I have had to compleatly restore my computer and lost my Itunes. I now want to transfer my phone music libry to the computer again is this possible without wiping it?

So you have all you music on the iPhone, right? and you want to transfer FROM the iPhone TO the computer?
You can't do that with iTunes as far as i know, but you could probably get by that going through "this computer" or something.. I'm not sure, but technically it should be possible.
good luck!

I had to change my Apple ID and password in itunes. Now my icloud doesn't work and I can't update my apps on my iPhone. I have looked at suggestions on the community pages and apple suggestions but none of them are relevant to iOS 8.1.2
icloud just keeps bringing up my old email address & asking for my old password which doesn't exist anymore and when I try to sign out of icloud it wants my old password, when I tried to change my primary email back to the old one it wants me to verify it through an email address that doesn't exist. Please can you help me sort out this nightmare.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

HT1473 I recently had to replace my hard drive and lost my iTunes library. Now I cannot transfer the library from my iPod to iTunes on the new hard drive (same computer). How can I complete the transfer?

I recently had to replace my hard drive and lost my iTunes library. When I try to transfer the content from my iPod to iTunes on the new hard drive (same computer), it would only let me transfer iTunes store purchases. How can I complete the transfer of all the content on the iPod back onto the computer?

I have formatted my computer and re installed itunes. However, I cannot see my purchased musics/movies/books on my library anymore. I can see my purchased registration on my account, but I don't know how can I do to download it back to my pc. Any ideas?

Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

I recently had to get a new harddrive for my computer and lost my itunes. But i have a ipod touch and was wondering if i just download itunes again and sync it with my ipod would all my song and apps be transfered over?

I need to know if i just downloaded itunes to my new computer and synced it with my ipod touch if all me songs would transfer over?

No, they won't transfer over, however, there are third party PC/Mac programs which will transfer the content of your iPod to your computer. Just do a Google search on this topic and you will find them (e.g. senuti)

When ever my ipod is connected to the computer and download an app it wont install, when ever my ipod is connected to the computer and download an app it wont install

when ever my ipod is connected to the computer and download an app it wont install in itunes 11

What happens when you try?
Can you sync music?
Have you synced apps from this computer/iTunes library before? You an only sync app from the one syncing computer you can have.
Are the apps compatible with your model iPod/iOS
Do you have restrictions set that would prevent installation of those apps?

Crashed computer and lost all itunes...

my Computer crashed and i lost all my music on my itunes. i still have it all on my iphone, but can i somehow get all my music from my iphone to my new computer or is it gone forever if i resync with my new computer??

This is one of the reasons why maintaining a backup for the important data on your computer's hard drive stored on an external drive or some other external media is important, which should included your iTunes library.
Did you lose all important data on your computer's hard drive, or just your iTunes library?
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content from an iPod or iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

I have had a time capsule for years and it worked well. Now my airport utility states it is unable to find any airport wireless devices. When I rescan, I get the same response. I access the internet wirelessly through my Time Capsule - that part works.

My time capsule is currently not backing up my MAC. My airport utility states it can't find any airport wireless devices. But I can access the internet via my time capsule. I was trying to reset my time capsule but it won't let me since the airport utiity states it can't find any airport wireless devices.

i was having the same problem. i held the reset button on my airport express for ten seconds, waited for it to restart and than unplugged my internet modem for 15 seconds and waited for it to restart and my wireless worked. but when i go to setup everything through the airport utility everything goes to crap and i have to start over again. i don't get it.

I cannot download itunes on my laptop. i have had it for years. i went to do a itunes update now i cant get itunes

i am having trouble downloading itunes

Do you use Firefox? I've read that it has problems downloading iTunes. Another browser like Google Chrome might work better.

We have an iMac desktop computer and Firefox is opened but not functioning. Safari works, so it isn't the computer's fault. How can we fix Firefox?

Can we talk to a tech support person?

Billweins,
What you could try to do is (if not done yet) :
# Uninstall Firefox
#Download Firefox most recent version from [[http://mozilla.org/firefox Mozilla]]
#Re-install Firefox.
If the error persists, I would tell you to follow these steps :
We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing when you open it. Please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.
#'''(OS X 10.6 or previous)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. Your home folder will be selected. In the right side of the window, click the Library folder to open it. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.<br>'''(OS X 10.7 or above)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the '''Go''' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select '''Library'''. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.
#Open the 5 most recent files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

Re formated my computer and lost my tunes and itunes cd

Hi, my mum re formated her computer and lost my itunes. I know want to create a new iTunes but have lost the cd to set it up. I've created a new itunes through the website but cannot install smart sound and when i plug my ipod in it says I have to sync my ipod. i don't know what to do! Please help.
Many thanks.

I'm sorry, I'm not following your response. If you mother has iTunes on her computer and you want to add your music back, you can use the article links I provided above to transfer your music from your iPod back to your mother's computer.
If you have Windows XP and internet explorer 7 you can get rid of the downloads you don't want to install by going to Start>Then right click on Internet at the top of your first column.
When the menu opens, choose Properties. On the first tab, click on Delete under Browsing History. When the next box opens Click on Delete Files next to the Temporary Internet Files box. That should clean out your temporary folder where these downloaded files are being stored.
Regarding your question about Windows Media--this forum is for iTunes users. If you have questions about Windows Media you'll have to go to the Microsoft forums.
Smartsound isn't an Apple product either, so you'll have better luck getting advice in a more specific discussion forum.

I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized. Help!

I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized.
I have searched high and low and there does not seem to be a way to authorize the iPod Classic. What can I do to sync my purchases to my iPod? I have tried reformatting/restoring it as suggested. It continues to only allow me to sync non-icloud/itunes content.
Help!

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

My iPhone will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings. I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing

My iPhone 4 will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings, I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing, I have literally done every method I was told, I checked for water damage and that's fine. I don't want to restore my phone or buy a new one or pay for repairs because that's wasting money when it could be a simple way to fix it. And yes, I've also tried charging it and turning it in. I really need some help with my phone

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

I have had to compleatly restore my computer and lost my Itunes. I now want to transfer my phone music libry to the computer again is this possible without wiping it?
