How can I get my playlists/music on my Itunes libray and iphone? I only have it on my iPad and cannot figure out how to sync to all.

I have an iPad mini and iphone 5s. My ipad has all of my music on it but my iphone won't sync any music or playlist to it. Iphone has a random choice of about 20 songs on its playlist. My itunes library does not show any playlists or music/app purchases. I already clicked the "Transfer Purchases" button and it didn't do anything. My icloud is turned on on both devices. Not sure what I am doing wrong... (I'm also not a pro with apple technology)

I downloaded Itunes 10.2 on new desktop, ran sync with my ipod touch (Gen 2) and have all my music on new PC. Just can't get it to sync with my Apple TV (Gen1). I have made music purchases on Apple TV and cannot get them to Ipod/Iphone? Help

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

All my photos have been imported to iPhoto library. Is it safe therefore to delete all photos in the Finder pictures folder? It seems crazy to have them duplicated (all are backed up externally). And are they full size images in iPhoto?

All my photos have been imported to iPhoto library. Is it safe therefore to delete all photos in the finder picture folder? It seems crazy to have them dupllcated ( all are backed up anyway). And are they the full sized images stored in iPhoto?

Assuming you have iPhoto set to the Default setting, then yes, your full sized photos are copied into the iPhoto Library and so you can delete your own stored in the Finder.
Easiest way to check: Select a photo in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Is it stored within the iPhoto Library? You can tell easily in the Finder's column view.
As an FYI:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

This may seem basic, but I just discovered that I do not have a share button (the thing with the little arrow popping out) to the left of my address bar on my Mac. I do have one on my IPad and really like it. Why don't I have this on my Mac?

This may seem basic, but I just discovered that I do not have a share button (the one with the little arrow jumping out) to the left of my address bar on Safari for my Mac. I do have one on my IPad and use it often. Can anyone tell me why my Mac is missing this icon and how to get it? Thanks.

Going from Lion to Mountain Lion is considered an upgrade (because it is not free), not an update.
So yes, given that you have Lion, you are up to date. But if you can, you might consider going to Mountain Lion for a fee.
Here's what you need to do the upgrade:

I have plenty of duplicated contacts in I cloud. How can I delete all the contacts in the cloud and resynchronize

I synchronized my contacts from my PC to I cloud. Unfortunately the contacts from I pad and I phone were also synchronized which gives me plenty of duplicates. How do I delete all of my contacts in I cloud to resynchronze and have the contacts only once in the I cloud.
Thank you for your valuable information. I am sure I am not the only one.

I have two groups on the iphone that were automatically generated: icloud and "on my mac".
when I erased all contacts on the computer and synchronized it with the phone, it only synchronized the icloud contacts but no the ones on my phone under "on my mac". so how can I get them into the icloud group....
thx

How can I delete all music files from my iPhone and start again?

I rebuilt my iTunes library. I was under the impression that the first post-rebuild sync would erase all media from my iPhone.
Under the Summary tab in iTunes, I checked Sync only checked songs and videos, and in my music list all songs are unchecked.
Under the Music tab in iTunes, I checked Sync Music, and because all my songs are unchecked it shows 0 songs.
However, after syncing, the status bar at the bottom of the Music tab still shows all my songs previously loaded as taking up memory, and when I open the Music app on my iPhone all those songs are still listed (although they are not playable).
How can I clear everything out and start from scratch?

How can I delete all the music from my iPhone and reinstall it?

I am trying to delete all the music from my iPhone 5 and reinstall it. The names of some of the albums and the artists did not import correctly from my CDs. I went back into iTunes and made corrections, synced my phone and no changes were made to the music on my phone. And two of the albums (I only have albums, not individual songs) are duplicated on the phone, though they are not in my iTunes library.
I have gone into iTunes, selected the device at the top right corner, selected all the music that showed up in the window - gone to the Edit menu, selected "all" and then "delete." The list of tracks disappears from the device list. I then synced the phone again, and the albums are still on the phone. What am I missing, please? I've even shut the phone down and restarted it, synced it again, but nothing changes.
Help, please?

Follow the instructions here or here; the first set of instructions may require a power source other than a computer's USB port, so you should have one of these before proceeding. Your iPod is a fourth generation model.

How do i delete all my emails from my ipad

How can I delete all of the messages in my email? It keeps telling me its unable to delete. I would like to be able to mass delete instead of deleting one at a time.

The only way to mass delete would be to go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and remove that email account.

I have installed iPhoto for iPad and its taking a lot of time to sync the photos from the library

I have been waiting for like 3 hours and iPhoto App can't sync all my albums. I don't have a lot of photos and its weird because the App hangs many times. I have the new iPad.

iPhoto for iOS does not sync your photos. To sync photos you use iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad.
When iPhoto for iOS runs it checks your photo library. If there have been changes to your photos iPhoto needs to update the library. It will compare the library in existence with the photos on your pad and update the reference to those things which have changed. If you have a lot of photos this will take some time. If iPhoto for iOS shuts down during this process you might have some corrupt photos on your ipadthat need to be fixed or deleted first.

I'm getting a message that my iCloud storage is almost full (5.0 GB, 186 mb remaining). I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I've deleted all but 200 photos on each of these devices. Data storage is still same.

I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each). I do not store tunes or videos. After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.

Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size. Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen. If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right? Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device. It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system. So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups. With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
Can I expedite this? Well of course you can. If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now. Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.)

I am using MacBook Pro and running 10.8.4. iTunes version 11.0.4. Several of the cd's i have imported recently have been split into multiple albums by ITunes. How do I bring all the bonus tracks together with the original album?

HT1495 I have 3 iphones, an ipad, and several ipods. how do I give them seperate apple id's and create a master account. This way I do not have to purchase music for each device individually. For now we just share an id. This no longer works for us.

I need help! I have multiple devices and would like everything linked to one master account, however, I need seperate IDs so that we can use imessage and facetime on each device individually. How do I do this?

I think I will do this. I will use my apple ID and set face time and message to work independently. That solves one problrem. My other problem and maybe my bigger problem is that if I am using my apple ID, how do I iflter all of this so that my kids don't see my contacts, get my apps, etc. ?

How do i delete all my data from the ipad 4 from my PC?

I know what my password should be but when I made it I guess I put it in wrong. so basically, I don't know my password. I tried putting it in but now everything is disabled and it says "connect to itunes" . now I just want to restore it but everytime I try restoring it, it says "The iPad software update server could not be contacted." "Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active or try again later." This happened last night and ive tried about 30 times. the method I have been using is disconnecting the USB, turning the iPad off, then turning it back on while the USB is plugged back in. After that it says "connect to itunes" on the iPad. So what should I do now? I just got it for Christmas and I don't mind all the data being erased cause its not hard to put back on. so PLEASE just tell me how to do it. I also never synced it to my computer. so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me! And if you could tell me, how much would it cost to bring it into apple and they unlock it for me? id rather not do this, but if I have no choice, I will.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!!!!! :S
#PLEASEHELP

For more secure reason, I'd suggest to double check whether the data is removed cleanly with Erase All Content and Settings. The data is still recoverable as my pass experience. And no all devices are capable of using this method. Privacy is much more important. I highly recommend this method instead to permanently delete everything on your iPad by overwriting random digits to existing data. And there is no chance to get those data back.
