Stolen laptop. new one wont load the music cause the itunes is on the old 1
someone stole my laptop that itunes was on bought a new one but itunes wont recognize the ipod as belonging to this new pc so it wont sinc the purchased songs or the podcasts how do I fix this
< Edited by Host >
Have you authorized the new computer? From the Store menu, chose Authorize computer. Once the computer is authorized, you should be able to transfer all of your purchases to the new computer from your iPod.
And, you may want to have your new computer looked at as none of your punctuation keys seem to work, making it very hard to understand what you're trying to say.
Best of luck.

Unable to play all the music in my itunes library. The same message always appears - The song "____" could not be used because the original finle could not be found. How do I fix this problem?
Hello there, Paso Kid.
The following Knowledge Base articles provide some assistance with locating content in your iTunes Library:

and
Where are my iTunes files located?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1391
If you have already reviewed those steps and still cannot find the songs you purchased from iTunes, delete the songs and download them again using the information in this article:

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?
If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu. -
Just got new ipod after old one got stolen. NEW ONE WONT WORK!!!!
So my old ipod got stolen. Yesterday I bought a new nano. I get home, and it turns out my computer cant even find the new ipod. I am using the new one with the same itunes account as the old one. What do I have to do to get the new nano hooked up??
What model was the old iPod?
Have you installed the latest version of iTunes as the Nano needs the latest version.
Are you using a USB 2 port? -

HT2731 How can I transfer music in my Itunes account from my old laptop to new one?
How can I transfer my entire ITUNES songs library from my old laptop to my new one?
There's a few different ways to do the move. The following document is worth checking through:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer -
new one wont receive my playlists from my library. what am i doing wrong? It looks like they are synched and i have the latest version of itunes on both but the only way to access my music is through the store
See:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If all your synced media like apps and music is in your iTunes library then simply:
- Backup to iTunes.
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
For how to do both see:

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?
Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4...
My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. No Backup anywhere : (
If I choose to sync it tells me all of the Content that does not match the iTunes library on the computer will be erased, do you want to proceed & I have to say no.
How do I replace the music library on my Computer with the Music on the iPhone?
I got my pictures off because you can access them when you connect the iPhone using Windows 7 but you cannot see any of the music so you cannot access it when using windows so don't know what to do...
Help...The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer. -
My old computer has broken and I had not backed up my Itunes. I now have the hard drive from my old computer (windows 7) but cannot transfer the music. How can I transfer the music from my old hard drive to the new laptop (windows 8)?
Copy the entire iTunes folder from \Users\<User>\Music on the old drive into your music folder on the new computer.
Or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

hi i need help
hi my laptop with my itunes lubrary has crashed so i got a new one but i dont want to sync my iphone to the new laptop incase i lose all my songs on my iphone. how do i sync to a new one without losing everythingThe right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu. -
I just got a new itouch and cannot load any music or media onto it using the newest version of itunes. Every time I try the loading bar at the top says "finding purchased items" and then everything locks down and I have to force quite out of itunes. How do I make this stop???
Make sure the computer is authorized. From the iTunes menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

Had security questions changed a few days ago...now the new ones wont work...
changed security questions a few days ago now the new ones wont work...anyone have this problem?
hi, try all what these guys say, as they make sense (my bet is on a slug of kebab guys ).
you list bits you have tried but don't say if you have tried a new lead?
i'm not being tricky, as an electronics engineer of some 40+ years who repairs consuls, iPhones, iPads etc. i have some experience of what gets overlooked. Some of the cheap after market leads aren't the best quality,and some darn right lethal, likely to catch fire while your asleep. you might have bought of them.
i find it tends only genuine Apple leads lock in, but there might be fakes of them to. either way worth a go. perhaps se if your family or mates have one.
