Can you help with restoring my itunes library?
I backed up my iTunes library to my external hard driver per the instructions on the website. I have now rebooted my computer to default settings, downloaded iTunes and I am trying to restore my library. The instructions are to hold the SHIFT key when opening iTunes, this gives me the option to "Choose a Library", when I browse for my iTunes folder which i have already copied back from my hard drive and select this and click Open, it just takes me through to the folders where the albums and songs are stored and then says there are no files which match the criteria and wont let me restore the library. I really dont want to have to add each album back to my library one by one. Can you help?
Scan the drive for files of the form *.itl - you may have managed to backup the media without saving the library database. If you can find the .itl file then it should be possible to fix up the library, otherwise it will be possible to reimport the media (in one go - File > Add Folder to Library) and I can suggest some tools for restoring ratings & playlists from your iPod.

HELP! - An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time....
I had to reinstall Windows 7. After that I reinstalled iTunes. I went to sync my iPad and it says "An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. What would you like to do". I really don't want to lose ANYTHING on my iPad. Please tell me how to sync the data on the iPad to iTunes so I don't lose anything.
Thank you!One of the three choices is "cancel" - just click that.

How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
A couple of other items:
1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. AngieThe iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device. Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click File>Transfer Purchases -
An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time
I recently bought a MacBook Pro, and I figured it would be pretty simple to move my iPhone to sync with iTunes on the Mac from iTunes on my pc, afterall it is the same program and both are designed for the iPhone.
I have been successful in getting the Contacts and Calendar to sync, but the Music, Applications, Video and a few other things give me this message when I check the sync box:
"The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase the iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
Obviously, I don't want to erase everything. Actually, I don't care about Music, Videos, Podcasts or Ringtones as I don't have any, but I do care about Photos and Applications. Actually Photos I can reload too, but I don't want to loose the apps I have purchased with the iTunes App Store.
I even tried going back to the PC and unchecking the Sync boxes on it, hoping this might disassociate it from the phone, but now even on that PC I get the same message.
How do I disconnect phone from the old iTunes and be able to sync it to the new iTunes? This should be simple right?I made an appointment with a Mac Genius and I will say that while it was better than getting to talk to India on a poor quality phone call it was just about as helpful. Sure she was cute and friendly, but I left without my issue resolved and was surprised that I didn't even get a followup from anyone asking about my experience (hence my venting here)
Anyway, I found a solution for my issue here: http://tinyfish.net/2008/07/18/how-to-sync-iphone-with-multiple-computers/
This is a real solution to the issue, and has the benefit that I can do this to as many machines as I need and sync at any of them instead of just one. Hopefully, Apple doesn't delete my response since it truly is the answer to the problem and others might be looking for the same solution. -
Can you help with rematching file names
After a computer crash needed to reload my library. When doing this I accidently clicked the option to add track numbers to song names.
Later I was able to locate my iTunes XML from my old PC, however many of the songs (5000 out of 6000) no don't match because the original song name has been changed since my stupid error caused the files names to get the song number in front of them.
Anybody have any tips for matching the filenames back up. In my original library some files had track numbers in front and some did not. How can I match them back up. I'm comfortable programming and modifying the iTunes XML but I can't figure out a good way to list out the contents of my hard drive to do the actual matching.
TonyBecause this forum software is so absolutely USELESS now, you don't get to see the whole of the question in this view. In the other (non-list) view it says:
"can you help with a technical problem with the stereo imagery option ? it won't take out lead vocal in a stereo mp3"
And the answer is that if you can't isolate the vocal in the stereo field, or it is one of these odd ones where it's used inverted polarity in different parts of the stereo signal for the same vocal, then you won't be able to. But without a sample, it's impossible to tell. If you can post a link to one, that might help. It has to be external to this site though - Adobe in their infinite wisdom don't allow the posting of audio files on their audio U2U forum. Helpful, that, isn't it? -
HT4623 can you help me restore my iphone
can you help me restore my iphone 5s to my own setting coz trying to transfer my photos to mycomputer last night but by mistaake the seeting and all the contacts was totally gone and the restored account and contacts on myphone rightnow was the contacys and seeting of my nephew..so can you help me restore everything to my phone?
Did you back up to iCloud as well?. If so, restore that backup:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings > reactivate phone > follow prompts to restore iCloud backups
Backups overwrite prior the backup. The only ones that are saved are those done during a major update or restore (as part of the process when prompted) If your iTunes backup was overwitted, it's gone unless you baked up your computer before this happened.

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

I bought a MAC for the first time and plugged my Itouch into it to download my music on it, but is says The iPod “Rick's IPOD” is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. What should I do?
Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

Do you have a reason to update?

Barbara Brundage, can you help with PS Elements 11 and Epson R2000 printer issue?
Seeking help with PS Elements 11 which does not work with Epson r2000 printer. Epson tech support could not fix, said it is PS e11 problem. Receive prompt on PS e11 screen when I try to print stating "not compatible or settings are not correct. Have set PS to manage color and printer manages color to off. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.
Hi,
Sincerely appreciate your help. Running Windows 7 on a Dell XPS420. System has been very stable for years. Before purchasing the Epson r2000, I owned an r1800 which was an excellent printer but after seven years started to exhibit paper feed problems. The r1800 worked with all applications and I was well satisfied with the saturation, contrast, etc. printing mostly 8x10 and 11x17 prints.
Thank you for the information about the # of installs for PS E11, will try uninstall/reinstall this morning.
Will let you know how things go.
