah, it would be good to know what the error actually says

I updated to the new iTunes last week. Today I plugged in my 4th generation Shuffle to add some new songs. The shuffle appears in Devices, but when I try to add songs, I'm not getting the progress bar at the top of the screen, so I'm assuming the song isn't being added. I tried ejecting the Shuffle and plugging it in again, and I got a message that my iPod needed to be restored before it could be used with iTunes -- even though the screen also said the Shuffle is up to date on the software. I finally gave in and restored it, but I continue to get the same message. When I eject the iPod and try to play it now, I'm getting nothing, and when it is connected to the usb port, the orange light is continually flashing. I've been trying to figure this out for about 3 hours now, so if anyone could help me, I'd be eternally grateful!
The 1st and 2nd gen shuffles do not have an automatic syncing mode, like later shuffles and the "big" iPods. It is maintained manually (or by using the Autofill feature).
If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.
To add songs to the shuffle... Show a list of songs in the iTunes window. For example, you can select Music under LIBRARY (in the sidebar) to show your complete iTunes music library list. Select a song and drag it to the shuffle in the sidebar. You can do this with more than one song selected. Alternately, select the song(s), right-click the selection, and choose the command to Add to Playlist -> [name of iPod].
To remove songs from the shuffle... Select the shuffle in the sidebar. To the right, it's Settings screen is shown. Toward the top, where it says Settings, click on On This iPod (to the right). The list of songs on the shuffle is shown below. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with more than one song selected.
NOTE: At the bottom of the shuffle's list of songs, there are controls for the Autofill feature. You can also use Autofill to fill your shuffle from your music library or from a specific playlist. -
Recently I was forced to recreate my entire iTunes library. My computer shut down unexpectedly and when I restarted it, my iTunes library was gone from the iTunes software. After *finally* receiving some information from iTunes support about restoring the library (which meant I had to do exactly what I was afraid I would have to do--basically click-and-drag the entire contents from my hard drive back into the library), I wanted to update my iPod with the songs I'd added since the last updating. And this is where more trouble began.
When I plugged in my iPod to sync it with the library, I got a warning message informing me that the library currently on the iPod would be cleared during the syncing, because the iPod can only be associated with "one" library. Well, I did NOT want to do that because I wanted to retain the playcount and other information about the songs. I was also hoping to keep the playlists currently on the iPod.
So, my first instinct was to contact iTunes support. The only problem there was that going through the Support pages ended up with my needing to call Apple. I'd attempted that when I first lost the library and was told by the Support associate that ALL iTunes help and support must be done online. Ironic, huh? I can't get iTunes support online until I call Apple support to get a direct web address to take me to the express lane help pages. And, unfortunately, I made the mistake of uninstalling and reinstalling my AOL software and lost ALL of my e-mails with the iTunes support addresses in the process.
So basically, I need to know what to do here. Is there a way to keep the current iTunes library on my iPod and still syncing with the recreated library or do I just need to accept the loss of the library currently on my iPod? I may try to call Apple Support and get that iTunes online support address again but I'd really like to get this resolved more quickly. The last time that I called and then I got the iTunes online help address, it ended up taking 2 days to get that help.Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are available. How do I get my computer and other devices to be able to play these songs? Almost all my songs play except for about 8 or 9.
If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -
I am currently using an ipod touch 3. When i record in voice memos with the apple earphones(with an inbuilt mic) i can see on the screen that its recording;
but when i hear it, its just a long beep. Need some help!Does the mic work for other apps like Voice Control?
Does the mic work OK in other devices?
Have you tried it with another mic?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Recently purchased a song from ITunes and another that I downloaded from a CD will not transfer to a playlist and will not even allow me to listen to the songs.I get the message "file cannot be located"What can I do to get my system to locate the file?Originally I could play the songs from my desktop and I was able to transfer to my IPad.
Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...
