I have over 9000 songs in my itunes and over half of them wont play how do i make it so that all of them will play and i have a windows 7 os installed

You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :

There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date.

The songs on my iPad wont save to my iTunes, how can I get them on my computer?

I want to save all my purchased songs on my iPad to my MacBook but they won't go onto my iTunes. I can add more songs to my iPad that are already on my computer but I can't do the opposite. Can anyone help?

When connected try File > Devices > Transfer purchases from Ipad.
It seems that now you need to do this extra manual step. Whereas before it was part of sync'ing.
Hopefully Apple will fix this bug.

TS1702 Just had to have my iMac reinstalled due to a fault. Now OK, but I have lost iMovie, iPhoto and pages which i had already purchased. How do I get them back ?

How do i get Imovi, Iphoto, and pages back after have to reinstall my operating system due to a fault ?

If you bought them from the Mac App Store then they should show in the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store app on your Mac. If they were pre-installed then you might be better off asking the iMac or Mavericks forums, this forum is for questions about the iTunes store.

Purchased songs lost when syncing from my iphone to itunes, how do I get them back?

I have not had my iphone to my labtop for a month, Connected it just now, and when itunes was done syncing only the two newest purchases, of about 20 over the last month, was synced.
None of the others are left on either the iphone, nor are their anywere to be found on my itunes...
How do I retriewe them????

Agree but annoyed that the IPhone syncs just about everything automatically except photo in camera roll. I just use windows explorer to copy and paste the photo files to my PC subdirectory. IPhone does sync photos from a chosen pc subdirectory to your Iphone. Strange they go only one way when "syncing" to me means maintaining both devices with the same files. Oh well, maybe the next OS will do it.

I have bought music directly on my ipod,i have also bought films and music on itunes on my computer, how do i get them all onto my computer without accidentally deleting everything off my ipod? I did this a while a go and had to spend 100's re-buying

Help! I have bought music directly onto my ipod, i have also bought films and music directly onto my computer from itunes, how can i put them all onto the computer? My ipod is acting a little odd and i think its going to break at some point, so i really want to save everything i've bought. Last year i tried to sync them thinking that my music would go onto the computer, but it actually just deleted everything off my ipod, i haven't been game to try anything again.

Transfer iTunes purchases by:

TS1702 When we double tap the home button, only about half of the icons appear at the bottom. How do we get them all to appear?

WHen we double tap the home button, only about half of the apps appear. How do we get them all o appear?

If an app freezes on you - you can try force quitting the app.
Force quit the app by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then hold down on the home button until the app quits. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop(2012) and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be able to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Any help gratefully received !!

Graham,
For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc. For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too. If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

I have allowed my iTunes Match subscription to expire, because of a limited data plan so can't listen to music outside my house. My music files were removed from my computer and are inaccessible without renewing the subscription. How do I get them back?

Hi,
I presume you deleted the original files as match would not have done so. Do you have a back up. If so, restore your music from that. If not, your will have lost all your music as this needed to be on your hard drive when you unsubscribed.

You have viruses because you jailbroke your phone, and now you're probably spreading them to other phones. Nice.
Jailbroken phones are generally bricked for good. Throw it away, it's junk.

I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

Photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are removed from your photo stream but not from any device that has already received them. Chances are, the 44 photos are from the last 30 days; the others are not there because they are no longer in your photo stream.
If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring to the backup should recover them. However, you will have to restore to the entire backup to do so. If they weren't backed up or imported to your computer, there is no way to recover them now.
To be sure your photos are saved, regularly import them from the camera roll to your computer as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
