Unable to access previously downloaded songs after added new ones

i added some new songs to my nano and now they are the only ones that i can listen to. when i connect my nano to itunes i still cannot listen to any songs other than the ones i most recently added.

First, are the old songs showing on the Nano or are the new ones the only showing? Are you getting any types of error messages or icons when you attempt to play these songs in iTunes? You may want to try removing all of the songs from your ipod and re-syncing them back on to see if that helps. Also, try resetting the ipod.

  • Unable to access previous downloads

    I accidently deleted a song shouldnt i beable to access it in hidden or previous downloads??
    Im able to do this on my ipod but not my macbook....

    RIGHT!!! I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!!! OK... Time Machine connects a computer to the respective folder, by the computers name and model computer. Since that is true, your computer's motherboard was replaced, which changes the addresses and id numbers, so Time Machine thinks it is a different computer. With that, Time Machine will not accept the fact that the computer has the same hard drive and will be stubborn to say that it will only be able to read the information from the finder and all it can do now is to start over. Unfortunately, Time Machine will stick to its guns to start a new backup.

  • Unable to access previous TM backups after re-selecting external drive

    My MacBook Pro just came back from Apple repair, where it had its logic board replaced. (Hard drive is fine, and remained untouched.)
    Upon getting it home and plugging in the external HD I've been using for Time Machine since November, TM would tell me that backup "failed" and that it "couldn't find the volume".
    I tried turning TM off, deselecting the drive, then turning it back on and reselecting it. Now it tells me that there isn't enough room on the drive to perform a complete backup.
    Problem is, that's not what I'm asking it to do! I just want it to recognize all my previous TM backups and continue doing its incremental work just as before.
    I have a perfectly intact Backups.backupdb folder with three months' worth of valid TM incremental backups. Have I lost those forever? Am I going to be forced to erase this drive and start all over with TM?

  • Unable to Activate iMessage on MacPro after adding new SSD

    Just added a SSD to my Mac Pro - wonderful speed-up having only System, Apps Library and User Folders on the drive!
    Using Mountain Lion v 10.8.4
    But Messages v 7.0.1 will no longer work.
    On opening, it asks me to Enter Apple ID to activate iMessage.
    It has pre-populated the Apple ID with my email address but when I enter the Password, it goes into cog-wheel mode and, after a delay, responds that it is unable to sign in asking me to check my network connection (it is working great for Mail, Safari etc)
    I have double-checked the password (the same one allows me to enter the Apple Store and is effective on my Mac Book Pros. my iPhone & my iPad).
    I used Clean My Mac to remove Messages (and its many folders), reinstalled Mountain Lion from a start-up flash drive I created, updated the system software and found a pristine version 7.0.1 of Messges in the Applications Folder.
    But I still have the same problem.
    Appreciate any suggestions.
    ...John
    PS iMessages works great on my iPhone & iPad.
          Messages(v 7.0.1) works great on my Mac Book Pro (running 10.8.4)

    This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
    Step 1
    Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
    Step 2
    Restart your broadband device and your router, if different. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
    Step 3
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or obviously invalid, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
    Step 4
    Back up all data, then take the steps suggested in this support article.
    There are five steps in that article. Please take all of them. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
    Step 5
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.
    Step 6
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Step 7
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
    Step 8
    Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
    If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
    Step 9
    According to one anecdotal report, Flash Player may interfere with iMessage, though I don't know how and can't confirm. To test this theory, select from the menu bar
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
    and click
    Block all sites from storing information on this computer
    Close the preference pane. If this action solves the problem, please post your results.
    Step 10
    Reinstall OS X.
    Step 11
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

  • Unable to access time machine backups after creating new user profile

    Hi,
    I had visited the Genius Bar with some problems with iTunes not opening. The Genius had indicated that I likely had some corrupt files and that the easiest fix would be to create a new user profile... So we did...
    After transferring all my data over to the new profile and setting everything back up as I like I deleted the old (presumably corrupt) user profile. To my dismay I no longer have access to any of my time machine backups that were created prior to setting up my new user profile... They appear to still all be there. However, I am unable to select any of the dates prior to the new user profile's creation and the deletion of the old profile...
    Please help...
    Thank in advance,
    Des

    That's correct. What you see in Time Machine's "Star Wars" display depends on what you have the Finder window set to. While looking at the new profile, you can't see any backups that were done before it existed.
    You're right, they're still there, for now, but are grayed-out in the timeline at the right, because what's in the Finder window wasn't backed-up then.
    If you select your internal HD or Computer Name in the sidebar, you'll be able to see those backups.
    But since they're for a different user, you won't be able to view inside that home folder or restore from it -- one user, even an Admin user, doesn't normally have access to a different user's data.
    It's doubtful, but you might be able to create a new user with exactly the same name as the one you deleted, log on to it, and see if the old backups appear.

    Hi Blotontheland,
    Thanks for the prompt reply. The interesting thing is that my Macbook Pro was upgraded today to Yosemite and I still have the spinning wheel on the start up screen before the login page comes up.

  • TS3297 when I attempt to play a newly downloaded song on my IMac, it starts then skips to a previously downloaded song?

    I'm wondering if I have incorrectly downloaded an album from ITunes.  When I attempt to play songs from it, they are incomplete and my IMac will skip to a previously downloaded song.  Please help?

    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • EDIT method doesn't work after adding new row

    I would like to start editing after adding new row into TableView.
    I copied example from Oracle website: [Using JavaFX UI Controls - 13 Table View|http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/table-view.htm#CJAGDAHE]. Then I put additional button for adding new row and define action for the button.
        final Button addButton = new Button("Add");
        addButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent arg0) {
                Person p = new Person("", "", "");
                table.getItems().add(p);               
                table.getSelectionModel().select(p);
                table.edit(table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedIndex(), table.getColumns().get(2));
        });In result I can see selected new row but the table doesn't start edditing in the third column.
    I have similar method for editing existing rows and it works properly.
        final Button editButton = new Button("Edit");

    Help, please.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
