How to authorize different computer to sync iphone and get itunes

how to authorize a different computer to sync iphone and get purchased itunes

FIRST, copy the iTunes folder from your old computer to the new one BEFORE YOU RUN ITUNES for the first time. Depending on your computer it will be in the Music or My Music folder. Copy the entire folder, including the iTunes Library file and the iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folders.
Install iTunes and Authorize it to the same account as the old computer on the Store menu.
Connect the iPhone. Set up syncing with desktop apps on the Info tab.
Sync the iPhone.

HT204120 Iphone shows 96 photos, sync memory show 1130 photos how do I find out what they are and get rid of them

iphone shows 96 photos, how do i find what is using my memory for photos and get rid of them

You're looking in the wrong place. The "96 photos" are in iPhoto on your Mac and are being synced to your phone. This doesn't include all those taken on the phone.
To see the total number of photos on your phone:
Settings > General > About > Photos >
To see how much memory photos are using:
Settings > General > Usage > Storage > Manage Storage >Photos & Camera
To select what to delete:
For photos taken on the phone: Photos > select photo you want to delete > trashcan on bottom. Note that deleted photos are stored in the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. To delete them immediately, select them again from that album > delete or select Delete All
For photos synced to your phone from your computer, deselect them in iTunes and sync again. They can't be deleted directly on the phone.

My new iMac had the old data transferred in-store but now it won't accept the password on the first screen. How can I reset this? I can't get past the first screen as a result.

I cannot get past the initial screen on my new iMac. Data was transferred from my old computer so when I turned it on It automatically had my name in the window and asked for the password, but none of my old passwords seem to be accepted. How can I fix this?? It's a new IMac with osx.

Which password isn't working? The one to access the iPad or the one to get your hotmail?
If hot mail, you go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and edit your hot mail account. Of if it won't edit, delete it off the iPad, then re-add it with the new password.

A music album is listed multiple times in my library but each listing only has a few songs in it-not the full listing. How can I combine them into one album and get rid of other duplicate listings?

Several music albums listed in my IPhone 5 music library are listed multiple times, but each one only has a portion of the songs listed. How can I combine them to make one album?

First....Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I am sorry for not getting back to you regarding your suggestion-I had computer issues that just got resolved. Also, this is my first foray into online chat rooms so I have a lot to learn to precisely state my issue! I did as you suggested and all the songs list the same album when I go into each song's "get info". However, I am not sure how to edit as you suggested. When I downloaded this album originally, for some reason it broke up into several albums each with different songs from the original album. I am trying to consolidate them back into one album in my library. I would greatly appreciate further assistance if you can. Also, I do not use "the cloud" to store any data and would like a good source of info on how to do this. Thanks so much for your patience!

Just sync the media from your iTunes library to the iPod touch.

how can I reset my phone all setting and data off iphone 4without passward

Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

MPlayerX isn't itself the problem; it was downloaded from a source that packaged adware with it. Click here and follow the instructions, or if desired, run Adware Medic.

Something was hidden in a download and now these double green underlined hyperlinks show up everywhere, and pop ups too whenever I click on ANYTHING. I can't figure out how to find it and get rid of it.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Help! Safari and trojan? How do I identify and get rid of it?

Please help me understand and get rid of this—your expertise sincerly appreciated! I posted about this problem a couple of weeks ago, but got no response. I seem to have a trojan attached to Safari (my analysis). It delays or stops loading of all pages, thumbnails don't load (such as in ebay), overall response is slow or freezes, etc. My console shows the following sets of messages whenever I try to open a page:
4/13/11 8:27:14 AM Safari[286] iSkysoft: removeObjectFromDic: ReloadPage
4/13/11 8:42:16 AM Safari[286] iSkysoft: removeObjectFromDic: ReloadPage

How do I identify this iskysoft, where it is located, and delete it?? Please help if you can.
I have followed all (possibly-related) advice I could find in the forums, including deleting all safari extensions, repeated cache empty, reload safari from scratch, delete safari library folders as admin and user, scan with sophos and intenet cleanup, etc. Finder doesn't locate anything named iskysoft on my computer, but the iskysoft website has to do with video conversion.
The slowdown has lasted since the end of 2010, but I just discovered the console messages a few weeks ago, and have been trying to understand and deal with that since.
Thanks for your time and knowledge. I could really use the help!

Hi,
Try MacScan for malware.
http://macscan.securemac.com/
You are positive you haven't installed the iSkysoft software??
Purchased as a bundle by chance by another name?

The slowdown has lasted since the end of 2010,
Maybe it's not the iSkysoft causing the slow down. Check to see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*
Try using Spotlight (top right corner of your screen, the magnifying glass icon, to find the software.
