HT1535 The music I have in my i touch does not match or sync with music on my Mac.  What is the best way for me to sync both devices without losing any music?

The muisc I have in my i-Touch does not match up with the music list in my Mac, therefore have issues syncing.  Is there anyway to keep all those songs without losing some of it?

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was 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 iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?
    My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
    Thanks.

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
    go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

    Why would you create a new account?
    All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

    Yes. get a computer with iTune 10.5 and:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other stuff using a third-party program like one of those discussed here.  Most are good for music.  It is harder to find one for other stuff like synced photos.

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from backup and sync as neccessary.

    You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you.  But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

  • HT1386 if i let it automaticlly sync, does it delete al the things i have on my iphone who are not up to date with itunes?

    if i let it automaticlly sync, does it delete al the things i have on my iphone who are not up to date with itunes?

    That is a different question. So, do you mean you are using a new computer with iTunes to sync? I'm presuming that is what you mean if you just downloaded iTunes?
    If so, then the following support article will help you get your purchased items into the new iTunes library:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    To transfer items that were not purchased through iTunes you will need a 3rd party software to do so. Do a Google search so you can review the options and select one to use.

    Hi ,
    We have enabled context sensitive DFF in Bank Branch Page for HZ_PARTIES DFF , We have created Flex Map so that only bank branch context fields are only displayed in the bank branch page and  as we know party information DFF is shared by supplier and Customer Page so we dint want to see any Bank Branch fields or context information in those pages.
    We have achieved the requirement but when open existing branches bank branch update is throwing below error message :
    "The value in flexfield context reference web bean does not match with the value in the context of the Descriptive flexfield web bean BranchDescFlex. If this in not intended, please go back to correct the data or contact your Systems Administrator for assistance."
    this error is thrown only when we open existing branches, if we save existing branch and open then it is not throwing any error message.
    Please let us know reason behind this error message.
    Thanks,

    I have a Macbook pro Retina display, I have a small nick in my screen that is annoying especially when watching videos. What is my best option for fixing it?/does apple care apply?

    Did you cause the nick? Or did it just appear one day? There are reports of the retina screen having exploding pixels which leaves a hole in the screen that can be felt when you rub your finger across it. If that is what happened then it should be covered under the warranty. If you caused the nick then it is not covered and the fix will be very expensive, somewhere in the $1000 range.

  • The local node entry in Cluster Configuration information does not match wi

    In installing 10.1.0.3 CRS on Solaris 8 x86, I keep getting the error, "The local node entry in Cluster Configuration information does not match with the entry in /etc file." Both addresses are defined in the /etc/inet/hosts and are pingable. There seems to be no way to get past this issue. Earlier I installed 10.2.0.1 CRS on SLES9 SP2 on a system with the same network settings and had no problem. Is there some way to force the installer to accept the addresses given and proceed past this step?

    All,
    I think there can be two problems
    1.
    if your host file looks as follows
    # Public
    192.168.2.x rac1.localdomain rac1
    192.168.2.x rac2.localdomain rac2
    #Private
    192.168.0.x rac1-priv.localdomain rac1-priv
    192.168.0.x rac2-priv.localdomain rac2-priv
    #Virtual
    192.168.2.x rac1-vip.localdomain rac1-vip
    192.168.2.x rac2-vip.localdomain rac2-vip
    then you should be able to do rsh or ssh sucessfully for each aliases at least one from each nodes
    (ex)
    on node rac1
    ssh rac1 date
    ssh rac1.localdomain date
    ssh rac2 date
    ssh rac2.localdomain date
    2. you should create user equivalance on all the nodes as follows
    Edit the /etc/hosts.equiv file to include all the RAC nodes:
    +rac1 oracle
    +rac2 oracle
    +rac1-priv oracle
    +rac2-priv oracle

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1386 When changing what music I have on my iPad it does not update. If I remove a playlist in the iPad setting in iTunes and then sync, nothing changes on the iPad. Any ideas?

    When I update content to change in iTunes then sync my ipad, none of it changes. It seems to be specifically with music, as books come and go as selected.  It happens mainly with playlists.  I have itunes on a Mac Book AIr with Maverick and the ipad is the full size ipad pre Air.
    The only cure I have found is restoring which only fixes it once, i.e. once i restore it then reverts to the same behaviour...Any thoughts?

    What folders are you talking about? Photos folders? Email folders?

  • My wife and I share an Ipad.   We each have our own email address and calendar.   What is the best way for us to backup both accounts (we currently only have 1 ICloud account)?   Thanks for any help!    Alan

    My wife and I each have our own email address and calendar.  These are on one IPad.   The Ipad has a single ICloud account.
    What's the best way to backup both Calendars, etc?   Does ICloud automatically back up every account on the same IPad?  (I checked ICloud, but I could only find my stuff.)
    Thanks for any help!
    Alan

    First, you need to understand that there's a difference between "syncing" and "backup".  Backup is the saving of content and settings, where syncing is the bidirectional transfer of content for an account to a web-based server (like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
    If you see your calendar in your iCloud account, that implies that you have set up your iCloud account to host (sync) your calendar, and perhaps contacts, email, and notes.  An iCloud account can only sync one user's information at a time so it is intended to support a single user.  You can have more than one iCloud account, and you can even have more than one iCloud account on the same device (but one has to be primary, and the secondary iCloud has limited capabilities), but a single iCloud account only supports a single user's content.
    Backup is the saving of your device's content and settings to use in case you need to recover these things, but you can't see the contents of your backup (just the size and device name).  You can backup more than one device to iCloud and you can backup to iCloud or you can backup to your computer, or both (one at a time though, you have to choose). 
    So, if your wife has her own email and calendar she can certainly do that in parallel to whatever account(s) you have for email and calendar.  But if you have only one iCloud account then only one of you can use it for email, calendar, etc.  But the backup of these accounts is really just a backup of the device's settings that link the device to these accounts. For example, if she uses Gmail then the backup of the iPad only backs up the fact that your iPad is set up to use her account, it does not backup the account itself (the content of her account is saved and preserved on Google's servers, not your device's backup).
    Does that make better sense?
