I have an iPhone 4. I recently updated. It loaded all my iTunes music purchases but not the music I had on my computer. This music was on my iPhone before I updated. I have tried re-sycing but not getting anywhere. Says it cannot locate my music files but I see it on my lap top but cannot play it or get it on my iPhone. Can anyone walk me through this?

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

Music purchased on ipad wont play on computer. I get a message which says that the computer is not authorised to play the track but when I enter the password I get the message saying that the computer is already authorised. I have the opposite problem transfering some but not all music from computer to ipad. Can anyone help?

Interesting. Maybe it is more of a DRM issue than an Apple ID ownership issue. There is actually an iTunes Support section here on the discussion boards. If you wish to continue troubleshooting, you might post your question over there and refer to this discussion thread. You can also contact someone in Apple iTunes Support.

I transferred all my itunes music from my old pc to a new laptop using an external hard drive. I can drag songs to out ipods, but when i try to add songs to my Iphone 4, I get the red circle with a line through it. It will not allow me to transfer music

I have transferred all of my itunes music for my old pc to a new laptop via an external hard drive. All songs are sucessfullt loaded in itunes and I can drag songs to my husband's ipod without any problems. However, when I try to drag songs to my iphone 4, it will not let me. I get a red circle with a line through it. Why would it work from itunes to ipod but not to my iphone? HELP!!!

I have just updated to iTunes 11. Now ALL my downloaded music has gone, and only plays when I'm connected to the internet.

NOT HAPPY. I've Just upgraded to iTunes 11 on a MBP 15" 2009 model, OS 10.8.2 I use my computer all over the place with NO internet and cannot access the HUNDREDS of tracks I've purchased and downloaded and been playing for years. How can I access them WITHOUT having to download the all again, using up my internet for HOURS and gobbling up my BANDWIDTH again! Also, I am NOT INTERESTED in streaming my music, as most places I use my computer, I have very limited, or no internet. Not Happy!!!
PLEASE someone give me an easy low-cost answer to getting access to my music again.
Alternatively, is there a way to go back to the previous iTunes?
Steve

Is the music actualy gone from your hard drive ?
If it is still there then under Preferences, Advanced Preferences is the iTunes Media folder location pointed in the right place? If not click on Change and repoint it to your files.
To Stop seeing all the icloud streaming versions again in Preferences, Store and uncheck the Show iTunes in the cloud purchases.
Hope this helps

Can anyone please tell me why when i put my music on shuffle it only plays a handful (that being 4 or 5)songs then stops even if its in the middle of a song, then wont let me play anything unless i exit Itunes completely and then re-open Itunes????

Can anyone tell why my Itunes will only play 5 or 6 songs on shuffle then stop even in the middle of a song, and the only way to fix it is to exit Itunes completley and reopen it?????

This is in regards to a 4th gen 40gb clickwheel ipod.
Hi, i've also been having a very similar problem with my ipod as well. I find that regardless of which windows-based pc i use (either my xp laptop @ home, or my win2000 desktop @ work) windows and itunes refuses to recognise my ipod. In windows explorer it will show it as a removable drive, but if i click on it, windows freezes. If I try to disconnect it, I cant because windows keeps reporting that 'the device is being used, try disconnecting later' and so then i shut down my laptop to disconnect it safely.
Lately, like you, i've also noticed that clicking sound it makes. It happens when i connect my ipod to my computer - like the drive inside it is constantly restarting or something, and i get it when i'm playing / charging it in my dock. I've also noticed that when it's playing whilst charging, it just freezes on a song, then skips a couple of songs.
I've just discovered the disgnostic tools on my ipod, so i think i'll run a couple of tests (ie HDD scan) and depending on the outcome, i'll go visit the apple store.

ITunes music files will no longer play

Hi,
I have recently transferred my iTunes library back from an external hard drive to my native iMac hard drive. I kept the original iTunes music folder on my iMacs native hard drive so thought this would be simply a case of resetting the folder under the advanced preferences tab; however I now cannot play any of the music. (I have also reformatted the external hard drive as have just set it up as a Time Machine)
Any help - much appreciated

My library draws from a folder containing the music files. I delete files from that folder often
Don't delete files from that folder.
Delete them from iTunes and let iTunes delete them from that folder.

Apple TV 1 stops playing music, returns to a menu screen. Usually occurs after several hours. Reselecting music playlist and pushing start will get it playing again. I have not seen anything like this in the forum.

Apple TV 1 is used exclusively for music playback. The device is often in use 4 to 8 hours daily. I have had no problems with it in over two years of use. In the last few weeks it has started a new behaviour.
At random times but not always, it will simply stop playing the playlist and return to a menu screen. Playing music again requires selecting a playlist and pressing play. The device continues working and does not require restarting or resetting.
I have browsed the topics for Apple TV 1 and have not found anything similar to this problem.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

Problem in using 2 IDs for iTunes music purchase downloads and using iTunes Match for 1 ID

Dear support managers,
We are using 1 macbook pro and 2 apple ID for purchasing iTunes music together (Me and my wife).
Actually, I have bought 1 year service of iTunes match on my apple ID and have been using well the service after download the purchased musics under the apple ID I am using.
But once my wife associated the macbook pro with her apple ID to download the musics she purchased,
I have not been able to use the iTunes Match service I have subscribed already.
The message said
"This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days"
I can neither purchase another computer for solving this situation nor want to purchase another iTunes Match service on my wife's apple ID.
Please help me out to solve this issue.
Thanks and best regards,

Hi,
You can only use one Apple ID with iTunes match. Purchasing another match subscription using wife's Apple ID is not a solution. I can only suggest that you use your ID for match and all iTunes music purchases.

You copy it from one computer to the other.
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
You have posted in the iphone forum.

If they are iTunes purchases that you bought on your phone then have you copied them over from it to your computer's iTunes ? If that is the computer that you sync the phone to then you should be able to copy them over by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Or (depending upon what country that you are in) you might be able to redownload them directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
In terms of your account's balance, have you tried logging out of your account on your computer (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logging back in (it will change to a Store > Sign In option) and seeing if your balance changes ?

I need to restore my sons ipod touch because he forgot his pswd. I can do this but it asks to backup first and my computer has no more memory to do this. Aren't all my itunes app purchases stored anyway? Why do I have to put this info onto my labtop?

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcude synced media like apps and music. Those items should be in your iTunes library.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Why has my past iTunes music dissapered from my "Purchased" section

Why has my past iTunes music dissapered from my "Purchased" section

The iTunes Store indeed does not have any phone support. Try this direct link to the contact forum:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
If you still receive a "case closed" message with no further explanation, or have tried that form with no useful result, try resubmitting and explaining the problem in a different way. They may just not be understanding your issue. Of course you will want to be polite; if you just rant, they may well just trashcan your issue.
If you continue to have problems, you can try calling the Apple Support line and asking for Customer Relations. They may be able to help you get a resolution.

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I need my music back...

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Again, Ronald

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content.
