I just got a new Iphone 4. My husband already has an iphone 4 and an Ipod touch, with itunes set up on 2 different computers. How can I access the songs on either of his itunes accounts?

How do I get access to Itunes if my husband has already downloaded itunes on our 2 computers and his iphone 4 is the device for one computer and the ipod touch is the device for the second? I have already set up my own itunes account, but it doesn't recognize my phone on either of the computers. Do I need to down load a second itunes software on the computer just for my new device. That would seem ridiculous considering we are married and share all of the music together. Please help

There is no "adding" a device.  Simply plug the iDevice into the computer.  iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

  • How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered.

    How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered or they show 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1.

    Poor metadata needs to be corrected if the album is to display properly in iTunes. iTunes sees an "album" as any collection of tracks with the same Album title and the same Album Artist (or Artist if Album Artist isn't set). Each track of the album should have distinct Track V of W and Disc X of Y vaules. W,X,Y are optional, but X may be needed for multi disc albums.
    See Gropuing tracks into albums for details.

  • How can I transfer the songs from a CD to iTunes if my computer doesn't have a CD drive?

    I have iTunes installed in my personal computer and that's the only computer where I connect my ipod touch (5th generation) and where I have all my music. But the problem is that this personal computer doesn't have a CD drive. I was thinking about installing iTunes on another computer (that does have a CD drive) and transfering the songs from the CD here and then connect my ipod to transfer the album. But will my ipod synce in this new computer and make a security copy and delete all my previous songs (from my personal computer)? And also, will I be able to transfer the album from my ipod to the iTunes library in my personal computer? Or is there any other solution for this? Thank you.

      Or is there any other solution for this?
    Be careful, the method you describe will indeed delete the contents of your iPod. 
    Instead, after you rip your CD on the other computer, copy the resulting song files to a flash drive.  Then copy them from the flash drive to your main computer, and add them to your iTunes library.

  • HT1206 Since transferring my iTunes from my pc to my Mac I can't play the songs I purchased on my old account with a email address I no longer use, so all my songs on my play list that I had on my PC I can't play, nor can I deauthorize my computer.

    Please help.

    That email address which you no longer use, was it created as an Apple ID?
    Yes? Great
    Know/Remember the password for that Apple iD?
    Yes? Great
    Goto Appleid.apple.com - Manage - Sign In - Edit Old Email Apple ID to New Valid Email - Save - You get to keep your purchases. [Unless you already created a whole new Apple ID with the most recent Valid Email address... At bottom of reply.]
    Old unavailable Email created as an Apple ID?
    No, Sorry unable to merge purchases - those will be gone
    Yes To Apple iD?
    Great
    Know/Remember the password for that apple ID?
    No, hmmm a few things - however still not a gaurantee
    1 - Reset Password at My Apple ID [Appleid.apple.com]
    Reset Password - Found under Manage
    Chose either [Email Authentication OR Secureity Questions]
    [Email Authentication will only work IF you had/have a recovery email set up - Other wise hope you remember the answers to your questions]
    2 - Contact AppleCare Account Secureity via Expresslane.apple.com
    Note: Hope you can Verify your information - As only way to have password reset
    Not able to Verify Information? Sorry purchases are now no longer available.
    And ajnother Note:
    If you have already went and create a New Apple ID with your most recent Valid Email Address - you are not at all completely out of luck [Unless you are unable to reset your password for the Original Apple iD then you are.]
    But can create another [Valid/bogus] email from a free domain.
    Once get password reset for Old un-available Email Address Apple ID
    Then you first want to edit the New Apple ID with the other new email
    This frees up the email you want to use for your apple id
    Sign into Older Apple ID edit with email you want to use.
    Hope this information helps you!

  • I just got a new imac, App store says I downloaded garageband update and it says it's installed.  But there's nothing new to it.  Is there something I'm suppose to do?  I restarted the imac, no difference

    I just got a new imac, App store says I downloaded garageband update and it says it's installed.  But there's nothing new to it.  Is there something I'm suppose to do?  I restarted the imac, no difference

    Weird, that's not the one I was initially downloading but I think that is the one that installed, so I think that solves that.  But now the problem is that the one I was updating is no longer being shown.  It's over 1gb that had all the loops and instruments.
    Now when I try to use say strings lunar strings.  It tells me to download at app store.  It doesn't show.  I go back to garageband try again and says the instrument or loop is currently being installed.  But it's not.

  • "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

    this just started w/ me yesterday.  I was running 10.5.3, and nothing changed - the message just appeard out of nowhere.  I update to the latest iTunes 10.6 but the message is the same.
    Sounds like probably some sort of Library file corruption.
    The two options available in the message box are "Download" and "Quit".  Download is useless because I'm already running the latest.  Quit is pretty useless.
    I was going to just create a new Library and re-import all my music.  Of course, all my iPhone sync settings are going go have to be recreated.

  • I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work

    I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

    In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
    I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

  • HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?

    I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC.  The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library.  How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • I have a new Iphone 5, my wife has a 4S and an iPod Touch.  When I sync my new 5 to the Mac, it pick up ALL of the stupid game apps that my wife uses on her two devices.  How can I keep them separate?

    go to itunes preferences, store, uncheck automatic downloads. also when your phone is connected you can click  on apps and only check the ones you want on your phone, go down to the bottom right and click apply.

  • I have copied my CDs into iTunes  (currently running v11) to play on my iPod.  I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running.  How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?

    I have copied my CDs into iTunes  (currently running v11) to play on my iPod.  I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running.  How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?
    Thanks

    I tried Notpod but can't get it to work.  Part of the problem, I suspect, is that I can't create a folder on my player (a SanDisk Clip+).  I also can't do this in Windows Explorer.  Whilst I can see the Clip+ in Explorer, the option to create a new folder isn't there.
    The error mesag I get in Notpod is:
    "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application.  If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.  If you click Quit the application will close immediately.
    InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'SelctedIndex'. Parameter name: SelectedIndex"
    Then, when I plug the Clip+ into a USB port, iTunes thinks it is my iPad - which is because, I guess, Notpod hasn't worked.
    I can drag and drop files from the Music folder where my iTunes tracks are stored onto the Clip+ and they get converted but I'd rather synchronise a Playlist from iTunes if I can.
    Thanks anyone who can help

  • I have tried to connect and purchase on my iTunes Store, but forgot security questions. Not even Customer service is able to help me. How can I spend the 20 bucks I have on my account now if even the phone assistants can't help me?

    I tried to Purchase on the i Tunes store, but forgot security questions. Not even Customer Service is able to help me. How can I spend the 20 bucks I have on my account now if even the phone assistants can't help me? I can't rememeber any answer to any of mu questions and I can't even register my product (iPod Classic) even though I purchased it 6 months ago. Customer Service held me on the line for 30+ minutes asking me all the time if I rememeber one anwer to my questions (to which I repeatedly said no) and there seems to be no way to circumvent that security system, not even with my second email, also registered on My Itunes. Isn't there any way for me to get those 20 dollars back I already have in your store or at least reset my security questions if I don't rememeber?
    Thank you very much.
