New Computer Difficulty With Itunes

I just got a new computer, and went to download the latest version of itunes. I'm not the greatest with this stuff but it won't let me run the setup for itunes saying that there isn't a legitimate digital signature? Do i need to disable my antivirus software to deal with this or is there something else I can do? I have my music ready to transfer to the new computer if only I could get iTunes to download!!
  Windows XP  

Disable any antivirus/security/pop up blockers and try to install it
Also if you still have access to the old PC, you can copy its iTunes Library file and dump it on the new PC so you will keep all your playlist, play counts, ratings and all

    Yes, you can!(:
    STEP 1: Open iTunes
    STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
    STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
    STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
    NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
    NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
    NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
    Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(:

  • I just got a new computer with Windows 7 and all my songs were transferred to my new computer along with itunes.  But I can't get it to work.  I also tried downloading Quicktime and couldn't get it to download.

    I just bought a new computer and had files transferred along with itunes to the new computer.  I can't get it to work.  It doesn't recognize the extensions for itunes.  I also tried downloading Quicktime and couldn't get it to download.

    I would start with:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • New computer - help with iTunes, please?!

    I got a new laptop earlier this summer. I had my iTunes, iTunes music (apps, TV shows, photos, etc), etc. transfered to this new laptop. I have also authorized this laptop. When I plug my iPod into the computer, it won't allow me to sync my iPod. It says I have items that were purchased on my iPod, and in my old iTunes library and this new computer is not autorized. It asks me to authorize it, so I click authorize it and everything, then it tells me the computer is already authorized. I tried de-authorizing it and re-authorizing it too. Still nothing.
    Thing is, I deleted the songs I don't want anymore (the songs it says I purchased on my iPod, on the old computer with the other iTunes), so I don't know why it isn't working. The songs are not in my library or anything. Basically, I can't update / sync my iPod right now. I am leaving for college this next week and would really like it if my iPod was updated, etc. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks a lot.

    Anyone know how to fix this? I have still lost 31 songs from my iPod because this new computer is still supposedly 'not authorized' even though it is. The songs are still in my iTunes library though.

  • New computer problems with itunes library

    I really hope someone can help me. I have purchased a new laptop as my old one died and when i have plugged in my iphone and none of my music is available in the library - I understand that all the files are stored on my old computer but is there anyway i can get my existing music into the new library that has been created?
    Hopefully that will make sense.
    Thanks

    iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod or iPhone to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.
    A selection of iPod/iPhone to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod or iPhone 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: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • TS3682 i had a iPhone 4 and then got a new computer, i installed iTunes but i couldnt sync with my iTunes it didnt see the iPhone, i got a new iPhone 5C and up dated it via iCloud and still my computer will no sync with the phone, again it fails to see it

    Hi
    I had a iPhone 4 and then got a new computer, I installed iTunes to it but my new computer refused to sync with my phone, i backed up my phone via icloud and purchased tracks etc from iTunes, but now i have a new iPhone 5C and I backed it up via the icloud, not all data was transfered, music etc.
    Again my computer will not sync with the new phone, it doesnt see the phone within my libary, doesn't give an option to do any thing with phone
    Can so one please let me know were Kim going wrong, I have authorized my computer to itunes I really don't know what to do now?

    Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
    Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
    To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

  • I got a new computer and now iTunes is telling me it can't sync with two computers

    I got a new computer and now iTunes is telling me it can't sync with two computers, it's telling me it will erase what's on my iPad and re-sync. Will I lose my iPad data that's on it?

    No - not at all. Look at that one app that I gave you the link for. That is supposed to transfer all of the iPad content to the new computer. I have no idea how much it costs, but it's worth a look. There are other out there as well. Google "apps to transfer iPad content to computer" or something to that effect. These apps claim to transfer everything.
    Several things to remember - you can still transfer all of the iTunesicon tent that you purchased by using the Transfer Purchases option in iTunes. Just remember to turn off auto syncing before you do it. You will also have to authorize your new computer to transfer the purchase if you haven't done so already. From the iTunes menu on your computer go to Store> Authorize this computer.
    Plus any apps or music that you have bought can be downloaded again at no charge with the cloud feature in the latest iPad iOS.
    EDIT - I see that you did transfer the purchases. Look at one of those apps that I described and they should be able to get you set up. You should also invest in an external hardrive for backing up all of your computer content ... don't want this to happen again!

  • Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to...

    Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to recognize our iPods (it doesn't even recognize them when they're plugged in).
    Hubby wiped my harddrive for me, so now I need to get everything back in proper places. I'm using windows XP and installed iTunes once again (I believe it's version 8). I also installed all of my iTunes songs. Now I need to know where to go from here. We have 3 iPods and I need to get them all synched once again. I know how to create different libraries for each of us, but I can't figure out how to get our songs back into our iTunes libraries. When I open iTunes and plug in an iPod, iTunes doesn't even show that an iPod is plugged in.
    What do I do now to get each of our iPods synched with our own libraries?
    TIA
    Brandy

    Thanks Zevoneer. The "Restart ipod service" worked and itunes is now recognizing my ipod! Hooray!
    Okay, now how do I synch all of our ipods with our individual libraries (I don't want all of my kids' songs and vice versa)? We each have hundreds of songs on our ipods that we don't want to lose.
    Thanks again!

  • I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes, but can't get the podcasts I downloaded after the transfer to sync to my nano

    I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes to it but now can't get podcasts downloaded after the transfer to sync with device.

    So you have these podcasts downloaded and stored in your iTunes library is that correct?  However, they will not sync with the device?  Are these video or audio podcasts?
    How is your Nano currently configured to sync podcasts?  You can check this by viewing the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes.  To view this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the Summary tab that now shows to the right.  Look for the Podcasts tab along the top and select it.  Here you can configure how and what Podcasts are synced.
    If you do happen to make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button to sync the updated changes to the Nano.

  • I recently bought a new computer and downloaded itunes but when i try to sync it, someone else's apple i.d. shows up and i don't know the password.  I try to authorize my computer but it still won't let me

    I recently bought a new computer and downloaded itunes onto it.  When i sync my ipod it prompts me to authorize my computer
    with the purchases that i've made, but when i try to do so, my apple i.d. is not what shows up and so my ipod won't sync any of my songs or apps.  I have no idea who's username i'm seeing and i've never seen it before.  That's the only thing that is stopping my ipod to sync, a password that isn't mine!! I am beyond frustrated and don't know what else to do, if someone can please help me i would be so appreciative you have no idea.  Thank you so much

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Connecting ipod to new computer and using itunes library

    Can anybody help. Iam ready to throw my ipod in the bin. I recently bought a new computer and downloaded itunes onto it. When I connect my ipod it keeps saying the ipod is linked to another itunes library and it displays a new itunes library on the computer now with none of my old songs, but they are still on my ipod itself. I do not have my old computer either.
    The new itunes library that comes up will let me download music onto it but wont let me sync it to the ipod so i cant put anymore tunes on it. Any ideas?

    Connect your iPod to your new computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. 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 or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from 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 and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible - Windows version only)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods 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.

    Hello Zuhaib,
    Sorry to hear that your iPhone is currently not recognized by iTunes.  I found an article with steps you can take when you experience an issue like this.  I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
