    I've not read anything that suggests that iTunes Match considers the  computer used to subscribe to be any different than any other computers that are later set up on the account (by using the same Apple ID to add them to iTunes Match).
    I've associated three computers with iTunes match, each with their own unique libary.  All of those libraries were merged by iTunes match.  Moreover, Apple states that any of the computers can be used to delete songs from the cloud.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4915
    To delete an item from iCloud in iTunes
    From a computer with iTunes Match enabled, open iTunes 10.5.1 or later on your computer. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
    Click Music on the left side of iTunes.
    Select the item you would like to delete. Right-click the item and then choose Delete.
    You will be asked to confirm this action.
    If the item you want to delete exists in iTunes on your computer as well as in iCloud, click the checkbox to also delete the item from iCloud.

  • HT1386 trouble syncing music on ipod touch with new itunes library

    I can't seem to get my ipod touch (2nd Gen) to sync with my itunes library.  Had Trouble installing itunes 10.6.1 and abandoned the effort on main computer for now (out of FRUSTRATION!!!)  and instead tried to sync with my sons computer.  It wiped the ipod (expected that) but now when I try to sync for music it only downloads a few songs.  HELP!!!!  Please???  Get the message that sync could not be completed because sync failed to start.  I really can't afford to pay these guys to help with a product that should work so any help would be appreciated.

  • Hard Drive Failed - iPod synced with previous iTunes Library - HELP!

    The hard drive on our Dell laptop recently failed. We had to replace it and completely reinstall the operating system, which wiped out everything, including iTunes. All of our music currently resides on our iPod (thousands of songs!). After reinstalling iTunes on the new hard drive, iTunes will not sync up because it says the iPod is already synced to another iTunes library.
    That library was deleted when we wiped out our hard drive.
    HOW can we rescue the songs on our iPod and download them to our new iTunes? It's telling us that if we sync, all music on the iPod will be erased!
    Help!

    Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Why does my ipod work with another itunes library

    I was adding some music from my friends computer onto my ipod nano, and I do not know why, but it synced like usual, despite the fact it was a different library.
    Why is it doing this?

    I have a 30GB iPod that only syncs with my iTunes
    once a day. When I purchase songs and plug in my iPod
    again to my computer to update it, it won't update
    again. My comp also doesn't recognize that my iPod is
    plugged in. This frustrates me because I have to wait
    for the next day to sync my iPod with these new
    songs. I also can't sync songs from my Windows Media
    Player to it as well, because I've already updated my
    iPod for that day. Does anyone else have this
    problem? Am I even making sense?
    Well, Windows Media Player really isn't supposed to work with iPods, so if you are having trouble getting those two together, it's not all that surprising. As for iTunes not recognizing the iPod... are you leaving the iPod connected to your computer and then going back to iTunes at a later time? If you are, try just disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. If you connect it and it doesn't recognize it, you might want to try a different USB port, preferably on the back of your PC tower, or restarting the computer, that sort of thing. Basically, there's no reason iTunes would recognize the iPod only once a day... it should be recognized everytime you connect it, as long as you are physically connecting the cable each time you want it to appear in iTunes.

  • Cannot synch rented video with ipad

    rented a video, downloaded to the imac. never watched.  download was interrupted a couple of times as it was taking time and computer was turned off.

  • 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes library??

    My girlfriend and I were wondering how we can set up 2 playlists on itunes with 1 computer. We want to have 1 shared itunes but have different songs on eachother's ipods. Any help with this please?

    Set up different playlists and sync only the playlist(s) you want.
    Add/delete from these playlists to change what you have on your iPod.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.
    Click the Music tab.
    Tick *Sync music* and choose *Selected playlists* then tick the playlist(s) you want on your iPod.

  • My ipod says it was et up with another itunes library, it wasn't, and when I add songs to my library when I go back into it they are all gone, please help im going in circles

    Please help, I am constanly re importing songs, I have to re sync my ipod to my library each time i plug it in, and I am unable to import songs from my media player, any ideas?

    When I plug it in I get the **'s ipod is already synced with another itunes library so do I want to erase & sync message
    Even though it is the same music in iTunes, iTunes does not see it as the exact same library because you had to re-add all the songs to it.
    You will need to erase and sync and you iPod will simply end up as it is now.
    It's like of your house burns down and you rebuild it exactly the same, it is still not the "same" house it was.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error  "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

    How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
    A couple of other items:
    1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
    2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
    I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

    The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device.  Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
    Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click  File>Transfer Purchases

  • I have 1250 songs, a few videos in my ITunes library. I tried to synch with my IPhone 3g last night but it said my library is too big. Is that true?

    I have about 1250 songs and a few music videos in my ITunes library. Last night I tried to synch with my IPhone 3G but I got a message that my library is too big to synch it all. Is that true? How many songs can fit on an IPhone 3G. Thanks for any help.

    Look down at the bottom of your Itunes player and check the total size of your library. If the gigs are more than what your iphone will hold that error message will pop up. My suspicion is it that you have some very large video files and those take up a lot of space. To get more room, delete some of those video files and covert your music files to 128, if larger. Then resync your iphone. Also if you are using .wav files, covert those to mp3 @ 128

  • HELP PLEASE!  I am working with GH4 4k footage in adobe preimere and the computer keeps freezing... any ideas?

    HELP PLEASE!  I am working with GH4 4k footage in adobe preimere and the computer keeps freezing... any ideas?

    Thanks for your response.  I'm sorry for the lack of details, but posting a question on this forum is completly new to me, so I guess I am learning how it works.
    I have to be honest, I am a novice to video editing, but I am here to learn so I will provide all the info I know and please let me know if it is enough...
    I filmed my first feature film on a Panasonic GH4. We filmed in 4k (compressed files).  I am about 900 GB of total files for all the footage.  I am currently editing on a 17' Toshiba Satellite i7 with 750 GB of space and I believe 8 gb of ram.  All of the footage for the film is not on the computer, but stored on a 1 TB external hardrive (Rugged Lacie is the name of the hard drive).  I am using a usb 3.0 from the hard drive to the computer.
    I actually was able to get through about 17 mins of edits for the film before I started to experiencing the computer completely freezing up on me.  I tried using a different hard drive, and same issue.  A friend mentioned it might just be the computer is not powerful enough to edit all the footage, but he wasn't for sure considering the computer is less than a year old and is on the higher end for a toshiba.
    I am requesting advice on how to continue editing the film without the computer crashing if that is even possible with using the same computer.  If not what would be my options?
    Thank you!
