I got a new SSD and I cannot put anything onto my iPhone 4S through the SSD, but I can on my old HDD. How can I fix this issue?
So recently I purchased a 250g SSD for my new build, while still keeping my old 1TB HDD. Whenver I try to use iTunes (the latest), I cannot transfer ANYTHING onto my iPhone 4S. There is no "Add to" button, nor can I drag and drop. However, I can do both on my old HDD. I also own an iPad 4, which I can easily use on both drives. This is quite annoying because I have to restart my computer just to add music or videos, etc. I do not want to sync because I will lose all of my music, or whatever else it takes, and I do not want that.
So how can I enable file transferring on my new SSD?
Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer, or drives in this case.
iDevices are designed to only sync to one library (computer). Attempts to sync with a new library will require removing all media from the device and replacing with media from the new library.

Bello, i got a new iPad and i wanted to use iTunes U. I instale debut i can not open It. What should i do. Thank you
Hello Tuka66,
It sounds like you have installed the iTunes U app, but it is not working for you. I would try the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
4. Restart the app
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
5. Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
6. Reinstall the affected app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and then download it again.
Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you may be asked to purchase the app again. Learn more about downloading previously purchased items.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

I recently reinstalled iTunes, and now it won't recognize my iphone so I'm not able to sync the phone with iTunes. How do I fix this?
It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.

I open the firefox and open 3 tabs, when i close 1 tab, all will close down and crashes then it tells me to restart or close. It was never like this!!! How do I fix this problem.
Try to disable Norton addons in Firefox. They will be releasing an update at the end of the month to fix these crashes.

Hi valierie,
To Authorize your Windows laptop:
1. Open iTunes and sign on with your Apple/iTunes ID
2. Press CTL+B to display the top menu
3. Click on Store in that Menu
4. In the dropdown, you should see "Authorize This Computer"
5. Click on that to authorize the computer to your iTunes ID
Cheers,

My old laptop broke so I got a new one. I am trying to install Photoshop elements 7 and am entering my serial number but it isn't accepting it. How do I fix this?
There is no serial number for CC Cloud versions. They are authenticated via your Adobe ID.
Sign in to your Cloud account with your Adobe ID and download the software via the Cloud app. -

I have been streaming videos and music from my phone and iPad. I just got a new MacBookPro and when I try to stream from it, I get the mirror image, but no sound. ????

If you are only having the audio issue when Airplay Mirroring from your MacBook Pro, you may find this forum discussion helpful:

I have a large library that I ripped in AIFF using iTunes. I converted to Mp3 to save drive space, keeping the originals. I have a new computer and want to revert to my original files. iTunes sees the library but is looking for Mp3 files. Suggestions?
You're welcome.
For tips on logical organization within iTunes see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums.

I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password. I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." How do I fix this?
You are getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.
