  • Purchased Songs Do Not Show up in iTunes or on iPod

    I switched my iTunes Library from a PC to a Mac using this method:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US
    Before I added songs to my Mac, I bought some using iTunes. I then added my songs from my PC using the link above. When I went back to look up all my songs, the songs that I purchased on my Mac before adding my new songs from the windows were not there. Does anyone know why this is or how I can fix or retrieve my songs?

    Did you follow these steps from the end of that article?
    +*Add existing music on new computer back in*+
    +If you already had some music on your new computer, and you want to incorporate it into the music you just moved from your old computer:+
    +Choose File > Add to Library (Mac OS X) or Add Folder to Library (Windows).+
    +Navigate to the iTunes folder on your Desktop.+
    +Click Choose (Mac OS X) or OK (Windows).+
    +Note: Information like ratings and play count are not preserved for these songs.+

  • Ipod won't change from 'do not disconnect message', won't show up in itunes

    My aunt has asked me to figure out how to get her ipod nano to work. So this is my story:
    When I plug it into the usb port is says 'Do not disconnect'. The menu and other buttons are unresponsive. If I reset it, it will say do not disconnect again. It will show up in windows explorer but not itunes.
    1. I checked out itunes, and it is itunes 4. (4.7.0.42) So I downloaded itunes 7 (you need itunes version 6 or better I think). I tried to install it but that was unsuccessful. I could not get past the 'stopping service' portion of the install. I got this message:
    'error 1921. Service Ipod Serivce (iPodService) could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient priveleges to stop system serices.
    I got that error twice, once when my ipod was connected to the computer and without it connected.
    2. I tried to reinstall from the cd. It said to connect the ipod to see if it needs formatting. I did and it was apparently formatting. Although it never finished after about 30 minutes I gave up and closed it down.
    3. It appears to be charging because I get the battery with a lightning bolt when it is connected to the computer.
    4. Periodically I will get this message:
    The selected port, COM1, is not available at this time. HotSyncManager will open the port when it becomes available.
    So how can I get the latest itunes installed correctly and how do I get the ipod to work? (right now it never says anything other than 'do not disconnect' and it doesn't show up in itunes)
    Thanks.

    I have found a solution.
    The cd I was trying to format the ipod nano for was for a different ipod mini. So that is why I had problems formatting.
    As for installing the itunes software: I found a troubleshooting page for it. There was a section that described uninstalling quicktime, ipod, and itunes programs and manually deleting files and restarting. That worked for me, after that I was able to install itunes 7 and I could use the ipod nano.

  • I updated my iPod and now my songs won't show?

    I plugged in my iPod and it asked if I wanted to update it and I did. After that none of my songs would appear on my iPod, but itunes showed in the left pane that everything was on it. I read another topic with the same problem and I think I need to update my itunes software..however..it won't update because it says I need XP or Vista...I have 2000. I can't go a day without my iPod what do I do?!?

    That's the kind of solution I'm interested in, Farias. Who does apple think they are to have me update my iPod and THEN tell me AFTER THE FACT that I need to purchase a new $50 OS if I want to continue using. And when they keep asking me if I want to update they need to give me a link with information about the update so that I fully understand what I'm getting, therefore I'll be absolutely certain whether I want to update at all. This is my second iPod so I've spent well over $450 on them with the iPod and the songs I've purchased from iTunes...I don't just have $50 dollars to go and buy XP because they're under a "contract"...I didn't get any kind of newsletter informing me of that. Apple better find a way to fix my problem without me paying a penny otherwise I'll ask for a Zune for christmas.

  • HT1848 HOW CAN I FIND MY SONGS ON MY COMPUTER AND TRANSFER THE SONGS THAT I DIDNT BUY FROM ITUNES TO MY SAMSUNG S4???????

    How?  I don't understand why I am having so much difficulty not only trying to find the songs that I purchased through itunes but the music I already had that is only stored on my iphone at the moment.  I had to re-install my computer so I lost everything that was on it.  WHY???  Is this so difficult to figure out???  My iphone plays the songs, I want them on my samsung s4.  How do i do it?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you put them on your computer, then they will be in your "Library" in itunes.
    You sync them to your iphone as you did before.
    Open itunes, plug in iphone, select what you want to sync and sync.

  • Upgraded to Windows Vista computer and now my ipod won't show videos/pics

    I recently bought a new computer. Around the same time my ipod broke and I got a brand new one. Everything works on it except the videos and I can't sync any pics. The videos will show up in my recently added list, with the little tv pic but if click on it, I only get audio. The same thing happens under the recently added in my video playlist. However none of the videos, podcasts, or movies show up under their respective menus. All software is up to date, and all of the equipmnt is new. I'm at a loss. Please help.

    You need iTunes 11.1  or later
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • IPod nano won't show up on iTunes

    I got a new iPod nano 4GB (3G) last week and it worked fine for a while. Yesterday, I installed a new DVD burner and drivers (Memorex) in my computer and now, my iPod won't show up on iTunes. It says: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
    I unistalled iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, iPodService, Safari, and anything Apple from my computer and installed them into different folders. However, I'm still getting this problem even after multiple reinstalls AND system restore. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hey yall, at one point I had this problem and tryed these things>>> Try putting the white cord into a different USB port.(make sure that it is not dusty(blow in it to clear it out)). The day I got my ipod nano my computer had been on and would do it(very slow) so try restarting computer and then different USB port. You may also try resetting your iPod nano if you cant fix it. To reset turn hold switch on and then off and then hold the center butten and the MENU butten together for 6 to 10 sec. Hope this helps! Let me know!

    I have the exact same problem. It connects fine, and I have the updated version of iTunes, but when I plug it in, it says "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPos's software."
    I tried to delete iTunes completly off of my computer, but it said that, "A later version of iTunes is already on this machine. Removal cannot continue."

  • IPod won't show up on itunes or mac, freezes, and doesn't play bought songs

    Okay i have four issues with my iPod
    1. It won't show up on iTunes or on Mac desktop
    2. When i plug it into the USB port it freezes and say 'Do Not Disconnect'. It will not come out of this
    3. Every single song i have bought won't play on my iPod. They transfer fine, but when i click on a bought song it simply skips over it
    4. I authorized this computer but songs still need authorizing, and i have already authorized them
    So we bought a new Mac and i plugged in my 30 GB video iPod for the first time. It showed up in iTunes then so i synced it to our new computer. Then i tried to listen to my bought songs and they simply wouldn't play. The iPod just skipped over them. I had one song out of three hundred or so that were bought actually play. Then i tried reauthorizing my new computer and getting rid of all the old computers that had been authorized. That didn't work, and the songs that actually needed to be authorized wouldn't be authorized even when i clicked on them.
    So then i unplug and just listen to it as is for awhile but then i try plugging it in again and it just doesnt show up on my Mac desktop or iTunes. And the screen becomes frozen with the same message, 'Do Not Disconnect' I wait for a half an hour for it to show up and it never does. I have no choice to unplug it and then it is still frozen with that same message. Five hours pass, and it is still like that. It finally goes off and then it simply doesnt work. So i plug it in to my charger and its fine except the whole not playing bought songs business.
    Please i beg if you have any answers to any of these problems HELP!!!!!

  • When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

    When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
    When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999).    So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
    Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
    How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them?  This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

    Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
    Then exit iTunes and open it up again.  Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match).  If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.
