New hard drive and some songs will not transfer from my list in iTunes

I recently had a new hard drive installed on my computer. After that I purchased a few new songs and plugged in iPod to sync. Then I received message that 27 songs I had previously purchased and had been on my iPod were "items in iTunes not copied to iPod because not authorized to play on this computer." These songs are no longer visible on iPod but 10 or 15 songs are still there that had been there before. How can I get the missing songs onto my iPod again?

Go to the "Store" menu in your iTunes main window, and drag down to "authorize computer". This lets iTunes know that you're new computer is okay to have access to all previously purchased music.
Hope this helps...

  • New Hard Drive and now CS3 will not open.

    I replaced the hard drive in my iMac Pro (tower). Running OS 10.7.5. The Adobe Creative Suite 3 will not open - Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign. I uninstalled and reinstalled and the error message is "Licensing for this product has stopped working."

  • I had to get a new hard drive and some of my pictures show up but when I go to click on them to open them there is a triangle with an exclamation mark.

    I had to get a new hard drive and some of my pictures show up but when I go to click on them to open them there is a triangle with an exclamation mark. Did I loose those pictures or is there a problem with iphoto

    How about the most likely occurance - something incorrect about how the iPhoto library was transfered
    What version of iPhoto '11 (9.4.3 is the latest)?
    exactly how was your iPhoto library transfered to your new hard drive
    This indicates that there is a problem in the iPhoto database - a possible solution to try is Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
    Why did you get a new hard drive? What kind of backup do you have?

  • New computer - songs will not transfer from IPOD

    Ok....I know that this is probably a common issue but I have a new computer running iTunes 7 and Windows Vista. I cannot seem to transfer my existing music files from my IPOD to my iTunes 7.0. I have attempted to drag and drop, use Consolidate Library, etc. I am not automatically syncing music because I do not want to lose my entire library of music on IPOD. Can someone help?

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 and Vista so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described for instance also it won't transfer playlists. However if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated that will let you transfer individual tracks then there are a number of third party utilities that will do what you want. You can use these to retrieve individual 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, check for Vista compatibility as they may not all have been updated yet. Some of these are free and some are commercial but generally they are not very expensive. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • Was advised to delete system configuration file from hard drive and now computer will not start - any help would be appreciated.

    Downloaded Yosemite and since then cannot connect to internet or bluetooth mouse - was advised to delete system configuration file from the hard drive and since then cannot start up computer. Any help would be appreciated - cheers.

    Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys down.  The result should be a display showing a revolving globe.  By following the instructions, you will be able to reinstall the original OSX.  Then you may reinstall Yosemite.
    A solid Internet connection will be required.

  • New hard drive and OSX install but not linked to my Apple ID

    My hard drive died on my MacBook Pro (2012) and so I had a new one put in. Before this they managed to save a back up of all my folders, files, pictures etc. They then re installed my OSX software (not my original as that was Lion, I think this one is Mountain Lion - it's version 10.8), and started up my computer to put my 'back up' of my folders etc onto the computer before returning it to me. However, by starting up the computer and going through the welcome section, they have logged in without my Apple ID and so my computer is not synced to that apple account. This computer is now not registered with my apple account. This means, my iLife is gone (iPhoto etc). How can I restart and have the computer linked with my Apple account. I need to be able to sync up to access my iLife, my previous purchases such as Pages, and sync my iPhone with the computer again.
    How can I fix this?

    'They" are Apple technicians or an AASP tech?  I had a similar situation where Mt. Lion was installed on my MBP, by a genius bar technician, which originally came with Lion.  The solution was to reinstall Lion.  Then to install Mt. Lion, I had to get a redemption code from Apple and then install it.  This then connected my ID with Mt. Lion.
    If you have purchased Mt. Lion, it should still be in your App store account.  If you have not purchased it, consider installing Mavericks instead (it is free).
    I suggest that you start the MBP with the OPTION-COMMAND-R keys down.  The display will show a revolving globe and proceed with the installation.  This connects with the Apple servers and installs the original OSX.  You will need a solid Internet connection.

  • TS1702 I have just updated my OS and now i have lost all my data and some apps will not reinstall from my computer.  Having to install from the cloud is slow as the band width is small here..  any advise

  • Some music will not transfer from itunes to ipod

    I noticed the other day that one album consisting of 5 songs that's in ITunes is not on my IPod Nano.. These are the only songs that I'm aware of.The songs play on Itunes, the box next to the songs is checked and syncing does nothing. They were on there at one time.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Locate these tracks in iTunes, right->click on them and choose Get Info from the menu.  When the window comes up, head over to Info tab and make sure there is no tick mark next to "part of a compilation."  Then if necessary sync the updated changes to your iPod.
    You can see how your iPod is cnofigured to sync your music from under its Music configuration tab in iTunes.

    Which computer? There is a label on the bottom.
    Exactly which hard drive is it? Give us the specific model so we can look it up.
    Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device.
    If you have restored the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media, that probably means you restored to a drive with the new advanced-format technology.

  • New hard drive and new Ipod importing

  • I updated itunes and now my songs will not sync from the computer to ipod

    I just updated my itunes software and my song will not transfer to the ipod. I tryed a new port but tha seems unlikly because itunes does reconize the ipod it just will not update the songs. I restarted the ipod that did not work so i updated the installed software and refreshed the ipod noe I have no songs because it wiped out the ones that were there from the old sync. I have tryed doing a manual update as apposed to the automatic update but that did not work either. I have tryed turning off my anti virus software but that did not work??? any ideas?

    Ive had the same problem and I restored my i-pod then when i hooked up the i-pod it said it was full and asked If I wanted it to select a few songs to put on, i clicked yes thinking It meant it would just put my selected songs on but then it put 675 songs out of the library on when i only have 67 checked. they play wether tehyre checked in the Library or not, is there any way to fix this?

  • Songs will not transfer

    I have songs in itunes playlist that have exclamation point next to it and these songs will not transfer onto my itouch but they did transfer onto my nano. Anyone know how I can get them onto my itouch?

    Hi,
    Right click and "Get Info" on these tracks, see what it says, it sounds like the file location has been changed or folder renamed etc. Therefore iTunes cannot locate them.
    Dud.

  • How to explain.  OK 1st all photos are visible in my iPhoto library; however, some are stored on hard drive and some are stored on external.  All can be viewed in itunes, but none on the external will sync to my iPad.  What's up with that.

    How to explain.  OK 1st all photos are visible in my iPhoto library; however, some are stored on hard drive and some are stored on external.  All can be marked or unmarked in itunes, but none of the photos stored on the external drive will sync to my iPad.  Anybody know what's up with that?

    What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization.  With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options.  If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast.  I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
    What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why?  How is this making it a better program?  I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was).  But to not give users the option to delete that list?  It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating.  I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature.  It smacks of rank incompetence.
    What improvement were they trying to make here anyway?  There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions.  Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
    And reverting to a previous version is no solution.  I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

  • Windows 7 Enterprise is not genuine after installing new hard-drive and cloning the old one

    I retired from my job as a university professor two years ago, and they let me keep my laptop computer, which is a Dell Latitude E4300 with Windows 7 Enterprise installed. I do not have any of the original disks for Windows. Recently, the hard-drive began
    to fail, so I replaced it with a new one, cloning the old hard-drive onto the new one. Soon after that, a popup window began appearing saying that this computer is not running genuine windows. One important consequence of this is that I can no longer use Windows
    Update, so I have concerns about security. If I go to the control panel under “System”, it says windows is activated and gives me the Product ID. I have talked to tech support at Microsoft, and they tell me something along the lines of the following: that
    the problem is the new hard-drive is not recognized as being licensed to use this copy of Windows, and that I should post a question on one of the forums asking this: How can I reinstall Windows 7 Enterprise on the new hard-drive? Any assistance will be much
    appreciated.
    PS I have no idea which forum this should go under, so pretty much just picked one randomly.

  • Will Time Machine with Leopard Sync With New Hard Drive and Snow Leopard?

    My computer is a 20" iMac that I bought in late 2008. The hard drive had trouble so Apple repaired with disk utility. Week later, more trouble so they did full hard drive erase. Data was backed up on Time Machine, 500GB also bought in 2008. After full hard drive erase, and reinstall of basic software, upon reboot, computer would power on then immediately off. It doesn't get past white screen. They advised a new hard drive install is needed.
    A computer friend can install a hard drive just fine for me. However, I do not have the Leopard install disc. He could do it with Snow Leopard but I am scared. I'm afraid because my Time Machine last backup was with Leopard, not snow Leopard. I do not have my application discs with me, they are in storage in another state. Thus, if upon adding replacing hard drive and installing Snow Leopard my computer won't be able to sync FILES and APPLICATIONS from Time Machine because its on Leopard I will have a problem.
    How can I either 1)Get a Leopard install disc and do that with the new hard drive install OR 2)make sure that a Snow Leopard install with new hard drive won't prevent my Time Machine from being able to install the saved FILES and APPLICATIONS if I don't have original APPLICATION (ie Aperture, Photoshop) with me? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    That Mac should have come with Leopard. If so, call AppleCare. They'll send you replacement discs for a nominal fee.
    Once this is sorted out, make a 8-10 GB partition on an external HD or your internal HD, and use the Restore tab of Disk Utility to copy the Install disc to that partition. Then you can boot and run from it instead of the physical disc. It will boot and run much faster, too.
    He could do it with Snow Leopard but I am scared.
    If he does, and doesn't provide a retail Snow Leopard disc, you must buy one ($29). It's a violation of the license to share software, and you'll need a SL disc to do things like restore a Snow Leopard backup, or the Snow Leopard Apple apps, or repair the internal HD.
    Your best bet is to stay with Leopard, at least until you have access to your 3rd-party software discs.
    What you can do, however, is borrow his Snow Leopard Install disc (assuming it's a white Retail disc, not a gray one that came with his Mac), and use it to do a full system restore from your backups. That's not a violation of the license, since you don't install or use OSX from that disc; you just use the Installer utility on it to restore the Leopard OSX and all your data from your backups.
