  • I bought a MAC for the first time and plugged my Itouch into it to download my music on it, but is says The iPod "Rick's IPOD" is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. What should I do?

    Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one.  Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

  • My friend gave me his old touch, however it won't sync with my new mac but it charges the itouch so i was wondering how i could sync it to my iTunes.

    Does the iPod show up in iTunes on the Mac? If not try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    also
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Otherwise what happens when you try to sync? Note that you can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. If that is the problem you should go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase and content and setting and set up the iPod on you computer/iTunes library. One content on the iPod does not belong to you.

    Any help in this regards please.

    Hello douraid,
    Start with the article below to get your iPhone to take a charge. Once you get it powered back on, you will want to sync again to make sure nothing was lost during the attempted sync.

  • WVC80N NTP Sync - Time Wrong After Power Failure

    I use the WVC80N to monitor a vacation home.  When there is a power failure, the WVC80N boots faster than the Satelite modem.  The result is that the NTP server sync fails, and the time is wrong until the next sync (power failed momemtarily yesterday, and the time is still wrong).   How can I get the WVC80N to not lose it's time setting, or to re-try more frequently when the NTP sync fails ?  It is not possible to leave it connected to a computer all the time.

    Again, there is no computer and this is a camera in use at a remote vacation home.  No one is there to fiddle with things when the power burps.
    The right thing would be for the firmware to have a routine that would sync with NTP more frequently (perhaps every hour?) if the date-year is set to the the default year 2005.   Linksys, can you please provide an improvement in your firmware ?

  • ITunes update interrupted by power failure - now can't install

    Gateway computer running Windows 7.  I've run iTunes without issue for years.  I had the bad luck of having an iTunes update interrupted by a power failure.  I got error 193 when trying to run it afterwards.  During subsequent attempts to reinstall, I also get error 7 (Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start).
    Here's what I've tried so far:
    - uninstalled iTunes in the proper order according to Apple help docs, rebooted, attempted to reinstall.  Received error 7 twice during install, clicked to ignore both times.  Received error 193.
    - uninstalled again, searched for leftover files in various folders as spelled out by Apple doc.  Reboot/install.  Same problem.
    - uninstalled again. Searched for and found stray registry key related to iTunes.  Deleted it and attempted install.  Same problerm.
    - uninstalled again, and attempted to install as administrator (the login I'd been using the whole time was an admin login, but I was grasping at straws).  Reboot/install.  SAME PROBLEM.
    I am beyond frustrated.  Why won't this install work?  What is the problem with the Apple Mobile Device Service?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
    If you still have issues with AMDS try the steps in Install missing components and/or review HT203188: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows.

  • HT2729 itouch 5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes that are in my itunes library.

    My new itouch5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes thatsare saved in my itunes library.

    Mike, Hi
    Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
    The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.

  • Computer Power Failure

    During the last month or so my computer would unexpectedly lose power. The computer would just shut off as if unplugged. I checked all power cords for loose connections, these were fine. The latest software update done on my computer was the iTunes 7.5/QT Player 7.3 update - this was causing my computer to crash when syncing my iPod, so I wonder if this software update was part of the power failure problems. A few days ago, the power failure became unbearable - power would drop repeatedly, many times immediately following startup. After backing up my hard drive, I updating my OS to the 10.4.11 update - manually downloaded from the Apple website, not through Software Update.
    Since the 10.4.11 update three days ago I have had no problems with power failure. This morning my computer has last power twice now. What could be potential sources of this problem? Is there a way to fix this?

  • Power Failure: cpu=1; code=00000008 (unaligned stack)

    I have a Quicksilver 2002 DP 1.0GHz.
    System Profiler reads it as a DP 733GHz about 50% of the time and a DP 1.0GHz the other 50%.
    It always has a screen freeze about 4-5 min after startup.
    I reset the processors; nothing changed.
    But now I'm getting some system failures at bootup:
    Power Failure: cpu=1; code=00000008 (unaligned stack)
    and something about waiting for the debugger.
    Anyone have an idea where the is?
    Thanks,

    Yesterday my computer blacked out, like the circuit had blown but no. I put my hard drive into another G4, Dual 1.25 Mirror. It's a 120 G drive, running 10.4, current Safari. I ran Tech Tools and Disk Warrior and everything seems fine with it. But as I tried to lauch iTunes, it acts as though I’m loading a new version, asking me to accept the terms of the software. I canceled. Wierd. I purchased and downloaded an audio book from Audible yesterday and synced my ipod which received it. In iTunes info it gives that time as when iTunes was changed. It's wierd enough to wonder about a bug. Otherwise this hard drive acts fine.
    Any ideas? Much appreciated. The original computer that I'd like to fix is still blacked-out although as long as I hold the button, it lights. I zapped the PRam but have no other ideas. Thanks for any ideas.

  • I did not sync my device to itunes before it got ruined.  How do I retrieve unsynced songs I purchased to add to my new iPhone4

    I had over 80 songs I purchased through iTunes using my iTouch.  My iTouch got ruined and now I have an iPhone4.  I did not sync 50 of those songs to my iTouch.  When I visit iTunes, only 32 songs are showing up.  When I try to repurchase the lost songs, they say I have already purchased the songs.  How can I get iTunes to retrieve these songs for me so I can redownload them again.  And can I do this without purchasing the songs over again?
    HELP!!!
    Danita Hamel

    Thank you for your advice.  I did contact Apple and they referred me to this website only.   I'm so mad at myself.  And totally discouraged.  Yes, I will be syncing regularly from now on.

  • ITouch not recognized by Windows, iTunes

    My iTouch is functioning fine, but I can't connect it to iTunes.
    I have gone through the FAQ:
    http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=774
    but still am having no luck. I have had this iTouch syncing with previous versions of iTunes (currently I have the latest itunes - 9.??).
    I uninstalled all the possible apple software components (iTunes, Quicktime, Apple mobile device, etc.) that I could. With all the software removed, I got my computer to recognize my iTouch (as an apple camera funny enough; can't do much with it though).
    After I install the latest iTunes, my computer cannot recognize the iTouch. I tried all the steps in the FAQ: reinstalling the USB driver, verify apple mobile device installed as service, etc. Everything looks good. However, when I connect the iTouch to the computer, iTunes starts, but then hangs (probably b/c it XP can't recognize the device). When I unplug the iTouch, iTunes get un-hung and runs fine.
    Very frustrating. Anyone had this problem? Thanks in advance for any help.

  • ITouch does not appear in iTunes - file processes missing

    I recently updated to 9.2 about three weeks ago. When I plug in my iTouch, it is recognized by Windows and charges; however, it never appears in iTunes. I have a classic iPod. iTunes will recognize it and sync it. When I looked into the file processes running and what should run according to apple, two files are missing: AppleMobileSync.exe. and SyncServer.exe. Would this be the reason the iTouch will not sync?
    I have tried to restart the apple server as posted on the troubleshooting pages. I have done everything but restore my iTouch.
    I really want to be able to move new music to my touch. I have upgraded to iTunes 9.2.1 hoping that was a fix. Any ideas?

    You may need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service that is installed with iTunes.
