Follow these instructions:

To sync:
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod.... and follow the instructions.

I've been told I should deauthorize all my devices and reauthorize them. Can you deauthorize an iPhone from the iTunes App?
I read an answer on another issue that said you don't deauthorize iPhones from the phone, and to deauthorize everything from the iTunes store. But when I go to the iTunes store, it tells me my computer is not authorized, (I just had this computer repaired & the iTunes store doesn't recognize it, and it says we already have 5 devices authorized). Is there a place to deauthorize everything at once, so I can add devices back individually?

We lost access to are computers in the last two months and we want to know how to deauthorize two computers from the ituns account can you please help me please?
If you don't have access to the computers to manually deauthorize them (they were sold, stolen, etc), then you have to log into your account, deauthorize all computers, and then re-authorize the machine(s) that you want to have access. This page explains how.

How to delete all books from the iTunes library which no longer exist on my iPod?
I was looking through my iTunes libraries today, and I realised that my "books" library was absolutely chock full of old books that I had previously downloaded and deleted years ago, as well as all the books I still currently own/use.
How can I delete (within iTunes) all of the books that are no longer on my iPod, without going through them all one by one?
I know for apps you can just delete them all in iTunes and then choose "import purchases" to perfectly replicate apps between the iPod and iTunes, but I don't think you can do that with books.After cleaning the library you can connect the device and use the transfer purchases option to copy over those still on the iPod.
I should add that it is probably a good idea to use Edit > Preferences > Devices and tick Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.

How do you move songs from the 'iTunes library to 'Jenni's iPod Selection'?
I have 2 folders with songs in them: iTunes Library and Jenni's iPod Selection. Whenever I download music, they are automatically saved in the 'iTunes Library' folder. But when I hook up my iPod to download them into the iPod, the songs are downloaded from the 'Jenni's iPod Selection' folder. Most of the songs are in the iTunes Library folder... Can someone help me?
Song that are imported from CD or downloaded into iTunes are always going to be in iTunes music folder. Can't change this.
Any reason you don't want this and you have music stored in "Jenni's iPod Selection"?
Why not add it all to the iTunes music folder and create a playlist called "Jenni's iPod Selection". -
My computer was shut down with live work still needing to be completed within an open tab of Firefox. The site that I was working from had not been bookmarked and a saved link back to the site had not been done yet either. After starting my laptop back up and opening Firefox, I don't have anything in the history taking me back to the site. Can I get back to that session at all and if so how? Or how do I search?
You would really have to ask the app developer if there is a way to export the data.
As for adding a printer, you would need to purchase an AirPrint compatible printer and connect it to your wireless network.

Updated and factory reset macbookpro, how to recover lost videos from the application "front row"
Desperately need an answer, every response is appreciated.
What do you mean you factory reset it?
If you erased & reinstalled the OS then I'm afraid to tell you that those items are gone.
A data recovery company may be able to recover files but it could be difficult or impossible depending on the disk type & how it was setup.
You need to avoid writing any new data to a disk that will be recovered from to stand the best chance of finding deleted files. Power off the Mac & leave it off until you have decided on a course of action.
Don't you have any backups at all? -
I'm freaking out because almost all my music except for those songs purchased directly from the iTunes store has been deleted from my iPod - about 35 gigs. The songs show up, but they're all faded out and unplayable from my device (I have the newest version). Exclamation points appear beside all my songs in the "On this iPod" section, and yet I can't double-click to locate the files as nothing pops up. Some of my music has a weird circle next to it and is even more faded out when I'm in the "On this iPod" section - that's been happening for a couple of days. Yesterday I tried to set my settings to sync with my library only, and it worked, but this morning everything got even worse with the rest of my songs disappearing. What's happening???? Help??
The syncing of music is one way, computer to phone. See this helpful document from a fellow user. Credit goes to the author.

When I was given the iPod it had a GREAT load of songs already on it. (That was part of the whole "gift" thing.) I want to sync it and create playlists in my own library and copy the songs to my computer's library too. I applied for an Apple ID, and find that this is so old that eventhough it was NEVER registered it is listed under a weird username and won't let me register as the new owner to access the music and sync. What do I do? It is an older version (I'm assuming) with 80G and only 25 have been used. I can't access the music already loaded and don't want to lose the mp3 files I have in my existing library now too.
Any help is greatly appreciated.Not sure if this helps:-
The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work. Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them. The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps. -
i need help. i tried updating the software on my ipod touch, and it looked like it was working fine, because it said "verifying update", but suddenly the screen went black and when i tried to turn it back on, it only had a picture of a usb chord pointing to the itunes icon. what do i do?
Your iPod has dropped into Recovery mode. You'll need to restore it via iTunes on your computer.

My iMac 8.1 (10.6.8 ) was slowing down and had recurrent permissions problems, mostly with Java. I backed everything up, and then re-installed from time machine. Now all I get is a black screen which says I need to reboot. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: 4 MOT/1/40000003: HDD-1336 or HDD-1327. When I reboot from the OSX CD and start disc utilities everything checks out OK. When I reload 10.5.2 from the OSX CD everything seems to work OK and no more permissions problems. But then I loose all my email and safari stuff. Anyone have any ideas short of going back to my old PC?

Hi
Thanks for the help. No point in fooling around with it any more. Will I be able to use it as a monitor if I get a mimi mac?
Cheers. Don
No unfortunatley it's too old, you are referring to Target Display Mode which became avialble in 2009, your 2008 needs to have the HD replaced. I'd still do that if everything else is OK or you can simply buy a new MM and display or even a new iMac or an Apple refurbished iMac to save money. -
I updated my iPod and it erased everything i had on it. How do i retrieve the songs that i bought from the iTunes store? when i try to download/buy them again they tell me i have already purchased them do i want to buy them again? I have authorized my computer but none of them are in my music now.
You buy one and only one download.
It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
Certainly you did not update your ipod without making sure that you had transferred anything purchased on the ipod to your computer and included it in your regular backup copy of your computer. -
I recently downloaded an album (a gift) from Amazon, one option of which is to download directly to my iTunes library (which is what I did). I also purchased a song from the iTunes store shortly after this. In both cases, the music shows up on my iPod touch in a lighter print than the other music on my iPod. When I select it nothing happens. I only plug into the computer a couple of times a month, but I perform all updates as are indicated and I synch my iPod. Note that when I have iTunes up on my computer, the music WILL play directly from the library, just not on the iPod. Any ideas? Thanks.
Hello zayasva
I would delete the songs and download them again, or plug it into iTunes to resync them back on.

When i use my laptop to make an iTunes store purchase, it always asks me to verify my account details by entering my credit card verification number. After i do this i then receive an email stating "Your Apple ID, ..., was just used to purchase ... from the iTunes Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID."
My Laptop is my home device and apart from purchasing app's on my iphone 4, i only use my laptop to make itunes purchases.I'm having a similar problem. I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order. Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy. When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too. No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop. I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't. I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help. I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".
