Podcasts Not "Listened To" Anymore on New Computer

I had a complete hard drive failure recently and, long story short, now have a fresh install of Windows on a blank primary drive. Luckily for me, I kept all of my media including my iTunes folder on an unaffected secondary drive.
I listen to a lot of podcasts, and usually when I start a podcast I go back and listen too ALL of the episodes... which means I am not always current on my podcasts and iTunes being able to keep track of which episodes are listened to and which aren't is a fairly important feature to me. That being said, when I reloaded my iTunes today it loaded in all of my podcasts and music with no issues but all of the episodes are marked as unlistened. All 6,600+ of them.
Does anyone know any way to get play counts/listened to information back? I have a few random files I managed to save from my files before my drive became unsalvageable... if anyone knows which iTunes file keeps track of played/unplayed information I may be able to retrieve it.
How is this not a thing that is synced in iCloud yet? I thought for sure that would be the case by now and hadn't really worried about it until I realized it was going to be a problem today.
Any information or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

You can only register a product once.  That is not the same as activating a product, which is what you will use the serial number for.  As long as you have the serial number you should be able to download the installation files and use the serial number to activate.  You will have to figure out whether it is for CS5 or CS5.5 though.

If you get any message regarding your activations being used up you can contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

  • "homemade" tones not liked by iTunes on new computer

    I am not sure which forum this needs to go in, but since it is a question regarding ringtones downloaded to iTunes, I figured I would start here.
    So anyway, here’s my situation (Hang with me here - I am big on details, especially when it comes to help forums; my problem isn’t exactly
    stated until paragraphs 3-6): I downloaded 4 ringtones to my iTunes; One of them I purchased, and three others are sounds from DVDs that I used the QuickVoice2Text Pro app on my iPhone to record (I have an iPhone 5 version 6.1.3), upload to my computer using the QuickVoice PC software, and then did some tweaking through another software program in order to download them into iTunes and make them into ringtones. Since doing that, the Dell Inspiron with a Windows 7 OS that I had originally downloaded the 4 ringtones onto cracked its screen. Therefore, since I cannot live without my computer (even though the computer itself was not damaged, but it is 2 ½ years old and could crash at any moment), I went out and bought a new Lenovo with a Windows 8.1 OS.
    After installing iTunes version 11.3.0.54 for Windows on my new computer, I was able to transfer all of my music over from my old computer to my new one using my iPod Touch (Plus some help from my dad). While I was syncing my music, I also ended up synced all of the apps from both my iPhone and iPod touch (because of the settings on theiTunes on my Dell, my iPod Touch automatically downloaded all of the apps that I had backed up from both devices), which meant that my new iTunes had record that I had purchased the QV2TP app, which In turn meant that I could download the QVPC software onto my new computer (The software is downloaded by emailing a certain address, they check to make sure that you have the app installed and if so, they give you a link to install QVPC on windows and another to install it on mac).
    This is where my problem comes in: When I tried backing up my phone to my new computer, it transferred the ringtones over: The one that I purchased
    is fine, but the three that I had made all have a circle located to the left of the “check” box with an exclamation point in the middle. When I try and play them,
    I keep getting a pop-up that says “The Ringtone ‘……..’ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?” The
    first couple times, I clicked “yes,” and got nowhere. At first, I presumed that because I had initially uploaded the files to my Dell that they were on its hard
    drive and somehow were not brought over to my new computer (likely due to some security reason or whatnot); however, when I tried rerecording and re-uploading the tones-to-be, the QVPC software rejected them all and deleted them from its “server.”
    I have tried checking the box under “Tones” when my phone is connected and selected, but then it asks me if I want to delete all of my current tones off of my phone and sync over the ones that I have selected in my iTunes library under “Tones”, to which I have to say ‘No”. Yes, I do want to keep the one that I have selected; however, No, I do not want to delete the others that I already have on my phone that I created from my dell. I would like to create another ringtone from YouTube (which is not a problem); but am afraid that if I sync my tones to my phone that it will erase the other three that I made from DVD snippets that are NOT on YouTube.
    Is there any way that I can play my video in iTunes, record the snippets that I want from there, and then mess around with them? If not, do you know of any other way that I can get these tones back working into my iTunes?
    Again, sorry for all of the miscellaneous details at the beginning – just like to be thorough when explaining my situation to another.

    Did you import the tracks into iTunes again or replace the entire iTunes folder?
    Check out this Apple article -> iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    It provides the best way to move your music from one computer to another. It suggests consolidating the library, copying it to the thumb drive, moving the empty or smaller library to another folder, then copying the consolidated library from the thumb drive to the Music folder on the new computer.
    If you have two librarys with music and stuff in them, you'll want to import the smaller library into the larger one by dragging and dropping stuff onto the iTunes icon or going to File > Import.

    Hi Dalegu219,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iTunes library is on an external hard drive, but iTunes is not recognizing the library, first make sure the right library is selected.
    You can use these steps to make sure iTunes is opening the library on your external drive:
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    You should see one of these screens:
    Pick Choose Library and locate the library on your external hard drive.
    From:
    iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one - Apple Support
    If the right library is selected, but you do not see your songs, try re-creating the library using the instructions found here:
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Enhanced podcasts not working in iOS 5; new music app keeps crashing

    I just updated to iOS5 and regularly view enhanced podcasts.  after the update, I can no longer figure out how to view the enhanced version anymore.  I get the sound, but the image does not change.  Can anybody please help?
    on top of this the new music app in iOS5 keeps crashing and I have to restart the iPad all the time.

    Having the same issue except for the crashes. Everything seems to be working, just not the way it used to. The enhanced podcasts were great, the ones that I subscribed to changed the backgrounds often and linked to other sites and gave some great info. Now... Nothing!
    I have been reading that everyone is having issues with podcasts and the button to get new episodes, or whatever it was called, and this may just be another glitch. I sure wish they could fix it. I listen to podcasts more that I ever listened to music.

  • How may I prevent loss of Music - not from iTunes - on a new computer?

    The original iTunes Library I had for my iPod Touch was on a computer that has broken down.
    I am concerned about what I'm reading in the iTunes HELP files, because I see no way to prevent loss of my non-purchased (at least from iTunes) music when syncing with a newly authorized computer. I do not have all of the original CDs anymore for most of this music.
    I have just installed iTunes on this new computer & wish to save ALL current iPod Touch content into this new and empty iTunes Library!  What must I do to save my non-purshased content?
    I did just do a BACKUP of my iPod contents but have stopped there, not knowing if it will contain everything...  What now?
    THANKS!

    Well, I really do appreciate your input Kappy.  When it comes to doing backups, your info is correct and, in general, very helpful.  I am suspicious, however if it will actually have any bearing on the iTunes interaction and what iTunes will allow me to place into the new library.
    As for iTunes and what it will allow - or not allow, I'm not sure that the backup will allow me to slip it into the library per se.  I thinking that it's an iTunes issue instead of a backup issue, but maybe not...
    If I had any other model than a Touch, I believe I could use the iPod as a hard drive and transfer accordingly, but having a Touch, I do think my original question remains unanswered.
    Thanks again!

  • IPod Touch will not sync with iTunes on new computer

    I recently got a new computer (Dell to HP, which shouldn't make any difference). I downloaded iTunes on the new computer and was able to get all my music, tv shows, and movies onto my new computer using a Flash Drive.
    I have contacted iTunes help twice now and they have basically given me nothing to work with. I have all the updated software (2.2.1 or so), and I have restore my iPod Touch about 3 times because I was told this would work.
    When I try to sync my iPod Touch, it tells me that it could not sync because certain songs "could not be found". I have every single one of my purchases and stuff from CDs on my iTunes and I just want this fixed so I can use my iPod Touch again.
    My iPod is now empty except for a few applications and pictures that, for some reason, were able to get past all that and can be synced. If anyone has had this problem, please please please help me. I am getting very close to ripping my hair out with frustration and/or throwing my iPod Touch out of the window.

    unless you do TWO (and I mean BOTH) things... 1) put the audio files in the same path as on the old laptop... and 2) copied over (or exported) library info, you will have to do something else... and all it is, is to tell the itunes to "add folder".
    Once you add the folder, just consolidate it.
    When I bought my new laptop, I had copied my music library and the extra account information. I restored the account info, but put my music in a different location (on a completely separate drive, which has saved me a few times since). So I had to change the preferences to point to the correct location, and it picked up ALL the songs.
    I've since done a recovery on my new laptop a few times... and unfortunately I didn't save a copy of the account info (my old laptop has "glitched" out since, and I have no access to that info either). So even though my music is still there, I have to tell iTunes to "add folder", even though I changed the preferences to use that same folder as its library.

  • Low battery ipod is not being read by my new computer

    I got a new computer recently and I hadn't thought of seeing if it could read my iPod or not. Today, I tried to charge it since it ran completely out of battery and I plugged it into my computer and nothing showed up. I read the pages on Windows not recognizing iPod, low battery, etc. but none of them has anything on Windows not reading the iPod software when the iPod's not working because there's no battery left.
    Please help me?
    iPod Nano (2nd Generation)   Windows XP Pro  

    The iPod will not be read by your computer if there is no battery power. Leaving it connected for a while (sometimes quite a long while!) usually cures this.
    However, sometimes if the battery gets completely discharged, simply connecting to a USB port on the computer doesn't supply enough power to "kick start" the charging process. In theory it should do, but yours seems to be a common problem.
    Do you have access to a wall charger?

  • My old computer crashed completly. I have a new computer now. It is a HP with internet 8 on it. I downloaded itunes but can not sync itunes to the new computer. Every time I try I get a warning that if i proceed then all my stuff on the phone will erased.

    I recently bought a new computer becouse my old computer crashed. Now I can not sync my itunes account. I get an error when I try. It says that itunes will erase my phone content and replace with what is on the phone. I do not want to lose all my stuff so what do I do?

    This is how it works.
    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Trying to get old printer (not on list) running on new computer

    New computer = Satellite L755-S5349, running on Windows 7, 64-bit.
    Printer = HP Color LaseJet 3600n (which doesn't appear on the computer's list of recognized drivers).
    HP Download web-site says their Vista version driver for the 3600 should work on this computer.
    I have downloaded that driver.
    When I plug in the USB connector, the computer seems to recognize the printer's existence, but puts it into the category of "Other Devices", not "Printers and Faxes";
    and, when I try to print a document, the computer seems to be trying to send it to a Fax (I don't have a Fax).
    In any case, it doesn't print and the document doesn't show up in the printing-monitor area.
    I'm thinking I may have done something wrong in designation which "port" I wanted it to go through; I don't recall seeing USB as an optio. As noted, I'm connecting the computer to printer via a USB cable - which has worked fine with 2 previous computers.
    As you may tell, I'm a real Newbie at this - pretty non-technical - so: 1) if it's something really "obvious" (to you), please don't flame me too bad; and 2), if you've got a solution, be prepared to walk me through everything in baby steps, with as little jargon as possible (assume no pre-knowledge about the innards/workings of a computer).
    Thanks

    This bit in particular:
    The file I downloaded from HP is called "HP Color Laserjet 3600 host based driver" version 61.082.61.41 dated 26 November 2008. It's 14.2 MB in size. Unzip it to the folder of your choice (e.g., C:\HP CLJ3600 Driver) then add the printer through Win 7's Devices and Printers. Point Windows to that folder (instead of a CD) and it should do the job.
    HP's printer group seems fond of stranding it's users, I've had to struggle to get a few older LaserJets to work in a few different installations. :-(

  • Messages app not syncing after migrating to new computer

    Scratching head tonight...
    Used the migration assistant to move my profile from my 2011 MBA to my new 2013 MBA
    Migration Assistant ran flawlessly (supposedly)
    After completing the process, rebooted the new MBA and logged in without issue -- loaded the Messages App and the historical data is there, but nothing new is showing up on the computer
    Messages sent are showing on my iPhone and are still showing in the old profile on the original MBA but not on the new MBA
    Obviously the data migrated over since the historicals are there, but why would the sync break and how can I fix it?
    Messages -> Preferences -> Accounts show the iMessage account enabled with all the appropriate addresses (phone number and icloud.com and me.com)
    I tried logging out and logging back in to Messages as well as the iCloud -- no joy...
    Suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I don't have a second computer that can also run  Mountain Lion so that I could test this.
    In normal circumstances if you remove the Apple ID from the iMessages account on the Mac then re-add that Apple ID you get a pop up on you iPhone and iPad when you open Messages that the computer (by Name) is using the Apple ID.
    The temptation with a new computer is to create an Admin account that ends up being based on your Name which in turn creates the name for the computer (See System Preferences > Sharing).
    I am not sure if issues can arise if both computers end up with the same name.

  • Backup of ITunes music will not download after transferred to new computer

    I am trying to move my music from my old Sony A190 to my new AR and the music will restore to the new system but when I try to sync I get a message telling me "Some of the files were not copied to the iPod because you are not authorized to play this music on this computer" ...this isn't the exact error message but it's close. How do I get my music onto my new computer?

    There is a site now posted in this forum where you can download iWork 8. After the download is complete, burn a copy of the application to a disk. Remove the old copy of iWork. Install new. So far, I have not been prompted to enter my activation code, nor has there been any notice about this being a Trial copy. Perhaps, somewhere, somehow, the program found the old activation code hidden in my HD. Anyway, it's all working.
    Thanks to all who responded.
