I have lost my iphone 4s and want to use find my iphone app on my boyfriends iphone 3s to delete the info on my now lost phone. Do i need to log out of his icloud inorder to log into mine to do this on his phone?
You need to use the Find My iPhone app (in the itunes store - free). When invoking it on a device, you enter the ID password of the account the lost device is connected to. You can also use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com.

My iTunes library is on an external hard drive, and I was able to access / add to the library from my windows laptop.
I now have a new laptop, and want to be able to KEEP the library on the external drive while being able to use iTunes from the new laptop.
I have selected "choose library" in iTunes, and have chosen the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.
My media populates in iTunes on the new laptop version of iTunes, but when I click on a song iTunes says that it cannot locate the song.
Your help is kindly appreciated!Thanks. Were the settings shown in your last screenshot in force when you added the song that's shown on being on the C: drive? It is also possible that at some point you ran iTunes with the external drive disconnected, in which case it will have defaulted to the library on the C: drive, or that you've run iTunes without explicitly selecting the library on the E: drive. To make sure the latter is the case, hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes, then when you get this prompt:
click on Choose Library..., navigate to the location of your current iTunes Library.itl file, and click Open.
Part of your issue may that its not obvious where that current database file is located. The folder layout on your E: drive isn't the one that's most easily managed - so its possible that the database file could be in:
E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes
E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes
E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes 1
I suggest that a lot of your issues can be addressed by reshaping your library into the reliable "portable" layout as described in tt2's Make a split library portable user tip. Comparing your screenshot with the equivalent on my system (where I have a "well-formed" library on an external drive):
where:
there is just one iTunes folder with everything used by iTunes inside it
all media is held within subfolders of the iTunes Media folder
The way you have yours set up, where the iTunes Media Folder location is set to E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes rather than E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes Media is probably why some of your media is not being located correctly - the extent to which iTunes can correctly resolve locations is, to an extent, reliant on the folders for the different media kinds (Music, Audiobooks, etc.) being inside the iTunes Media media folder. One common misunderstanding (not helped at all by Apple's documentation!) is that the iTunes Media Folder location setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced does not tell iTunes where to find anything; rather it determines where iTunes will put new additions to your Library, in conjunction with the Copy files to iTunes Media folder ... flag:
I would definitely take the time to work through the steps to bring your library into the "portable" shape - there may be few remaining issues with broken links when that's complete but this will be much easier to fix if your library is in a more standard structure. -
Ok so I have an iPod touch 4th gen and I purchased some music on it. I also have an iPad mini and wanted to download it onto there also. Problem is that no matter how many times I try I can't get my purchased music section to load. I get the big at the top where you can select all or not on this iPad and the alphabet down the left hand side and the little loading thingy appears but nothing ever actually loads no matter how long I wait. It also sometimes just crashes the whole thing and kicks me out the app. Any suggestions? I've tried turning device on and off, it has the latest software iOS 7 and I've tried resetting all the settings already also as well as logging in and out of my Apple ID.

I have a mac computer and since it did the updates, my browser isn't working. How do I fix this?
My mac computer did an update with the Lion software, since then, the browser isn't working at all. How do I fix this?
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

I have a mac osx and want to use a magic jack without the computer on all the time.
I am trying to use a magic jack plus without plugging into my mac. (It will work plugged directly into the computer but I bought it so I would not have to keep my mac on all the time to use the phone).
What do I need to get a separate modem. I am on air port express (an old one)It appears that Magic Jack installs software on your system that it needs to run. Look at some of the threads in "More Like This" on the righthand side of this page or look here:

To Clarify above. I purchased a 1st generation Ipad to send to our charity in Ghana. I posted it off from Nevada US Postal service and it never arrived inl Takaradi Ghana. My belief is that as the customs declaration said "Ipad" it was too good an oppertunity for a postal worker between the US and Ghana to get a free Ipad.
After waiting a few months to confirm the loss, I purchased another Ipad at Schipol airport Netherlands as I was travelling back to Ghana this week. The cost was considerably more than the used Ipad and I am now out far more than I budgeted for.
My question is: How can I download the paid apps I had on the stolen Ipad on to the one I have just purchased. I have all the details concerning the stolen Ipad but no the seriel number. Any help appreciated.
HughdalApple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

I have a new computer, with some new music on it in my Itunes Library. How do I put that new music from here onto my existing ipod (which has a ~1500 song library from an old computer which is no longer accesible, and which music I do not want to erase)?
I'm not trying to put the music from my old ipod onto my new computer!!!! I don't really want to do that!
I would like simply to see if there is a way to put the new music from my new computer onto my old ipod without erasing all my existing music that I have on there. -
Have new Mac computer and want to snyc my iphone without loosing apps...
I recently got a new Mac and when I sync up my iphone, it want to erase all of my current apps when I cannect it to my itunes. Is there a way to sync up the iphone to itunes and a new computer without loosing all of my current apps on my phone? It only seems to give the option to erase the apps when syncing with the phone.
Migrate your old iTunes Library to your new computer from the old computer or a backup of the old computer's hard drive. Otherwise, see Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

I have a new computer and want to use it for my IPhone - it wont just plug
I have upgraded to a newer PC What do I need to do to use my I phone with it. I thought I could just plug & play when I accessed my apple account on line! Help
Perhaps you could explain what the issue is?
You sync it the same way you did with your old computer.
When you sync to a different computer, it will first erase the content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer, so make sure to copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of the old computer to the new one first. -
HT201343 If you have a Mac Pro and want to use airplay, this work great with an apple TV set up!

Now like my iOS and MacBook Air I can use apple tv on my Mac Pro tower! Try before you buy!Yes count your self lucky. AirPlay is extremely failure prone and very aggravating to most users. Espeically if you do not have EXTREMELY high end networking hard ware if you are using WiFi. If you insist on going down this road you can look into an app called AirPariot. It might let you use AirPlay..... but again I wouldn't

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?
On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out." Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.) Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
Hope this helps. -
I have an iphone 4s. I have a mac computer and a pc. Most of my itunes library is on my pc, but when I try to add music to my phone from my library on the pc, it won't let me do it. I CAN add music from my library that is on my mac, same account. My husband has the same problem with his iphone 4, but only uses pc.
My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine. We always manually manage our music (no auto sync). iTunes is up to date on the PCs. My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines. He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4. I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s. How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
Thanks -
I bought the iphone 4s about a year ago, he was not new. The seller told me that he did the factory unlock, but he lied. Now I live in Russia and want to use the iPhone with a local GSM sim card. Serial number (removed), IMEI (removed). Thank you!

I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions. -
I have a new computer and want to sync my iPhone/iTunes. But it wants to wipe out what is already on my phone with another iTunes library. How do I find out what is in the "library" before I say yes to wipe out my phone and sync?
