Hi gher8ald!
You always have the option of creating a backup directly from your phone using iCloud, more information on which can be found here:
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519
Also, all music and app purchases made through the iTunes Store are always accessible and re-downloadable through your past purchases history on your iTunes Store account. More information about that can be found in this link:

*** Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes ***

* Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes *
I bought my iPod 30G when it first came out back in the day. With the protective case it looks like a Walkman, if you know what that is. The new ones are half the thickness of my old skool one. lol!
Anyway, years ago I accidently uploaded a virus in both my PC and laptop. Yeah, real *******. Well, the person who restored my computers couldn't save my music. I still have the iPod but my library on iTunes is gone. If I try to update my iPod in either computer it will erase every song I have on it and only upload the songs/album I'm trying to add. I'm told that this is something Apple did to prevent file sharing, blah, blah, blah...
Does anyone know a way around it? I keep buying CDs just not able to load them into my iPod thru iTunes.

Hello yourantihero,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

Need help getting music purchased with one apple id to my new phone that has a new apple id

I used to have an ipod nano under one apple id. I stopped using the nano and let my daughter use that apple id when she purchased an ipod touch. I recently got an iphone and would like my music library on my phone. I created a new apple id for my phone because when I used the old one one the phone it created problems with my daughter's ipod touch. Is there any way to get my music onto my phone without making my daughter create a new id and taking back my old one. . . like opening up itunes and saving the music files to my computer's hard drive and then somehow importing them to my phone? I'm grasping at straws here. Any ideas are appreciated.
Robyn

Thank you thank you thank you!!! Here's what I got to work (for anyone else who might come across this post and have the same problem I did):
I saved the itunes music library (which contained all of the songs from my nano/old apple id) from my daughter's computer to a thumb drive and plugged it into my computer. I opened up the thumb drive on my computer. I dragged the music library located in the thumb drive to the itunes icon on my desktop. I logged into itunes on my computer under my new apple id. The songs showed up in the itunes library but not on the list of music or purchases located underneath my device name. When I clicked on my device name to try and sync the music, my device name disappeared. So I re-plugged in my device/phone and instead of clicking on the device name, I used shift and down arrow to highlight all of the songs in the music library and then I used my mouse to drag the blue highlighted area over to the word "music" located under my device name. They immediately started syncing with my phone I doublechecked my phone and they are all there!
Thank you, Lawrence for your helpful ideas.

..I Need Help Putting Music On My iPod..

ok.. For Some Reason.. All Of A Sudden When I Connect My iPod To My Computer To Put Songs On It.. A Message Comes Up Sayin..
"Songs On The iPod "my name iPod" Cannot Be Synced Because All Of The Playlists For Syncing No Longer Exist"..
I Have NOOOO Idea What That Means But Its Took All The Songs Off My iPod.. But There Still On iTunes But Wont Go On The iPod Cussa That Reason ^^..
Help Please

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection

Need help adding music to Imovie.

I've been working on a slide show in Imovie and importing music I've purchased at Itunes. I find some of the songs need to be shortened to work with the amount of pictures I have. What I did was purchase a song at Itunes, burned this song to a CD, then saved it back to my hard disk to work on it in Jasmine- an audio editing program. I was told this was the way to do it in the Itunes discussion group. When I save it out of Jasmine after shortening it, I saved it as an AIFF file. I then tried to bring it into Imovie, but the program doesn't seem to allow me to do it. Am I going about this all wrong? Is the a simpler way to do this?
Dick Skover

Hi!
Jasmine- an audio editing program. I was told this was the way to do it in the Itunes discussion group.
I am sure that everyone in the itunes discussion group gives very good advice. However, have you tried simply importing the burned song to imovie and
i then
editing it by splitting and deleting or by direct trimming?

Texts appeared one time but no longer. Please help! Need for Wed.!!!!

HT204382 Need help uploading musics from PC to Mac.

Hello there,
i have old musics from my PC music folder (.wma files) that i would like to upload into my Mac. is there a free driiver/application that i can use to make the musics play in my Mac? I really dont want to buy a new product but i will if i have to. Please let me know if you can help,

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you just drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
Note: When changing from automatic to manual, check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. "Don't" uncheck Sync Music in the Music tab, it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting, if you uncheck it without setting the iPod to manual first you'll erase all the songs from your iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

Need Help transferring music

My husband has the iPod and I have an iPod mini, he has several songs on his iPod, which when i plug his in shows under his name, but they don't show under the library. i need to know how i can copy the songs from his iPod to mine, when they aren't in the general library? he downloaded the music from a friends computer. HELP!!!

If I am following this correctly have purchased music with two different accounts and want to exchange music between them.
You cant. Even if you could copy them you can not play them. All the music purchased though the ITMS is encrypted and can only be played on Apple's iTunes software or Apple iPods that have been activated by that account.
Basically you are assumed to be a theif by default and are locked out of the music you buy. Then you are only allowed to listen to it under specific circumstances.
You can burn the music to CD and then rip it to MP3 files. Then it is unrestricted, however you end up with lower quality music than you paid for, you lose the cover art, and the music file meta data.
Be aware that the RIPPING from CD method violates the user agreement with Apple. If they find out they can cancel you account.

TS4062 My original computer crashed need help trasnfering music

My orginal computer crashed and I bought a new computer and downloaded itunes i lost most of my music (no problem I just reloaded it from the cds) but now I can not get the music to sync like it did before. Could it be due to me trying to back up my info on the cloud?

NEWBIE: Need Help Sending Music Files

Everytime I try to send even a small music file (300 KB)... I get a "Message content exceeds size limit"
Do I need to change my settings someplace?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
MJ

Unfortunately Patsfan, You cannot do anything to change this setting!
This is a limitation that was set by your phone services provider network!
MMS message are to only be allow to be sent over their network if the size is "LESS" than 300kb, you might be able to get away with "300kb exactly" but still it has to be within that size!
If you notice when you are in video mode on your phone and go to options it gives you two "video formats" to choose from
1 = normal mode
2 = mms mode
If you choose the first mode, you can record videos for as long as you want, granted you have a memory card that has the available space. But you most likely wont be able to send those videos using mms because they probably have gone over the 300kb size limitation for sending via MMS.
If you choose the second mode, the videos that you record will stop at about 40-50 seconds or before the video size goes over 300kb. And thats just the way it is. This mode assures that all your videos will be under 300kb, and in a format that can be sent by mms GUARUNTEED.
The only work around for this are mainly two things:
1 - Send the video by email and not MMS.
or
2 - find some third party software that will allow you to work around these size limitations.
Sorry I dont know any off hand.
But I hope this helps out!

Need help moving music collection from external hard drive to Macbook Pro

     I just bought a Macbook Pro today after my Windows desktop was bricked a few weeks ago. Luckily, I didn't lose the most important files on my pc, my music, because it was all on my Zune, as well. So, I borrowed an external hard drive, copied all of the music from my zune onto a friend's pc, and then copied it again from their pc to the external. Finally, I just plugged the external into my new mac, copied the folder within it holding my music, and hit "paste item" in the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder. Initially, everything seemed to work perfectly, however, after transferring a little over 7 of my 54gb of music, an error message appeared saying that the operation was ending because it could not transfer all files.
     I then tried playing a file off of the hard drive, a wma, and received a prompt that the file was incompatible with Quicktime player, the default for no apparent reason. I tried then opening it with iTunes, and nothing happened, as far as I could see. Naturally, my next step was to google how one would transfer wma files to a mac, and, to make matters even more confusing, all of the results seemed to tell me that iTunes should automatically convert wma files to mp3, which does not seem to be happening in my case.
     I'm still not sure why this isn't working, as I'm sure more than 7gb of my music collection is non-wma, so that doesn't even seem to be the sole issue. Any help with importing my collection would be hugely appreciated, as I'm enjoying my mac so far, but will have to return it if I can't get music on here.
     Thanks.

One problem is that iTunes for Mac can't handle WMA files, iTunes for Windows will convert them, but not iTunes for Mac. When you add unprotected WMA files to your iTunes library (Windows only), iTunes converts them to new files that iTunes can play, based on your import settings. See if you can use your friend's PC to do this. If the borrowed PC has iTunes, create an alternate iTunes library so you don't mess up your friend's library.

I need help transferring music from old PC to iPhone

Ok...I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but I have tried everything and my husband is no longer amused!
His iTunes account was created many years ago with an iPod Nano. I don't even remember which computer I had at the time and do not think I still have the original. The majority of his music is ripped from CD's. When Verizon finally got the iPhone, he got one immediately. I remember having to download the Pod to PC software at some point to move music from the iPod to a new computer. For some reason, I think the original crashed? (I don't know if this is relevant) Anyway, I think it was easy to originally put the music on the new phone.
At some point, however, it was lost from the phone. And, then that phone was dropped and the glass broken. He bought another from a friend. The current one has only the purchased music that is in his iCloud account.
Now, this is my issue. I have an old Toshiba Laptop that appears to have all of the music in the iTunes library. However, when I plug in the iPhone (which is a 4 by the way, but has been updated) it does not even recognize that it's plugged in. and, nothing I can do seems to allow me to update iTunes to a more current version. I'm sure this is the computer itself as it is barely hanging on. (and never used!)
I also believe that the old iPhone still has the music on it, but I can't be sure as the screen is so badly cracked that I can't access it.
So: two questions: Can I some how get the files off of the old computer and transfer them to the iPad and then push them to the phone? Say, with a flash drive or drop box or iCloud?
OR: should I just take the old phone and plug it into my computer (a Macbook Pro)... but if this is the way to do it... how exactly do I have two iTunes accounts and libraries on one computer? I'm sure this is going to be the most suggested option, but honestly, I would prefer to not do it this way if there is another option.
Any help that you can offer will be so very appreciated as I have wasted a lot of time trying to figure this all out!

st double checked and all of the folders are in the new computer. I can see the whole library in iTunes on the new computer but when you click on a song, it states that "The original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?

Need help saving a rendered video in Premiere Elements 13...

I have a rendered video that I am ready to save to my computer. The last Premiere Elements program I had was 1.0 lol. In 1.0, I would select to export the video as .avi and use that to burn to a dvd. In Premiere Elements 13, "export" is grayed out. What it looks like I need to do now is Publish the rendered video, but I don't know what to select to save it to my computer for future burning to a Blue Ray Disc. I plan on using Nero to burn the video to BD. Any help would be appreciated.

AndyD74
File Menu/Export/Movie is last seen in Premiere Elements 7. Now File Menu/Export/Title remains.
Your export opportunities for Premiere Elements 13/13.1 are in the Publish+Share area of the program. Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates? If not, consider doing so.
What are the properties of your source media on the Timeline that is destined for Nero for your burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
Have you considered taking your Timeline directly to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc in Premiere Elements 13/13.1 using Publish+Share/Disc/Blu-ray?
Depending on your reply to the above, you could explore for your file....
Publish+Share

AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p___
