I recently bought a new laptop, installed iTunes and imported my library during a sync with my iPhone. Now I've noticed that any tracks that were ripped into my library from a CD won't play on my iPhone. They're visible but with a red circle next to them.

Hi, BartleyBauer. 
If the media that you are attempting to sync plays in iTunes, try removing the preference to sync music as this remove the media from the device.  Once this is done, try syncing the media again.

  • I recently bought a new computer, downloaded itunes and all my music from the cloud, made a few more purchases on itunes then plugged in my ipod and it wont sync. My ipod is already associated with my itunes account and the computer is authorised...

    I have a new laptop which will not sync my ipod to it. I've registered the computer, this is the only ipod associated with this itunes account. It shows the syncing symbol on the laptop and on the ipod but then when i eject the ipod afterwards the new songs have not transfered or my playlists.

    What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account."  The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases.  It is also used with iCloud.  iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
    So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod.  If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked).  If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod.  When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
    One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists.  Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one, using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

  • I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  What do I do???

    I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music.  I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't.  I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!?  What do I do???

    You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC.  Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

  • Just bought a new laptop, windows vista and it say gateway and my ipod touch not showing up

    I just bought a new laptop, Windows vista to be exact, i downloaded the latest version of itunes and my ipod is not showing up ? Anyone can help me

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • I recently downloaded the new version of itunes and was trying to sync my ipod to my new computer and all of my music disappeared.  Where is my music?

    I recently downloaded the newest version of iTunes and was trying to sync my iPod to my new computer for the first time.  Somehow in this process I somehow lost all of my music!  It says that I only havce 10 songs unless I'm looking in my library somewhere else.  But even on my iPod all of my music is gone!  Help someone!!!  Can I find what music I used to have?

    If the music that was removed from your iPod (which happened as a result of syncing it with a new computer... an iPod is designed to sync with only one library at a time.  Connecting it to a new/different iTunes library will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library) is no longer in a backup anywhere or another PC, then there is no way to tell what used to be on your iPod.
    You'll need to either rerip the tracks you had from CDs back into iTunes or redownload them from iTunes via iCloud if possible.

  • I have my IPad 2 synced to Itunes. My Laptop crashes. No data available on the HDD. Bought a new HDD installed Itunes. Is their any way to do a restore to itunes from my IPad?

    I have my IPad 2 synced to itunes on my corporate laptop. The laptop crashed and I needed to send the laptop away. IT re-immaged the laptop. I loaded Itunes, and my question to anyone is is their a way to restore a Itunes lib back to a PC from a IPad

    It has always been very basic to alway maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • I've recently bought a new laptop (win7) and I can't edit any songs on my iTunes.

    I've done all the advice I've seen online, such as change the security permissions on my iTunes folder AND my music folder, as I keep everything stored on my external harddrive, but NOTHING IS WORKING!!!
    I keep going back to see if it's changed back to its original settings and it seems to keep doing that, every time I un check the read only box on both iTunes and my music files, I apply the changes but it just checks the bloody box again.
    I really have no idea what to do, can anyone help?

    It doesn't help?
    It's a big article, with pointers to others. You can recover iTunes purchases directly from the devices, you may be able to recover other iTunes purchases from the iTunes Store, depending on your region. For any other media on the devices you will need the assistance of third party tools, or use the manual extraction techniques.
    Note each device can hold protected content from up to five different accounts. Perhaps someone in the family has loaded up media from a friend's library.

    My old PC crashed and I ended up buying a new one.  I was able to recover all my music from the old hard drive and restore it in itunes.  I purchased a new album online thru itunes and added it to my library.  When I tried to add the album to my 6th nano it wouldn't download.  All the tracks are check marked and I can listen to the album on my pc but it won't sync onto the ipod.  The new pc is authorized, any ideas?

    You can only sysc with one iTunes library. The new computer is a new library. You have to restore your iPod on the new conputer and then sync.

  • HT4527 My old HP computer has died, that had all my music on it. I have now bought a new computer, installed Itunes on my new computer. I was wondering if there was any way my music could ne transferred?

    Since your old computer is now longer working, the only songs that can easily be transferred are the ones you have purchased from iTunes. If you can access the files from the hard drive of the old computer, you can import those songs into the iTunes library on your new computer. Otherwise, you will need to re-import those songs from their original sources, be it CDs, file sharing sites, etc.

  • I just bought a new album in itunes and accidently deleted the first track. when i go to redownload it from my cloud or purchases it tells me that the item cant be redownloaded on this device for 90 days?

    i have two itunes accounts but i only use one to buy music. while on the account that i use for music, i bought a new album last night. i bought the album with my 5th gen ipod. after the album was done downloading i accidently side swiped over the first track and deleted it. when i went back to redownload the track the message "this computer is already associated with an apple id. you can download past purchases on this computer with just one apple id every 90 days. this computer can be used with a different apple id in 81 days." i do not understand why i cant redownload something i just purchased. please help.

    Unfrotunately, this sounds like a dead TC.
    - also, the picture does NOT pick up the 2 airport expressess in the house that I used to extend the wirelass network on the previous TC
    - there is no option to extend the wireless network
    You need to reconfigure the Expresses to rejoin the TC's network via a factory reset.

  • Bought a new computer, downloaded itunes and no longer have access to my library

    I bought a new computer and when I downloaded itunes, my previous library was not there (I thought it was generated by log in not by computer?)  I tried plugging my ipod in to see if I could transfer the music I have on the ipod to itunes library it won't let me, just asks if I want to sync and replace with empty library.  how do I get my music from my ipod to my new computer?
    Thanks

    Your library will only be where you put it.
    The ipod is not a backup device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
