Why is the music on my iPod randomly not letting me play? all my good ones are the ones I purchased won't play, my storage is fine. I tap on the song but it skips to a completly different song on iPod but not laptop. For example both versions of Til' I Collapse by Eminem won't play on my iPod but on laptop, same with Born this Way by Lady Gaga

I recently had to get a new windows computer, old one crashed. My tech guy got all my itunes library over to the new one, and all my songs are there. However, some won't play and ask me for the password for the apple id they were purchased under. 2 of these ids are obsolete and I have no access to those accts. The songs all played on my old computer without prompting me for a password.
Any ideas how I can get around this hassle and get them all to play? We're talking about 800 songs that are being obstinate. The new computer is authorized under my "new" Apple id, which I have used for years.

I misplaced my ipad, so I remotely erased it. Then I found it, but now I cannot use all of the options in the settings. I have restored from backup, but it still is not letting me use all functionality. Help!

Would throwing it in Recovery mode and restoring as new clear it up?
(same for Ipad)
Step 1: Turn off the iPhone. To do this press and hold the power button till you see the “Slide to Power off” screen. Now slide the button to turn it off.
In case your iPhone is stuck in an infinite loop and the previous option is unavailable, press and hold the Power and Home button till the screen goes off. Remember to leave both the buttons as soon as the screen goes off and before the Apple logo appears again.
Step 2: Connect the iPhone’s USB cable to your computer but not to your iPhone yet.
Step 3: Now hold down the Home button and while you are holding it connect the USB cable. Keep holding the Home button till you see the Connect to iTunes screen on your iPhone(Screenshot shown below). iTunes will show an alert saying a device in recovery mode has been detected.
Here’s what your iPhone screen will look like once its in the iPhone Recovery Mode.

I have 2 ipad ist generations. I updated one to OS and now netflix won't play on it but my nonupdated one still plays netflix.

I have the iPad2 with IOS5 and Netflix works fine with the Netflix application - I didn't try from Safari.
It shouldn't behave differently between iPad1 and iPad2.

I have the iPhone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages. It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time. You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful.

My ipod touch now skips songs I bought from itunes (only the ones from 2013 to now) and won't play them. How do I fix this?

Hey folks! My iPod Touch now skips songs I bought from iTunes (but only the songs I have purchased since 2013) and won't play them. What do I do?

First try deleting the songs and redownloading them

HT4527 I tried home sharing between my desk top and my lap top. My desk top is the original computer with my iTunes library. On my lap top I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes. Is this all I should see? Not my entire library?

I have tried to install home sharing between my desk top and lap top. I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes on my lap top. Is this normal? I thought I would be able to see my entire library.

Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

I keep putting in my passcode but my iPad won't show the numbers in the blocks and it won't open. I have tried double tapping in the numbers

I keep putting in my passcode but my iPad won't show the numbers in the blocks and consequently it won't open for me. I have tried double tapping in the numbers and then it shows the numbers in the blocks correctly but then it responds with a wrong code in red and then locks me out.
Typing in the code takes a long time which might indicate a full HD.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

HT1420 I song I have purchased won't play on the computer which it is authorized for.

I have purchased a song from the iTunes store but it won't allow me to play it. It says I need to authroize my computer and when I do that it says it is already authorized but still won't play the song I downloaded. What can I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.
