Music not in iTunes or iPod help please!!
I am currently on Windows Vista, but my old computer was XP. The hard drive of my old computer got so full I had to delete all my music to free up some space. I thought I had backed it up on disc use on my iPod, but later I found out that somehow that hadn't happened.
So I figured I could just transfer everything to my new computer from my ipod. I hooked it up, told it not to erase anything, enabled manual use, all that good stuff, and itunes locks up. So I restarted my computer and replugged the ipod, but rater than ask me the same questions itunes just erased everthing on my ipod! The only things in itunes and my ipod are purchases! Most of my songs were from CDs, a lot of which I don't own or have since lost. I had over a thousand songs and now I have 96.
Is there anyway to recover songs off your ipod once itunes decides to delete them or am I just screwed? I didn't even get a chance to download a program that could have transfered my music from my ipod. Please help me!
*The hard drive of my old computer got so full I had to delete all my music to free up some space.*
You really painted yourself into a corner. The better solution would have been to purchase an external drive. I've seen 290G units for less than US$100. The iPod should NEVER be the prime storage device.
*I thought I had backed it up on disc use on my iPod...*
You've got it backwards. The computer's hard drive backs up the iPod. Further, the computer's hard drive should be backed up to CDs/DVDs or yet another external hard drive but certainly not the iPod as the iPod backs up NOTHING.
*Most of my songs were from CDs, a lot of which I don't own...*
Well, now that I realize that you're stealing music, I no longer have any sympathy for you.

I keep losing the music from my iTunes library. Help please!!!
For some reason when i shut my iTunes down the next time i open it all of the songs have gone from my library. I can restore them from my itunes music folder but i do not know why this is happening and its really starting to annoy me. Any help please?????
That happens when the itunes database file doesn't get saved properly. By design, if itunes can't find a valid database file, it makes a new blank one.
iTunes Library.itl is the name of the file.
Is this on a Sony Vaio? There is a well-known bug with some bad sony software that erases the itunes database file. There are also problems with some ant-virus/security software packages not letting itunes save that file. -
Itunes is not reading 3rd generation ipod. help please.
ok so here is the deal. i just bought a 3rd generation ipod for my lil sister and itunes does not read it at all. but i have a 2nd generation ipod myself and it works just fine. i have done the 5 R thing and it still does not work. anyone have any suggestions?
Restoring it will erase the songs from your iPod, but not iTunes. It's simply a matter of loading them again from your library.
I think this is your only option. -
The pass 4 days now my iTunes Store is not responding, when I reload it all that comes up is a blank white page that says iTunes Store. Help please!!!! Cannot load my gift card to buy music and such!!!
I tookyour suggestion and SUCCESS! I can now access the Itunes Store. A simple fix, and thanks so much!!.
Below is the advice you forwarded:
I found a solution to my problem.
> start menu
> accessories,
> right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".
Once it opens, type in the following command...
netsh winsock reset
hit enter
You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.
Thanks again, -Dean Stoneburner -
My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!
The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

Hi, my iphone its in recovery mode and when i restore my iphone 5s loading show the blue screen and show note on itunes (unknown error 14) please i need your help please . thanks
In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
Check your USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section. -

Im trying to get some purchased songs to sync onto my ipad, but when i try it says they could not be synced as i need to authorise my computer which has been done already but its still not syncing them can someone help please?
Hello there, Gemss.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for the issue you're describing:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Although all of the scenarios may be applicable, many folks find that the following section helps resolve their issue most often:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Updating music files from itunes to ipod
hi,
i'm having troubles with my 4gb nano.
i'm using manually manage my files.
i've dragged and dropped music files from itunes to ipod.
but when i change the id3 tags of those files in itunes, then "update my ipod" from the file menu,
it does not update (with the names, details etc) of those same files onto my ipod.
is this meant to be?
do i have to manually drag the "new" detailed music files again?
thanks for the helpOK so let me ask the basic question you failed to include in your post.
First question is how is your iPod set up with respect to syncing with iTunes? Is it set up to auto sync everything, auto sync only specific playlists, or is it set up to manually manage ?
Let's start with that and go from there.

How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please. Thanks
Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
iWork > Pages
contenant Templates > My Templates
comme il y a un dossier
iWork > Numbers
contenant Templates > My Templates
Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
puis lancez la recherche.
Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
Pour moi il est temps de dormir.
