I have transferred songs from itunes to my iphone but they are greyed out and will not play

It means that the content didn't fully transfer. I would attempt to transfer it again.

ITunes won't open after transferring songs from old Mac.

I recently got a new MacBook Pro and used my external HD to copy and paste my songs from my old computer to the new one. It seemed to work immediately, but ever since I closed iTunes after the transfer, I cannot open the application at all. What I get is this error message:
I've tried to re-install iTunes; that made no difference. I looked into Finder to see if my files were still there, and there was no change. All of the songs play if I open them in Quicktime, but I get the same error message as above if I try to open them in iTunes.
Let me know if anyone knows what to do here. Thanks in advance!

Hi, mbuco12.
Thank you for the question. This sounds like you will need to rebuild your iTunes library file. Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process. Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

Having transferred songs from my old mac to my new Macbook I cannot authorise them because my old Apple ID is an obsolete email account. I cannot retrieve messages from it so cannot change password.

Question about transferring files from a Mac

Hi there!
I want to ask about the new iPad mini (and or the iPad 3) especially with transferring files from a Mac.
I normally just do the "normal" way of transferring files (.doc files, .mp3 files or .mp4 video files) i.e. via the USB port of my Mac. But is there a faster, easier and a wireless way to do it?
Please advice.
Thanks.

Stupid question: will i need to also install Dropcopy on my iPad 3/iPad mini in order for my files to be transferred?
Yes, it will need to,install it on any machine you wish to use it on.
also, you should spend some time on the Drobbox website to see how it works. You won't find it in the Mac App Store, but can still easily using it on a Mac.

I'm having trouble transferring songs from Laptop to devices

I'm having trouble transferring songs from my laptop to both my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. I just added a new album to my library, and where before I used to select the songs I wanted to add to my devices, and then drag and drop them, this doesn't appear to work. I watched the tutorial and it says there is an 'Add to' option when you clkick on the device name in the top right hand corner. That doesn't appear on mine at all. Completely confused and nearing the end of my tether!

Make sure your device iOS is updated:

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Ho do I get latest news about songs from other countries?

I am located in North America, that's why I think my itunes store just give me the latest news about music from North America, but I want to download some songs from other counties too.
Such as Japan/ Taiwan, is there a way to set my itunes store to show the latest musicfrom other eastern counties? thx!!

You can look at other stores, but you will not be able to purchase tracks from any iTunes Store other than the Canadian store. The content owners will not allow cross-border sales.

You cant, because of licensing issues apple wont allow you too purchase songs which they dont have licens too sell in your country.

Songs from other countries' iTunes stores

Why are songs from other countries' iTunes stores not available for purchasing in the American iTunes store? I found a song that I had been looking for in the French iTunes store, but could not buy it. I was annoyed. Is there any way around it?

In order to buy from a certain country's iTMS, you do need
either: a CC with a billing address in that country
or: an address in that country plus a prepaid card/gift voucher issued by iTMS in that country.
If you don't meet one of this conditions, there is no solution for you.
-sorry but the copyright holders wanted it that way; it's their decision to offer a certain track in a certain country or not to offer it.
Tip; This question on how to buy from another country is asked several times a week in the forums. In the future, I would suggest you do a search on your issue to see, if it has already been answered, that way you don't have to wait quite a long time for a response.
