What causes my iTunes songs to be redownloaded?

First consolidate the itunes library so all music files listed in itunes are COPIED to the "iTUnes Music" folder.
Now you can copy the "iTUnes" folder (Located in my music) to the memory stick and have both the music AND the itunes library with its playlist and all so when you get a new PC you can set everything back up like nothing happened.

What causes my iTunes to crash as soon as I open it

What causes iTunes to crash as soon as it tries to open? I never had any problems in the past. It just started happening a few days ago. I tried to reload it but it still crashes. Any suggestions?

For now and until Apple fixes the bug, the only solution I have found is to turn the proxy off in the Network settings. If you need to use a proxy server for work/school, you are best off with using Firefox. Firefox has a number of add-ons that allow you to turn the proxy on and off (for instance Switchproxy, which is very useful and allows you to turn the proxy on only selectively).

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

Corny ringtones...what about usimg itunes songs?

is there any way to use the purchased itunes songs as ringtones rather than using the corny ringtones in the iphone? that would be more personalized if it were a possibility. it would be such a waste not be able to use the songs for your ringtones.

Not yet...but I suspect it may show up soon.

Hi,
Do you have iTunes match turned on on your computer?
If you cancelled your iTunes Match subscription, you will not be able to download your music except for previous iTunes purchases.

TS4124 What causes iTunes Match, on an iOS device, to lose the cloud icon next to each song?

What causes iTunes Match, on an iOS device, to lose the cloud icon next to each song. On my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S one cloud shows up for a whole album to tap and download a whole album but the ones next to the songs are no longer there. No songs will delete from my phone once downloaded from the cloud by sliding my finger to the left over the song and tapping delete. Instead it just plays the song when I try to delete it. To delete my music from my device I have to go in to settings and delete all the music. This worked fine for the first week and then one day the cloud status next to each undownloaded song disappeared and started doing this.

Try sync Music from iTune to your iPad again.

Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

ITunes songs cause video to skip in iMovie

Hi, this is a new problem I never used to have. ANY iTunes songs I've ever bought and downloaded, when imported into iMovie to provide music for my video, cause the video images to skip. I think because it's ACC protected music, but come on! I paid for it, can't I use it in my movies? Can I change my songs to MP3s, and if so, how? would that solve the problem if I re-imported them in that format?
It never used to do this to me. It used to import music files fine.
Thanks for any help.

In addition to Bengt's solution, if you don't want to take the time to make a CD and import it back into iTunes, you can use Wiretap Pro(free version) to record whatever music or sound you want. It creates an audio file (AIFF) that can easily be put into iMovie. It is great if you just want to have a portion of a song in your movie clip. I have also used it to add sound to a still photo inserted into the video. I find it faster and easier than 'extracting audio.' This neat little app also avoids any audio glitch using 'pasteover.' I record just what I want and save it to the desktop, then just drag it directly into my iMovie's audio track.
You can find more information and download it here WireTap Pro

I unchecked a lot of songs, next time I looked they were checked again. What causes this??

I unchecked a lot of songs, next time I looked they were checked again. What causes this? I am trying to prevent certain songs such as holiday music from being in my shuffled music.

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

What causes the 4002 error in iTunes?

I keep getting the unknown 4002 error, what causes this and how do I fix it?

I have received a 4001, 4002, and 4010 error numbers. I cannot find anything from Apple that describes each of them and what the difference is. And, of course, I cannot find anything from Apple Inc. that tells us how to resolve it or when they will fix it.
All I do know is iTunes Match is broken and does not work. I also know I cannot listen to my songs that are in the cloud, so what good did it do me for Apple Inc. to build server farms all over the place? None that I can tell.
I have resurrected a long-put away iPod to listen to my music because the songs are on a hard drive, not some cloud-like thing. And this I also know: I will never buy another Apple product again. They have become too big, too arrogant, too corporate-centered, and far too selfish since Steve Jobs left the company.
Good bye, Apple Inc.

I "downloaded" songs from my CD, but they do NOT show up in my iTunes "Songs". Tried it two times = zero, what's up?

Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

My past computer crashed and I am trying to get all my itunes songs back for my new computer, but even though I have downloaded all my past purchases some of them still aren't playing and can't be located. What can I do? It is quite alot of lost songs/ money.....
Thanks anyone who can help, Apple make it impossible to talk to anyone or contact and I can't navigate Express Lane

I realise there have been a number of threads like this now that I have started looking, the problem is the back-ups i made were saved to a server network which has now also gone down, a case of dreadful luck really. Is there any other way to get the music back?
Regards

Hey renie1515,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Try:
- Another cable
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
