Hi bought an Ipod and a friend put music on it for me but will I lose the music if I sync it with my own computer?

A friend has put music on my IPOD but now I would like to add more from my own PC. Will I lose all the original music if I erase and sync?

OK.
Same thing.
When you buy a cd you DO NOT buy the right to distribute that music to others - this is stealing and is not legal.
You have no legal right to the music.
Sorry.

That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. There was a problem with the update. So connect the iPad to your computer and restore your iPad.

If that does not work you will need recovery mode. You can read about it here.

Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can't see my membership status, and I don't get 2x points for purchases, but I do see the discount

Hi,
I have Gamer's Club Unlocked on My Best Buy account (bought 2 memberships last month - 4 years worth) and I do see the discount that I receive on new and used games when I add them to my cart, BUT it doesn't show the 2x rewards (e.g. for a $23.99 new game, I only see 23 potential points awarded, not 46), and I also cannot see my Gamers Club Unlocked membership tag with the membership expiration anywhere (I was able to see it last month). Can someone please help me with this?
Thanks,
Karam (removed per forum guidelines)

Australian iphone 4, use in uk. I have an iphone that ive bought and used in australia for 6 months on different networks, ive come to the uk and tried to put a o2 sim card in, but i am getting the message on itunes that it is not not a supported sim card

In australia i bought my iphone 4 (4.3.3) from a guy who had it given to him with his vodaphone post-paid plan as an upgrade, but sold it to me brand new in box. I called vodaphone to unlock it, but they said just put my sim in and it would work fine (because they needed a vodaphone number to unlock it, but they unlock iphones for free anyway so it wouldnt of actually been locked) so i put in an optus sim and everything was perfect. I bought an o2 sim when i arrived to england last week, but it is not working. it says no service when i put in my o2 sim card, and that it is not supported when i plug it into itunes to activiate. what do i do??

Expanding on what Tim said to make sure it's clear, only the carrier to which the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. If Optus is the original carrier, as would seem to be the case, O2 would not be able to unlock it. Only Optus can authorize the unlock, so you'll need to contact them. They say, though, that only the account holder can apply for unlocking, so you might not be able to get it unlocked and will have to work through the person from whom you bought the iPhone.
For more information, see the Optus FAQ on unlocking.
Regards.

I restored my iPod and now all my music isn't syncing

I restored my iPod because it had a button on the screen that wouldn't go away. Before I restored it, I backed it up on iTunes. Then I hit restore from backup and all my apps got put back on my iPod but only about 100 out of 400 songs were synced onto my iPod. All my songs are even in the library! I tried to sync it again but that didn't do anything. How do I get the other 200+ songs back on my iPod?

What exactly happens when you try to sync? Any errors?
Do the non-syncing songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Try syncing using the manual method

I have same apple ID as my kids and I have all of their contacts and app's show up on my phone. I was thinking I should create a new apple ID for myself but will I lose my contacts and my songs?

How do I get rid of my kids phone contacts and app's from showing up on my phone?

Keep the existing ID for yourself and either give the kids their own individual accounts or check out the new family plan.

You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

Disabled
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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I updated my iPod and it erased everything i had on it. How do i retrieve the songs that i bought from the iTunes store? when i try to download/buy them again they tell me i have already purchased them do i want to buy them again?

You buy one and only one download.
It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
Certainly you did not update your ipod without making sure that you had transferred anything purchased on the ipod to your computer and included it in your regular backup copy of your computer.
