Itunes on new iMac has only two albums

my new iMac has only the two most recent acquisitions, one of which is the U2 album. I had the same problem with new iPhone 6 back in october but can't remember how i fixed it. Same with iBooks, which shows two old purchases, but none of the recent downloads.

Did you copy you entire /Music/iTUnes/ folder from you old computer to /Music/ on your new computer?
When you get a new place to live, is it magically filled with all your belongings?

  • New imac has only one firewire 800 port?

    Is there a hub or repeater you can use instead of daisy chaining. Can't figure out why my old imac has two firewire ports and the new imac has one. How are others managing multiple hard drives? I wish to use a hub for my firewire connections. What is the best way. thanks

    You can locate Firewire hubs however they are expensive. I have had 3 Firewire 800 external HD's daisy chained together for 3 years that work flawlessly. The drives I have come with 2 FW 800 ports so this is quite easy, there are several top quality external HD's that are similar including:
    OWC Mercury Pro line
    Lacie Quadra D2 line (this is what i have)
    G-Tech G series line
    All of these drives have similar specifications and are all high quality products. I think you will find them to be the most recommended on these forums.
    BTW your old iMac had 1 Firewire port and 1 Firewire 800 port not 2 firewire ports.

  • I do not have an option to join tracks in Itunes 11.2.2.3. My options button has only two choices after selecting multiple tracks.

    I do not have an option to join tracks in Itunes 11.2.2.3. My options button has only two choices after selecting multiple tracks - get track names and submit cd track names. How do I join multiple tracks into one?

    Weird, works for me.

    imessage on my iMac has created two iMessage account both asking for Apple ID....and no option to - (delete) one of the two duplicate accounts....how can I delete one of them it just bothers me due to sign in issues....when signed into one it signs out the other and goes inactive I just wanted to delete one of them so this issue doesn't happen....why doesn't it give the option to delete ONLY these two accounts

    1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID.  You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
    2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
    3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate.  Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME  and visa versa.
    4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

  • Multiple Issues with iTunes on New iMac

    Hello Apple Community,
    I recently bought a 27" iMac with 3.1Ghz i5 processor running on Snow Leopard and finally set it up.  I have owned many Macs in the past and currently have been using a 5 year old 15" MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard that has been running flawlessly but I needed something with a bit more processing power.  When I first took my iMac out of the box I went ahead and used the Migration Assistant to move my applications and files over from my MacBook Pro but after multiple attempts I had to stop and simply move the music, document, and photo data on to a portable hard drive while I got the Migration Assistant to move the applications.  I simply moved the old iTunes music folder over to my new iMac and replaced the iTunes folder on my iMac.  The new iMac has already been authorized through my iTunes account and the music will play.  Now here are my current issues.
    When I play a song on iTunes, there appears to be a random amount of fade-in and/or crossfade when I switch playing songs.  I have checked the playback preferences and crossfade is not checked.  Some songs the crossfade will take a second while sometimes it will be as much as 10 seconds of crossfade.  On my MacBook with the identical library and settings, it does not have these issues.
    The other issue I have been experiencing is if iTunes has been open and my computer sits for a little while (usually after awaking from sleep or even listening to a few songs without touching the keyboard, the songs will stop playing on their own and when I press the play button, it begins to "play" the track but there is no sound coming from iTunes.  I have checked the volume slider in iTunes and it is still at max volume while all other applications still work and output sound.  iTunes will only work properly if I close it and re-open it.
    The final issue is similar to the last one in that when I try and play previews in the iTunes Music store it will not play but when I hit the play button iTunes will then appear to be "playing" but no sound from either the store or any of my songs from the Library.
    iTunes works perfectly fine on my MacBook Pro and it does have any of these issues.  Both Macs are currently running iTunes 10.4.1.  All songs in each library are checked and will play to a degree.
    I have deleted iTunes and all corresponding library files, (basically anything with iTunes in the name) and tried to reinstall iTunes and used multiple methods to replace the music files including using Home Sharing, a portable Hard Drive, and dragging and dropping the music files from the shared folder and no matter what I try, I still cannot get iTunes on my iMac to work properly.  I have been searching around the support forums for others who might have had this issue but I cannot seem to find much.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I had not tried that before, but from your suggestion, I went ahead and did it and it seems to have gotten rid of the crossfade issues I was experiencing but whenever I try and listen to a preview in the iTunes music store it still does not appear to be working.  Also, I was testing a number of tracks and it seems like there are a few tracks in particular that will make iTunes stop playing when I click on them and then if I attempt to play something else, iTunes says it is playing but no sound is coming from it. 
    What I have found that is interesting is the first time I ran the Disk Utility it repaired a HUGE number of misc. files.  After running it and still experiencing problems I tried to run it again but this time the files were not as numerous and were all within the /Library/CoreServices menu.  Each subsequent time I ran the Disk Utility and rebooted, I tried to run the Disk Utility again and the same files seem to still be having the same issues.  This is just an example of one of the files I have been having an issue with.
    Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" , should be drwxr-xr-x , they are -rwxr-xr-x .
    Repaired "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" .
    One in particular gave me a Warning and said it could not be repaired.  I'm not sure if it is important to repair but I still seem to be having some issues here and there.  Here is the message from the Disk Utility regarding the file in question.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

  • My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

    My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

    I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited.  In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items.  I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible.  I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected.  Hope this helps!

    New iMac has never chimed at startup? Is this the new Startup? Im curious becuase my machine runs perfectly, and I know Apple takes some pride in its StartUp Chime.

    Not normal,

    I share this person's pain.  And was just now about to ask the same question.  So, in effect we're screwed.  I have the disc but without a drive I think E12 and this computer is going to have a very short life in my life.  And for the life of me, why is so darn hard to get questions answered by Adobe?  Good grief...I have 2 books and have saty through enough video "tutorials" to last me for some time!

  • Can't open iTunes on new iMac

    After migrating all my documents from a ProMac to an iMac I can't open iTunes in new iMac.  "iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."  When I select "Download iTunes" I get "No Updates available" and an unknown error (-42408)

    Since it's brand new I'd call AppleCare and let them walk you through it. They will have you try things and you can give immediate feedback and they will take you to the next step. That would take us too long here. Apple's service is very good.

  • Dictation on my new iMac has stopped working on both the internal

    Dictation on my new iMac has stopped working on both the internal & external microphones. Any suggestions?

    Does the onscreen microphone come up but it doesn't convert speech to text? Or does the onscreen microphone not appear at all?
    In System Preferences > Dictation & Speech > Dictation, is the microphone set to "Automatic"? You might try setting it to "Internal microphone" to see if it works.
    Have you tried restarting the iMac?

  • The new iMac has no cd drive so how do I download software that I have?

    The new iMac has no cd drive so how do I download software that I have? I have adobe photoshop elements 11 and baboo drawing pad and they both have CDs to install.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The new iMac hasn't got a SuperDrive to insert CDs and DVDs, so you can't install software from CDs and DVDs.
    Instead, you have different ways to install the applications you have on DVDs:
    1. Buy any external optical drive for your Mac and use it to install your applications.
    2. If you have another PC or Mac, you can save the external optical drive cost and use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Note that this may be a bit slow

  • Is it true that the new imac has a touch screen feature?

    is it true that the new imac has a touch screen feature?

    No, it is not true. There are third-party resellers that modify iMacs to add a touch screen, but the iMac as shipped by Apple does not have a touch screen.

  • 2011 IMAC has only 4Gig memory..new OS is eating it up....what do I do?

    Before spending big bucks or 20% of new purchase on new IMAC...how high should I uopgrade memory to?

    What 20 percent?
    I've bought all my Mac RAM from one place for over a decade and they have a kit to add 4GB RAM to your model for about US$60:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S04S/
    That kit will give you a total of 8GB RAM, which should be adequate for most tasks outside of pro video and audio apps. Installation takes about 10-15 minutes and is an easy DIY project.
    Also remember that OSX has better memory management than many people give credit. Often, what comes across as a RAM issue turns out to be system confusion due to the installing of system-modifying hacks, anti-virus software, or those awful "I'll clean up your Mac for you" programs. I hope you have not trod that path!
