I have a Nano, where I changed computers and moved my library.  Now my nano doesn't recognize the location or the song on the nano.  How do I update my library so the nano will recognize.

I  have an IPOD Nano.  I had it originally set up on another computer where I would down load my songs that I purchased from ITunes.  My Nano would sync up with my PC when I would plug it in.  I had to change computers, so I moved all my songs / library to my new PC.  I downloaded the ITunes process to my new PC and then purchased a song.  I saw the song in my download area of my PC under ITunes Media / downloads.  However, my nano would not sync as it is still referencing the prior location, which was on my old PC.  I moved the song directly to the Nano when it was plugged in.  I see the song on the Nano directory when I have it plugged in to the PC via the USB cable.  I even click on the song and I hear it play from the Nano on the PC.  However, when I go to look for the song directly from my song listing from the Nano music screen, it doesn't list he song or the artist as being on the Nano.
I have tried to follow the online instructions for erase and sync the old library to the new, but that doesn't happen.  Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong in moving from one PC to another.  Seems to me this should be a much simplier process.  But I find working with Apple products they are all harder to deal with.  I would appreciate your help.
Mel

I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes.  I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format.  However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there.  I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC.  I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files. 
Thanks for your help, Mel

  • HT1222 i have an issue where i changed phones and my other computer was stolen   so i cannot figure out if i am being hacked or how and why my itunes password keeps

    i changed iphones and also the original competer i had was a apple desk top was stolen,,, problem i have a newer macbook pro and iphone 5 and someone is changing my paswords in itunes icloud and apple

    I had the same error when trying to update my apps on my ipod touch. I tried to input my security code numerous times to no avail. I also made sure my billing address was the same as what my bank had on file. To fix the issue I went into iTunes, logged onto the iTunes store, went to account settings and reviewed my recent purchases. Turned out that I had made a recent purchase and didn't have enough money left on my credit card to pay for it at the time. I paid off the credit card, and then input my security code once more and now it works fine. I've heard that some debit or pay as you go credit cards require a minimum balance, so make sure you have at least that amount in your account.

  • TS1389 Hi, I am Natalie Prince and I opened my Itunes account in 2006 when I got my Ipod.  I purchased lots of music.  Over the years I haved changed computers and phones.  I now have an HTC One and I want all the songs from my old account on it.

    I think I had an old itunes id.  When I go to Itunes on my program list all of my music comes up, there are probably a hundred or two songs.  But it never let me burn them to anything other than my Ipod.  I changed my password so now when I pull up my account there is no music.  Can anyone tell me how to find my old account and then copy that music to my HTC One.?

    Either you did or did not.  Do you not remember?

    Media is not burned to iDevices.  Burning an iDevice would destroy it. 
    Why will iTunes not allow you to sync media to the iDevice?  What happens when trying to sync media to an iDevice?

    Changed password to what?
    Pull up what account?
    What does this have to do with iTunes?
    One does not pull up an account to access their media, they simply launch iTunes.
    Changing a password has nothing to do with accessing the media on the computer when one launches iTunes.
    What is the actual issue that is occurring?

    iTunes has nothing to do with putting media on a non-Apple device.

  • I Have iTunes since 2008. I have changed computers and I know have old libraries but iTunes do not locate a lot of songs when I try to play it. How can I correct this situation?

    I Have iTunes since 2008. I have changed computers and I know have old libraries in my Hard Disk but iTunes do not locate a lot of songs when I try to play it. How can I correct this situation?

    When iTunes say that try to find the file you want iTunes to play in your iTunes > Media folder.  If iTunes offers to find others, let it. If it does not find them all you will have to find them yourself or re-add the files from your drive to iTunes (use Automatically Add to iTunes folder).

  • I recently changed computers and lost all my playlists from my itunes on my computer, i have them still on my phone. Is there a way i can get them back without making them all again?!

    i recently changed computers and lost all my playlists from my itunes on my computer, i have them still on my phone. Is there a way i can get them back without making them all again?!

    If the books were purchased at the iBookStore, you will be able to redownload, like the apps. Some other sellers, like O'Reilly, also allow multiple downloads.
    If you have (or can install) iTunes on a computer (Mac preferable, not mandatory) and run it then plug the device in, does it show up? If the computer can detect it, you can and should do a complete backup onto local storage immediately. That can then be used to reconstruct the content of the device on a new or repaired replacement. If you enable encryption, even the passwords will get saved.

  • On my windows Itunes I changed computers and ended up with two of every song. How do I delete the duplicates without doing it one at a time?

    I have duplicates of all the songs on my windows 7 computer.  I changed computers and ended up with duplicates of all of my songs. How can I delete them all without having to do it one at a time? thanks!

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

  • Changing computers and keeping my library

    Help,
    I recently changed computers and when I put the movie I bought at the itunes store all my songs were erased. Then I re downloded all my songs into my computer and then onto my ipod. It takes 7hours to download this movie and hours to download the songs again. I am having to get another computer. Is there a way to do this quicker or keep what I have when in my new computer? That is taking my Library of songs and movies and putting these in my ipod without hours of work or keeping what is on my ipod without erasing my current library of movies and songs?

    If you're transferring Mac to Mac, just get a Firewire cable and put the source computer into Target Disk Mode (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583). The other computer will see it as a hard drive, so you can just drag and drop your iTunes folder to the new computer.

  • I've changed computers and lost my music?

    I've changed computers and lost my music?  What to do? I signed in and a blank library came up.

    Your music is where it always has been, on the other computer. Music downloads to the computer via which you purchase the track; you don't see it just because you log into the iTunes Store on another computer. If you still have access to that other computer, you can copy the iTunes library from that computer to your new one.
    If, however, you don't still have access to that old computer and you are in the US, make sure you have at least iTunes 10.3.1, then go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the new Purchases link under the Quick Links. The new iTunes in the Cloud service, currently in beta as part of iCloud, may allow you to re-download your purchased content (music, videos and TV shows are only available to US users at this time). You can also do this from an iOS device.
    For more information, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you are outside the US, then you normally get only one download per purchase. If you don't have access to the old computer, or have a backup or have the tracks on a iPod or other iOS device, then you'll have to contact the iTunes Store, request a second download, and hope they'll make an exception for you:

    i changed my apple id and password but how can i update my iphone with the new apple id and password?i changed my apple id and password but how can i update my iphone with the new apple id and password?

    You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
