I just want to sync my files....

Ok So I get a new iPod Touch. I'm trying to figure out how to do something simple as sync to iTunes on two PCs, my home and work PC, to make sure I have all the songs from both. I get it working on my work PC then take it home and sync to my home pc and get a message about erasing my files? Why would I want to do that? So I hit cancel and it exits iTunes? Huh?
So I decide to post this on a community forum in order to get some help. I go to the Apple website and navigate to community and the page loads only the header gives me an error?

Rather than show my results it tries to force me to sign in. Well, shouldn't be needed, but I enter my Apple ID and Password and of course is doesn't work. I guess I must not recall my password, so I do the lost password function and it sends me a password reset. I click on the link and am greeted with:
"Invalid Link
We apologize, but we are unable to verify the link you used to access this page. Please click Continue to return to the main page and start over."
I try reseting the password several more times with same invalid link message. So giving up I  created a new Apple User ID. After creating it it asked me to log back in so I entered my new information and received a confirmation email of my new ID. But guess what, that's right, when I log in - Your Apple ID or password was entered incorrectly. Forgot your Apple ID? 
So after trying to reenter it several times it automatically tries to reset the password again. I comply and get:
"Email has been sent. When you receive your sign in information, follow the directions in the email to reset your password."
I check my email, nothing. Minutes go by, nothing. So I go back to the forum and log back in using the password I had previously tried and it now works?
I am a person with a computer engineering background and having problems, what do people who dont know anything about computers do? It shouldn't be this much trouble to use an MP3 player all I want to do is sync files from both my PCs!

An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. That is why yu are getting the message when yu try to sync it to the other library/computer. You can however, manage music and viodeos among multiple computer by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

    If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

  • [Solved]I just want to transfer some files from one computer to ano...

    Setup:
    Windows LAN (setup by my dad)
    One Arch Linux Box, hardwired and connected through the network without problems.
    One Ubuntu Linux Laptop, connected wirelessly.
    I want to transfer my music, schoolwork, ect, onto my desktop from my laptop. Both machines are part of the same LAN. I want to transfer those files over the network (because I lack a usb drive larger than 1 GB). I know you can do this via rsync, ssh, sftp, samba, ect. But I happen to [censored] hate doing stuff with any network of any sort. I sort of understand networking, but I need some help, because all the millions of guides about doing this on the internet seem not to work, no matter what I try to do.
    I can ping each machine through the other one, and I know both of their host names (I have both of them in front of me, actually.). The Ubuntu machine can see the entire network (through Nautilus, it appears), but cannot see my Arch Linux Box. I'd imagine I could see the entirety of the network on my Arch Computer if I knew how (going to ///:Network on PCmanFM gives me nothing). Both machines can connect to the internet without problems.
    Can someone help me out? (I know, there are plenty of guides through Google and the Arch Wiki, I don't really understand them well enough)
    I don't care if you use a specific method, any will do. I can provide any additional information to you if you just ask.

  • I just want to sync the calendar

    Ever since I turned on iCloud, it has been a calendar nightmare.  I have tried to turn off iCloud and go back to syncing the way that actually works, with a wire.
    Several things:
    1.  When I got my calendar events all re-entered for the second time, I went to iTunes and selected sync all calendars (Why there are 7 calendars to choose from I couldn't say).  Anyway, when I hit sync a pop-up box appears and sez "857 entries are about to be deleted."  WHAT?  I just want the entries on the phone to freaking sync with the computer so I have a backup.  That is all.  No more no less.
    2.  I can't delete all the mailboxes created by iCloud.  Why all the new mailboxes?
    3.  Off subject, but the photo stream without the ability to remove unwanted photos individually renders it about useless for me.  Any help?
    4.  How do I completely turn off iCloud - not only on my iphone but also on my Mac and anywhere else the cancer might be located.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Welcome to Apple community.

    Although your  old Mac cannot use iCloud, you can still access your iCloud calendars etc through the website iCloud.com.

  • Just want to sync Outlook calendar and Iphone without paying extra $$

    I am currently using Mobile Me trial membership to sync my Outlook Calendar and Iphone calendar. Just that only -- I don't want to sync my Outlook e-mail or contacts with my phone. But I don't want to pay $99 for for Mobile Me after the free trial runs out in October.
    Will I have to pay to sync?
    I need to sync them a couple times a day, it has to be secure, and I don't want to do it manually with a wire.
    Any advice?

    Jon,
    I could connect the cord and sync each night, but that's too difficult to remember.
    That's how I did it for a year with the first iPhone. It wasn't that bad.
    Still, over the air synching is pretty cool, especially if you update your calendar throughout the day and always want the latest information on the phone.

  • I just want to burn some files to disc....

    Idealy I would like to put in the compact fash card and have my macbook just go burn it for me, but I would be happy to just right click on a folder (any folder), and hit burn... any way to do this? Thanks!

    Ok, well, I found this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh854.html
    I'll look up that link next, the thing about the link above is, it said to drag your files to the {blank} disc .... I did not have a blan disc on my desktop ... when I was prompted, after inserting the blank disc, I cancelled the prompt, I did not know I had to choose "open in finder" - I think that was the option.... but, I rather just right click on a file or folder.... I guess that would have to be setup in automator? Anyone have a link on how to set that up? Perhaps, allot me to insert a compact fash card, then have the label for the CD be the date of the folder? Or... name of the folder?

  • I do not want to save every file I download. just want to open a file and move on. I do not see an option to just open or run the download without saving.

    Please give an option to just open and run a download without saving.
    I have a bunch of the things saved in the download folder that I have no clue what all of it is. Please I do not want to save everything I download, I would like to just open a file move on.
    Thank you.

    sorry but there is no option like this.
    but if you like you can delete them manually
    for these :
    1.open downloads from menu button on right or by simply pressing (Ctrl +J )
    2.Then select the downloaded file you want to delete by a single click on it.
    3. You will find a folder type icon on right side of that , in which you should click.
    4. Then it will open folder where the selected file saved.
    5. Then you can delete that file .
    OK done

  • Simply just want to save a file!

    Maybe I'm just making this more complicated than it is... but how do you simply just save a document to your mac to be able to email? I'm trying to save my resume to be able to upload it for job applications, and it's not wanting to work for me...

    If you're editing the document on icloud.com you have to download it to your Mac and access it there.  Are you sure that the company you are sending to accepts the Pages file format?

  • Help-just want to convert .mov file

    Hi; just upgraded to quicktime pro for one reason.
    I have a digital camera that records video in .mov files.
    I want to convert the .mov files to mpeg; so that I can edit them in WindowsMovie maker.
    I have a 35meg .mov file that I just converted to MPEG4; and now it looks awful. it is only 3mb. can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    i called apple; but of course--they don't offer support.
    Jim

    First off, you should try to make the editing file an uncompressed format since you are going to wind up re-compressing after the editing is finished and multiple compressions will make any file look bad. Try uncompresed avi or DV stream and see if Movie Maker will accept one of those.
    As for the problem with the file you compressed looking awful that is probably because the mpeg4 wound up with a very low datarate. Click on Options in the export file box and make the datarate higher and see if that improves the look.

  • I just want to convert a file

    My file is 150mb so it wont let me convert it to word....have I just wasted my time and money on this program?

    Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat.   By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
    If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
    You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

  • I just want to sync photos not video from my 3gs. Possible?

    Everytime I sync my 3gs with my computer videos from my 3gs that have previously synced to my computer sync over and over again.  My computer / itunes is not recognizing that it already synced the video.   It is taking all of my computer space!

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    Type "move itunes library" or similar into the google search bar to learn how to copy the itunes library.
    Your computer should have a method for moving everything else (pics/docs/files/contacts/calendars/etc).

  • New Ipod touch won't sync music from my dell laptop and I haven't done anything with Itunes as I just want to sync for now.  thanks

    I am new to Apple and can't sync my music from laptop to Ipod touch even tho my laptop recognizes the Ipod.  I haven't signed up for Itunes yet as I'm doing one thing at a time and don't see where Itunes is connected to syncing music.  Also, if I bought 8 gig, then why do I only have 6 when I haven't added anything yet?
    thanks

    - You need an Apple ID/iTunes account to use the iPod with iTunes.
    See the Users Gudie for how to set and use yur iPod, including syncing music.
    iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.0 Software)
    You can also use the iTunes Help n iTunes for more information on syncing.
    - The 8 GB only has abou6 6.3 GB avaailable to the users inse the difference is takenup bu the operating system and of how GB is advertized and used.

  • My iPhone will no longer show up in my iTunes. I have tried to look at resolutions but for all of them the "Device" bar must be there and i cannot even get that to pop up. I just want to sync my phone. Can anyone help? :(

    Please help. I dont know what to fo i keep getting a USB Device Not Recoganized pop up. This has never happened before and I have no clue what to do. I also cannot manually sync my phone through settings because it says that my computer is not available.

    I'd try removing and then re-installing iTunes.  An uninstall will not remove your music etc.  That should re-install the usb drivers etc. I don't think you can separately delete and install the drivers.
