I just received a new computer, a Windows 7. I thought all my music in iTunes was kept separate from my computer
I just received a new Windows 7 computer. I thought all my music in iTunes was kept separate from my computer and that when I installed iTunes into my new computer, that I'd again have access to the songs I'd purchased simply by entering my name and password. Not so. I can get to the store, type in my name & password, but there's no music there. What can I do?
" I thought all my music in iTunes was kept separate from my computer and that when I installed iTunes into my new computer, that I'd again have access to the songs I'd purchased simply by entering my name and password. "
You thought completely wrong.
Your music will ONLY be where you put it. You purchase ONE download only. Just as when you buy a cd from the store, you have to move/copy it wherever you want it. Your music will not magically appear anywhere.
You need to copy your music from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.

I've just got a new Dell with windows 7. When I try to download itunes it says the windows installer can't be found
When your username includes a Charakter like "acson te graf" zhere is a Problem for Windows to find your installiert-Files. Yust Build another Username like "Dummy", give admistration rights, change to this user and install iTunes on this accout. Now you can Return to your Old account an use iTunes.
I am still surching how to change the username in Windows but still no idea. -

I cant download my purchased music onto my new iPhone 5. I bought almost all my music through iTunes over my phone but it wont let me download "ALL"--I have to go in individually to each album. Can anyone help me figure out how to do a single "ALL" music download?
I even tried synching from mt computer backup but it wont do it.You can only sync everything with your one syncing computer/iTunes library. Yu can:
- Make this your syncing computer by:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
- Use the manual method to copy music and videos from any computer/iTunes library to the iPod. See the manual method included here:

I got all my music from iTunes and when I play a track it doesn't play. I just got this new iPod so why isn't it playing my music
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/delete music from iPod 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:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -

My firewall is just the same as always even BEFORE I had this problem. My Norton antivirus isn't blocking it and I've tried downloading earlier versions with the same problem.
Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

I have just bought a new pc with windows 7 my old computer cannot be started so I cannot deauthorise it etc, how do I now put my iphone 4 on my new computer, I don't care about the songs I have those on external hard drive, but I don't want to loose my contacts, calenders etc
Terry,
Plug your iPhone 5 into your Leopard Machine.
Fire up iPhoto.
The phone should become available in iPhoto, and then you can import the camera roll.

I have just uploaded a new operating system (windows 8.1) on to my computer but seem to have lost my itunes library. Can this be restored? Can I plug in my ipod and syncronise so that my ipod library transfers to my computer Itunes account?
Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?
You should never update without making sure your backup copy of your computer is up to date.

i just got a new pc running windows 7 and cannot get my i tunes library from my old windows xp i have an ipad,ipod nano .ipod touch ,will any of these do it? My library is one i downloaded from cds not purchased thanks'
Iv just got a macbook pro today, and I don't know how to transfer my itunes library from my imac..
the simplest way, assuming all your media files are in the default location, would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
My sister is having my old imac, so I also need to then clear the itunes on the imac for her.
just a create a new admin user account for her on the iMac. -
MyiPod classic won't charge. I just bought a new laptop with Windows 8 and when I plug in my iPod, iTunes will recognize it and sync, but will only charge during the syncing process. Any suggestions?
