My original computer died and I am now trying to import my ipod music on to my new computer. I got instructions to do a back up, but I can not select this becaust it is grey not black. Help please
My old computer crashed so the only place I have my music library is on my ipod. I am trying to copy my old music into my library in itunes but can't find instructions on the internet that work. I can not back up my device because back up shows up as a npt selectable item in the menu (grey not black). I can not copy my old libray over because the old computer crashed. Any suggestions?

My original computer that has my itunes account on it no longer works. I am trying to import my phones itunes settings into my new computer and it is not letting me and I don't want to loose all my photos and music, what do I do?
It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -
My previous computer crashed and I am now trying to set up my nano on a new computer.
My old computer crashed and I am now trying to setup my nano on a new computer. How do I get all my songs on to the ITunes library and not just the ones I bought through ITunes.
Hey I had the same problem and I searched everywhere to find someplace to save my music.
I don't think Apple will help the transfer of songs that weren't purchase through itunes.
So I downloaded Senuti which transferred all my songs easily to my new itunes library.
It's free for 30 days and it lets you transfer 1000 songs during that time.
Best of luck
Here's the website: <http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/> -
I am receiving email that I should verify my password for iCloud but I can't see the link that I should start. HELP please!!!!!!
You select the desired file (tick the square box on the left of the file name).
You click on the "share"/"send" icon (the envelope with the arrow that points up and to the right).
You are presented with the share/send dialog.
Here you select the "Send To" choice.
This is done by placing a tick in the box beside either "Public Link (create a public link for anyone to view)"
OR
"Personalizdd Link (send email invitations to individuals)"
NOTE: The second choice is only available if you have a subscription to Adobe Send service.
So, for a free "Files" account in Adobe's cloud you'd tick "Public Link".
At the bottom left you'll observe the "Create Link" button.
Click it.
You are presented with a new dialog that informs you that the Public Link has been generated and that link is provided in a field within the dialog.
You can copy the link to a text file for future copy-paste into a post to a forum or bulletin board or you can provide the link to otheres via an email.

When trying to import videos off of a CD I continually get error code -36 on one of the videos. How can I fix this?
Contact Apple and request a 10.4 or possibly a 10.5 distribution disk for this system, if you've not obtained that DVD disk from the seller.
Boot and use that distribution disk to wipe the hard disk via Disk Utility, and to then reinstall OS X.
Best to start with a fresh installation of OS X, as that'll provide the default environment and not something that's been customized and extended by the previous owner.
The last OS X version that was supported for most PowerMac G5 systems was 10.5.8, and that would be preferable — if your Mac supports that.
If you're not sure which Mac you have, then use the > About This Mac from the menu and request more information on the system. You're looking for a model number listed there, and that'd be something like PowerMac7,3 or PowerMac11,2 for a ~2005-vintage PowerMac system. Whatever model number you have can then be used to determine the general specs for the configuration, and what the last version of OS X that was supported for the system. -
My Computer Died and I wasn't able to dissassociate my Ipod from Itunes
So, the motherboard in my old toshiba fraged on me and I lost everything. Time passed and a couple years later, I find my ipod sitting in my file cabinet and think, "Hey, I should really start using this thing again." Much to my surprise, all of my songs were there, but when I tried to hook up to Itunes, the software tells me, "Hey, your Ipod is associated with another computer. Please disassociate it with that one first before using it with this one". It also gives me the option of erasing all of the songs and starting over (I have a good amount of purchaced songs on there) or add purchased songs to the ipod and have no access to the songs from my old computer. I also noticed that my username on the Ipod differs from the user name I have for Itunes (the user name on my Ipod doesn't exist in the Apple database).
How do I disassociate my Ipod with a version of Itunes that no longer exists?
Thanks
-ScottIt could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.
You should also check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.
See: Some songs don't show under artist on my iPod.
Once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names. -

Hi,
I am about to pull my hair out. My itunes account has been disabled............or at least that's what it says everytime I want to update my apps....I can't do it. Then it sends me to a useless web address www.apples.com/itunes/storesupport/forassistance it never helps me. I've changed my password, etc. But I can't get my apps updated or the "Apple" in the sky to fix it...I don't know where to go for customer service....Any suggestions?
Thanks
KathyI updated the software on my iphone4 tonight and ran into this same endless loop - "itunes terms & conditions have been changed" - go to itunes, aceept - back to the "T&C have been changed message" with no ability to do anything in the app store until I accepted the new terms.
While not a very direct solution, I was able to finally accept the terms in a way that seem to register with apple by making a purchase through iTunes on my computer. This forced me through updating my payment information and updating my iTunes software to the latest edition (which I had not yet taken the time to do). After doing both of these, iTunes took me through the terms & conditions on two separate pages, but ultimately allowed me to purchase my song. Once I completed these steps, it fixed the problem on my phone, so now I can update my apps and download new ones without running into that loop.
Hope this helps!!! -

I have done everything I can to fix everything defrag ectra even my wizz tec friend can't find itunes. So does anyone know what I can do? I'm a person who can't exsactly with music or my books which are on there. I would Put them on my Phone but my memorys full with documents from my writing. Please please help me out.

How do you import your music library to a new computer?
I have an iPod Nano (2nd gen). I have a mixture of purchased songs from iTunes, but also many personal tunes from my CD's. I have just bought a new computer. I was shocked to learn there is no easy way to move my existing library and playlists. How do I import my entire music library to the new computer. I have a large capacity flash drive.
If you network your two computers together, you can transfer the song files directly, without having to use a flash drive in between. You may also want to consider getting a backup drive. You can get lots of space for not so much money these days, and with an automatic backup system, it can really save your bacon if your computer goes down, which is an additional benefit to just transferring files from one computer to another.

Help what? You broke it... Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. A replacement phone will cost you $149.

My computer died and I had to buy another one. Now I can't sync my ipod classic. What is the deal with this? I added songs about three months ago and it was fine. Now it won't sync. It says it can't sync because there is a duplicate file.
There are server problems right now with iMessage effecting some users. See http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/.

I have an old ipod (it's the very thin oblong one in purple, the one before the one that does video) and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library. My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else. I now have an iPhone 5S and listen to music on that, so want to be able to listen to things from the old ipod too.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks very much
JaneApple normally does not get involved in handling lost objects like this. Since a real name is not installed it will be much more difficult.
You can try contacting Apple support at the US number, assume you are US going to BWI from the listing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and explain the situation and see if they offer any suggestions. -
Lost all my tabs when my computer died and now I can't get tham back
I forgot to plug in my computer while I was browsing Firefox and it died. I was not worried as this has happened before, but when I reopened Firefox and tried to restore my 53 tabs (I know I have a problem, I love tabs) I was unable to click restore previous tabs in History. I don't know what to do because these tabs were collected over a period of months. I tried to rename the systemstore.bak file to systemstore.js like many of the forums suggested, but it gives me a warning telling me that changing the file may make the info unusable and when I try to reopen Firefox there is nothing there. Once, in the past I found a forum that involved pasting a link into the browser and being able to do a system restore in some way to find your old tabs, but I can't find this old post. I just don't know what else to do now.
You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file.
