Go back to iTunes, select the Music tab, uncheck the 'sync music; button, then hit apply.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Your phone is toast. Contrary to what the lovely folks in the jalibreaking community say, attempting to restore the iPhone to "factory" condition does not always remove the jailbreak. You'll need to contact those bozos and see if they can help you.
Hint: start saving for a new phone.

How do I stop all of my music in my itunes library syncing to my iphone 5 even when the songs aren't ticked?

The frustrating part about the restore is that is seems to be finished when it in fact is not. The restore will look "finish" and your phone will be at the Swipe to Unlock screen. If you swipe and look at your home screen at this point of the restore, you'll see everything is not quite right. While the process seems to be not doing anything just leave the phone attached and do something else for about an hour. This part of the process is not mentioned during the restore operation. I believe there are about two steps to the restore process: 1) restore the phone settings (ringtones, background, notification settings, etc.) and give the user the unlock screen; 2) without letting the user know there is still more to do, begin the slow process of restoring all the music, movies, apps and what not. It's this second step that causes the confusion. Nothing lets you know to wait that process out. I've restored a couple devices from a computer backup and the 2-step process looks the same.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Can I sync music to my iPhone using a different iTunes library

Hi guys,
I've seen various discussions on the net concerning this subject, but none of which provide a clear answer. Long story short, my last laptop broke, I now have a new laptop, but am unable to sync music to my iPhone because it's a different iTunes library. When I click manually manage music, I am prompted with a message stating that I'd have to delete all of the music from my iPhone to continue (which freaking *****). I am just wondering if there is a way around this.
Thanks,
LW

Oh, it appears the sync from playlist malarkey works. Hurray!

Bought 2 albums from iTunes and synced with my pc and now the songs wont play on my ipod. Why?

Purchased 2 albums from itunes on my ipod touch. Synced it with my PC (after updating iTunes software on PC) and now my songs (the albums I bought plus a few others) will not play on my iPod touch. Can anyone help me with this?

Try deleting and redownloading by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

When I transfer my purchases from my phone to computer, the songs show up greyed out with a circle with 2 arrows

My songs show up on my computer greyed out and won't play with some sort of refresh circle beside them

So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
hope others find this useful.

My new touch won't play the music or a how pix I downloaded. It worked once and now the songs and files are faded and do not open when I tap them

My iPod touch is new, I downloaded music and pix from my pc. It worked one time. Now the music and files are faded and do not open when I tap them.

- Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsyce and resync the music
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

How do I get the music from my iPod into my iTunes library on a new computer without erasing all the songs on my iPod?

My itunes library is empty on my new computer, but I have a full library on my ipod. How do I "reverse" sync? I don't see an option in itunes to put all the info from my ipod onto my computer. I see it the other way, which would then erase all the data on my ipod. Help!!

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.

How do you transfer music from a different itunes library to my iPhone? (4s)

I am using two iTunes, one from home and one from work. My home base is my home computer. I have a lot of songs in my work computer that I would like to transfer to my Iphone yet cannot seem to do so.
Any help?

Heres a good link to look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751 should answer any other questions you may have, if not ask here.
Go to your music - copy/past itunes media library to your thumb drive, but I would copy the music also.

I download songs from itunes and the I accidently pressed the icloud back up button and now the songs I bought won't work. How do I fix this?

idek

Did you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup and then tap the Backup Button?
What is the status of the songs on the iPod? Is there an icon by them? Are the grayed out?

I would like my music to be deleted from both my itunes library and my pc file. however i only see the remove from itunes option and the song remains in the pc folder afterwards.

when i delete a song from my library, i am not given the option to delete it also from my pc file as the help section shows.
after clicking delete and remove only the library reference is removed. song in file remains.

Take a look at my FindTracks script. Download it and test it out on a few tracks first. Use the No option first time around to manually confirm each path that it wants to fix so you can see how it works. When you're happy it does what you want select a larger group of tracks to process automatically.
