I've lost touch with my music?
Hello - I thought I had a duplicate folder of songs and in a moment of overzealous house cleaning I deleted one (after putting it in the trash and testing, iTunes still played). Now when I try and play a song I get the message that the original file cannot be found. I still have a folder of songs in this location:
Home/iTunes/iTunes Music
The location where I think the deleted folder came from is: Home/Music/iTunes/iTunes media... I think.
I would be very grateful if someone more able than I can help me reconnect to my music.

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
lost/stolen
No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

I'm NOT good at networking. It drives me crazy, so please be gentle:
I have an iMac connected by ethernet to a Belkin G Plus MIMO Router, which is connected to a cable modem. The router also has ethernet connections to two Replay DVRs, an internet telephone, and wirelessly to a laptop running Win Vista
This morning I was online with my iMac and lost internet. After fiddling about for the better part of an hour, I plugged the ethernet from the modem directly into the iMac and the internet was just fine, so the problem is with the home network. The name of my home network still appears in the Airport "menulet" and it's checked. In Systems Preferences, in the Airport settings, it also still has the name of my home network, but it says that "Airport has the self-assigned IP address... and will not be able to connect to the internet". Is this the problem?
In surfing this problem, I did find reference to security settings, and have checked those. My firewall is OFF.
The laptop, of course, does not connect to the internet now that the home network isn't showing there. Likewise my iPhone doesn't show the wi-fi signal indicator.
I'll be glad to provide further info. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Uh, it just occurred to me that maybe its the router which has lost internet connectivity. But if thats' true, would it also cease to appear to the laptop even as a "local network"?Sorry, I should add that 1) the internet phone still works when connected to the router; 2) when I open the router interface, it shows "connected". It THINKS its connected to the internet.

Verizon has lost touch with CUSTOMER SERVICE
I have been with Verizon for almost 18 years. They don't give a ****. I have been trying to upgrade my phone since it broke and have gotten nothing but the run around. My first experience was asking why I had to pay an upgrade fee ( $30) for a $99 phone and the chat rep explained that they wanted to keep the cost of the phone down...that makes total sense???? OK reconciled to the COST OF THE PHONE BEING $30 MORE...I will pay. Nope, had trouble with my address because my mailing zip is different from my home zip...has been for the last 18 years. OK called- problem fixed no worries. Your phone will be delivered in 2-3 days. "Why not overnight?" "You have to pay extra." "It says it is free." "That's online" "I tried to order online, you just confirmed YOUR SYSTEM's PROBLEM. I should be eligible for online." "I will have to start a trouble ticket. It could take 24 to 72 hours to resolve." "Start it."
Postpaid carriers charge an upgrade fee, and although I disagree with it due to the fact I'm agreeing to keep your service for another 24-months, it's still charged. They're saying it's offsetting the cost of activating the new device. I can assure you, it doesn't cost the company a dime to do an ESN change.
That said, representatives are at a loss sometimes, and don't have the access to make the required changes. That takes some time. -
I can't sync my I-pod touch with my music on my pc
I have downloaded I-tunes to my pc. I hooked my connection cable from my i-pod to my pc to sync over wi-fi connection like it said to on my I-pod. When I go to I-tunes on my computer it pops up a warning message saying: "This I-pod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started."
If anyone has a solution to my problem, it would be greatly appreciated.All you have to do is to create a playlists or perhaps a couple of them that you want to use to sync your iPod. After doing that, change your iPod preferences to sync only those specific playlists.

My daughter has an ipod touch with alot of games and music on it. The computer it was synced to is forever gone and on her new computer some of the games dont show up along with her music. She is worried if she connects it to her new computer all will be lost. Is there anyway for this to not happen? The ipod is on its last life due to a cracked screen, and as for the games she has spent money on them such as smurf village and others. When i looked at game center on my phone about less than half of that game showed up. Is there anyway to fix these things before its to late and eveything is gone forever?
THANK YOU.Follow these instructions

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.
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:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem. -
I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help. Is this possible. In former versions of itunes this was posible. I can't find the solution is iTunes 11
Perhaps those apps require a newer version of iOS than is compatible with your iPod.

I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

Working on a single computer with multiple users, I have set things up to allow each user to view and listen to the others' music libraries under the "Shared Library" function. Can you then connect an iPod touch and copy music from a shared library?
Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.
