I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer.

I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting.  A phone can only sync with one library at a time.  You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced.  To know which you will have to provide the information.
If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

  • I have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
    then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
    hence why i have 3 now
    hard to believe you cannot combine into one
    oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
    thanks

    If you decide not to provide a rescue email address, you can't reset your security questions and answers yourself later in the event you can't remember the answers to your questions. You'll need to contact iTunes Store supportto have your questions and answers reset.

  • I have two separate itune accounts under two different email accounts and would like to combine them under one account.  Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

    I have two separate itune accounts under two different email accounts and would like to combine them under one account.  Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

    If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
    Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
    That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

  • I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them into one. How can I do this?

    I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them together.  How can i do this?

    You can't just merge them. You will have to add the photos of Book B to Book A and add new pages to A to duplicate those in B.
    NOthing was said about copying and pasting - you add the photos from book B to book a, add pages to bbok a and recreate teh pages in book a
    Another way would be to print book B to PDF sending the PDF to iPhoto and then placing the pages as full page images in book A

  • I have my old Internet Explorer-Favorites in a drawer and would like to import them in FireFox

    I have my old Internet Explorer Favorites in a drawer on the harddisk and would like to import them into FireFox. How can do this?

    1.
    Open up a Firefox window.
    2.
    Click on the "Bookmarks" menu and select "Manage Bookmarks." If you are using Firefox 3.6.2, then you need to click on "Organize Bookmarks..."
    3.
    In the window that pops up click on the "File" menu and select "Import." In case of Firefox 3.6.2, click on "Import and Backup" just above the list. Then click on the "Import HTML" option from the drop-down list. A new window comes up.
    4.
    Select the "Microsoft Internet Explorer" option if you are importing favorites from Internet Explorer on the same computer. Then click next. If you are importing from a file of saved bookmarks or favorites choose "From File" and click next.
    5.
    Select the file in the open window that pops up and then click "Open" if you are importing from a file. Firefox will do the rest for you. If importing from Internet Explorer, just click "Finished" when it's done.

  • I have some old slide photo and would like to put them on a disc. How do I do it?

    I have some old slide photos and would like to convert them to a slideshow how do I do it?

    Well...you have some choices. You can take the slides to a photo/camera shop and they can transfer them to a DVD. Or...you can purchase a slide veiwer like I did and while viewing slide, take its picture with a steady mounted digital camera. Then you can load them into you computer and make the slide show and then burn them to a DVD.
    Kinda complicated but it worked for me. My slide viewer was only $29 and blew the slide up to 8"x8".
    There may be a few folks on this forum who will suggest less complicated methods. I hope so.

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts and would like to merge them

    i have 2 iCloud accounts and would like to merge them together

    I'm afraid this is not possible. Of course you can manually transfer data such as calendars and contacts from one account to another, but you can't move email addresses across (including aliases).
    However you may be able to get what you want by signing the second account in at System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, Contacts and Calendars so that the data from that account appears alongside the main account. This 'secondary' account cannot use Photo Stream or Find My iPhone/iPad.Mac.
    If you have been using one account for iCloud and another for iTunes there is no conflict in doing this since they are not actually related. However you cannot merge iTunes account as purchases remain tied to the original account.

    You can re-download from iTunes.
    Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

  • I have movies, events, clips, etc. scattered over three macs, and would like to consolidate them in one place, hopefully in ONE library on an external HD.  How, please!

    I have movies, events, clips, etc. scattered over three macs, and would like to consolidate them in one place, hopefully in ONE library on an external HD.  How, please!

    Try forcing iPhoto to load the Library on the External Hard drive by launching it while holding down the Option key. Choose the Library on the External HD, and quit iPhoto, see if iMovie can see the Library with the iPhoto Videos contained inside.

    If I have an airport extreme and a time capsule is it possible for seamless switching between the 2 when a signal is weak or drops
    Main reason is as I move from my first floor to my attic office and would like to place one (airport extreme)downstairs and time capsule upstairs to get complete coverage

    In theory, yes. If you configure the two base station into either an extended or roaming network configuration, you should be able to walk a laptop between routers and the laptop should attempt to connect/reconnect to the base station providing the stronger signal ... but, in reality, this is not always 100% true.

  • I have forgotten my security questions and would like to reset them... My reset email is an old email and I no longer have it. How do I change this reset email? Someone plz help! 

    I have forgotten my security question answers and would like to reset them. My reset email I no longer have because I have gotten a new email. How do I change my reset email to my new email? Some one plz help! 

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    Changing the rescue email address requires supplying two of the answers. They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
