IPOD/IPHONE Conflict
I have had an ipod touch for about 2 years. It was installed on my PC with a HD that was running Windows XP, worked great. The drive got infected and I replaced it with a new hard drive running Vista. At the same time I got an iphone, I love it. But when I try to synch my ipod touch it won't let me move my old library form the touch to the PC. Had a good playlists on the touch I want to include in my iphone itunes library. Any suggestions?
On the iPod go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and Settings>FaceTime You can be reached at and add a unique email address and delete the one for the Apple ID and the phone's phone number.

I own an iPod, iPhone 4 and iPhone4s. My iTunes account with my music library (copied from CD's) is stored on my Windows desktop computer. Recently, I used my Windows laptop computer to access my iTunes account and purchase some music which was downloaded to the laptop computer. I then synced the iPod and the iPhone 4 to the laptop and was able to add the purchased music to these two devices.
Yesterday I bought the iPhone 4s. I want to copy all the music library found in my iTunes account stored on the desktop computer to the new iPhone 4s. When I tried to sync the iPhone 4s to my desktop iTunes account the device "times out". How do I get my music library that is on the desktop copied to the new iPhone 4s?
Any advice would be appreciated.What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? -
How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
A couple of other items:
1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. AngieThe iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device. Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click File>Transfer Purchases -
Home sharing with two Macbooks and two Ipod/Iphones
Ive read the tutorials on Home Sharing and am still unclear as to how to move content between two spousal computers, each authorised on separate Ipods/Iphones
We can see each others' Itunes accounts on our network and play content accordingly. 90% of our content is the same (why we are happily married for 25 years) but the 10% that is different is the issue. We cant drag and drop music from one to the other currently.
The tutorial says we have to login to the same Itunes account to move content, but when we do this, it warns us that this will deactivate the Ipod on the other machine - which we dont want of course. We want to move the few songs from one Itunes account to the other while keeping our Ipods/Iphones authorised on our separate machines.
Am i misunderstanding the Home Sharing functionality or is it designed only for a 'shared Itunes account' essentially? That wouldnt work for us.Ipod/iphones have nothing to do with Home Sharing.
Your ipods/iphones should not even be connected to the computer when you are using home sharing.
Move the music, then sign into your regular account, then sync. -

Hi there, I pay for extra iCloud space online. However I cannot seem to find any of my photos or account? As my iPod/iPhone only hold 1000 pictures, where are the previous pictures? And how can I access them?
You cannot use iCloud Storage to suppliment your iPad. They are mainly used to backup iPad.

I have a 120gb Classic that has been working, connecting and syncing flawlessly for years. Now it appears that (maybe since an itunes update) my same Windows 7 x64 computer that has not changed other than the occasional iTunes update will not detect my iPod, and therefore will not sync any more.
The odd thing is that iTunes will sometimes see the iPod (not always), and Windows will also sometime see the iPod. Even when it does, and I click to sync a podcast (or anything else) it appears to go through the #1 and #2 steps and says it is syncing - Do not unplug, then appears to finish, but when you check the ipod after ejecting, nothing has changed. It looks like this has been happening for about a week, but my wife must not have realized that songs and other items were not actually syncing.
I have tried uninstalling iTunes, downloading the 11.2... version available online now, no help. I have tried resetting the ipod, no help. I have tried changing cables, no help. every time I go through the diagnostics in iTunes, it fails the connectivity test and says "No iPod, IPhone, or iPad found.
I am so frustrated. I have tried everything I can think of but even though iTunes shows the iPod, it wont sync....This issue has been resolved - my Support Advisor, Edgar, was able to discern what was causing the problem.
It appears that, despite years of never experiencing this, one of the latest ipod updates actually altered my device's personal settings and changed it to "Manual" for all synchronizing; even performcing Factory Restores did not change it back to being automatic.
My ipod is working as good as ever now thanks to Edgar. If anyone else is having this problem, please make sure you check your device's settings in iTunes and see if "Manual" is checked - even if you never changed the settings yourself and have no reason to suspect that to be the problem, as was the case here. If it is checked - uncheck it to enable automatic syncing.
So relieved this was not a much more serious problem. I've missed having my music on the go. Thanks, Edgar! -
Update 10.2.2 older ipod/iphone sync cables no longer work.
Update 10.2.2. I updated to 10.2.2 and my older ipod/iphone sync cables no longer work. Im talking about the cables with the longer connector and the connector locks not the new style that is a short plug with no lock. Anyone else having this issue?
Tried normal steps, reinstall restart etc. No change. I'm at work and the cable works fine on 10.2.1.1 something in the update must have changed.On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it. -
Windows 7 and the mic on the apple iPod/iPhone headphones
In summary, I do a lot of gaming with various online friends, and I tend to record the games a lot of the time too.
Now the issue is that the best recording software I have for the games is DXTory, which is windows based. I'm fine with that in that sense.
However windows 7 refuses to recognise the built in mic on the iPod/iPhone headphones that I bought about a month back (Before I was using the built in mic of my macbook pro and some now-broken sony headphones)
Whilst the built-in mic does record audio incredibly well, it also picks up my macbook pro's fan noises, resulting in an annoying background humming for a video, and for others through skype etc.
For the record, I'm using a Macbook Pro 15" (It uses an intel core2duo @ 2.66ghz and a Nvidia Geforce 9600m GT. Can't remember the year, but that should provide enough info), OSX 10.6.8 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.I'm going to bump this because it's kinda urgent that I find out if I can or can't use my iPod/iPhone headphone's mic.

Syncing ipod/iphone to a new computer
I recently purchased a new Macbook pro and came here to find out how to sync my iPod touch to it without losing everything and really didn't find much. I managed to do it correctly and thought it might help others if I posted a how to.
1. Start iTunes on your new computer and log in, be sure to 'authorize' it when prompted.
2. Attach ipod/iphone via USB cable and transfer all Purchased content to the new computer from the ipod/iphone. (in the 'File' menu on the bar at top of screen). This transfers all music, Apps, iBooks, games, etc that you have downloaded through iTunes.
3. Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes for both computers (you need to have WiFi or manually connect them). When your 'old' library shows up on your new computer click on it, then change the option in the bottom left corner to 'show only content I don't have' (or something close to that). Choose 'select all' from the 'Edit' menu or manually select, and drag the content to the 'Music' section in the iTunes menu to the left (you only have to get the box around that area to turn blue, it will begin to transfer automatically.
4. Check to make sure everything you want/had is now on your new computer. Turn 'on' syncing for each section (Music, Apps, etc) and adjust the settings as necessary, then sync to your new computer. Yes, this will wipe your ipod/iphone, return it to it's 'basic' program and then reload everything. BUT:
The only things that didn't transfer when I did this were old Apps that I had 'unchecked' so they weren't on my iPod anyway, if you want them all make sure they're all 'checked'. All my notes in three different note apps were transferred, the progress of all my games transferred, the bookmarks, etc in all my books transferred, my Kindle and B&N eReader books transferred. Even the photos I had on my ipod remained, although you will have to transfer them to your new computer (from the old one) if you want to keep them and be able to add new ones.
The only thing that was 'lost' was the arrangement of my apps and the folders I had created with purchased apps (because they were all erased and then reloaded).
I hope this helps, and lessens the scariness of that warning you get when first syncing to a new computer.this helped soo much thank you!

Hello everyone. As a new Mac user, I would really like to know the easiest way to move my music files from my old PC to my MacBook? Do I move only the files, the entire iTunes and how? I have a lot of music so it is not a solution with iPod/iPhone.
Your best option is to post this in the iTunes forum.
Ciao. -
How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?
Even when I try to change the featured artist in my I tunes, it won't stay with my other songs, and I want to be able to listen to my album in the order of the songs that the album has it.The iTunes/iPod software isn't set up to let you sync songs from more than one libray, but if you manually manage the iPod you can add tracks from multiple computers without removing the existing content. Personnaly I think syncing with a library is a much better way to manage your iPod, so I'd suggest you just copy the stuff you bought at work onto a memory stick, then take it home and import it into your iTunes library there.

Error -50 when trying to sync using new 128 kBit setting for iPod/iPhone
Starting with iTunes 9.1 there’s a new option to convert songs with higher bitrates to 128 kBit/s AACs when syncing to an iPod/iPhone. I wanted to use that in order to save space on my iPhone since most of my songs are either 192+ AACs or 256+ MP3s. The problem is, that it will stop syncing with an error. It’s always the same song and the whole album containing it does not get synced to the iPhone. The dialogue box says:
iTunes could not copy <songname> to the iPhone, because of an unknown error (-50).
Of course I could try to re-encode this 320 kBit/s MP3 file before syncing, but I wondered if there’s a way without doing so. Has anyone had this type of error yet?
Thanks
BjörnDoes anyone have a better solution? I am having this same error, and I really don't want to re-encode anything on my originals. I've done that in the past and I was unhappy with the resulting media in an ABX test. Why does iTunes have to be so picky. One of the songs is in my top 10 favorite that I listen to all the time, and as such I KNOW the song displays no obvious corruptions. AAC is the devil.
