I cancelled my home sharing half way through and now it won't give me the option to transfer the rest of my songs over... help!

I am trying to transfer all my songs (1400 of them) from my old laptop to my new MacBook Pro. I thought I could just pop in my appleID and it would all appear! I have iTunes Match and thought that may help. None of this seemed to work, so I started the Home Transfer. Then it looked like my iTunes Match was allowing me to access my songs so I cancelled the Home Transfer. Now I'm stuck with only 349 of my songs but when I tried again, my old laptop only has that same 349 songs on the Home Sharing option too. So it seems I can't get the rest on!
I am not very techy and very confused!
Help!!

Why will it not let you add them?  What specifically are you trying to do, please provide steps.
Frankly, the only thing that should need to be done it restore the iTunes folder from the backup onto the computer.  There is no reason to add or import anything.

  • C3135 All-In One: When I turn it on, it feeds 1 sheet of paper half-way through and then stops.

    Even does this when not connected to the PC. I have tried a reset.

    I don't know of one place JUST for this. I usually step people thru it on the WIndows forums so 1) they don't fudge up things even more and 2) sometimes windows wants to be a pain and stuff. But You can go here and roll down to "Format in windows" http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=361771
    There are cases where even in disk mode it will not show, or only show for a second in windows under "My Computer". And in these cases you have to open task manager (Hold altctrldel all together to open it) goto the "Process tab", highlight "iPOdservice.exe" and hit end process. If you have to do this, you will have to restart windows when its done formatting so the "ipodservice.exe" is started again in the background and you can use the ipod updater to restore it

  • Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"

    Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
    I have tried to restore my contacts and company data at least 20 times and every time half way through THE iPAD REBOOTS! When it boots back up it is at the brand new iPad screen.
    This makes me angry as I do not use the iPad for fun and games. I use it for business. My company data and records for the last year are gone. ALL of my out standing customer invoices are gone. ALL payments received are gone! ALL Business contacts and emails ARE GONE! All my company, personal email accounts and settings ARE GONE!
    What am I supposed to do now? In 6 hours I have to get on the road and conduct business with a empty blank factory out of the box iPad. How am I supposed to know who owes me money or who has paid their bills Apple? All of my meetings and calendar dates are GONE!
    Everything was supposed to be backed up and restored after the update!
    Question???WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS UPDATE WIPE OUT ALL SETTINGS AND APPS ON THE iPAD??? All the other updates left everything on the iPad intact and ONLY upgraded the IOS,and when it was done everything was still there.
    Yes! I have done everything. Rebooted computer, checked for updates, Hard booted iPad, Factory restored iPad to ios 5 twice, tried every usb port I have, unplugged all other usb components.
    Everytime half way through "Restoring iPad from backup..." The iPad turns off shows a spinning circle then shows the Apple logo and takes me to the brand new iPad setup screen.
    Apple, you have no idea the level of stress you have created today.....

    Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
    ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
    I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!

  • My iPod is playing songs half way through and not at the beginning?

    Okay, so I will be listening to a song like "Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles and will get the urge to change the song to a different band and song half way through of listening to it. After listening to the new band and song and like a month goes by I will go back to The Beatles song and it will begin where i left off and not in the beginning like it used to. How can i fix this because it makes me mad that it starts half way through and not in the beginning?

    Hello uhmcookies,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I believe the "Remember playback position" is enabled for these songs in iTunes. This option will ensure that wherever you leave off in a song is always where it will be picked up off at. This is a nice feature for audiobook tracks, but not music.
    Anyways, you can disable it by removing the check mark next to this option from under the track's Options tab in iTunes. You can access this tab by right->clicking on the track and choosing "Get Info" from the menu.
    Hope this helps.

  • Songs only play half way through and move on to next one

    I have been using iTunes (10.5) on my Macbook Pro, OS 10.6.8 with no problems until this morning.  When I turned on iTunes, I got a message stating that this computer was not authorized to play the song I chose. I received the same error message for all the other songs. And these were all songs that I had uploaded from my own CD collection a long time ago. So, I authorized the computer as requested by iTunes, although I thought I had done that before. Now none of the songs finish playing. The songs quit about half way through and then the next song starts. It is *extremely* annoying. Should I reinstall one of the older iTunes versions? Anyone else have this problem? I found old posts from 5-6 yeas ago but no solutions.

    I am sorry to hear. Yes it's very disappointing and the fact that you can't at least re-download your purchase makes it that much more irritating haha well thank you and good luck!

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

    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 entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    Could be a defective SIM.  Try a new one from your carrier.

    Hi brett242424,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The movie would be in your iTunes library, in the Movies application.  However, if the rental period has expired, you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support about your situation:

  • HT2499 I inserted a brand new DVD and it quit half way through and gave me the "skipping over damaged area" message.

    I got this laptop refurbished from Apple in July. It was originally released in October 2011. I have watched DVD's on it previously, but lately, in the past 3 weeks, it's been pooping up the "skipping over damaged area" message. I put in a brand new DVD and half way through, it did it again, and I can't get past it. Any thoughts on what the problem may be?

    You can just open Terminal (in Utilities) and run the rm command (make sure you type it exactly) and then reboot.  With /.AppleSetupDone gone the system will think it is the the second part of an installation, i.e., after it installs and reboots and starts the Setup Assistant.  You will see the Welcome and music all over again and then you can go through the setup prompts again, this time specifying a password.

  • Half way through rented movie video won't work

    I rented a movie and got a little over half way through it and it froze on a scene. I closed the app, opened it. Shut iPad down completely. When I open "videos" all I get is a black screen, same when useless the movie in iPod. I wish hadn't of done the update prior to vacation.

    By the way who do I contact at iTunes to get a refund on the movie I rented?
