Had an ipod touch and an iphone in iTunes. Spouse added their iphone and it deleted/ignored the first 2 (ipod touch and iphone). Deleted iTunes from computer, reloaded to start over. How do I "reverse" sync my iphone and ipod touch?? Do not want to lose all the info.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Eli,
You can reset a Password (lost/forgotten) set on your Mac using 'Reset Password Utility' available with OS X Utilities tool. With OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Utilities tool can be generally found on a local hidden Recovery HD Partition if your Mac has one.
To check If your Mac has got a local hidden Recovery HD Partition, start your Mac holding COMMAND + R buttons. If you hold the keys pressed enough and there is a local Recovery HD Partition on your Mac, you will be presented with OS X Utilities window.
Click the 'Tool' menu item and choose 'Reset password'. Terminal window appears. Type 'resetpassword' into it and press 'Enter'. Reset Password window appears with User Account Names available on your Start-up Volume. Select the User Account Name and rest is simple to follow.
One of the advantages of this method is that it does not require any Authorization method such as administrative authentication to reset a password.
NOTE: If your Mac does not have a local hidden Recovery Partition on its system disk, you can create one using Disk Assistant application available from Apple. Search for the Disk Assistant in the support area.

Use a program like YamiPod to export the playlists back into iTunes.

Every time I sign into my Macbook, I get an error message from Automator; "The data couldn't be read because it has been corrupted.". I have never created an Automator workflow. How do I find out what Automator is trying to run and stop it?

Every time I sign into my Macbook, I get an error message from Automator; "The data couldn't be read because it has been corrupted.". I have never created an Automator workflow. How do I find out what Automator is trying to run and stop it?

Maybe it's set as a login item:
- System Preferences: Users and Groups:
- Highlight your user account in the left pane/list
- Click "Login" tab at the top.
See if you have an Automater action on the list
- Note, you can select it, then right-click, and can then select "Reveal in Finder". That way you might have an idea what installed it.

How do i find out what tcp ports are open? and where do i look it up?

how do i find out what tcp ports are open? and where would i go to see them? i have a program that is asking for it and i am unable to find where those are listed.

If you are not too tech savvy, try using the Network Utility found in the Utilities folder. Just have the Mac scan itself.
If tech savvy, there's always Fyodor's classic NMap, found at www.insecure.org.

ITunes adding another copy "Someone Like You" by Adele over and over and over.... literally every 10 seconds

I recently bought a used Mac Mini which has a fresh copy of Mountain Lion 10.7.5 installed on it which includes iTunes 10.7
Since my time machine backup of my now dead iMac (very 1st Intel iMac) has far more data on it (the iMac has a 250 GB internal HD and my "new" Mac Mini only has a 160 GB. internal HD) So I did a minimum transfer of my user data using Migration Assistant from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac.
I manually copied the songs from the iTunes folder from the back up drive to the iTunes Media folder on the new Mac Mini
Everything seemed fine until started seeing iTunes adding another copy "Someone Like You" by Adele over and over and over.... literally every 10 seconds, as long as iTunes is open and running, this song just keeps adding another copy. The program has been open again for a few minutes and there are now over 100 copies of this song in the iTunes window! I've never seen anything like this.
I've selected the songs deleted them from itunes "MUSIC" window in the program and it just keeps replicating the song.
I turned off in "ADVANCED PREFERENCES, "Keep iTunes Media folder organized and also unchecked Copy files to iTunes Media folder when additng to library" to see if that would make this behavior stop.
I've removed the "Adele" file folder from the iTunes Media/Music folder and trashed it...
Still keeps adding the song....
(I just bought my iPhone 5 today and this is stopping me from transefering and syncing my apps and other data from my old iPhone 3GS for fear it might do something strange to iTunes or the iPod function in the new iPhone.)
Thanks!

By the way, I have no idea why you would coyly allude to this issue, parsing out little bits of half-information. You've clearly participated in the other discussions about this issue and could just come out and say what I said above.
i'm an end-user like you, no Apple engineer or tech. i *don't know* if a specific release contained a bug or not. i'm trying to choose my words carefully to stay in line with the ToU.
if you didn't find my replies helpful, say so. i certainly meant no harm and was giving it my best shot.

I need help iTunes 10.6.3 Mac running 10.7.3 not responding I have deleted iTunes and reinstall iTunes and it keeps happening I also scanned the computer for any trojans and any other possible viruses but the pc is running perfect waft do I do ? Please help me ?

Hey thanks for replying.
Here's what I did:
First I tried the Winsock reset in the Command prompt. Nothing changed.
Next, I tried the instructions on http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. The only other program that came up on the 'Winsock Providers' tab on the program was 2 Windows Live applications, which I can do without. So I deleted all Windows Live Applications.
I did the Winsock reset in the Command Prompt again and rebooted my comp.
Unfortunately, nothing has changed. iTunes keeps freezing at various stages of the sync, then shows the candy cane-striped bar with either the words 'Finishing sync' or 'Cancelling sync', before showing the Apple logo.
Sometimes, iTunes gets to the syncing stage - "Copying # of ####" - where it will trudge through the first, second and third tracks before flashing "Copying 4 of ####" for a split second and I catch "Cancelling sync" briefly before the Apple logo appears.
Again, I've repeated the steps I mentioned in my previous post. Does ANYONE know when the new version of iTunes is set to be released?! This one is driving me INSANE, to say the least!!

HOw do I reverse sync iphone's calendar with ical on my mac?

I think I must have selected Mac to iPhone when syncing the first time and now it's set in perpetuity - I can't even merge my calendars, can only enter it all on my Mac's iCal for transfer to my iPhone calendar. If I enter data on my iPhone, then sync, it gets dumped.
So - how can I reset iTunes to make my device primary and Mac secondary? Or how can I reverse sync?

I found two solutions to this problem on a similar discussion topic.

I also experienced the same problem, i.e. iCal not syncing with iPhone. Contrary to most other users who experienced this problem, for me it appeared after updating the MacOS to 10.6.4, long before I updated the iPhone to OS4.
Now, thanks to janice0927 suggestion, it perfectly works, but I had to do one more thing in order to solve the problem:
Reset the sync history on your Mac. This is done in the iSync (located in the Application folder) preferences. After selecting "reset sync history", restart your Mac.
Afterward, follow the same procedure janice0927 suggested. For your convenience, I copied the steps here below:
1. You are going to be pushing your calendar from ical onto your iphone so you will lose any events that are currently on your iphone but not on ical -- you will need to update ical manually to ensure you don't lose anything important.
2. Scroll down in the info tab in itunes to the Advanced options at the bottom -- where it says replace the information on my iphone and select calendar.
3. Sync, check that your iphone calendar matches your ical calendar
4. Add a new test event to the iphone (the selection you made in advanced should have automatically deselected after you sync'd but check just to make sure)
5. Sync again -- check if your test event was transferred.
Good Luck!
iMac (intel - 2007) Mac OS X (10.6.4) iPhone 3G (OS4)
Hope these work for any of you having the sync problem.

Trying to activate a new iPad mini. Keep getting message that activation server can't be reached and to try through iTunes. I can't go back beyond the language choice screen to select iTunes. Two days of trying to activate. Help?

Apple's download AND activation servers are being stressed today with all the downloads/activations. It might be best to wait and try later.

Hey Blake Placid,
Thanks for the question. If you have not already done so, I would download and install iTunes directly from the following link:
