My old computer crashed and I lost my old library of recorded CD's and new music. I downloaded iTunes again and found my old account info. How do I add a new CD without deleting all of my music on my iPod?
My old Computer crashed and I lost my old library of recorded CD's and tunes. iTunes says I must delete everything off my iPod in order to add a new CD. It also said I already have an account which I was able to locate. I don't know how to get into my old account. I think that would solve everything. I have Windows XP. I'd appreciate any input.
No.
All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
The same applies here.

I would like to be able to download software updates on my Iphone and Ipad at work without erasing my music. My home computer/Itunes has all of my music saved. is there a way to use two computers w/o erasing information? Or can i transfer the music from my Iphone to my work computer?
- An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
- Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music. -
Good Day,
Got an automatic upgrade notification to Itunes 11.1.4 Downloaded OK, but then got an R6304 Runtime error when it completed.
I tried starting from the screen shortcut and got the same message. I tried downloading from scratch from the Apple site, and got
the same errors.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,Follow the instructions of tt2 in: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5822086

I just bought a new computer and set it up. Downloaded itunes again and logged in; however, all of my old content is not there. I just created a new playlist and want to sinq it to my phone but get a message saying it will delete all of my old songs. Please help
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

Somehow I created a live copy of "Finder" on my desktop. It is titled "iPhoto Library", and has live copies of all of my files/photos/music. How can I make it go away without deleting all of my content?
Either you moved or copied your iPhoto library folder to the Desktop.
Quit iPhoto. Rename the folder on your Desktop to something else, such as "foo." Launch iPhoto. If you still see all your photos, you can delete "foo."
If you don't see your photos, quit iPhoto, rename "foo" to "iPhoto Library," and put it in your Pictures folder. Try iPhoto again. -

Having troble to open my iTunes, all I get on my screen is half of it is black. I want to know if I delete iTunes after i have saved my playlits can I download iTunes agin and add my playlist, Thanks for your help, Upthefloor24
Well you first download the latest version of iTunes, after installing it restart the computer once and then try opening it!
Does this fix your issue? -
Laptop has been broken.. so I need to download Itunes on a new computer so I can sync media, back up apps etc and also update software... Is it as simple as that.. download Itunes then re register my phone?
You also need to restore the itunes library, along with any other relevant data from the backup you made of your old computer before it died.
You can NOT sync music TO the computer from the iPhone unless it is music that was purchased from iTunes.
You may want to take a look at More Like This, to the right, as this subject comes up on very nearly a daily basis and has been addressed extensively here. -
My iTunes operating files were somehow corrupted on my pc. Is there a way to download iTunes again while preserving my playlists?
I cannot open iTunes at all right now.
My playlists are intact on my iPod.
ThanksHi, InsaneCharlie.
Thanks for the question. I see you have uninstalled iTunes and want this program back. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes if present and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes. If none of your data was modified in the iTunes media folder, then your data should be present upon installation.

If you receive any errors when uninstalling any components of iTunes, try the steps in the article below for each component that gives you an error.

When I try to sync my iTunes with my Ipad now the alert comes up that I am already synced with another computer and I have to restore and sync my iPad if I want to continue. I have already lost alot of music that I had purchased and I don't want to lose anymore.
Was your iPod associated with a different mac or pc previously is all. And was it backed up or sync'd on this mac with iTunes previously.

I need to know if i just downloaded itunes to my new computer and synced it with my ipod touch if all me songs would transfer over?
No, they won't transfer over, however, there are third party PC/Mac programs which will transfer the content of your iPod to your computer. Just do a Google search on this topic and you will find them (e.g. senuti)

Hello,
My vi is gathering data from a piece of machinery. At varrious points durring the process, my vi must create printable reports. I am using the report generation tool kit to do this. What I want to do is for every report generated durring the run, add it as a new worksheet in an Excell workbook. My excell template works fine for the initial master report and I can add new data to new worksheets. What I am having a problem figuring out is how do I add the new data to a new worksheet using an excel template? I have 5 different reports that need to be generated at different times with some more often than others. I would like all these reports to be in the
same master excel file. Thanks in advance

Gregory Osenbach, CLA
FlukeHi Greg,
There is no built-in support in LabVIEW to add a new worksheet to an existing Excel report simply because this functionality does not exist in the Excel application itself.
My suggestion would be to open up the template you wish to use for the new worksheet. Copy the cells from the template and paste them into your new worksheet that you've created. Then close the original template and you have another copy of the template in which you can populate with data values.
I have attached an example program of how to Copy and Paste a Cell in Microsoft 97 Using ActiveX in LabVIEW to this post. Hope this helps!
