  • How do I add an ipad to my itunes account which was previously associated with another account and user?

    how do I add an ipad to devices in my itunes account which was previously associated with another account?

    Just sign into your own ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store. Sign out of the old ID and sign into your ID. I get the feeling though, that there is more to what you are trying to do or want to do and I'm not understanding or you are not explaining completely.
    If this is a previously owned iPad, it should have been erased before you got possession of it.

    Try this - Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update.
    After you install iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed when connecred via wireless.

    Yes, unless you first transfer a copy of your iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one.

  • New iPod + account not showing up on a computer that was previously used with a DIFFERENT iPod and account

    I'm very new to all things Apple, but not a computer/tech newbie...it's just that all my experience and knowledge has been aquired with Windows and Android. I received an iPod Touch 5th gen as a Xmas gift, and I'm (mostly) enjoying it...but I've hit the following problem:
    About a year ago, a friend used iTunes on my computer (WinXP Pro) using HIS account/Apple ID, and connected HIS iPod to my PC to "sync" (I'm not sure what he was trying to accomplish, but my computer and his iPod were definitely conected via cable). He no longer needs to use my computer to access iTunes.
    So, now I want to use MY iPod and iTunes account with the same computer that he used. My friend and I "authorized" my computer using my Apple ID, DE-authorized it using his, we signed him out, signed me in, (not necessarily n that order, heheh). BUT... in my iTunes library still show HIS apps, HIS books, and his iTunes-U courses. None of my apps/books/courses etc. appear in iTunes on my computer. (They ARE all on my iPod). I tried un-installing iTunes and re-installing the latest version, and that did not solve the problem.
    I have heard or read, somewhere, that if I connect my iPod to a compter that has someone else's iTunes account on it, my iPod could be un-intentionally "sync'd" to that persons account, and I would lose my apps/music/etc and wind up with the other persons "stuff" on my device (I'm sure there are some subtleties to that that I'm clueless about). My hunch is that the solution lies somewhere in connecting MY new iPod to my computer, but I'm afraid of losing what I've already put on my iPod and/or messing up my friend's devices.
    I appreciated you taking the time to read this; I'm hopeful the solution is simple...thanks!

    Hi lllaass, thanks for your reply. Here are my results, and related follow-up questions, so far:
    lllaass wrote:
    - Make sure your computer is authorized for your iTunes account.
    OK, done, AND DE-authorized for his account (tried this even before I posted).
    lllaass wrote:
    - You said your friend no longer uses your computer. Therefore just delete his media *apps, music etc) for the computer
    When I highlight one of his apps (for example) and select DELETE, a pop-up window opens, warning me that the app will ALSO be deleted from any device "which syncronizes with your iTunes library". How can I be certain that this is not affecting his stuff? Is that ONLY possible if he connects one of his devices to my computer via cable? Is there NO chance that it happens via wi-fi (we share the same wi-fi connection regularly), or even via the cloud?

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I followed the instructions in the link above (computer authorized, signed in under my account, & "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" enabled in iTunes preferences by going to iTunes > Preferences under the Store tab).  However,  none of MY "purchases" (all free apps, books, etc, so far) show up in the library...only my friend's. For what it's worth, when I try to open any of his books, a pop-up opens telling me that the book "can't be viewed using this computer. You can view this book using iBooks on your iOS device".

    - However, yo may have to backup the iPod to your computer and restore from that backup if the iPod sees the computer/library as a new iTunes library. The instructions are here:

    With iTunes 11 you may have to do a Control+B to show the Menu bar and a Control+S to show the Sidebar.
    I have not tried these steps, given the status of the situation being unchanged so far.
    Thanks again Illaass, hopefully there is another approach to try.

  • How can i unsync my husbands iphone 5s with my iphone 4s which was previously his phone

    My husband recently upgraded his 4s to a new 5s. I was desperate for a new phone & wasn't due an upgrade at the time, so he very kindly gave me his 4s as apposed too ebaying. This is my first ever iPhone, however, I have an iTunes account for my 8GB ipod nano & my 16GB ipad2, so over time I've spent a lot of money on a huge collection of music, ibooks & various apps.  I thought it would be a nice touch to repay my hubby the favour for giving me his 4s, by syncing his new 5s up with my iTunes account, allowing him too have access to all the music we both enjoy. However, it's become apparent that he actually has access to a lot more than just my music, we share pretty much all data that is added & stored on one another's phone, i.e. contacts, photos, imessages, etc etc! speaking from us both, even though we don't have anything sinister or disloyal to hide from one another, we both feel it's kind of slightly weird  that we can view & read all info that we store on our phones, & that it's kind of an infringement on each others privacy & rights too personal space, as individuals & with our friends & family. Could someone please, please advise us & HELP us sort this mess? We're so not up there on modern technology many thanks

    Hello lisa.burton35,
    If what you want to do is share your purchases with one Apple ID and have other stuff separate, that's pretty easy.
    Check out the section "Use one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store purchases" in this article.
    Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
    Basically he would use your Apple ID for the Stores (iTunes, Apps, iBooks) and his Apple ID for everything else (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, FaceTime, Messages etc).
    Now if he has been purchasing stuff on his own account then you would have to make some choices on the purchase accounts.
    You may also want to check out Family Sharing, which allows people to share purchases within a familly, each having their own IDs.
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    Enjoy your iPhones,

  • After trying to sync my ipad to a new pc, i get this error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed.  the device is not connected."  but it is connected.

    I have been trying sync my ipad to a new pc and I get this message after the sync fails:
    "Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed.  The device is not connected."
    The device is connected, what is wrong here?

    This is a common problem that is most likely caused by files that are not marked to have proper read/write permissions.
    To solve this problem, follow these steps.
    1. Close iTunes.
    2. Using the finder, Ctrl-click the folder that contains your music files, then select Get Info.
    3. Ensure that the Owner is set to have Read & Write privileges. Choose to Apple to enclosed items…
    Once you have modified permissions, fire up iTunes and try to sync your music again. If it throws the same error message and still doesn’t work, research more about permissions in Mac OS X, as there could be something else not right with the permissions of your music files.

  • How can i sync my iphone with itnes on a new pc.  when i tried to sync it said it will erase the contents on my iphone to sync with the new pc which has no contents

    my old pc was running low in memory and i don't have enough space to back up in order to instal iOS5.  so i got a new pc, installed itunes on it but when i tried to sync my iphone on the new pc, it said it'll erase all contents on my iphone and sync with the new pc which has no contents. it says iphone can only sync with one machine. 
    can you pls help

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    I was trying to update my Ipad to IOS 8, the screen is all black with the apple logo on it and the progress bar is stuck.
    I can't turn it off, and when i connect it to itunes, it doesn't display

    Try putting the iPad in restore mode and see if iTunes recognizes it. The steps are below:
    Turn your iPad off.
    Hold down the Home button and plug it into your computer. Keep holding the Home button until you see a screen telling you to connect to iTunes.
    iTunes should show you a popup saying that there is an iPad that is in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored before you can use it. Click OK.
    Click on Restore iPad
