I was going to restore my iPod to factory settings so I backed up my iPod about 2 weeks ago onto my new laptop with no music on itunes. How do I get it back?
I don't know whats up. Had a ton of songs and i wanted to restore it, iTunes prompted me to back up the files, I did, and now I can't find the files. I backed it up to my new laptop that didn't have music on it. Is there some folder that my music is in but i just can't find it?
Music is not included in the backup (and nor are films or tv shows), only the contents of third-party apps are included. Did you not do File > Transfer Purchases when connected to your computer's iTunes to copy your iTunes purchases over, and/or have you not got a backup copy of your music somewhere e.g. on an external drive ?

Have you tried the redeem option?
Simply click the Redeem link that can be found on the right hand side of theiTunes Store home page in iTunes on your computer, tap the redeem button at the bottom of the featured tab.
Once you’re on the Redeem page, paste the promo code into the field provided and click Redeem. -
Hard drive died. Cannot uninstall CS3 to remove copy registration. Need to reinstall on new laptop with windows 7 64 bit system, Need to get activation code for CS3 Web Premium.
Thank you Bob.
Just to clarify - in terms of backing up one set of these, would that just be so I had it on disk and didn't need to re-download from Adobe if the installation got corrupted somehow? Or do I need a backup for some other reason?
Thanks -

My ipod classic will not sync to my new laptop with windows 8. Any suggestions please?
I have an iPod classic U2 Limited Edition. After hours of sorting and searching for lost tunes I finally managed to re-create my music library on my new laptop which runs on Windows 8. However, when I connected my iPod, although it starts the sync process it just stops after a few seconds. My old laptop ran on Vista Home Premium. My current laptop has the latest version of iTunes and the software version for the iPod is 1.2.1 which is also the current version. At this point it is just over half full so I know this cannot be the issue. iTunes recognises the iPod when I connect it.
I have checked some online forums and tried some fixes used by other people but these did not solve the problem
This included running iTunes as administrator and also enabling disk useHey there netsie_1960,
It sounds like your iPod Classic seems to start syncing, but it stops before it actually finishes. I would recommend the troublehsooting in the following article to help resolve USB syncing issues, named:
iTunes: Resolve USB-related alerts
Try these steps to check the connection between your device or computer. You might need to do only one of these steps to resolve the issue, so test your connection after each step.
See if the cable connection at the device or computer has come loose or unplugged.
Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.
Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
Restart your computer.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If your iOS device displays the Connect to iTunes screen, reset your device and then restore it.
If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
Update to the latest version of iTunes if you haven't already.
Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

I want to sync an album onto my iPod but that is the only music I have on my iTunes and i was wandering if I sync my iPod will my purchused items will go. I have about 25 songs that i have purchused and the rest I have got off a few cd's. So will my purchused items go?
Molly...
Launch iTunes on your new laptop. Then from the menu bar (top of your screen) click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Connect the iPod to your computer. Now from the iTunes menu bar again click File > Transfer Purchases from.
Your purhcased media will be stored in your iTunes library.
Hopefully you still have the CD's if you need to re import that music into iTunes if necessary.

Wen copying (importing) a CD into itunes that has multiple artists or duets with a primary artist, how can I get the tracks to all appear on one album?
Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

My computer will not let me restore my i pod touch. My daughter forgot the password and we have not been able to use it. Someone told me to restore it, I tried and the computer looks like it is downloading for a couple of minutes but then says download not complete.
Try here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Also include manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try a restore
Then try DFU mode and restore.

Dead ipod with unsynched music and movies, how do I get the music and movies onto new ipod
my old ipod died before i was able to sync the latest purchases to my computer. How do I redownload purchases to new ipod
If the iPod is dead and you never synced it and you have no backup, say "bye-bye" to the contents.
You can individually download the apps and songs from iTunes without charge provided that you use the same Apple ID. -
please help me find my ipod i shall be thankful to you
Hey Jatin, Look under the sofa. Any luck? All joking aside, not much to do here, nothing with electronics anyway. You'll have to do the, "Helen Hunt Method!" Go looking for your iPod like it was a lost wallet or set of keys. Good luck, happy hunting! Cheers.

It's all in the title.
Hello Ha_gaaabe,
Thank you for posting with us!
I can certainly understand that waiting for a refund can be very disappointing, especially if it takes more than the time expected. Normally, credit card refunds can take a few days and up to a billing cycle depending on your financial institution.
Per the information you’ve provided in your profile (email address), I took some time to check the order. It seems as though what you saw was not an actual charge but an authorization. Essentially, authorizations can also take a few days to be posted on your account. With that said, I am hoping that during the next few days you’re able to make use of your funds.
Please let me know if you have any questions I can answer for you.
Best Wishes,

When setting up foxfire 8 on my new computer I had the new toolbar at the top with the orange button on the top left. In the process of set up I accidentally replaced it with the former toolbar that is tiny and at the top left with file,edit view etc. I'd like to go back to the new type toolbar, but am not savvy enough to figure out how. Thanks for the help.
Right-click at the top, in the blank portion, next to your tabs and un-check the "Menu Bar". You can still access your Menu Bar by pressing the "ALT" key, if and when you need to.

I was prompted with the 'No Service' message. When i tried to switch it on again, it showed the iTunes icon and plug. When I tried connecting it to iTunes, I was prompt to restore the phone to factory settings. No updates or backup was allowed. What does this means? I have never done any backup for this phone. Someone please help.
Thank you.Correct.
