I'm new to iTunes and my question is probably stupid, but please help!!

I want to authorize my computer on iTunes and I don't know how (I use windows 8 and iTunes version 11 if that helps)
Also, I have my music spread ou between Amozon mp3 and Music (on my iPod) and I know how to join them, but how do you get iTunes to re-scan for media on my computer?
Thank you very much in advance!!

  • ITunes and iPod not syncing properly...please help

    When i sync my 60GB video iPod with iTunes it starts to work, a few files or podcasts are copied then it seems to get "stuck" then an error message appears:
    attempting to copy to the disk "My Ipod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    Ipod software and itunes are the latest versions.
    I've restored the ipod without success, in fact this was a pain as all my music was wiped from the ipod and can only be put back on a gig at at time. I synced with itunes on my other laptop PC and this worked fine so i think the ipod itself is ok.
    see below for the diagnostics report for the ipod:
    Also iTunes is also having some problems closing down properly and can be a huge resource hog (50% CPU) sometimes, this was never a problem before. Should i remove and then re-install itunes? The only other thought i had was some kind of problem with album art which i have attached to music files using itunes art importer. I did this ages ago and it has never been a problem before.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks in advance....

    Re: conflicting software. I'm not sure what would conflict with iTunes. no new antivirus/spyware or firewall software installed.
    hmmmm. let's follow up on that anyway. firewalls typically have to generate a new set of rules for iTunes (and QuickTime, and some of the itunes background processes) when you install a new version of itunes.
    try the techniques described in the following document (but leave your ipod service enabled):
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    do you still get that message after connecting the ipod after doing a selective startup?

  • I forgot my passcode on my new Iphone 6 and haven't backup it yet. Please help.

    I got my Iphone 6 last week and went on vacation to take some pictures. However, in the middle of my vacation the IPhone restarted by itself and asking for a passcode. My passcode is not working anymore and pushing my Iphone to be disabled by trying to guess what it is. I tried to restore the Iphone by using my computer but I was not able to back it up because it's asking for a passcode also I tried to sync it and its does the same thing and asking for a passcode. I don't want to completely restore it without saving my pictures. Is it possible to reset my passcode by going to any apple service center? We do have all the necessary documents to prove the I am the owner of it. I just don't want to take the risk to restore it without backing it up. Please help.

    The purpose of the passcode is to protect the data in the iPhone (including photos) from people who do not know the passcode.  The only way to eliminate the passcode is to restore the phone as new which eliminates the data from the iPhone.  You can do that yourself or take it to an Apple Store and they will restore it for you.  If you had made a backup you could then restore the data back to the iPhone (including the photos) but if you did not make a backup, then you will be unable to access the data.
    You have not said whether or not you had the Photo stream feature enabled in your iCloud settings.  If you did, your photos will be streamed back to your iPhone when you enable the feature after restoring the iPhone.   Or perhaps you had enabled iCloud backups to made automatically every time you are on Wifi and plugged in.   If yes, you can restore from the latest iCloud backup.   If not, you are out of luck.
    For the future, it is a good idea to enable iCloud automatic backups.  You don't have to remember to make them and they will be there for you should you forget your passcode again.

  • I can't open itunes and I'm losing faith... please help

    Each time I try to run itunes I receive an error message reading "The instruction at "0x6b636975" referenced memory at "0x6b636975". The memory could not be "read"."
    There are also several Asian (I think) characters in the pop up dialog box. I googled it, and only sites with the similar Asian script appear. I've also tried methods recommended for other error messages, but nothing has worked. Please help, before I give up on itunes forever!
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the assistance. I do believe the problem is with Quicktime. I tried to install quicktime stand alone, and when I tried to open it, it didn't do anyting. No error message, nothing. When I try to uninstall it, it "encounters" a problem, unless I first delete the program file, then run the uninstall.
    okay, perhaps let's try the following method for swapping out your QuickTime:
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • New to OSMF - have several questions (closed captions, tutorial, etc), please help!

    Hello,
    I came across OSMF this week and am extremely curious to learn more about this for my job and personal work/knowledge. If any of these questions could be answered I will be ever-so grateful!! Thank you.
    1) Anyone know of or have any information or tutorials or plug-ins on how to make OSMF videos work with closed captions for single or a multi-video player gallery for each video? (captions - this is very important for my job)
    2) Does anyone know of any good and easy to understand (I'm mid-level in AS3) tutorials and/or source files on how to build an OSMF player preferably in Flash?
    3) I know Flash Builder (Flex) some, but am better with Flash (CS4/5), but a lot of what I see is for Flex... what is preferred for OSMF - Flex or Flash or it doesn't matter?
    4) I searched Amazon.com, but couldn't find - are there any books for OSMF?
    Sorry I posed this in Developers also, but unsure which is appropriate for my questions. Thank you, again.

    Hi, Duane!
    This may help with your questions re: captions..
    http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/osmf.adobe/index.php?title=Captions
    As for tutorials, we've got some links to ones created by members of the community here:
    http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/osmf.adobe/index.php?title=osmf.adobe:Community_Port al
    And, as far as OSMF books, there aren't any third-party ones of which I'm aware. You can download a PDF of Adobe's OSMF Dev Guide here (the PDF link is at the upper right):
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/OSMF/1.0/Dev/index.html
    Or, you can view the very same content in topic-by-topic form at the wiki in the links above.
    Best of luck with your endeavors!

  • I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit content without actually downloading the explicit songs?

    I'm new to itunes and need some help.  Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit songs without actually downloading the songs that are explicit?

    See if there's a non-explicit version and download that?  Just download the individual songs you want, and not the others?
    Honestly, your phrasing doesn't make sense.  You're asking how to download an album without downloading its tracks?

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

    Ok, so you said you've already right clicked on each song and "created a MP3 version?"
    If so sort the library's music by "Date Added (if it is not there right click on the other sort bars and add the column "Date Added". The mp4 versions are the ones in the playlist. You will have to find the newly added mp3s by sorting by Date Added.  Hope this helps!

    Edit > Preferences > Store check Music under Automatic Downloads.
    Open the iTunes Store from left hand column, then select Purchasedfrom the column on the right, click the Not In My Library button and select the tunes you want to download again.
    That said, you seem to be under a misapprehension as to how iTunes works, or at least how it has worked in the past. It has, until recently, been up to you take care of your purchases once they have been downloaded. You had a one-time download which you were reminded to back up. With the recent change to this policy you can at least download your store purchases again, but having a personal backup of your iTunes store purchases, stuff purchased elsewhere and files ripped from your CDs will still be preferable to gathering all the stuff together again in the event of a disaster.
    For a backup strategy see this User Tip.
