A Friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use my library.  Want to sync my Ipad and Iphone to My library.

I believe when you plug her old iPhone in to your computer it will notify you that the phone is synced with another library and ask if you want to register it with your library.  At least this is how iPods work.  I'm not sure about iPhones.  If you want to actually use the phone as your own you may need to go through AT&T.
If you're just looking to use the iPhone as an iPod (without the phone portion of it) you may run in to some problems.  The iPhone really wants to be on a cell network all the time.  I think you'd have to jailbreak it to get it to work properly as an iPod.
Let us know what happens when you plug the phone in to your computer.

    How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

    Copy the iTunes folder (Mac: Home\Music or PC: My Music) to the same location on the new computer. If an iTunes folder already exists on the new computer (it will on a Mac) replace it with one you copied.

    If by "iTunes logo" you mean the image below, you need to connect your phone to iTunes and follow that directions that appear (which will probably tell you that you need to restore your phone).

  • How can I remove the photo library from my mini iPad (6.1 GB) to regain storage for essential applications?

    I have tried the work around recommended on YouTube of creating a blank folder on my PC and syncing my photos on the mini iPad to that folder but it has not worked. I badly need the 6.1 GB as I use my mini iPad for meetings and I cant get my notetaking apps to work any more! I have removed everything else I can find that is dispensable. Thanks for your advice.

    You probably need to run your movies thru a piece of software called "Handbrake" on your PC. You can remove closed captioning and only have the language you want.  Plus it will produce the output suitable for viewing on any Apple device.
    Google it.

  • How can I store my iTunes library on my new iPhone 6 rather than access it remotely through iCloud?

    My old iPhone actually stored my iTunes music library so I could play it on my sonos system. the new iPhone 6 stores it remotely on iCloud which is not supported by sonos. Means I can only use my iPhone to control my music through my iMac meaning it has to be on all the time- a real pain!
    Any help to overcome this would be brilliant

  • How can I move my iTunes library from one Mac to another?

    I recently purchased a new 13" MacBook Air to replace my older 17" MacBook Pro. 
    How can I move my iTunes library to my new MBA? 
    I also plan on purchasing a new iPhone in the next month or so.  Can I move my songs from my iPod to that too?

    Easy. Copy it from the old Mac to the new one.
    There are a variety of techniques including Setup Assistant (as soon as you get your new MacBook Air, it will ask you if you want to transfer information from another computer), Migration Assistant (if you elect to transfer information later), enabling file sharing between the two computers, or copying your music to a flash drive or other storage device followed by importing it to iTunes.
    iTunes: How to move your music from one computer to another
    Once your music library and everything else you want to transfer from the MacBook Pro resides on the new MBA, sync your iPod to the MBA. Sync the iPhone too when you get it, and they will both have identical iTunes music libraries.

      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.

      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

    With your new computer, you'll download a fresh copy of iTunes and then authorize iTunes using your Apple ID and Password.  Read the following link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    You can then connect your iPad to your new computer via USB cable and transfer your purchases (do not connect your iPad until you have authorized the computer.  The music you had in your old iTunes account will not be in your new account as music is stored in a file on your hard drive, which you said has crashed.

  • How can i transfer my itunes library from my ipod to my laptop

    how can i transfer my itunes library from my ipod to a new laptop

    3 things you need to transfer music from iPod to itunes: iPod, computer, iTunes.
    step 1 connect your ipod to your computer via the white USB cable.
    step 2 open My Computer, or just Computer from the start menu and look for the ipod drive. It should be in the (F:) drive. You will see the ipod logo in the listing of disk drives.
    step 3 Now you should have a new folder called ipod_control. Open that folder up and you should see the following: Calendar, Contacts, ipod_control, notes, photos, ect. If you are trying to save all of your music then the ipod_control folder is the only one you need to worry about.
    step 3 Open the ipod_control folder then open the music folder. Copy each one of those folders (should look similar to these: F00, F01 ...) onto your computer.
    step 3 Open itunes and insert the new folder you created on your computer's desktop into: library ---> Music

  • How can I "refresh" my iTunes Library?

    How can I "refresh" my iTunes Library? I recently moved my library to an external and made the source folder change in preferences. My library now shows all exclamations asking me to locate the files. What is the quick fix to locate or "refresh" all?

    Michael,
    Your response here seems exaclty like the answer that I need.  My logic board broke and I had to get a new one.  Sent to Apple and all is working again.  I didn't have an super recent time machine back up....my last one was 2 months old.  I was able to salvage my music from the computer before sending in for repair and when I got it back, I reloaded my music file onto my machine.  I use iTunes match so maybe that kept many of my files/playlists etc in order.  But my iTunes is asking me to download many songs that are showing in iTunes and are in a folder in iTunes.  These are songs I downloaded during that 2 month break between time machine backups.  I think a refresh will fix this issue.  But when I follow your steps above, I not certain what file to choose.  I tried to go to my itunes ---> itunes media ---> music but that doesn't work.  Do I need to choose the "iTuens Library.itl" file?  I use my playlists for my job so I don't want to just guess here and lose everything.  I did do a backup of my playlists so hopefully I'm protected if something happens but just want a bit more guidance on this.  Thank you for your help and your time and let me know if you have any questions. 
    Best,
    Kirk
