HT1420 I am trying to sync my iPhone to my computer with a new Apple ID that Ive just created because the original account has been applied on too many computers. iTunes is not allowing me to transfer my purchases with my new account. Help!!

I am trying to synch my iPhone with my computer, and new Apple ID. My iPhone is synced with another computer, but i have changed the Apple ID on my phone and authorized it on my computer. However, i can not transfer my purchases on to my new account. I have updated my phone, authorized the account on both my phone and my computer. And i do not wish to wipe my phone clean, because there is but one song on this new account. How do i transfer the music on my new account?

All content bought/downloaded from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it and it can't be transferred to a different account - so you will need to authorise your old account on that computer if you want to transfer its purchases over.

HT1430 my daughter's ipod has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts. The ipod was not synced to a computer. How can we get it started?

My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts.
The ipod was never synced to the computer so can't connect to itunes.
How else can we enable the ipod touch again?

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. In your case, choose any computer with iTunes software. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

The iPad says disabled connect to iTunes. When connected it says please enter passcode. There is no places for me to enter a passcode. This has been like this for many DAYS...not hours. HELP!

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

ITunes will not allow me to transfer music manually to my iPhone

Hello,
Since I got my iPhone 4S in March, I have been manually adding music to my phone by connecting the phone, and dragging music to my phone. Recently, I had to reformat my PC and when I reinstalled iTunes, I try to click and drag music but it gives me the small red x while i hover over the iphone in the itunes window.
I don't really know what I should do to try and fix this issue. I have tried to authorizde/deauthorize the computer. In my account on the iTunes store, it says only 1 computer is able to play purchased content or something like that. Can this be resolved other than having to erase the phones content and startng over?
Thanks.

The following is from Apple article:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
iPod shuffle and iPhone are intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle and iPhone like you can with other devices.
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.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software to copy back to your iTunes library. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

Cannot sync multiple iphones on 1 computer with multiple accounts

I have had no problems until recently. I have 2 iphones that I sync with two different users on 1 Windows 7 PC.
I was always able to sync the respective iPhone with the iTunes on each individual account without any problem. Now, it freezes up on 1 of the accounts, but works on the other.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. One sympton I noticed while troubleshooting is that it seems like iTunes is getting corrupted because even without syncing, if I select Edit/Preferences iTunes starts to hang.
. Here is the sequence of events after uninstalling / reinstalling the last time:
- After verifying the install, I made sure that on both user accounts, iTunes was operating normally. I did this by starting it up and playing a few songs and going to the Preferences, which it did quickly on both accounts
- On account 1, I synced iPhone 1 without any problems. Exited iTunes. Repeated a couple of times
- On account 2, verified that iTunes was working properly again
- Attached iPhone 2 on account 2 and it hung. Also gave me this error: "iTunes was unable to load data class information from sync services"
- Now whenever I try and run iTunes on account 2, it plays songs but as soon as I try and access Preferences it hangs
- Running iTunes on account 1 and syncing account 1 is still no issue
This is very frustrating because I have not been able to sync iPhone 2 for a couple of weeks now.
Thanks.

Any help? If I unistall and reinstall iTunes, which ever account / phone I sync to first works, but the other account / phone will not work.
Is there anyone else out there who is successfully syncing 2 phones on 2 accounts on one computer? Why isn't this working anymore - it worked fine for over a year until now?

Every time I try to sync my phone to my computer and dowload something on to it it just automatically cancels the sync

Everytime I try to synce my phone to by computer it with backup the information but them just says cancelling sync

Hi,
Try restoring as a new device. Help here.

Need help to sync two iphones to one computer with one user. Want the same library but both phones have different contact lists.

There are two iphones in the family. We want to share the same music but separate pictures, contacts and apps. Do I have to create user accounts on the computer and different libraries?

check out method one from this support article -> How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

I just updated my itunes to 10.4.1 and i then tried to update my iphone 4 to ios 4.3 but it says that 4.2.10 is the current version. can anyone help?

okay, so i just updated itunes to 10.4.1 and noticed my iphone was still 4.2.10
but when i click update it says 4.2.10 is the current version....i want to update it to 4.3
can anyone help?

If you have a Verizon phone, 4.2.10 IS the latest update. A cursory search of this forum would likely have gotten you the answer much faster.

I tried to update firefox, then the update crashed. I cannot open firefox any more because the "firefox.exe" has been "changed or removed". How do I fix this?

I was trying to update firefox to open a pdf file from a website that said on the top of the page that my plugins are out of date.

Hi,
Run an antivirus program first. It's very possible you just got stung.
If that didn't fix it, reinstall firefox.
Hope that helps.
