  • I upgraded to 5.01 and lost all my CD music files. Worse, I have had to change my computer and while I can see a list of files in Itunes on the new machine I cannot download them. What's to be done?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
    In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • I had to reset my computer and redownload Itunes. My iphone 5 will not connect to the new itunes i have trusted the computer but it keeps bringing up the same question each time i reconnect to the computer. How can i get my phone to connect to itunes

    Hey ebe301,
    Sorry to hear about your troubles with your PC. If you are not seeing your iPhone on your computer, then take a look at the link below to walk you through getting that working again. It will have you verify that drivers are installed and working as well as any third party software that may be causing conflicts.

  • HT203167 just bought a new computer and installed itunes. I have de authorized my old computer and authorised my new computer but i cannot find my music lists. Any idea how to access them?

    just bought a new computer so I am trying to access my music on itunes but i can't seem to find it. I have de authorized my old computer and installed itunes on my new computer but my music doesn't seem to be there. Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

    Your music and playlissts will only be where you put them.
    Have you copied them to your new computer from your old one?

  • Can I stream things directly from the time capsule to my AppleTv without using my computer?

    I have an older MacBook and I'm worried about the storage so I want to get things moved to a Time Capsule.  I was just wondering if I can stream things directly from the Time Capsule to the AppleTV without having to store them in iTunes on my computer and play them off of there.

    You cannot stream from a TC .. it is not a media device.. you can store movie files on the TC but you still need to run the computer to play them.
    Depending on how you connect this can cause dramatic slowdowns.
    A WD Live TV can play raw movie files from a TC.. because it is not a media streamer which is all the ATV is, it is a full media player.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back UP
    - Restore the iPod from that backup

    For other music you will have to get it from where yo originally obtained it.

  • My Epson 645 printer can't see the SSID from my Time Capsule but computers and iPhones can. Any explanation/fix?

    I could understand better if none of my devices could see the AirPort, but everything works fine except my Epson printer and my Canon printer--they simply can't see the SSID when I try to set them up.
    I've had them a year, they have been working fine until today. I simply can't explain the printers couldn't se it, but everything else can.

    Power cycle the printers themselves is perhaps the most important.
    The wifi outage is related.. no doubt about that.
    Sometimes Apple names are difficult for non apple (ie stuff made by anybody but apple) to work with.
    If you have no luck.. full reset is the order of the day.
    Use all names that meet SMB network standards.. that means short,, no spaces.. and stick with pure alphanumeric.
    Apple wizard chooses your name.. plus device name.. so you end up with a name like
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule
    This is hopelessly wrong.. reduce it to FBATC
    The wireless name can be even worse..
    When things go wrong.. setup names that are different for both bands.. and put the band in the name.
    So tc24ghz and tc5ghz work well for me.  I often will have a gen number in there as I repair them and need to know which is which so tcgen324ghz is meaningful.. note no full stop.. no punctuation.. no spaces.. you could use other characters like dash or underscore.. but like I said.. stick with simple.
    Last bit is channels.. wireless is subject to interference.. one thing that can happen is someone starting up a wifi device near you.. (or a microwave with a leaky door etc). Stick to fixed channels.
    The idea is to remove the level of voodoo as much as possible.. ie from 80% to a mere 66%..
    All wireless is voodoo but by controlling as much as you can.. you can reduce it slightly.

  • How can I view/copy data from one Time Capsule backup to another computer

    My MBP and MB both back up to Time Capsule. From the MBP I can see it's data on TC via my network but not the backed up data from the MacBook. How can I view and import MB data to my MBP from Time Capsule via AirPort? Thanks!

    Is the backup software Time Machine??
    You can open the TM backup as long as you haven't used profiles to backup. Or encypted it in latest Mountain Lion.
    See Q17 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    You should read through all the stuff about using TM.. and restore in particular.. 14-18.

  • Please help me, I recently had to reset my computer and lost my entire hard

    Hard drive. AFter getting the computer to work again, I reinstalled my Itunes software. I then wanted to transfer my music from my IPOD to my computer. I followed the step by step support instructions and after it told me to click "Consolidate library" nothing happened and i did not know what to do next. Now the music i had on my IPOD is gone and none of my songs are on my ITUNES. All the music i had on my IPOD were playlists. Please tell me there is a way to get my music back. I called Apple support and they told me to try here. I learned a painful lesson after losing my entire hard drive, to back stuff up. The only thing that survived was the music on my IPOD and now that's missing. I am sooo upset, please if anyone can help me recover my songs i would be so happy and appreciative. Thanks for any and all responses and help.

    Thanks for reading my problem and taking the time to answer. The biggest crime of all, is that i followed APPLES SUPPORT page to the letter. It not only didn't help me, but it made my situation worse. Then i call apple to get help on a problem their own information caused, and they tell me i can pay something like $60.00, just to see if they could help. I asked the rep what happens if you can't resolve my issue, and the response was not good. SO basically they caused me to lose all my music and then ontop of that, they wanted to charge me $60.00 just to tell me that "yes your music is gone, and no we can't get it back." what a company. You are right about that long weekend with my cd's. Take care and have a great day.
