    Is your Apple ID set properly at Settings > iTunes & App Stores?
    If so, log out from there and log back in.
    If that doesn't solve it (it should), check Settings > General > Restrictions

    Did you remove the entries from your library, or just the physical files?
    Delete the entries, close and reopen iTunes, select iTunes Store in the left column, then Purchased in the quick links section. Your missing songs should be listed under Music > Not on his Computer.

  • I got a new iPhone 5 when I went to add my music back from the cloud Not on this iPhone Rihanna for some reason will not re load to my new phone the Little wheel just keeps moving

    I got a new iPhone 5 when I went to add my music back from the cloud Not on this iPhone Rihanna for some reason will not re load to my new phone the Little wheel just keeps moving nothing ever happens.  I turned it off and still nothing
    whats up with that I have one beatles song and one kenny chesney also

    Mate, I'm trying to find out if it was shipped like that or not. If someone else has had the same issue then I can go back to Apple and have them look into it further. If not then as I said Vodafone is selling second hand phones and they will have to replace the phone.
    Vodafone account manager is saying that he has never heard of anything like it.
    So I'm left with one of 3 answers.
    1: The phone was shipped like that so its a factory error.
    2: The Apple genius doesn’t know what he's talking about then I can go back to the store and ask for a second opinion.
    3: Vodafone is selling second hand phones as new.
    I need to narrow it down so I can deal with the account manager appropriately 

  • IOS6 loaded and now none of my bookmarks are showing in Safari and when I try to add them again it won't let me.  Am using iPad2

    Have downloaded iOS6 and it has been ok until today.  When I went to Safari this morning none of my bookmarks are showing and when I try to add them again it won't saved them.  Am using iPad2.  Anyone got any ideas please?

    Ok I read some of the other posts and restarted the iPad which seems to have solved the issue temporarily.  Is there likely to be a fix for this in the near future?

  • When I try starting my iPod touch, it won't start; the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds, and then, it just shuts off. I tried to charge it through an outlet; the iPod didn't even charge, so I tried to restore my settings on my computer. iTunes won't

    when i try starting my IPod  it won't start, the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds,and then. it just shut off . I tried to charged it through an outlet, the IPod didn't eve charger so I tried to restore my setting in my computer, i tunes won't

    But that requires the computer to see the ipod. I am having the same problem and I keep being told to restore it, but you have to either get the ipod to turn on or have the computer see it in order to so that. Right now I have a pretty useless 32GB ipod touch cos I cant get the thing to turn on! I can only get the apple logo for like maybe 20 seconds and it goes away. Ive charged it for days on a wall charger, on the computer usb charger, and on a speaker charger. Nothing works.

    What installer software package files? Could you tell me how to get there?
    Afraid I'm not a mind reader. You have to download the installer packages from whatever source provides those installer packages. For instance, you would download the DivX installer package file from DivX. The Perian codec installer package would found at the Perian web site. QT "Pro" codec components installers may be include with older Motion or FCP Suite software or from the Apple site, etc., etc., etc. At this point all I know for sure is that that you have part of the DivX package installed and should reinstall the entire package if you plan to use it for anything.
    Everyone's codec component configuration may be different depending on what codecs the need to use. Perhaps it would be easier if I provide an image showing the codec components installed on my Snow Leopard configured laptop:
    This is a very basic set-up since I do most of my video work on my iMac which has FCP installed on it. In this case you can see:
    a) AC3MovieImport.component (Apple)
    b) AppleIntermediaCodec.component (Apple)
    c) AppleMPEG2Codec.component (Apple)
    d) Elgato Turbo.component (Elgato)
    e) EyeTV MPEG Support.component (Elgato)
    f) Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component (Telestream)
    g) Flip4Mac WMV Export.component (Telestream)
    h) Flip4Mac WMV Import.component (Telestream)
    i) Perian.component (Perian)
    j) x264Encoder.component (MacUpdate)
    The first three codecs were installed by my System Installer w/iMovie package (i.e., pre-installed on system when purchased or added afterwards by iMovie). The Elgato codec installers came with with my Turbo H.264 and EyeTV hardware devices. (I you don't have such devices, then you don't needcan't use these codecs.) The WMV codecs were purchased from Telestream. The Perian codec was a free download from the Perian web site and is used for DivX, XviD, 3ivX, DTS, AC3, MKV, FLV, and other audio/video/file type support. (I.e., I don't use the DivX package.) The X.264 codec is a leftover from my old Leopard system and not really used much anymore since I now prefer using HandBrake GUI for most X.264 custom encodes.
    At this point, would assume you need to rerun the Snow Leopard/iMovie Installer if you purchased the system with system pre-installed or purchased the it as a system upgrade. Another alternative would be to find another Snow Leopard OS platform and simply copy the missing Apple iMovie codecs from a working system to your non-working system. All other codecs are up to you. Only you know what third-party codecs were installed on your system. And if you don't remember, you will probably find out what you are missing every time you try to play a video containing an unsupported codec.
    Since you seem to be very inexperienced here, you may wish to consider joining a local user group or seeking some one-on-one assistance from someone in your local area.

  • Can someone help me with an error thats going with my app store on my mac. I got my mac and i used a friends account because i didnt have an apple ID. But once i finally made my own i switched users. But for some reason why i try to updatetheaccountappear

    So i got a MAC and im trying to update my apps imovie and iphoto but the old account i started with still appears and i cant erase it or delete it. Is it a glitch or something can some really help its a irritating problem. Plzzz respnd some one.
    The story:
    i got my Mac didnt have an apple id so i used my cousins but now i made me own like ac ouple months ago but when i try to update soem apps my cousins account still appears and i want to get rid of that. Hope someone can help really.

    Only the Apple ID that bought the apps can update the apps. That Apple ID is permanently encoded in the apps.
    Your only option is to delete your cousin's apps* and buy them with your own Apple ID.
    *Your cousin's apps on your Mac is software piracy.

  • Need to be able to use and sinc Google calendar, I can not get enhanced google email plug in for some reason

    I finally got a gmail account and have tried to create a calendar for my family using google calendar.  The calendar appears on my Torch 9810 but will not sinc with google calendar.  I keep reading that I need enhanced google mail plug in but can not find where to get this plug in.  I am not tech savy, so any help would be appreciated.  I am a long time Blackberry customer (15 years) and in the almost 2 years of having the Torch, I am ready to huck it out the window and give up.  I loved my Bold, the Torch does not compare in my ease of use.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    From what I understand, Google discontinued support for the Enhanced PlugIn as well as many other things...but that's a change that Google made, not BlackBerry. Further, via the available OTA sync capability for Google Calendar, only the primary calendar can be synchronized...no others.
    So, I'm a bit unclear about your specifics...it sounds like you created (on Google) a sub-calendar for "family", and somehow got that to appear on your BB, but cannot get it to sync OTA with Google. But all of that sounds contradictory to what I understand...in that you should not have been able to get that sub-calendar to appear on your BB at all since Google only supports the primary calendar.
    So some further details about all of that will likely help greatly in understanding, and hopefully then providing you with useful guidance.
    Thanks and let us know!

  • Every time I try to replace text on a brochure template, the colors inexplicably change- and when I try and change the color, it doesn't let me- help, very frustrated:)  Please respond in laymen's terms:P

    Hello Everyone,
    I am working with the Green Grocery Newsletter Template, and I am trying to substitute the text.  As an example of my issue, when I highlight the title text and start typing, it turns blue, even though the text color box still shows green.  Actually, any text I try to replace turns blue!  If I try to change the color of my blue text, the text color box shows the new color, but the text on the template is of course, still blue.
    Please help:)! So frustrated and on a deadline.
    Thank you:)!

    Just wondering, when you pull up the inspector, is the writing that is coming up blue a hyperlink (when you click on it, will it take you to a web page or an e-mail)?

    Hello Neygotsole,
    Having your device malfunction can certainly be frustrating. After reviewing your post, it sounds as though your device is experiencing multiple issues. I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings without restoring from a backup? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.
