HT1719 how do i snyc a shuffle that is synced to a different library?

had to wipe computer and reset, shuffle was synced to old library. do I have to replace the contents with reset of shuffle or can I sync it to the new library? Thanks...

If it's an older model (1st or 2nd gen), it can only be associated with one iTunes library at a time. If it's the current 4th gen shuffle (or 3rd gen), and it was set to Manually manage music, you should be able to add new content from a different iTunes library. If it was set up for automatic syncing (to your old iTunes library), you cannot add content from a different iTunes library, without replacing the existing content.
If there are songs that only exist on the shuffle (you don't have a backup), you can first "offload" the songs from the shufffle, add the song to your new iTunes library, and then re-sync your shuffle.
You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.

How do I get my Shuffle to stop syncing???

When I plug in my shuffle, it automatically syncs with Itunes. I don't want it to do that - I want to choose which songs go on the shuffle, and I want to keep some off. All the directions in the Help section refer to tabs I don't have on my Itunes, like "Summary" and "Music." How do I get my shuffle to stop syncing with itunes??

iTunes actually performs a consistency check between the shuffle's contents and iTunes library... tracks not in the library are deletde from the shuffle. NO tracks are automatically added. YOu do that by selecting "autofill" and a target source... OR drag and drop music from the iTunes library ("Music")
Have you actually ever read the manual?
It's available here:

TS4253 How do you rotate a photo that is sideways in the photo library on iPad?

How do you rotate a photo that is sideways in the photo library on the iPad? I have found no solution in the user manual or anywhere else. I simply want to rotate the picture from being sideways to being upright. Doesn't seem like this should be such a mystery. Or am I missing something obvious? Thx

Thanks folks, I see there are photo editor apps for the iPad. I am downloading one now, and it should work. Good to know I wasn't missing something in the iPad itself. It does not have the capability to rotate or edit pictures without outside help. Thx

HT1212 How do I unlock a disabled ipod that was synced with a different computer?

How do I unlock a disabled ipod on a Macintosh computer that was synced with a different computer?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

My computer crashed and was rebuilt. I tried to sync the music from ipad back to my computer but I keep getting a message that says the content on my ipad will be erased. It also says the ipad was synced to a different library.

My computer crashed and was rebuilt. I tried to sync the music from my ipad to my computer but get a message that says the content on my ipad will be erased and is synced to a different library. All the music purchased from itunes synced but I need to get the music that was not purchased on itunes. How do I do this?

You don't. the ipad is not a backup/storage device. it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer. The sync is one way - computer to ipad. The only exception is itunes purchases.
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
If so, not good.
You may be able to purchase a third party program, not supported by Apple, to get the other music.

I have an old shuffle that I created with a different email address that I no longer have. is there a way to add these songs to my new account

I have an old shuffle that I still use with many songs. I created this account with an old email address that I no longer have. Is there any way to transfer these songs to my new account so I may purchase more songs and still use my shuffle? Thank you!

Basically, no, but as long as all the music is in the same iTunes library and it doesn't contain protected content from more than five Apple IDs, you don't need to. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

How do I acess my pictures that were synced to my computer?

Is it possible to find my pictures that were synced from my phone to my computer? My iphone died in water and I desperately want to recover these pics. My 9 month old puppies were poisened by someone and they both died yesterday. Every pic we have (probably 100) of them but two were on my phone. I've searched throguh every file possible and can't find them.

Your pictures were not synced from your phone to your computer. This is not a feature of iTunes.
The device is designed for the user to copy the pictures off of the device to the computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. If you have chosen to not do this, the pictures are likely gone. The only hope of recovering them would be restoring the most recent backup of the device to the device or a replacement iPhone.

"Things"? What things? Apps for keeping track of when to change cat litter? 30 different versions of "twinkle, twinkle little star" played by everything from punk rockers to Gregorian chant? Videos on the best way to make Christmas cake?
