Major problem.. I need to transfer the music from my ipod to my computer. but it seems that iTunes will only let transfer purchased songs from the itunes store?? :S
my computer recently crashed and i lost everything from it, literally.
I dont have my cds anymore as they were stolen from my car so the only thing that has my music on it is my ipod. I dont have it backed up at all
I've tried to tranfer it back onto the computer via itunes importing but it will only import purchased songs i got from itunes store.
Does anyone know how i can transfer the other music i got from other sources? please help

ipad is connected to the computer however doesn't show up in the menu, I'm trying to restore it but am concerned that it will restore the iphone and not the ipad. any suggestions?
Hi vanover7,
It sounds as if when you connect your iPad to your computer it does not show up in iTunes, is that correct?
Please use the steps in this article to troubleshoot the issue -

My generation 6 IPOD Nano will not let me put songs on my playlist from the library. A message comes up saying it has to be downloaded from the cloud. I do I bypass this?
If the songs are not in your iTunes library, download them as indicated here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. Then sync them to your iPod.

As I Said..I just wondered if it was possible to upgrade my software without having to connect my mac to the net..I have never connected it as a precaution against any nasties.It seems that i have been sent a password protected PDf with a link to the MAC APP Store..but you can only access the mac app store if you have a mac connected to the web. any ideas..?
Hi,
if connecting that specific Mac to the web is an issue, what you will need, anyway, is another Mac computer with OS X 10.6.8 so you can start the Mac App Store in order to download the Lion installer.
On that second computer, you can copy the Lion installer on a USB stick or other storage solution, and then copy the installer on the Mac-you-cannot-connect-to-the-internet .
You could even burn a Lion install DVD from the installer. More info about this here

Several years ago I got an ipod touch as a gift and set it up with my then current apple ID from previous apple products. Since then I got an iphone4s. When that got set up it got set up with a new ID because at the time, I couldn't access my old one because I had forgotten the passwords and the passwords to acces the email account to which the info would have been sent (a problem since solved.) I have a lot of music on my ipod that I would like to transfer to my iphone, but I cannot seem to sync it to my computer because it that music was downloaded from a differnt ID. Can I fix this? Some of the music are CDs that have since been damaged, and some is downloaded music I'd rather not pay for again.Thanks for the help!

I bought a new macbook pro and now every time i try to buy anything with my apple id it doesn't go through. I tried Ibooks and iTunes but neither one will work. I have registered this computer and even tried unregistering all the other computers but that did not do anything. I also checked my form of payment and that is not the problem either because i have no problems what so ever buying anything on my iPhone or my desktop computer.
It is just this computer.
I try to buy something and something pops up and says... "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-45054). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later."
And i have been trying later for 2days now.Have you tried repairing disk permissions : iTunes download error -45054

Itunes will only let me restore... but the phones working alright
i've had tons of problems with the iphone and have had to restore it about 8 times in the last month.... i was able to restore from backup last night, then it backed up the phone.
tonight i plugged it in to sync, backup, etc. and in itunes when you click on the (device) iphone icon it brings up the set up your phone page. it says "an iphone has been previously synced with this computer" and gives two options
set up as a new phone (or)
restore from the backup of:
and shows my last sync was today at 12:20 am
as if it wasn't bad enough i always have to backup and restore my phone cause its frozen, etc but to have to do it when its doing ok.... does anyone know how to get around this.
and of coarse i'm also dealing with the applications not working on my phone right now but i'm just gunna wait it out till the september update, cause all the restoring stuff is crazy.
so the problem i need help with is getting around the set up your iphone part.... i don't have a ton of new stuff to loose, but i am tired of loosing it none the less.ok so i did take the plunge and i restored as a new phone, and it was so weird.... it actually synced the contacts and everything... then it started to install apps so i stopped it and set it to restore from backup....
so that saved my new calander, contacts, and bookmarks. unfortunatly you loose text messages every time you have to do this.... it would be so nice if there was a program for texts so it could sync text messages as well.
oh and i'm glad i remembered to download my pictures in iphoto before i restored, it would be nice if the pictures you took with the phone automatically synced in itunes... cause with all the problems we're having sometimes you forget you still have the ability to back them up.
i'm still very open to any suggestions for if this happens again in the future.... i sure hope apple has people reading these to see what they need to improve.... cause iphones are truly awesome... when they're working correctly. -

i have just bought my first mac and have been told in pc world that i can get a free upgrade to lion, but it would appear that this is only for those in the u.s. and canada. is this true? also from reading the discussions it seems that lion is not a good thing. i am already regretting my decision to go to a mac.
I have found that both Linux and Mac (unix) are capable of reading "deep" folders while win 32 will have issues, your it people are clearly wrong. I run a network with both win/mac. And as long as the win servers/pc's that have shares are set to allow apple file sharing in their folder properties. And the macs are set to allow smb there should absolutely no trouble with you accessing anything across the platforms, heck, from a Mac to a win pc on some occasions you don't even need to include a "domain" name to log on to, and you can create aliases and make your own shortcuts etc... So you don't have to manually connect each time you boot up etc... But that's all personal preferences I suppose.
All I can tell you is that, I do it on a daily basis managing a small business. So your answer is yes you can. -
It appears that you can not browse the catalog by release date or see all the new additions to the catalog.
