HT203167 My iTunes library on laptop is correct/up to date with recent purchases and downloads; however, our desktop computer does not have any of these when logged into Itunes.... how do I add these so both computers have current info?

The iTunes library on our laptop is correct and up to date with recent purchases and downloads; however, our desktop does not have any of these when using it. Home sharing is turned "ON" with both computers. Why is the desktop not showing the same content and how do I resolve this?

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

My imac is not recognizing any external dvd writer drive. I have imac with Core i7 and Mac OS 10.6.8. I have tried external dvd writers from Samsung and Amazon Essentials but the computer does not recognize any of them. Which Dvd writer is compatible?

I have an external firewire burner; it never shows on the desktop unless I insert a CD or DVD - that icon will then show (if I have my preferences set to show those on the desktop). Hae you checked in Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) to see if it is listed under drives?

Why would you think this? That's an ignorant assumption to make.
Your media is only where you put it.
Either move it from the old computer or restore it from the backup of the old computer.

HT1481 ipod shuffle 2nd generation, does not show up in window when plugged into itunes. Also, does not charge(no light comes on).

I have a ipod shuffle (2nd generation) that won't light up when plugged in to the power adapter. I have only used it a few times since I purchased it years ago. Also, when I plug it into my computer with itunes running, it isn't recognized at all, as in nothing happens when I plug the usb cable with ipod attached and on to it. Any help would be much appreciated.

but there is another unspecified error.
What is that error?
Are you sure she has a Shuffle? You mentioned a Sad Face.. that would indicate that the iPod has a display, which a Shuffle does not.

HT1657 I rented a few movies and downloaded them to my computer. Before they had been viewed, I updated my iTunes software and the movies were no longer in my library. How can I access the movies as I have already paid for them?

Lightning is a problem for you because it hooks into Thunderbird at a low level and you need a version compiled for the platform Thunderbird is running on. So you can't do the preferred solution, which is to put your whole profile in a shared folder and have both instances of Thunderbird reference the same profile. (Ditto for Enigmail). Lightning may become an integral part of Thunderbird in an upcoming release, at which point this limitation due to Lightning should disappear.
And if you can't use a shared profile, you can't set your Lightning, or your Address Book, to share a common set of files. Put another way, the linkage from Thunderbird to its address book files and calendar data is hard-coded, and not exposed where we can adjust it. :-(
The halfway house is to place your mail stores in a shared place, and use the Local Directory setting in each account's settings to connect to it. They don't need to be in the profile; what's more important in your case is that they are in a folder accessible to both operating systems.
Look in your profile; everything under Mail and ImapMail needs to be moved out to a shared folder. Note the entries in Thunderbird under Local Directory before you do this, and reconstruct those pathnames in Thunderbird, but adjusted to suit their new locations.
(You can see here that you need to make many adjustments, one per account, in each instance of Thunderbird, so it's a high-maintenance solution and this is why we don't recommend it when the alternative, moving the whole profile, is possible.)
I share address books and calendars between Thunderbirds on various computers (and my phone and tablet) by syncing to something in the cloud; Google Contacts and Google Calendar are my choices, using gContactSync and CalDav.
Having made the break myself some years ago, I'd recommend you break away from Windows. ;-)

Hi, I have installed VMware Fusion to switch to windows. The game I played is now frozen and even turning off the computer does not get it out of the 'frozen' mode. What can I do?

All you need to do is go to the iTunes store, and then go to purchased in the right side of iTunes store. It is under the quick links. Then you will be able to download the past purchases there.

HT1386 I have an iphone 4 which quit working and I had my iphone 3 reactivated until I get my 4 replaced or fixed. My computer does not recognize my iphone 3 when I plug it in. I also cannot figure out how to apply my last backup to my iphone 3

If your iPhone 4 was running iOS 5, you can't install iOS 5 on an iPhone 3G which means you can't restore the 3G from the backup of the iPhone 4 running iOS 5.

Error 5002 When Logging Into iTunes Store

A few years back, I had a different email and a different AppleID; I still listen to the music that I purchased under that account, and I need to authorize my laptop now. When I tried to log in (I verified that the password is correct), I get this error:
"We could not complete you iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002)"
However, it doesn't happen when logging into my current iTunes account, or my husband's.
Anyone else have this issue? Should I just try to contact Apple Support directly to resolve?

I'm also getting this error. The only thing that is different is that I synced my iPhone to my MBP after several weeks.
I tried updating one of my free iPhone apps but I was told there was an error in downloading the information. I figured it was because I had moved and changed my address for my credit card but had not updated it on my iTunes account. When trying to go into my account through iTunes I got the Error 5002... I guess I'm not the only person to have this problem.
Any help would be great.
