ITunes is acting like its the first time I've logged on.

I'm trying to sync my iPod to my itunes account because I recently added new songs to it. When I opened itunes its acting as if I've never used it. No songs are showing up at all. What do I do? I'm more concerned about syncing my iPhone because i don't want to lose all my apps and contacts that are stored in my itunes account. Please help.

Hi Welcome to Apple Discussions.
*Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash*
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the *Previous iTunes Libraries* folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename *iTunes Library.itl* as *iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl* and then rename the restored file as *iTunes Library.itl*. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch (Windows) or Music Folder Files Not Added (Mac) and Super Remove Dead Tracks (Mac) for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working *make a backup!*

Time Capsule is backing up like its the first time - every time.

I have 60+ gigs to backup. It takes a full two days for the first backup. No problem. The problem is that after the initial backup, it should only check and 'update' new material and add to the backup. I understand this just takes a few moments.
My Time Capsule doesn't do this. It begins backing up the entire 60+ gigs again - which takes 2 full days.
I can't find a setting anywhere to adjust this and find nothing in the manual.
Anybody?

Some of it.. is the difference between digital bytes and binary bytes.
You are contrasting the Apple bytes and Orange bytes and worrying why they don't match up.. they will never match up. They are not the same.
If you did not realise it, apple changed the way TM reads the disks to digital bytes.. so a 2TB drive does not format to 1.8TB which is the correct size in binary bytes. (real bytes)
Your HD info on the other hand is actually measuring binary bytes.
If you did not realise..
Here is v5.6 airport utility
Here is v6 airport utility looking at the same drive.
And Time Machine.
How does one version of the utility see the disk as 2TB and the other as 1.8TB.. simple.. one is real bytes and the other is the hard disk manufacturers way of making disks look bigger than they are.. ie digital bytes.
So nowadays I just ignore everything the Mac tells you about file sizes because none of it is now believable. What is truth? When you stop having standards then truth is in the eye of the advertising man and you always get the biggest number for specs and lowest number for price.. and neither are true.
if you are using digital bytes or binary bytes.. so think of it as your maths teacher taught you.. 6 apples does not equal 6 oranges. And when you throw away the standard who knows what you are counting.
Check Pondini for info about what size a backup really is.

It sounds like you might have a slow wifi internet connection? How fast is it with a speed test from your iPad.

I've installed itunes twice. It worked the first time but after I restarted my computer it kept giving me this message: Itunes was not correctly installed. Please reinstall itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127). What's wrong?

Used my girlfriends computer to start my iPad for the first time. I logged into my itunes account. Now the iPad has her iTunes account on it. How do I change it to mine.

You can log out of her account by tapping on the id on the right-hand side of Settings > Store and you can then log in with your id - is that what you want to do ?

ITunes doesn't open after the first time

Hi, my iTunes after the last upgrading doesn't open. Really it open the first time after starting pc then , when i shut down it seems frozen. Could you help me? Do you ave a solution?

Try following steps and test one at a time:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:

4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

Trying to sign into Itunes 9.2.1 for the first time

Hi All
Trying to sign in to itunes store (9.2.1) with a new Apple ID for the first time but it says - Apple ID has not been used with Itunes, please review account information but when i hit continue it just says Session has timed out - searched for answers but nothing has worked so far. Anyone experienced this?
We know the new Apple ID is OK because we can sign into the account outside of itunes, and we know itunes store is working OK because we can sign in with a different old Apple ID account.
I'm on a 2.3 Dual G5 running 10.4.11
Many thanks
Russ

They must have given in to pressure and done something about that because 9.2.1 is working fine with the store now.
I fixed the issue - I had deleted the iTunes cookies as i'd seen suggested in other related posts but I had a dumb moment and didn't restart after I'd done it -
For anyone else looking here with the same problem -
Delete cookies
Close itunes
Restart mac
Sign in to iTunes store
Fixed!
seems weird though how it would work fine with one apple ID but not the new one until I did that. .???
Cheers anyway - hope I've helped someone else out with this too

What computer OS and version do yur have?
Where are you downloading it from?

Every launch i get a block download message like at the first time a tryed to download that file

I've tried to download this file some time ago and got message about blocking like on image (quick translation is "blocked, probably contains a virus or a spy program"). After that every launch of Firefox i get the same message. Cleaning cookes does not help. Also i can not upload image here. Or can? At the moment of typing this question upload animation plays infinitely

that worked. turned off "block reported attack sites" in the security tab and can download. thanks.

HT1349 I can no update my itunes for some reason for the first time having issues nothing happens

I've never had an issue before with updating itunes, but this time, there is an update available and it will not update it. Nothing happens. Everything else in iTunes appears normal as far as apps are there, songs, tones etc... that I've recently purchased. I want to update iTunes then sync my phone. Well, I went ahead and tried to sync my phone without updating iTunes and when I connected my phone I get this message.
"iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unlnown error occured (OxE80000001)"
I'm clueless as to what is going on. I've rebooted my computer and that is all.

see your error code here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221 follow instructions to resolve.

Will iTunes wipe my iPOD clean the first time I plug it in my new PC?

Just built a new PC. I want to download iTunes so i can get my iPOD setup on my new PC, but I want to make sure iTunes isn't going to completely wipe my iPOD when I plug it in.
If I simply download iTunes on my new PC, and plug my iPOD in will it recognize all the songs on my iPOD and create a library on the new PC? Or is there something I have to transfer from my old computer?
Help.

"I want to make sure iTunes isn't going to completely wipe my iPOD when I plug it in"
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer.
"will it recognize all the songs on my iPOD and create a library on the new PC?
No it won't. You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod.
"Or is there something I have to transfer from my old computer?"
Yes, you need to transfer your existing songs from your old PC. There are a few things you could do to move them. You could network the two computers, use an external hard drive or even use your iPod to make the move. Have a look at this User Tip: Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC
If you can network the computers there is also this one: Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows
Alternatively there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

Can you get your ipod touch screen fixed for free if its the first time that is broke?

my friend broke her ipod screen and she took it into apple and they fixed it for free so can i get my fixed for free.

If someone breaks part of their device (intentionally or otherwise) it is not covered by the 1 year warranty so I'm not sure why she would have had it fixed for free.
If you are interested in finding out repair pricing make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store or contact AppleCare via phone.
Cheers.

What is the reason that auto login is not triggered on some web pages, while FF saved the credentials the first time that i logged on

I'm trying to logon to my routers configuration webpage. While FF stored the loginname and password, it will not automatically logon. For other accounts it's just working fine. My router is an Cisco RV042

The website might be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from filling form data like name and password automatically.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered
Firefox won't auto-fill saved form data automatically when autocomplete=off is used and you need to start typing the name to get a drop-down list.
You can check that with the Inspector via the right-click context menu.

I just used itunes for the first time in years with an old id number. It says my computer isnt authorized. The old computer i used is gone now. junked. There is no option to authorize this one. What do I do. Very frustrated

Itunes is saying that my computer isn't authorized. Its the first time ive used my id since 2010 and the computer I had then is junked. Now I have a hp laptop and I can;t authorize this computer. I can't use anything I buy. What do I do?

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it.

ITunes is acting like its the first time I've logged on.
