HT3209 Billing and Music Library Issues

I owe ITunes money for 4 tracks but I am unable to play music in my library already purchased? When I click on a song I am prompted to address past billing issue. Doesn't seem right since I already paid for those songs. Can anyone help?

Thanks for the follow up you your earlier post Skip! Question, what brand of router are you using and have you changed any other settings other than the channel? I suspect a lot of folks have interference issues and may not be aware of it. Microwaves and older cordless phones are the usual culprits and now wireless speakers! The "default" settings don't work for every situation so just curious what else you have tried.
My Airport Extreme for example has an "Interference Robustness" setting that is supposed to help but at the penalty of top speed and it also has an option to use "wide bands" which I think equates to the 20/40 setting in other N routers. I might be wrong on this one though. Anyhoo, just curious and thanks again!
P.S. If you do have a single radio router, you may want to try a dual band unit and then force the ATV to the 5ghz band which usually suffers less from interference issues. You can also make the 5ghz band N mode only and then slower devices can connect to the 2.4ghz radio and not interfere with the speed on the 5ghz side. 5ghz is shorter range though (but faster) so you have to watch for that if you have a big place. My ATV, ATV2, iPad and iMac all share the 5ghz side with N mode only for full speed and everything else (PC's, iPhones, Wii, PS3, Netbook) all use the 2.4ghz radio in mixed mode.

I have iTunes on my iPad. I have a new iPod nano. How do I connect iPod to iPad to download iTunes and music library?

Hi Divine Inspiration,
You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.

I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac. How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library? I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?

Album and Music library are blank

Their are songs and pictures in the phone. They can be accessed via the file manager. The album and Music library show that there is no content. Help.

I did think of that, and I will admit that I'm an iPod newbie (it arrived yesterday). I did read iPod 101 yesterday, tho' and I seem to remember that iTunes updates the iPod, but not vice versa. Until I know for sure, I am reluctant to connect the iPod, because I don't want to risk losing the info that's there.
Do you know for sure this would work?

IPod as backup for my photo and music library

May I use iPod as backup device for my photo and music library in case of my iMac failure? Is this tested and recommended solution?
Thanks, Jan

This is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music/photos would be erased. If you no longer have them in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music and other data would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a different form of back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music and photos.
At the very least back up your music/photos to either cd or dvd before deleting them, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.

Moving iTunes and music library from one computer to another

I need to move my iTunes and music library with purchased music, playlists, ratings, and legally downloaded music to another computer. How do I do that?

Try posting in the iTunes for Windows area. You'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer there than you will here in the iTunes for Macintosh forum. Good luck.

Transfering iTunes and music library to another computer

Hello,
I just got a new computer and I want to transfer my iTunes and music library to it. I would normally just transfer the files to the new computer, install iTunes, and rebuild my library, but there are two things: 1) I don't want to lose my playlists and 2) I have purchased music from the iTunes Music Store and I'm not sure it will play if I do it like that.
I have a feeling it has to do with deauthorizing the old computer.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome, Fred, to the Apple Discussions!
Here's a post on transferring your Music Library from one computer to another:

You will definitely have to authorize your new computer. And if you won't be using the old one to play purchased songs any more, you should de-authorize it. Have a look at:

Browse and Music Library on Tou

I've seen the thread for USB Mass Storage, so don't tell me about that.
I figured you guys know a lot about the players, so I'd ask you. Is it possible to support both a Browse function and the Music Library? Because I am used to Archos players which are driverless, thus allowing me to organize my music how I want, instead of by Artist, Album, or Genre.
I just bought a Zen Touch 40GB and am trying to figure out a way around this. Organize by Artist would be OK, but I have many "one-hit wonders" that each get their own entry in Artist view. Seeing as I have over 5000 MP3s, this is very annoying.
I am actually considering returning this player and buying an Archos Gmini XS200, which, despite having a 20GB dri've, has driverless support, and will allow me to organize my music the same as it is on my computer's HD.
So please, tell me if the Music Library keeps Creative from adding Browse by folder support, or if it can be done. If not, does anyone know of third-party firmware that can?

I'm doing that. I'm changing the Genre to the same as the folder the files are in. Still doesn't work that great.
I'd like to be able to drag and drop the folders from Windows Explorer, but still let it organize them using Music Library, but ALSO include a Browse function.
If it weren't for the lack of a browse function, this would be a perfect player.

Multiple music library issues

I have downloaded songs from my home computer to my ipod, but now I am on holidays and have bought some songs from itunes store, downloaded onto my laptop, but when I try to add them to my ipod I get a message that I can only use one music library, and must erase all the songs on my ipod if I want to add the songs from my laptop that I just bought!!?? How do I add them without erasing the 900 songs already on there?

Click on your iPod's name from under the Devices column and it should automatically place you under your iPod's Summary tab.

IPod, ITunes and Music Library

I am sure this question has been asked and answered a thousand times but I can't find the question or the answer here so here goes my shot:
For reasons I won't bore you with I had to create a new user account on my wife's machine. I did it by just using her first name instead of her first and last names. How do I deauthorize her iPod for the old user account and set it up for the new user account without losing any of the music that is in her old ITunes music library and on her iPod?

Use the instructions in this article to share the iTunes library between the accounts, or here to transfer music from multiple iTunes libraries to an iPod other than the iPod shuffle.

Updated to itunes 7 and music library appears empty

Upgraded from itunes 6 to 7. Open itunes and nothing displays from the Music Library. I changed the Prefs/Advanced/General itunes music folder to point to where my music folder is but it still doesn't display anything in that folder. When I used itunes 6 I created a music folder in My Document/My iTunes/My Music. All my music is still there but itunes 7 won't display it. How do I fix this?

That little lock usually indicates that the iPod is set to autosync. In order to play iPod content through iTunes, you have to be on manual sync.

7.0.2 crashes when click between iPod and music library

I just upgraded to 7.0.2. iTunes recognizes my iPod and will even play the music, but if I click on the music library after having clicked on anything in my connected iPod, iTunes quits without even an error message. I just wiped my 1.6 Ghz PowerPC G5 and reinstalled 10.4, then upgraded to iTunes 7.0.2. I have a 5G iPod video. 7.0.1 works just fine with my iPod on my iBook.
Help!
Thanks.
1.8 Ghz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4)

I think it's fixed. I followed the instructions on this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=717600&tstart=0
and reinstalled 7.0. First I put iTunesX.pkg and iTunes 7.0.2 in the trash, then I ran the installer. iTunes still behaved badly until I emptied the trash. Now iTunes and my iPod play nicely together unless I click on the iPod while it's still loading, in which case iTunes crashes again.

Music library issues

Good day to all try to be clear. I have an ipod touch third generation After upgrading to version 4.1 of IOs if I add podcasts or music works correctly, but if you sync with iTunes without adding anything, the ipod tells me that the music library is empty. Even when connected to itunes the ipod says it has no music although the itunes shows that if. I restored the ipod, I deleted it from system preferences, updated the itunes and all without result. Is set to manually manage the content and has no jailbreak for what it is the data. Thank you very much

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other songs you will have to get them from where you got them before

Separate iPod and Music Library

I would be grateful if someone could advise me on the following:
1. I have my music library on iTunes and I want to add further CDs but to a separate library, so the two do not merge. How do I do this?
2. I wish to use this separate library to populate a different iPod to the one I normally use. Can I do this and if so how?
3. I want to digitise casettes and vinyl records and add these to the separate music library for later use on the new iPod. What software do I need? How do I attach the record player/casette player to my iMac and how do I get the files into iTunes?
I am grateful for any help and advice. Thanks in advance.

First: These are non-expert suggestions to trigger your thinking and possible steps to try.
Regarding #1:
a. Select not to share your account's music files.
b. Create a new user account which, I believe, starts a new music file and an empty iTunes library. Also make this account's music "non-sharing". Add music to the new account iTunes library.
Regarding #2: If suggestions in #1 work then maybe a second iPod would work as well, using the "new account".
Regarding #3: I've used an old iMac running Roxio's Toast with Spin Doctor.
Use a belt driven, not direct drive, turntable, a cheap pre-amp to increase turntable's output, an iMic USB sound connector rather than the mike jack for sound imput, good cables and LOT'S of time.
Unlike inputing CD's, vinyl & tapes require 40 minutes of recording time for 40 minutes of playing time. That does NOT include set-up, cleaning the vinyl, etc., nor cleaning the "noise, pops, sound levels, etc" for each track.
Research MacWorld, MacAddict, MacHome Journal archives for various articles they've published on this subject.
I just purchased a book: "MacToys-12 Cool Projects for Home, Office and Entertainment" by John Rizzo & Scott Knaster, Wiley Publishing
WWW.wiley.com/compbooks/extremetech
Their section on putting LPs onto an iPod might be what you want.
Good luck AND BACKUP each raw file before you start cleaning it up. Inputing your vinyl takes too long to risk not doing that FIRST, before doing anything else.
