How do I convince itunes that ipad is NOT synchronized to a different library?
When I attach my ipad2 to my PC, itunes (latest version installed) always says that the ipad is synchronized to another library, and do I want to .....
This is the only computer the ipad has ever been connected to! I'm tired of having music/pictures/videos erased from the ipad.
Any suggestions?
I really do understand your frustration being caught in this loop...but Apple will not help since they consider this a carrier issue and not an Apple issue.
If you contact Vodaphone again, press for access to someone higher in the organization to talk with. Vodaphone isn't in the US so I am not familiar with how they operate, but if there is a physical store, you might try going there and talk with a real, live human being and see if you can get help. It certainly sounds as though the problem is with Vodaphone and how they unlocked/or didn't, the iPhone.
I too am at a loss except to say keep after Vodaphone as Apple is not going to get involved.
We are all fellow users on here and not Apple employees so often have the same frustrations the people we are trying to help have.

I've had to rebuild my hard drive and reinstall all the software. What a pain.Now iTunes wants to tell me that I am re-syncing from a new machine and wants to reinstall all of my Apps. It is the same machine, and all the Apps show up in iTunes that are on my iPod Touch. I do not want to have to reinstall all of the iPod Apps and try to restore all of their data. How can I convince iTunes that this is NOT a different machine?
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player. -
I want to take remote access from an iTunes library off of my iPad ...when I hit edit from the remote app it pulls that library up ..if I delete it I just want to make sure that I'm not remotely wiping out the library, just access to it from my iPad ?
Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

HT204088 How do I file a claim for a purchase from iTunes that I did not do?
How do I file a claim for a purchase from iTunes that I did not do?
First, log into your iTunes Store account and see if the purchases are reflected in the Purchase History.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
If they are and you're sure you or someone you know didn't make the purchase, perhaps as an in-app purchase, immediately change the password to your iTunes Store account, making sure it's not something easily guessed or looked up. Then go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly rather than an unauthorized purchase through your iTunes Store account and it will be up to your bank to handle.

How do I download itunes on one computer (64-bit) for a different computer (32-bit)? The download page automatically detects my computer as 64-bit, but I want to download the installer for a different computer that is 32-bit.
I ended up changing the user agent reported by my web browser to fool the website into thinking I was using a different web browser. On Google Chrome, press Ctrl-Shift-I to open the Developer Tools, then click the gear in the lower-right corner of the window. Check "Override User Agent" then select "Internet Explorer 7" from the drop-down.
Once upon a time, you could download the 32-bit version of iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/, but the download link hasn't been updated recently and points to an old version of iTunes.
If, like me, you think Apple should provide a link to the 32-bit version from the main download page, I would recommend giving Apple your feedback. -

Create a new, regular playlist named All music.
Drag everything under Library > Music to this playlist.
Create a new Smart playlist.
Match all rules;
Playlist is Music
Playlist is not All music. This contains all songs that cannot be found -

How do I delete apps that I do not want on my device anymore?
DELETING APPS
Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
If there is No 'X' on any apps you have Downloaded... then check in Restrictions... Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps = Off / On
If the app is in iTunes, then you delete the app in iTunes (Select the App and Press Delete on your Keyboard). If you then sync with your iDevice, the app will also be deleted from your iDevice. -

I would like to use Private Browsing all the time, but want to retain certain cookies, like my sign in info for hotmail.com and certain banking log in info. How do I specify cookies that I do not want deleted?
You can protect specific cookies with the CookieCuller extension.
The cookies are only protected within that extension, so other means (Clear Recent History) will still remove them.
You can let all cookies expire if you close Firefox and keep the protected cookies.
If you use the build-in cookie manager then you can only make an allow exception for a specific domain, but with CookieCuller you can protect specific cookies.
