i live in a home with two other people, and one housemate tried to sync up his content from iTunes and iCloud onto another housemate's new iPad. the iTunes library only contains my content. is there any way to retrieve the other person's iCloud? Can they go out of my account? Their content is saved on their iPads, but can another iCloud be on the same home computer?

The syncing of music is one way, computer to phone. See this helpful document from a fellow user. Credit goes to the author.

HT5527 I have had my storage reduced once already. In the process they removed my "Save" mailbox and all its contents. I do notcare about contents so much as starting a new Save box. How? (OS X 10.7.5)

My iCloud storage is being reduced. I have already had it reduced once. In the process they removed my "Save" mailbox and all its contents. (One would think that that would be the last thing they removed. But they took that and the "Trash" mailbox, yet left several thousand old and read messages which were in my "Inbox".) I do not expect to get the "Save" contents back, but I would like to restore the "Save" mailbox, so that I can start from scratch saving msgs in it again. But I cannot figure out how to do that. When I go to "Mailbox" on the top line (between View and Message) and select New Mailbox I get a dialog box in which I can name a new mailbox. When I type Save, for the name of the new Mailbox I get a response; "The mailbox 'Save" already exists." But I cannot find it.
Thanks, Bill Burner

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I am trying to purchase albums from the iTunes store and all the website says is that the price has changed. Why can't I just use a gift card/myaccount?

Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?

Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....

Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change.

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
This was the first purchase I made.

Are you following these instructions?

Where is the lock icon on the screen?

Hmmm, is Network set to using DHCP?
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Reboot
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.
Instead of joining your network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed

If I load a video on a nano to give out at a business conference can recipients see the video when they open the device? Iwas told it will wipe when a new user opens the device.

If I load a video on a nano to give out at a business conference can recipients see the video when they open the device? I was told it will wipe when a new user opens the device.

No, it will wipe it when they try to connect it to a computer and set it up under their own Apple ID. When they turn on the device the first time without connecting it to anything they will be able to see the video.

How do I move my iTunes library from an external hard drive to my new Time Capsule?

I stored my 77GB of iTunes library on my six year old 1TB Time Capsule. I just bought a 2TB Time Capsule and moved the iTunes associated folders onto a WD My Passport HD. Now, I can't figure out how to get them onto my new Time Capsule. Can someone please help me?
I have a MBP that doesn't have enough hard drive space to move them from the WD hard drive onto the MBP and then onto the Time Capsule.
Isn't there a way to move the files directly from the external HD to the Time Capsule?
Thanks.

You could plug the WD drive straight into the TC but it will be much faster to do it with the WD drive plugged into the computer.. and just mount the TC hard disk in Finder.
To move itunes library you must follow the Apple instructions.. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
You may need to reconnect itunes to the library before you try to move it.. !!

How do I move my itunes data from my old home computer to my new home computer?

IPad 1 is recognized by iTunes running on Windows XP but will not sync (new problem, used to work fine). The iPad and all its contents displayed but warning box says the iPad is not connected. Tried soft reboot. All software versions current.

iPad 1 connects to iTunes and displays in the left column. All elements on iPad displayed. However, it will not sync. Displays message that the iPad is not connected. This is a new issue. Used to work fine. All iTines and iPad software up to date. Ran HELP diagnotsic in iTunes with iPad connected - no issues noted. Attempted soft reboot of iPad. No help.

Issue hopefully resolved. Required Apple store to delete all info from iPad and reinstall operating system. Had to reload all data, but it seems to be working fine. Cause unknown.

How do I uninstall iphoto and all its contents and then reinstall?

For the last few years i have been deleting my photos from iphoto incorrectly which has resulted in many modified versions which has clogged up my HD, so i want to completely uninstall my whole iphoto application, before i reinstall it.
if you could tell me how to do that, that would be great
cheers

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Removing the application and re-installing it will not solve the problem you describe:
i have been deleting my photos from iphoto incorrectly which has resulted in many modified versions which has clogged up my HD
That's a Library issue. The library is quite separate from the application.
If you have unattached modifieds then I would suggest that you don't need to start over, but rather use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the Library. This will create a new Library preserving much of the work you've already done - albums and wanted edited versions and so on, and leave behind the unattached files. Then you can trash that old Library.
If you really want to slash and burn:
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 09* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.

How do I restore just Apple Mail (and all its folders & settings) with TM?

Hi folks,
I was trying to set up an e-mail client on a PC, clicked and unclicked my gmail pop & imap on and off, and when I got home to my Apple MacBook, I had inadvertently reloaded (twice!) every e-mail that I've ever gotten in g-mail to Apple Mail which I use happily at home! No matter what I do, Apple Mail just won't delete the 29,000+ emails. And Mail is hanging, I suspect it just can't handle the massive numbers of e-mails and all the attachments, images, etc.
So I figure I must start from where I was at last Time Machine backup. I want to restore everything about Apple Mail as of my last backup -- all the same folders, saved mail, preferences, etc. How do I restore just Apple Mail but nothing else? Thanks!
-- Josh

I've never done that, and don't think I've seen any similar posts here. You might want to look in the Mail and Address Book forum at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1223
Take a look on your system at +<your home folder>/Library/Mail.+ (List view is probably best for this).
You'll see a number of folders for accounts and mailboxes. There are separate folders for each account, and within them for various mailboxes, plus folders for "on my Mac" mailboxes.
With Mail off, of course, I think you should be able to restore either the entire Mail folder, or selected sub-folders within it, via Finder > Time Machine.
After you do that, you may need to use the +Mail > Mailboxes > Rebuild+ option in Mail.
(Do not use the specialized Mail > Time Machine +Recover your <named> Mailbox+ option there, as it will leave the current contents alone, and restore the messages to a new "restored" mailbox.)
Let us know if this helps or hurts.

I need to see the contents of a folder, not only the name of it as LIST.vi does, but i need to access its contents also. Is there a vi that can go through a folder and all its contents?

na

Where do you want to "see" the folder contents? On your front panel? In a dialog box? Just within your code?
There are a couple of functions on the File I/O >> Advanced FIle Functions palette. Look at File Dialog, which pops up a Windows Explorer type window through which you can navigate and view folder contents, or List Directory, which create two string arrays: one for file names and another for folder names. You can use List Directory recusively in a loop if you want to drill down through a directory structure.
