Why I cant log in on all of my game center, app store and itunes accounts
There was a problem with the stores yesterday which was fixed about 6 hours after you posted this (not sure where you originally posted this question, but it's only just appeared in the Using iPad forum) - it should now be working

I was in the process of syncing my iphone 5c and then wanting to do a backup through iTunes because my phone did not have enough memory to backup. When I connected the phone to my computer and pulled up Itunes I thought I was logged into Itunes (my name was showing) but apparently my daughter had used and logged into itunes. Needless to say it started to sync and now my phone has all of her contacts, messages, apps etc. I followed what had been previously posted :

You should use separate Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime. These services are separate from iTunes.
Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ -- Note: You need a verified email address
On one of the devices go:
Settings > iCloud > (Scroll Down) Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID -- Note: This only affects the device
Settings > Messages > Send and Received > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
This will separate your iCloud content (i.e. Contacts, Notes, Reminders etc.), Messages and FaceTime.
You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share purchased Apps, Music and Movies
See the answer in context
But I still have all her info on my phone. Is there any other way I can fix this or do I need to physically delete each contact, app, and message from my phone (and I still have not run a backup). Thanks for any help you can give me.If her data was not backed up or synced to something, it's gone. Sorry.

Hello tashi1234,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you are having an issues with the Phone app on your iPhone, the next step would be to restore the iPhone. The following will assist with backing up your iPhone.

logged in to iTunes today and my playlists were gone and all uploaded music was gone-no recent upgrade or computer change-why?!
There is one way, however I strongly recommend you back up your music since while this process has a very high success rate, very rarely it messes up with your iTunes, so better safe than worry, yes?
Please read first through all the instructions and make sure you understand them before doing anything
Once you have backed up:
1. Quit iTunes
2. Open the iTunes Music folder, on a Mac this is in ~/Music/ and in Windows it’s in Username\My Music\
3. Drag the file labeled “iTunes Music Library.xml” to your desktop
4. Drag the “iTunes Library” file to the desktop as well (make sure this is no longer in your iTunes folder at all)
5. Relaunch iTunes
6. Before doing anything else, go to File -> Library -> Import Playlist
7. Now navigate to your desktop to the “iTunes Music Library.xml” file that you placed there earlier and select it
8. iTunes will recreate your playlists
Hope it works -
why do I have to log in all the time into iCloud every time in spite of clicking the "keep me logged in" box?
It is amazing that Apple does nothing about this. It used to work before but this function (keep me logged in) stopped working a couple of months ago. Many people seem to have the same problem but Apple seems unable to solve their own problems...

I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in". Could you please help?
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -
When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?
It's very frustrating and I don't understand why it happens. It might happen other times, but I notice it the most when I'm streaming the radio through itunes, though I think it's also happened when I'm streaming music or shows from NPR, so I don't actually know if it's an itunes thing, or an internet thing? Or just my computer being stupid? But how can I fix it?
Thanks!My best guess at this point is a problem wwith 10.5.8
It seems clear to me that sometimes, seemingly randomly, software will access the video card (flash player, quicktime, Safari's HTML5 video player, etc) and it will cause a freeze and then log out.
However - it could just be video card + processor under load.
This didnt happen before 10.5.8 and I'm thinking it's not the new 27" display causing the issue.
I'm going to attempt to find time to revert back to 10.5.0 and then combo update back up to 10.5.7 which may be difficult as our IT is remote and we don't have access to Snow Leopard discs.
I may just have to bring my own in. -
I can open iTunes and play library contents but cant see any names or information in the library or any kind of wording at all, please help.
Your synced music (and audiobooks) will go into the iPad's Music app, and films and tv shows into the Videos app - on an iPad the iTunes app is just the store

I imported songs onto itunes AND my ipad but i cant get it on my ipad and that is where i really want them. how do i find and get them on my Ipad? i tried the support area but that didnt help at all.
Did you purchase them on your iPad with the same Apple ID that you are using for iTunes on your iPhone and that iTunes on your Mac is sign into?

I have moved everything from my macbook pro onto my iMac. For some reason I cant see any of my music in iTunes even though I have logged in with my normal apple ID. Please help me before I kill something!!
How did you go about transferring your library onto the iMac? There are specific instructions one must follow to do this correctly without causing loss of data. Simply signing in via your Apple ID won't do much of anything unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber.
Did you just copy the entire iTunes folder over? If so, Quit iTunes then hold down option and click the iTunes icon in the Dock. Don't release option until the popup appears asking if you want to create a new library. Simply navigate to the library in the folder you copied over.
If you didn't go about transferring your library in that way, and you still have the MacBook Pro, follow these instructions to transfer your library properly to avoid data loss.
Hope that helps! -

I have recently purchased a new laptop. When I plug in my iPhone in, I cant sync my phone, back it up or access any of my music. iTunes doesnt even pick it up. It all worked fine on my old PC. What do I do?

I used to share an Itunes account but I recently made my own through my phone. I have all my stuff from my phone backed up on the computer on my old Apple ID/Itunes account. I want to back up all my current content on my phone to my NEW Apple ID/Itunes account but I'm afraid things will erase if I try to do so. How can I do this and still keep all the content on my phone currently?
You can't back up iTunes store content to a different account on your oomputer.

The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now? Or should we? 5 macbooks, 2 ipads, 4 iphones, 2 itouch, 2 imacs. How does one decide what to sync, share and what not to? Green Jeans.
You need to start by understanding the distinction between iTunes and iCloud - Apple confuse the issue by referring to 'iTunes Match' as part of iCloud. It isn't.
You don't have to have the same login (Apple ID) for iTunes and iCloud; many people don't and there's no problem about it.
Your iCloud ID gets you email, calendars, contacts, iWork documents and PhotoStream syncing between devices.
Your iTunes ID gets you the iTunes Store, the App Store for iOS, the Mac App Store for OSX,, 'iTunes in the Cloud' (downloading of purchased items to any logged-in device) and 'iTunes Match' (uploading of songs not purchased in the iTunes Store).
Your family members can easily each get their own iCloud account to keep email etc. separate - in each case they will need a different non-Apple email address (a free one from Yahoo etc. would do) to set up the ID. If they are sharing a Mac they need to be using a separate user account.
They can have their own iCloud accounts and still all sign into the same iTunes account: or they can open their own iTunes accounts using their new iCloud Apple IDs.
BUT they cannot transfer items purchased under the present iTunes ID to different iTunes IDs. -
Why does iTunes repeatedly think I'm logging in with my Apple ID from a new computer?
To start, I figure I should give a little background... I have three computers authorized for use: Home PC, home laptop and work laptop (all Windows). I also have my iPhone 5 and an iPad Mini authorized as devices for use. I do 90% of my iTunes purchasing from the work laptop. I'll launch iTunes, attempt to purchase a song and go through the usual of logging in with my Apple ID... no sweat. Unfortunately, sometimes I'll get a subsequent screen stating:
"Because this is your first time making a purchase from this computer, you must verify your identity by answering the following security questions..."
The thing is, just two days prior, I purchased songs from iTunes on this laptop! I know that answering the questions shouldn't be an issue, but unfortunately, I tend to forget the answers (Sorry, I work for an Internet-based company, and we use A LOT of passwords and set up a bunch of security questions).
I'm just curious why iTunes thinks I'm using a "new" computer... Does it also use the IP address from which my requests are coming, for validation? (Apple ID Login/Password isn't enough security?) As I go between WiFi to an ethernet-connected docking station intermittently at the office, I can see how IP addresses might be rotated. If this is the case, will this impact the "five system authorization maximum" (i.e., is iTunes adding new systems to my "authorized list" each time this happens)?
In a time of constant hacking and Internet security weaknesses, I figure I should be happy this is in place... I gues I'm just looking for some answers.
Thanks,
- VernHey there Vernholio,
It sounds like you are repeatedly being asked to authorize your computer even though you have made many purchases oh it from the iTunes Store. Generally this issue is caused by permissions or restrictions on the user account. I have 2 articles to recommend for you here. The first is:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
and
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277
And to answer your question about whether or not the IP address changing might count against your authorization limit, no it will not. iTunes uses the computers installed hardware and software to keep track of that. Check out this info about authorization and deauthorization:
Remember to deauthorize your computer before you sell it, give it away, or get your computer serviced. Also, make sure you deauthorize your computer before you upgrade your RAM, hard disk or other system components, or reinstall Windows. If you do not deauthorize your computer before you upgrade these components, one computer may use multiple authorizations.
From: iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling
