Music and Video's are not recognized on the iphone post update on 9/26

Hello everyone,
A couple days I did the iphone update that allowed me to send picture texts etc. After that, when I attempted to play music it said that there was no music content. In addition, when I tried to sync up the phone with itunes it didn't recognize it as a song/video file so I couldn't simply remove and reload (the file was recognized as "other" and took up all the size of the video's/music on the hard drive.
Anyone else have this problem? and/or know how to fix it?

I'm no Apple expert, just ran into this problem myself.
Solution:
1) Before you can transfer the purchases you need to Authorise the computer (do this from the Store menu)
2) Once the computer is authorised, then you can transfer the purchases (File->Devices->Transfer...)
User Experience comments for Apple:
3) Hiding the menu bar is plain stupid and ruins the User Experience. I've been fighting iTunes for weeks and only now have I found it. How useful. This really is not clever or smart. It's amazingly dumb. Frustratingly this is like the rubbish Microsoft is now doing with Vista/7 and moreso with Windows 8.
Repeat after me: Hiding menus does not help the user of the software.
4) The warning when you try to update is useful in that it stops you losing data but useless in that it doesn't tell you (in sensible, non-expert language) how to do this. It really should have either:
     a) A help button taking you to an explanation of the problem
     b) A "transfter these files for me button" that takes you through all the necessary steps, including authorising the computer if need be.
I'm gobsmacked that I'm advising Apple on User Experience issues, but there you go.

    My messages get lost in an eternal loop in my out box and it says that my iCloud me accounts are not recognized by the server. I can send 1 or 2 out of 10.
    We tried adding a new account and that didn't work. We then deleted the account and started again. Still didn't work. Extremely frustrated!

    There also seems to be something wrong with the time!!! My posting says 5:30ish but it was 8:30ish?

  • Music and Video List are not shown in iTunes

    My iTunes will not show music or video (or any media) lists or displays. I had repartitioned my Macbook and ended up doing an fresh OSX install. I used Migration Assistant to clone all my apps, including iTunes, from my MacMini. Everything works except, when I bring up iTunes on the Macbook, I have no lists for Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.
    Despite that, all the music seems to be there as I can get it to advance to the next song, etc. Movies and TV Shows are another problem. I can see the media in the iTunes files. But I can't play them directly in iTunes.
    If I bring up Front Row, I can see the titles for the Videos and TV Shows, but if I select one I get a "bad format" type error message.
    I've tried completely removing and reinstalling iTunes on the Macbook (even removing the related .kext and .plist files). I've tried doing a backup if the iTunes library on the MacMini and a restore into a clean iTunes install on the MacBook, all with no change.
    Any ideas?

    Interesting... my iTunes shows music and TV shows, BUT it doesn't show those tabs in the iTunes Store... I hope someone can answer these! I can't download music!

  • Hard drive and dvd are not recognized in the setup menu, what could be wrong?

    The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the setup menu for my Pavilion a4316f desktop computer.  Could it be a failure of the controller?  Can a PCI controller be used to replace the mother board controller?
    This question was solved.

    The Recovery process would erase you hard drive, and attempt to install a fresh OS. Decidely a bad choice if you wanted to save your data files. The Recovery sets are "tattoo" with the BIOS hardwafre configuration. It will not, IMHO, recognize the PCI Sata card.
    You mentioned the Recovery program on the hard drive actually requested the installer of the controller (PCI card). Try running from that.

  • I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos.  The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.

    I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos.  The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.  Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well.  Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day.  MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

    Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs  will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

    Did you restore the iPod on this computer?
    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?

    I live in China, have Dutch nationality, and no US address or Credit Card; how can I have access to products from the US iTunes store, in particular music, when such items are not available from the China iTunes store? In general, what are the differences between countries' iTunes offerings? Does one really need an address and a credit card for any country to be able to access that countries iTunes store? Why these restrictions?

    You cannot.
    You cannot use another countrys itunes store.
    You must be physically locates inside the borders of a country to use that countrys itunes store and a credit card issued in that country with a valid billing address in that country.
    The owners of the distribution rights of movies/music/etc differ by country.  These distributors decide who can sell their content in that country.
    Buy from another source if your countrys itunes store does not carry somehting that you want.

  • Just purchased Nikon D610. tried to import 3 images and got this message: The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. How do I fix this frustrating problem. Have been using Lightroom for years also Nikon products without any prior

    How do I import images. Have a message that says: The files are not recognized by the raw format suppot in Lightroom. Am using a Mac version 10.9.4. the import is from a new Nikon D610. Am using LR 4.4 Please help Adobe is useless as a support.

    Each camera must be supported explicity and your LR version is years older than your camera.
    According to Adobe's Camera-support page, you need at least LR 5.3 to work with your D610 NEFs in LR:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    If you don't want to upgrade to LR 5, or can't due to your OS being too old, then it might work to use the latest DNG Converter and create DNGs from your NEFs, which should open in LR 4.x.  You can find the DNG Converter here:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

  • Im running lightroom 4 and just purchased the Sony A7 and using its sd card. when I   tried to load the photos, I got a message "the files are not recognized by the raw format support in lightroom"

    Tried loading my raw files shot w my new Sony a7 and its sd card into lightroom4. Got a message: "The files are not recognized by the raw format in lightroom"
    Does Lightroom 4 not work with the Sony A7?
    Thanks,

    Lightroom 4 cannot read the RAW photos from a Sony A7
    You would have to download and install the FREE Adobe DNG Converter version 8.5 and then convert your RAW to DNG, and then import the DNGs into Lightroom 4
    You could also purchase Lightroom 5.5, which will have the capability to read the RAWs directly.

  • Canon 7D Mark II error "Files are not recognized by the raw format support in Light (149)"?

    Has anyone tried to load raw files from a Canon 7D Mark II I get an error "Files are not recognized by the raw format support in Light (149)"?

    Based on previous experience, I expect the final versions of LR, ACR and DNGC to be released simultaneously.  We have so far seen Release Candidates of ACR and DNGC but not LR.
    Unless there needs to be a second ACR/DNGC Release Candidate which happens once every few years for special circumstances, which I don't see any of at the moment.

  • Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

    Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
    are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
    I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
    Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

    I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
    both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
    Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
    I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
    update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
    And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
    I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
    Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !
