Hello Evie52,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
Still can't find your media?
If the missing media is on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod (and you purchased the media from the iTunes Store), you can transfer the media back to your computer using iTunes.
If the missing media is on another computer, you can transfer your iTunes media between authorized computers on your local network using the Home Sharing feature in iTunes.
If the missing media is an app, song, album, music video, or book, you may be able to download it again free of charge.
If you still can't find your missing media, you may need to restore from a backup, if possible.
Learn how to restore from a backup on an external hard drive. Use these steps only if you backed up to an external drive.
Learn how to restore from a time machine backup.
If a backup isn't available, your media may be lost and you may need to purchase replacements.
Best of luck,
Mario

I go to buy a song and says that my ID has not been used in the I Tunes store . So what do i have to do to buy music ?

Is this a new Apple iD? If it is, and you have already set it up, then you have two options:
1. Temporarily put a Credit Card or Gift Card on the account to download the free app. If you put a credit card, then once you have downloaded the app, you should be able to go into your Account preferences and change the payment option to = None.
2. You can download the fee App, and then set up a new Apple ID.

I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be? I sent it via FedEx.

I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. However, my boyfriend sent in his the same time I did and his repair status says repair being diagnosed. I still have the "receipt" of the package when they first sent it to me. I sent it via FedEx. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be or maybe find out if I can still get a replacement even though my nano might be lost in transit?

I sent it via FedEx.
Call FedEx. They will be able to track their own packages. They will let you know if your iPod Nano was delivered and to who!

HT1848 my ipod will not update. I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered.

my ipod will not update. I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered. It keeps telling me to authorize the computer which I have done. The purchased items were purchased using an $10 gift card, would that have anything to do with it?
Thanks,

We won't know until you try the procedure. The reset will not affect the content of the iPod.

What is wrong? The "show my windows and tabs from last time" has not been working these past two or three days. It was fine before. Ive changed nothing except the last update from you. Thank you.

Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

"This message has not been downloaded from the server" - Multiple devices all using Exchange Active Sync

We are having this issue across multiple IOS devices ranging from IOS version 5.x up to the latest 6.1.2. Many (not all) emails sent to the devices are unreadable and simply state: "This message has not been downloaded from the server". Microsoft believes this to be some sort of bug with the IOS devices in the way they are handling the SSL encryption.
Facts:
- Devices are connected to an Exchange 2010 SP1 Rollup 6 via Active Sync (No POP3, IMAP or SMTP)
- issue occurs on multiple IOS devices within the organization ranging from IOS 5.x up to the latest 6.1.2
- Issue occurs on both external cellular data and internal wireless networks
- Not all emails sent to the devices result in the error, but issue does tend to occur more frequently from certain senders/domains
- Using the same user account on an android phone does not result in an issue (even when receiving the exactly same email that has been sent to the IOS devices)
- Closing mail app / rebooting device does not resolve the issue
- Doesn't appear to matter what the mesage format is (can be html, plaintext, etc)
- Spent nearly 7 hours with Microsoft going through the Exchange server configuration and looking for possible causes. None have been found and all testing indicates things are setup correctly.
- This is not a case of Issue 2.3 listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563324 (verified by Microsoft Support)
- If we disable SSL on the IOS device and connect via plain HTTP the messages are displayed correctly!
- If we use a different SSL certificate, the issue still occurs - so not a problem with the original cert.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what would cause this? Does the ISO devices have any sort of log that would indicate why it's reporting this error? The current error is pretty unhelpful.

GFI Have a solution for this problem. It is to do with iOS implementation of reading the message headers when SPF compliance modifications are made by GFI.

Hi all, i need urgently your help please. My touch screen on muy Iphone 5 is not working, i dont understand as it has not been damaged at all, i dont know what happened and need urgently somebody helps me please

Please anyone there can help me what I can do??!! touch screen of my Iphone 5 is not working at all and dont understand as it has not been damage and it is only 2 months and half!! it is not an old iphone and it has not been damaged, has happened right now and cannot turn off the mobile at all. Tried to take out the nano sim as i though it will be turned off but it has not been! i dont know what i can do and i am desesperate!!! thanks All for your help!!

Removing the SIM has no affect on the power of the phone. It is just the part that facilitates connecting to your carrier. Try holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo on the screen and then release the buttons. The phone should reboot. You may need to hold the buttons together for 15-30 seconds.

I've changed computers and lost my music?

I've changed computers and lost my music? What to do? I signed in and a blank library came up.

Your music is where it always has been, on the other computer. Music downloads to the computer via which you purchase the track; you don't see it just because you log into the iTunes Store on another computer. If you still have access to that other computer, you can copy the iTunes library from that computer to your new one.
If, however, you don't still have access to that old computer and you are in the US, make sure you have at least iTunes 10.3.1, then go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the new Purchases link under the Quick Links. The new iTunes in the Cloud service, currently in beta as part of iCloud, may allow you to re-download your purchased content (music, videos and TV shows are only available to US users at this time). You can also do this from an iOS device.
For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you are outside the US, then you normally get only one download per purchase. If you don't have access to the old computer, or have a backup or have the tracks on a iPod or other iOS device, then you'll have to contact the iTunes Store, request a second download, and hope they'll make an exception for you:

I recently changed computers and lost all my playlists from my itunes on my computer, i have them still on my phone. Is there a way i can get them back without making them all again?!

If the books were purchased at the iBookStore, you will be able to redownload, like the apps. Some other sellers, like O'Reilly, also allow multiple downloads.
If you have (or can install) iTunes on a computer (Mac preferable, not mandatory) and run it then plug the device in, does it show up? If the computer can detect it, you can and should do a complete backup onto local storage immediately. That can then be used to reconstruct the content of the device on a new or repaired replacement. If you enable encryption, even the passwords will get saved.

I want to chang all the music on my i pod and it will not let me. how do I do it? and most of the music on my i pod I do not have no more and I can not take it off. how do I take it off?

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!

On my windows Itunes I changed computers and ended up with two of every song. How do I delete the duplicates without doing it one at a time?

I have duplicates of all the songs on my windows 7 computer. I changed computers and ended up with duplicates of all of my songs. How can I delete them all without having to do it one at a time? thanks!

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

I have changed computers and cannot get into my I Tunes acct. can you help me?

changed computers and now cannot get into my I Tunes acct.. I have hundreds of songs on it and I want it back. Please help me.

Open iTunes, go to Store, Sign in to the Store, Authorize This Computer. You should then be able to access the music.

I Have iTunes since 2008. I have changed computers and I know have old libraries but iTunes do not locate a lot of songs when I try to play it. How can I correct this situation?

When iTunes say that try to find the file you want iTunes to play in your iTunes > Media folder. If iTunes offers to find others, let it. If it does not find them all you will have to find them yourself or re-add the files from your drive to iTunes (use Automatically Add to iTunes folder).
iTunes 9: Understanding the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder. - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3832 - Files put into this folder are actually moved from this folder onto the correct location in the iTunes Media folder.
