I synced iTunes from my computer to a new iPad. My purchased music appears as normal in the list and is designated as downloaded, but none of it will play. Any ideas of what I can do?

try resetting the device by holding down the home and sleep key, past the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.
Also, try finding a free app, any free app, download it on your ipad then see if that gets your others to work.You can delete the free app if it works (or if it doesn't for that matter)

A Mac Mini s a computer you can use with the iPad.
YO do not need a computer fro backup since yo can backup to iCloud.
However, sometimes software glitches occur and require connecting the device to a compute to restore vi iTuunes.
You can control a computer via an iPod with an app like TeamViewer or LogMeIn. There are others too.
You can also use an iPad a a SECONDAY monitor for a computer. with other apps.
You need a dedicated monitor, keyboard and mouse to setup the Mini. You can use a PC USB mouse and keyboard.

Easiest/cheapest way to be able to play itunes from my comp to my new ipad?

Hi, I'm pretty annoyed as I've just received my new ipad 3 and found out I can't sync itunes from my version of Mac on my main computer, the details of which are;
Model Name:
iMac
Model Identifier:
iMac6,1
Processor Name:
Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:
2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors:
1
Total Number Of Cores:
2
L2 Cache (per processor):
4 MB
Memory:
1 GB
Bus Speed:
667 MHz
Boot ROM Version:
IM61.0093.B07
SMC Version:
1.10f2
I suppose it should have been pretty obvious but I don't feel I was warned about this and presumed I could use icloud via the internet or email myself the mp4s or something at the very worse. As this was one of the main reasons I bought the ipad I feel a bit hard done by! So, the only solution seems to be, to upgrade to a later version on my main computer. Could anyone advise me? It seems sensible to upgrade to the very latest version although would I have increase ram size to cope? Is this easy? What would the costs be? Would I still be able to run my existing programmes ok? I am not the most computer literate and am reduced to shouting at my poor mac quite easily...
Many, many thanks if you can help.
Jo

The system requirements for the iPad, stated on Apple's web page and even on the iPad's box, clearly state the need for Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later so you can run the latest version of iTunes. So I do think you were indeed warned, as much as Apple can warn any potential buyer.
You'll need to get your iMac upgraded to a later version of Mac OS X before you will be able to sync your iPad to it. 10.6 Snow Leopard is right now the best option, and while the Apple Store no longer lists it on their web page, you can probably still buy a copy of you call the Apple Store directly. Other dealers such as Amazon may also still have copies. You will need to confirm that your applications and peripherals will support Mac OS X 10.6 and upgrade as necessary.
Regards.

Can I move home videos from my computer to a new ipad ?

How do i move home movies from my iphone/ computer to a new Ipad ???

Basically, import those videos into iTUnes. Then connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your device, navigate to the video tab. You should see those movies. Choose the ones to sync, do a sync and they should go onto your device.

Synced music from my Mac to my new IPad

When I open ITunes on the IPad it appears I am being requied to download every song before it will play. What gives????

If the music is in your iTunes library - sync to iTunes. Have you synced music or anything yet?
Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Click on you iPad's name on the left side of iTunes under Devices. Click on the Music Tab at the top of the iTunes window on the right. Select the songs, playlists, albums, etc. that you want on the iPad. Make sure you also select (put a checkmark) Sync Music heading at the top - click apply then sync.
This should work, but if you still have problems - and you shouldn't unless there is an underlying problem with your iPad - try restarting the iPad as well.

Importing iTunes from Old Computer to a New One

I want to import my old iTunes (files, name changes, data etc) to a new computer. However, iTunes is having toruble locating the files (obviously, since now the music files are in a different folder in the new computer...there was no way for me to replicate the old computer's file configuration for the music since it was scattered. I consolidated all the music files into one folder, thereby changing the original file location). I tried adding all the files first, from the new file location. Then I chose to import the old iTunes library data file. It successfully updated all the file names and date added entries, etc. However, when I went to play a song, it said it cannot find the file location and I was given an option to browse and locate it. I was hoping if I do one or two, it would so an auto find and locate all of them since they are in one folder. But it never did it, I manually did a bunch of files and no luck.
Is there any formulated way to make an auto find happen?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Go to the top of this page, click "support", type "move itunes library windows" or something similar into the support search bar, and read the articles that result from that search.

HT4527 how do I transfer itunes from old computer to a new computer

how do I transfer itunes from an old computer to a new computer

Unless you've moved away from the default iTunes settings simply copying the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source machine into <User's Music> on the target computer (over a network, or via an intermediate copy on a portable drive) will transfer the library.
See this migrate iTunes library post for more.
This gives you the same library, not a new library with the same content.

How do I switch itunes from one computer to my new one?

I have iTunes installed on my new computer. The problem is that all of my app icons are greyed out. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Mike

This really depends on how technical you want to get, and how much of the library data you want to retain. First, there is getting the actual song files over to your new computer. If both computers are on the same network and are on iTunes 9, you can use home sharing to transfer the song files to your new computer.
Once the files are transferred, now you have to get all of the metadata transferred, like Playlists and Song Ratings. There is a method for doing this that involves editing your Library.xml file to transfer Playlists, Playcounts, etc..
If all you want to transfer is your Playlists and song files, there are programs that will back up your playlists so you can transfer them to a new computer, but if you're able to do the above XML edits (which are pretty simple), that is preferred (and cheaper).
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

HT1296 how do I transfer my music in itunes from my macBook to my new iPad?

I have a new ipad an I am trying to transfer my music in itunes to it and having no luck. I need help with this

I copied this from the iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod kb article. It may help to see the screenshots which are on the website, but I did not copy here. The website is posted at the bottom of my response.
This applies to the iPod, iPhone or iPad. If you are using iTunes 11 - enable the sidebar by going to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top.
If you want iTunes to update your music, videos, or podcasts whenever you connect your device, sync automatically. Whenever iTunes is open and your device is connected using the USB to Dock Connector cable, iTunes will sync.
Syncing music
Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
Select your your iPod in the Devices section on the left side of the iTunes window.
In the main iTunes browser window, select Music.
Select the option to Sync Music. You may also select "Include Music videos" if you would like to sync Music videos to a device.
Your device will need to have enough free space to sync the content that you have selected from your library.
Tip: You can use the capacity bar at the bottom of the device-settings window to determine how much free space is available. You can determine content size by selecting it and looking at the bottom of the iTunes window.
Click Apply and iTunes will begin syncing the audio content you've selected to your device. The iTunes LCD will display the sync progress and notify you when the sync is complete.
To disconnect your device, select it under Devices and click the eject icon next to it.

Unable to work with songs. Says computer is not authorized, it is. Have tried deauthorizing and then reauthorizing, that works, but still get the msg that computer is not authorized. What to do? Thanks!

I have an older pc with itune songs on it. Trying to burn to disk. Tells me that the computer is not authorized to do this, it is. Have tried de-authorizing it and re-authorizing it and I'm able to do that. Then if I try to authorize it, it says it already is, but still won't allow me to work with my songs, still says not authorized. The songs I'm trying to burn were purchased from the itunes store, but don't show up on my purchased songs on my new iMac, not sure how to find them. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks for trying to help!
Tried it without much success though.
Looked good at first. I was able to unauthorize it and after rebooting all I went in under "store" and authorized it again, witch it did without a hassle.
But, when I had restarted everything again and tried to sync with me iPhone I still got "Part of the programs in the iTunes library, for instance 'yadda-yadda-app' was not installed on the iPhone unit 'The name of my iPhone' because you are not authorized for them on this computer. You can authorize this computer for purchases by choosing store - Authorize this computer"
(Translation to english might include minor errors...
So... Any other ideas on how to sync my iPhone with my iTunes?
(Oh, and my iPhone has never been jailbroken or anything like that.)

Have uploaded my roster to the icloud calendar then synced to iphone and it is out by one day on the iphone but correct on the icloud. Any ideas?

Have loaded my roster on icloud via my windows based computer. When I look at it on my phone it is all out by a day. Checked both, not going mad. What I have entered as working on 5th Augus, shows up on 6th August on my phone. I have gone in to setting and removed icloud sync, turned phone off and then reset in settings and same things happens again. Any ideas how to fix this?

Your purchased iTunes content is already available to be downloaded to your phone, for free. Non-purchased music would require using iTunes Match. Match requires iTunes 10.5.1 or later. Read here:
