The songs on my iPad wont save to my iTunes, how can I get them on my computer?

I want to save all my purchased songs on my iPad to my MacBook but they won't go onto my iTunes. I can add more songs to my iPad that are already on my computer but I can't do the opposite. Can anyone help?

When connected try File > Devices > Transfer purchases from Ipad.
It seems that now you need to do this extra manual step. Whereas before it was part of sync'ing.
Hopefully Apple will fix this bug.

I have over 9000 songs in my itunes and over half of them wont play how do i make it so that all of them will play and i have a windows 7 os installed

You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :

There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date.

Did you download them direct to your IPad or to your computer. If so unless you have synced your iPad with your computer since you downloaded they are still on your Ipad unless you deleted them or if they were rentals the time ran out.
To check on your iPad launch the iPod APP on your Ipad if a movie listing does not show then click on the iPad button under your library list column and it should then show your movies etc
Or launch the Video App and look for them there
if you have downloaded them on your computer they will show up in iTunes the cartoons i suspect will show under TV and the Movie under Movies.
A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. After you transfer a rental to your iPad etc, it is removed from your iTunes library.
Outright puchases are obviously yours to keep.
Hope this helps

When upgrading my Mac from OS X Snow Leopard, to OS X Mavericks, The installer displayed my parallel and my PC applications. How can i get them back?

You either have to restore the Snow Leopard backup you made prior to installing Mavericks, or create a separate Snow Leopard partition to boot to in order to run your older PowerPC applications.
Either that, or upgrade the apps which won't run in Mavericks to newer versions that do.

I no longer have any albums on ipad - where have they gone and how can I get them back.

I have "lost" my photo albums on the ipad. They were they and now they are gone. How can I get them back.
I have gone to choose albums to share and ticked the boxes and then "sync" and when I press the photos icon
on the ipad there is just a blank screen in the landscape position. HELP !!!

Albums are logical entries in the iPhoto database - you need to restore fromyour backup to get them back

I have downloaded hundreds of songs from CD's. How can i get them to my computer?

I have downloaded hundreds of songs from CD's and have purchased a new iPhone5. I moved the music from phone to phone, but how can I get them into my iTunes library on my Mac?

2 easy ways, either works...
Locate the music files within Finder, select them (you can do them all at once if you like), then drag and drop them onto the iTunes icon located in your Dock.
Or select the files, RIGHT CLICK, and select OPEN WITH > ITUNES
iTunes will auto import them and then you are good to go!

The Apple Store recommended wiping and reloading software on my Mac Mini yesterday. In the process I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band. How can I get them back?

I took my Mac Mini to the Apple store yesterday since I was having trouble with difficult to read text. They recommended wiping the drive and reloading it. I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage band in the process. How can I get them back. The App store says they are already installed.

What I missed was that I needed to select "Purchased" rather than using the normal listing of items. Once I went to the purchased list I could easily download the various software.
Thank you all for your help.

HT204406 I bought iTunes Match enabled it on my ipad now the 1800 songs in my library are gone and all I have is the music my daughter purchased from itunes how can I get them back. for her ipad.

I have ipad 3 & daughter new ipad mini with RD. She has nano and I have classic. Her nano syncs to her own laptop and mine to my desktop. I bought iTunes Match and authorised both iPads and both iPods. I have now enabled iTunes Match in my ipad and was warned it would replace my library. I pressed "enable" and now the 1800 songs in my library are gone and all I've got is the music my daughter bought from iTunes. What have I done wrong and how can I get my songs back. When I bought iTunes Match I got 1 e-mail confirming subscription and another providing receipt but nothing else no links etc. any assistance would be appreciated.

You can only upload music from your computer's iTunes, you can't do it from an iOS device - when you subscribe to iTunes Match on your computer it should have scanned your music library on it and matched or uploaded any non-iTunes purchased music to it.
Do you have copies of those tracks anywhere e.g. on an iOS device or on your backup of your downloads/library ? If they are iTunes purchases then they should be in the cloud. If they were copied from CDs or bought from other sources then if they are only on an iOS device (i.e. you don't have them on a backup) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Purchased songs lost when syncing from my iphone to itunes, how do I get them back?

I have not had my iphone to my labtop for a month, Connected it just now, and when itunes was done syncing only the two newest purchases, of about 20 over the last month, was synced.
None of the others are left on either the iphone, nor are their anywere to be found on my itunes...
How do I retriewe them????

Agree but annoyed that the IPhone syncs just about everything automatically except photo in camera roll. I just use windows explorer to copy and paste the photo files to my PC subdirectory. IPhone does sync photos from a chosen pc subdirectory to your Iphone. Strange they go only one way when "syncing" to me means maintaining both devices with the same files. Oh well, maybe the next OS will do it.

I have the latest version of iPhoto and now I don't have the Apple templates for emailing photos. What happened? How can I get them back?

I have the latest version of iPhoto and somehow I have lost the ability to use the Apple iPhoto templates for emailing photos. I select my photos, go to Share, go to email, and the templates used to pop up. Now the photos go directly to email. Does anyone know how I can get the templates back?

I encountered the same issue after an upgrade of iPhoto, and it was resolved by clicking on the "iPhoto" button on the menu on the top left of your screen, then "preferences", and in the very first window (General), select the very last pull-down menu "email photos using".
There, you can select various email providers, aol (if set-up), Microsoft outlook, etc... and of course, iPhoto (which should be the very first choice on the pull-down menu).
Select iPhoto, and you will immediately be able to use the templates and make cool cards when emailing your photos from iPhoto.
I hope this helps if your question has not yet been answered.

The older version would allow to save tabs when closing, how can i get the new version to do the same?

the previous version would ask something like 'save file' when i would close firefox. as i use various tabs this is a very helpful feature for me. i would like to get this same feature on the new version, otherwise i want to know how to go back to the older version.
thanks

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

I updated to Mavericks yesterday and my computer is exceedingly slow and the notes that were in my email have disappeared. How can I get them back??

I updated to Mavericks yesterday and since then, my computer has been exceedingly slow!
Windows and applications take forever to open. I get the spinning pinwheel of death every few minutes.
The notes that were in the email app. are gone! where are they?!

The notes are in the Notes application. Restart the computer and see whether there's an improvement in performance.
