How do i not sync my music downloads with my other devices

I want to download "adult" music to my iphone, but I don't want it to automatically go to my kids' devices (we are all on my iTunes ID/Password.)

You can disable automatic downloads on your kids devices. Also, there is parental control on all the devices. So you can set that up and put a password. This has to be setup on each device.

HT1386 Why can I not sync my music library with my iPhone4s?

It has synced all my contracts/apps/ect but not my music. I have made sure that the music section is "checked" before applying and syncing but thus it still does not download them. I have even tried unistalling and reinstalling itunes. PLEASE HELP!

Have you actually chosen some songs? Checking the box at the top doesn't automatically cause your tracks to sync, you have to choose some first.

How/where do icloud synced Pages docs get filed in other devices?

I guess that's my question in a nutshell..
I have several devices with all sorts of different files and filing systems... If I want to sync a modified Pages doc that, for instance, is duplicated across several files on my mac, would they ALL be modified when it syncs with iCloud?
Also, my other question is... Where in devices with different filing systems do synced docs land?
Hope that makes sense,...

iCloud doesn't sync any documents on your mac, it syncs documents between iOS devices and iCloud.com, you can upload and download documents to and from iCloud.com to and from your mac so they can be used with iOS devices or used from iOS devices.
You don't see any filing structure on the iOS devices, each document is listed within the app itself when you go to 'Documents' from the app interface

How do I share my entire music library with my other computers?

Only a subset of my library is listed under my Shared Library. I have tried changing the settings under Preferences: Sharing to include the Entire Library, as well as dragging and dropping the contents of the entire Library into the Shared Library. Still, only a small subset is in the "named" Shared file. Help!

I suggest you give Home Sharing a try:

ITunes 10.6 not syncing purchased music to iPhone iOS 5.1

I upgraded iTunes to version 10.6 and my iPhone to iOS 5.1. iTunes will not sync purchased music from the iTunes store. In the past, I have been able to sync these purchases via iTunes. Now they appear greyed out on my iPhone 4S.
When I go into the App Store from my iPhone, I am able to download my purchases, but there are many and tapping on them one by one is not something I want to do EVERY time I update my iPhone to a newer OS. I would like to sync from my computer since those files are on my computer and I can play them in iTunes.

I have also tried adding my music into a different playlist and it will still not sync half of my songs. I have also deleted the Purchased playlist and copied them back into it again... still nothing works
This is quite silly!

Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.

When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do I get rid of this?

I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do i get rid of this?

Hello drumsdonkey,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines issues with free space, capacity, and a large amount of "other" space. While it refers to iOS devices, most steps are applicable for your situation as well:
iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
One symptom of this issue will be displayed in iTunes where the Capacity indicator for the iOS device will report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the device. To resolve this issue:
- Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
- Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
- Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
- Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT201263 I did not sync my iPod Touch with iTunes and I have forgotten my password. How do I unlock it?

I did not sync my iPod Touch with iTunes and I have forgotten my password and now it is locked. I have the recovery mode screen at "conect to iTunes", but iTunes is not recognizing it. How do I unlock it?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

How do I not sync notes with my email? I have a business email on my iphone as well as my husbands iphone. Now all of my notes are on his phone, and all of his notes he previously has on his iphone are gone. We have never adjusted any settings or hooked it up to itunes, I only added the shared email account to his phone. Help???

Hi StoneLeadyFarms,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like notes on your devices may have synced when the email account was added, as described here:
iOS: Syncing Notes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4191
Notes are associated with an IMAP email account or iCloud account. To sync Notes, enable Notes for each account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud.
You can stop syncing notes by tapping Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud, tapping the email address that you added, and switching Notes to the off position.
Additionally, if your husband has backed up his iPhone to iTunes or iCloud, the steps in this article can help with recovering the lost notes from his device:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
