My parents and I share itunes and their music keeps downlaoding onto my laptop and phone, is there any way to prevent this from happening?
My parents were too lazy and didnt know how to create their own itunes account. so I was wondering if either 1)there was a way to stop their music from geting on my laptop and phone,or 2) a way to transfer my perchases to a new itunes account. If anyone has any ideas besides burning everything to discs I'd love to hear it.
Hey there 79usma79!
I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:

I had to hard reboot my computer again, which is a rare occurance and the previous time and this time I noticed that all of my music from CDs was missing and all of my playlists were gone. I can go back and reimport them, but that takes a long time because I have over 100 playlists because that is how I like my music organized. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening and is there a way to speed up the process by transferring them directly from my ipod touch? Thank you.

I have a new laptop, and have copied over my existing itunes libary, but when i connect my ipad, and go to update the software to the new version it warns me that it will wipe all my apps etc..... How can i stop this from happening and make my new laptop the "home" for my ipad??
Any help gratefully received! :-)Macs use an application called Migration Assistant to copy material from the old Mac to the new one. The macs are connected together and each runs Migration Assistance and the user chooses what stuf to copy onto the new Mac.
Unfortunately I do not know how to do this between pcs or between a Mac and a Pf or even if it's even possible. -
Is there a way to prevent this from happening everytime I connect my ipod to itunes?
Every time I sync my my iPod 5th gen to iTunes all my previous purchased on iTunes doubles on my iPod. Before if I have everything already on there it re-syncs and most song double but it's complete radon each time, if it is not all of them to.
First
Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library - Apple Support
Duplicate songs on my iPod Touch
then
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>Manage 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in there are 500-600 episodes and I have to delete each one manually. Is there a way to stop this from happening or is there a way to delete all at once. It's getting very frustrating.
Had all these issues. Bit the bullet and downloaded the Downcast App ($1.99). Much better expereince and a lot more features. Sad.

i have my daughters iphone 3, i want to use it as an i-pod, but it keeps receiving messages from some her friends is there a way to stop this from happening, please help, my phone is maxed out and would really like the storage for music, thanks
It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

I have a MacBook Pro. When surfing the web it will eventually slow to a crawl. When this occurs, there will be a small multi-colored wheel spinning until my latest command is handled. What is causing this and is there a way that I can modify or prevent this from happening? Is there a setting that will prevent this?
When you next have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -

I've been sent HD footage in MTS format and converted it to Mp4 for editing in FCE. It looks good in FCE but when I export the movie, the quality is noticably diminished. Is there any way I can prevent FCE from lowering the quality on export?
Thanks.>I use Foxreal video converter for Mac to convert the MTS using the Apple intermediate codec setting and the problem is that I don't get image, just audio
My thought would be to NOT use Foxreal video converter.
Use MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap.

I inadvertently hit a key whild viewing a note portion of a contact and the note was deleted. This change was immediately propagated to icloud and to all of my devices. Is there any way to suppress changes until you are ready to sync them?
No, it's done exactly what it is intended to do.
Syncing of notes (contacts, calendars, etc) via iCloud is instantaneous across all connected devices. -
Im not sure what to do with this and I looked on other discussion boards to see if anyone knew how to do this, and couldnt figure out how. can anyone figure this out?

I would like to designate a single device to control the Apple TV, but anytime another device enters and logs on it takes over the display and whatever is on that screne appears. Is there a way to set the Apple TV so this does not happen?
Glen beck is a conservative news commentator , he now has a tv Chanel broadcasted only by the Internet, is is GBTV I get it on ROKU. I cannot get that or FOX NEWS or CNET on my new apple TV. Love the new device with the exception of my missing networks. By the way, thanks for the remote advice it works great.

I don't mind that Muse does this upon uploading my website, but once my text becomes an image on my site, it creates a light halo around my text making it fuzzy. Is there a way to prevent Muse from changing my text into images?
Hello,
I believe you are using System fonts for the text in the site. I would suggest you to use either Web safe fonts or use self hosted font options.
Please refer to the links below to understand how to work with them.

ITunes keeps removing music from my library! Is there any way to get this to stop?
For the last three years or so iTunes intermittently removes parts of my library. I'm so sick of dealing with this! I'm beginning to intensely dislike Apple. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to what it's removing and I don't think it's the same songs every time. Is there any way to remedy this from happening so often?
Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives ? If not then you could have a look to see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893
