HT1386 Will apps and/or music be erased from iPod if synced to a computer other than orginally used?
Will apps and or/music be erased from iPod if synced to a computer other than original one used?
Yes. To avoid that:
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a thrid-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
The computer will now be your syncing computer in the future. Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

I recently migrated my extensive library from a Mac authorized with both my and my ex-husband's id's to a Windows 8 machine only authorized with my id. I am finding that a good portion of the apps and tracks are still only authorized by his. How do I find these so I can delete them from my library? Finding them 1 by 1 has been VERY tedious. I have seen a script for the Mac to do this, but no solutions for Windows.
It doesn't sound like the Exchange environment is configured in a manner to support these types of clients very well. Have your Exchange team look at the following
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/10/18/supporting-windows-mail-8-1-in-your-organization.aspx
From the latter article: "Communications applications can connect to a corporate Exchange service
configured to require certificate-based authentication. User authentication certificates can be provisioned to Windows 8.1 devices by administrators or end-users can browse to certificate and install to user certificate storage."
You might want to:
Ask your Exchange team the public URLs (ExternalURL) for Exchange OWA & ActiveSync
Open the OWA URL in your Internet Explorer from your Surface
If you get a Certificate warning, open the certificate and select Install (NOTE: You may have to install the entire certificate chain). Your desktop support team should be able to support this because it is the SAME process for standard Windows 8x
desktops.
Confirm that you can open OWA on your surface with no more certificate or security warnings. NOTE: The Exchange team will have to configured OWA properly.
Once confirmed, repeat the same steps for the activesync URL that they provided.
When done, try using the OWA OR ActiveSync URL value in your settings of your Mail client.

All of my music was erased from my computer after my hard drive crashed and I don't want to spend the time uploading all of my old CDs to my computer. If I plug in my iPhone with all of my current music on it, will it sync to my computer?
This user tip should be helpful too.

Help me please I want to make sure the thief couldn't open the phone and the apps and the music since it all carries personal information and are very important to me. How do I make sure the phone can no longer be used for anything?
If the carrier blocked it, that just means the SIM card in it can't be used to make calls or access the data network.
A 4 digit passcode can obviously be broken. How easily depends on the code you used and whether the thief knows anything about you. In all likelihood, the thief couldn't care less about your data. They want the phone, which has real monetary value.
Next time, turn on Find my iPhone. -
Moving to a new computer. How do I move my Apps and Purchased music over?
Can anyone help me understand what have to do to move my Apps and Purchased music to a new computer? There seem to be lots of articles about it but no single set of steps. I will transfer all my non-iTunes library and rebuild the library, etc. But how do I get the apps and purchases moved over? And how to make sure I don't reset everything and not be able to get it back? I have all my purchased music on the iPod.
iPod Touch 3.1does this also take care of the apps?
Yes.
Tell me if I am wrong, but if I set hook up the iPod to a different computer, does it not wipe everything out before setting up the new partnership?
Confirmation is required before anything is deleted from the iPod in that case. Items are only deleted without warning if the iPod is set to sync automatically with an iTunes library which that content has been deleted from.

if i got a new iTunes and it doesn't have anysongs on it and my ipod does, will my ipod lose all the songs, apps and etc. i have on it if i sync it with the new itunes?
If you transfer any iTunes content to the iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first with a warning message provided indicating this beforehand.
Authorize the different computer with your Apple ID with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, right click on the iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases. This will transfer all apps on your iPhone to the iTunes library. -
After installing any version of itunes. Told failed to install properly and could not burn or import music from Cd's. Also will not allow eithre one of my 2 ipods to sync with it as well.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. (Use your Ctrl-V keyboard shortcut to paste.) -

Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop. There is no "authorize computer" in a drop down menu as suggested in iTune store or its support page. What do I need to do to fix problem?
MY personal thinks to Radez29. Yes, it is now authorized. BUT, I have an obvious question and an obvious statement.
Question......why, in my many emails to/from Apple support, was this simple solution not given to me?
Statement.......Apple should consider "terminating" the present employees and hiring Radez29. He obviously knows a LOT more than the Apple support team.
AGAIN, my sincere thanks to Radez29 for this solution.

You now need to get your pictures back! The similar to you, after I updated my iPad Mini, I can't get my some files on device.

Can I not sync apps and still keep them on the iPod?
Hello people+
When I uncheck "Sync Apps" in my iPod Settings, I get this error message -
+Are you sure you do not want to sync applications? All existing applications and their data on the iPod "Touch" will be removed.+
Am I understanding it correctly when I think the apps will be deleted from the Touch? In other words, I want to be able to manage my apps only on my Touch, and I don't want a copy of the apps on my desktop, and I don't want to sync through iTunes.
Is there anyway I can do this?I think you kind of missed the point of the whole iPod thing. Your computer is your backup for apps, music, etc. Anything happens to your iPod (lost, stolen, soaked in BP crude) you still have all of your stuff.
You can do it all on your touch but what if is the big question. Sync you apps and your music and the first time you need to restore your iPod, you will see the genius of the system. -
Can someone please assist me. I was given an iPod 3G as a gift and I tried to download various apps and it told me that my iPod needs to be iOS 7 or more but I checked and my iPod is at its latest upgrade which is 6.1.6, how can I get those app?
See a a version compable with your iPod is available:
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
Also, if you have iOS 6.1.6 yo have a 4G (has cameras). A 3G does not have cameras and can only go to 5.1.1 -
HT1655 my i pod shuffle (3rd genration ) is not seeing in itune and all data is erased from there.
hi i try to reset ipod shuffle(3G) via itunes but as i chossen dan all data got erased from ipod and now i can connect my ipod to itunes
The three music came with your operating system.
Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:
