HT1420 if you deortherize all 5 registered computers do you loose your music library

Apparently i have registered my phone and 2 ipods to 5 computers over the years.  I have my old laptop which i have tried to deothorize but says it was never authorized.  I am wondering if i opt to  deothorize all computers, do i loose all of my music which is on my current computer which is working? Problem being it wont let me download any apps on my ipod touch's or iphone from the computer and everytime i sync my phone it removes all apps!!  Thanks so confused x

No. Back it up anyway.

  • How do you import your music library to a new computer?

    I have an iPod Nano (2nd gen).  I have a mixture of purchased songs from iTunes, but also many personal tunes from my CD's.  I have just bought a new computer.  I was shocked to learn there is no easy way to move my existing library and playlists.  How do I import my entire music library to the new computer.  I have a large capacity flash drive.

    If you network your two computers together, you can transfer the song files directly, without having to use a flash drive in between. You may also want to consider getting a backup drive. You can get lots of space for not so much money these days, and with an automatic backup system, it can really save your bacon if your computer goes down, which is an additional benefit to just transferring files from one computer to another.

  • How many iPODS can you download your music library to?

    I've purchased 3 iPODS over time and have downloaded from my iMAC to each.
    Is there a limit to how many iPODS I can download to? On the last one I got a message saying I only had one more left. These are all legal purchases. Why is there a limit?

    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/authorization/
    "* iTunes DRM-protected music includes audio with a bit rate of 128 kbps and allows users to transfer songs and videos to up to five computers, burn seven copies of the same playlist to CD, and sync to an unlimited number of iPods.
    iTunes Plus music refers to songs and music videos available in our highest-quality 256 kbps AAC encoding (twice the current bit rate of 128 kbps), and without digital rights management (DRM). There are no burn limits and iTunes Plus music will play on all iPods, Mac or Windows computers, Apple TVs, and many other digital music players."

  • HT1420 if I deauthorize all of my computers can I then add back on the ones I want to without losing any of my music

    If I deauthorize all of my computers can I re-authorize all of the computers I want without losing music, etc, I've downloaded

    Yes.
    Deauthorizing all computers will simply require all computers to log into the iTunes store with this account before making a purchase.
    It will not delete anything on any computer nor will it prevent anything from playing on any computer.

  • When you rebuild your iPhoto library does it erase all your photos

    When you rebuild your iPhoto library does it erase your photos and my iPhoto keeps crashing i was wondering if there was a fix for this?

    When you rebuild your library to be able to use the new version of iPhoto if that is what you are talking about, it will simply rebuild it so that the new version can access the photos that you already have on your computer.  This will not affect the files in a way to delete them.  It simply just makes it so that the new version can be compatible and use the photos that you have on your computer.

  • Two computers sharing the same PC Music Library databa

    Is there any way two computers can share the same music library database? It's easy to share the mp3 files, but I want to share the database (which contains the playlists and smart playlists). I haven't been able to find a way to point the Organizer at a different database location (the default location is \Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Creative\Media Database.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    No, you cannot share the PC Music Library database. What you can do is that you can backup the PC Music Library database from the "master" PC and then bring the backup to the other PC and restore it to the other PC. You can perform the backup and restore in MediaSource's Tools->Settings->PC Music Library.

  • Hi, I have a brand new imac which i got today and when I open Iphoto all i get is the error message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" any ideas? thanks

    Hi, I have a brand new imac which i got today and when I open Iphoto all i get is the error message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" any ideas? thanks

    Are there photos in the Library? If not then just trash it and launch iphoto. It will make a new one.
    If there are pics in it then Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • How do you sync your music from iTunes to your iPhone without easing the songs already on your phone

    how do you sync your music from iTunes to your iPhone without easing the songs already on your phone

  • TS2972 How do you move your music within itunes from your regular library to the homeshares library so that you can import it to your new computer?

    How do you move your music within itunes from your regular library to the homeshares library so that you can import it to your new computer?

    You do not have to move it as such. Here are the steps to setup HomeSharing
    1) Ctrl B to turn on the top menu
    2) File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share enter your apple id and password, click create
    3) repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other computer and create home share using the same apple id and password
    On your new machine if you have turned on the left hand sidebar the Shared Library should be about halfway down like this.
    Select the songs you want and click import at the bottom right. If you want all songs then I would select one song nad Ctrl A to select all
    Finally if you have a lot of songs to transfer Switch off the wifi on the old computer. Leave the wifi on the new one. Connect with an ehternet network cable. The copying speed is way faster.
    Click import and grab a coffee

  • HT4972 after downloading ios5.1.1 how do you get your music back on your ipod?

    after downloading ios5.1.1 how do you get your music back on your ipod

  • I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

    I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)
    Let me explain:
    In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
    Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
    (I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

    I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • How do you copy your iphoto library to ext. hard drive?

    I am sorry to ask this lame question, but: How do you copy your iPhoto library to an external hard drive, just to back it up? I'm confused, because of three things: a) I can't seem to find, in iPhoto pref's, where you select what the "path" is to the library; b) in the iPhoto library folder on my computer (which is NOT on my boot drive, but a different internal drive..) the newest "year" folder in there says 2005, yet we have imported many newly-taken photos for the last 3 years, AND c) in the user>Pictures folder there is a "file" called iPhoto Library, but I can't quite figure out exactly what that is, what it does, etc.
    So, I apologize, but if someone can help me figure what I would like to think should be a very simple backup, I would be grateful. Thank you very much.

    I am sorry to ask this lame question, but: How do you copy your iPhoto library to an external hard drive, just to back it up?
    Drag it to the external drive
    a) I can't seem to find, in iPhoto pref's, where you select what the "path" is to the library;
    There not one - you change the path by launching iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and using the select library option to repoint to a different libary - however you would not do this to a backup library - it would just be a copy
    b) in the iPhoto library folder on my computer (which is NOT on my boot drive, but a different internal drive..) the newest "year" folder in there says 2005, yet we have imported many newly-taken photos for the last 3 years,
    This is probably an unused older library - a backup for a previous version
    c) in the user>Pictures folder there is a "file" called iPhoto Library, but I can't quite figure out exactly what that is,
    That probably is your iPhoto library and it is probably not a file but a Unix style "package"
    Launch iPhoto and in events view select a photo and right click (control click) on it and select the show file option to see the path to the currently active library - I find the column view the easiest to see the path

    How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?

    Are you syncing to a different computer?  Iphone will sycn with only one at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Otherwise, just select what you want to be on the iphone under the music tab and sync.  What do you care if it erases?  You will be syncing what you want to the iphone.
