I got rid of my PC and the hard drive was destroyed. This was done before I deauthorized my computer from ITunes. Is there anyway i can do this now, after the fact. I can't access certain songs in my library now
Help! I got rid of my old PC and the hard drive was destroyed. I forgot to deauthorize it in Itunes and now I can't access a lot of the songs in my library because it says too many computers have been authorized to play the music. IS there anywy I can deauthorize now, after the fact??

My Itunes keeps telling me I can't play certain songs because I already have five computers authorized, but I don't??? How do I fix this. I know over the years, I have had a lot of different computers at my work and that is the only place I use my Itunes at. So how do you unauthorize a computer that isn't even around anymore??
Make sure that yo have the boxed chanced to only sync the checked music. It appears that it is trying to sync ore than those.
You can try unsycing all music and resyncing. -
I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done. When I disconnected it from my computer the ipad went blank then the apple logo appeared midscreen with an elongated oval across the screen under it. Now nothing on the ipad works. I think it was backed up on my computer but I can't find anything that will allow me to sync the two or regain functionality on my ipad. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I would put the ipad in recovery mode and redo the update, once that is done you could restore the ipad from your backup and you would not lose any data.

Otherwise you will have to get them from where you originally obtained them -
My iPhone 4 died. I tried charging it for 3 hours; it wont hard reset or even show up on my computer or itunes. is there anything i can do?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
You can also try going to Settings>General>Reset>Ease all content and Settings. However, you may not be able to restore via iTunes. You might only be able to only restore from iCloud backup if you have a hardware problem, -
My MacBook died and my hard drive was removed, are my existing files only compatible with Apple products? Are the files encrypted with Apple OS or am I able to import my files to Microsoft programs?
The drive as a whole can’t be read on a PC without installing software such as MacDrive on it.
The answer varies for individual document files; some file formats can be read by Windows software, while others can't.

I had previously had an iphone5 but it got stolen and I just got the iphone5s. I had previously backed up my old iphone to my itunes, and didnt have time to restore it to my new phone. I had taken pictures with my new iphone and when i connected it to my laptop i changed the setting to backup with icloud and it deleted all my current pictures and things and replaced them with what was on my old phone. Is there anyway I can undo this and get my pictures back?
Almost certainly you lost the previous iPhone 5S photos. But just in case you might have saved them ...
On your iPhone 5S, check Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and find the time (if any) that you made an iCloud backup. If you made one before you deleted the iPhone 5S' photos, they are on iCloud. If that's the case, you can retrieve them by doing Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings and then restoring that iCloud backup to the iPhone. Of course, you would then lose the iPhone 5's photos from the iPhone 5S.
It's extremely unlikely you performed this iCloud backup at the right time, but it's your only chance. -

I was trying to clear space on my C drive and decided to delete programs that I didn't use or that I didn't recognize. (Bad idea, I know that now.) Anyways, accidentally deleted a program that iTunes needed to run and the computer said it would undo the uninstall and restart to fix the problem but when it restarted iTunes was gone. So my question is, after I download iTunes again, is there a way I can just backup my iPod to it's last sync (which was coincidentally right before I accidentally deleted iTunes) instead it being cleared of all its data? All of iTunes' files are still on my computer except the actual program itself.
Hi, InsaneCharlie.
Thanks for the question. I see you have uninstalled iTunes and want this program back. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes if present and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes. If none of your data was modified in the iTunes media folder, then your data should be present upon installation.

If you receive any errors when uninstalling any components of iTunes, try the steps in the article below for each component that gives you an error.
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert appears when removing Apple software in Windows

since i have updated my phone an the itunes on my laptop half of my songs have gone off the phone is there anyway of gettin them back thanks x
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device. -
please help
Hi Samantha,
Are you aware that if you restore your ipad that you will lose all data from your ipad and very difficult to get it back unless you had previously made a back-up of your data on itunes or in the cloud. and that would be on the computer you set those up on. (There are some independent apps out there that might help restore data but I don't have any experience with them...)
Also, I think if you restore on another computer you're supposed to have administrator rights and have the latest itunes update. And I think if you sync (if restoring is considered syncing with another computer, you'll be locked out of your computer or a new one.)
I don't know if there is a way for you to safely eject your ipad from your mom's laptop and find another way, but please read this
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
Also, I suggest you start a new post and title it something like First, stuck on update and now on Restore on another computer. Please HELP! And then tell the story of your problem that you originally included and your follow-up efforts to restore given a suggestion on previous post (though I think you SHOULD AVOID RSTORE if you can.) And refer them to your original post
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22050045?ac_cid=tw123456#22050045
Hope this helps and if you can get back to your ios before the upgrade, stay with it. I hope it all works out for you.
FYI - If it's a new or refurb bought within the past year you might be able to have it replaced by Apple. -

Can't access certain songs in I-tunes.
When using I-movie, I can not use MANY of my I-tune purchases. I attempt to load a song into I-movie...it loads but then...I-movie will not allow it have any audio. The name of the song appears in the edit area, but NO audio is available. I did change from SNOW LEOPARD to MAVERICK and that DID give me different version of I-movie. Ever since then, I can't use those files....

I tried to update my phone to the IOS 7.06 and it messed up my phone and said i need to connect to itunes. Is there any way i can fix my phone without connection to itunes because i am out of town
You'll very likely need iTunes. But you might as well try a reset since you're out of town.
Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds. Hopefully you will see an Apple logo and then some progress.
