Subject: Question about the stupid new iTunes

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

Or maybe it was this way with all the iTunes.

Anyway, I've just reinstalled iTunes on my laptop after getting it repaired a few weeks ago. What I expected to see was the library from iTunes before I had to have the laptop's memory wiped, because the music isn't stored on there, it's stored on Apple's servers. But I just signed in to find a) some new layout, and 2. a handful of songs and albums that were apparently in My Documents when I tranferred those files from my old laptop.

I've plugged in my nearly-broken iPod, which still functions perfectly fine as a storage device, but the controls are shot, and I can see all my music on it, laid out in singles alphabetically rather than albums. How do I transfer these to my library? And how do I organise them into albums?

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Look at the menu options to organize. You should be able to easily view things the way you want.

As for the transfer from the iPod, you will need a third party program to do that, as it will recognize your computer as new, and it will wipe the device, instead of transferring.

iPhone 4S 64GB Black.

Did you activate the iCloud? Or sign into the iCloud?

There is no menu with the new layout.

Damnit, Apple. -blam!- it, I'll do it another time.

I used my email address to access the iTunes.exe, if that's what you mean.

"Life is constantly fleeting from your grasp even from the very day it's bestowed upon you, but the shadow of death is always there, waiting for its chance to take you away."

"Even though many may not think so, ignorance and innocence are one and the same. The only difference is that one sounds nicer."

"I once knew a man who spent his entire life contemplating where we go after our death....it's a shame he realized it a second too late to tell anyone."

I have no idea...I really dislike the new updated iTunes, to be honest.
