How do I get iTunes to ignore my wife's iPhone

My wife has an iPhone and I have the iPod Touch. If her iPhone is connected to our Mac Pro, whenever I login to my account iTunes and iPhoto launch to try to sync her phone. How do I teach Leopard and the apps to ignore her device when I login? Likewise, we want her account to ignore my iPod when she logs in. Thanks.

You're welcome.
Not near my computer right now - using my iPhone, but it should be under general iPhoto preferences. If not available, this means you are using an older iPhoto version.
The same preference setting is available via Image Capture preferences with the Image Capture application located in your Applications folder. Image Capture is an alternative to use for importing photos on a Mac for those not interested in using iPhoto for this purpose.

How do I get iTunes to ignore articles again?

Recently whenever I download a song where the artist has a definite or indefinite article in its name like "The Beatles", iTunes has been sorting that artist under the article instead of ignoring it like it had been doing. I know how to edit the file after it's already been downloaded. What I want to know is how do I get iTunes to ignore articles again when I download songs?

You're welcome.

How do you get iTunes to SYNC your videos to iphone??

How do you do this? My itunes refuses to do this... I just upgraded to itunes8 and I still have the same problem... I've already upgraded to the 2.1 on the iphone... I bought and paid for this video through itunes.... so what's the problem??????

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

How do I get iTunes and iPhoto to recognize my iPhone 4?

I have a MacBook Pro (version 10.5.8). I recently installed a new hard drive, battery, and had the Genius Bar reinstall my OS X. Now, iTunes and iPhoto don't recognize my iPhone 4 (version 5.1) when it's attached through the USB port. It simply doesn't show up in the left column of either program. Before the hard drive, battery and reinstall of OS X, I never had this problem.
I have tried restarting my phone and my computer, and looking for my iPhone in Image Capture, and none of these actions have worked.
Help!

Update: I did this and it now recognizes my phone. But iPhoto '09 (version 8.1.2) still does not recognize my phone. Any advice?

How do I get iTunes to allow me to restore iPhone files from backup?

My iPhone 5 was previously backed up via iTunes to my laptop running OS 10.8.4. However, the File | Devices | Restore option in iTunes is grayed out (AAARGH!). Moreover, I cannot figure out where the backup file is stored on my laptop. I need to pull back a video that was accidentally deleted.
Any ideas?

To restore from back up try the steps in the article below apart from the one you already tried:

Also to check for a back up you can do this two ways:
- iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Device Backups
Or
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

How do I get Itunes to list an album in track order including ignoring featured artists

I recently downloaded Daft Punk's new album after buying it on vinyl. after importing it to itunes, itunes wont list the album in track order. instead it lists the tracks in order per artists. example Daft punk, then Daft punk featuring Pharrel Williams ect...how do i get itunes to understand that they're all the same album and to list them in track order??
thanks

Hi bdm105!
Most likely, this is happening because the Album Artist field is different for each song from Random Access Memories. We have an article about song grouping in iTunes, and it can be found here:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1468
There are a couple ways to fix the information listed for Random Access Memories outlined in that article, but I want to point out one here:
Albums in which all songs don't have the same Album Artist information
iTunes 7 and later includes a new attribute for song files called Album Artist This allows you to assign a primary artist name for an album that many includes songs by several artists. It is important that all songs in the album have the same Album Artist name. To assign an Album Artist, select all the songs in the album and choose Get Infofrom the File menu. Next, type a name in the Album Artist field name such that it will apply to all the selected songs. This field can optionally be left blank if all the songs have the same album name.
The Album Artist field is shown in the above picture, but it is not highlighted. You will also want to make sure the Track Number field contains the correct information for the album, and information on that field can be found here:

How do I get iTunes to forget an iPhone?

I have three log-ins for my Mac (10.9.2): myself, my wife, and root. Months ago I was logged in to my wife's account to do some updates and stuff on my wife's iPhone, but I accidentally plugged my phone into the cable. It messed up my phone with her content, but it was fixable because everything was nicely backed up. But ever since then something annoying is happening: When I'm logged in to my wife's account and iTunes is open, iTunes mounts both my wife's iPhone and mine over the house wifi and tries to sync both. I quickly eject my phone, but I'd like iTunes to forget about my phone when logged in to my wife's account. (When logged in to my account, my wife's phone is not mounted.) In iTunes, the Devices Preference pane has the option to "prevent syncing automatically" enabled, yet syncing always starts nonetheless.
Anyone know how I can get my wife's iTunes to forget or ignore my phone?

Well yes, but the problem will be that my phone will start syncing as soon as it's mounted. I may turn out I will have to use this solution, then simply put it back on my own account and wipe/restore it.

How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
(Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album. That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing. Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

Thanks for your replies ckuan
I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work. It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer. The folder structure is completely missing. I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better. Bye bye iTunes!!
Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler. Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler. Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure. OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files. No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted. iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library. Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...

How can I get iTunes to recognise 2 different iPads?

Just bought a new iPad2 but when I connect to iTunes, it thinks it's another iPad we have in the family (we share the usic library). How can I get iTunes to realise it's a different device?

That is one of the most bizarre things that I have seen reported, but nothing is impossible.
Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reboot your iPad and then connect it again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

You don't get the itunes program on your Android devise at all.
You would need to read the directions for your phone to learn how to put music on it.
