ITunes on laptop and desk top

Hi there - please bear with me I'm pretty much a complete novice!!
I have an old laptop that I uploaded all my CDs to iTunes originally on.
I have just downloaded iTunes onto my desktop but I cant see any of the cd music just the few items that I have purchased from iTunes.
How do I see the cd contents.
I have used the same Apple ID and password on both.
Many thanks in advance.

Did you put the music on the new computer?  It will not magically appear.  You would have to put it there.
Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old comuter to your new one.

  • Sync laptop and desk top to one iTunes account

    I have been reading some of the posts for syncing multiple computers to one iTunes account. What I get out of it is at this time syncing one iTune account with multiple computers is out unless you want to use a third party software. I work from home and use the laptop most of the time but when I am home I would like to use the desk top to sync with. I am wondering will the iCloud remedy this? The music library is taken care of, it's the apps I am looking to sync.
    Thanks

    No thanks, the next option I have is getting a docking station for the laptop and do away with the desktop. It is four plus years old so it's about time for a new one or an alternative method. External hard drive for backing everything up and using the cloud for work. Sounds like plan "B" is the way to go.

  • Itunes library on laptop and desk top?

    Is there anyway to have the same i tunes library on both my desktop and laptop.

    Sure you can just copy the iTunes folder from one computer to the other. However if what you really meant was can you have the same library on both computers and have them automatically stay synced up together, that isn't possible, at least not easily.
    One way to do it is to keep the library on an external drive or network drive accessible to both computers. However the catch is, they can not use the library at the same time.

  • TS3512 I'm having trouble authorizing iTunes on my new macbook pro due to authorization on computers I no longer have. How do I deauthorize laptops and desk tops I no longer have?

    New MacBook Pro 15" won't authorize my iTunes to sync with my other Apple devices, iPad, iMac, iPod and other MacBook Pro 17" since I have authorized other devices (5 is the limit) that I no longer own.
    How do I get passed this severe limitation? I also assume that my Apple TV won't be alowed to sync due to this limitation as well... any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Sign into your account in iTunes - from that page you should be able to deauthorise ALL 5 authorised computers - supposedly you can do this once a year.
    Thereafter any devices you no longer have will be deauthorised, and you can reauthorise those you still have or are new.

  • Replacement new ipad will not access my home wi fi when my previous i pad did and my i phone continues to, as does my laptop and desk top pcs.  Any ideas as Apple support were baffled for most of yesterday afternoon trying to fix it.

    My ipad had been working fine with home wi fi for 9 months before it developed a fault and was replaced by the Apple Store.  However, the new ipad is unable to use the home wi fi, this seems to be linked to the fact the new ipad has the latest update added, which the old one did not.  Also, my iphone has not, as yet, been updated as I have been out of the country.  I know my wi fi works, as both my desktop and laptop pcs work satisfactorily, as does my iphone. 

    Try this:
    Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
    Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
    Reset Network Settings
    Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
    If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
    If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

  • Since downloading update Caps Lock is backwards on my keyboards (both laptop and desk top)

    I downloaded the the latest Firefox update and couldn't seem to log into any of my favorite sites. This was on my laptop. Now on my desktop I am experiencing the same thing.
    My login is fine because I select from the dropdown menu. But if I have not saved my password for sites like my bank account etc. I cannot log in. I finally figured out it was the key board setting. With caps lock on lowercase, but with caps lock off upper case!
    IMPORTANT NOTE: laptop is Windows 7, Desktop is Linix!

    In two years of daily participation in these forums, I don't recall ever seeing this reported before. So no, it isn't a "known problem". I think what I'd do in your shoes is sit down and type a couple of pages of text while sitting on my left hand, to completely disrupt all my typing habits and force me to do everything with my right hand. If the problem continued to occur under those circumstances, I'd figure it was real and probably a keyboard fault. If not, I'd pay closer attention to my left hand when typing.

    Itunes is on my desk top on windows 7 and I can not open it, I have just downloaded it again and hit repair to see if this helps as well but it still won't open

    Okay, launch iTunes... does it work?

  • I have a lap top and desk top MAC.. Can i buy aperture 3 at the ap storeonce for both?

    I have a lap top and desk top MAC.. Can i buy aperture 3 at the ap storeonce for both?

    There's two ways to buy Aperture.  Either buy the retail version that comes in a box, or buy it from the App Store. The license terms are not the same. 
    If you buy the "box" version then the terms are as Emily posted above (you can install it on one desktop and one laptop as long you own both computers and only use one at a time.)
    If you buy it via the App Store then the terms are different:
    MAC APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES
    Except as otherwise set forth herein,
    You may download and use an application from the Mac App Store (“Mac App Store Product”) for personal, non-commercial use on any Apple-branded products running Mac OS X (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control.
    (ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download a Mac App Store Product for use either (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Computer(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Computer that you own or control. For example, a single employee may use a Mac App Store Product on both the employee’s desktop Mac Computer and laptop Mac Computer, or multiple students may serially use the Product on a single Mac Computer located at a resource center or library.
    (from http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#APPS)
    If you are a private user (not a business or school) then the license applies more like a "family pack" license... as long as it's your computer, you can install and use it.  You can even run more than one copy at the same time. 

  • TS4062 How can i change my syncing from laptop to desk top?

    I had a laptop & i was syncing my ipad to it, but then it got burned, now i want to synce to my desk top, but every time i conect to it, i get a message saying that it's not synce with this library do i want to erase it and synce it to the new library?
    I don't want to erase my ipad i want to chang the syncing from the laptop to desk top

    " i get a message saying that it's not synce with this library do i want to erase it and synce it to the new library?"
    Correct.  The ipod touch/ipad/iphone will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup to put everything on the new computer, then sync.

  • Cannot seem to get a signal from my router with my Ipod touch. Lap top and desk top are working fine.

    I have been having trouble with my Ipod touch getting a signal from my 2wire router. This is an easy set up for lap top and desk top. Now I can't seem to get the internet with my ipod. I can get the a signal with my wife's ipod 3rd generation with no problems.  My old ipod i purchased in early 07. I can get a signal at the local McDonalds or Starbucks. Just not at home. Does anyone else have this problem? I ran the reset as prescribed by apple but have been unsuccessful.

    The problem is most likely with your router.  Follow the instructions in the router's manual to reset it.  Also what security are you using?  If it's WEP upgrade to WPA.  The iPod sometimes has trouble with WEP "protected" routers.  I put "protected" in quotation marks because WEP security is essentially useless.  It can be hacked in less that 30 seconds.

  • Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen.  Full Wifi signal on both devices

    Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen.  Full Wifi signal on both devices so can't think what could be causing it to happen. Any suggestions please?

    Sorry, I updated another thread I was a part of but didn't update my own thread.....ughhh!
    I updated all of my ATV 2's and 3's to the latest firmware when it was released and have been problem free since. I do believe the major issue of not being able to connect after a period of inactivity has been corrected with the latest ATV firmware.
    I can look at my network connection table using "netstat -an" in a CMD window and I do not see the massive number of connections I saw before the update.
    Here is a link to the other thread I was referring to above:

    Have you applied the latest firmware updates to your ATV 3's?

  • My start button and desk top menu keep relocating themselves to top, and sides, How do I get them back on the botom of the page and keep them there?

    When I initialize my start up, and my home page loads, my start button, short cut icons, and desk top menu will move from the bottom where I prefer them, to the top, or left and tight sides, which shortens my home page, or any site I go to. How do I lock them in to the bottom and keep them there. This has just started in the past 2 weeks.

    Drag the Taskbar with the Start button to the wanted position and right click that bar the lock it to prevent accidental moving it.

    Hi Kim ...
    Might not just be the security code > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
    Apple "verifies" your billing credentials with every transaction.
    what does my debit card have to do with my having a redeemed ITunes card
    If the total purchase price of the media including any applicable taxes or fees exceeds the balance of the redeemed card, then the difference is charged to your debit or credit card account.
