HT1751 words is iTunes set up to do this , or do I have to use AppData...Backup directory then re-direct from there?
Does iTunes offer any functionality for permanet backup to external hard drive? Or, do we have to just copy files form AppData...Backup, re-direct, etc?
This is on a Windows Vista machine.
See this backup tip. The main thing to backup is your iTunes library. Although you can also backup the device backup sets reintegrating these into iTunes isn't easy. In the event of a problem it is best to restore/migrate the library to an new/rebuilt machine and then immediately backup your devices rather than attempting to move the iOS backups. Note that iTunes normal maintains one rolling backup of each device. I've just discovered that Mac users can optionally archive these but for Windows user the only way to do the same thing is to backup and then immediately restore the device. Doing this every month or so gives you a chance to recover if don't discover a problem until after you've backed up a device.

My family shared an Itunes account and now i'm moving out and have created a new account solely for myself. Is there a way to transfer my previous purchases on the family account to my new account?
In order to continue to play and sync the music you purchased with your old account, you'll need to authorize your new computer/iTunes library to do so. You can do this by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer and then entering in your old account credentials.
That's all you should need to. Then just create your own account and start purchasing and using it the same you have with the old one.

Can't download itunes update. Keep getting this error message: THe program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
I researched the advice on the link provided by b noir as well as very similar advice from apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376. It worked for me (for now).
Some things of note:
I did all of the things requested by the link I provided
My computer WOULD NOT uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support. I had to manually remove the folder (also as instructed by the url)
I also uninstalled MobileMe. Was a little different than removing the other apps. Follow instructs provided here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2992
I did not uninstall iCloud
I have to admit it was a bit scary removing all those things. Is important to note that when re-installing Apple, follow steps to do so as Administrator (the right-click thingy and whatnot).
Hope this helps! -
Under the iCloud portion of settings on my iPhone, I have always gotten the message "account not verified". The email matches and is in fact the same for my accounts on iCloud and iTunes. Has anyone had this problem, and how have they resolved it?
Hello megalina23
You need to verify the email address associated with the Apple ID. Check out the article below on how to do this.

my airport extreme has connected to a Tplink router, i set my AE in Create network, so i get a problem of Double NAT. How can i repair this probleme because i have to use TPlink for my IP TV and i want to use AE to creat my network and the guest NW. If we don't have a solution for this question, can i set my AE to use the IP TV and how??? I'm using a 4th Airport extreme
No, not unless it is simply a network connection.
How is your IPTV being provided.. if it is using a separate vlan or separate vpi/vci in the adsl connection. Who is your ISP?
Is the TP-Link ADSL?
Is the IPTV using a separate voice channel on adsl?
Or a different vlan.
Sorry but it is something where a definite answer is not possible unless you provide all the details.
The setups are unique to each ISP around the world..
Here is one for our local ISP.
http://www.avenard.org/iptv/Setup.html
He has a section on getting this working with apple router over wireless.. look
http://www.avenard.org/iptv/IPTV_and_Wireless.html
Google around and see if other people have had success.. the whole setup is tricky.. and it is hard if nobody has used it who actually understands networking. -
I am having problems to run logic pro 9, there is an error display that says I need to set bonjour and that this app serial number has been used by another red user, could anybody guide me? actually, my computer can't start since three days ago, could it be the same problem?
Logic is the APPlication (program, app) that you are having the problem with.
Logic Pro can take advantage of other computers on your local (home or work) network to help it do "heavy lifting" data chores by using Bonjour and a feature called Nodes. It seems that Logic is attempting to find and connect to another machine on your network.
Do you have Logic installed on another computer there? That may be the source of the confilict.
You might want to post this question in the Logic Pro Community.
Be sure to indicate the version of Logic Pro that you are using. I'm sure the folks there can help you out. -
I want to clear some space on my Mac since it is filling up and I don't have much room left on it. I want to delete all my songs from my "Downloads" folder and then delete them from my "Trash" to free up space however, I'm worried that if I do this then iTunes will not play any of the songs I deleted.
Will I still be able to play my songs on iTunes even if they are not in my "Downloads" or "Trash" folders?
Thank you.All tracks in iTunes (if you use default settings) should be in various artist and album folders in the main media folder in the iTunes folder. You can right click a track to reveal its location in Finder. If there's a copy there then it doesn't really matter what you do with other copies.
I have never downloaded from iTunes but I thought it placed files directly in the correct locations, or is this some other downloads folder to which you are referring?
Normally if you download a file from another source and add it to iTunes by dragging it there, or using the Add To menu item, it places a copy of the file in iTunes. You can discard the original, but if you're concerned you can check which copy iTunes is actually using as above. -

Hi - I have reformatted my computer and want to know how to recover my tunes that were on itunes - I have tried to transfer the tunes from my ipod but it has wiped this clean too - any suggestions welcome!!
*If my kids dock up their iPods to charge them (the iPods still have the music on them) will the computer "sync" the iPod to the now empty library that's on the computer?*
If the iPods are set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent an iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings: iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts
Once the iPods are connected it might be a good idea to change them to manual updating at least until you have your library back in shape. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod - Syncing Music
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod -
This is so frustrating! I have an itunes store account, etc. I lost all my info when I had to "restore" my iphone.
I wasn't able to do the "restore" until recently, gosh it was about 6mos or more ago when my iphone died...
So, as I get older I am having memory problems and haven't been able to access my itunes account.
Obviously when I did the "restore" on my iphone I lost all my info with it... So, wanting to use my iphone for
music, games, etc. I had to create a new apple id, fine, but when I wanted to download a "free" app it says
my apple id hasn't been used with itunes so it keeps asking for credit card info.
I do not remember ever having to have a credit card before!
I am so frustrated... First it was not being able to access my account then having to create a new one, fine!
But now I can't download "free" content without credit card information!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! UGH!!!!!!!
Please, can anyone help...?!?
Sincerely,
"Distressed"If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.
To create an Apple account without a credit card see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 -
My spouse and i both have iphones. I also have a mac and we both have seperate itunes accounts. My spouse wants to purchase an app on my laptop and then sync it to his phone. How do we do this? Also can the app that he purchase also be put onto my phone? How do we do that?
While it is a good idea to do iOS updates on the devices, if it is working alright, you can wait. It sounds as if there is an issue with the Internet connection on the computer you are trying to do the update from. It can time out, 3rd party security software on the computer can interfere with the update. There are any number of reasons. Depending on what type of computer you are using, you can check to make sure iTunes is up to date and then try again. If using security/anti-virus software, you can temporarily disable that and attempt the update again.

my ipad 3 is dissconnected how can i fix it if i dont have a computer
To my knowledge you can't; there are occasionally issues that arise that require plugging the devices into a computer to have iTunes resolve the problem.
Can you use a friend's computer (I recommend creating a new user account to do this just to prevent possible issues with their existing iTunes account, doesn't seem to be as much of a problem recenlty as it once was, but it's always better to avoid the possibility).
You might also find an Apple Store with someone there who is willing to help, or library/school with computers you can access for free in order to fix whatever is going on with the iPad. -
