HT3965 How do i make a new device account for my iphone? It has synced to my ipod account
I purchased an Iphone 5 today. I plugged it into my computer and i opened itunes. Itunes asked if i wanted to created a new device account or if i wanted to connect to another device account. By accident, I clicked on my ipod device account and now my iphone only has my ipod loadout screen (apps i have on my ipod, no contacts, photos that are on my ipod). Is there any way i can disconect from this device acount and make a new one so my iphone goes back to normal?

How do I make my computer the primary for my iPhone 3G?
How do I make my computer the primary for my iPhone 3G? I am able to load music from my iTunes library but unable to delete music or create playlists on the phone from itunes. The computer I set the phone up with (primary) was destroyed.
There is no "main" or " primary" account.
Iphone, ipod touch, ipad will sycn with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content from the device and replace with content from the new computer.
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of the old computer, to the new one. -
How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4?
How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4? I followed the Garage Band process and ended up with the ring tone I want as a AAC audio file. It got stored in my iTunes a a song rather than a ring tone. How do I make it a ring tone vs. a song? I tried dragging it t the Ring Tone category at the bottom of the ITunes list, but it won't alloow me to move it?
There's also an easy to use Applescript over at Doug's Applescripts for iTunes. It automates the whole thing. All you do is set the start and stop time on a file in iTuens and run the script. It will do everything else.

If you don't have a rescue email address, or don't have access to your current one, then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

Do I have to create a new account for my iPhone, or can I use my iPod Touch account?
I have an iPod Touch 32GB which I have an iTunes account for, & I need to know whether I have to create a new iTunes account for my new iPhone 4 16GB, or whether I can use the other one for. Would syncing cause problems?
You don't need another iTunes account for your iPhone. You can link as many iDevices to your account as you wish. Each device will have its own name/identity and you can sync different apps/music/media to each.

How can i get a new casing (skin) for my iphone?
how do i get a new skin case thingy? because my white iphone condition isnt the best. want it new again
You mean the LCD Display and your back panel? Contact apple and see what they can do. I doubt they will really help you. It's more of a niche thing rather than technical difficulty.

HT5622 Do we need to make a new Apple ID for every iPhone we have?
I seem to be getting family members conversations and also when I send a message it gets sent back to me in text message as well as go to who I sent to. Was just curious as to if we all made our own Apple ID if this would be corrected?
RECEIVING MESSAGES INTENDED FOR OTHER DEVICES
This occurs if you are sharing the same Apple ID for imessages.
If you are receiving imessages intended for other devices you can fix this by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
1. Uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both devices if they are iPhones; or
2. On one of the devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID. Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for the iTunes & App store for purchasing if you wish; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and other services.
To prevent merging of your calendars and contacts when syncing calendars and contacts if you are using the same Apple ID for the iCloud account, be sure to set up separate iCloud accounts on each phone with separated IDs. Remember that if you change your ID in iTunes & App store, that apps and other purchased content is forever linked to the ID that was used to download the apps and the apps can only be updated with the ID that was originally used to download them. To download content purchased previously downloaded with a particular ID then that ID needs to be used to download past purchases. If you want all apps to be connected with the same ID you need to delete those apps downloaded with the old ID and download them again with your current and if the apps in question were paid apps then you need to pay again.

When I try to import some songs I purchased from iTunes into GarageBand so I can create a customer ringtone a window pops open stating that I cannot import a rights-protected AAC audio file? I bought the song from iTunes and can play it on my iPhone iPod application. Does not make sense except from a mercenary perspective why I cannot create a custom ringtone from the song and play it on my iPhone when the phone rings. Is there a solution?
You cannot use DRM protected songs for this as they are drm protected to stop you from doing this.
Any itunes plus ( all itunes music sold over the past couple of years or so) can be used to make ringtones. -
I just bought an iphone 4s while my wife has already been using an iphone 4s for months. I wish to sync my iphone to the same macbook(account) as my wife's iphone as we use the same apps and listen to the same music. But we would like to have separate contacts as i do not want my wife's contacts in my iphone and neither does she want mine in hers. How can i separate them? And if i add new contacts to my iphone, how can i maintain separating them whenever i sync in the future?
i have 2 separate IDs and also 2 separate itunes library hoping the contacts won't sync and mix together but both libraries only syncs from/to the same address book in my MBP. i cant separate the separate the contacts in the address book unless i manually move our hundreds of of contacts into different groups then sync from only my group.... but thats just too much... any easier way?

I purchased a new pc. How do I make this the primary pc for iTunes and all of my apple devices? I need to know how to take all Itunes files off old pc and put on new pc. Also, disable old pc.
Backup your library using this User Tip.
The same tool can be used to backup other important user data.
Deauthorise the old computer
Restore the library into the music folder of your new profile. (Use the same tool as for the backup)
Install iTunes and sign in to your account.

My old computer crashed and my itunes is on a new computer, but my I Pad and other devices keep waiting for me to hook up the old laptop for updates. How do I make my new laptop (windows) my primary I Tunes acct.?
It does not matter what the settings are for your iPod. iTunes syncing generally works in one direction only, from iTunes library to iPod. 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. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library -
How can I make a new genius mix? I do not want to make a genius playlist. Genius has already created two mixes but I would like another based on other genres within my extensive music library. I have tried updating Genius from Store>Update Genius but to no avail. Thank you!
Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.
