Bought a whole album and I only wanted a few songs and now all songs from album are on my phone but not my mac

Okay so today one of my friends used my phone to sign in to his Apple I.D I don't know why? Anyway...once he logged off there was a whole album I bought and I only wanted a few songs from that album and deleted the songs I didn't want but somehow those songs I deleted from the album showed up on my Music on my iPhone but not my Mac. I tried to download it so I could delete it but it says in 90 days you can use another Apple I.D to download songs. Is there a way I can delete the songs I don't want from that album but keep the songs I want? Help?

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a backup device.
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?

Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone. You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone. This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s). When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone. If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete. Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account.

How can I transfer my whole iTunes library using home sharing? At the moment it is only sharing a few songs from each album.

How do I transfer my entire iTunes library from my old laptop to my new one? At the moment using Home Sharing only transfers a few songs from each album. Is there another way I can transfer from one laptop to another?

Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address. If so just check off your phone number and try that.

We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads. The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized. Tried everything. Help!

We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads. The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized. I've tried updating the software, reinstalling iTunes, using different ports on the laptop, different cables...just about everything. I have NEVER been able to connect this one device, but all the others are fine. I'm at my wits end. Is there someone out there who can help a relative novice figure out what's going on? Thanks so much!

If your phone is showing the connect to the iTunes screen then you will need to reset it back to factory defaults. Prior to starting the update did you copy your purchases over to your computer's iTunes library and take a backup (either to iTunes or to the cloud) ? If you took a backup then you should be able to restore to that. If you didn't copy your purchases over then what you can redownload for free will show in the Purchased tabs in the iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps on your phone, and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes.

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

I installed ios6 on my iPad3 and now all my calendar items are gone, how do I get them back? I tried deleting my account and adding it back I. Still no calendar

I Installed ios6 on my iPad and now all my calendar items are gone. I tried deleting my email account and adding it back in but still no calendar items

I had the same problem on my iphone 4s and before I had realized it my phone synced up with my computer and deleted all the appointments in my outlook calendar as well. I run microsoft exchange and unfortunately my ISP doesnt backup for me so I am left reconstructing my calendar from scratch. Apple support said they had no idea why this had happened and couldnt help me. Not very reassuring.

You can get iTunes purchases back by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

What cloud service or contact manager was she syncing them to? They should still be there and she should be able to sync them back. If she was not doing so, they are gone.

upgraded to 5 version and now most of my apps are missing on phone...everything said it its synced. How do I get them back on? Do I hit restore?

The apps will slowly load from the cloud. It takes quite a bit of time. You'll see your apps show up one by one.

I updated my itouch and now all of my apps are gone

I have updated my itouch to version 4.2 and now all of my apps are gone. I have sync'ed the ipod to my pc, but my apps didn't show back up on my itouch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is possible that you accidently pressed 'restore' and not 'update' in which case the iPod Touch was restored to original software and the apps were not synced back on as you probably did not restore from backup (if you had a backup). Make sure that iTunes thinks it should sync apps as trrlightning suggested, and check to see if you are able to download apps onto the device wirelessly using the App Store App.

I upgraded iTunes to 10.6 and now all of my playlists are gone - help!

One simple update to iTunes, and now all of my playlists (smart and regular) are gone. Any idea on how to get them back, or to revert to 10.5?

Do you see a file Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl ? If so, there's your playlists. Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and guide it to that file.
If that files is gone, do you have other content in your iTunes folder, in particular media and or a file ending in .xml or backup files? Depending upon what you see you can probably recover your lists.
It is always a good idea to back up before installing new software. Some day your hard drive will die and nothing (except maybe $2000+) will recover it.
