I Messed Up My Sister's iTunes...please help!
When I didn't have access to my own computer, I used my sister's macbook to update the OS and backup my ipad. She had never used her iTunes before, so I signed in with my apple ID. Now all of my apps are on her macbook. (I didn't have any music or videos--only a lot of apps.) She just bought an iPhone, and now she wants to use iTunes, of course, and purchase her own apps.
She tried signing in with her own apple ID, but all of my apps still appear when she does. And the few apps she downloaded also appear, interspersed with all my apps. I searched for a solution to this issue, and the only answer I can find is that she would need to create a new user account on her macbook and download another itunes to it, and sign in with her apple ID there. However, she does not want to do this--too much trouble to switch users everytime she wants to use itunes. She wants to delete all of my apps from her macbook. I have since been able to access my own computer, and I have once again updated the OS and backed up my iPad to my own computer.
So, my question is this: if she deletes all my apps stored on her macbook, would it screw up my itunes account? (Since they are already backed up to my own computer...) If I de-authorize her computer from my itunes account, would this solve the problem? I just want her to be able to have her own iTunes account on her own macbook, but not mess up my itunes account.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks...
On her computer...
Launch iTunes.
iTunes prefs > Devices and delete all backups.
iTunes menu Store > Deauthorize computer for your account.
Quit iTunes.
Delete the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder.
Launch iTunes.
iTunes will start up empty.
This will not affect your account at all.

How to solve this problem that I havei've had a few issues like this.
I've found that it is an issue with items that are already on your phone.
several troubleshoots.
1) uncheck everything from syncing (apps, music, tv shows, movies, podcasts, etc), try to perform a sync, it most likely will work. Then, sync after checking each item individually (check the sync box for videos, then sync, check the sync box for podcasts, then sync, check the sync box for music, then sync, etc). One of two things will happen, 1) you will fix the problem, or 2) you will identify exactly what part of the sync setup is the culprit.
2) if the above doesn't work, I've found that it is likely an issue with files that are on your phone but your phone doesn't exaclty recognize (for example, I had copies of music on my phone that didn't show up in the music app, I went in on itunes and manually deleted those songs from my phone and that fixed the sync). to do this, check the "manually manage music and videos" box at the bottom of "summary" while your phone is connected to itunes. Then, go to the left hand pane in itunes and find your iphone device, click the drop-down arrow that shows all the categories for media on your iphone. Go to the music category in your iphone on itunes and delete all the music that shows up. Try to perform a sync - it likely will work. After this, you can uncheck the manually manage music box and re-sync your phone as normal
let me know if either works -

My pc only recognises my iPad 2 as a camera won't sync in iTunes please help
I take it that it is through Wiindows Explorer you are able to track the iPad as an external device?
Disconnect your iPad and try a Reset - hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 15 seconds.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC.
Also, try a different USB port on your PC, a few times if necessary. -

I suspect your error was 1015, not 1051. This usually involves a jailbroken iPhone, use Google to find your solution.

I cant able to save Re-Corrected metadata in itunes,Please help me
The link you gave me leads to a feed which is properly constructed as far as it goes but as I say is empty. Looking at the coding the text 'mp3' dopes not appear anywhere in it. You've constructed your feed in Wordpress/Powerpress and I'm afraid I can't advise on those. What have you done since originally posting?
You can see the text of your feed in the Feedvalidator report (you can ignore the two 'errors').
As you will see there is no 'item' tag nor any reference to mp3. If you are seeing a media file I can't explain that unless you aren't actually looking at the feed. The associated web page, http://www.pluggingintolife.com/podcast-page/ , has an embedded player referencing an MP3 file with a suitable URL (e.g. http not https) but it's not made it into the feed. -

I don't know my rescue email and security password.i just added an alternative email address but it doesn't send there....also I just added 25$ on iTunes.please help!
The reset link will only send reset info to your rescue email address, an alternate email address is not used for account security. If you don't know what your rescue email address is (you won't be able to view/change it until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to view and/or change your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -
