  • I seem to have lost most of my library

    I moved my iTunes files to a portable extrenal Hard Drive because i had to get the files off a work computer. But I seemed to have lost half if not most of my music files and all my playlist.Can I recover all that off my ipod? Please tell me how I don't want to reload all those CD's again. I have tried to look on the old C drive but nothing comes up any suggestions?

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • I have problems with Itunes in my iPhone 4S since the newest Itunes update

    When the latest Itune released was suggested in my Itunes I pressed yes, and I was asked to reset my Iphone. I did that and lost all the contacts, emails,etc, but I recovered them through I cloud. What I did not recovered was anything I had in Itune in my Iphone which was not synced with my Imac, I had customised it. Now I can not sync with my Mac. I can not even play the songs I have in my iphone, there are greyed out and go by very quicky and I can not play them. I want to be able to sync back and forth playlists between my Mac Air and my Iphone. Thanks for your help.

    Thanks i am glad its not just me getting this problem! It asks me to put it back to factory settings but hw do i do that when i cannot get it recognised in the first place? Any ideas please?

  • TS1363 Since the last iTunes update my iPod will not connect to iTunes

    Since the last iTunes update my iPod will not connect to iTunes. My computer recognizes it but as soon as I launch iTunes I get the error message: An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. I have done ALL troubleshooting steps and it still gives me the error...... this only happend since I updated iTunes.

    Doublechecking. Have you also worked through the following troubleshooting document?

  • Ever since the last iTunes update, my cloud movies and TV purchases all vanished from my iTunes library.

    Ever since the last iTunes update, my cloud movies and TV purchases all vanished from my iTunes library.  I go to Settings>Store>Show Cloud Purchases, but Show Cloud Purchases isn't there.  So, I go to the store, then click on purchases, and I download anything from my iTunes account.  Now, I go to Settings>Store>Show Cloud Purchases, and it is back.  I check the box, and my cloud purchases are again back in iTunes.
    OK, I wouldn't bother posting this, but a day or so later, it all happens again.  Cloud purchases gone, no option to fix in the Settings>Store menu until I go to the store and download something again. 
    How do I get iTunes for Windows to keep showing my cloud purchases without having to do this silly work-around every day or two?

    Audiobooks are not avaiable for redownload from iTunes, though I suspect you may find they are still on your computer even if not currently listed in your library. This may help...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

  • Since the latest itunes update, my itunes won't recognise my ipod

    Since the latest itunes update, my itunes detects my ipod nano (7th generation), but says it can't be identified properly. However, my older ipod nano (4th generation) fine. Does anyone know what this could be? I've re-installed itunes already and followed the troubleshooter.

    The later nano may require more power when connected, to operate and charge its battery, compared to the older nano.  It's possible that your computer's USB bus may not provide sufficient power, if you have other devices connected at the same time.
    As a test, I would shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices (including hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse if normally used.  Do this to Reset the iPod

    Start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect the iPod to a direct USB port on the computer.  Is there any difference regarding this problem?

  • Since the latest ITunes update, I cannot find all the CD songs I converted to ITunes.  All it shows are the songs I purchased.

    Hello jerryfromil,
    I've found an article that may help get your content back into iTunes.
    No content shows up in iTunes after updating

  • HT201210 Has anyone else received a -39 error since the new itunes update?

    Since the latest itune update, I have completely lost all my uploaded audio books.  When I try to restore from my ipod I get error -39.  Has anyone else had this issue?

    I have no idea which password you mean. Your phone's password? Your Apple ID password? Your iTunes Store password? The Backup encryption password? It is impossible not to have an Apple ID password or iTunes Store password. They are usually the same, but don't have to be.
    If you need the backup encryption password it is cretain that you entered it, but it may have been a long time ago. It is prompted the first time you back up after checking "encrypt backup" in iTunes, and can also be required by your IT Administrator if you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on your phone. It is never again prompted until you need to restore from the encrypted backup.

  • Since the upgrade to ios7.1.1 I have lost my ringtones. Is there a way of getting them back from my itunes accout since I've already paid for it?

    since the upgrade to ios7.1.1 I have lost my ringtones. Is there a way of getting them back from my itunes accout since I've already paid for it?

    Yes, go to your 'iTunes Store' app on your iPhone or whatever device you lost them on, then go to the 'more' tab, and choose 'purchased', then find your ringtones that you wanted and redownload them, you won't need to repay for them.
    Hope this helps :)
    Happy hunting :)

  • I seem to have lost most of my 9000 photos when I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3. iPhoto won't work now and says it needs an upgrade not available in the UK. Only a few of the 9000 photos appear on Photos! HELP?

    Move the incompatible iPhoto version to the Trash, before you try to reinstall from the AppStore, but don't empty the Trash.
    update as described here:
    Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
    The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore Purchases tab with ⌘R, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
