Why can't I get devices to show up in itunes?

New computer

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you want your new computer to be the primary (synced) library, you will need to unpair your old library first (settings > computers > your library, then disconnect), then pair your new library (settings > computers > connect to iTunes).
If you want to keep your old computer as the primary library and add the new one as a secondary library, you'll need to set it up first (settings > computers > add shared library, and follow onscreen instructions)

  • Why can't we get free aps with out an ITunes card or a credit card. We used to be able to.

    Help me! I have 2 problems. My sons wifi won't connect. It says incorrect passcoad.Or no avalibel network. Also why can't we get free app with out an ITunes card or credit card. When I got my first iPhone I could get free apps with out an iTunes card or a credit card.

    I believe to upgrade or an update is actually free purchases...so for billing purposes you'll need a method of payment...either a credit card, or PayPal attached to your Apple ID...NOTE, you won't be charged...it's just a part of the check and balance verification.

  • Why can't I access German TV shows from US iTunes account??

    I am a German Expat living in the US & I want to buy German TV shows in the iTunes store. Mainly for my daughter whom I want to raise bilingual. Why can't I access German TV shows?? And if there is a way, how? I have a US billing address.
    Arem't we in an international age now? This is very limiting.

    There are a lot of great original German TV shows as well. Also, I would not mind my daughter watching her favorite US shows, such as Dora or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse dubbed in German. Any way she deepens her German language skills is fine by me.
    I also feel it's somewhat unfair (discriminatory even?) if hispanic immigrants have access to their language in the iTunes TV show section, but not other nationalities, only because there are less Germans here (for example). Come to think of it, it's a great way to learn any forreign language for US students, if they were able to easily download foreign TV content...
    The one big advantage of digital downloads of TV and movies, in my eyes, would be the "accross the border" ease of access. I sure hope the powers that be will become more aware of this and fix this issue. At least a "selection" of the most popular, original TV shows could be available.

  • Why can't I get my third Ipod updated in Itunes?

    Can't get my third Ipod update to new ios version. Why?

    My first Ipod, 32 gig, was updated with Itunes and the updates were fine. Then I got a 64 gig  Ipod and it was updated fine.  Then I got an Ipad and started updating it with no problems . . . . until an update of itunes last year.  I can't quite remember when, but I'm thinking I read that I could only have two ios update per Itunes. I can use Itunes for sync and monitoring my apps, but no updates were permitted. My other question is, Can I start up another small lap top with Itunes and use my account to update my third Ipod?

  • Why can't I get a song to load from itunes, or Amazon to the slide show?

    I have created  3 slide shows in Photoshop Elements 11.  No problem until I tried to add audio.  First slide show used song from itunes, no problem, 2nd slide show complete try to add new song I downloaded from itunes JUST for this slide show.  Error message : codec required....I spent the next 3 hours attempting to solve the problem, downloaded same song from Amazon and still will not work.  I have also download Realplayer and still no luck. I even downloaded the song into media of photoshop but can't get it from the organizer to the editor on the slide show.

    For itunes, try deleting the album artwork, then try again.

  • I'm in Sydney, Australia with a new Apple TV. why can't I get the TV shows icon and content?

    Got it for xmas (latest small black version), just set it up and I had a full 3 bars of content to choose from including an icon for TV shows. However after about 5 mins or more that icon disappeared. I restored the Apple TV. Same thing happened.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There are reports of TV Shows missing from users screens, initially it looked like this might be an issue in the UK only, but it may well be more widespread. It appears to be an issue that can't be fixed by the user, you will need to wait until this is resolved by Apple.

  • Why can't I get Applications and free music from itune stores from Nigeria?

    There are lots of my friends who are getting frustrated with their iPhones and iPads because we cannot get most of the applications, music to buy or download even though we have valid paying systems. The annoying information you get is the items are not available in Nigerian stores. What is the way out on this?
    I tried registering another apple I.d using U.S.A as my country as recommended by some 'geeks' withouth success.

  • TS1538 Is there a fix for this? How can I get it to where my device will show up in itunes without having to reinstall itunes every single time?

    To get my Iphone 4 to show up in iTunes, I have to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it EVERY single time I want to connect my device to iTunes. I've tried just using a wi-fi connection and that won't work. It's very annoying to have to go through all that trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes every time that I need to connect to my iTunes account. I first got this phone in Germany when I was visiting my uncle who was stationed there, he had got the phone from AT&T here in the U.S. while in Germany connecting to his computer to itunes was no problem, it'd connect without any issues. Then when I came home back to the states, my phone would no longer connect to itunes on my computer unless I unistalled and reinstalled, but my computer does recognize my device when I connect every time just itunes does not and I don't understand why it's doing that. Is there any way to fix this? How can I get my device to show up in itunes without having to reinstall it every time?

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

  • Why can`t I get my complete library from Itunes to show on my Apple TV3?

    Why can`t I get my complete library from Itunes on my Imac to my Apple tv3? I only got the option for music and photo`s. I want internet radio to show too

    Internet radio is not part of your iTunes library. There is a separate section on the ATV for radio if you wish to use or you can use airplay via iTunes.

  • Why can't i get overdrive audio books onto my ipod

    why can't i get overdrive audio books onto my ipod

    Some find the mobile device transfer confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 book onto an Apple mobile device do the following.
    1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
    2.  Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
    6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.
