My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? Can I sync my ipod to a new computer if I allow all the songs to be erased?

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.

Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.

So, I have had the Ipod 4th generation for about a year now, and I have never had any trouble adding music onto my ipod until this latest version of itunes came out. Now, I cannot add any more music onto my ipod! I Have grayed out songs that I can't play

So, I have had an Ipod touch (fourth generation) for a little less than a year now, and I have never had any problems with it until the latest version of itunes came out. Now, my ipod never can sync (I left it up for an hour before and it only got to step 2 out of 7), and I can't add any more music to my ipod! To make it worse, about 100 songs that I had deleted off my ipod, but could still be found in my itunes library, appeared again on my ipod! But, they are grayed out and I can't listen to them so they just take up space.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT3819 I have turned Home Sharing on on two computers, but the "Shared" area is not appearing on either computer. What does this mean? What do I do? THANKS!

I have turned Home Sharing on for two computers, but the "Shared" area is not appearing on either computer. What does this mean? What do I do? I am trying to get music from one library into another library to sync with my ipod so that I can have all songs on the ipod from both libraries.
Thank you for your help!

If you have the horizontal menu bar showing (File, Edit, View,...), select View, then select Show Sidebar.
If the menu bar is not showing, dorp down the menu in the very upper left corner and select show menu bar, then follow steps above.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

I am trying to change the Apple ID on my I phone and my Wife's I phone. Is it possible to keep our contacts, calander, and photos by doing this? We do not care about our music or apps. Is this possible?

Photos should be copied to the computer and synced back via iTunes. They are unrelated to the Apple ID unless you are using PhotoStream.
Depending on how the contacts are synced the the device, chaging the Apple ID may wipe them.
Why do you want to change the Apple ID? If it's an email address change, simply change the email associated with the Apple ID. Do NOT create a new Apple ID.

The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

ITunes is saying that I have over 4.78 GB under the category of "other", making it so my iPhone 4 can't add any data (music, apps, pictures, etc.). I'm currently using only 1.3 GB of storage on my iPhone, and the rest is "other". How do I fix this?

Not if you sync your contact to itunes using the program provide i.e outlook..etc

I connected my ipad to the charger and the apple logo appears, as well as small words on the side that you'd usually see on an actual computer. What does this mean? Is this a virus?

I restarted my ipad and now it is doing this. What should I do?
Note: earlier I was recently have power screen and volumn buttons.

It is not a virus. It is most likely a software problem on the iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Preferences crash -- what does this mean?

I have a log for a preferences crash. It starts with

Anyone know what this refers to? Preferences for e-mail or what? Anyone have a fix to prevent this crash?
I updated to IOS5, on the iphone 4s.

I'm getting this issue too. If I go to Preferences->Usage the Preferences app crashes after a few seconds.

My iPod Touch won't connect to iTunes or my computer, and the "on this iPod" tab is gone out of the blue. I can't put any more music onto my iPod, and I can't erase anything off of it either! What can I do?

My iPod Touch is a 6.1.6
I got it as a gift a couple years ago, so I'm not sure exactly what generation it is. My iPod Touch will not connect to iTunes or my computer, and the "on this iPod" tab is also gone. I can't put anything new onto it and I can't take anything old off of it! This just happened recently as well, as it was working fine up until a couple months or so ago. What can I do?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

ITunes says my 4.2.1 iPod is "up to date", does this mean I'll not be able to access iCloud?

I'm hoping to be able to access iCloud for Calendar updates but when I hook up my iPod, iTunes says my iPod software (4.2.1) is "up to date". So is my iPod now useless (in this regard)?

Do you have a 8GB or 16 GB model without a camera? If so you have a 2G iPod which can't go to iOS 5. a 2G can only go to 4.2.1. iCloud requires iOS 5. On a Mac is also requires 10.7.2

Where are all my bookmarks? I have done all the checks in the FAQs. still no bookmars and I can not add any new ones to replace the lost ones either

After number two daughter "played with" this 'puter. I have lost all my long and well established bookmarksl The bookmark tab no longer displays a dropdown list of the web addresses trhat it always has done in the past. just a useless blank page with meaningles divisions.
I have tried to reinstall the bookmark by importing them from a previous HTML file and I have tried restoring them from a JSON file, both of which are up to date as of this morning.
Nor can I rebuild the data because I can no longer add any bookmarks
I have even uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of Firefox. Still nothing. If this is a result of an automatic upgrade, the words "chocolate teapot" spring to mind.
If this is the work of number two daughter, then it is no Father Christmas this year unless you can restore my missing bookmarks to their previous glory, and quickly.
(The bookmarks are still in the HTML file and I could use them at a pinch. But why should I have to swop between two programmes when up until now they have worked perfectly?)

Progress report - Curiouser and curiouser! I reloaded Firefox having completely cleared out previous(uninstalled and cleared our all registry references)
After reload I put the bookmarks HTML file in the Mozzilla folder and ran Firefox. After five or six seconds, it sprang into life complete with all the old bookmarks in place and all useable. I have since tried to add one more and now they have all vanished again!!!!!!!
So far I have followed all the suggestions in the Mozzilla "do this to repair the problem" pages on the web. Uninstalled and reinstalled three times, run various 'repair' programmes including the ones directly dowloaded from the Mozzilla website. Used the 'go back to previous saved data' option and reloadedm the data from a previously saved HTML programme. Done all this more than once, only to be back where I started with no bookmarks, and no SQLITE file nor folder found on any hard drive.
The 'puter is sitting behind a hard wired firewall (old computer acting as firewall) plus a good anti virus and firewall software programme running as well. I don't think I've been hacked but I am beginning to wonder. Twice is coincidence, more than three time sounds more like enemy action!
Strange that everything worked following the last reinstall, only to vanish again when I tried to add one more bookmark

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? Can I sync my ipod to a new computer if I allow all the songs to be erased?
