New macbook air wont download my songs from my iphone 4

my new macbook air will not let me download my music that i purchased on itunes with my iphone 4. When i connect my iPhone it downloads my pics but none of my songs the screen says scan media i push that button and nothing happens. How do i get my songs to download onto my mac itunes?

Make sure your Mac is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase the music in iTunes Store>Authorize This Computer.  Then connect your phone, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This should transfer your music, apps and other purchased media from your phone to your iTunes library.  It won't transfer music that was not purchased from the iTunes store.

    HI ..
    On the new MBAir, open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Photo Stream then reselect it then restart your Mac.

  • My ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?

    My old ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?
    When I linked it it used the name I had given the ipod so it seems strange that it won't synch even though it is definitely connected.

    See if this helps:

  • New Macbook Air - display issues after waking from sleep

    I have a 1 day old Macbook Air 13" (2013) --- when I wake the machine from sleep, the display shows horizontal / vertical bands for a couple of seconds before clearing up to show the desktop. Please see attached picture. This doesn't happen 100% of the time but I've been able to repeatedly replicate this at intervals. Does this seem like a hardware problem or an OS related issue? Thanks.

    Display driver fault from wakeup, or external disconnect occurrence.
    reset SMC and re verify
    SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    Since you just bought it, contact Apple about making an exchange within 14 days or repair after 2 week period.
    peace.

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    As the topic said:

    Why doesn't my computer download the songs from my iphone with clouds next to them?

    You can copy iTunes purchased songs over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, or have you tried going to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes and seeing if you can redownload them on your computer ?

  • NEW MACBOOK AIR WONT RECOGNISE AIRPORT

    I have a new MacBook Air - have spent 7 hours trying to get it to recognise and link to my AIRPORT and still no joy . I have my old MACBOOK PRO linked up, no problems ,and I have mirrored all the settings but  the new one  still cant find the AIRPORT and on the odd occasion that it does , it eventually times out .
    Have re-set the AIRPORT and done everything that the Apple Tech Man advised but nothing doing - feel like throwing the stupid thing out of the window .
    Also, it wont recognise my external hard drive so all the back ups that I have made, cant be transferred to my new machine.
    The whole point of having two machines was to make sure I was never left in a position like I was the other week with a broken hard drive and no way of runnimg my business but I have been unable to do any work for over two weeks - Apple Support non existant .
    So any ideas would be very welcome . Thanks

    As no one replied I would just say that I now know that you dont need McAfee security on a MAC - if you do , AIRPORT and your MacBook wont connect using AIRPORT TIME CAPSULE so dont let the store you buy your MAC from sell you MCAFEE  - its not needed

  • NEW MACBOOK AIR WONT RECOGNISE EXTERNAL HD NOW !

    Well, I am almost on the verge of giving up - not only will this new MACBOOK AIR not link to the AIRPORT it also wont open my external hard drive with all my back up data on it.
    I am in despair , I cant see the external hard drive in Disc Utilities , (its plugged into the mains ) and I am feeling  less than impressed with this new machine - nothing works on it at all  and I just cant recover anything from my back ups - we have the need for backing up drilled into us so why when I do everything I should, does this new machine not respond - the old one has no problems at all but I need to run a network now .
    Can anyone help at all ?

    KarryGee 
    tried to access my recovered HD on my old machine.........- and that data was transferred from a PC
    You didnt mention that initially, if the data on the HD came from a PC, then the HD is likely NTFS formatted and cannot be used with your Mac.
    Youll need another HD and format same in EXFAT for read/write from/to both PC and MAC, however if you plan on using time machine with your Mac, the drive will need to be formatted in Mac OSX ext. journlaed (HFS+).
    Please specify what your "older machine" is?
    You said---"but I have just tried to access my recovered HD on my old machine and I no longer can"
    if your older machine is a Mac, then it is likely that the WD software in conjunction with Mavericks has caused data corrupted (as in the links mentioned above).
    If your older machine IS a PC, then the HD has likely failed OR MORE likely the SATA bridge card has failed.
    You said---has completly ruined 7 years of work
    No, if the SATA bridge card failed (very common actually), then the HD is fine, see full info about that sort of failure here:
    Your dead external hard drive is likely fine! Great hope for your 'faulty' external HD

  • New Macbook Air wont recognise external HDD

    Hi, got a brand new Macbook Air with the latest OS (10.9.3), not recognising my Verbatim #53029 external HDD. The drive is still working fine on my old Mac Pro, and the USB is working fine on the Macbook Air. But when I connect the drive there's nothing.....nothing in Disk Utility either. Already contacted support and they're stumped.
    I know the Vertbatim drives have software and drivers pre-installed, I'm wondering If that has something to do with It.... I've looked at the Verbatim website and doesn't look like there are any new drivers or anything. Anyway It may just be one of those things i guess but very frustrating and means I'll need to fork out for yet ANOTHER hard disk, the bane of my existence....I thought solid state would help!

    OK forget It , the HD started to work spontaneously..... i guess 236 times is the charm

  • Brand new macbook air wont power up first time

    Just got my first Mac ever - Macbook Air 13.3.  It's been plugged in & charging for almost 4 hours.  Upon first plug-in, the light was green for maybe 2 to 3 seconds - then went amber.  No matter how many different outlets I used - same result.  I figured the unit needed to charge but it's been almost 4 hours and I'm anxious.  The light stays amber  I just spent 1400 bucks on a unit that I though would start up/be charged or at the very least somewhat charged upon opening.  Even my cheapo $750 Dell started up immediately out of the box.
    I've tried 4 different outlets - same results (green to amber).  Tried with and without the AC adapter - same results (green to amber) - currently it is hooked up with the AC adapter.  It just wont start.
    Are my expectations too high?  I've had this for less than 6 hours and I'm curious if I'm wasting my time continuing to wait.  NO where does it say "You will need to charge your new laptop for such and such hours" or "Your new laptop will not come charged" or "Your new laptop - when plugged in for the first time - will go from green to amber within a few seconds - this is normal." Just shows me a pic of the parts with no further information.  The instructions are so minimal, but that was okay - I figured I'd get all I needed once I booted up.  But it won't boot up!  <laughing!>
    Please help.

    The light changing from green to amber just indicates that it is charging.  Tap the power button in the top right of the keyboard one time.  If it still doesn't power up, try this procedure.
