My MacBook Pro is the only autherized computer.

To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place and you will be able to change your settings.

Using Maverick, when I try to add music to a movie, I get a message that the files are protected and unavailable. How do I unprotect them?

I recently downloaded to Maverick. Now when I try to add mucis from iTunes to a movie I am making, I get a message that the files are prtected and unavailable. This never happened to me before. How do I correct this problem?

Well, it sounds as if you are trying to violate copyright protections - trying to use music that you purchased for individual use in a way that is not permitted.
The fact that you were able to do this before would not change the fact that it is not allowed.

I have an iphone 4s. I have a mac computer and a pc. Most of my itunes library is on my pc, but when I try to add music to my phone from my library on the pc, it won't let me do it. I CAN add music from my library that is on my mac, same account.

I have an iphone 4s. I have a mac computer and a pc. Most of my itunes library is on my pc, but when I try to add music to my phone from my library on the pc, it won't let me do it. I CAN add music from my library that is on my mac, same account. My husband has the same problem with his iphone 4, but only uses pc.

My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine. We always manually manage our music (no auto sync). iTunes is up to date on the PCs. My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines. He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4. I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s. How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
Thanks

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same computer, against two different Apple IDs. When I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message?

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

I just purchased a new iMac. My iTunes account is missing a ton of music and I cant figure out how to access it. When I try to load music from my ipod to match my imac it only asks if i'd like to sink my ipod with my account. How do I access my library?

Unless you subscribe to Match, you will have to transfer your non-iTunes stuff from your old computer:

If you want to copy non-iTunes music off of your iPod (eg, if your old computer doesn't exist), you'll need to use a third party program. I don't know of any free ones anymore, but if you google, you can find several in the $19 range.

ITunes freezes on me when I try to play music from a CD

When I try to play music from a CD, it will play two tracks in a row fine. After that, the program will freeze and I'll have to exit it. It keeps doing this on me, and even after uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, it still does it. It's weird how it only freezes after playing every two songs.
It also only does this to CDs. It's fine when I play music already downloaded on my computer. I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes, if that might have anything to do with it.

Boy this discussion sure seems useless. Comeon Apple! Time to step up the support! This is where you are weakest as a company.
Well anyway, I have the same problem. My old optical drive in my macbook pro crapped out when I dropped my laptop, so I just installed a brand new drive (UJ-857e), simultaneously with upgrading to Leopard, so it is unfortunately impossible for me to isolate this problem to itunes 7.5 vs. Leopard. It is clearly not a hardware problem however, since the cd's play fine with other audio programs.
So what I can offer as a work-around fix is to suggest you use a different program for audio cd playback than itunes and all should be fine if your hardware is fine. My program of choice is VLC, which in my opinion is the best free program out there for video formats of all kinds (most codecs included) and plays audio fine too.

TS3989 When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported). When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

Hopefully someone can help me with my question. When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported). When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

How exacly are you trying to import from the Photo Stream? Dragging from the stream to the events? Ctrl-clicking or right clicking?
If "Show in Library" does not show the event, then your iPhoto Library may need repairing or rebuilding; try to run the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools, if you have not already done so. See this post by Old Toad on how to do it: Rebuild iPhoto Library Version 11:

Do you have iTunes configured to manually manage music and videos in the Summary Tab of iTunes?

Try the following user tip:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

Error message (-51) keeps coming up when I try to send music from iTunes to my iPhone and then the music won't come over. How can I fix this message?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

When i try to download music from dilandau i get message from safari as 'undefined'

when i try to download music from dilandau i get message from safari as 'undefined'. Pl help

I was going to check that site; however, since I got a red "not trustworthy" from WOT, I decided not to put my Mac at risk going to a questionable site. I'd recommend not going there; instead, do the right thing: buy the music from a reputable site.
