I have set up iTunes Match on only 3 devices (my Windows 7 desktop and 2 iPhones) and am now trying to authorise my new Windows 8 (Toshiba) laptop but I keep failing to authorise the laptop using my one-and-only Apple ID. Does anyone have advice to solve this problem?!

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

HT1386 I have a new computer with windows 8.1. I want to add the 52 Gb of music now on my old ipod to itunes on the computer. I don't want to wipe out the files on the ipod by syncing to the new computer which has no music files on it yet! How can I do

I have a new computer with windows 8.1. I want to add the 52 Gb of music now on my old ipod to itunes on the computer. I don't want to wipe out the files on the ipod by syncing to the new computer which has no music files on it yet! How can I do this?

Apparently I wasn't clear. The music on my ipod is but a subset of all the music on my external hard drives. I want to import only the songs and playlists from my existing ipod into the itunes library on my new computer, which currently has no music or playlists. How can I do this?

I was trying to sync my latest photos from iphone onto iphoto but pressed restore instead of sync. Now it's deleted my latest photos taken a week ago. Is there a way to get back those photos via backup somehow?

I was trying to sync my latest photos from iphone onto iphoto but pressed "restore" instead of "sync". Now it's erased my latest photos taken on my iphone a week ago and erased music saved in itunes library. Is there a way to find these photos and music via backup?

Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone.
My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac. As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is.
Any thoughts on this?

I have tried back ups and restoring, resetting, and even updating the pages app. And nothing has worked.

I have 3 apple devices and I use the same apple ID for all 3. I would like to create a new I'd for one of my devices, but do not want to loose the apps on that device. Anyone know how I can do this?

Create a new ID:
On the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that under You can be reached at only the newID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
- Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out your ID and sign in with the new one.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Copy your entire itunes folder from the old computer to the new one.

Is there someway to disable the Outlook sync process when I hook up to my computer? I don't mind the AOL e-mail sync, but do not want or need the Outlook contacts/e-mail sync.

With the phone connected, go to the info tab for the phone in iTunes. That's where you specify what contacts, calendars, e-mail accounts, etc. to sync and to what applications.

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

I am trying to download an app for my ipod touch, but its not showing up in the app store. Its the icess app for controlling a bluetooth helicopter

I recently got my daughter an iCess RC helicopter. It works via bluetooth and can be used with Apple and Android devices. She has a ipod touch, but when trying to do a search for "iCess" in the app store, nothing comes up. It shows up on my PC in the itunes store, but how do I get it on the ipod touch or its apps store?
Also having the same problem when trying to locate the app with my iPad and its app store. I got it installed on one of my android devices via the Google Play store so I know its there & works. Any ideas or suggestion on what is going on here with the iPod and iPad app stores?

The RC helicopter's directions say its available in the App store for Apple and here it is in the iTunes store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icess/id558793179?mt=8 (released on 6/19/2013)
How do I get this to show up on my iPad and/or iPod touch app stores so I can then download and install it as needed?

Can i have the same itunes acct for two ipods (one nano and one shuffle)? the shuffle is new and i want to duplicate the music. how do i do this?

I have a nano that's a couple years old with an itunes acct. Just got a shuffle and want to duplicate the playlist on the shuffle. When I plug in the shuffle to the existing acct nothing happens. How do I copy that music onto my shuffle. thanks.

Yes.
You can sync as many ipods/iphone/ipads as you like to one computer/library. This has nothing to do with your issue.
Itunes does not "see" the ipod?
iPod shuffle (4th generation): Not seen in iTunes
iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop
