How do I get iTunes to sync/backup/store to my D: rather than C: ?

A couple of options. Do you want your whole library on the other drive or just media? You can split media between drives starting with now, but this will be a big nuisance when you come to move your library in the future.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

How do I get iTunes to sync working PDF files to iPad (iBooks)?

iTunes is synching PDFs into its books section (I can confirm the latest file times) but not passing the updated PDF to iPad iBooks during syncs (the file is selected for sync). How do I get iTunes to sync the latest PDF to iPad without manually deselecting and then reselecting to force a sync?

The problem here is that iTunes wants to make sure that the songs that were purchased are sent to the same device that purchased them. In this case, you would need to authorize your computer first. This is as easy as opening iTunes, find "store" in the upper status bar, and select Authorize This Computer. A dialogue will pop up asking for your iTunes ID and your password. Enter the ID you purchased the songs with. Afterwords, you should be able to sync the songs.

How do i get Itunes to sync songs/apps that are "unauthorized"?

I forgot my passcode then had to reset my iPod touch, this was successful. Then in the syncing process some of the songs and apps were not syncing because they weren't "authorized". I hadn't purchased these items on my iPod. The window that had showed up said to go to store and then authorize computer. I did this, and the same window popped up and again, and again. How do i get itunes to sync these songs/apps that are un "authorized"?

The handle to the Step.Button1Label gets you the data, but there are several ways to get it into the actual report.
The easiest is to use the reporttext.
In a post expression, you can use something like
Step.Result.ReportText = Evaluate("Step.Button" + Str(Step.Result.ButtonHit) +"Label")
and then the default report generation will include it in the report. Otherwise, you need to get the text into the Resultlist by various means (check the user manual, or the TestStand II customisation course) and handle the report generation yourself inside of the appropriate sequence in the process model.

After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMac it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remember to open with MY choice rather than Apple's?

I did a little research on this, as I found some strange things with the .plist files.
It appears that Apple has changed the way that the plist files are handled, and there is now an extra step in the trashing-the-.plist-file fix:
1. hold down the option key
2. in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Libary
3. in Library, find Preferences
4. in Preferences, find com.apple.desktop.plist and drag it to the trash.
5. go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
     1. Sort by Process Name and look for two processes named cfprefsd.
     2. Make sure you select the one that has your user account, not "root", listed as the User.
     3. Click the X up at the top left to kill that process
5. restart
6. this will generate a new .plist file, so you will have to reenter your preferences.
Sorry for the confusion. Could you try this and let us know-

How do you get Itunes to sync an album that exists only on the iPad?

Easy enough to sync iTunes albums to the iPad, but how about albums that currently exist only on the iPad? How do you get iTunes to import photo albums it doesn't currently know about? For example I have an app that saves it's files to an album called 'Saved'. I want iTunes to make a local computer copy during 'sync'. I was transferring files from the iPad to the computer via WiFi, but at least on my iPad, WiFi is extremely unreliable, often dropping the connection during data transfers. I finally gave up and decided to do this via USB until Apple gets their act together.

If you are transferring photos from iPhoto on your Mac, you mean the iPhoto albums that are available to select under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences? if so, this is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPad.
iTunes does not handle the import of photos from your iPad, which can include photos imported from a digital camera or from a digital camera's storage card with the Camera Connection Kit, or a photo saved from a received email, from a website, or by a 3rd party app that is capable of saving a photo in the same location.
It sounds like the app developer has allowed for transferring photos saved by the app in the app's "Saved" area to your computer via an available wi-fi network that both your computer and iPad are connected to. Unless the app developer allows for saving the photos from the app's "Saved" area to the same location where a photo saved from a received email or from a website is stored, there is no way to import these photos via iPhoto or the Image Capture application on your Mac, which is used for importing photos, not iTunes.

How do I get iTunes to sync properly given this circumstance?

I have a 16GB Nano 5th Generation. Right now, I have more songs checked in my iTunes library than my iPod allows. I am currently going through each song and determining their worth and either keeping it checked or unchecking it. Obviously, it's a tedious process, but I'm one of those types of people.
Either way, the space on the library exceeds that on the iPod. I recently downloaded a bunch of new songs this weekend, so it's way over capacity now. I'm still unchecking songs, so theoretically, a couple more can fit on there each time I uncheck a song. However, iTunes only considers how much it would take to snc the entire library to the iPod. So the songs I unchecked stay on there until I free up enough space for every song.
I was wondering if there is a way to make iTunes sync as much as it can? I realize some songs would be left out due to space but I was wondering if it's possible to have it sync as many as it can rather than waiting for there to be enough space for every single item.
Thanks!
PS: I looked at the sync settings when the iPod was plugged in and it gave me the option to either "entire music library" or "selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres." I figured the latter option would fix it, but then it leads me into having to check which artists/genres I wanna keep. I'd rather just have iTunes sync what it can rather than have me fork through the list and determine whether it has enough.

The problem here is that iTunes wants to make sure that the songs that were purchased are sent to the same device that purchased them. In this case, you would need to authorize your computer first.

How do i get itunes to sync all my music between my imac and my macbook?

Hi!
I have all my music stored currently on my imac. With icloud, i was under the impression that all my music would be able to be synced over to my imac for when i am not at home. It seems that any new songs i buy from itunes are synced across and available on both devices but is it possiblt to sync everything across (including things i purchased before icloud)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The two computers do not sync. It appears that you have successfully enabled automatic downloads for both computers, which is great for new purhases.
For purchases before automatic downloads, you'll have to go get them for each computer. You'll be able to download them all or just the ones not currently in your library.

How do I get iTunes to remember to store music on ext. HD?

I've followed the instructions (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748) on how to store your Music Folder on an external hard drive (my ibook is overflowing with music and is otherwise fine - memory wise - with the music on the external hd). However now that I've done this and add more music it prompts me each time to locate where to store the music. How do I get it to remember where to store the music? any help is appreciated!
Also, I'm reluctant to update to 7 until I solve the problem.

How do I get device names to show on my airport express rather than the device ID?

When I look at devices that are running on my AirPort Extreme and airport express (running as a range extender) I only see their ID numbers. How do I get it so that I can see the device name? In other words instead of it showing 00:11:D9:38:3C:DA it would show Nest Thermostat. ive seen this on other peoples networks and cant seem to figure it out on mine

Things are hit and miss as far as client names being displayed in AirPort Utility. You might see a device name displayed at times and not at other times.
Unfortunately, Apple provides no settings or controls in AirPort Utility for this. Things will not look like the nice Apple advertisements if that is what you might be hoping for.
You might want to let Apple know that you would like more control for this "feature". If so, please use the link provided below.

A newb question - How do I get iTunes to stop DELETING things from my iPod?

I just got my PC back up and running, went to use my brand new iPod that was loaded with music/movie/podcasts from my laptop, I install iTunes on the PC, get everything set to my account and then take a look at my iPod only to find EVERYTHING has just been deleted.
So far I hate iTunes and I truly hate the fact that I cannot just drag and drop files onto my iPod.
Is there a way to lock files so they do not get deleted? Now all the stuff I have purchased cannot be downloaded again, another stupid idea. Once I pay for something I should be able to download it to the same iPod as often as I need.
What truly ***** is I am a technogeek and have been an IT person for a long time, just when I think I understand how this software works, BAM it deletes all the files on my iPod.
Is there any other decent software out there that I can use besides iTunes?
I think you get the idea, I am frustrated and I know it is something simple that I am missing or overlooking. I guess I have to go buy iTunes for Dummies huh
Any help or information that anyone can offer would be wonderful.
Thanks,
John W

thanks
I will still look for a different program.
The other programs (like Anapod) are all Windows Explorer based and thus only work decently on very small music collections (e.g., less than 500 tracks or so). If you have a substantial collection, these schemes quickly become more trouble than they are worth because you must track everything manually or indirectly.
My library is medium sized at 17,500 tracks (still under 75GB, just barely) and I could never manage it without a database like iTunes. If I had a large collection this advice would go double.

How do you get iTunes to sync files purchased on another ipod

How do i get itunes to sync without losing my music

i have synced my phone twice and both times have lost my music. i cannot get my music to transfer to my computer. the latest time one album synced. the other 100 or so song disappeared

I'm sure you know that when you sync your iPhone to your computer, it automatically replaces the songs on your iPhone with the ones on your computer. It is important to sync your purchases to your computer on a regular basis, so that if you do lose them from your iPhone, they will be on your computer's hard drive and you will be able to retrieve them, if needed, the next time you sync. Purchases made on your device are not automatically saved to your computer. Your device has to be physically plugged in after purchasing.
Since it automatically replaces the songs on your iPhone with the ones on your computer, this could effectively erase any songs downloaded on your iPhone that haven't been backed up. I highly recommend checking out this article for future transfers:
Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465
Additionally, you can set your iPhone to not replace your music automatically by enabling manual sync. You can read the following article for more information:

How do you get iTunes to SYNC your videos to iphone??

How do you do this? My itunes refuses to do this... I just upgraded to itunes8 and I still have the same problem... I've already upgraded to the 2.1 on the iphone... I bought and paid for this video through itunes.... so what's the problem??????

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.
