The computer that I first used to download iTunes is no more. I have a new computer that I set my wife up on. While I can see all my music in the iTunes library I cannot sync my iPod

The computer that I first used to download iTunes, to buy songs and to sync my iPod Nano to iTunes is no more. I have a new computer that I inadvertently set my wife up on. When I sign in, while I can see all my music in the iTunes library, when I tried to 'sync', I have lost all my music in my iPod and I now have my wife's library on there instead.
I subscribed to iTunes Match, thinking that this would help. It hasn't and I'm not happy!
I have arranged to take my iPod into an Apple store next Tuesday but isn't there something you can tel me to do that ties my iPod wth my music and leaves my wife's music for her iPod? Please help, I am so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this, reinstalling iTunes, restoring my iPod....
Can anyone help?

We had to intall a new hard drive and upgraded to Windows 8.1. We can see all our music on I-tunes but when we try to sync the gen 5 nano our new music (since upgrade to 8.1) does not end up on the i-pod. Any ideas.

We recently installed Window 8.1 and now our new music does not sync to our i-pod nano. Any ideas?
We have tried both a generation 5 Nano and new Nano.

Hey Terrible Teddy,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with the iTunes library on your PC. To begin, I see that you recently installed a new hard drive. Did you happen to copy over files from the previous hard drive? If not, I suspect that the iTunes library is no longer locally stored, and what you are seeing is your iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
Do the tracks have a download icon that looks like this?:
If so, you’ll want to download these purchases as they are not locally stored on your computer:

After doing so, go ahead and attempt to sync your iPod once more.

I upgraded to 5.01 and lost all my CD music files. Worse, I have had to change my computer and while I can see a list of files in Itunes on the new machine I cannot download them. What's to be done?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Apple's policy on sales of digital content is that all sales are final. If however you wish to appeal to Apple, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will not be redirected to the report form, in this case use the report a problem option from the invoice that was emailed to you.
I believe your issues are probably a network issue, which unless you resolve are likely to be repeated again.

Really need help...can't get my old songs to reload onto my ipod. The only songs that will load are ones I have purchased recently on my iphone. I can see all my music in my library. Help please!

Hi everyone..I really need some help! My computer went in for repair and cleaning. The music in my itunes library at the time was backed up on discs. I had not resynced my ipod touch with computer since that occurred in May of this year. Since then I have purchased an iphone and some new music was purchased as well. My phone has the new music (which is about 100 songs). Yesterday I decided I was ready to get everything organized and put all my music on my ipod and my apps on my phone. I have, as it would appear, reloaded all my music back into my library (a little over 1000 songs) as I can see the music and I can open and play it through itunes. I have resynched my ipod touch. All the music that was on my ipod touch has now been taken off and the only music that synched with it is the music I have purchased since I bought my iphone (only about 100 songs). Can't get all music on my ipod at all. Additionally, my account is not recognizing the touch as one of my devices. Any help at all would be appreciated!

You can contact Apple and request a 1-time redownload of your lost purchases. Of course, they prefer you follow some of these recommendations on backing up your purchases.
I think the e-mail form on this page is the best place to start for requesting the replacement download.

I can find all my music in the iTunes media folder on my c drive, but not in the iTunes library.

Hi-
First time here - thanks in advance for any help!
Last year, I loaded a lot of music from my CD collection into iTunes 10 on my PC (running Vista). Now, much of that content does not appear in the iTunes library, but I can find all of it in the iTunes media folder on the c drive. I upgraded to iTunes 11 today and the same problem persists.
Can anyone tell me why the content doesn't show up in the iTunes library?
Thanks again!
John

On 1 pc that is partitioned, both identities are using FireFox as their browser, but one identity can see all images on webpages the other can't - how do I fix

On a pc that is partitioned, both identities are using FireFox as browser. On one ID they can see all images on a website, such as CNN or NYT.com but on the other most of the images (within the story content and advertising images on borders of webpages) are missing. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I need help to fix it.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.image pref should be 1.
If background images are missing then make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows Accessibility settings and that you allow pages to choose their colors in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
There are also extensions like Adblock Plus (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

I had my laptop that my iphone was backed up onto repossesed so now i have a new computer but i dont know how to put my music photos and video and apps on my new computer can somebody help??

I had my laptop repossesed and it had all my bak up from my iphone 4 on it i have a new computer but i cant put all my pics vids apps and songs on my itunes i really need help with this because alot of the photos and stuff i have on my iphone are sentimental as are the songs which all havnt been purchased through itunes please tell me there is a way to do this??//

Set the iTunes to prevent automatic syncing before you plug it in the first time. You should be able to extract any photos in the camera roll as you would from any other camera. You can transfer purchases to get anything you actually purchased from the iTunes store off the phone and into iTunes. Made sure you have at least 1 contact in whatever application you intend to sync contacts to. This will give you the option to merge them. If you don't, the phone will be overwritten with the blank address book from the computer.
As for extracting anything else, media sync is meant to be 1 way only. Computer>iPhone.
As for media that wasn't purchased on the phone, you can try a 3rd party program that 'may' be able to extract it, but this isn't sanctioned or supported by Apple in any way. Technically, you're out of luck if you don't have a backup from the computer that was repossesed.

Question for Printing - Local Administrators can See all printers but ordinary users and additional administrators cannot

Hello, this is urgent. This is the setting, Using Citrixx XenApp, branch users will print into the head office. The built-in admin can see all printer sessions in head office and branch but ordinary users and additional administrators cannot.
Even though, I'll put the users in the group Administrators,still, they cannot see all the printers, they can just see their own. But, I need to see ALL.
Please help me. Thanks.

Hi Lei Mab,
Please understand that this forum is used for the discussion about issues related Windows 7 operating system usage, any 3rd-party software usage issue would not be supported here.
The curent situation is when you are using Citrixx XenApp for the printing task, please seek help at their official website support forum.
Meanwhile, if we are in a domain environment, please take a look at the group policies settings, which might be the cause of the issue you encountered.
Besides, take a look at the following path:
Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers
See if the printers would be listed there.
Best regards

I purchased a download version of PSE12 and now have a new computer. How can I find out how to re-download the program to my new computer?

Any solutions out there. Adobe products are mostly great, but customer service almost non-existant, despite the elaborate website.
Photoshop Elements

You are allowed two activated installations at any time. If you aren't going to be using the old computer anymore, go to Help>Sign Out in the editor to deactivate it.
For the new computer, the simplest way is to download the trial and enter your serial number into that when installing.

I forget my itunes account password and i have a new computer and it has been 6 months and i keep sending emails to my email from the iforget page but they never come with my password?

3 years ago on an older version of itunes when you could hook your ipod to a friends computer and get their songs added to your library on your ipod then take them home and add them to your computer i took some of my friends songs. at christmas i got a new laptop and plugged my ipod into the computer to add all my ipod songs onto this new computer. it asked for her password to her account but she forgets the password. so, i went to the iforgot password thing and have had multiple emails sent to my email for 6 months and none have ever came. how do i just skip her songs all together? i am so done with this.

If you use the backup, your new stuff will be erased.

How We can See ALL tha databases on the System

Hi,
If I have Windows 2003 Server and Solaris10 with Oracle 10g on it. How We see through SQL Command all the databases running on machine. If I want to switch from one database to other what SQL Command I need to run.
Thanks for ur Help.

You can't. You need to know connection data.
You kinda can if you are running SQL directly on Solaris, with a command like
SQL> !ps -ef|grep dbw|grep -v grep
But that is assuming a lot. Including that you are using the correct Oracle definition of database.
It's a tough nut to crack as asked. What are you really looking to do? Switch databases while connected in SQL? Break into someone elses db? Examine machine resource usage? Be a super-duper user?

I wiped out my songs by mistake and now I cannot sync my ipod back to my music in itunes?

I wiped out my ipod music by mistake and now I cannot sync my ipod back to my itunes

Can you provide more specific info?
Do you mean that you deleted the music from the iPod (not sure how you would do that without connecting to iTunes) but still have them in iTunes or that you deleted the music from iTunes but still have it on the iPod?
Is your iTunes installed on a Mac or a PC?

I have a new computer and itunes content didn't transfer - it doesn't recognize me, all my apps are gone, what do I do, I have a new computer and itunes content didn't transfer - it doesn't recognize me, all my apps are gone, what do I do

I received a new laptop. the person that transferred all of my files, didn't know what they were doing when transferring itunes content. Now I have my new computer and itunes doesn't contain all of my music. I don't know how to set it up to recognize my account and I don't see any of my apps. What do I do now?

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
