Itunes does not identify old music contents on new computer -

I have moved "my music" contents from and old computer to a new one. Itunes does not recognize these contents.
How do I make them corelate?

If you use automatic syncing, you must set up the iPod's Music tab in iTunes so that the selection of songs includes all the songs you want on the iPod.
Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Music there.  That is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
To use automatic syncing for songs, Sync Music is checkmarked.  You can choose to sync Entire music library, if it fits.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
If you chose the latter, you create a selection of songs on the Music tab by selecting playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres.  For example, if you want that new playlist, it must be checkmarked under Playlists.  If you want to keep it simple, you can create a new playlist in iTunes and put ALL song you want on the iPod on that playlist (including that new purchased song).  Back on the Music tab, checkmark that one playlist.
When you Apply the change, your selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the iPod.  If the iPod was not previously set to use automatic syncing, its existing content is replaced.  Going forward, any changes to the iTunes Music library that relate to the selection of songs on the Music tab sync automatically when the iPod is connected, or when you click Sync.  So, if you are syncing a playlist as your selection of songs, just update that playlist (add and remove songs), and the iPod gets updated with those changes at the next opportunity.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • My problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications

    my problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications

    I had a similar issue and I was told that my iTunes match was on.
    I had to disable iTunes match on my iPhone.
    Following which - after you plugged in your iPhone to iTunes, select your iPhone on iTunes menu. You should see a summary page of your iPhone where it provides options to update or restore. On the bottom there should be an option to select "sync only selected music/playlists". I can't remember the exact wording. Once that's been checked, select your iPhone's music tab and it should allow you to select the music playlists you want to sync.

  • Itunes does not sync Lost Music resent by Apple

    Hi guys
    I lost some purchased Music in the past. I wrote to Apple who restored it into my Purchased music on Itunes.
    However since then Itunes does not allow me to put these tracks on the Iphone saying I am not authorized to play those in this Computer.
    I emailed Apple again on this problem but they have been utterly useless. They gave me an US number to call when I leave in UK. Really poor support.
    I hope you can help me with this.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Hagrid,
    Try finding one of the songs in itunes library.
    Double click on that song to try and play it in itunes.
    There should be a window that comes up asking you to authorize the computer to play this music.
    Put in your itunes store account name and password, then click authorize.
    Once the song starts playing, stop the song and try syncing to the iphone again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Multiple Problems: iTunes does not recognize, no music, and odd click

    I went to update my iPod, and after I updated it, I went to go listen to it, and it said I had no music, no videos, no photos, nothing! But if I look at the summary of the iPod, it says there is still stuff on it, however it is now orange instead of blue, before it was blue, because of all the music.
    It is also making an odd clicking noise now.
    Also, iTunes does not recognize my iPod. I have attempted the 5 Rs, but I cannot restore, because my iTunes does not recognize my iPod, and I attempted the steps suggested if iTunes does not recognize the iPod, and still no luck.
    PUH PUH PUH PLEEEASE HELP!!

    i think im having the same problem, and its bull. i cant find any answers, just this 5 R stuff that definitely solves nothing. First i would plug in my ipod classic into my computer and a message would pop up saying that something has malfunctioned and i need to hook up my device to a 2.0 usb port, even though thats what it was plugged in to, so i reinstalled the drivers for the usb ports. that stoppped happening and now when i plug it in nothing happens, it turns on my ipod but itunes doesnt see it and neither does my computer! HELP!!!

  • Itunes does not recognize the music from my External HD's music folder

    I recently installed itunes onto my new IBM thinkpad. I have tried unsuccessfully to get my iTunes play list to reference the music collection that is located on my external HD (the songs are all AAC formated). I have set the "itunes music folder location" in the Preferences-Advanced settings to the music folder that is located on my external HD; however, for some reason itunes is not pulling the music from the external HD into it's play list....
    I have read other post that suggest that you use the "Consolidate Library" function in the Advanced menu to pull the music from the external HD, but I am afraid that this will simply copy the files from my external drive to the "itunes" folder that installed by itunes on my laptop's C drive. My goal is to keep my laptop's internal hard drive completely free of any music files. Is there some kind of "feed" function that needs to be run to get itunes to communicate with the exteral drive? I really want to avoid moving any of the songs onto my C drive.
    Any advice you may have would be greatly appreciated.

    Yeah, you can try signing up for DropBox - it's a free service that allows you to sync any files between your iPhone and your computer.  More info here:  http://www.dropbox.com/about

  • ITunes does not show Shared Music and cannot listen to Radio

    Hi, I would really appreciate some help on this issue - thanks!
    In itunes, the 'Shared Music' folder on the left side panel simply does not exist no matter how many times I check/uncheck the 'Look for Shared Music' in configurations. In addition, I cannot connect to any radio stations listed.
    I have no trouble accessing the itunes music store and other online features, so I do not think it is my internet. That said, I fear it maybe my norton internet security software thats causing these problems. Just to be safe, I have given total permission/access to anything itunes related: Itunes.exe, itunes music helper.exe, quicktimeplayer.exe, QTinfoapplication.exe and QTtask.exe. Also, I have (to no success), installed Bonjour services from apple and also Rendezvous Proxy. So yeah.. I am pretty much out of ideas.
    I live in a college environment, so I'd really like to check out other people's music. My friends on both PCs and Macs do get this problem at all. In addition, before the itunes 4.7 upgrade, I was able to access most people's shared music. However, with additional upgrades, i noticed that my shared music list would dwindle from say 50 to 20 then 10, etc until it reached nill! Pretty scary, so your help is totally appreciated.
    Thanks for reading!

    ok b noir I don't have much time but, idt it worked. But, let me explain. Some of the files I didn't see in the registry like the ipod manager. I deleted some of the ipod services and all of the other files I saw that had the word iPod. But, not all of them. There were also many files that were iTunes files. IDK if you wanted me to delete those too.
    I did the whole thing restarted it and then opened iTunes and iPod updater. I hoped and hoped that it would work. When I plugged it in. THere were some "Pop" sounds. You know the sounds that usually come up when you add new hardware. But, nothin' came up as a bubble from the taskbar. Just a couple seconds later a message appeared. And this is it: "Windows has finished installing new devices. The Software that supports your device requires that you restart your computer. You must restart your computer before the new settings take effect. Do you want to restart your computer now?" and that's it. The iPod isn't recognized by iPod Updater or iTunes that I have opened.
    So if you could tell me what I may have done wrong. Thanx and goodbye.
    P.S. This was updated but I tried it again and I couldn't find the ones I needed like iPodmanager and all those. I have the thing that allows me to see hidden files but, I couldn't find them. So I deleted everything that had the name "iPod" and a few files that were iTunes files. I restarted it after downloading iTunes and iPod updater. I plugged it in, nothing. This little thing at the bottom popped up about the new software. That usually happens when it doesn't work. And it said that if I didn't restart it, it wouldn't work properly like it usually says. So I restarted it and when I got back I plugged it in again and the folder with the iPod stuff popped up, which also means that it didn't work. THen I thought about the format because it may have that same problem. So i formatted it in FAT 32 and it formatted. I also put it in disk mode before I formatted it. nothing happened and it still wasn't recognized. Please help.

  • ITunes does not synchronize iPod music

    Hello.
    I have an iPod touch 8 GB Version 3.1.3
    In my iTunes I do not want to sync new songs I add to the library.
    I deleted the iTunes on your computer from anywhere possible and then reinstall it but still it does not synchronize my new songs I add to the library.
    What should I do and how I fix this problem?
    The iTunes version is 9.2.0.61
    I need help please
    Thanks, Chen

    For music files purchased via the iTunes Store, Apple has used the following file extensions -
    .m4a unprotected AAC format music files
    .m4p protected AAC format music files
    .m4b protected Audio Books
    .m4r unprotected ringtones in AAC format
    As you can see Apple have never used .mp4 for music files via the iTunes Store.
    For videos Apple use .m4v and these are in H.264 format.
    You could try changing the file extension to .m4a, first then see if it plays on your computer and then try re-synching it.

  • ITUNES DOES NOT PLAY ALL MUSIC FILES AFTER DATA RECOVERY

    My external Iomega Firewire 160gig HD, all of a sudden, changed the drive letter from H to F with unknown format.
    I recovered music files ( Using Stellar Phoenix FAT)and files/folders are in iTunes but only 20-30 play (out of over 6,000)
    I can play CD and rip new music in iTunes, though.
    Any suggestions how to get my music play all library files??

    WiseBird,
    There might be several causes for that kind of erratic behaviour:
    1st use Disk Utility to check your internal disk as well as the external one.
    2nd Your Library database might be damaged
    - Quit iTunes
    - Goto ./Users/YourUserName/Music/iTunes
    There will 2 files named something "Library" - move them to your desktop
    - Launch iTunes
    As you're now starting from scratch, iTunes will offer to search for audio tracks - Don't let it.
    - Your iTunes should be "clean"
    - in iTunes Preferences - Advanced - General:
    Point the Music Folder Location to the appropriate folder on your ext hd
    Disable "Copy Files to iTunes music folder....."
    - Quit Preferences
    - From iTunes Menu - File choose "Add to library..." + select that folder on your ext hd that contains all your tracks.
    - All your tracks should be back by now in iTunes Library.
    - To get your playlists back: From iTunes Menu - File choose "Import" and open that .xml file that you moved to your desktop (might work but need not).

  • ITunes does not sync all music on 4s with new MAC

    My daughter has an iPhone 4s that was sync-ed with her Windows PC. She recently got a new Macbook Pro. We added all her music to the new MAC and then tried to sync via "sync all checked songs" and iTunes is missing many songs. We then tried to sync by selecting artists and such and let it wipe all music. Once it was wiped we tried to sync fresh again and it still missed many songs. It sync partial albums. She is able to drag and drop manually to correct the missed songs, but would prefer to fix this so she can sync normally in the future. What can we do to get this fixed? I really dont want to do a restore and start from scratch...
    Thanks

    I´ve tried every possible solution listed, those that have worked for others...nothing has worked. My library has about 2777 songs of which at first only 1370 loaded. After syncing w/o music, which deleted all music from my iPhone, I then selected Sync Music again and synced...well this time only 391 songs were added!!! It skipped the other 1400 I already had in! I´ve come to notice that these 391 songs are the ones purchased directly on the iTunes Store, but previously I had ALL my CD´s ripped and loaded to my iPhone.
    I don´t know if this has something to do with the new iTunes version, but please, please, someone give me some light! I don´t want to go and convert all 2400 songs from MP3 to AAC..!! It´s not practical!
    Thanks in advance for your comments.
