Hello cheech07,
The following article contains directions that can help get you back on track with iTunes. I'd recommend picking up at 'Part 5' of the 'External drive' section.

I have 2 ipods,one for music and the other for old time radio shows.Each had their own file.My computer crashed and I had to buy a new one.Now both ipod files are merged into one.How do I seperate them on the computer?
Hi Craig
Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps

My laptop crashed and I had to get a new hard drive. How do I get the music from my iPod back into iTunes Library?

Recently my pc crashed and I had to have a new profile built. Now when syncing my iphone 4s to the computer the sync gets stuck on step 8 and "syncing artwork" It never finishes syncing...just sits there for hours. Subsequently most of my music and apps are missing from my iphone because it never finishes syncing. How do I fix this?
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -

I've just added a new ending and want to burn the new version of my iDVD project. How would I replace just the (imported FCE) movie portion without having to start over the entire iDVD project from scratch?
In an attempt to help clarify:
The FCE 3.5 project I first wrote about had 10 chapters and was a mix of stills and transcoded DSLR video clips that measured 58 min in length. After FCE converted it to a Quicktime movie, it exported from FCE to iDVD 7 flawlessly until I was asked to make a last minute change.
My older software wasn't endowed with the ability to "detect modifications". However, Deleting Assets was successful and a revised version of the original video could substituted saving me from starting iDVD over from scratch (thanks to Old Toad). Luckily, the ugly iDVD BUG did not awaken during these procedures. Thanks Bengt W.
I hope this helps the discussion. -
I have a free app on my iphone, i would like to get it to my ipad..how do I get it without having to start over the entire game?
If you use the same Apple ID on both devices, you can share apps, but you won't share the progress I'm afraid.

So basically, my Ipod5 was working normally earlier today but then the screen just randomly went black and I cant get it to turn on. The problem though, is that for the past 15 weeks, it has been telling me that it is unable to save anything to the cloud due to a lack of space. I don't really care about anything other than my pictures and I'm wondering if there is any way for me to get them back even if my Ipod doesn't work?
Likely not but
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

how do i sync it with the compter without deleting all data?
The first thing you can do is transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod Touch to your PC. To do this, choose File -> Transfer Purchases in iTunes. You should authorize your new PC before doing this by clicking the Store drop down menu and selecting Authorize this Computer. Then enter in your Apple ID/iTunes Store account credentials.
For all other content that was not purchased from the iTunes store, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different software available to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Finally, right->click on your iPod Touch under the Devices section in iTunes, and choose Backup. Then after erasing and syncing your iPod, restore from that back up. Or better yet, copy a backup from your old PC to your new one if at all possible. Here is more information on backing up and restoring your iPod . Doing so will restore all of your App data.

how can i put the music from my phone back on to itunes if my computer crashed & I had to download a new itunes
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

Does it really back up the whole new drive or does it only back up what's been added? It seemed like it was doing the whole thing when I tried it. I stopped it. Don't want to use up all the space on my external. Is there something else I need to do or did I mess up by not doing the migrating thing? thanks!
If you installed a new hard drive, it has nothing on it and yes TimeMachine is going to take forever to restore everything back.
I guess you'll have to erase and start over again now.
Too bad, you should have made bootable clones in addition to TimeMachine, they can restore in a hour or two depending upon content, they are also option key bootable.
TimeMachine has to go through and calculate all the files it needs to bring forward, the files are strewn all over the drive. The read heads are moving all over the platters all the time from fast sectors to slow ones, not matching what's occuring on the internal drive.
With a clone the files are defragmented and optimized, the drive reads one file, moves the heads a tiny bit and reads the next all the while transferring exactly to the internal drive, they are more in step with one another, thus it's much faster restoring from a clone than TM.
Most commonly used backup methods -
Finally made the switch from PC to Mac, after my PC crashed and burned. I Do not have a backup on an external drive, and I was unable to recover any data from the trashed PC hard drive.
Can I download my library, or is there a way to get my itunes content on my new Macbook Pro? I have almost 10 years of music and stuff on my iTunes, so I really hope there is a fix!
Thanks!No backup is a huge mistake.

Hello all, l have a question that relates to air play and my ipad 4.

Everytime you set a picture from Camera Roll as a wallpaper a dark shadow appears on the top and the bottom of the image.
Is there anyway one can turn this off? I've noticed this doesn't happen with the preset wallpapers the phone brings.. Thanks
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
EmiliaI believe the iPhone does this a default so you can view the time more clearly There is no way to turn this I think. But I have found zooming in on an image ever so slightly and moving it around can change the effect. Good luck
