Is there anyway to get iTunes to use a remote library on my network that requires a login/password?
I'm currently pointing iTunes at a library on my home server running WHS2011 but every time I open iTunes it can't find the library. This is presumably because the server requires you login. I can readd the library each time when I put in the username/password and everything works fine. However this is inefficient and annoying so I'd love to know if there is any way to get iTunes to store the creditials. Will iTunes understand adding the username/password at the end of the library location i.e. \\server\music@username:password
Thanks,

Very hard to do, but not impossible. Depends on what setup you have at home and what data you want
Windows or Mac?
Calendar, Contacts, Music and content only, or data from apps as well

is there anyway to get rid of the old iPhoto Library? It defeats the purpose of having a new software if I have to keep the remnants of the older one.

Where are the masters actually stored upon conversion from Aperture to Photos? Photos?
The master files are stored on your drive, but they are not actually stored "in" any folder. Folders are really just special files that store various bits of information about the files associated with that folder, including links to where they actually are stored. That's why you can "move" a file from one folder to another very quickly: all that you really are doing is moving the link & other info from one folder to the other folder, while the file itself stays where it was.
Because of this, it is possible for more than one folder to link to the same file -- in the Finder it looks just like there are two copies of the file, one in each folder, but there really is just the one copy. From the description in the Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries doc, it looks like that's what happens when you import your iPhoto library into Photos -- both the old iPhoto Library "file" (which actually is a set of folders & subfolders of files) & the Photos Library (also consisting of folders & files) contain links to the master files, but like the Apple doc says, there really is just one set of master files being stored.
This is very similar to the way Time Machine backups look like they have multiple copies of the same unique file, one in each time-stamped backup folder, but there really is only one copy on the Time Machine drive. My guess is Apple is using hard links for this, which means the actual master files will not be deleted from the file system as long as at least one link remains to each of them.
So you should be safe in deleting the old iPhotos Library once you are absolutely sure you don't need it, but to be sure, if it was me I would make a backup just in case, or better yet just leave it alone. -
Another Apple Itunes Update. Dutifully I applied it and found that Itunes afterwards had lost all information related to my Ipod device (it retained the information to my Iphone which uses a different music selection). Now Itunes wants to erase all data on my 2nd device so that I can use Itunes on it. I am getting quite tired of dealing with these Itune update problems, problems which I experience inspite of keeping my device and software backed up on each of my computers.
Is there any way to fix Itunes without wiping all data from my 2nd Itunes device?See this article: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I am a student away from home. Is there any way around going home with the replacement iphone to get my backed-up stuff? Or is all stored on that PC's hard drive? If so, can it be downloaded onto a disc and posted to me do you think? I don't rreally understand how it all works :-/

Any way to use the iPhone on a WiFi network that requires me to..
1. Enter both username and password
2. Download a specific digital certificate before connecting
Can the iPhone do this? All the WiFi networks on colleges and universities here in Norway use the same login and password with a specific digital certificate.OK, so your old iTunes library was on your PC and now the library is on your Mac? Do I have that right? Your iPhone and iPad were auto syncing to the PC and now you connect them to your Mac and it wants to clear out the media?
This is important, do you have in your iTunes library on your new Mac, the media you want now? Or are you trying to move your media by copying what is on the iPhone/iPad to your iTunes? -
i had my phone reset and without paying for my music i have already got is there anyway of getting all my songs back?
Depending upon what country that you are in (and if you haven't changed countries since buying it and it's still in your store) then you might be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone.
You should also be regularly connecting your phone to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so as to copy all of your downloads over so that you can take a backup copy of them (and preferably taking a backup of the phone if you have any important documents and/or photos on it) - apps and other downloads could also be potentially be removed from a country's store at any time, so you may not be able to redownload them either. -
I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die. If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud. I have music that was legally purchased and loaded to my iTunes account from cd's that I no longer own. I need a new laptop and am deciding between the iPad and the Mac book. I use the computer for music, photos, and web - nothing else and nothing fancy. I don't know that there is a way to save my huge music library without saving it to an external hard drive and then loading it to a new one (does the iPad have a port to plug an external hard drive into?)
First, you would need to make a backup of the entire iTunes folder on the PC. You could get music to the iPad if the PC was still functioning, or you would have to move the music to another computer. An iPad is not a laptop, and does not have a port to plug an external drive into. You can sync music to the iPad from the computer, but you are correct, unless you get iTunes Match, you would need a computer to copy the music to and then sync to an iPad.

Is there anyway to get serial number from itunes for my stolen ipod?
Help.. My ipod 5th gen was stolen..is there anyway to get the Serial Number off itunes??
Yes, if you have any backups on file. If you are using windows, go to edit>preferences, if on a mac, go to itunes>preferences.
When you are in the preferences page, choose the device tab.
Look for a backup of the ipod, if there is, you can just hover your mouse over the backup, dont click or anything, but after a moment or two, a little box will pop up with you serial number. -
I am using a very old iPhone and have forgotten my password. Is there anyway to get passed the lockout screen? It says to connect to iTunes but when I do nothing happens. I've read through the user guide and am at a loss.
Bypass & Reset the iPhone Passcode
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, leave the other end connected to your Mac/PC
Launch iTunes
Press and hold the Home and Power button on the top of the iPhone to turn off the device
Press and continue to hold the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to your iPhone, this will cause the iPhone to turn on
Continue to hold the Home button until an alert message in iTunes appears that an iPhone in recovery mode has been detected
Now that the iPhone is in recovery mode, you must restore the device:
From iTunes, look under the “Summary” tab
Click on the “Restore” button within iTunes -

My daughter has spitefully changed my password and has refused to tell me. I have so much medical information that I can not lose. Is there anyway to get around this problem. Please I need Help fast.
Connect the iPod to your syncing computer and restore it via iTunes. However, if iTunes asks for the unknown passcode you need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod from backup. For recovey mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
"If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software."
