- You can only syncewith one iTunes library.  It sounds like you change libraries such as changing the computer.
- As you may know you can transfer iTunes' pruchases to a new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- This previous discussion provide info on how to move other music from an iPod to a computer:
Best iPod to PC
- You can also manage music with different computers by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- If you need more help please provide more information.

  • Looking For A Manual ... Any Ideas Out There

    I foolishly bought FCE 4 a couple of days back and I can do nothing with it. Big mistake! Even getting clips into the application from DV tape is not straight forward.
    Making movies in FCE looks like a major undertaking. Its certainly not instantly intuitive like iMovie 06, which I have enjoyed for several years.
    With nothing so far on Lynda.com for FCE 4, I wonder if there is a manual or book somebody can recommend.
    AW

    It gets most people like that as it is totally unfamiliar and at first sight looks an impossible task.
    However, if you get one of the books David recommended you will be guided step by step through the basic processes ........ and then on to the complex ones!
    Forget about making an important video for a few weeks while you are learning. If you do have to make one it might be better using iMovie.

  • I restored my ipod touch however the apps will not sync.  I tried to re-download but I changed my apple id as my old id is no longer a valid email address.  Any ideas out there please

    I restored my ipod touch however the apps will not sync.  I tried to re-download but I changed my apple id as my old id is no longer a valid email address.  Any ideas out there please?

    It might be logical to someone, but not to me. I agree it's a pain.
    How did you change your Apple ID? Creating a new one is not what you want to do, but if you changed the ID associated with your purchases then that might have worked. You would need to sign in with the Apple ID on both your iPod Touch as well as in iTunes. I'm not sure how you changed it but clearly they need to match.
    If it's just your password that is not getting recognized reset it here: http://iforgot.apple.com/
    It will send an email confirmation to the email address associated with that Apple ID. The email address you elect to use might not look anything like your Apple ID. If you don't appear to get an email check your spam filter.

  • I am about to go get my 4th iphone 4s since November!  Up in the left coener where it shows your signal strength, it goes into searching mode and stays there.  Kills my battery.  This one has lasted the longest-I got it December 23.  Any ideas out there?

    I am about to go get my 4th iphone 4s since November!  Up in the left corner where it shows your signal strength, it goes into searching mode and stays there.  Kills my battery.  While in searching, no calls can be made/recieved, no internet, etc. This one has lasted the longest-I got it December 23.  Any ideas out there?

    Both.  The first two, I did use my itunes.  The guy at the apple store said that could be the problem.  The last time they gave me a new phone and SIM card, and the tech said it wouldnt be the itunes.  Just to be safe, I never connected this phone to the itunes until last night-after it started searching- to save everything since I'm sure they will be replacing the phone today.  But hey, thanks for the suggestions.  I'm about at my wits end with Apple!!  Especially since i added a third line to my account just so I could get an iphone back.

  • YouTube films are only playing audio, no pictures any ideas out there. Mike D

    YouTube films are only playing audio, no pictures. Any ideas out there I have already cleared out my Safari history as suggested in another post, this solved the issue for a day but back to square one now.

    I am having the same problem. Last night during a long call using headphones, suddenly I could not be heard, but I could hear the person I was talking to. I did not try the speaker. This morning with out the headphone twice I placed a call and heard no ringing, but the call did connect as I was told they got the call, but no one was there. I just reset the phone and will see what happens. I was thinking of going to the Apple store were I got the phone, but if they are going to ship it off rather than exchnage it, that is a no go for me at this point.

  • I've been using iMovie for a while now to make movies out of mostly travel photos and video clips.  I try to vary the time for the photos from 1-4 sec.  Any ideas out there?

    I've been using iMovie for a while now to make movies out of mostly travel photos and video clips.  I try to vary the time for the photos from 1-4 sec., although most of them are 1-2 seconds so as to keep it short.  A friend of mine who saw my most recent product said that this is too short.  Any ideas out there?

    I apologize for my confusion on your question.  I find that depending on the principal of each photo and my target audience to determine the time frame for each photo.  It seems most people get impatient with viewing one photo for more than 1-2 seconds if the photo is not complex.
    If there are several things that interests the viewers in any one image, they want to look at it a second or two longer.  If the movie of images is a training aid, the images may need to be more than 3 seconds.  For intro's, or a trailer for a training movie, no longer than 1-2 seconds.
    That was a long answer to say, generally speaking, I find 3 seconds to be an average time length.

  • My daughter has an iBook G4. When you turn it on the wallpaper comes up but no toolbar or icons. It's just frozen and you can't do anything. Any tips out there?

    Once the Desktop shows up, then it is started up as far as it will go.
    If it doesn't progress, then something is definitely wrong.
    Do you know the capacity of the hard drive and how much space remains available on it? Sometimes operating anomalies such as this can happen if the hard drive is too full.
    Do you have access to another Mac with FireWire?

  • Since downloading Iphoto 11, we now cannot import photos from our Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ-15 camera. Any ideas out there as to why this is occuring. I can still import them onto my laptop which is running Iphoto9

    Since downloading Iphoto 11 onto our desktop computer we now cannot import the photos from our Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ15 into Iphoto. However I can import them from the camera onto my Macbook which is still running Iphoto 9.
    When I connect the camera and IPhoto loads, the spinning wheel just keeps on spinning and nothing happens, I have to Force Quit Iphoto to get out of the program. Totally frustrated, it would seem that it is an Iphoto 11 software problem.  Any suggestions out there?

    Terence,
    not sure what happens here right now, I didn't mean to be offensive. So please let's stay calm. There are some issues with Panasonics described in these threads, and they do sound similar to the issue I'm facing (somewhat hard to say, as a) these people do not use exactly the same camera as I do and b) the descriptions of their problems are not very detailed). I would retract the term "a LOT of issues". Sorry.
    Back in September I described my issue here
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3308591?start=0&tstart=0
    but then the discussion there stopped. Since we were still able to import images manually into iPhoto (and took care of leaving out already imported pictures ourselves), we could live with this as a workaround.
    Since everything worked well recently on my machine with the latest iPhoto version, I decided to upgrade iPhoto on my wife's Mac (where the import problems occured) from '09 to latest '11 (9.2.1). However, after that iPhoto still could not import from the Panasonic's SD card (rotating ball when inserting the card reader, and rotating ball after starting up iPhoto afterwards even w/o card reader plugged in, until the next reboot). So I re-built iPhoto's database (32000 images - 12 hours). Didn't help either. It worked however with a Casio Z-1000's SD card. Thus I re-formatted the Panasonic card yesterday and it seems to work since then.
    My point is that I consider it weird that a SD card works with one Mac and doesn't work with another, although both use the same version of OS X and iPhoto. And, I'm somewhat doubtfull that re-formatting the card will  solve this issue permanently. I believe that I tried to re-format the card already back in September, when I dealt with the issue for the first time, but I have no prove of that.
    I will keep an eye on it and will report here if the problem comes up again.
    Thank you for your help.
    Best wishes,
    Thomas.

  • Our company recently has changed our DNS settings to our network which has resulted in many of our iPhone users not being able to access Outlook mail on their phones.  Any ideas out there?

    Our company has recently changed our DNS settings for our network mail server, and upgraded our SBS to 2010 Microsoft Exchange.  Since that change,  most of our iPhone users have not been able to acquire e-mail from our mail server.  We have three exceptions are 3GS and 4 phones.  Any ideas??? 

    Speak to your exchange & DNS administrators at your company.
    It is likely a configuration issue on the server/network side.  Event/IIS logs are key on your SBS.

  • I just upgraded my ibook g4 to 10.5.8, and now can't access any of my photos - Unreadable it says. Any ideas out there, on how to make the beast happy? littlebigjimmy

  • My 3gs won't hold a full charge for long, and also won't stay in any ap for more than 2 minutes and shuts down. I have replaced the battery, same symptoms. Any ideas out there?

    My iPhone baffles me. It started doing this and I was told it was the battery, so I replaced the battery. Nope, same issues. Here they are. After a full charge which takes only about an hour, it rapidly loses power after another hour or so. While in my apps, I can keep them open for maybe 2 minutes and they shut down. When I do the double tap to see whats running, the apps I opened are, however they are't. Wierd stuff here folks I hope someone has had this before and can help me out. I don't have a job and cant' afford a new phone.
    thanks for help in advance.

    Double-tapping the home button does not show apps that are running.  This is not a task manager, it is merely a list of recently used/accessed apps.
    Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore.  Has a reset or restore been tried?
    Check to see if updates exists for the apps, this could be a simple issue of a badly coded or buggy app that needs to be updated.

  • HT4906 I cannot enable Photostream on my iBook though it's active on my iPad - any ideas out there please?

    I cannot enable Photostream on my iBook though it's active on my iPad - any ideas?

    If your iBook supports Mt. Lion and iCloud and you are correctly signed in to the same iCloud account on your iBook that the iPad is signed into try the following:
    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.
    NOTE: You mention iBook in your post but your profile indicates MacBook.  Which is it an is it running Mt. Lion?

  • My Cannon HF 100 native format is 50i but when iMovie loads it up it says the it is at 30 fps - for PAL 25fps 50 i would be ideal one would hav ethought - any experts out there. movies in NSTC seem to be without the interference patterns (jiggling leaves)

    my canon HF50 is set to a native 50i frame rate. When I load it into iMovie from the chip iMovie says it is at 30 fps. Interestingly editing it int NSTC (american TV format) I do not seem to get the horrible interference patterns (twitching leaves, vibrating paralell lines that I have with doing the same clips as PAL, )the british format).

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Lots of frustrating problems for novice nano owner...any help out there?

    Have had my nano a week and had problems as soon as i tried to move songs onto it! It would only work if i did it manually song by song, any other way the whole screen would freeze and i had to disconnect the ipod. This morning i plugged it in and i get several ominous grey boxes saying 'The file or directory\ipod_control\itunes\itunesDB is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chk dsk utility' Now all my songs have disappeared from the ipod and i can't get any more on...they appear in the ipod contents but not on the actual ipod.
    Am i being really dumb? Have i missed something obvious?? Please help!

    Pretty much the ipod is going to need to be repair. I would suggest taking it into the nearest Apple Store because they give you a 10% discount for older ipods towards a new ipod.
