Q: How do I get ITunes to reveal my files on a new Mac?
I have IOS 7 on my IOS devices and Itunes 10.6.3 on my PC. I can no longer synch because ITunes requires me to update to Version 11.1.3. I have tried several times to download the upgrade and it kept failing, a problem I had in the last major upgrade, so as instructed before I uninstalled ITunes from my PC and tried to download the latest version of ITunes with no success, because there seems to be remnant files that need to be cleaned up. The last time I went through this it was a challenge for the Apple Genius and after going through the hassle of trying to make an appointment without the need to download yet another app, I decided to purchase a Mac Book Air. After I was finally able to download Mavericks, then ITunes 11.1.3 and my purchased music and movies appeared, (although it won't let me play anything), ut none of the the music I had loaded onto the PC is available. I cannot share between the PC and the Mac, because the PC o longer has ITunes .
So how do I get all my files to reveal in ITunes on the new Mac? Can I plug in my iPad to sync and hope that it will upload the files and playlists without losing them on the iPad? Is there a simpler method of getting the material assigned to my ITunes account to show wherever I need it? ITunes allows you to have up to 5 computers using your account (and presumably it's contents), however this would appear to be hypothetical. And please advise how to get the movies to play on the Mac. Please help!
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
