Is there a way to see on my iPhone my entire library (more than 2.000 CDs) without having all the files stored? I've noticed that, for mistake, I had some songs of my library in grey (the mp3 was not working)

I have 3 iPods on my iTunes account. Two of which are my daughters. I have purchased a new iPod touch for my daughter, and want to establish her own iTunes account WITHOUT having all of her music go away when we do this.

I multiple ipods (3 different users) on the same itunes account. All of the music is either from cd's or purchased from iTunes legally. A new iPod has been purchased, and I want to open a new iTunes account for the daughter so I can actually use iClound myself. How can I open a new account without losing all of the music that is tied to MY account, that is hers. I would like not to lose all of that music. Thanks

Content is permanently tied to the account that it was purchased with.
Simply plug the iDevice into the computer and sync the content you want.

How do i sync the iTunes from my iPhone 6 to my new MacBook without removing all the music from my phone?

I have just purchased a new MacBook and am having trouble syncing the existing iTunes on my iPhone 6 to it. The only option it gives me is to wipe the music on my phone and replace it with the existing playlists on my iTunes (on the MacBook). For some reason all the purchases I have made on my iPhone are not always transferred on to this computer.. help please!
Many thanks

How do I set up 2 different IPOD's on the same computer without having all the songs and games from the first one copy onto the second one?

how do I set up 2 different IPOD's on the same computer without all the songs and games from 1 copying to the other?

- Disable autosyncing: go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods ...syncing">
- Connect the iPod and go to the music, apps and other panes for the iPod and check the boxes that say only sync the checked items.

I cant update my iPod to iOS 5 without losing all the songs I've bought from the iPod, how do I update without losing them?

So, I've been trying to update my iPod to iOS 5 because every app I want is requires iOS 5. When I try and update it on the computer it wont let me, it will go for hours saying it's "backing up". I decided I'd try and just restart it, but when I click it, it says that if I continue iTunes will delete any songs that aren't on iTunes library, and the songs I bought from the iPod itself are not on the iPod yet. I don't know what to do. If I don't update the software I wont be able to update any apps, or get new ones, and if I to update I'll loose the songs I've bought. Please help.

Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not onclude synced media like apps and music. See:

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

Outlook will not sync after update to iTunes 10.7 and iOS6 on my phone

I am pulling hair. On one of two PCs that were nicely syncing with Outlook and the iCloud for Calendar, Reminders and Notes (not Mail) data entered on the PC does not show up in iCloud or either my iPhone or iPad. I can update in the browser in iCloud and the updates quickly show up on my phone.
Support and Instructions at Apple do not reflect all the chnages that iOS6 created. It is all a little more cryptic and vague than I can fiind solutions in.
I must use Outlook. it is faster and more compact that a web bases sting of apps in iCloud and other work arounds like Google Calendar to share my calendars across four devices.
One PC was just find. It is running WIndows 7 Home Premium and is 32 bit. WHen I opened iCloud Control Panel on this PC the thing asked me to set up a @me.com Apple ID. I already had one and have no idea what is was really being used for. I have never sent or recieved any mail with this. My Apply ID is or was a @gmail.com account. Even with makign this update the PC opened iCloud Control Panel and I have the option to select the 'mail, calendar, ...' box. That control panel shows my @gmail.com on the main panel with my name.
One PC#2 that used to wrok just fine and across the devices, the iCloud control Panel does not show the option and has a link to icould.com to set the perferences. That has been done and checked. The control panel asks immediatedly on opening it for me to go to Windows's Programs and Features and run a change to repair iCloud. Done 10 times tonight. I close it all. Restart the PC#2 and this whole loop just goes on and on. This is a 64 bit machine and there is supposed to be a 64 bit iTunes installer. I don't know if it is critical to syncing these devices with Outlook but IT CAN NOT be found. Apples support says that a 64 bit installer is needed to install Itunes but the link that me to a downloa dpage that list the requirements and seems to clearly say that a 64 bit iTunes Installer is needed. I cannot find such a thing.
SO, where is the 64 bit Installer for iTunes? Did a new version of iTunes change this requirement? since I was doing just fine before the update to 10.7 and iOS 6.
More importantly, why will the Icloud Control Panel not find Outlooks 2007 ready to connect to?
I read in a community note that there should be an @me.com email account in Outlook's data files and an iCloud pst folder. They are there.
Must both machines and both deveices (iPad and iPhone) all use the same Apples ID and if so How to I get PC#2 to use my @gmail.com Apple ID?
I'll even live with the @me.com or @icloud.com Apples ID. But if I do, must I change it in all the devices? I know this is recommended but the instructions also say these can be mixed. I think the PC #2 does not know what Apple ID to use or which one will match the server's ID for my account. But it could be something else I am missing here.

If it makes you feel better, I'm having a similar problem on my iPhone 3Gs. I can't update apps through iTunes anymore. I can update most apps via my phone either wirelessly or over a 3G connection, but some apps are so big that I can only update them over a wireless connection. I'm wondering if there isn't some collusion going on between Apple and AT&T to hoodwink customers into updating apps over AT&T's wireless connection, thus significantly boosting phone data usage. I smell a class action lawsuit coming on if this isn't addressed quickly.

I've got movies on my computer on itunes, however my parents wish that i use my laptop for itunes stuff, and i cant figure out how to get those movies to be able to sync with my ipod again, it wont recognize that I have them. Suggestions?

While you're in itunes, with the leftside window open, click on Apps. Then, look across the top middle of your itunes screen. You will see several choices: All, Iphone/iPad Touch, Ipad, Ipod Games, List, and Updates.
Clicking on each of these gives you a different view.
When you select ALL you will see all of your apps. When you select Updates you sill see only the apps that need to be updated. When you are in Updates you will see the Update button in the lower right corner.
Hope this helps.

Hello, BAHannebaum.
The article below should resolve any device not being recognized in iTunes issue that you are experiencing. The most common issues are the Apple Mobile Device Support driver or iTunes is outdated. Start with the first step and test the results after each step processed.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You need to use the Apple IDs that you created for them for iCloud as well as iTunes. You will also find that you need to use them for messages and face time.

I have an iPad and an iPhone 6. They are on two different Apple ids. How do I do I change the Apple id on my phone to match my iPad?

On the phone, go to Settings, and change the iCloud and iTunes Store AppleIDs (sign out of the one you have, sign into the one you want). Note that you can't transfer apps from one AppleID to another, so you may still be prompted for your old AppleID password to update any apps that you installed under that ID.
