I have 4 songs I have purchased that are "protected" but they don't come up in the itunes plus for purchase to unprotect them. How do I get them "unprotected"?

I have some songs I want to sync to my EVO but they are protected. Others I have purchased for the $.30 on Itunes plus to have them "unprotected" but these 4 songs do not show up on the Itunes plus. How do I get them so they are unprotected?

Until Apple releases the iTunes Match feature of iCloud, if the tracks don't appear as eligible for iTunes Plus, there's no direct way to convert them. You can, however, burn those tracks to audio CD which will then behave just as would any other standard audio CD.

Why do i have songs on my iPad that are not in my iTunes?

I have songs on my ipad that are not in my itunes music library. Why is this and how can i get them into itunes?
Thanks,
BudSteiner

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer ipod songs. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

HT203167 My ringtones are no longer on my phone nor my iTunes. I've purchased them, how do I get them back?

Hi !
Do you have a backup ?
or
Do you save your device on iCloud ?

When you get the new iPhone 5S they say it come with al the iWork apps for free install already. But if i restore from back-up from an old device which doesnt have any iWork apps would I still receive those iWork Apps?

Hey Davin12,
Yes. The apps are not pre-installed, but rather you are prompted to download them the first time you launch the App Store in iOS 7:
About Free Apple Apps for iOS 7 compatible devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5913
iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated or purchased after September 1, 2013
The first time you launch the App Store in iOS 7 on your qualifying new or factory refurbished iOS device, you will be offered iMovie, iPhoto, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers for free in addition to other free software from Apple. When you tap Download All and sign in with your Apple ID, the apps will be downloaded to your device and added to your store account. If you tap Not Now when you see the offer, you can go back to each of the apps in the store and download them one at a time for free.
Thanks,

By any chance, did you have the Find My iPhone app installed prior to it being stolen?

Hopefully you had your iTunes purchases backed up to an external source such as an external drive or CD's?

All my iCloud photos are downloading to one of my computers, but only the last month's worth to another. How can I get them all to download to both computers?

All my iCloud photos are downloading to one of my computers, but only the last month's worth to another. How can I get them all to download to both computers?

When you on photo stream you will only get photos from the last 30 days (plus future photos added to your stream). That's because they only remain in iCloud for 30 days.
To get the old photos on your computer, import them using your usb cable, as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.

I just installed a larger hard drive, and used my Time Machine Backup to transfer my info back to the new hard drive. When I open Iphoto, my thumnails are there, but they aren't linked back to the actual photos.I see the photos in my HD. What should I do

I just installed a larger hard drive, and used my Time Machine Backup to transfer my files back to the new hard drive. When I open Iphoto, my thumbnails are there, but they aren't linked back to the actual photos. I see the original photo files in my HD. Is there a way to link the Iphoto thumbnails back to the original files?

Use the Firewire cable and t boot the old Mac's hard drive to the new Mac's desktop and transfer your entire iPhoto folder.
Use Disk Utiliy to erase'format HFS+ Journaled your TimeMachine drive and use the free Carbon Copy Cloner and clone your new boot drive to the external, it's hold option bootable.

I turned on home sharing, and it doesn't show up in my library. I tried switching it off and it still won't show up. I know other itunes are open and they don't show up in my itunes. What do I need to do? I have the newest version of itunes

I have the latest version of itunes. I turned on the home sharing, and it asked for my ID and everything and it said it loaded. Then I went to open another library up and I don't know if the library is available to me. How do I get to the other library from my computer? I'm using the same home sharing username and password, but i don't see it. The other library has the latest version as well.

If you click View, Show Sidebar you will see the other libraries under Shared in the left hand column. Click on the Library you want and you can expand it to select Music, Movies etc. Select whatever items you want and click import if you want to move them to your Library.
You will have to have all computers authorised with the relevant Apple ID's
Store > Authorise this computer...
This is separate from the Home Sharing username and password and is to allow playing of DRM Movies, TV shows etc from the other computer.
If both Computers use the same apple id this step is not required.

You have to change it using iTunes on your computer, as explained here: Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support. (This article: iCloud: View or change your iCloud payment information no longer works with iOS 8 or Yosemite.)

All my apps. are automatically shutting off when I try to use them.. They were working just fine yesterday, and today they just kick me back to my home screen! How do I get them to start working again. And my sleep/wake button is broken... so how do I reset if that is the solution?

I have the current version of iTunes and when I plug my device in, the library says that I have songs on my device that are not showing up on my iPod touch. How do I get these songs on my device?

On iTunes, my library says that I have a lot of songs on my device that do not show up on my actual iPod touch. These songs disappeared from my iPod when I plugged it in, then they showed back up, but with a red square and circle, and now, after syncing and autofilling, they are gone again. How do I get these songs from my iTunes "ON MY DEVICE" library to my actual device?

Red square in red circle cannot play songs
My iPod isn't playing certain songs. Help?

I have songs on my computer that are located in media music folder, but they won't play in iTunes

My iTunes will not play some songs that are in the play list, then helps me locate them in the media folder for songs, but will not import those songs or play them.

Aperture says I have over 12,000 images that are referenced, but when I search all photos, I see nothing. Where are my images?

This is the second time I've been worried that Aperture is simply losing my images.
I am setting up a second drive to backup monthly and keep at a different location. When I prompt Aperture to set up a new vault, it tells me that over 12K of images are referenced and won't be backed up.
The first problem here is that I shouldn't have any referenced images. I used to reference, but that got all kinds of messed up (even though I was only using a single HD to do it). After searching manually to find all of my images that were where they should be but Aperture couldn't find them, I shifted everything to managed. This was frustrating since the photos existed, but Aperture just "forgot" about them, but I am in so deep with Aperture it'll be nightmare to shift to LightRoom (and I don't even really know if that's a solution to the problem)
The second problem is that okay, if I have referenced images, then Aperture should be able to find them, right? Wrong. A search of all my photos for photos as "referenced", "missing", "offline" yields nothing.
So it leads me to wonder: do i really have referenced images? Has my library been screwed up again somehow?
Even after rebuildling, I still can't find these so-called referenced images. If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful. I don't want to switch software — will Lightroom really be any better anyway — and I love Aperture's workflow and UI. Not to mention how it ties to iCloud, etc.

Ian, rebuilding your library might solve the problem, but before you rebuild, make sure you have a backup of your library - a clone with super duper or carbon copy cloner would be better than a Time Machine Backup.
If rebuilding does not help, try to recreate by creating a new library and importing the old one into the new one.
As to the missing referenced images, how do the numbers add up that the Vault panel shows:
xxx managed will be included
yyy referenced images will not be backed up
Do the sums xxx+yyy add up the total of your images when you select the "Photos" view? Then it would be only a question of the vault assuming the wrong file status, not a question of missing images. Do you miss any images that should be there, when you browse your projects?
