Can i keep my purchased music if i restore to factory settings?

  Windows XP  

If you're talking about restoring your iPod to factory settings, then that has no affect on your purchased songs within iTunes. They'll still be there along with all your other music.

  • So my daughter set a password to lock her ipod and now she can't remember it.  I tried to restore to factory settings but it still wants a password.  I tried 0000 and that doesn't work.  Any ideas what to do to?

    From this Apple support document: iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the headingBlocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • How can I turn off "find my ipad" to restore to factory settings if screen is not working?

    How can I turn off "Find My iPad" to restore to factory settings if screen is not working?  I can't get access to the apps on my mini pad.  I can see the device when I'm in iTunes.

    Try resetting the iPad by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT201269 Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time.  As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts.  How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account

    Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time.  As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts.  How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

    Yes.
    On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

  • How can I delete iTunes purchased music

    Music I purchsed from iTunes is synced to my iPad. However, there are a couple of tracks I do not want but can find no way to delete them. I have deleted them from my iMac and Mac Mini but they still apear on the iPad. It's no big deal but I like to have control over devices I own and this is an irritation. How can I permanently delete purchased music from the iPad?

    OK so I'm answering my own question. After deleting purchased music from my iMac and Mac Mini, it still appeared on my iPad. However, on opening Music in the iPad, I found that by holding my finger against the track I wanted to delete and swiping to the right, a red DELETE tag appeared at the right-hand end of the track title line. Tapping this tab deleted the title and it has not returned. I repeated this for all of the purchased titles I wanted to remove and it has worked.
    I have not found any reference to this facility elsewhere but, believe me, it works.

  • Can we share non-purchased music?

    I have painstakingly downloaded and categorized hundreds of our CD's in iTunes.  I have always used an iPod, iPhone, Mac, iPad, etc.  Now my husband has a brand new iPhone and he, too, would like to listen to our music.  However everything I see about "Family Sharing" is about sharing purchased music.  Can we share non-purchased music?

    Two Hound Train,
    There are 5 ways to share music in a household.
    Regular iTunes Sharing
    Home Sharing
    Family Sharing
    Give the person copies of the song files to add to their library
    Put all song files on a shared server (NAS)
    For non-purchased music, any of these will work except Family Sharing.

  • How can I ensure itunes purchases (music, apps) are paid using credits which show on the account instead of billed to my credit card?  Info indicates credit is used first but I just bought a song and it did not seem to be deducted from my credits.

  • HT1449 I can't move recently purchased music on iTunes into external hard drive

    I can't move recently purchased music on iTunes into external hard drive

    Intel Macs use a different partition table format (GUID) for booting. Otherwise, the PPC/APL tables should still let it mount etc unless there is a problem with LaCie or the FireWire ports.
    Does it have FW800/400 and USB2?
    Seems like LaCie isn't using the best cases or firmware or bridge.
    This is a D2 model? two drives bridged to appear as one volume?

  • I can't play my purchased music via computer while offline cuz it's all on the cloud.

    I just activated iTunes 11 on a new PC.  After successfully downloading old purchases from the iTunes Store, I find I'm dependent on the Cloud -- which means I'm dependent on an internet connection.  This ***** because the internet goes off and on constantly and my music stops and starts along with it.
    How can I play my purchased music offline?

  • How can I get my purchased music to play again?

    I recently updated my iPod 4g to the newest version of software. everything has showed up EXCEPT my purchased music. It is shown in my music and in iTunes, but it won't play. Instead, it will skip to the next playable song. Any solutions?

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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.

    You'll want to copy the music from your iPod to your computer and into iTunes first.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering some of the different methods and software available to assist you with this task.  Once you have successfully copied all your content back to your PC and into iTunes, you can safely Erase and Sync your iPod.

  • I am selling my Mac Mini. I recently purchased OS X Lion. When I restore to factory settings, how can I ensure that the operating system will still be Lion, and not the original operating system, which I believe was Snow Leopard?

    I am selling my Mac Mini. I recently purchased OS X Lion. When I restore to factory settings, how can I ensure that the operating system will still be Lion, and not the original operating system, which I believe was Snow Leopard?

    If you bought Lion from the App Store, you can't legally or practically transfer it, because it's tied to your Apple ID. Reinstall the original software from the discs that came with the machine.
