Itunes - Missed a step tranfering friends library/music. Any help thankful
Last week my friend got a new external hard drive and I was asked to copy his music over to it. I did this ,then I just changed his ITunes music folder location to the new harddrive. And I didnt consolidate it.
But now he is having problems with ITunes. Am not too sure what they are cos I havent been to his place. But it sounds like it cant find songs and sync correctly.
But now I have a step-by-step guide and he has a new computer. Shall I just copy the songs back to the original location and do it from scratch correctly. or just copy the music to the new pc, install ITunes and redo his whole ipod. (About 7000 songs)
Any help appreciated.

"Shall I just copy the songs back to the original location and do it from scratch correctly."
That would seem the best option.

I used the youtube mp3 converter via Safari and I can't find where the music downloaded to. It isn't in iTunes or my music library. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I should say that I am doing this on the iPhone4 and not a laptop.I believe that there is an app called MxTube that lets you download high quality youtube videos to your iPhone

Asking for help getting previous purchases on my ipod touch and iPad... my computer hard drive crashed and I replaced it. My music was a mess. I restored most back but some of my purchased music is saying it is downloaded but it is nowhere to be found. I don't understand why I can't get the music I already paid for back in my library. Any help? would be appreciated...
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Are you doing this?
You have to sign in and download each iTunes account individually. -
i have an iphone lost the music somehow? then went onto itunes on the app it downloaded the music again, but doesnt play and i have to plug it into my laptop and its not my iphone and i cannot sync any of the music any help? the orginial compter now does not work any suggestions?
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
In brief; backup the device, recover what you can from it, download other purchases from the iTunes Store, restore the device, add content, keep a backup of your library in future.

get the following message when trying to download iTunes, " program C:\program files (x86)\itunes\ituneshelper.exe" R6034 attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly, any help or experience with this?
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I use Djay for my Apple and I would like to use TC as an external hd to access from Djay, however when I look for my external T1 drive I cannot find it in iTunes so I can load onto Djay? Any help?
Initially, you asked if you can hardwire your MBA to the TC. The answer is yes, by using the optional USB Ethernet adapter that Apple provides. However, in order for your MBA to access the TC's internal or USB-attached HDD, it would need to establish a network connection to it. This would be true of any NAS device on an Ethernet network. Therein, lies the problem. Your MBA cannot connect to two networks simultaneously.
One option then, would be to have two separate iTunes Media folders; one on the MBA & the other on the TC. This way, you can download the music to your MBA when connected to the Internet at the AirPort lounge, and then use iTunes Consolidate Library feature to transfer the audio files to the TC's iTunes Media Folder location. A great program to help maintain multiple iTunes Librarys and/or Media Folders, that you may want to consider, is PowerTunes. -
Im trying to activate iphone with itunes and I get: "The iTunes store is temporary unavailable..." Any help??
Hello there, sarahg12.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting repeated prompts for authorization:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389
All the topics are relevant but this one tends to be the most common culprit:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
After you have Recovered your Device...Re-Sync your Content
Note:
To remove a forgotten Restrictions passcode you will need to Restore the Device as New...
OR... From a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set.... -
After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times). Any help?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now? -

Can you use the mouse to access and start System Preferences?
When you rest the mouse over a dock icon, does its name pop up?
What happens if you open an application by ctrl-clicking on the icon then selecting Open?

New itunes quits on me (10.5.8, G4) any help?
new itunes quits on me (10.5.8, G4) any help?
Jim,
Thanks for the quick response!
That is what it needed, I deleted it and the redid the settings
Now ripping again @ 40x +
So just for fun, i checked the error correction box again and did a rip at 8x as expected.
Then I unchecked the error correction box, and again the problem remained.
Looks to be a bug discovery in iTunes 9, as I did this on my MacPro as well and it did the same thing.
I had to delete the plist again to resolve it.
Thanks so much!
