Unauthorized songs? old ipod new laptop.

so i installed itunes and added all my music. but when i plugged my ipod in it said there were 64 unauthorized songs. does that mean these songs are gone now? how do i know what ones they are?

I had this same thing happen to me today except it was with my apps when i plugged in my iphone, however now some of the purchased movies i have authorization to watch are not working. I am the owner of the apps and i typed in my password and they still work but it was just weird. I watched a movie yesterday and today i am unable to watch it. this happened after i updated my mac on the 6th and plugged in my phone on the 7th.

Old ipod - new laptop - no tunes :-(

Hi,
I am new to apple, but have just been given an ipod classic 3rd generation with a docking station etc. I have plugged it into my new toshiba Windows 8.1 laptop but it does not recognise the device. I have also downloaded itunes and copied my music file into it, but itunes does not recognise them either.
does anyone know of any good videos of how I should go about uploading my music to both itunes and the ipod classic gen 3, and does anyone know of a way to get my laptop to recognise the ipod classic 3rd gen docking station.
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I did search but could find nothing on here.
Thanks to all for your help.

Missing songs when transferring from old to new laptop

Hi
I have just moved my songs from old to new laptop. Unfortuantely it has not copied all of them over, when I try to play in itunes it asks me to locate them. I have checked what has copied over and it has definately left them off, problem is it's left off quite a lot. Was there something that I should have done on the old laptop before copying them to an external device?

To do that, you need to go to "/Applications/System Preferences" then go to the "Accounts" prefpane, then click on the user you want to delete, then click on the minus button in the bottom left corner of the window, but make sure you are logged in as the good user to do this and that the good user is an administrator.

160G iPod, iTunes gone from old computer, New LapTop???

Where do I go from here. The old computer is not an option. I want to download the newest version of iTunes into my new laptop, but have a couple of concerns with the idea.
1. Will it be too much for my laptop?
2. If I successfully download iTunes & then hook up my iPod to it, is there the chance that what I have on my iPod could be wiped out?

You should probably post your questions in the iTunes forums:

Transferring iTunes content from old to new laptop - missing tracks?

My laptop of six years (a Dell Studio) stopped working recently. I took it to a repair shop which transferred all my data - including documents and music - onto an external hard drive.
I then dragged the iTunes content on to my new laptop (a Toshiba Satellite Pro). However, when I open iTunes, it says I only have 12,609 songs (I've been collecting music for over 10 years).
On my iPod, which is still synced with the iTunes on my old (now broken) Dell Studio, it has 13,251 tracks.
Does anyone know a way of finding out which 642 tracks have gone AWOL (and also seeing if I can add them to the new library?)

Choose Consolidate Library from the Library section of the File menu in iTunes after adding each batch to the iTunes library but before unplugging the flash drive or deleting anything from it.

Old pc new laptop

I am one of the early ipod customers that had a battery problem a couple of years ago and had to send it back to Apple to have a new battery installed. When it was returned, all of my playlist were gone. I have an old pc with about 4000 songs. I have not used this pc in about 2 years. I now have a new laptop that I use and it has the latest version of itunes. I want to get the 4000 songs from the old pc and transfer to my ipod. If I go back to my old pc and download the latest version of itunes, will I be able to transfer that music to my ipod without losing current songlist installed from my laptop?

You have to set your iPod for manual sync if you want to use it with multiple PCs. Article on that:

Synching, transferring music between iPod, new laptop

Good morning all!
I recently have acquired a lovely new Dell laptop and would like to know which files I need to place on it so that iTunes and my iPod are once again happy friends and don't get into "no, I can't synch this" "yes I can but I'll have to wipe out what's on the ipod already" "no I can't" "yes I can neener neener neener" catfights.
First, a little history - bear with me, because my tale of woe is a long one.
My school-issued Acer laptop was where I kept most of my music; it played nicely with my iPod mini (synching things, the library and the iPod's contents the same, no complaints, etc) right up until the point where its hard drive failed in a slow, sure, and pathetically sticky way. (I will save my anti-Acer rants for the macbook forum. Before sending it off to get a new hard drive, we backed up its entire contents; most of those backups still remain (all of the My Documents folders, the iTunes program file folder, to name a few - the redundancies such as the Windows program files and many, many, many Word temp files were junked). Once the laptop came back, the iPod complained that it could not sync to the new library of stuff (which at that time was nothing, maybe one new downloaded song) without wiping out the entire rest of my collection. I grumbled and worked around it by having an on-computer iTunes library and when I wanted to listen to the stuff on my iPod while working on my computer, sitting there looking rather silly with my iPod sitting next to me.
Now that laptop has been turned back into the school (good riddance!!), and a full backup has been made of it.
I would like to know if it is possible to...
-Get my iPod mini so that it will play nicely with my new computer. In other words, is there a way that I can get it to sync while keeping the old music that is already on there?
-Ideally, I would like to also transfer the music that is on my iPod to my computer so that the iTunes library and iPod playlist are truly the same. How feasible is this?
-What files should I be looking to transfer to my new computer to do this? (The My Music folder, of which iTunes has a subfolder? The iTunes program file folder?)
-Are there any helpful programs, utilities or guides for doing just this? (Surely I can't be the first person to switch computers while using the same iPod. I would even venture to guess that I have skipped right over a guide here, I just need to be pointed towards it.)
-Will there be any problems connecting my iPod to a completely different laptop? I realize most safeguards are well-intentioned, but I would be very unhappy if my iPod saw my new laptop and went "What! You're trying to get all of your friends' music, you copyright-law-dodging theif!" and wiped its hard drive. I don't want to shoot myself in the foot, here. (Incidentally, all of my music is paid for, or either transferred off my own CDs or found from garage-band-types who put their music free for download online - so it's taken awhile to put things together and while it could potentially be recovered I would be extremely unhappy to have it all deleted under some hyperprecaution put in by the RIAA - so I would really rather not have this happen, lol!)
If it helps: my iPod is set to be disk-style (i.e., yells at me to disconnect it properly, Windows sees it as a hard drive - this is mainly so I have a .txt file with my name/address on it and its name on there) (yes, my mini is named Timothy, lol), and my new laptop is operating under Windows Vista.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks muchly in advance!
Windows Vista

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Newpc, new itunes, old ipod, new troubles

Got a new pc, and installed new itunes, and now itunes does display my ipod, but not my playlists. New playlists and new music do not download to ipod. Have tried reset, redownload, reviewed cables, etc. Do not wish to try restore ipod, but will if needed. Any suggestions gratefully accepted. Thanks, M

Try checking all of your settings in iTunes.
Go to Edit - Preferences. Make sure you have your iPod plugged in. Then click the iPod tab, and make sure "Automaticaly Update All Songs on iPod is checked.
The problem sounds like it does NOT lie in the iPod, so restoring it probably won't help. Mess around with the settings in iTunes. Try other settings, not just one the one i told you. Maybe something just got selected or deselected by accident.

Old Ipod New Itunes

Going through my room i found a very old Ipod Mini, and i want to see what music ihad on it, but the screen is totaly cracked and you cant see anything, when i plugg it into my comouter nothing happens, is there anything i can do? or is it a lost cause?

Hey...
I've got this really annoying problem I cannot solve.
My iPod shuffle was and still is working properly,
but I've got a new computer now and new iTunes on
that same computer. When I connect my iPod to this
new computer it recognizes it, but doesn't want to
work (transfering music etc.) unless I restore my
iPod. I tried to do that but my iPod was restoring
for about 5 hours, and then I gave up cause obviously
something was wrong. Can anyone tell me how can I use
my iPod on two computers??
Bad news... the Shuffle only syncs to one iTunes (and computer) at a time. Each time you synce it to a different one, the contents are wiped...
And why doesn't it want to
restore properly??
Don't know... but you could try the Reset Utility:
