Is there a way to close itunes on my computer,but still have homesharing working on my ipad?
I just got home sharing working on my ipad and i was about to close itunes from my main conputer, but when i tried to close it, it said that it would cut off the homesharing. Do i have to leave itunes open all the time for this to work?

My Ipod Touch is not recognised in itunes or my computer but still charges, Please help
My Ipod Touch is not recognised in itunes or my computer but still charges when connected via USB Please help
Did plugging it into another USB port do any good? Make sure it is a USB port on the back of your PC and not via a USB hub or one on the front as they sometimes do not output enough power for the iPod to properly communicate with your PC.
Do you have another 30 pin dock connector cable around you use to try and rule out a faulty cable?
Did you try a hard reset of the device with it still connected to your PC? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
With the article above were you able to verify that the Apple Mobile Device Service was installing and running on your system?
Lastly, try plugging it into a different PC to see if it is recognized there. It can help narrow down whether it is an issue with the iPod or with your PC.

I upgraded my ipad to ios 7 and now it's asking for a passcode. Have no idea what to enter because I never needed a passcode. Connected it to iTunes on my mac but still doesn't work
Hi Lmprettyman,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This article has more information on passcode lock and how to return your iPod to working order:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
All the best,

Can I remove Itunes from my computer totallty abnd reinstall it without losing my media?
Do a backup of your iTunes library files first to a external hardisk. (ie all your music files)
Go to this Apple download for iTunes 9.2.1,
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
You just need to download and re-install.
If your iTunes is earlier than 9 series, the library folder location need to be changed.
or let me know your iTunes version and I sent you the website
I wouldn't recommend the Latest iTunes 10.5.2, if you are not using iPod Classic 160GB late 2009 version. -
My Android phone has Firefox installed, and is connected to Sync. Somehow, I lost all of my Firefox data (I think I know how this happened, and I'm going to address that problem with my computer next). Is there any way to pull the sync key off of my phone, since in a house-keeping frenzy I apparently deleted the sync key from my computer?
No, there is not.
Sorry. -
Is there a way to move apps to new laptop but still keep them in old one?
I have a MacBook Pro and want to buy a MacBook Air. Is there a way to transfer my Mac store apps to new comp while still having them in my old one. I know about migration assistant but does that remove them from the old computer? If I download them would I need to pay for them again?
You can copy them to another computer, and you can re-download purchased apps at no extra charge. Migration Assistant does not remove files from the computer that is migrated.
To re-download your purchased applications just log into the App Store with the Apple ID used to purchase them. Click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You will find all your purchased applications listed with an Install button to the right. -
I am trying to update my phone and the phone is frozen on a screen that has the itunes symbol and the computer connection showing.
I did not have itunes on my computer.
So I downloaded itunes set up which took an hour or so.
Now what do I do?Please check 2 things in your computer.
1. Right click 'My Computer' => Manage => Services & Applications => Services. Look for Apple Mobile Service at the top. Status must be STARTED. If stop, please start it.
2. Open iTunes in computer. For Windows 7, go to iTunes Store => Authorise this Computer => key-in your Apple ID and password when prompted. For Windows 8, press ALT and S together. A pop-up window would show information of authorising computer. Click Authorise this Computer => key-in your Apple ID and password when prompted.
Good luck -
Ipod is stuck in recovery mode I have restarted my computer and I have updated itunes ...Help
Try:
- iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iphone is disabled.Followed the steps in itunes after connecting to my computer but getting a message saying that i must turn off 'find my iphone'' on my device before i can restore it.Impossible for me to do that because i obviously have no access to my device.Can anyone help me with this problem please?
I think you should call via phone or perhaps take it to a phone store. I suggest taking your id, box packaging and other necessities such as the reciept of the phone being purchased.
Hope this helped -
Is there a way to move iphoto libary to external but still use on orginal hard drive?
Basically what I want to do is move my pictures from my laptop's hard drive to an external because I have so many and then keep using iphoto on my laptop but without all the older photos on it. I don't want to have to plug my external in every time I want to transfer pictures from my camera to my laptop. I wasn't sure what the best way to do this was? Or if this was even possible?
I'm using iPhoto '09 verzion 8.1.2 if that makes any difference?
Thanks! Any help is greatly appreciated.Here's one way to do what you want:
1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them: Hold down the <b>option (or alt)</b> key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
A couple of comments:
a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.
c.
Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager -

APPS ON THE iPAD MINI BRIEFLY APPEAR TO OPEN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CLOSE. already TRIED REBOOT BUT SAME ISSUE.
Have you tried a reset? Hold down Home and On/Off buttons, ignoring slider until you see the Apple logo. Then release the buttons. The device will reset--you will lose no data. Please don't shout--using all caps is not only rude but it is hard to read.
