Laptop gives me no access to songs
I transferred my entire ipod library - latest system to the laptop with no problems. When I went to transfer it back to my desktop - version 10.3.9 - so I could sell the laptop, the songs came over with no user access. Command I tells me this under ownership and permissions. How do I get full access to my songs without having to put them all back in manually. I still have access to the laptop with the songs on for another week.
Hello, is there anybody out there? I think the problem might be in that the 10.5.x system on the laptop, with no users other than admin set up, has a permissions problems as it is always asking for the password to do even simple tasks like put items in the trash or empty the trash. I think it does not network share properly as often you don't have enough permission to do things and I think that it has assigned all the permissions to files as read only for that admin user and so when I transfer files back they are locked and have read only or no access. To change thousands of files back one at a time in a command I window is unthinkabl! There must be another solution. Maybe I need to change permissions on the laptop first or adjust file sharing somehow.

Is it possible for itunes on my MacBook Pro to play songs off my networked Western Drive external hard drive so I can sync to my Mac to my iPhone? I do not want to keep any music on my laptop and I don't want to pay $25 to itunes match a year to access my songs if I don't have to.
Hi turingtest2,
Thank you for replying. I've been looking at your posts about setting up iTunes using an external drive. A bit of background info. My old computer broke down, so I got a new one from work. I've always kept my music files on my external drive (I have around 170GB of music). I didn't follow the suggestions in the "migrate iTunes library" post because my old computer died on me. However, I've looked at your posts about lay out of the iTunes folders. Before connecting to iTunes on the new computer, I had reorganized my iTunes folder on my E: external drive, and created an iTunes folder which contains an iTunes Media subfolder. The music files are in a Music folder, which is in the iTunes Media folder. I've also put the following files in my iTunes folder: iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, iTunes Music Library.xml, as well as sentinel. I then followed the advice you gave bmw99 on 2 Nov 2013 at 9.58 (sorry, can't copy the exact answer).
Just to clarify: I'd like to keep all my music media on the E: external hard drive (the computer hard drive is too small), and I'm aware i might never have my playlists back, and that all the songs in my library might be ticked. However, I don't want my library to be duplicated.
I'm at work at the moment, but will be back home in about 10 hours, so I can be more specific about folders / files names.
I'm glad you picked up my message and greatly appreciate your help.

Updated my itunes software as requested online, cannot access my songs?
Updated my existing itunes software on my laptop as requested online and now I cannot access my songs from any of the itunes files?
When I click on a song it says; the song " "could not be located because the original file could not be found.
How do I get my songs back?I charged & tried a different USB and got the same thing, but figured out that if I plug it in and then open iTunes rather than the other way around it recognises the device. Go figure! The playcount still doesn't update though But thanks for your advice anyway!

I copied a lot of photos from an iphone to a DVD using a Windows 7 laptop, now I cannot access those photos on the DVD. HELP! In Windows Exlporer I can see the data on the disk in the details but when I click on it nothing appears as if there is nothing on it.
It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

I have a ipod shuffle synced to a desktop (ver 9), I have a new laptop and downloaded itunes (ver 10.7). When i plug the ipod in the new laptop it wants to delete my songs. How do i use my new alptop and ipod together?
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Our end users need to be able to give their managers access to enable their out of office.
question 1. Can this be done without giving them full access?
question 2. If they need full access, can the end user themselves give this access? (I've tried giving another user "owner" rights, but the user still can't seem to open my calendar from OWA to adjust my out of office)
question 3. Can this be done without an Sys Admin being involved?You can create a RBAC role for each manager scoped to each of their employees that lets them run the Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration cmdlet on the exchange server. Otherwise they will need full access to the users mailbox which an admin would have
to grant, the end user can not grant this permission. Then they can open the other users mailbox in OWA and set the OOF

How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows search. The track plays on my iPad and my iPhones but will not play on my laptop!?
It has an "!" To the left of the song title in my library
My worry is that if I sync my iPad/iPhone then I will lose the track on those also!If you cannot find the file on your hard drive then once you delete the current broken entry you should be able to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This assumes the item in question qualifies. Note that audiobooks, digital booklets, iTunes LPs & Extras, ringtones, selected movies etc. don't.
If prompted don't hide the item. You may find that you need to close and then reopen iTunes before it will appear for download.

Copied my iTunes from my Mac to my Windows 7 laptop, now there are thousands of songs missing on the Windows copy with the exclamation point. everything shows up, playlists and tracks, there are just a bunch of songs with exclamation points. how can i properly sync my iTunes from my Mac to my PC? using iTunes
Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.
Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

I have transferred my itunes library to an external drive. I then attached the external disk to a new computer. I can now access all songs from the new computer. But I can't access playlists. I can still access all songs and playlists on the old computer
If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.
You can request a new password here http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ -

hi i need help
hi my laptop with my itunes lubrary has crashed so i got a new one but i dont want to sync my iphone to the new laptop incase i lose all my songs on my iphone. how do i sync to a new one without losing everythingThe right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu. -

You need to use a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
