Getting annoyed about iTunes and authorisation

I had to deliver my Macbook in to an authorised dealer and service station for service. they changed motherboard and hard disk and now I am no longer authorised to listen to the music I have bought at an earlier stage. I am getting really tired of authorising and authorising and still not being allowed to play my own music!
Please help!

If it helps, I was in a similar situation a few moments ago. (The motherboard was changed last week.) When I tried to play purchased music, I was told to authorise the computer. (Hmmmm.) In the end, I had to deauthorise and reauthorise to get it to accept me.
However, it still thinks I have two authorised computers... (And it won't, of course, tell me what they are. Makes you wonder how they keep tabs, really.)
So, I would suggest deauthorising twice in a row then reauthorising.

There is no other way than to plug into a computer to restore the phone. You can use another computer to do so, but in case you did not back up to iCloud your data and settings will be gone.
Follow this article to connect in recovery mode:

I have been getting errors in Itunes and it said to redownload it. I started to download and get a error that says "Service 'apple mobile device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services" .
What does this mean and how do I verify what they are asking me to verify???

If your phone isn't being recognized by your computer, you need to follow the steps in this article to resolve that
Also, some basic isolation needs to be done. Does it show up in itunes on any other computers? do you have other cords you can test with to see if it might be the cord? if the phone doesn't show up on any computers, it's likely your phone has a hardware issue

The computer with my iTunes on it broke and I am trying to use my girlfriends computer to get onto my iTunes and put new music on it. How do I do this without erasing my music that is already on the iPod?

Hi, I no longer have the computer that I had used with my ipod. It was broken about a year ago. I haven't used my ipod in a very long time, but came across it the other day and want to use it again. I live with my girlfriend now and we use the same computer. She has her itunes on the computer already. I wanted to figure out how I can get both our ipods and itunes to work on the computer and not earse my music that is on my ipod??

You can Only Sync to one iTunes Library at a time.

Switching from PC laptop to MacBook--what about iTunes and iPod

I've been using a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop for a couple of years, and have an iTunes account and a 60G iPod video set up to sync with it.
But now I'm getting a MacBook laptop and will get rid of the PC laptop.
Big questions loom:
- I set my iPod up for Windows. How do I change the setup to Mac?
- How do I move my iTunes library from the PC to the Mac?
- What else do I need to know?
Thanks!

When you connect your iPod to the new MacBook it won't automatically erase it. Instead you'll be told the iPod is synced to a different computer and ask if you want to sync it to the MacBook. Click on cancel. Your iPod isn't erased.
Now head over to your favorite download site versiontracker.com is good and search on 'iPod'. You'll find several freeware and shareware programs that'll transfer your songs to the MacBook. Use one.

New iPod owner - Quick question about iTunes and iPod

Hey everyone. I just bought the new 5.5G black 30GB.
I have a lot of untagged MP3s, but my boyfriend tagged most of them. After I overwrite the untagged files (but with the same filename) with the tagged files, now that I have all of my music on iTunes and on my iPod, how do I get iTunes to do a mass refresh and see all the tags, so it can show them properly and update the iPod accordingly?
Also, my new ipod keeps crashing! It keeps freezing when I hit the skip button or try to do something when it's loading a video or a song. It just seems really unstable. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

oh sorry i misunderstood you
this is from i-tunes help - is this any good
Song titles look scrambled after importing from another application
If a song's title and information don't appear correctly, the file was probably created using a program that stores information in a different way from iTunes. You may be able to resolve the problem by reversing the Unicode characters in the song tags.
To reverse the Unicode characters:
Select the song and choose Advanced > Convert ID3 Tags.
To select multiple adjacent songs, press the Shift key while you click the song titles. To select multiple songs that are not adjacent, press the Control key and click.
Click Reverse Unicode.
To change the information back to what you had before, choose Reverse Unicode again.

How to get information about connections and calls?

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if there's a way to get informations like time spent and bytes transfered from connections* and callings made from the cellphone, not just from a midlet application?
* Any type of connections like WAP, SMS, GPRS.
tks

As far as getting the time it takes, as i've previously seen responded to this type of problem you can get the time before and after the event that took place and do a subtraction to calculate the time it took.

I have a new ipad but cannot download from ITunes as I am asked to authorize the device . I cannot find where I go to do this . Apple gives the instruction ' go to iTunes and authorise' . Please help

I have anew ipad but my iTunes is on my old device . I cannot download anything from iTunes onto my new device until I have authorized it . iTunes advice is ' go to iTunes and find AUTHORIZE'. I cannot find this . Please help.

If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

Confused about iTunes and home sharing

My family of 4 has been using iTunes for a number of years with our iPhones (4 iPhones) but this home sharing has me confused and maybe I have been doing things wrong. Right now we have four different PCs, iTunes is installed on each computer. Each computer has it's own library. Each iPhone is synced with a different PC with its own library. Each of us have our own iTunes account with a different email address (so 4 different accounts), the two kids have their own credit card associated with their own accounts (I do not want to pay for their purchases), my wife and I have the same credit card with our two different accounts.
So when I try to set up home sharing it wants me to put my wife's account into the home sharing on my machine and her machine so does that mean you can only share across one account? So she could not see items on my machine but I could access items on her machine? Does that mean the kids cannot share their purchases with both of us via home sharing? Perhaps my wife and I should start sharing the same iTunes account since the money comes from the same credit card.
In the future I may purchase a laptop in addition to my desktop. So I would install iTunes on it and it would start with a different library than my desktop (although I believe I could copy the desktop library to the laptop initially) Does the laptop need a different iTunes account or could it keep the same one that I have on my desktop? How do I easy keep the libraries in sync and can I sync my iPhone with either my desktop or laptop and not get the iPhone or me confused.
Please help thanks

The iTunes/AppleTV/iOS comms system does seem to get easily confused at times even when it's worked peefectly for months.
I've never felt these services which detect each other automatically are particularly good at re-establishing lost connections without restarting one or several components and as you suggest may be linked to IP addresses changing and devices still looking for each other on old IP addresses which have changes.
Try restarting the Time Capsule - I had issues out of the blue last year, iTunes restart helped temporarily but the fix was a router power down and reboot (it had been on for months).
Recently since 5.3, one of my AppleTV 3's has been very flaky with wifi - drops Home Sharing while loading a film then instantly finds it again once the film has stopped - wifi strength listed as full strength - might be interference but ethernet has fixed it for now.

Have used 1 computer to sync my iphone 5 but today I get message about itunes erasing everything because I am synced with other library. what's up with that?

My Toshiba Satellite is all I have ever used to sync my iPhone 5. I don't know what is going on today but iTunes seems to think I am "synced" with another computer. I have a couple of hours of voice memos that I would hate to lose but iTunes asks if I want to "erase and sync with this Itunes library". If it weren't for the voice memos I'd do it since all the other data is stored in itunes. What can I do? I've restarted both devices thinking it might help with no luck. Is there a way to remove the memos without itunes. The smallest memo is about 45 min long on up to 2 hrs +.

I'm guessing this is a problem unique to me as there have been no replies at all... Thanks a bunch folks
