  • I just purchased a new laptop and I am trying to transfer my ITunes library to my new computer. When I log into ITunes on my new laptop and enter my  Apple ID password, it says AppleID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect.  What do I do?

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

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

    Hi Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo I think the problem is you need to update software to 8.1 if you can try and do this over Wifi Cheers Brian

  • I am at work and someone is trying to share my itunes library. Is there a way to put a password or lock on it somehow?

    i am at work and someone is trying to share my itunes library. Is there a way to put a password or lock on it somehow?

    Select Edit > Preferences > Sharing (press Ctrl-B to enable the menu bar if it is not visible).  Then either:
    Uncheck the Share my library on my local network box so that no-one has access to it. or
    Check the Require password box and enter a password value if you want to share the content of your library (either the whole library or a selection of playlists) with selected users.

  • Bought a new computer 64 bit now i can't see my library

    I bought a new computer it has windows 7. So i downloaded I tunes 10. Now when I open up the store I do not see any of my library, playlists, etc. Any help?

    You need to move iTunes Folder(Library)/Media files from your old computer where your Device used to sync with over to the new one.

  • I just purchased a Macbook, iPad, and iPhone and I am trying to sync my iTunes library from my Windows laptop.  How can I sync my iTunes library to all devices?

    I just recently purchased a MacBook Pro (13 inch with Retina display), an iPad Air 2, and an iPhone 6 plus.  Before these purchases, I was using a Windows 7 laptop to manage my iTunes library and iTunes purchases.  I am in need of syncing my iTunes library on my iPod classic (160 GB) with all of my new Apple devices.  How can I sync my iTunes library with all of my new devices?

    Devices can only sync to one library at a time. You can, however, have multiple copies of libraries on different computers though it can be tricky making sure they are always synchronized.  You can put your Windows iTunes on your Mac.
    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    When this is to a new computer put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • I just bought a new ipod and I'm trying to download my itunes library and games but itunes is not recognizing my new ipod. I have followed all the instructions from apple asistant except deleting and reinstalling itunes.  What can I do.

    I bought a  new Ipod (5th generation).  I am trying to sync it to my itunes.  I tunes does not recognize my new ipod. It is registered.  I was only able to download purchases I made from my old ipod.  I cannot download my itunes library or any of the games I have purchased. I tried using the troubleshooting guide to no avail.  The only thing I did not do was to uninstall and reinstall itunes.  I did update it to the latest version. How can I get  itunes to recognize my new ipod?

    - You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
    - Have you tried everthing here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You should

    Your library/media will not be affected.

  • Bought a new computer w/ Windows Vista.  Can't load iTunes

    I just bought a new Dell XPS w/ Windows Vista. I cannot load iTunes. I've deleted and reinstalled several times, but each time, when I try to open iTunes, it tells me that "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." Help?!

    While playing with the pre-release versions of Vista I had numerous iTunes problems though I could get it to run. Just not reliably. Since Vista was just released, and that just for businesses officially, we'll just have to wait for an update. Remember, Zune software doesn't work on Vista either.

  • I just bought a new laptop.  Is it possible to switch my itunes account to it so i can get rid of the old laptop?

    I just bought a new laptop and my itunes account was on the old one.  Is there a way to transfer the account so I can get rid of the old laptop that is about to crash?!

    No. You're allowed up to 5 or somehting, but if you don't deauthorize the old one, when you log into the store and look up your prefs you'll see it say 2 authorized computers.
    And you're welcome.

  • New computer, 20G iPod.  How do I update iTunes library?

    Got a new computer (old computer crashed, lost data) and I already have a 20G iPod full of music. I downloaded iTunes and plugged in my iPod. A message comes up that says "The iPod is linked to another iTunes music library, do you want to change the link to this iTunes library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library?". I assume this means if I click "no" and the music stays on my iPod but doesn't import into the library. If I click "yes", will it erase my iPod music????? I don't know what to do because I'm afraid it will erase the music on my iPod... help!

    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
    If your backup drive/disks were stolen as well, then:

  • My old laptop broke, I have download itunes on my new computer but my music I had stored on itunes library has gone. how do i redownload my old library?

    my old laptop broke - i have downloaded itunes onto new pc but my library is blank, how do i access redownload my old itunes library?

    If you do have your iTunes content stored in a backup somewhere, on your iPod, or the hard drive it was originally on is no longer available, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases again via iCloud using the instructions in this link.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For all other non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to rerip or redownload them from their original source.
    For the future, consider making backups of your iTunes library or your entire PC.

  • Im trying to open my itunes library but i cant, it say "The file "itunes library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes." what do i do?

    someone help me out please, thanks

    Hello,
    it looks like at some point you had a newer version of iTunes installed and then reverted back to an older one without noticing it.
    The first thing to try would be to go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install iTunes 10.2.2 from there and see if the error message persists.
