ITUNES HATES ME!! help!
Hey. Before i start:
ARGHHHH!!!
now thats over; here is my problem.
my computer recently crashed, so i had to re-download everything, including itunes. this was fine. however the computer had none of my old songs on it. no biggie because they where all on itunes(WHERE). This was fine, and i could live with this for a while until i realised that my iphone had decided to not sync some led zeppling, rage against the machine and kings of leon songs. "strange thinks me" - what's weirder is that they had disapeared from itunes..."odd thinks I"
so i put the led zepp, ratm, coheed and cambria cd's into my pc (i recently moved and threw out all my cds because i stupidly thought i would have an eternal software version of them)- they upload to my itunes without a problem, then i notice i can't drag them into the iphone; slightly annoyed. because i redownloaded itunes i had to reselect the "manually manage music and videos".
but for some ridicolous reason that i can't fathom, if i want to change how I put songs onto the iphone through ITUNES, the IPHONE has to erase everything and re-sync? what one earth!?
so i backup the iphone, "this will store the music, then i can restore it after it changes to manually add music" - says I - 20 minutes later; funny, it hasn't restored my 2,500+ songs. i'll try again. same, again, same, again. now i'm crazy. because not only has the iphone deleted all my songs. they are no longer on itunes...STRANGE
and now i have new apps to add, but it will wipe all my bought apps, which aren't appearing in the purchased folder...so Apple...
WHY can't we drag songs from our music library into the iphone? without changing a setting and losing everything?
WHY can't we drag songs from our iphones into the itunes music library? without being tempted to download possibly harmful programs?
WHY does it need to erase everything and resync to change a setting?
WHY have i lost 2,500 songs?
WHY have i spent so much money to swear and scream at a phone/pc for the last 2 hours?!?!?!?!
and where are my apps?!
HELP before i explode into a nerd rage!
Thanks; a crazed, confused teenager. lol

No, you didn't backup your library and computer hard disc otherwise you wouldn't be having any of these problems. This is what is in a iPhone backup set - nothing thats kept in iTunes basically.

The Apple TV 2 doesn't show up under devices like the Apple TV 1, to send video and music to the Apple TV you need to use the Airplay Option which appears in the lower right corner of iTunes. -

I have updated to the lastest OS on my IPad3. No problem there. Then found I could no longer access my Itunes as there was a message 'Cannot be used as it requires version 10.6.3 or later. Go to ... and download'. I have tried four times and it won't work. I get another message saying I must sign in as administrator or contact my system administrator. I am the only one who uses this PC and have no idea what my administrator password is. Now I cannot use ITunes. Please help if you can. Thank you. Eileen Frost
Many thanks diesel. I cannot remember ever having an administrator password. Looks like I shall have to do a restore on my PC and not bother with the updates. Or maybe I could find my password from somewhere ? When I went into control panel I found a box with administrator and my name and it said password protected so I must have had one at some time. Any ideas on how I could find it ? Many thanks anyway. I always use a password to sign on but obviously that is not it. Eileen

I just installed itunes 10.6.1.7. on a new PC connected an external hard drive containing my itunes library and pointed to my library on an external hard drive.
I also did reorganization of my library structure via "organize library" menu option. The reorg left all video podcasts in the old podcast folder and will not let me copy them to the new podcast folder.
From the itunes store I cannot select a new video podcast and download and view it in itunes. The podcast will show up but the file or episode has a "GET" button next to it and never shows it as available to view in itunes. I have attempted to download many time with no success.
I have podcasts that are all video podcasts and some that are mixed audio podcasts and video podcasts. in both cases the video podcasts remained in the original folder location.
The video podcasts are not in movies or in tv shows. All music is present and accounted for that I know.
How can I restore all video podcasts previously downloaded and view them on itunes or an ipod?
Can I create a video podcast option in itunes?
Please help.Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes.

TS1538 i cant get my new ipod touch 7 to be recognized in itunes? Please help!
I cant my new Ipod Touch 7 to be recognized in Itunes? Please help! I'm trying to sync my music and book files with the new Ipod buts it not even listed under devices. I have an old Ipod that I was using prior to this one that shows up under devices but not the new one. Im only promted to transfer from what appears to be my old device?
Alright, right after posting my question I figured it out. I plugged my iPod into one of the USB ports in the front of the MacPro and it worked like a charm. Now the problem is, what is wrong with the two ports in the back of my Apple Cinema HD screen? That I can't figure out clearly. The USB connection from it to the MacPro is connected.
