Don't want all my music on my new iPad.

I don't want my new iPad to upload, (in iTunes,) my complete music library. I only want it to do the folders I want. I have it set to manual, but it still put all my music that is in MUSIC on it. Thanks for your help in advance!

Have you considered using the Sync Only Checked Songs and Videos in the Summary Tab of iTunes? You can choose the only the albums that you want to sync in the Music Tab of iTunes.

Are there ways to only upload certain photos from my iphoto backup? It is really big and I don't want all the photos on my new computer.

There is a way to find and recover individual photos from a Time Machine backup.
1 - dowload and launch Find Any File.
2 - select the Time Machine hard drive in FAF's Find Items menu.
3 - enter the full file name of the photo you want to recover into FAF and use the Find button.
NOTE: it will take a while for FAF to retrieve and display the results of the search due to the nature of how TM makes its backups. 30 seconds or so is normal.
4 - select the file in the Masters folder and use the Space bar to verify it's the one you want with Quickview.
5 - drag the file from the FAF window to your Desktop.
6 - repeat for each photo you need to restore.

I accidentally hit "download all" in iTunes. I don't want all that music on my phone. How do I stop it?

Please help. Don't want all these songs on my iPhone. Accidentally hit "download all" on iTunes. How do I stop it!!??

Once it finishes, you can go back into iTunes and unselect sync music, resync the phone and it will remove the music. You can then select certain tracks or playlists if you want. You also have the choice to manually manage music. See the User Guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

I haven't researched it and I don't claim to know everything about iTunes, but it has always been my understanding that you can only use one computer per iPod, but you can have multiple iPods per computer. From what I understand, this is to prevent illegal sharing and whatnot.

Want to sync music from brand new computer as old one was damanged. says all my songs will be deleted. solution, please?

Do you have all of your content in that computer's iTunes library ? There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
And if you have music on your device that wasn't purchased from iTunes and you don't have a copy of it on your new computer's iTunes then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back (iTunes will only copy iTunes downloads back from a device) : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad. We both have our own itunes accounts and music match wont let me put music on hers. how do i get around this?

I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad. All the music is under my itunes account yet she has her own itunes account so she can have her own apps and purchase apps with gift cards (She's only 9)
I subscibe to music match under my account but it wont let me put my music on her ipad under hers or even my itunes account. I get some sort of 90 day error message. How do i get around this so I can let her have my music on her ipad?

iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

HT4597 Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in all my devices? I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?

I have 3 Apple devices - iMac, iPhone, and iPad. I am planning to move to iCloud from MobileMe. In iTunes, I just choose to sync whatever files I want my iPhone and iPad to have since they don't have sufficient disk space as my iMac.

Calendars, emails, contacts, are fine since files are small. What I'm afraid of are the apps and photos.
Any reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.

With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

I want all my music and playlists to sync on all my devices.

So I want all my music and playlists to sync on all my devices. I'm not sure if I do not have the correct options checked or what. I have an iPhone 5, a PC, a laptop and a tablet and I would like to make it so that if I make changes on one device it affects everything. I have an active iTunes match subscription but I'm not sure if that's the issue. So like if I buy a song new song on my iPhone and I add it to an existing playlist or create a new one, I want it to be the same way or update on all my devices and vice versa. Like I currently have a playlist that I created on my phone and I would like it to sync to all my computers but it will not for some reason. Also, when I plug my phone into my computer (whether it be my PC or laptop) that I have purchases and what not that are not present on said device and would I like to transfer...but then it can only be synced to one library? I just want all my libraries to become one and sync together. Can anyone help me with this? I consider myself to be incredibly technologically challenged. Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi,
If you have iTunes match enabled, you should be to change playlists on your iPhone and also turn on automatic downloads on all devices
iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Manual sync is not available when match is turned on and in any event the sync is one way - PC to iOS devices.
Do you keep your actual files on your PC's hard drive?

They are not in the cloud unless you put them there. Did you? Have you configured Photostream?

I found my old classic ipod after 5 years and I wanted all the music from it , and it ended up restoring it and everything is now gone :( is there anyway I can get them back ??

I found my old classic ipod after 5 years and I wanted all the music from it , and I plugged it onto my computer and it ended up deleting everything how can or can I retreve them ?

The Restore erases the iPod's hard drive, so the song files are gone.
It is like an external hard drive (if you set the iPod to Enable disk use), so standard data recovery utilities may (?) allow you to recover erased data, like you might from a regular external hard drive.
