Downloaded on a different laptop, wont let me sync
I bought an app on a different laptop, and it wont allow me to sync it onto my ipod, what do i do?
Hi Kristy,
You can Sync your iOS device with one computer only. Or rather one iTunes Library. That's how the synchronisation works. Once you connect to an other computer and want to sync from there your other data is lost since.
So you may wanna get all the music from the old computer somehow onto your Dad's and then add them to iTunes library and then sync.
When you say your computer is broken, what exactly happened to it? Maybe we can try and recover?

Download itunes 12.0.1 and now it wont let me sync
Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync. Keeps saying I need 26gb of free space which it didn't say before I downloaded the update. It doesn't make sense. It keeps saying:
The iPod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library. (additional 26gb required)
This makes no sense because before the new itunes update there was no problem with me not having enough space. I have 5gb of free space now and I had 5gb of free space before I downloaded the itunes update. Nothing should've changed. And I should not need an extra 26gb of space. How do i fix this problem so I can my ipod normally again.On another post someone posted this. It's a way to fix the problem.

i got a new pc and i put itunes on it and went to downloading my liybray and it wont let me check my downloads
So is iTunes still installed on your new PC then? Click the Start Menu icon in the lower left and look for iTunes in the list of programs. Do you see it there and does it open without issues?

I have been suggested to down grade to 10.6.6 due to issues with Adobe and Apple working things out. I have downloaded 10.6.6 but wont let me install. Any ideas?
Yes, simply reinstall from your Snow Leopard installer disc. The reinstall will not erase the hard drive. After reinstalling you can upgrade to 10.6.6 with your updater.

My brand new ipod touch 4th gen wont let me sync new songs to it
I just got my new ipod touch 4th gen 2 days ago and it wont let me sync any new songs to it and it wont let me take any songs off it either. Ive tried rebooting it and restoring it serveral times and nothing seems to work. Also I updates my itunes and still nothing. HELP
What specific attributes (resolution, frame rate, bit-rate, audio forma etc.),do the mp4 videos have? There are many variations in the mp4 format. Have you tried using the Create iPod and iPhone version in the Advanced tab of iTunes?

My ipod freezes while backing up and wont let me sync anything :S
can someone please help me..i restored the old setting on my ipod to see if it will work but now i just have an empty ipod touch..it wont let me sync my ipod because it keeps freezing while backingup..
Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to make an entire new file. It is located here:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory. -
