How do I reset my itunes settings?

For some reason, when I insert a CD, it will not import.  Technical support said it was not hardware related but rather a settings issue...does anyone know how to reset, or set the settings for iTunes??
Thanks!

hey Joe,
Well, I decided to play around with the settings and actually fixed it!  You have no idea how amazing that is considering how little technical ability i have!!  Anyway, thank you so much for your response!

    How do i change my itunes settings from Australian to NZ ?

    If you are getting an 'account not in this country' message then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPhone and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select New Zealand.
    If you have moved to New Zealand and want to update your details then you might be able to update your billing address by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it, or you can do it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes. If you have a credit card on your account then it will need to have been issued by a New Zealand bank and be registered to your address there.

    How do I change my iTunes settings to lower the resolution of movies I download to reduce the download time?

    If you're buying HD movies, you can change the setting in the Store preferences in iTunes to prefer 720p. Or you can just buy SD versions.

  • How do I reset or delete settings in the Messaging...

    How do I reset or delete settings in the Messaging section on a 6790?  I input something that I need to delete.

    You can only reset the password if you know the original. Apple did not make a back door to this as it would be  insecure.
    Why do you want to start again? If you just want to start again click create new keychain. Then you start from scratch and the old keychain is kept in ~/Library/keychains just incase you remember your password.

  • Recovering from a crash - how to get all your iTunes settings back!

    Failed hard drive? Have a backup? Can't use Time Machine? Have an iPhone and a lot of music and don't want to go through setting it all up again? If you answered yes to all those questions, this is for you!
    So this isn't really a question, and I'm not trying to sell anything (but I do have questions at the end for anyone who can answer). I'm posting this possible solution here because I have just confirmed it works, and I have been looking everywhere for how to do this and couldn't find the answer. I've had my second hard drive failure in the last 6 months (another Seagate), and I'm sick of having to start over again with the iTunes settings, syncing my iPhone, authorizing the store, holding my breath to see if my iPhone will be erased, etc. (Another reason I'm posting this here is because I might need to remember what I did later!)
    If you were able to do a Time Machine backup you may not need this, but in my case, both Seagate drives failed before I could complete the entire backup. (In one case that left me with a large file that I could access by right-clicking and choosing Show Contents). If you don't want to restore from Time Machine but you were able to rescue your data, or if you want to have a fresh start on everything you can still pull from your Time Machine backups.
    In my case I was able to recover 75% of my files (with Disk Warrior, but the drive completely failed before I could get it all) and I had already kept a backup of my Music folder, where I manually manage all of my music.
    After installing my new Hitachi drive and re-installing Leopard, running the updates, etc. I was at the same versions of OSX and iTunes and everything.
    I first copied all my backed up music folder, back into my Music folder where they were before. (This included the iTunes folder inside the Music folder.)
    Just in case that wasn't enough, and I don't think it was last time I tried this, I found this article on how to remove all files related to iTunes:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
    I used this article to learn what else iTunes uses, and where those files and folders are located, and I was able to copy those files and folders from the restore / backup, and copy them into the new places. Because I hadn't yet run iTunes for the first time on the fresh install, most of those files and folders hadn't yet been created yet so I knew I could just delete them again if this plan didn't work.
    A summary of the relevant portions of the article, but make sure to replace "drag it to the trash" with "add it back here from your backup" (and note that a "~" symbol means it's under "Users/YourName"):
    1. In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder and type in ~/Library/ and click Go.
    2. Locate the iTunes folder and then drag it to the Trash.
    3. Choose Go > Go to Folder and type in ~/Library/Preferences/ and click Go.
    4. Locate the preference files that have names beginning with com.apple.iTunes and move them to the Trash.
    File Names should be:
    * com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
    * com.apple.iTunes.plist
    * com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
    5. Choose Go > Go to Folder and type in /Library and click Go.
    6. Locate the iTunes folder, and then move it to the Trash.
    7. Choose Go > Go to Folder and type in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ and click Go.
    8. Locate the preference files that have names beginning with com.apple.iTunes and move them to the Trash.
    So I held my breath and launched iTunes on my newly installed system for the first time, and before I turned blue in the face, I notice that I did not see the "Accept License" window, and all my songs were in, ratings and selections and all! Even the podcasts began resuming downloads.
    As for my iPhone, I noticed my Applications were already in too. I held my breath again and plugged it in, re-transferred my pictures right away in iPhoto, and it asked me if I wanted to back up my Applications from my iPhone, telling me if I didn't then they would be removed from my iPhone. Twist my arm, fine, I chose the option to back them up and it synced for a long time. It was an uncomfortable 20 minutes or so. (In fact, I'm writing this as it's about to finish.)
    It ended up giving me a warning about how some apps were not authorized to be transferred to my computer, and gave me a list of 28 Apps (out of well over 100 on my iPhone). They weren't removed from my iPhone though! I synced again, and the same warning, so I selected Transfer, and this time no error at the end. I synced a third time, and no error messages!!!
    I'm sure there are plenty of other places that might tell you the same information, but I couldn't find anything out there. Hopefully this will help someone. If anyone else has something to add or can offer any more advice on this, that would be nice too.

    Both the iPhone & touch are designed to be synced with itunes on a regular basis. Neither are storage devices & not syncing is not only foolish, but as you've found out runs the risk of complete data loss. Purchased apps can be re-downloaded for free, as long as you use the same account that was used to originally purchase them. You can view your itunes purchase history under Store>View My Account>Purchase History. Music is a one time download. Its your responsibility to backup this content. You can try contacting itunes support regarding the lost music, plead your case & hope for the best. Whether they add the lost music to her download queue is strictly up to them:

  • HT1320 how do i reset the network settings on iPod 4th generation?

    i've looked at heeps of websites to try and find out how but everything i try doesn't work for some reason

    Hey PandaBear,
    I found the following info on resetting your network settings on an iPod touch with iOS 4:
    Reset network settings: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.
    When you reset network settings, your list of previously used networks and VPN settings not installed by a configuration profile are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and “Ask to Join Networks” settings are left turned on.
    To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, choose Settings > General > Profile, then select the profile and tap Remove.

  • HT1725 How do you reset your iTunes security questions if you forget them?

    I want to get a song on iTunes.so I went on and it needed the security question answer.But I forgot it, so how do I reset it?

    Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; in the case of forgotten answers, this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

  • How do I reset to factory settings on OS X 10.6.8 when install disc is 10.5.5?

    Hi, I'm ready to sell a MacBook Pro I bought off a while ago on eBay that came with OS X Snow Leopard. The install disc that came with it however only included OS X Leopard. My question is that how do I reset the computer back to its default setting (erase all personal data) but keep Snow Leopard. I really need the answer quick. Thank you.

    Prepare Your Mac for Sale
    Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer.  After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab.  Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button.  Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button.  Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive.  If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive.  The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive.  After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Now complete the OS X installation.  At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer.  Instead just shut it off.  The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

  • HT5312 How can I reset the iTunes security questions i forgot

    Ok i want to make a purchase but can't because i need to answer security questions i forgot them. How do I reset them through email because i cannot call so is there a way to reset through email ?

    Hello Chris,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.  I found some information about how to reset your security questions if you have forgotten the answers:
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
