HT1386 I want to sync without loosing ny music that I already have in my Ipod how can I do that ?
It is the second time that I have sinc and lost all my music 450 songs I am not very happy the way synv is working
It souds like you are using more than one iTunes library/computer to get music from. You can only sync with one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
If yo sync with another library your iPod gets erased and its contents replaced with what is in the new iTunes library.

My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?
The problem is she can't update to new software until she connect to iTunes, but she don't want to loose all that info.
My question is:
If she register her apple ID on that new computer, and sync the phone, will she loose everything? or iTunes will back up first (because apple id match) and then sync.
Otherwise, how can I do it? The closest apple store is 3 hours away. thanks!Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise her phone will be wiped during the following sync.
If she has data on the phone she wants to save, back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to her new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

am from UAE and I have american account because we can't reedom iTunes cards in UAE accounts .. I want to order an album from iPhoto to my address in UAE ... how can I do that ?
You can't.
And advertising that you are breaking the rules with your account here in public just alerts Apple that they have a user who believes that the rules don't apply to them. -

I have different music files in three computers.
Everytime I connect my iPod into one of these computers it transfer the music files from that computer but delete the music files that I already have in my iPod.
I want all my music in my iPod.
What I need to do?
Thanks!I haven't researched it and I don't claim to know everything about iTunes, but it has always been my understanding that you can only use one computer per iPod, but you can have multiple iPods per computer. From what I understand, this is to prevent illegal sharing and whatnot.

Iwant to sync a calendar on my iphone to my pc w ith outlook how can i do that?
I want to sync my calendar in my Iphone to my PC in outlook how can I do that?
The easiest would be by subject, and for that you would need to create folders for each subject and then sync those folders to the phone.
The arrangement of photos on the phone has always been an issue, and I believe they are sorted by date taken when synced back from iTunes.
Is this what you are asking? -
I want to limit the number of scan done by a barcode scanner to 50, how can i do that
I am scanning data from my 2d barcode scanner, now i want that after 50 scans my barcode scanner should prompt that scanning of 50 barcode complete, how can i do that? i know logic might be easy but its not sticking me. Please help.
Hey,
Everytime you get a valid scan increment a counter and compare with 50. If limit is reached you are done.

Through damage, loss and resetting computers, my iTunes has synced itself to 5 devices (which I believe is the max) but I currently have my 6th iPod touch and need to know how to keep all this music and put it onto this other iPod. Do I create another Apple ID? Is it possible?
You can have 10 devices associated with your iTunes account for iCloud purposes. See:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
You can have five computers authorized for one iTunes account. See:

I had to restore my phone and before I did it I bought a ringtone and now I do not have that ringtone. How do I get that back without having to repay for it?
Call iTunes support and see if they will re-grant it back to you. Shouldn't be a problem, they have done it for quite a few people I know.
