New PC, new itunes, and iphone. Having issues with pairing/authorization/library transfer

Hello all,
I recently got a new PC. Before unplugging the old one, I deauthorized it from itunes. I immediately authorized the new computer. I also have cloud syncing on (for all the good it's doing me)
(HATE the new itunes btw - I find the user interface SUPER confusing and none of the itunes articles use the new version for reference).
Anyway, I must have messed up the initial sync or something. For some reason it's recognizes all of my apps, and happily adding anything I download from the phone back onto the computer - but everything else is a mess. I had to recreate my podcast subscriptions (no biggie) but it won't let me sync my music library back and forth (nor my audio books). It only seems to want to let me erase my music library on the phone with the mostly empty one on the computer. It's not recognizing the playlists from my phone at all on the PC, and today I bought some new songs on the PC and it won't let me add them to those playlists.
I even tried "transferring" back....but it's still not letting me access playlists and music libary
Any suggestions would be MOST appreciated. I'm not particularly interested in losing my entire music library that's on my phone. If I had to lose anything I guess I'd prefer to lose the songs I bought today on the PC.

Copy your whole iTunes folder from the old computer to the same location on the new one. It is trying to erase the phone because the phone is synced to the library on the old computer and does not recognize the one on the new computer. You can transfer purchases from a phone to a computer but otherwise file transfer is one direction, computer to phone.

Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games.

Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.

Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
You can double check this yourself:
First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

I am using an early 2008 MacBook Pro and am having issues with it deleting text on its own (in word, emails, etc.). As I am typing it all of a sudden starts deleting and I can't stop it. What can I do?

I am using an early 2008 MacBook Pro and am having issues with it deleting text on its own (in word, emails, etc.). As I am typing it all of a sudden starts deleting and I can't stop it. This happened once before and it was due to a buldging battery pressing on the track pad. I checked the battery and it appears to be fine. What can I do?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Its a temporary fix and is still looking for the HP driver when i boot up. It also will not save in any print or postscript format. Does anyone know how to fix?
Currently use a Mac with the latest Mavericks 10.9.4

Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

Itunes and Iphone sync issues

Hi There,
So I have a slight problem and would be grateful if someone would shed some light as to how I can overcome this.
I have an iPhone 5 and iTunes for windows, however, I have not downloaded the current software for the iPhone 5 as I do no have any storage space for it. I have recently tried to update my iPhone's music playlist but the playlist I want to sync is not, however, my old music and playlists keep syncing instead, and it keeps adding albums.In my new playlist I have approx 200ish songs whereas my iTunes is syncing over 700ish (and I've made sure I have not clicked and synced my library- my library has over 1000 so not sure where its syncing 700) I have tried several times to fix this by;
switching off phone
closing iTunes and opening it again
creating a different playlist and re-syncing music
de-selecting albums and artists manually
de-selecting all music then syncing
created a different playlist
and none of the above have worked at all
It would be much appreciated if anyone has any advice or guidance as to how I can fix this, as I have new music I want to listen to, and with this new music I'll have more storage space!
Thanks in advance!

Hi R@chel,
It sounds as if you are having difficulty making sure your iPhone only gets the music you want. In order to do this, you need to manually manage the data that gets synced to your iPhone. This article explains how to do so -

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
Specifically -
Syncing manually
If you prefer not to automatically sync content to your device, you can set up manual syncing:
Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes.
Click the Devices button in the upper-right corner. (If you're viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner. The Devices button will appear.)
In the main iTunes browser window, select the Summary tab.
Select the option to Manually manage music and videos or Manually manage music. This will deselect the automatic sync settings for the Music, Movies, and TV Shows tabs.
Click Apply.
And -
After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
Select your device.
Click On this Device.
Choose Add to in the upper-right corner. If you drag a song, video, TV show, or movie while viewing the media in your iTunes library, a sidebar will show up on the right. You can drag your content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.

IPhone having issues with Proximity sensors

I just got my new 5S with iOS 7.1.1 and occasionally when i answer a call and put the phone close to my ear the screen lags. It turns off and then back on and will do it a couple times before either staying off or sometimes on during a call. Not sure if this is an issue with the sensor on my phone specifically or if it's a software issue. I haven't yet taken it to apple as it isn't an emergency and I have no time to go to an Apple store. Is anyone else having this problem?

Screen won't lock or go black when answering calls
Verify mute or speaker have not been activated, just prior to placing your ear over the receiver.
While on a call hold your hand over the top third of the display, and verify that the screen is locked or goes to sleep.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.

Weird iPhone 11, itunes and iPhone 4 behaviour with iPhone videos

I have a smart album in my iPhone 11 library of all the videos . THere are 65 videos in it. some were taken with my nikon cool pix L6, some with my Canon sx 210IS, a few with my iPhone 3g with apps that are allowed to take videos, and one in particular with my iPhone 4. now, when i sync my iPhone 4 with itunes, itunes only calculates there to be 53 videos in this smart album. whats worse it it actually syncs only one to the iPhone 4. thats the one that i took with the iPhone 4 itself. no other videos show up. no even if the original event containing it is synced. 'include videos' is checked. i unchecked photo sync and re synced them again like twice but the exact same problem re appears. any help?

i searched the forums. sorry, i should had before. i realised others are having similar issue but there doesn't seem to be any resolution.
so i guess this is a bug...

I have both a PC (work) and my new Macbook Air. I am having issues with opening files that I have saved on my USB Flash Drive. The files are not corrupted because it works on my PC perfectly. Could someone advise how to fix the issue?

Please help!!!

Yes, I have the MS Office software for MAC that I bought from the Apple Store.
This is the Error.
Excel Cannot Open this File.
The file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.
- I created these files on my MAC, but I have worked on it on my PC. But I can't reopen it on my MAC anymore.
Thanks All for the help.

MacBook (iTunes) and iPhone 5 Issues

This is not an actual question, though a complaint for Apple to know how dull their products can become over time. I've purchased my iPhone 5 (and then replaced it over the screen issues one year ago) and my MacBook Pro (13', late 2011, 2,8 Ghz) is just getting worse and worse in its overall performance (with Mavericks in particular).
One of my biggest complains is that music doesn't sync to my iPhone properly over WiFi. Since we live in 2014 for me it is very inconvenient to sync music via cable. Therefore I sync my music rarely (although I'd do it on the daily basis if not the issues I experienced so far) using a very inconvenient method of deleting all music from last sync and syncing the new music onto iPhone.
Macbook is another story. Since it was purchased three years ago I can't believe how such expensive laptop can't stand by its name. Everything became much more slower with Mavericks (start up of the system, app loading and etc.) Particularly iTunes is a nightmare - sometimes it can't see the device over the internet and always cancelling the sync when I'm uploading my music.
This is general complaint, not a question. I'm sorry for my english.

if this phone has never been jailbroken or hacked, try these steps as needed:
1. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
2. Get new SIM card from AT&T
3. Get new cable and charger from Apple
4. Restore iOS using iTunes, also restoring a backup
5. Restore iOS using iTunes as a new phone, without restoring a backup
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If restoring as new doesn't help, there's a hardware problem that needs evaluation by Apple or an Apple authorized service provider.

Bought a new computer, downloaded itunes and no longer have access to my library

I bought a new computer and when I downloaded itunes, my previous library was not there (I thought it was generated by log in not by computer?) I tried plugging my ipod in to see if I could transfer the music I have on the ipod to itunes library it won't let me, just asks if I want to sync and replace with empty library. how do I get my music from my ipod to my new computer?
Thanks

Your library will only be where you put it.
The ipod is not a backup device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

TS3297 Anybody else having issues connecting to the App Store after iOS 6.0 update? I am using an iPod 4th gen and am having issues with a blank screen on the App Store.

Having Issues with iTunes 10.5.3 and uninstalled. Cannot reinstall without upgrading to newest Snow Leopard? Using MacBook Pro running 10.5.8.

Running OS X Leopard 10.5.8 and was having issues with my version of iTunes 10.5.3 (freezing and getting rainbow spinny wheel, not allowing me to do anything, while importing music from a different folder into the iTunes). Anyway, so I uninstalled iTunes and went to download the newest version (10.7 i believe) and after downloading and attempting to install, i was alerted that I cannot install and run this application without having the newest version of OS X 10.6 i believe. So, what I'm ultimately trying to figure out is if I need to spend $130(that i do not have) on Amazon to get the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 then pay another $20 in the App Store to upgrade to Mountain Lion as well? I need to have iTunes on this laptop due to having an iPhone 4 that needs to be able to be synced on this computer. Bottom Line is, I don't have really have $150 to upgrade all this at the current moment just to get iTunes back on my system. Any suggestions or am I basically having to drop the $150 just to get iTunes back so I can sync my iPhone 4 again? Ugh, this *****, really wish i hadn't uninstalled that version of iTunes..HELP!!! thanks in advance..

Click here and install the software. If you decide to upgrade to 10.6 at some future point, phone the online Apple Store.
