  • I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    You do not merge libraries.
    iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
    If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

  • How can I use app find iPod  for my daughters iPod even if she has own acct Id?

    How can I use app find iPod  for my daughters iPod even if she has own acct Id?

    Hi,
    So far so good! I was successful with my first request-and thanks, but I guess i did not ask enough.
    New question: Is there any way for me to have my Apple devices show up with my daughters even though we have different apple id's? I was able to have her sign in and I could see but, if she doesn't sign in I can't see her device. She is only 15 and I going on a trip soon that I would like to just have security if she looses her device or I'll know she is okay. I don't want to sync and see everything, just the where abouts of the device. We were able to create a music folder for her music only and not mine- Success!
    Did I ask too much?
    Thanks for your quick reply!

  • Why do the apple chargers for iPhones only last a month ... I'm tired of buying chargers for three apple products in my home

    Why do the iphone chargers stop working after a month of use I'm so tired of buying chargers for  supposedly the best products "APPLE" I'm getting really disturbed by it and ready to stop buying apple products 

    I'm not trying to start a fight, but perhaps it is how you are using them?  They are somewhat delicate, but if inserted and removed properly, and not overly stressed when in use, they last.  I have several that are over a year old with no problems, and I remove them daily.
    Most failures are caused by either pulling the lightning cable by the cable instead of the connector, or strain (force) at the cable terminator.  If your cables are failing that often, it may be you need to rethink when and how to use them.
    **As a point of clarification:  Are you speaking of the lightning cable?  or the charging block that plugs into the wall?**

  • How to authorize other Macs for OSX Lion?

    Hello,
    My sister bought a refurbished MacBook Pro that came with the former OSX release 10.6 Snow Leopard. I know that I can authorize her Mac to allow the download and installation of OSX Lion. The problem is that she already created a different Apple ID for her, however she does want Lion on her Mac. Is it possible to authorize a Mac that uses a different Apple ID from mine?
    Thanks!

    Ok... Is that easy?

    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • Unable to authorize This Computer for iTunes

    About 8 months ago I installed iTunes on one of my desktops (Windows) and setup the store access and actually purchased the OS update for my iTouch. Yesterday I purchased an iPad for my wife and started to set it up on her laptop. I've installed iTunes 9.1 and attempted to "Authorize This Computer" for iTunes purchases, I also attempted to do this on my laptop (both are running Win7 x64). Per the iTunes screen an email was sent to my account but I never receive it. Prior to the attempt to authorize the two computers from my wife's laptop I issued a request to reset my password. This email I received and reset the password. I then received a confirmation email that the password was reset.
    Why cannot I receive the emails to authorize my two laptops?

    In the iTunes window click on Store > Authorize This Computer
    In the "Authorize This Computer" I enter my email and password, click on the "Authorize" button.
    A new window pops up title "You have not verified your account", Click OK to review the instructions on how to verify your account.
    I click on the OK button and then the iTunes main window informs me that an email as been sent to my account and it displays my email address.
    I never receive the email and I have zero idea what to do at this point.
    The link you provided is about "Authorizing a computer allows you to manage which computers can play music, videos, audiobooks, or other content purchased from the iTunes Store" - This sounds like what I want to do but I cannot authorize either my computer or my wife's computer. At this point nether of us have or can purchase anything using my iTunes account.
    At this point I'm totally confused and upset and very close to returning the **** iPad. I thought this was going to be a simple process but it is turning into a can of worms.
    What I'm attempting to do is have one iTunes store account where either myself or my wife can purchase.

  • Family account for child as a parent with out an Apple product?

    How do I set up an account for a minor  or a family account if I don't have any apple products myself?  I want to be able to approve her purchases and make sure it is safe.   The PC versions of Itunes and Icloud have no family capabilities. 

    Just to add a little more ..
    I made an account, for me  on her ipod, created a family plan, added a child account to that.  Then I logged off. Signed back in as the child. The child asked for approval to buy an app. I can not approve this anywhere else other than by signing out as the child and then signing back in as the adult.  There is no way to approve or set up family accounts on a non mac PC or non IOS system.  Is a serious problem as a parent. 

  • HT4356 Is there an update or patch for Epson workforce 435 to AirPrint with my apple products

    Is there an update or patch for Epson workforce,435 printer to AirPrint with my apple products,I.e. iPhone and iPad?

    Tonye0426-
    You might contact Epson, but I doubt there is a way to upgrade it to AirPrint compatibility.  If you were recently sold the printer for use with an iPad or iPhone, you can take it back and either exchange it or get your money back.
    As Deggie stated, your choices include Apps on the iPad like PrintCentral or the Epson App, or running a program on your computer that shares its printer as AirPrint over WiFi.  Programs that can do that are Printopia and FingerPrint, and are reported to work well.  Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print.  <Printopia for Macintosh>  <FingerPrint for both PC and Mac>

  • HT5622 How do i make a account for my daughters ipod touch using my email address?

    Tried to make account for daughters ipod touch using my email and it want let me because my account uses it. So how do i set her's up?

    One one account per email address
    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in an age of at least 13 years
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.    
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • Can I make a new itunes account for my daughters ipod but not clear out my itunes

    We only have one computer now and I want my daughter to be able to use and upload to her computer without affecting my itunes music, what do I need to do? and can this be done?

    Create two Windows User profile, one for you and one for your daughter so that each of you will maintain your own itunes library and iTunes account.  You already have yours in the computer, you just need to add a new user profile for your daughter.  Go to Control Panel/Users to add a user account (make sure it is Administrator account and not Standard account).
