Help with iTunes, iPhone and a third party app

First off, I didn't know where to post this, so I am posting it in iTunes because that's where I am having trouble accessing it.
I just downloaded the new remote app ( http://gizmodo.com/5023715/apple-remote-iphone-app-controls-your-itunes-over-wi+ fi ) and I have a couple of friends who have it so I know it works, but I can't seem to get it working with my phone.
The screen for the app install is telling me the fllowing:
To add an iTunes library, open iTunes and select "xx's iPhone" form the devices list.
To add Apple TV, go to your Apple TV and choose Remotes from the General menu in Settings.
That's all the steps to seting up my remote, but I managed to mess that up. I did the first step just fine, and selected my iPhone, synced my phone up with the remote, but I cannot find anything about Apple TV. The only "General menu" I can find is in Edit> Preferences> General, but that has nothing about Apple TV. The only thing I can find about Apple TV is in Help> Apple TV Help.
So am I just missing a simple menu option somewhere? Thanks in advance.

I did try going minimal security (I believe I read elsewhere WEP 128) still without result. So after much frustration went and bought an Express, Extreme replaced Netgear router. Internet access is good but I have been unable to "extend" with the Express-- I can access other network devices, but not the internet. When I disable the various "extending" options internet works fine (probably should start a new topic on this). Thanks.

Help with iTunes Playlist and iPod!

My first problem is that my Recently Added playlist disappeared and I can't figure out how to add it back to my list of playlists!
And secondly, when I plug in my iPod into the USB cord into my computer, it connects with iTunes but then a Yahoo! Music Player automatically opens with it.
What can I do? Thanks!

wow ... I get a headache just trying to read what you just said. I went and read how to migrate my library and found that you can only migrate purchased media.
No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.

I need help with some technical YouTube Settings, third party tools page

How can I add ios mobile Safari, back to my google + third-party tools page? I updated my ipad 2 to ios7 and could no longer upload videos to youtube for my blog. YouTube had been saying unrecognized file type because it's not longer compatible with ios mobile photos app.
I went into settings via the google/youtube help files and removed some old stuff from the third party apps, like blogger-an inactive blog and obviously deleted the ios moblie too that was right underneath blogger. tried jumping through their hoops, add a phone number, verify your account, lengthen your video time, add 2 step verification (which was horrible and I went back in and removed it), add a password for ipad, etc.
They (youtube/google??) have been working on stuff because there is all kinds of new things the second day I tried to figure this out via their help/redirect links. ios mobile was there before and now it's gone, even though I did not choose/select it. But I have noticed that the ipad screen is much more sensitive than it was before the ios7 update. I don't even have to touch the screen for some things, it accepts and goes on it's own while my finger is hovering over the screen.
ipad2
ios7.0.2
Safari
YouTube
Google+

The Title of my post, should really be....I have ipad2 with ios7.0.3 and Safari, I can't upload videos to YouTube because of Google? or ios7?
It's now November 1st. LOL 53 folks have read my problem and it only gets better. I pleaded with Google/YouTube via Feedback form (because they are one and the same now) to please add ios mobile back to Google 3rd party apps and after checking every single day, someone finally added it back for me. Yay! Then I asked if I needed to "revoke" Google+ in the 3rd party apps because some of the help files suggested Google+ is attached to your YouTube channel and might affect uploading of videos? For the life of me, I could not figure out how to get it off my YouTube channel. And the help files didn't take me to a place to change it. Upon checking 3rd party apps, I could no longer find the page they were on, and the Google+ app icon now goes no where.
Hey, but there are new menus with all kinds of statistics now about your account, like how many subscribers you have, what the average number of minutes people watch your videos,etc. Hmm... so I tried uploading a video and it worked. I got the message that ios7.0.3 with bug fixes was available a few days ago and updated to that. I'm back to, no longer upload videos, yesterday it was still freezing on the upload screen, where you add the title of your video and all of the specs, it appears to be half uploaded with a solid blue bar half way and goes no where. I have to close the app after an hour or more. I have rebooted a couple of times every day. Today it says, we could not upload your video, we did not recognize the format of this file. And when I go to YouTube and can see all of my videos, my subscriptions, I can not remove the videos that tried to upload, they are blank gray squares. A few days ago I could edit them out. I guess they are still working on it. These are the same self recorded videos, that I have been uploading for a year, same ipad. I have sent feedback to Google/YouTube once again.
I'm completely at their mercy. I have yahoo mail, so I can't send my videos via email, even though my channel has a special email address to send videos to for upload. Yahoo will not send a video more than a minute or so. I created an AT&T email address today, and it's the same there, will not send a 15 minute video. The upload link on YouTube no longer works, there on the same page with your special email address to mail your videos in, even though there is no email that supports a 15 minute video. My husband suggested video compressing program. I have not tried to upload from a PC, I do have icloud, so that may be my next route. Other forums say they/Google/YouTube are fully aware of it and are working on it. Still 30+ days in...
It's a shame these companies can't work together, it's a shame that there is no answer, because we all have these devices we spent hundreds of dollars on and want them to work. I have been searching the web for 30+ days and no one knows the answer. Hard to believe I'm the only person having this ipad issue.

Is there a way to have MSOffice-Mac on my MacBook Air sync wirelessly (and non-manually) with iWork on my iPhone without a third-party app?

I purchased a MacBook Air after hearing that it can sync wirelessly with all iOS devices. I then purchased the iWork office for my college courses and found out that the school requires online students like me to use Microsoft Office for Mac. An Apple phone rep explained that this software syncs in read-only mode with the iPhone. Is there really no way - besides third party software like Dropbox, Windows Live SkyDrive, or Docs To Go - for me to sync my homework between iWork on my iPhone and MS Office my new MacBook?

Go through this article: How to back up your data and set up as a new device or do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

Need help with itunes / iphone sync settings

The old computer I synced my iphone to is no longer working and i never changed my music settings to "manual". Is there a way to change it on my phone to where I don't lose all of my songs? Or is there a way of backing up my songs from my phone to a flashdrive or other sources? Please help!

The option will be in your third party tool.

Need help with itunes iphone update

When I try to sync my iphone 4 with ios 7 to itunes for windows, I also receive the "can't use devise...requires itunes 11.1 or higher". I am advised to download this version at itunes.com. However, when I follow the link, I am not allowed to download b/c my phone already has itunes installed on it. The download link offers no tab or lik for either updating or downloading any new software. What am I missing? BTW, my pc is updated with itunes 11.1.

Same problem here. It shows up under devices but there is no "page" for it. No tabs, music, apps, nothing.

Help with iTunes update and accidentally syncing phone to another iTunes account

I'm really hoping someone can help me.
Earlier tonight I updated iTunes on my laptop. I synced my phone and backed it up only to find an hour later when I was going through my messages that all of my contacts were gone. I read up online and apparently this was a common problem with the new update. I've tried the suggestion of going into settings>icloud and turning my contacts on but my numbers are still gone. When I plugged my phone into my computer again to restore the backup, It automatically started to sync again. I clicked cancel straight away but the previous backup changed from earlier on in the evening to the current time. So now I've no backup from earlier, Just from after I realised my contacts were gone.
I also noticed when I was clicking around that my partners email was signed into the itunes account, not my email. I signed him out and signed myself back in but nothing has returned.
Does anybody have a solution for this? I know I can't use a previous backup because it updated the backup to after I noticed the contacts were gone. I also tried restoring my computer to an earlier time from before I backed up iTunes but there's no recent backups of my computer. I also tried signing into iCloud but theres no contacts there either.
I have a feeling all of this was caused because my partners email was signed into iTunes when my phone backed up but I'm curious as to why it would just delete my contacts and nothing else?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Help with iTunes/iPhone/Software update

Hi all, I have a MacBook Pro and am running OS X version 10.5.8 on it. However, when I plug in my iPhone 4GS in it now, it says that it can't be used unless I have the new version of iTunes (currently showing version of iTunes 10.6.3)--- however, when I check for software updates, nothing is coming up and it says everything is up to date. If I directly try to download the newest version of iTunes, it says my OS isn't up to date... This is something new that has occurred within the last couple of months. I didn't have a problem with it before. Help please!!!
Thanks!

If you need the current iTunes 10.7, you'll need to upgrade to OS X 10.6. You can buy it online from the Apple store or call them, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE.

Help with iTunes database and Time Machine after Lion clean install

I did a clean install of OS X Lion and think I've given myself problems with my Snow Leopard Time Machine backup and with my iTunes Library database files.
My iMac (2007) had become very sluggish so I opted for a clean install. Before the install of Lion my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 internal 1TB HD was at about 600GBs. I was using Time Machine to backup to an external 1TB drive. I had my iTunes 10.? library on the same drive.
For the Lion install I partitioned my internal 1TB HD into two partitions - a 250GB Lion boot partition and the rest for Lion data files.
Now I have two problems - 1. I can't work out how to re-connect my Time Machine backups, since they were related to a much bigger original drive, and 2. I can't seem to find my iTunes database files.
I also don't want to restore any application files at this stage, as I'm determined to do a fresh install of only the applications I need as I go along, and hopefully avoid the issues of sluggishness I had with Snow Leopard.
I have all my iTunes files in their pre-Lion external HD folder, but that folder does not seem to have the iTunes Library.XML or iTunes Library files. I didn't delete them so I'm hoping they were in my iTunes folder on my SL boot drive. But that drive was deleted during the install, so I'll be depending on Time Machine to restore the database.
Can anyone suggest a way to deal with Time Machine for my Lion install, and a way to restore my iTunes database? I'd like to keep as much of the Snow Leopard Time Machine data as I can, while continuing to do Time Machine backups from my Lion installation.
Anyone know where iTunes stores those database files, if not in the external drive iTunes folder? Spotlight search doesn't find the files, but is there a way to search my old Time Machine backups without having the Time Machine backups folder re-connected in Lion?
Thanks.

My iTunes folder is organised like this if it helps:
And iTunes uses them from the Prefrences like this:

Help with multiple iPhones and Apple ID!

I have my iPhone 5S and my iPad Mini hooked up to my Apple ID. I recently gave my friend my old iPhone 4 for his birthday and it is also using my Apple ID. Whenever he changes/deletes the contacts in his phone, it changes mine. Is there any way to stop this but still allowing him to keep using my Apple ID?

No, not unless one of you stops syncing contacts with iCloud. When you share an iCloud account, all devices see the same data and any actions taken on one device is mirrored on all the others.

Help with iTunes Library and External Music Management

Okay, this nightmare has been getting worse and worse over the past few weeks so let's break it down so people can understand what I'm trying to do.
1) I have music on both my internal laptop drive and external drives.
2) I want to have two libraries, one for the internal drive featuring all the music on my internal drive (and possibly some stuff on the external since that's how it currently is), and the other which is ALL my music from all my drives.
3) I want all new podcasts/itunes store content to save to my external drive.
4) I want the iTunes music folder to reflect which library I'm running (that is to say, if I am in my internal library, the iTunes music folder would be on the internal drive so if anything is copied to "itunes music library" it would copy to my internal, if on the external drive the itunes folder would be on the external drive and anything copied would end up there)
5) I want iTunes to keep each library organized.
6) for my External library I would LOVE to keep all my playlists, and iTunes store purchases in the library (something that didn't happen when I created a new library)
IS THIS POSSIBLE!?!
Basically here's what i did in the past. created a new library on the external and added all my music on the external to it. this caused it to organize everything fairly nicely. I then copied imported the XML data from my old internal library so I would get my playlists and iTunes store stuff to show up, along with anything on the internal drive. this cause MAJOR duplication issues (i have 3 copies of songs now in my external drive which Im going to have to sort through). I tried multiple libraries but everytime I switch back and forth my iTunes music folder keeps changing. (ie. the folder location will carry over to any library - not stick to just the one) This is a HUGE pain in the ###.
Basically, if I'm on the road I want to be able to open iTunes, it automatically launch my internal library which has everything in my internal drive, know that the music folder is "my username/music", and then when I come back home and able to plug into my external drive be able to launch that external library and it know that my music folder should now be "externaldrive/music".
i cannot seem to get iTunes to save this folder preference PER library. is this even possible!?! I just want this stupid thing to work!

As long as you don't have an existing library that is synced with a device or holds oodles of carefully crafted playlists, ratings etc. then...
Hold down shift as you start iTunes. You should get an option to choose or create a library. Click create, browse to root of the external drive and click save so that your library is say X:\iTunes where X: is the letter of your external drive. All new content downloaded to the library will stay on the external drive.

Help with itunes 7 and shuffle 1

the shuffle will only play some songs. how do i get the shuffle to play all songs? seems like a glitch since we updated to itunes 7. i have restored the shuffle, reauthorized comp w/itunes, restored the library. not sure what else to try.

I'm having a related problem.
whenever I try to load a playlist onto my shuffle (1st gen, 1GB), the download stalls/hangs-up on random songs. sometimes after 3 songs, sometimes after 100. I've left the computer on overnight and the stall condition doesn't change. when I try to eject the shuffle, iTunes will lock-up (application 'not responding' in force quit mode). when I try to restart or shut down the iMac, I get the "spinning beachball of death" and have to hard shut down the system. the shuffle won't play any of the songs that appeared to load before the stall.
I downloaded & ran the shuffle 1G reset utility several times without changing the results.
after all this, I thought the shuffle had finally given up the ghost. in a last ditch effort, I took the iPod to work, and on the HP/windoze XP system (iTunes 6 installed) that I use, it recognizes the shuffle, allows me to reassign it to the windoze machine and download whatever songs I want, without stalls, hangups or system lock-ups.
weird...is this an iTunes v7 vs. v6 issue/incompatibility with the original shuffle? I can't believe that Windows is working better than my Mac with my shuffle. YIKES!
can anyone suggest possible causes & actions I can attempt to get my iMac and shuffle back on speaking terms? thanks in advance for your assistance.

ps - my apologies for tagging onto your post, but I cannot find the "post new topic" link on the discussions page. however, I think our problems are closely related...

Help with Updating Iphone and Ipod after updating Apple ID

Help with itunes transfers and installation, please!!

Hi All,
I am currently using my laptop for running itunes. I want to transfer my itunes to my netbook (Samsung NC10). I have already created a DVD backup of my library.
The way I want my netbook set up is to have the programme files on the C: drive and my data on the D: drive. I have already installed itunes to the netbook, but have not transferred my library over. My questions are:
What do I do to obtain the setup as described above? I would like to have itunes recognise my library each time I open itunes without having to select a source as it were. Once configured, do I just stick in the backup DVDs into my external drive for copying the tracks over?
Also, once the above configuration is made, can I assume that all purchases from the iTunes store will be made to the D: drive and not C: drive? If not, how am I able to achieve this.
Many thanks in advance for your help
Nafees

Thanks for your reply Jim.
OK I thought I had backed them up on icloud, maybe this was not the case and had I known obviously I would of subscribed to match before changing laptops. I did back up my itunes on an external hard drive, however I later discovered that I had not done this correctly.
I realise that I have lost my entire music collection and I am devasted about this, I posted on here to see if there was any hope! - being patronised isn't particuarly helpful.
I don't have my CD's as I gave them all away once ripped.
