  • I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac.  The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out.  How do I get them recognized.

    I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac.  The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out.  How do I get them recognized.  The symbol states the songs were downloaded from iCloud.  I would like to get them to play so that I can make a playlist, and burn a CD.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • I have changed my Apple ID on my iPad, but my iPhone keeps popping up with the old ID.....how do I get all my devices to use the same ID?

    How can I get all my devices to use the same Apple ID?

    Different services on your iOS device (iMessage, Facetime, iCloud, iTunes and App Store) can be signed into with an Apple ID of your choice. Make sure you verify the settings for each device and that you are signed in to each service with the correct Apple ID.
    I'll do an example for iMessage:
    1) Go to settings on your iOS device
    2) Select "Messages"
    3) Select "Send & Receive"
    4) At the very top you will see "Apple ID", by selecting your Apple ID, you will now have the option to sign out of messages with the current Apple ID, and sign in with the new one.
    The steps for changing your Apple ID for other services will be very similar.
    tHIS SHOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TOO YOU.

  • I just got a brand new battery god my iPhone 4S at the apple support and it's still draining super fast

    I just got my battery on my iPhone 4S replaced at the apple store and it's a brand new battery and I've had the battery for less than a week and it's already starting to drain fast just like my old one. I've been out of state for a few days. I don't know if that's part of the issue or not. Please help!!

    In iTunes on your computer, select the Purchased section under STORE in the left column. Click on the first track and choose "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
    In the "Summary" tab you'll see details of the purchaser of the track. Click Next to go through all your purchased music one by one until you find the ones you need to get rid of.
    Unfortunately, there are no smart playlist rules that can filter tracks by the purchaser that I know of.

  • How do I get my music back onto my mac ?

    I had to reinstall OX Lion and now all my itunes are only on my iPhone.
    How do I get them back onto the iMac?

    Hey been there, done that. I moved my music to another external drive and accidentally deleted too much in the process. So the songs are still in iTunes but the Mac can't find them. Not surprisingly.
    iCloud and Match are useless as iCloud says about all my songs on the Mac: "Downloaded". What a big help. Transfer purchases didn't work. Not via the iPhone, not via the iPad.
    I tried various fixes and loads of software but the first thing that has actually worked is Touchcopy12 for Mac. Sporting a brand-new 2013 Mini now, I tried one song first and when it worked (eureka!) I purchased the software and it's now copying 1800 songs to my external hard drive, right from my iPhone 5.
    Not that it was the end of the world but it's nice to have your music when you're at the computer.

  • I have a 3g iPhone and when I open iTunes, there is no "Purchased" button.  How can I get one?

    I have some past purchases that show up on my "Purchased" list when I am on my computer (Windows Vista machine), but they do not appear in my Library - so I cannot simply drag the songs from Library to the iPhone when it is connected to the computer.  Elsewhere on this site (specifically here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 ) I am told I can just open iTunes on my iPhone, click on the "Purchases" tab, tap the artist name, etc. to download to the iPhone.  But without a "Purchase" tab (and I have checked in the "More" area to see if it is there), this is a pretty difficult task.  (Also just as additional info, I am running iTunes 10.4.1.10 and have recently synced the iPhone.)  Also my computer is the only "device" associated with the iTunes Cloud beta and, as an alternative (?), maybe I could figure out a way to "associate" the iPhone as well?

    Did you also read that same link you provided and see this "With iTunes 10.3 or later and iOS 4.3.3 or later, "?
    Iphone 3G does not support ios 4.3

  • My computer recently crashed.  I had everything on an externa drive.  I'm trying to reload my music into itunes from my external drive.  I do not have an itunes library document for some reason.  How do I get my library back onto itunes?

    I'm trying to figure out how to access my music library from my external drive.  I do not have a media library document and believe that I would have to create one based on the music that is on my external drive.  Can someone help?

    If you're running Windows 8.1, this seems to be a common theme, or some variation there of at least. Myself, I can't even back-up on my iPhone 4S which has iOS 7.1.2 and I'm running iTunes 11.3.0.54 and have resorted to purchased the iTunes Match service to ensure that music on my primary desktop PC (which is paired to my iPhone) will be available on both the iPhone and my Windows 8.1 laptop. Regarding backing up of the iPhone, I'm thinking about going to a third party solution until either Apple and/or Microsoft can figure out why Windows 8.1 is having so many problems with the current version of iTunes (as of this writing 11.3.0.54).

  • How to i get the App Store onto my mac if it doesn't have it?

    i currently just bought a new iphone 5.  I would like to update my MAC OSx but i can't because everything is done through the "app store" on the computer.  My computer doesn't seem to have that function.  Is there a way to get it put onto my computer?

    If you are running v10.7 Lion on your Mac as your profile suggests, then the App Store should be installled.
    Three ways to access the App Store.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click App Store.
    Or, from your Dock 
    Or launch the App Store from your Applications folder.
    If you still can't locate the App Store, installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) will reinstall the App Store for you.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.

  • I have purchased a 3TB external hard drive. I took it to the apple store. They moved all of my iTunes to the external hard drive. I still keep getting the message that my start up disc is full. Please help.

    What else can I do. All of itunes should be on the external hard drive. I think 3TB is plenty of space. Could it be my iphoto? I moved all those to the external hard drive too.

    Yes, you should format the HD.
    A Mac can natively write to a NTSF drive and that is what most drives com formatted with.
    You should use the Mac journaled format.
    Once again you are posting incorrect information
    Until we know what format the drive is it is impossible to state that it must be formatted - that is just a guess
    And a Mac can not Natively write to an NTSF drive - it can natively read it but can not write to it with special software
    And since formatting a drive erases it it is critical to tell users not to format until they have a positively known good backup
