ITunes contents won't list on new computer

I got a new computer last Christmas, and I downloaded iTunes to it, but whenever I try to plug in my iPod, iTunes does not list the songs I put there, nor my playlists.  It did recognize the songs I downloaded from the store, but will not play them.  What do I do?

put the ipod in enable disk use in itunes and try to get the music from ipod folder.

  • ITunes rental won't play on new computer

    I rented a movie three weeks ago. Last week, I bought a new-to-me (used) computer and transferred all my content to the new machine. I have purchased iTunes Match, and all my books and music and almost everything works. But when I tried to play my rented movie on the new computer, I got a message saying it wasn't authorized to play on this computer. It's the same Apple ID and all my other content works on the new machine.
    Brilliant me, I thought I would just delete it and download it again since I haven't watched it. Now it's just gone.
    Any ideas? I have another rented movie still in my rentals folder, but it won't play either.

    Yes, I am getting the exact same message. It says:
    Could not play the rental “The Cove” because it is authorized to play on another computer or device.

  • Older itunes files won't play on newer computer (Windows XP)

    About a year and a half ago, I uploaded my CD collection into my itunes library on a Windows 2000 equipped laptop and then backed up the library onto CDs. Since then, many of the original CDs are gone and the laptop has crashed. But at least I have the backed up music saved on CDs, right? Fast forward to now; I downloaded the latest version of itunes onto my PC and try to play these backup CDs, but I am prompted (with exclamation points) to insert the original file.
    What can I do to play my old music? Is there an earlier version of itunes that will recognize these older files?

    Are you sure you're selecting a song that was copied to your computer (and not one from a previous attempt)? Just a thought.
    If it's still not working, you'll need to copy the files to your hard drive manually.
    Open My Music, or whichever directory you want the files to be in.
    Then open the CD in a different window.
    Click and drag the files/folders the My Music window.
    Go into iTunes and add the folders as described in the last post. You'll also probably want to uncheck "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" so the files don't get duplicated and take up more space on your hard drive.

  • How do I retain all content when transferring iphone to new computer?

    I need to transfer my old iphone to my new computer so that I can transfer all the contact info, manually downloaded music, notes, and so forth from that phone onto my shiny new iphone.
    Is this possible?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • How do I move both my contents and playlists to my new computer?

    How do I move both my contents and playlists to my new computer?  I have tried the suggestions in previous posts of copying the library and music folders into the itunes folder on my new pc.  I don't have the option to file>library>import anything.  The only thing that transfers, even on home sharing is purchased music.  No music loaded from CD's and no playlists.

    Hello Kayaks2,

    Transferring playlists
    If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
    Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

    You copy it from one computer to the other.
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
    You have posted in the iphone forum.

  • My computer was totally destroyed & I do not have backup or external hard drive with my iTunes library. Will I be able to access my iTunes library when I purchase a new computer? It was the only computer authorized to play library.

    My computer was totally destroyed & I do not have backup or external hard drive with my saved iTunes library from it. That was the only computer authorized to play library. I do not have an iPod or iPhone with any of that library (which has over $2K in music purchases & over 5K in songs I ripped). Will I be able to access my iTunes library when I purchase a new computer?

    You should be able to access your past iTunes purchases. You'll need to re-rip your CDs See: HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • HT1349 I want to transfer my itunes from my ipad to my new computer...how do I do this?

    How can I transfer my itunes from my iPad to my new computer?????

    You can copy iTunes purchases from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other stores or copied from your CDs you can either copy them onto your new computer from your old computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527) or backup, or you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPad

    my old laptop is not working.  How do I get my itunes account and library on my new computer with out wiping out my ibrary?

    Hi 1Donald,
    To answer your question, ''"How can my new desktop have a KEY when it is not even part of the sync yet?"''
    You need to get the key from the new device and enter it into the old device. So on the old device select "Pair a device" and the place to enter the key will show up.
    I hope this helps.

  • Ipod won't sync with new computer and itunes

    I have multiple ipods with music on them.  I got a new computer, but can not get the music from my ipod back on to my itunes.  Any help would be appreciated!

  • Ipod touch won't connect to computer, windows 7, and itunes, and won't charge on my computer

    Whenever I plug in my ipod touch to my computer, NOTHING HAPPENS.There is no "bleep" sound, nothing shows up under my computer, nothing shows up in itunes, and my ipod touch won't even charge. How can I fix this?
    I have tried many things to fix this issue, including reading and doing everything listed under "iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows".
    I have:
    - deleted itunes and reinstalled it
    - reset my ipod touch using the home and power key
    - tried fixing drivers
    - using a different cord
    - using a different computer (my ipod touch won't even show up on any other computer)
    etc.
    And yet my ipod touch still will not connect to my computer or itunes, and will not charge on my computer. It charges fine in the wall, though.
    I have more information that I believe may be integral to fix this issue:
    - My ipod touch is up to date with iOS 8.0.2
    - My itunes is up to date with version 11.4
    - I tried to connect my ipod using bluetooth, and it shows up like this
    (other than this, it won't show up on my computer at all)
    - After I had updated my ipod touch and itunes and even synced my ipod (which had worked fine), I had then put a facebook app and facebook message app on my ipod touch, which after I had done that the next day I noticed that my ipod touch would not even show up on my computer at all (so I deleted the apps) and yet the problem is still persisting.
    - I installed iCloud on both my ipod touch and my itunes
    - Other than what I stated, I have not made any changes to my ipod touch.
    In my device manager, NO APPLE PRODUCTS/DRIVERS SHOW UP ANYWHERE
    The only place that apple mobile device show up at is here -
    I've even tried to reset/stop/set to automatic the Apple Mobile Device here, and still it does not help.
    Someone please help me. I've provided much information, so some assistance would really be appreciated. If I need to provide more information, please let me know.

    You can try going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting and then try setting up via iTunes. If still problem then set up via wifi and go to an Apple Store
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:         
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
