  • How do I change the iTunes library my iPad is synced to?

    How do I change the iTunes library my iPad is synced to?

    My recommendation would be to set this up as a brand new iPhone, just as if it came out of the box.
    Do that in Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
    You will then be directed to the welcome to iPhone screen, just as you would with a brand new device.

  • All my music are listed in the iTunes library, but won't sync with my iPhone

    Maybe it's because I bought a new Notebook and had to copy the music library-file unto the new iTunes-? Anyway, the phone cannot recognize the files listed in iTunes. And about syncing - all my entries in the phone book are listed three or four times. No problems with pictures and videos, though. Anyone?

    Correct.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • I have over 1200 songs in my iTunes library that have always synced fine, I have added a new album to my list from one of my CD's, synced to add it to my library but less that 100 songs are now on my device and no matter how many ways I try its not worked

    I have over 1200 songs in my iTunes library that have always synced fine, I have added a new album to my list from one of my CD's, synced to add it to my library but less that 100 songs are now showing on my device and no matter how many ways I try its not able to show any more.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how to rectify the situation as I have tried every help setting for the last 4 hours.

    I have tried everything I have read on the Internet about sync issues and restore etc and not there isn't a single song on my iPad or iPod touch. All of the songs are listed in my iTunes but are all greyed out, some have the cloud symbol next to them but lots don't and some say waiting.
    Long and short is nothing will save to my devices at all.....HELP !!!!!!!?

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

  • My PC Harddrive died along with all the CD's that I have saved to the Itunes library.  My IPOD touch has the library still so I would like to send the data from the IPOD to the PC to restore my library.  Is this possible?

  • HT4527 how to move my itunes library from my Ipod to a NEW PC

    My Laptop had to be reformatted and as a result I lost access to Itunes.  I was not able to save any of my backups nor my iTunes library.
    I am trying to sync my iPod and iPhone to my NEWLY formatted hard drive and iTunes wants to WIPE my devices.
    Is there a way to "PUSH" the  iTunes library from my iPod To my laptop?
    Thanks,
    Willie J. Sanders, Jr.

    I thought I just explained this.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You can transfer itunes purchases form your ipod to your computer:  Open itunes, connect ipod, click File Transfer Purchases
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
    You may be able to purchase a program to get the other music

  • HT1386 How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer.

    How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer when I sync my iPod.

    You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How to check the sales orders that have been created with an Rebate Agreeme

    Dear Experts,
    Do you know how to check the sales orders that have been created with an Rebate Agreements?
    Thanks!!

    Hi Hoo Laa,
    I have one way but little lengthy.
    Rebate condition always appears in the billing document.
    So 1st you extract the sales order list from Table VBAK.
    once you have the sales order list then you can put your order list in Table VBFA --> Extract the billing document list.
    Now put that list in the table VBRK.
    In VBRK you will get the "Doc. condition" --> put that doc condition in table KONV with your rebate condition type.
    It will show the result.
    Later, through VLOOKUP you can identify in which order you have given rebate to your customer.
    Already said, Little lengthy

  • How To Fix: "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."

    I can't reopen my iTunes after I have to force quit when it does not respond. I get this message:
    "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
    I've read to do the solutions. I right clicked on both the iTunes and Music folder and went to info for each. On both the lock at the bottom of the Get Info was locked. All of my users including admin can read and write all files within those folders. They are even a shared folder. I clicked on the lock to unlock it, typed in my admin password, and went to the gear to apply to all files inside. After doing that I keep getting the saved message.
    I tried another way that I've found online to move my ituneslibrary folder to the desktop and then open my iTunes. In theory the iTunes is supposed to ask for where the iTunes library is. Once that is prompted you quit iTunes and drag the iTunes Library folder back to the folder from the desktop and reopen iTunes to apprently solve the problem. However, when I move the iTunes Library file to the desktop and try to reopne iTunes the icon just keeps bouncing and when I right click the application does not respond.
    This problem is only resolved if I restart/shut down my macbook pro which is a 15-inch Core 2 Duo with intel. It will be 5 years old in December. I currently have Lion and the latest iTunes 10.5. This problem started in late December. 

    If you hold down the option key when starting iTunes, it will allow you to select a library or create a new one.
    You can create a new one, and then add all of your iTunes music back in by simply dragging the old iTunes music file onto iTunes.
    There are more detailed instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451#
    It will show you how to re-build your iTunes database file.

  • Anyone knows how 2 change the order of songs in ipod?????????need lots help

    i tried going on my computer then on (f:)(usb drive for ipod nano) and it only shoes me my calander,notes and contacts.
    oh and there is nothing i could see in itunes7.
    plz help

    First of all, if you are trying to drag songs from one position to another, that can only be done in a playlist. You can't do that in the iTunes Library, all you can do in there is re-order the songs by clicking at the top of any column. If the songs are in a playlist open iTunes then click on the playlist. Click on the number column (extreme left). Click on the song you want to move and drag it to where you want it to be. Right click on the playlist name and select "Copy to play order". Connect your iPod, if you are updating automatically it will pick up the change. If you are updating manually then you connect first and when the iPod appears in the source list carry out the process above directly in the playlist on your iPod. Make sure neither Shuffle or Repeat are switched on in the playlist, that can prevent you reordering tracks.

  • Ex-Mac user now on Windows 7: How to acccess my iTunes library (now on my PC) with my Windows iTunes?

    I'm an ex-Mac user now on Windows 7: How to acccess my former Mac iTunes library (now on my PC) with my Windows iTunes? I get error message: The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Roy

    So, what I have done so far to try to achieve this is:
    I have my Windows PC with it's NTFS formatted external HDD containing the music etc.
    I have my Mac with a new external HDD formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    On the Windows PC:
    * I opened up iTunes.
    * Went into Preferences, and then under the Advanced tab I checked both 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised' and 'Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library', so that all the files would be in the main iTunes Media folder when I copy it over.
    * Then File, Library, Organise Library and ticked the 'Consolidate Files' so that it moves any files that aren't in the right folder.
    Next I copied the files over. So I copied the updated media folder from the NTFS (Windows) external HDD onto the Mac external HDD.
    And I copied the files from in My Documents/Music/iTunes on the Windows PC to User/Music on the Mac.
    But this doesn't seem to have done it.
