Transfer from PC to Mac:  won't recognize any songs bought in iStore.

I switched from an old PC to a new Mac Air. Reformatted iPod (mini) so it will work on Mac. Backed up library and loaded onto Mac Air. Sync was no problem; however, whatever I bought in the iStore won't tranfer because it is not authorized on the Mac. I'm not using the PC any more. Searched online and followed recommended steps to authorize. No success. Received suggestions by email. Does't work. Telephone support has been problematic. Why is this so difficult? How is it done?

Format the drive to MS-DOS from the Disk Utility on the Mac or FAT32 if possible on the PC.

  • BDM for Mac won't recognize any Blackberry

    As the title says, BDM fails to recognize any Blackberry, I've tried with a Curve 8900 and a Bold 9000. Both ask to if I wan't to mount the media card when I plug them to the computer. BDM for Windows does recognize them when running Windows with VMWare Fusion 2.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling BDM for Mac, deleting all related files and restarting but nothing new has happened. 
    Can anyone help fixing this?
    System:
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
    Macbook 13" 
    2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4GB of RAM

    Yeah I have had my 250 for about a year and a half with zero problems (both with Leopard and Snow Leopard). The weird thing is that it wouldn't work on either my MB Pro (which it has always worked) or my parents iMac. I plugged his 260 (a newer and better model) into both computers and still nothing. The only thing that stayed the same was the cable but I don't know how that could break.
    The GPSs both show the computer hookup connection but neither macs recognize the units.

  • My mac won't recognize ANY wifi networks.

    All of the sudden, my airport utility on my Macbook Pro won't detect any wifi networks. My other devices recognize my network, as well as about 12 others around me, but my laptop, which never had a problem before, won't find any. My computer crashes at least once daily (it's old at this point), and it did today, not unusual, and now my airport can't find any networks. Help? I'm running Yosemite.

    You have a Yosemite issue, so your best bet for a timely and informed response would be to post in the Yosemite support forum. The link is just below:
    OS X Yosemite
    Alternately, but probably not quite as appropriate, you could try a post in the MacBook Pro support forum as well:

  • Transfer from Digital 8 camera won't recognize

    I'm a first time user of Mac (just picked up a new iMac last month) and I'm a beginner at video editing also. I've been playing around with the Mac trying to transfer video via a firewire from my Sony digital 8 camera.
    I have had success in getting the tapes that were recorded with the digital 8 camera to transer using the firewire but any other tape that I put in that I have recorder with a another camera in the past is not recognized by the Mac. I just get a blue screen and the computer will not recognize the signal.....the camera will play and display the videos perfectly and the Mac will recognize play/stop/rewind commands from the camera but will not record or display any of the signal whatsoever.
    The tapes that I recorded on the digital 8 are a mixture of regular, hi8 and digital 8 tapes so I don't think that the type of tape is the issue but I think that its the camrea's inability to recognize and convert the non-digital tapes for transmital on the firewire...don't know, thats just my thought on it
    Does anyone have any ideas or solutions
    thanks in advance
    Is there a way that I can get around this issue of transfereing these videos to the Mac via a firewire?...is there something on the camera that I may have to activate for the Mac to recognize the video signal that was not recorded on the digital 8 camera?

    is there something on the camera that I may have to activate for the Mac to recognize the video signal that was not recorded on the digital 8 camera?
    Not sure if this may be your problem or not... In the VTR menu, is your "A/V —> DV Out" switched "On" or "Off?"

    i tried to get the installation disc for the camcorder but mac wont' recognize it becaue it is windows based i guess.
    i just bought the camcorder a few months ago and when my computer crashed thought i'm finally getting a mac...it's been a costly venture which has resulted in more frustration than before my pc.
    now the things i want to use with my mac that i thought would be even simpler...are not even useable...
    help

    That camera shoots H.264 in an .avi wrapper.
    You will have to transfer the files via the Finder.
    Get a free copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert them to QuickTime .mov using the H.264 codec if you are presumably editing in iMovie.
    Note that your list of video codecs won't look like mine as I have Final Cut Pro, but H.264 is definitely an option for you.

    Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):

  • Mac won't recognize my password to let me download anything

    I recently downgraded from Yosemite Beta to Mountain Lion and now my mac won't recognize my login credentials. Curious thing is it does recognize them to let me login at startup. But it won't let me download anything because it says my password is wrong. I changed the password and again it recognized it to let me login but not to download anything. What's going on?

    Where are you trying to download from? Apple ID password?

  • After transferring music to new Mac, Mac won't recognize iPod

    I just recently transferred my music from a PC to a new Powerbook G4 using my iPod in disk mode. I erased everything on my iPod, then loaded it with music in disc mode to put on my new computer. But now, I need to erase the stuff on there in disc mode so I can put it back in the normal mode.
    Just when I thought I was figuring it out, my Mac won't recognize my iPod. Do I need to reformat it for a Mac since I was using it with a PC? Be gentle, I'm new to Macs and don't know the lingo or my way around very well yet.

    Exactly what steps did you follow?
    1. what do I do with original iTunes folder?
    It's on your old computer.
    What do you want to do with it?
    2. how do I get iTunes to read/ingest playlist and songs?
    If you copied the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer then you simply need to open iTunes.
    Since it is the exact same library, everything will be there as it was on old computer.

  • Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone or iPad.

    Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

    Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

  • I am trying to do a migration transfer from an older Mac Pro, running Leopard, to a newer Mac Pro, running Lion.  There is a step that asks for a "passcode" to proceed.  I have no idea what that passcode is.  It seems to want a numeric code.

  • My mac won't recognize an external monitor. The screen Goes Blue Once, then goes blue again and the second monitor just turns off. I am using an HDMI adapter to a visio TV. I also have my xbox on the tv. Can anyone Help??

    My mac won't recognize an external monitor. The screen Goes Blue Once, then goes blue again and the second monitor just turns off. I am using an HDMI adapter to a visio TV. I also have my xbox on the tv. Can anyone Help??

    Lol, figured out the first part. Just for those who may be searching, when you click on the Display Preferences, and click on the arraingment tab... it not only shows where your two screens will be displayed, but the WHITE BAR at the top of one screen is the dock/toolbar. Click and hold to grab this and just slide it over to the screen you'd like it to be on.
    You have to release it IN the screen box, not on top of it... and it should pop right over to the new (or old) screen. At any rate, you can put the dock on either (or any) screen that you prefer.
    I am thinking of ordering more of these. Lol. 3 monitor setup seems like it would be crazy good.
    Still looking for the answer to keeping the new 16" screen on the right without switching between screen #s with that... not expose... Lion feature.
    Thanks. Hope my other question has an answer out here.

  • Mini Mac won't  recognize my password

    My mini mac won't recognize my passwoed. Is there any way to reset the password? I know I am entering it correctly. I am copying  down my the note pad I wrote it down on. I tried swapping  out the keyboard. I also tried resetting ithe as well. Please help.

    Note: Resetting the keychain deletes all the old saved password entries!
    You can't change a keychain password without knowing the old password.
    Backup the files located in ~/Library/Keychain before resetting if you ever plan on attempting to recover the old keychain items (should you remember the old password).
    The Finders 'Go menu > Go to folder…' will open that folder if you insert ~/Library/Keychain as the path.
