Restored iPod, now cannot transfer from library???

My iPod had the "exclamation pointand folder" error. I tried reset, retry, bla, bla, bla. Finally had to download the latest version of iTunes and restore my iPod to factory settings. Now it tells me that most of my Library cannot be transferred to my iPod because I'm "not authorized to play them on this computer". I'm using the same computer and the same iPod I've always used. Why can't I download my library???

You'll probably need to authorize your iTunes store account for transferring iTunes Store purchases to your iPod.

MCPro4.1 -cannot upgrade past IOSX 10.5.8 and now cannot transfer from itunes to my 4s which is upgraded to IOS7. What can I do?

I have a MacBook Pro 4.1.
I have been unable to upgrade the software beyond OSX 10.5.8.
I have an iphone 4S and have previously been able to transfer tracks from itunes to the phone but now - though I can download music to the laptop, I cannot transfer them to the phone as I get an error message saying I need Itunes 11.1 which I have downloaded but I cannot run apparently because of the old operating system. Is there any way 'round this - without going back to the old OS on the phone?

To get to the next stage, Mac OS X 10.6, you will need to BUY a 10.6 DVD from the Apple Online Store and have them ship it to you. Once you have Installed, Update to 10.6.8, and a much newer version of iTunes will become available as an Update.

IPod Classic cannot transfer from iTunes

My classic can no longer transfer tunes from iTunes. It freezes and then eventually comes up with the message cannot transfer. I have reset it several times, tried a different lead, even tried it on a different computer. Eventually I reset the iPod to factory settings but still get the same problem. Anyone any ideas please?

You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

Had to restore ipod now it will not sync any of the apps that we have downloaded

Ipod was locked with password daughter forgot, had to restore ipod, now ipod will not sync any of the apps that we downloaded from itunes. Anyone know why???

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Cannot transfer from laptop to KOBO.Did not register at instal.How do I start over ?

Cannot transfer from laptop to Kobo due to wrong install.Would like to save my sign in.how do I reset and start over ?

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Cannot drag from library to stage

In Win2000, new user just installed trial Falsh Pro8,

kglad's exactly right. The layer you're dragging to has to be unlocked and visible.

Cannot transfer iTunes library to iPhone 4S

for some reason I cannot transfer my iTunes library music to my iPhone 4S. I keep getting errors. I tried EVERYTHING!
HELP!!

I have a similar problem. I have a iPhone 4S. I have a couple of albums of music that I was to copy from my computer to my phone. I have rebooted both, I have done Edit > Preferences and clicked on Reset warnings and Reset cache. I have then done a File > Devices > Sync "IPhone name".
I still have music on my PC that I want on my IPhone but it's not there.
What can I do please?
Thank you very much!!!

Restored ipod, now itunes won't recognize.

I recently restored my ipod back to the way it was when I bought it. I try to update the software for it and nothing happens; I am unable to click on the update button. Plus, when I open itunes, it doesn't even detect that my ipod is plugged in. What am I doing wrong? I need help.

Me too. Have tried to restore iPod as had been getting exclamation mark with file. It wiped all tunes off it before I tried to restore so I had nothing to lose. Now in disk utility, the repair procedure is indicating that the volume needs to be repaired but it cannot do it. It won't mount on either desk top or in iTunes. This is a 2nd generation iPod and surely should have lasted longer than 3 years. Apparently to repair it costs £169!!!!

Installed 3.6.8 and now cannot switch from one open tab to another

my home page automatically opens 4 tabs, I updated to 3.6.8 on my mac laptop. Now when the tabs are open I cannot go from one open tab to another even though the tabs are still up.

Download iTunes from Apple's web site and install it. Don't use Software Update.

When I'm trying to mirror on AppleTV instead of mirroring my iPod, a random picture from library pops up on the screen. How do you fix this? Has this happened to anyone else?

When using mirror on AppleTV instead of mirroring my iPod I get a random picture from library. How do you fix this?

No, that's not mirroring. As I said that's basic airplay. Mirroring is an entirely different function.
What model iPod do you have? Mirroring requires an iPod Touch 5th Generation.

Cannot transfer from ADE to Acer Iconia Tab a500

I have used my Adobe ID and password and installed ADE on my pc (XP), but ADE does not recognize my Acer Iconia Tab a500, which is listed as a supported device. I have registered the Iconia tab and also authorized it with the same Adobe ID and password. The installation instructions tell me that my e-reader device will appear as a new bookshelf in the library when the device is connected to my pc, but it does not, so I am unable to transfer from my pc to the e-reader. Any ideas?

I just got an Acer Iconia A500 for Christmas and was going through the same problems as "cantreadit". Since I'm not the most technically advanced person in the world (I'm an old fart in his 60's), I was panicking about not being able to use this part of my tablets capabilities, and started looking for a cure on the internet (Acer was almost no help). I couldn't get past the sign-on to Adobe ADE, and always got an error message. I saw a comment about a "time-expired" error being caused by the tablet and the computer mot having the same time shown, but my tablet was the exact time as my computer. When I went a little deeper, I found that my tablet didn't have the "TIME ZONE" marked correctly (mine was set off of GMT, the default). When I tethered my tablet and computer together and had both open to the time I reset my tablets time (the tablet doesn't set to the second, so I waited until the computers second hand got to the exact minute and clicked on the tablets clock - I don't know if you need to get that exact, but....). When I went to my tablet and signed in, this time my authorization was accepted.
Note: Adobe ADE still doesn't show my tablet as connected, and I can't download from Adobe directly, but (being an "old fart") I always save my books first to a folder on my computer before opening them to ADE. When I went to my tethered tablet and copied the folder with (the DRM protected) e-books on my SD card, then went to LumiRead, then settings, then to "manage my book folders" and added that folder to the folders that LumiRead looks at, ALL the books were there and readable. Saving the books to a folder first (which my Techno-Geek" son and son-in-law said was un-necessary) seems to have worked out good for me.
My last concern is that I don't know if Overdrive will also "see" the ADE authorization and let me download books from my local library on line (which I use a lot for my dedicated e-reader), but I'm going to check that out later today (here's hoping that works too).
This may not be the same problem that the rest of you have been facing (my problem may have been too simple for the rest of you guys to miss), and it may not be the complete cure (I still have the Library & Overdrive to checkout). Also, the rest of you may have trusted the system to work properly, and not "stupidly" saved the books you bought to a folder on your computer (like a skeptical "old fart" like me would do), but for the other "Old Farts" out there, this may be the cure your looking for (no matter how simple it may be).

HT1473 I recently had to replace my hard drive and lost my iTunes library. Now I cannot transfer the library from my iPod to iTunes on the new hard drive (same computer). How can I complete the transfer?

I recently had to replace my hard drive and lost my iTunes library. When I try to transfer the content from my iPod to iTunes on the new hard drive (same computer), it would only let me transfer iTunes store purchases. How can I complete the transfer of all the content on the iPod back onto the computer?
