Hello Elisiani, welcome to discussions.
I would recommend that you create separate playlists for you and your brother. Then set the iPods to only sync to the playlists you want.

I've just upgraded Firefox and lost all my bookmarks. None of the suggested "fixes" brings them back. I only have one profile, but cannot restore bookmarks following instructions given. What can I do?

Windows Vista. Have just installed Firefox 4.0
Have followed instructions on Restoring bookmark backups
No result (I think) - because show all bookmarks comes up empty (except for what I suppose are defaults)

Which files (settings) do you want to restore?
Did you find the Firefox Profile Folder in the Time Machine?
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder and see the currently used location:

I currently have a mini ipod but hubby is buying me a ipod touch for my birthday soon. Will I be able to use my current itunes library and transfer all my songs to the ipod touch? Or can I only have one ipod attached to the library?

IPod sync problem - wrong library but I only have one

trying to sync with either iPod touch or iPod classic. I'm told that both are synced with a "different" library and program wants to delete everything on iPod and replace with this library. but I have done a search and I only have one library on my computer. the library seems to be complete and up to date. Should I go ahead let it delete and replace? Sounds dangerous and drastic.

But my concern is that my ENTIRE library will then be placed on my Touch, where I now only have two playlists plus apps and contacts
So your ENTIRE library conatins more than what is in these two playlists?
If you want to sync only these two playlists...
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click the Music tab.
Select *Sync music* and *Selected playlists* then tick only the playlists you want to sync.
Add or remove songs from these playlists to change what is on the iPod.
The terminology used by iTunes is very unclear to me.
Okay.
It seems very clear to me.
It tells you it will erase your iPod and add what is in iTunes.
If everything will not fit, it will tell you.

When I connect my ipod to my computer, Itunes tells me the ipod is synced to another account. I only have one account. My only account is blank now. I'm not sure what is going on but I don't want to plug in my iphone or ipad now.

I need help to sync my ipod. When connected to my computer, itunes tells me it is synced to another account. I only have one account. I had tons of stuff stored on itunes, now my itunes account is blank. I fear connecting my iphone or ipad now. I would like to use my itunes to download movies and shows to my ipad2' but I'm not sure I want to risk it. I have signed onto my husband's computer and tried to assess my itunes account but get the same result! Help!

" I had tons of stuff stored on itunes, now my itunes account is blank."
How did this happen?
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
You can sync iphone/ipad to one and only one itunes library at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the iphone.

Some of my songs in iTunes show up but they won't play. I get the message that my computer isn't authorized to play them when I only have one computer.

I recently did the update for iTunes and after I did that I got the error message: MSVCR80.dll file not found. I followed the suggestions from someone in this community to fix it and now some of my songs aren't playing. And they are the ones that I purchased from iTunes not CDs that I have and ripped to my iTunes library. I can see the songs listed in my iTunes library as well as on my iPod but yet they won't play. On my computer I get the message that this computer is unauthorized to play them and to authorize it. I only have one computer, so I have no idea why I'm getting this message. And does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get all of the iTunes songs to play again?

Hello Angel82co,
It sounds like you have some songs in your library that are not playing, and when you try to play them you are being told the computer is not authorized to play them. I would start by verifying that your computer is still authorized, and take note of the Apple ID that you sign in with:
To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
From: iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
If the issue persists, next I would use the following article to double check that these songs were purchased under the same Apple ID you used to authorize the computer:
Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
Open iTunes
Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
Choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab.
The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
If it is the same Apple ID then I would next delete the song, and re download it from your purchased history, with this article named:

I recently got a iphone and i gave my daughter my ipod and we only have one apple id, is there a way to manage this so I don't see all my daughters imessages?

I recntly got a iphone and i gave my daughter my ipod and we only have one apple id, is there a way to seperate the two so I don't see her instant messages? or do we have to have seperate apple IDs?

Create a second Apple ID for a separate iCloud account. You can still share the Apple ID for iTunes purchases, but separate for the cloud.

HT1351 Itunes says that 96 of my songs cannot be synced on my ipod since this computer is not authorized. When I authorize it I am told that I have 5 computers. I only have one. please help

When I sync my ipod with itunes i am told that 96 of my songs are not authorized on this computer. I follow the directions to authorize and the message answers that I have 5 computers and this is the only one authorized. I only have one computer. How do I get itunes to sync those 96 songs???

Hi eversonjm,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea. See this article for instructions:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
If after deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer, you are still not authorized for the 96 songs, this article has some steps for seeing the account name that was used to purchase a song, in the event that a different account may have been used:

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are attempting to update some applications on your iPhone but the payment method was declined. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the information in the attached article to help resolve the situation.

I have one of the original iPods. I try syncing it to my new computer, but the adapter is old and doesn't fit into my new computer. Is there an attachment I can buy, so I can keep my old music?

I have one of the original iPods. I also had an old aluminum Mac. I had a lot of music stored on both. My Mac no longer works because the software doesn't update. But my iPod still works and has all of my old music stored. I'd like to sync it to my current PC, but the adapter is so old that it doens't work with new laptops. Is there something I can purchase, so I can have my old music moved to my newer iPod thru a PC?

On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you.

When my hard drive died I lost my itunes library and now I'm being told that I can't synch my ipod with new songs unless I delete all existing because I can only have one library at a time

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How do I rename one wrongly identified photo in Faces? I seem to only be able to merge two stacks of photos to the correct name, but that is not accurate. I only have one photo in a batch under a certain name, that is wrongly identified.

In iPhoto '11: Select the photo in the "Faces" stack, open the "Info" panel, click on the face name in the "faces" brick and then on the name below the face to edit the name.
