I have a BIG problem...had to format my computer

I saved all my music, from CD's that I have imported to itunes, so I could format my computer due to a problem with Windows (surprise)! When I open itunes, the shortcut is there, but the music isn't. Can I reload my itune music from my ipod? I have folders with music in them, but have no idea how to get it back from the folders into itunes so I can play them. I am scared to connect my ipod to the computer because I am scared I will lose all my music that is on my ipod. We are talking thousands of songs...it took forever to do this in the beginning...I don't want to import all those CDs again. HELP!!! Thanks

  • Itunes wont sync my music on 5S Apple YOU HAVE A BIG PROBLEM

    Hi,
    Apple YOU HAVE A BIG PROBLEM !!!!
    Having tried all proposed solutions found in the communities, but none of all didn't work !
    I had no problem at all on my previous 4S with IO 7.0.2 , but since last week I get my brand new 5S with IO 7.0.4 & its only a mess to sync all my music on this phone . Latest Itunes is installed on my computer.....
    All music albums are on my 5S, but marked with this red circle with a red dot in the middle ...
    It's a shame that no solutions works & that Apple didn't react to help all the customers to fix this bug!
    I hope that someone @ Apple will read this ....

    This may sound like a terrible solution, but have you tried switching the file format to .m4a (itunes default format) on all of your music?
    If not, it just might work.

  • Please help me, i have a big problem, thank

    hello, sorry for English, but i'm italian.I have a big problem with pre 9. Until yesterday i was working quitley on editing a video of 2 hours; this morning i didn't open anything, even a new project, i open the home of pre and load the project but after the screen remains blank, even if i load a new project. I updated the video card driver (intel hd graphics), i download quick time i had already downloaded, unistalled and re-install the program several times but nothing. I have windoes vista intel core i3, 2 gb of ram. Please help me, yesterday was fine, today i don't know what happens, i'm goin crazy. Thanks a lot I wait for responce, exume for english.

    When someting works one day, but not the next, then something has changed. Finding out what the change is, can be tough.
    Most people have their OS set to update automatically, and they are unaware that an OS update, or hot-fix has been applied. That can change things drastically, and especially with regards to things like audio and video drivers.
    Having an Intel, embedded graphics chip, will limit you on the drivers, as they make good chips, but seem to ignore writing drivers to support those.
    Since things did work, just a day, or so, ago, I would first do a System Restore Point for now. Do this manually. Then, I would reboot to Safe Mode, and choose an earlier System Restore Point. You will be required to reboot. Test things with that earlier system configuration. Please report if things work, as they recently did. Now, if they do, you have at least tracked down a time frame, when something changed. Finding out what it was, is still a task.
    For general PrE problems, see this ARTICLE.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - I have no issues with your English. Like Bob Dix, my Italian is very limited - Gaja, Amarone, Barolo and Imàgo at the Hassler Roma.

  • I have a big probleme ,i download lynux on my ipod

    scuse me for eror on the texte :Im talk French

    p.S:and while passing in did not have of warning for linux or of information saying to me that that will not go on new the ipod
    Yes, it did. Go to the homepage (http://www.ipodlinux.org). Click on "Is my iPod Supported?". Scroll down to the 5th Generation iPod.
    http://ipodlinux.org/Generations#FifthGeneration_:_iPod_withVideo
    In red: NOT SUPPORTED BY IPODLINUX
    And at the top of that page, also in red:
    Note: Items that are not officially supported have had some success with the devs, but you should only consider installing iPodLinux on those generations if you are an advanced computer user, preferrably running Linux or Mac OS X. Ask questions about those iPods in moderation, and only if you know what you're doing. If you don't know what you're doing, we are free to ignore you.

  • Helloo! I have super big problem with my Air.

    Helloo! I have super big problem with my Air,10.8.5 ,it asks every 10 sec to make some changes and asks me for password all the time!! I cant acces my documesnt,pics,music,NOTHING at all! Finder is not working,i cant open any folder,icons are missing also,i cant open any of them,mozzila,chrome..im really going crazy.. i updated tonight my phone on new IOS 7 through my comp,cant be that i messed up everything because of that..this comp.is like 10 days old.
    btw. i created new user,and everything is working ok.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Hi guys, I have a big problem! My bookmark shortcut entry(command D) does not work anymore and do you know by any changes how to undo resetting of Safari? Thnx a million :)

    Hi guys, I have a big problem! My bookmark shortcut entry(command D) does not work anymore and do you know by any changes how to undo resetting of Safari? Thnx a million

    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
    If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
    If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

  • I have a big problem please help me

    Hi,
    first of all, excuse my very bad english.
    I have a big problem. I made a big movie (2 hours) with a lot of effect in iMovie HD and I made a big mistake : I erase it without burning.
    Is there a way to save my life ??? A secret folder with a backup ?
    thanks a lot

    Hi yab-yab:
    Welcome to the discussions! (Your English is not bad)
    How did you delete it? Empty imovie trash? Empty Finder trash?
    Did you look in Applications->iMovie (or wherever you saved it) and see if the movie was saved there? if it is not there, it is gone ;(
