How can I use my home Mac and my MacBook's iTunes and not have to erase...

I have a desktop Mac and a Macbook. Obviously I have iTunes on both. Both are the same account. But no matter what, when I connect to either one, in order to add music, videos or ANYTHING I have to erase and start all over! I hate this soooooooo much. Is there a way around it? I mean, you'd think they'd be linked? Geez.....help <Edited by: Host>

how can i use my account without the billing info, as i do not have a credit card. and my shipping and billing info is under US. i'm in singapore. how do i change this?

If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

How can i use my ipod mac address to find it?

simply put, i left my ipod at work. they missplaced it, now i need to locate it... p.s. its only a 3rd gen 32 gig so its not ios 7 campatible ,icloud only works if you have the device and download cloud on to it(and icloud is turned on).....not looking for opinions just looking for options such as: how can i use my ipod mac address to find it? i do have the mac address

You cannot.
If you did not set up find my pod on the iPod itself, then it cannot be tracked.

How can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

how can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

That's exactly what I meant, but for some reason Home Sharing stopped working on my iPad2 once I activated iTunes Match.
Since then, I waited for iTunes Match to finish setting up and scanning my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro and I restarted my iPad2. Both Home Sharing and iTunes Match are now up and running smoothly!
Thanks for the reply!

You can't sync across accounts, so:
In Contacts select all the contacts (1 account at a time) and choose File>Export>vCard),
then on your wifes Air do the reverse, select File>Import.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after installed last version...

Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?

If the calendar is connected to a server account, like Exchange, you cannot sync via iTunes. You need to connect to the server on your MacBook.
If it is not connected to a server account then you need to ensure syncing is set up in iTunes. This is in the Info tab for your selected phone in iTunes.

How can I use software from mac os 8.6

I have old mac 4400/160 with os 8.6. Can I use program files from that os on os x and how?

Hi, Boopsy. Welcome to the Discussions.
By "program files" I presume you mean "applications." If you mean data files, that's a different question.
It really depends on the applications (apps).
First, they will only run in Classic mode, if they run at all. Classic mode is a "hardware compatibility layer." Basically, this allows you to run Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X simultaneously, meaning you can use Mac OS 9 apps and Mac OS X apps simultaneously. Both Mac OS X and Mac OS 9.2.2 must be installed on the computer in question.
Some Mac OS 8.x apps have been known to run in Classic, but it's really suited to Mac OS 9 apps.
Second, any apps that require direct access to the hardware — a common issue with games developed in Mac OS 9 and earlier — won't run in Classic mode.
Finally, if you buy a new Intel-based Mac, Classic is not even an option: Classic mode is not available on Intel-based Macs, signaling the true death of Mac OS 9. So, if you're planning on getting a new, Intel-based Mac, none of the OS 8.6 apps you have can be used on such. You would need a Mac that employs PowerPC architecture, which are the last Macs that can run Classic.
If you had a PowerPC-based Mac with Mac OS X and Mac OS 9.2.2 installed, you could then try installing your old apps using the original installation disks using the instructions in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Installing applications made for Mac OS 9." You'd probably also need an external USB floppy drive, assuming the apps are distributed on the usual 3.5" floppy disks.
However, given the items noted above, there's no guarantee they would either install or work.
Good luck!

How can I use "write to spreadsheet" during the data is taking but not the end of all the loops

Hi,
I have to run an experiment on Labview 6 or 5. I don't have Labview 7 on that computer for some reason. My experiment is talking about 1000 hours, and I have a probelm on storing the data. Right now I am using "Write to spread sheet" and I set the "append" to false. And the data is installed at the end of the experiment, that means after 1000 hours. In the mean time if somthing oges wrong like power cut or what, I will lose all the data. So what I want to do is to save the data evertime when the data is took. I tired to set the "append" to true, but it does not let me to choose the "file path"--- when I choose this and select write on new or excisting file, it said" you may not be able to save on a exciting file" and it does not let me create a new file either. If anyone have the lidea like how can I use the "wrtie to spreadsheet" function and at the same time can install the data everytime inside the look, please let me know. Thanks alot.
KL

KL,
It sounds like you want to periodically save your data so it is in smaller files. (great idea) For this operation you will not want to append the data...if something happens to your system while the file is open it could become corrupt and ruin all the data. You need to write the new block of data to a new file every time. Now...this depends on how big your data is...if you only have like 500k of data to write in a block you should probably write several blocks before starting a new file. I don't know enough about how much data you are acquiring. In either case...the write to spreadsheet file.vi will need a different name each time it is called and you will not want to append. Append = false.

How can i use a song as a ring tone from a cd i have loaded on the 4s

How can i use a song as a ringtone from a cd i have loaded on my iphone 4s

The weird thing is, when u make your own ringtones, they sound terrible when set as a ringtone (really tiny and generally awful), but when u set them as a text tone or any other alert they sound great (like they do when u play them through the music app).
Is this just a bug with iOS5 or have previous models also done this?

Hi please help me how can I use my iPhone 4 I am at vocation my is not working please help

You need to make your own ringtones in iTunes then sync them to your phone. Follow the directions here:

How can I set up my Mac Pro so that my wife and I can use our separate iTunes accounts? I keep getting an error message that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID even though the two accounts are associated with separate log ins!

I'm getting very confused with setting up multiple user accounts on my Mac Pro for my wife and I. We each have a separate iTunes account, and we want to keep our music libraries seaprate. I've set up two user accounts on the Mac Pro and I have my iTunes authorised and logged into my user account on my user account. Under my wifes user account (i.e. a separate log in on the computer) I'm trying to set up her iTunes account, but I can't download or play anything from the cloud - it just says "This computer is already associated with another iTunes Account" and tells me that if I 'transfer' then I won't be able to use the other one for 90 days! This is really annoying as my wife can't access music she has purchased on her iTunes account on the home machine. We're not trying to do anything dodgy, just access our music on our own accounts on separate log ins on the same machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

How can I use an Airport Express to join my wireless network and provide an internet signal to my Power Mac g5 via an ethernet cable?

I have a power mac g5 that does not have a wireless card, and connects to the internet via ethernet cable.
I want to know how to set up an airport express so that it joins my wireless home network and provides the G5 with an internet signal.
This via an ethernet cable that is plugged into the airport express and then into the ethernet port on the g5.
Please advise as I have configured the airport express in every way possible, the green light is on and when I plug the ethernet cable into the G5 my network cofigurations shows nothing and says that the ethernet cable is not plugged in (It is).
I get an internet signal if the ethernet cable is plugged directly into my wireless router, so the ethernet port works.
Please assist. Thanks.

Two requirements that must be met to do what you want.......
1) An AirPort Express 802.11n must be used. Check the Model No on the label on the side of the Express. It needs to be A1264. Any other model number will not do what you want.
2) The Express must be configured to "Join a wireless network" and the option to enable Ethernet Clients must be checked.
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
The box to "Allow Ethernet Clients" must be checked
Please check to verify that your AirPort Express meets both requirements
