I can plug my iphone into my work computer and see everyting on it but i can't copy all my music onto my work computer or put new music from my workcomputer onto my iphone. My Itunes on my work computer is authorized as well. HELP pleae! Thanks!

If you bought your music from iTunes, right click on your iPod in the device list and choose "transfer purchases".
For all music you did not buy via the iTunes store, you'll have to use 3rd party software like Touchcopy for example.

Old computer crashed, have new computer, how to tranfer. Already have files on new computer, but wont show up in iTunes

I guess my title is too long, sorry. Old computer crashed, have new computer, already tranfered songs to new computer, but can't get them to show up in ITunes. I have 2007 version of IPod, only a few songs on, and won't even transfer those.

Finally figured it out. Just had to store all my songs/ folders in the iTunes folder. My old computer folder set up threw me off, had duplicate folders of songs that messed everything up when copied over.
Thanks for your help though, appreciate it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the link to download Acrobat 9 Standard? I found the link to download 9 Pro but not standard. Old computer crashed and new computer does not have a CDR/DVD rom drive.

Hi,
Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.
Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
Thank You

Old Computer Crashed - Got New One; What to do about music?

My old computer crashed and we purchased a new one (the old system was XP and the new is VISTA), can I install my music from my IPOD on my new computer by using a FLASH drive? I was told that I could but am not sure of the steps? Could someone please advise?

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
One final thing, if your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7.3 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that way you can continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed above your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever retrieval method you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Computer Crashed. iTunes Library Lost. How can I get it back from my iPhone

I have 522 Purchased songs on my iPhone. My computer recently crashed and we got a new hard drive, so all settings were refreshed on my computer. I plugged in my iPhone to transfer my Purchases back to my iTunes library. Again, 522 Purchased songs, and only 303 of them copied. I tried transferring them again, however it didn't transfer anything. Is there anyway I can get the songs back from my iPhone?
Note: My iPhone is on automatic update, and if I try switching it to manual I'm prompted that in order for the change to occur I must Erase and Sync my iPhone which would completely defeat the purpose of my trying to get my music back on my computer so I can put new songs on my iPhone as well.

Purchased songs should be able to be copied back, but if not, maybe you need use other tools. This is a frequently asked question, you can have a look of below answer.

Computer crashed had to reinstall windows how do i get my music off iphone back on to itunes

after reinstalling windows obviously itunes is empty and my songs are on iphone. any surgestions?

The 5 authorized COMPUTERS has NOTHING to do with ipods.
Itunes will allow up to 5 computers to be authorized to play pre-itunes+ music. When you reach the limit of 5 COMPUTERS, then you can de-authorize them all, then authorize the active ones again.
You can sync as many ipods as you like to a computer.
In the future, it is a good idea to de-authorize before re-installing your os or getting rid of a computer.

My macbook air (newest one) won't let me get tickets through ticket master.

Hi my macbook air is great for everything excpet there is a message at the bottom of ticketmaster saying
down below "You are forbidden from accessing this site or purchasing tickets using automated software". Does this mean I can't ever use my laptop to get tickets, I am confused. Please reply whenerver you can, Would love help as soon as possible
Thank You

Were I so inclined, I could write a program that would log onto the TicketMaster site and automatically purchase tickets repeatedly using different accounts so I could later scalp them. That is what the notice refers to, not to you using Safari or FireFox to buy your tickets. That is what the site is for.

The music sync is one wa - copmputer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer. Use your backup to put everything back

Restore the songs from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

HT1420 My old computer crashed so I bought this new one. I can't get my prevouis purchases and my new purchases will not let me add to my IPODs. I deauthorized all computers and just authourzed ths one. my new one. How do I get my music back and how do I

My old computer crashed andI bought a new one. When I went to Itunes I deauthorized all computers and then authorized my new one but I can not get my prevous purchases and I can not add my new purchases to my IPods with out it deleting all the music. How can I transfer everything that was on the old computer to this new one?

Whether you can redownload previous purchases depends upon the type of item (audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), what country that you are in (music, films, TV shows can't be redownloaded in all countries), and whether the item is still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their items) - what you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
Or you should be able to copy purchases back from your iPod via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option (if the drop-down menus aren't showing then control-B should get them to show).
If you have music from other sources on your iPod (e.g. copied from CDs) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Or do you have a copy of them anywhere else e.g. on your backup of your downloads/library that you can copy them onto your new computer from ?

Hello cheech07,
The following article contains directions that can help get you back on track with iTunes. I'd recommend picking up at 'Part 5' of the 'External drive' section.

This is not possible. If the old computer is unusable the only option is "deauthorize all".

Old Computer Crashed - Can't Update Songs To iPod On New One

My old computer crashed, I installed itunes on my new one and purchased some songs. Now I can't get the new songs to copy to my ipod. Itunes recognizes the ipod when I plug it in, and "updating ipod" flashes quickly but the songs don't copy. Also when I plug in the ipod the songs on it come up but I can't play them from itunes. Can anyone help me out?

First try resetting the ipod by holding the center and menu button for 6 to 10 sec.
If that doesn't work, go here and install the latest ipod updater http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Once thats done goto start>all programs>ipod>ipod updater 06-28-2006 and restore the ipod. Restore will wipe the ipod clean of everything and then you use iTUnes to load it back up. More on restore can be read here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983

My old computer crashed, my new one won't let me get my music off my iphone or put new music on it.
