Can I unsync my ipod from the original synced computer?

The five number is the number of computers that can authorized to use a single iTunes account.  You can syncan unlimited number of iDevices t one iTunes account.  You need to find one of the five computer that you not longer want authorized for the iTunes account and then deauthorize that computer.  If you computer crashes and you have to reinstall the operating system the "old" installation still remains authorized.  To cover that case Apple allows you to deauthorize all computer one a year so then you can authorize the needed computers.  See:
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization

  • I have a large number of photos I'd like to delete from my ipad 2 however from reading previous comments it seems I have to unsync from the original source computer. I'm in another country now and don't have access to it.  Is there another way?

    You should be able to do this via the iPad directly.  Open the Photos application and the forward arrow, then select all of the photos you want to delete and click the red delete button.

  • Can I charge my iPod from the USB socket on my tv

    Hi, just wondering if anyone knows if I can charge my iPod from the USB socket on my tv No other way at the moment and running low on battery Thanks

    Yes if the port puts out enough current (about 1.2 amp (500 ma). If less it may not show charging when the screen is on but it will charge, but slowly with the screen off.

  • How do i unsync my iPod from the "other computers" because i can't load it onto my new mac

    So apparently my ipod touch has been "synced" to 5 computers and my main one, (a dell cp) crashed and now im relying on my ipod which is acting really poorly, (Like its about to crash) and i want all my music from my ipod to my new mac. does anyone have any ideas?
    Thank you!!

    That thread is scary, that an iPod needs all that to maintain.
    I have one iTunes Library on this computer, but two user accounts that share and use it, but that freaked out iPod Touch totally and screwed up my synch, and back to square one.
    Marriage like that is draconian and bond that goes too far.
    I have 5 computers sharing an ID but this says "sorry, you can't use the iPod on any but one and then only one user account."
    The iPod should be more rugged, more flexible. And stop depending on one computer for mothership.
    Disclaimer: I would have bought a non-Apple device until I saw HP nosedive, RIMM bleeding 1000s of workers and trying to get their OS and devices to do what I thought was not all that hard: store media filles (music, audio, text, video) and play back.

  • TS2734 Can I locate my iPod from the iTunes site?

    Can I locate my lost iPod through the iTunes site?

    Be sure that you have the Find my iPod featured enabled on your iPod. You must also have wi-fi on for you to be able to find a relative location for your iPod. From there visit this site:
    icloud.com
    sign in then click the find my iPod icon.

  • I can't restore my iPod from the iCloud- HELP!

    I just got a new iTouch because my old one broke.  I'm trying to back it up from iCloud but when I select "restore from this backup" and select the name of my old iTouch, I get this error message: 
    The backup "..." cannot be restored to this iPod because the software on the iPod is too old.  To restore this iPod from this backup, you must first set up the iPod as new and restore the software to the latest version.
    I set the iPod up as new, but it hasn't offered any software updates and I don't know how to look for updates.  Thanks!

    What model was the old iPod?
    What model was the new iPod?
    The new one has to be same or newer model than the old iPod
    First just set the iPod up as new.
    Then update the iPod by going to Settings>General>Software Update

  • Can I run two ipods from the same itunes library/account?

    I have a 20gb photo colour ipod and have just bought a new 30gb video ipod. I need to know whether I can run them off the same library and itunes account or do I have to have separate user accounts?
      Windows XP   iTunes 7.0.1.8

    Yes, you can.
    You can either have multiple user accouts on your computer, or create separate playlists for your two iPods in iTunes.
    This should explain how to manage multiple iPods:

  • How do i add songs to my ipod from another computer without losing the music i already have on it from the original computer?

    i want to connect my ipod to a friends computer to get some of her songs on my ipod. every time i do this tho it deletes the songs i already had on my ipod from the original computer. how do i get this to work? please help

    When you connect the ipod and are prompted to erase and sync....just click cancel.  Then click the ipod name below devices in the itunes source pane.  From the ipod summary screen you want to check manually manage music and videos under the options tab.  Apply the changes and you are now set to manually sync.  Which means you just drag and drop the music you want to sync to your ipod below devices in the itunes source pane.   Refer to this for more detailed instructions:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

  • Can i download to ipod using an Itunes sharing computer?

    Hellooooo ~
    My original Itunes install is on a Mac 10.3.9. My Itunes sharing computer is a Windows XP. The sharing over the local network seems to be working fine. I have not yet purchased an IPOD. QUESTION: Will I be able to get my (Mac sourced) songs and podcasts onto the IPOD from the sharing Windows computer?
    Another question: is there any way to duplicate my actual song files to the Windows XP computer so that I don't have to turn on the Mac in order for itunes to function on the XP machine? All my song files are on the Mac.
    thanks for any helpppppp.
    very truly yours

    Will I be able to get my (Mac sourced) songs and podcasts onto the IPOD from the sharing Windows computer?
    No, iTunes library sharing only allows you to listen to music in the shared library.
    Another question: is there any way to duplicate my actual song files to the Windows XP computer so that I don't have to turn on the Mac in order for itunes to function on the XP machine? All my song files are on the Mac.
    Yes, use the network to copy the files from the Mac to the PC.

  • When I transferred the info from an old ipod, broken, to a new one the contacts I received were from all over the place, many whom I did not even know.  Can I only restore from the last sync or can I go back further to get my old contacts?

    I recently had to replace my ipod touch.  The old one had a broken button and would not change the screen correctly.  Apple gave me a new ipod and told me all I needed to do was update the new ipod from the itunes which I had backed up prior to getting the new one.  When I did the sync , the info for my contacts was giving me names and addresses from all over the place except the itunes.  Can I retrieve info from a previous sync or only to the last sync that was made?

    Yes I did.  When installing the new ipod it had to update the software, then it sync'ed the information onto the new ipod.  The contacts were not the original ones, and all the phone numbers have dissappeared.  Is there any way to recover them?

  • I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from A

    I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

    It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

  • We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps

  • I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo.  It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date.  How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

    I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo.  It now shows in information, that the date  created and modified is different from the original digitized date.  How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

    The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

    I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
    When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
    Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
    Please help!!

    I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
    I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
    I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
    I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
    Thanks for all the comments.
