How do I find out which computer I sync music, videos and photos on?

I am about to update my iPhone to iOS 4.2 but it tells me that to preserve my media, I should apply this update on "the computer where you sync music, videos and photos". How do I find out what that computer is?

You should be regularly backing up then you can just move your library to a new computer and sync there.
If you don't have one then you will have to transfer purchases (grab a 3rd party program for non-purchased content) and then sync to the new computer

  • How do I find out which (if any) albums contain a specific photo?

    In iPhoto and Aperture, if I search for a photo, it shows me which album the photo is in.  In Photos for Mac, it only gives me the option to "Show Moment".  Is there any way to see whether a specific photo is contained in any albums?  Thanks!

    YYou can right-click on a photo and select Show in Moment, but there is no way that I'm aware of to show in album.
    You can request features, point out bugs, etc, at Apple Feedback pages.
    Or directly for Photos.

  • How do I find out which library containing Jps-api.jar and Jps-internal.jar

    In project properties->Libraries and Classpath option, I need to add j2ee\home\Jps-api.jar and j2ee\home\Jps-internal.jar but I am not sure which library contains them? Is there a easy way to find what jar files are contained in each Libraries?
    I could have added the jar files directly, but the project will be shared among a team and the path to jar files will be different for everyone.
    Thanks.

    The "BC4J Security" library contains the libs to which you refer.

  • I want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized?

    i want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized? also how can i update the software?

    This is a tedious solution, which is stupid!  And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization.  I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
    And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

  • How can I find out which .pst or .ost file itunes referres to when synchronising with outlook

    I´ve switched to iphone 4S from my 3Gs and would like to "clean" my itunes Sync before I use the new phone. Problem is, that the synchronisation with Outlook 2003 doesn´t work anymore. I guess the reason is that itunes refers to an old .ost or .pst file on my computer. I ve got several outlook profiles and changed from exchange to pop3. My question: How can I find out which .pst or .ost file itunes referres to?
    Thanks a lot in advance :-)

    Select the tune and then - Get Info - in the dialog box is a note of the Apple ID used to purchase.

    HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHICH SERVER MY MAC IS USING, KEEP GETTING MICROSOFT SQL SERVER ERRORS
    WHEN TYPING IN ADDRESS'S?

    If your computer is tied to a network, then there is a way to check. Go to System Preferences, and click Accounts. unlock Admin
    then you can click Login Options.
    under that, Network Account Server. This should show you what server your computer is tied to. If you aren't in the tech department, you could try asking them.

  • How do I find out which computers I have activated on iTunes?

    I am trying to activtate my laptop on iTunes and it keeps telling me that I already have 5 computers activated.  I checked my old laptop and it says it is not activated.
    So, how do I find out which computers are activated? How do I take the old ones off the activation list if I no longer own them? I no longer have the HP Vectra computer listed below.

    You cannot identify them. However you can deauthorise them all and then reauthorise the ones you need.
    To Deauthorise all
    go to Itunes Store Select Account from the Quik links section
    Use the Deauthorise all button
    To reauthorise a machine
    Store > Authorise this computer.. in the Top Menu (You may need Ctrl B to see it in windows)

  • I share an itunes account with 3 users. How can I find out which person downloaded a certain app?

    I share an itunes account with 3 users. How can I find out which person downloaded a certain app?

    Agile,
    Any of the above will work, depending how you would like to set it up.
    Given that kids tend to eventually grow up and be independent, the best long term answer for most people is to let her have her own account and her own library as soon as she can handle it.  Keep in mind that content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, so separating later is a challenge.
    If you want to sync multiple devices to the same library, that will work.  Or if you want separate libraries (as I would recommend), they can be either on separate computers or on separate Windows user accounts on the same PC.
    For the name change:  Connect the device.  When the name appears in the left sidebar of iTunes, highlight it and change it.

  • How to find out which version of OID, SSO, Portal, and Disco. to install?

    Hi,
    I just upgraded from 11.5.9 (DB 9.2.0.4) to 12.1.1 (DB 10.2.0.5) using Rapid Install Wizard.
    The 11i system did have Portal and Single Sign-On, and Discoverer 4i. How can I find out which version of these I can install and integrate with the new system? Do I need to install a separate Application Server?
    Thanks,

  • I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks

    I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks

    Many thanks JEM24 for your help.  Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone  the actual cost of each additional  gigabyte of storage  to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

  • My Library has ten more songs than my iPod. How can I find out which songs are not syncing?

    My Library has ten more songs than my iPod. How can I find out which songs are not syncing?
    I recently had to purchase a new hard drive. Because the size of my music collection exceeds 140 GB, I stored all of my music on a separate external hard drive. When I exported everything back into my new iTunes library, I found that I had about 200 more songs than I had in the previous library. After deleting most of those extraneous songs, I was able to get my library close to where it was before. However, after syncing to my iPod Classic, I noticed that only 34,853 of the 34,863 loaded. How can I figure out which of those ten songs in my library did not sync to my iPod?
    Yellow12

    It may be that the 10 songs are unchecked. To find them select songs view.
    If there is a column Heading marked with a tick then click on it to sort by this column.
    If the Column is not there then View > View Options and select the Checked column which will then display
    Check the songs by putting ticks in the empty boxes and resynch. Now those tracks should go over as well
