I have many songs in my itunes library that were purchased by me that did not convert to my new email address when I moved. How can I get them to play?

You have to use the same old Apple ID and password.
NOTE: All content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

I am going through a divorce and she has the computer. I'm trying to tranfer my music to a new computer but for about 100 songs its asking for her authorization password that I dont have. How can I get these songs transfered or can I?

It sounds like two Apple accounts were used in the purchase of songs, yours and hers. Assuming she won't give you her password, you're kinda stuck. For $129 or so you can repurchase them all.
By the way, if she has the computer and it has your account info in it, you ought to change your password.

Do they play in iTunes?
Can you directly redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

How can I authorize my computer to play songs that were initially downloaded under a different email address and computer

How can I authorize my computer to play songs that were initially downloaded under a different Apple ID (email address) on a different computer?

You need to either authorize it from that Apple ID or delete those songs and buy them from your current one.

My iPhone 4 no longer plays some songs since iOS5 update, how can i get these songs playing again

So ever since I installed iOS5 onto my iPhone 4, some of my music wont play (not all, but some), what will happen is, while on shuffle, my music will play a song normally, then get to a song that it for some reason cannot play and either
a) plays another song, without changing the information about the song, then when the second song is finished playing under the first song's name, it gets to the second song's actual information and stops playing and moves to option b
b) does not play the song, does not skip the song, but has the play icon in the corner next to the battery, but it doesn't show any time going by on the progress bar of the song, but drains my battery
when i shake my iPhone after this (i.e. activates the automatic shuffle) if it happens to land on a song it can play, it skips to the next song.
It is incredibly inconvienient, and i understand that a new operating systems do have bugs, but I would like to be able to fix it as soon as possible
thanks for the help

I found a solution recently, (and well, this is the only apple product I own, so i didn't think to post it) basically what you do is follows
when your iphone is plugged in and you have itunes open, go to the phone page, then to the music page, select sync with library, but then select certain playlists. After that select none of the playlists (removing the music from your phone) and sync, then sync again with the playlists you want selected, and voila! Takes an hour or 2, but you can do it in the background of whatever else you are doing.
Cheers

I have songs appearing as movies on my iTunes - how can I get these songs to appear as songs and not movies?

Please help!
I have random songs that are appearing in my list of movies. I have tried deleting them and then redownloading them from the cloud to get them back into songs. I am successful after redownloading, BUT
...once I close out iTunes and then reenter iTunes, the songs are reappearing as movies.
PLEASE HELP! This is crazy.
Thanks!
-Zach

I had exactly the same problem. Check that the tracks still appear in your iTunes folder under Music (they should if you've re-downloaded them from the cloud). Next, look in your Movies folder and the songs might appear as individual folders. Delete those folders, empty your trash and then delete the tracks from the Movies tab in iTunes.
Hope this helps.

All my photo's are on iCloud from an old iphone which I no longer have. How can I get these on my new iPad?

Hi, could someone help me recover my photo's please.
I took all the pic's of my kids using a works iPhone and uploaded them using photo stream. I am no longer with that company and don't have access to the phone. I can see the backup file in iCloud, but when I switch photo stream on with my new iPad, the pictures aren't downloading to it.
How do I do this please.
Thanks

Hi...
Photo Stream is a syncing service, not a storage service, so if your company deleted the photos from the phone they would also delete from the stream.
Photos are only available for 30 days, after which they "roll off" and are deleted. The backup file that you can see is not the Photo Stream, as this does not count towards your storage space.

When I call my friends a different persons picture shows up from the Facebook linked contacts. How do I get it to show my picture in there contacts?

I believe its the person who had this phone number before me. My friends that have Iphones and have there contacts linked from facebook my picture shows up as another persons. How can they fix that?

Stoed,
Let's get to the bottom of this iCloud backup issue. Have you ever had your Facebook contacts synced to your contact list? Did this issue begin after a software updage or downloading of an application? If you go to Settings>Facebook does it show you signed into your Facebook account there?

I recently downloaded a book and it will not open due to being incorrectly formatted. Even though I downloaded this FROM iTunes!!!! What is going on, I have the latest OS and iBook version....??????????

I recently downloaded a book "In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day" and iBooks tells me its incorrectly formatted even though I downloaded this from iTunes and have the latest version of the iBooks app. What is going on? I want a refund if this doesn't work. My other books open fine.

The Report a Problem link can also be found in iTunes/Store/View Account/Purchase History.
Before asking for a refund, also try deleting the book and redownloading it.
If you find that the iBookstore is does not meet your needs, you can try one of the others like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, or Sony.

In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

I have the current version of iTunes and when I plug my device in, the library says that I have songs on my device that are not showing up on my iPod touch. How do I get these songs on my device?

On iTunes, my library says that I have a lot of songs on my device that do not show up on my actual iPod touch. These songs disappeared from my iPod when I plugged it in, then they showed back up, but with a red square and circle, and now, after syncing and autofilling, they are gone again. How do I get these songs from my iTunes "ON MY DEVICE" library to my actual device?

SOLUTION: Some Music Won't Play After Upgrading Your iPhone To iOS7
Red square in red circle cannot play songs
My iPod isn't playing certain songs. Help?

How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes? The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.
