I just downloaded an album onto my iPod touch, now my catalog is gone.

First off, my logic board (the second one for this MacBook Pro) died last week. So, now I can't synch to that. Now, I bought an album off iTunes today from my iPod and when it updated, all my 3k+ songs, etc. are gone! How can I get those back? Once I get the data from my old MBP will synching to new computer wipe he album I just bought?
So very very very frustrated with Apple right now, considering the logic board deaths have been common for the generation of MBPs I have.

- iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- An iPod will only sync with one iTunes library. If you sync with another library iTunes will erase the iPod and replace its contents with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
- Q: Once I get the data from my old MBP will synching to new computer wipe he album I just bought?
A: Yes but you can redownload them as above.

HT204370 I registered a digital copy on disneymoviesanywhere and connected with my itunes account but can't find the movies on my itune account. Just want to download the movie onto my ipod touch.

I registered a digital copy of a movie on disneymoviesanywhere. I connected the account to my itunes account but I can't find the movie on my itunes account. I'm just trying to download the movie onto my ipod touch.

Hey cptniemo,
Thanks for the question. Connecting your iTunes Store and Disney Movies Anywhere accounts should sync all of your eligible Disney, Pixar, and Marvel movies between both services. After connecting your accounts, you can check your purchased history in the iTunes Store:
Download past purchases

Alternatively you can download the free Disney Movies Anywhere app from the App Store (iOS 7 required):

I have a Macpro Book and I just downloaded new software to my ipod touch(3rd gen). Now itunes does not recognize it nor will it turn on. I believe it just downloaded but did not update the software. What do I do?

You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

ITunes wont let me download albums onto my ipod touch- only individual songs - help!

Ive tried switching it on and off and downloading 2 songs to see if that would help but it hasnt worked.
The box that I would touch to buy (the one with the price of the album) doesnt do anything when I touch it and doesnt have a little '+' symbol in the top left of the price box like songs in the song list below has. Its driving me crazy!

Contact iTunes. Select the appropriate topic of:
Apple - Support - iTunes

I just downloaded a song onto my Ipod and it will not play. What should I do?

Everytime I try to play it, it just goes to the next song. What should I do?

Try downloading on computer and then sync to your computer.
Next, restore from backup

I just downloaded an album off of itunes and now it will not play all the way through. how do i fix the unfinished songs

i downloaded tragic kingdom by no doubt and about four of tthe songs will play about forty seconds in and switch to the next song, they do not play all the way through. i went through troubleshooting online but it was unhelpful and did not fix my problem. i need help, please!

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I just download an album into iTunes, all songs play fine on iPad, iPhone, but on my Mac there is one song that only plays 10 seconds and then skips to the next song. How do I download onto my Mac again?

I just downloaded an album into iTunes, all songs on album play fine on iPad, iPhone, but on my Mac there is one song that stops 10 seconds into it and then moves to my next song. Can I download this song again? How?

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

If I download an album onto my 5th Gen iPod touch, can i download the digital booklet directly ti my iPod, or do I need to use iTunes on a computer?

I recently bought the Great Gatsby album on my iPod touch 5th generation (great album by the way, I recommend it to everyone). In iTunes, it said the album came with a digital booklet. After downloading all of the music, I opened iBooks to see if it was there. A message popped up that said 'an error occurred while trying to download Great Gatsby Digital booklet' and I tapped retry. The message popped up again and I reluctantly tapped cancel. My question is, is this error message normal, indicating that I need to use a computer to download it, or should I be able to download digital booklets directly to my iPod touch?

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes?, Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes?

Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes? I thought the purpose of purchasing from itunes when you have icloud is that you don't have to download each song/album that you want to hear. I get like 5-10 songs from the last two albums i have downloaded, but not the entire album.

Are you talking about iTunes Match? If so, you don't have to download entire albums, all you have to do is play the songs you want to hear.
If you're asking why you have to download the music at all rather than just playing it from iCloud, the music has to be stored locally on your device, either in permanent or cache memory, in order for your device to play it.

I used to be able to download temple run onto my iPod 2nd generation. I then had to restore the iPod but now I can't re-download temple run onto it. It says you need a higher ios number. Is there anything I can do to get it back?

I used to be able to download temple run onto my iPod 2nd generation. I then had to restore the iPod but now I can't re-download temple run onto it. It says you need a higher ios number. This is the same with many other apps as well and not just temple run. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

So, you need an older version of the iOS app, because the current version no longer works on your iPod touch.
If you do regular backups of your hard drive (as you should), such as by using Apple's built-in Time Machine (if you use a Mac), you may find the older version of the app in the backup archive, and restore it (replacing the newer version). They are stored in the iTunes Media folder, in the Mobile Applications sub-folder. You should then be able to sync the older version to your iPod touch.
I can't think of any other way to get it back...
NOTE: An 2nd gen iPod touch can run up to iOS 4.2.1. If your iPod touch is running something earlier, and that is why the app no longer works, you can also consider updating the iPod's iOS.
I use an even older iPhone (original). I avoid this potential problem by aways updating its apps on the iPhone, not in iTunes on the computer. When I do it on the iPhone, it will not download a newer version of an app that won't run on my old iPhone.

Can you download music straight onto your ipod nano 7th generation without the use of a computer?

so can you download music straight onto an ipod nano without having to sync to a computer, i'm just wondering because my dad wants an ipod but just for music so there's no point him getting an ipod touch, and he doesn't own a computer so he wouldn't be able to sync. he doesn't live with me also so it would be a pain if he had to use my computer every time he wanted to add music to his ipod.
thankssss

No. Sorry. The only way to transfer the music to your ipod is through syncing in iTunes. Cheers!

I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes. Recently my itunes account changed and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds. How to transfer from ipod back to itunes? I don't have the cds anymore.

I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes. Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds. The songs are still on my ipod. I am affraid to sync now because the songs may be deleated, and I don't have the cds anymore. How can I transfer the songs from the cds on my ipod back to itunes so that I don't lose them?

What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not your "account." The "account" you have for iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use when purchasing or downloading from the iTunes Store. If these songs came from music CDs that you imported into iTunes, those songs are not related to your Apple ID.

How are they not "recognized"? Are the songs still listed in your iTunes music library, but grayed out? They no longer appear in your iTunes library at all?
If you search your computer (not in iTunes) for the song files, using one of the song names, can you find the song files?

Never mind, got it to work. I stumbled around on Google for a while and somehow ended up reading things from the 'jailbroken' community. They had easy instructions to get out of Recovery mode. Thanks anyway though!
P.S. For anyone who experiences this, here is the fix: Hold Power and Home in unison for 6 seconds, then power on as normal.
