My computer crashed. I saved my music in cloud and external drives. Re-installed iTunes on computer. No playlists are listed. Will I lose them if I connect my iPod to the computer? Some of my playlists are work related. I NEED THEM! Don't want to lose them!
Was the ENTIRE iTunes folder copied from the computer to the External drive? If so, simply copy it back and everything in iTunes will be exactly as it was in iTunes.

Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.

since you may have started the 90 day window.
For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing. -

i connect my ipod to the computer, but itunes doesnt recognize it therefore i cant add files to my ipod, any solution ? ( the ipod display shows that it is connected )
Try force rebooting it, hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds until the apple boot logo comes up. If that doesn't work, try rebooting your computer.

My computer crashed. I had everything backed up on an external drive. I have a new computer. How do I get itunes back on my new computere from the external drive?
This question has to do with how to restore your computer drive if you backed up the computer to an external drive. Did you use backup software or did you just copy the data from the old computer to the new computer? If you just copied, then you need to just copy over the Music folder which should contain the iTunes folder.

I had my iTunes and library on my home computer. The computer crapped out along with the hard drive. I have my library on my iPod and want to put it on my new computer, but any time I connect the iPod to my home computer (and work computer for that matter), it only connects for about 5 seconds and then disconnects on its own. I go to look at the iPod as a hard drive and I have nothing but empty folders (contacts, calendar, recordings and something else), but nothing is in them.
1) How do I get my iPod to connect to my computer?
2) How do I get my iPod to connect to iTunes?
3) Why don't my music files on my iPod show up on my computer?
I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled iTunes. I have done the "trick" of hitting the 'Menu and Center' buttons at the same time unitl the Apple icon appears. I have tried going into Disk Mode. I don't know what to do now. The word "Resetting" scares me because this is where I have my 150 GB of music stored and I'd rather not have to upload my CD's again.............will resetting affect that? The word "Restore" is even scarier!!!
Help!i am using a cable connector like this one.. it works with audio when pluged into a stereo but not a TV.i am trying to display video from ipod, also from other apps.. i also want to know why it does not work.

so my ipod is not operating properly and im tryin to fix it and ive been to the genius bar twice now and when im there it seems like theyve gotten it to work but once i return home my ipod is unable to connect to itunes, the computer picks it up as a digital camera and i can not connect it to itunes... now honestly all i want to do is put some music on there, but the computer wont allow me to do that at all so any ideas?
- Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You can try disabling the camer notification
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
- Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed? That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod. -
when opening itunes i got the following message: "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes. please uninstall itunes, then install itunes again Error 2 (Windows Error 2)." if i do this will i lose my music library?
Hi texasslagle,
It sounds like you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows 7 PC, a frustrating situation I am sure.
There is an article that you may want to use to try to complete your install here -
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

If I move my music library to an external drive, am I going to loose my playlists
Hi,
I need to move my Music Library to an external hard drive. Am I going to loose my playlists?This User Tip by Terence Devlin describes options how to back up iPhoto libraries,
iPhoto and File Management
The simplest way is to copy the library to an external drive.
And sure, after testing the copy, you can delete selected events from your original library, then would your backup be no longer the backup, but your only copy of the deleted events. In that case you should use two backups, and preferably on different drives.
Also, do you know what to do, if I want to keep backing up newer, more recent photos I take into the same older library?
iPhoto does not support the merging of libraries. You would have to export the photos from th events and import them into your archive library. Or buy iPhoto Library Manager, that supports merging of Libraries.
Another way to keep your backup in sync with the original would be using clones of your disk as backup or TimeMachine. -
Can some one please help walk me through this?
Hi JimHess,
Yes, the files are still located in the same drive, the exact same place Lightroom put them (in Pictures in Library).
When I double-click on the catalog file, it opens up multiple folders with little white "document-looking" blank pages, and when I click on those, it open a dialog box that says "How do you want to open this type of a file (.Ircat)?" with a little box below that says "Look for an app in the store".
So I don't think my computer knows how to open them...I think I need to re-download Lightroom. I just want to make sure I'm not going to mess up the files. -

my pc computer crashed so I bought a new one and autorized it. Downloaded itunes, synced my ipad and it only copied some of my sngs and no apps. How can I download my ipad to my new computer
You can re-download your apps and ibooks purchases via your purchase history in iTunes on your computer (assuming that it's version 10.3+), and if you are in the USA then you can also re-download music I think - more info here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For music that you ripped from CDs or bought from a source other than iTunes then, assuming that you made/maintained one, you can copy them from your backup - and backups are relatively easy to maintain, so there is no reason not to have one (especially as content is occasionally removed from iTunes so isn't always available for re-download). Otherwise there may be third-party programs that can copy them off the iPad, but you can't do it via iTunes - this post from a year ago was about iPod/iPhone to computer utilities but some might work with the iPad : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11646661?messageID=11646661� .
If you've got content in other apps that you want to copy back to your computer then you might be able to do via the file sharing section at the bottom of the iPad's apps tab in iTunes, or they might have wifi transfer capability. -
Nothing happens when connecting iPod to the computer
I have also upgraded to iTunes 5.0, and now nothing happens when I try to connect my iPod to the computer. iTunes works fine; I can play music in iTunes, and no error messages. But my iPod doesn't show.... Any suggestions how I can solve this? Please?
hi Jane!
okay, here's another couple of troubleshooting documents:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
... but if you're still having trouble after this, it would be a good idea to post over in one of the "Connecting your ipod" forums, so we can get you some concentrated attention on your situation from the connection gurus.
it would help give context if you provided a reference link back to this thread. there's instructions on how to do that given here:

AACGAfter i-tunes quits, ipod says synching and then connected...
Your iPod is a shuffle? A shuffle has no screen, so if iTunes is not running because it unexpectedly quit, where are you seeing the iPod say "syncing" and "connected." Is it a nano?
If it's a nano (or an iPod with a screen), you can disregard the question about the LED "light." What appears on the screen is good (plus the Disk Utility and System Profiler results), because your iPod appears to be recognized properly by the computer. But there may be some data corruption on the iPod's storage that is causing iTunes to crash when it tries to do the initial sync.
If you don't have a problem with erasing what is currently on the iPod (because everything is in your iTunes library you can just resync it), you can try the following. Put the iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
(This assumes your iPod is not a shuffle, because there is no Disk Mode for a shuffle.)
If you can put the iPod into Disk Mode, connect it to the Mac. I don't think iTunes will start up automatically. Then run iTunes. If iTunes says something about "recovery" and prompts you to do a Restore, do the Restore. This will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. If the cause is data corruption and is not hardware-related, the problem may be resolved.
