Move library to new PC iTunes won't recognize music library
Followed the "Move items to another computer" directions under iTunes help. Can see the songs listed in the iTunes folder on the new PC - but when I open iTunes it doesn't recognize any music. Tried synching and it says there is no music so if I synch will lose everything on the iPOD. How do I get iTunes to recognize the library on the new PC?
I'm having the same problem. Is this discussion forum moderated? iTunes says that my ipod is associated with another library. I backed up my library on an external hard drive but it's not seeing it.

Unplug your Iphone out of your computer and replug it back in. It took me several times before I could do this

My Itunes Won't Recognize The Music I Already Have!
My computer I had my Itunes program on crashed and I installed it on a new computer and now i still have the music on there but the new Itunes won't recognize it. And it won't allow me to put new songs on there. What's up?
i will suggest you to follow this article from the apple's knowledge base. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303635.
Most important thing when you are adding music to the itunes library by doing "Add folder to library " be sure to have this option checked "copy files to itunes music folder when adding to library " , its under Advanced menu in itunes preferences.

Itunes won't recognize ipod and videos gone
I have a 30GB Video Ipod and itunes won't recognize it. I have to keep putting the music files back in and converting them. Also the Movie and TV Shows I bought disappeared. I have a Windows XP Home Edition, and itunes 7. I downloaded itunes about 4 or 5 months ago, it that helps. My ipod shows up in my computer though. I want to know:
1. How can I get itunes to recognize my ipod
2. How do I get itunes to keep and remember my files
3. How do I get my videos back?
4. Which version of itunes should I get and how do I get it?Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This article addresses both error messages...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
As for the iPod not turning off. Try resetting...
Reset iPod
After you reset it, wait about a minute and then try turning it off.

Itunes won't recognize my balance from a purchased gift card so I cannot buy any new songs
itunes won't recognize my balance from a gift card & won't let me purchase anything from the itunes store. How do I fix this?
I have a similar issue. CD's I purchased were downloaded to ITunes years ago and used on my 1G and 2G Ipods and 3gs Iphone. They are still on my ITunes but won't sync to my I phone 5. curious if this is a licensing issue or flaw in the system. Would love to hear my old CD purchased music without having to buy new digital music. Any insight to this situation would be great.

ITunes won't recognize MP3s ripped from CD
Before iTunes was available for Windows, I was using MusicMatch to rip MP3s from Audio CDs....iTunes won't recognize those files...they are not protected...i have consolidated my library and even physically moved the files into the iTunes Music folder...I have deleted my .iml file and reloaded both iTunes and my 'library'...same result...other programs such as Media Player recognize and play these specific files, so I am at a total loss..Windows Explorer tells me that these files will open with iTunes, but when I select 'Open With..', iTunes will start but the song never plays and isn't added to my library...I spent hours and hours and hours ripping these CDs...is there a setting or preference that I am missing? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The headers on the problem tracks may be nonstandard or corrupted (this can happen with some MP3 conversion or import utilities). If you search the web for "mp3 repair" you'll find a number of repair tools. Here's one I've seen mentioned:
VBRfix.
I haven't tried any of the versions of this, so I can't attest to how well (or indeed if) they work.
Hope this helps. -
My iTunes won't recognize my iPhone 6 when I plug it up

ITunes won't recognize my 120 gb iPod Classic?
My mac recognizes my iPod Classic as a device but not specifically as an ipod and itunes won't recognize it so I can't sync any of my music...it worked perfectly fine this morning. I think I messed it up but I don't know how to fix it, so here's the story: Originally I was just trying to put movies (that are in itunes) onto my ipod through my mac but nothing worked (i tried manually and automatically syncing, changing the file type, etc), so I plugged it into my PC laptop to try to put the movies on it that way but it reformatted my iPod and deleted everything and the movies didn't even go on.. when I plugged it back into my Mac itunes opened automatically like it should but didn't recognize any devices so I can't even restore it to reformat it Nothing that I have come across on the internet has worked. please help me
I have the same problem. Downloaded iturne 9 and now it wont recognize my iPod. My Computer recognizes it until itunes opens then itunes ejects the ipod. I have a Classic 80GB. I have reset it, I have reinstalled itunes. No go. I think that I read somewhere in the download section (too late obviously) that itune 9 only syncs Classics (fall 2009) versions and iphones.

ITunes won't recognize my internal cd-rw/dvd-rw drive, but my Toast does???
I purchased a new internal cd/dvd-rw drive, installed it, and everything functions perfectly. It even works fine in Toast. But...my ITunes will not recognize my new drive. Can anyone help me with this problem?
Also, I'm able to burn ITunes songs in Toast. But some of the songs have a little lock inside the Itunes logo, and it says I can only burn those locked songs in ITunes. Well, I can't do that because ITunes won't recognize my drive. Is there any way around the locked songs?
Any HELP would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!Is there any way around the locked songs?
No, the protection scheme prevents other applications from burning protected music.
You can try to install a new driver/profile for your drive by using PatchBurn (www.patchburn.de). iTunes might recognize your new drive.
Download the Panther (10.3) version.
Hope this helps.

I have connected the iPhone but iTunes won't recognize it. The phone has a red sign saying " iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes" What can be done?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
Itunes won't recognize a valid password
Here's a weird one. (MacBook Pro 2.4G 10.6.2) Tried to buy something on the itunes store, and my password does not work. So, I recover the password. Still doesn't work. Then I reset the password... 3 times. None of those work either.
So, I go to my office computer (Mac Pro 8-core 10.6.2) and reset the password again. Works fine. I can access the itunes store or anything else on Apple's site. I take that same password into the other room, and using the MacBook Pro, the itunes store says "invalid user or password" and will not allow me on. Yet, I am still on that computer, using that same password, to log into the forums here... This computer will log into Apple but not into itunes.
itunes support says that since the password is stored on their site, it should work on either computer. It doesn't.
Ideas??
thanks
DonI am having a similar issue. I recently tried to sync my Ipod with iTunes and got a message saying 100 songs were not autorized and I need to authorize computer. Odd as I have been syncing these devices for years. I go to authorize, and iTunes won't recognize my password. I change password. Still no luck. then I go to STORE>>VIEW MY ACCOUNT, and using the same user ID and password I can access all my info. But when I try STORE>>AUTHORIZE COMPUTER, I get the failed message again. How is that possible? So, now I have music I can't play on my iPod for absolutely no reason.

So i have a 120GB MacBook that's about 4 years old (just updated to Snow Leopard--been working in Iraq, i'm a little behind).
Never had a problem with it.
I also have an iPhone 4 which i've had for about a year (up-to-date software as of about a month ago).
Never had a problem with it.
I've had iTunes for years of course (up-to-date).
Never had a problem.
1.
Now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone since the Snow Leopard update.
iPhoto will recognize my phone, but iTunes won't.
Went through all the preferrences and i can't find anything that isn't set properly.
iTunes Helper is used during startup.
Everything seems fine.
Any help?
2.
I use a WD external hard drive to back my Mac up every week or so.
I recently realized that half of my pictures from iPhoto are not copied to the external.
They haven't been transfering over.
So i snooped through my folders and as it turns out, iPhoto hasn't been copying the pictures i import from my iPhone to iPhoto and saving them as .jpg files in the pictures folder (or iPhoto album or whatever) like i think it's supposed to.
My pictures folder has approx half of all my pictures in it, meaning at some point (probably 2 years ago) iPhoto stopped making the file copies of my imported pictures.
I do not know why.
No idea how to fix it.
If i were able to fix that (with your help), would all the pictures that haven't been copied automatically copy to my pictures folder once i had the issue resolved or would there be a lot of dragging and dropping?
I've been clumsily and sloppily copying all my pictures to a new folder on my desktop and manually transferring that folder to a thumb drive (which i keep in my pocket) and my external (just so i have them in some form) in case my computer crashes or a mortar shell lands on my room and blows my computer up.
Can anyone please help me with any of this?
I can't just stoll down to the Apple store to ask the Genius Bar (I'm in Baghdad) and i don't have Apple Care so no one will help me on the phone when i call Apple.
Thanks so much.hey mill1640,
Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
Many thanks,
