Replacing iTunes content with iTunes Plus

I see on my iTunes account that I have many songs I purchased prior to DRM-free content, and these "upgradable" songs number about 300. This might make things easier, but when I purchase the "upgraded" version, will the new version of the song also appear in the playlists that the original version was placed in? Or will I have to manually put the new iTunes Plus version back into the playlists? That might not be worth the cost to upgrade if I have to go back and replace each song in every playlist that it appears in.

Your upgraded iTunes Plus music will replace the original purchases in your library. You will be given an option to delete the original files or move them to your desktop at time of download. However, in my experience, the new versions don't always make it to my playlists.

I synced my iPhone to my husband's computer and it wiped out his iTunes account replacing his content with the content of my iTunes account. Any idea how to fix this?

I synced my iPhone to my husband's computer not knowing that it would wipe out his iTunes account and replace his content with mine. Obviously, not good. Any ideas on how to fix this??

Syncing an iphone should have no effect at all on the content of the computer.
Are you saying the the itunes library on the computer was effected?

Can I share my iTunes content with my kids new iPod touch ?

Can I share my iTunes content with my kids new iPod touch ?

Also, you could sync your kids iPod Touch to your iTunes.

Sell media content with itunes store in Russia

Hello.
I have a question:
How can i sell myown uniq media content with itunes store in Russia, and what do i need to do this?
I've read a FAQ of selling indie music in itunes on American version of your website, but there is only an instruction about selling music in U.S. and Europe region - not for Russia.
Also i trying to find any faq on Russian Apple web site, but there is nothing.
Also i would to know what about Apple-approved aggregators and encoding houses in Russia?
Thank you!

Finally i got an answer from itunes store support about my question.
If somebody have the same questions as i, here i would write some text from the massage of apple support.
"I understand that you want add your own media content on iTunes Store. I know how eager you are to get the information. I will do everything possible to help you today.
To submit an application to have your own content added to the iTunes Store, please visit the iTunes Labels & Marketing page at:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/go/application/
Apple evaluates each application individually, so it may take longer than we'd like to get back to you. But don't worry - we will review your application and contact you if we are interested in adding your content to the iTunes Store."
Thats all that thay wrote to me.

How do i use itunes server with itunes match?

Hi all,
I am using itunes server on my synology NAS. On my desktop i've always used itunes with match. How can I combine the two? In other words, how can i use itunes match with itunes server?
thanx

I don't know if you've already solved it yourself, but I had this problem too. Try signing out of iTunes Store under 'Settings', then signing back in with JUST your iTunes user name, with no '.mac' or '.me' suffix. If, for example, your usual sign-in method is '[email protected]' try using 'joebloggs'.
Worked for me.

HT1386 This article seems to be based off of an older version of iTunes. With iTunes 11 I have no left side column. The screen shot is not what is on my computer with the latest version of iTunes.

This article seems to be based off of an older version of iTunes. With iTunes 11 I have no left side column. The screen shot is not what is on my computer with the latest version of iTunes. I need help putting music and pictures on my new iPad from iTunes, the new iPad and latest version of iTunes. Thank you.

On iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - it should then look similar to that article.

Syncing photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
Note that synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync - so you need to include all the photos that you want on the iPad from your computer in each photo sync.

Missing libary content with iTunes 12

Ever since I updated to itunes 12 I am missing tons of my music library. I would say a good two thirds of it is gone from itunes. If I go into the finder and music library everything appears to be on my HD but not in itunes itself. Anyone else having this issue? any thoughts or ideas to get my complete library into itunes so I can make changes to my ipod and iphone?
I am very disappointed in this latest itunes update and now missing most of my music is a really bummer!

Thanks for the response but I have done all this already. Everything is in my Itunes media folder as it should be however nothing is appearing in my itunes library. It does not appear I actually lost any music(also backed up on timemachine) but nothing is in my itunes libary. It was perfectly fine before the update yet after updated and opening itunes 12 for the first time nothing is there. This also means all my of media on my ipod and iphone is not going to snyc correctly with itunes if I plug it in. I made zero changes from before the update to after either,

I can't subscribe to Match on Win 7 with iTunes 10.6.3.25. When Apple ID auth window comes up iTunes crashes with "iTunes stopped working" and iTunes closes.

On Windows 7 with iTunes 10.6.3.25 I cannot subscribe to iTunes Match. In iTunes I click on iTunes Match in the left pane then click the "Subscribe for $25 a year" button. A window that looks like I am going to be asked to login using my Apple ID and password starts to come up but then an error occurs and I get a window that says "iTunes stopped working" then iTunes closes. What can I do ?

I've also read somewhere about using Win Rar to extract files to do with apple mobile device support from the itunes installer file, would you recommend that to? I don't really fancy the idea of doing anything that involves my registry because knowing me I'll end up screwing my laptop up for good lol
It's a little more involved than just doing a standalone AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi install, I'm afraid. The relevant drivers in AMDS are not digitally signed for 64-bit XP, so you have to force XP to accept a driver install that it would try its damnedest to not do. There's no driver issues for other 64-bit componentry in the installer package (I think the GEAR drivers install on XP 64-bit systems), but I believe there's still a bit of fancy footwork involved in getting them installed too ... although it's been a long time since I've looked at an instruction set, and I might not be recalling those things correctly. (So if you're not comfortable with system modifications, it might be best to steer clear of the Orca-based techniques ...)

Problems opening with Itunes Store with Itunes 10.7

I recently upgraded to Itunes 10.7 and have since been unable to open the Store when I'm in Itunes. All I see are the words "Itunes Store" in large print on the Store window. In fact, I've experienced the same problem when I upgraded to Itunes 10.6. I'm on Windows XP Service Pack 3. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Any advice for a solution would be greatly appreciated. Do I need to go back an download older version of Itunes?

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Might not work in older browsers, though.

Can't access itunes store with itunes 10/Win7 64bit. Please help.

When I attempt to access the itunes store from iTunes 10.4.1.10 (64-bit) the "one moment please. Connecting to the Itunes store..." dialog box seems to sit there forever before coming back with the following error message “We could not complete your ITunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.” I’ve tried many times and have also tried uninstalling all Apple software and reinstalling. I've also tried using a differnet windows user logon. I’m running win7 (64 bit). I’ve used WMP in the past and would really like to try iTunes. Any help would be appreciated.

While I don't know for sure, my guess is there is a version of iTunes that you computer CAN use and will work with iTunes.
you may try to manually download the latest version of iTunes 8, or an early version of iTunes 9. Should be on Apple's site somewhere.

Can't Access iTunes Store with iTunes 8; Can't Download iTunes 10 with OS X 10.4 Operating System

I can't access the iTunes Store to browse and purchase music, etc. I have an OS X 10.4.11 operating system and iTunes 8.0.2 on my computer. While I can download iTunes 10.3, I can't install it on my computer. I would prefer using my computer with its current software to access the iTunes Store. Is there a way that I can access the iTunes Store to purchase music, etc.?
Thanks!

Why does iTunes crash with 'iTunes has stopped working' on startup?

This only happens when the computer is connected to the internet. If I switch wi-fi off first, iTunes can start, and then I can switch it on again, and it works just fine. It is really annoying! I have seen elsewhere that the 'iTunes has stopped working' message can be caused by outdated graphics card drivers. I have the latest version of both iTunes for Win 7, and the latest graphics drivers.
I have also tried 'repairing' iTunes, and deinstalling and reinstalling it.
The message 'accessing iTunes store' typically pops up just before iTunes crashes, about ten seconds after I click the iTunes icon to start it.
The error goes on to say 'A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.'
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Not able to sign up for iTunes Match with iTunes Gift Card

Last night I purchased $30.00 worth of iTunes Gift cards , redeemed the cards against my iTunes account and attempted to sign up for the iTunes Match ($24.99 per year) only to find out that I must provide a credit card on file before they will allow me to sign up. I never imaged that Apple would require a credit card on file. One of the reasons that I chose Apple products was the ability to purchase with iTunes Gift cards to reduce my risk of fraud when the account become compromised .
Also I have Apple IDs for each of my children and they receive iTunes Gift cards as presents that they purchase Apps, Music etc that they want. That way when they grow up and leave home they have their own Apple accounts to take with them. Apple should want life long Apple customers!!   Just to let you know 14 year olds don’t normally have credit cards and I would never put my Credit Card info attached to their account. So if they own a Laptop, iPhone and iPad they are discriminated from using your iTunes Match because they don’t have a credit card? Really????
Apple to just let you know that I have a Microsoft XBOX Live membership that I purchase a Live gift card once a year to renew my subscription. I can’t believe that Microsoft can figure out how to provide customers a better user experience that Apple.
Please fix this quickly as I would like to use your iTunes Match and other iCloud services that you plan on releasing later this year however I will not be using my credit card so I may have to look for other device options.   If you need any help figuring out how to meet your business requirements please let me know as I would be glad to provide suggestions.
Thank you,
The Next Steve Jobs
PS If any one over there knows a way around this please let me know.

I've been through the same ordeal. I wanted to renew my iTunes Match service, had over $100 credit in the iTunes Store, but wasn't able to use that credit to pay for the renewal. Apple requires you have a valid, working credit card on file to renew for some reason. But once you put in a credit card, the charge is actually taken from your store credit, not the credit card. So, it's very odd and doesn't make any sense to me, either. But there's no way around it without a credit card, that's what Apple Support told me when I contacted them about this same issue.

I'm trying to submit my podcast to the Itunes directory, with itunes having difficulties doenload ing episodes!

I'm trying to submit my podcast to the Itunes directory. My podcast feed is http://intensivecarehotline.com/category/blog/feed and the feed has been verified by other sources. I have tried now for a few days in a row, with itunes always telling me "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed".
My plugin on my wordpress blog for the podcast is "Blubbry power press".
I would very much appreciate any help!
Cheers

Thanks Roger! I appreciate your advice and your time.
Does that mean in order to get my podcast on itunes I need to change all my audio files to mp3/m4va or .mov? Does it also mean I can't embed my youtube videos on my blog? As far as I'm aware, lots of other sites have their podcast on itunes and have videos embedded on their blog as well.
Any further insights would be much appreciated.
Thank you
