Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. Like StarDeb55 I would also advise that you back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • How to use TV tuner

    I have the A310 and havev lost the manual. I want to use the TV tuner. I have bought to necessary cable to connect the tv arial socket to the PC.
    How do I now watch TV on the PC. 
    Thanks

    Please refer to the manufacturer of that TV tuner for more assistance. Once fully configured, you will only get our local channels. Local channels are 1-49 and they are un-encrypted so a TV tuner can access them.

  • HT4623 how to download i tunes

    how to use i tunes   , download  

    Do you mean how to sync content from your computer's iTunes ? If you do then connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then on the right-hand side of iTunes there should be a series of tabs for selecting what to sync to your iPad.

    syncing music : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    Your synced music (and music that you buy/download directly on the iPad's iTunes app) should go into the Music app, and your films and TV programmes into the Videos app.

  • How to use one I-tunes library with multiple windows users (family) on 1 pc

    On our family pc we log in with different accounts. We want to use I-Tunes but all have the same library. I tried to create a library not in the users directory, but in the All Users folder that is accessible for everyone. However, when I import the music in the library for one user and set the same location for another user, I-tunes does not recognize the library. So everyone has to create it's own library.
    What are the best practices to overcome this?

    Keep in mind that what you have done now is you have multiple iTunes libraries accessing the same media folder. Meaning, that each account can have their own ratings, playlists, etc. but more importantly, each account does NOT know what the other account does, so if your daughter adds a CD to her account, it will go into the shared folder, but it will NOT automatically go into your wife's iTunes library. She would have to add it manually. Likewise, if one account deletes music from their library and tells iTunes to remove it to the trash, the other accounts will not know and iTunes will still try to access the file from the shared location even though the file is now trashed.
    Each account has their own database files (.itl files in the iTunes folder) which stores this stuff.
    If you want to have everyone use the exact same library which means the same ratings, playlists, etc. then you need to move the database files into that same location and set each iTunes account to read the same data.

    Never owned an iPod?
    Select your iPad under devices in the iTunes source list to make the various tabs for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes available in the main iTunes window.
    This is also covered in the user guide. Apple includes a Safari bookmark with Safari on the iPad for access to the user guide.

  • I use i-tunes for backing tracks with an acoustic band...how can I get a playlist to play one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?

    I use i-tunes for backing tracks. How can I set up a play list to play only one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?
    Thanks

    Uncheck all the songs in the playlist. iTunes will then play one song and stop.
    Regards.

  • Qosmio F50-125 - How to use TV-FM Tuner in Windows 7

    Hello,
    I am using Qosmio F50-125 and I just upgraded to Windows 7.
    I just now found out that I have a TV tuner on my notebook and I dont know how to use it.
    First I dont have drivers for my TV tuner and tried to download something like TV-tuner driver v.2.3.3.31 from the toshiba website, but there is not a typical setup.exe but just some files inside.
    If you could tell me a bit more about how to use my TV option and how to install the proper drivers I would be truly grateful.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi mate,
    Friend of me has also Qosmio F50 with TV Tuner and Windows 7 now. As far as I know the posted instructions from the other users are correct.
    First you have to extract all files. Then go in device manager and right click on the TV card (I think its marked with yellow exclamation mark). If you right click choose Update Driver and in next windows choose the advanced installation (second point). Now you have to choose the driver directory yourself and navigate to the folder where you have extracted the files. Click on OK, Next, etc. and the driver should be installed properly.
    Maybe you to restart the notebook but this shouldnt be a problem! ;)
    If you have more questions, please let us know! If you need more assistance I can ask my friend again for further details.

  • I restored my iphone 4 using i tune and now it is asking for activation. How to activate it..?

    I restored my iphone 4 using i tune and now it is asking for activation. How to activate it..?

    Setting up and activating iPhone
    To set up and activate iPhone, turn on iPhone and follow the Setup Assistant. The Setup Assistant
    steps you through the setup process, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network, signing in with or
    creating a free Apple ID, setting up iCloud, turning on recommended features such as Location
    Services and Find My iPhone, and activating iPhone with your carrier. You can also restore from
    an iCloud or iTunes backup during setup.
    Activation can be done over a Wi-Fi network or, with iPhone 4S or later, over your carrier’s cellular
    network (not available in all areas). If neither option is available, you need to connect iPhone to
    your computer running iTunes for activation.  You might also read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424

    You can install it on your iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) either by redownloading it directly on the device via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, or by connecting the device to your computer's iTunes and syncing it to it.
    Syncing apps from a Mac : iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync and organize iOS apps
    from a PC : iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync and organize iOS apps
    As to how to then use the app, if the description on the app's description page in the store doesn't describe how to use it in enough detail, then is there a link to the developer's website on its description page, and does that have details ?

    If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self.    I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing
