I CANNOT SYNC MY IPOD DUE TO TOO MANY ID'S. hOW DO i USE JUST ONE ID AND GET RID OF THE OTHERS SO I CAN AUTHORIZE THIS COMPUTER TO SYNC.

I cannot sync my ipod classic with this computer. For some reason, my computer will not authorize my ipod. I seem to have 5 usernames, but I only want to use one I use my ipod 4 my job; this is extremely frustrating. the serial # has been scratched off my ipod, so when I called support, I couldn't read it to the automated service accurately. HELP!!!!!

It sounds like you have reached the authorization limit of 5 computers. So if you need to authorize another one, either deauthorize any other computers have authorized in the past that you still have physical access to or use the Deauthorize All option as described in this article.

How you restore your security pass code if you have disabled your iPod, due to too many pass code attempts

How you restore your security pass code if you have disabled your iPod, due to too many pass code attempts?

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

Upgraded from a nano to a touch..How do I switch/sync the new touch and get rid of the nano?

Upgraded from a nano to a touch. How to I switch the two on my computer to erase the nano, and use only the touch. I dont want it to think it belongs to someone else. But I dont want to start all over and lose the music. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just sync the media from your iTunes library to the iPod touch.
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
On the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Syncing your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions.

Attempted to set up an HP wireless printer and my whole network is now a mess. HP help told me I had too many signals, as I have a Time Capsule 4 Macs and 4 Airport Express set up. Anyone else figure this out?

I attempted to set up a new HP wireless printer. It is unstable and HP support says I have too many devices since I have a time capsule and 4 airport express either extending my network or being used for a different printer or stereos. Anyone else find that their Airport Express/Extreme interferes with a wireless printer. If so, what's the point?

I have a similar model, the HP 8500A here in the home office that I originally hooked up using wireless on an AirPort system consisting of an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule and 2 AirPort Express devices.
The HP was originally hooked up to the "main" router using wireless as a test to see how wireless would perform. No issues with setup or performance over the first few weeks. I did eventually change the device to connect using Ethernet once I had room to move the device near the AirPort Extreme.
HP is pulling your leg with the advice about too many devices. The AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule will handle up to 50 wireless devices. In my case, I did nothing except follow the setup procedure and restart the entire network....something that I always do when I make any change to the network.

TS1368 Attempting to set up new computer to Sync with my Iphone5. Downloaded I tunes but do not find way to authorize this computer or sync

need help getting new computer accepted as ok to use with i tunes & to sync with I phone 5

You should be able to authorise your account via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes- if you are using iTunes on a PC then try pressing Alt-S and the Store menu should appear (or control-B and the menus should show, they are hidden by default on iTunes 11 on PCs) e.g.
If you syncing to that computer for the first time then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

How do i authorize this computer to sync with my i phone

When I go to I tunes and select the "store" option, I dont get an option to "authorize this computer". What am i doing wrong?

You're looking in the wrong place.
If you're using Windows, press the Alt and S keys. If you're using Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the screen and click on Store.

I have totally uninstalled Firefox--too many problems. Now I want to install a previous version, 9.0. The only versions I can find are 10.0--NO, NO, NO--and 3.6. WHERE DO I FIND VERS. 9.0??

Just give me an address for version 9.0--please!

Any extension that was properly updated for Firefox '''4.0''', shouldn't automatically be disabled in Firefox 10.0 for being "incompatible". I have never used CoolIris myself, when I tried it a few years ago it "sucked the life" out of my PC, so I can't comment specifically about that add-on. But I have 60 extensions installed and only one was disabled with the Firefox 10.0 update - an extension that was not correctly updated a year ago; it still works in Firefox but I have to play with it after every Firefox update to get the new version to accept it and use it.
Contact CoolIris support to find out what the problem is with their Firefox add-on, as to why they haven't updated it beyond Firefox 9.0 yet - http://www.cooliris.com/help/
This page - http://www.cooliris.com/help/desktop/?p=self_help - to me indicates that they may have a lot of fixing to so, it's not properly recognizing that Firefox 10.0 is out and a valid version - it says: <br />Your current version: Firefox 10.0 <br />
Most recent version available: Firefox 5.0 <br />
Almost like that help page thinks Firefox 10.0 is being recognized as Firefox 1.0 instead. I seen a few other pages that have misread the Firefox 10.0 version number and mentioned an older version as being the "oldest compatible version". <br />''Shades of website Y2K compliance haunting us from the grave?''
