Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

Ipad needs resetting but because it's second hand the password from the previous owner is still on it and I do not know it, is there anyway around this so I can take all the data off? It's urgent because it is being used as a gift next week!
The previous owner should have reset it back to factory defaults before selling it. What iOS version is the iPad on (Settings > General > About > Version), and has the previous owner left him/herself logged in in Settings > iCloud with Find My iPad enabled on that screen ? If it's on iOS 7 and Find My iPad is enabled then you should contact the previous owner and ask them to remove the iPad from their account, otherwise you or the recipient of the gift will have problems with activation lock : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
To reset the iPad back to factory defaults (if it's not linked to Find My iPad) you can use recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 -
I run my business with Apple Computers and own more than 20. I personally use more than 5 devices both at home and at the office but can't "authorize" more than 5. Is there anyway around this problem? Thanks
Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article, or if it isn't an option, the 'contact iTunes Store support' link at the bottom of it.

I want to give a song as a gift but since I purchased it a year ago it is tagged as purchased and will not let me purchase it again?!? It is greyed out and will not allow me to click on the arrow to choose purchase or gift the song. Is there a way around this?
ThanksIf iCloud is available for your country, you should. Here is the article that has the steps on how you can do this:

i had to have my computer fixed and had to reinstall my iturnes and now it won't let me burn or put any of my music that i had imported. the only thing i have found is to delete them and reimport does anyone have any ideas how to fix this without delete my whole library i have over 10000 songs and this will take me days.
thanks
sammijaneWhy will it not let you add them? What specifically are you trying to do, please provide steps.
Frankly, the only thing that should need to be done it restore the iTunes folder from the backup onto the computer. There is no reason to add or import anything. -
I recently had to have my computer hard drive wiped. I backed up all my I-Tunes music but now I can't find the DVD or CD. Is there any other way to get my music back? Thank you for your help.
Unfortunally not.
Although, if you bought them on iTunes you can redownload them. -
So my phone is messed up and you can't do anything with the screen...in order for me to sink it to back up i have to enter the passcode because it had a lock on it...and i can't due to it being messed up...is there any way around this...

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.columbus new boy wrote:
How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer. -
I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?
The best solution:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
An alternative which is really not what you should have to do, or the way it is intended to be done, if you properly manage your computer and backups:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned above). For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod.

Do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. -
I have 5 computers authorized on my account and I would like to deauthorize all of them. When I try it tells me I cannot do so until January 2016. Is there a way around this? I no longer have access to the computers that are authorized.
Did you recently deauthorize a bunch of computers? You can only deauthorize all once year.

I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?

I have a lot of music on my ipod from CD's I own. I want this music on my new iphone 4s. Because music was not purchased via itunes, it will not allow me to transfer the music. Is there a way around this?
You can transfer music imported from cd's to your iphone. This has never been a restriction.
You are having a problem in your individual case.
Have you tried basics fro the manual? restart, reset, restore. -
When I try to buy ibooks from my ipad, the virtual keyboard is not the same as my computer keyboard, and since my password consists of letters, numbers and symbols, the ipad keeps displaying "incorrect password". Is there any way around this please anybody?

Are you using the virtual keyboard to input your password and you cannot see/find the characters you need on that keyboard?
Or are you trying to use a bluetooth keyboard and pressing the printed key does not produce the right character? -

Is there a way to delete everything on the cloud all at once and start over?
We tried to store a lot of photos to the cloud in one copy. The files have been syncing for over 24 hours. We tried to stop the sync and just throw everything away, and they still show up in the archive. Is there a way to delete everything on the cloud all at once and start over?
