ITunes and account syncing: Help
I made a new Apple ID because something went wrong with my last one, but anyways when I try and login to my new one in the iTunes store it tells me that this ID has never been used with iTunes before and then sends me to review my information. When I review my information it keeps asking for a credit card in the "Review Payment Information", which I do not have one. I can't continue or so much as use my account without completing this step. Is there any way for me to set up my account without putting in credit card information?

All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.
I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
To make this your syncing computer:

Because I have limited internet package on my att iphone 5, I update apps on my computer thru ITunes and then sync them to my phone. The downloads seems to go thru and then install. But when I turn on my phone, the affected apps continue to say they are updating and it never goes away. I do not have wifi but when I am connected, the apps don't update. Help!!!!
Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck! -
I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit songs without actually downloading the songs that are explicit?
See if there's a non-explicit version and download that? Just download the individual songs you want, and not the others?
Honestly, your phrasing doesn't make sense. You're asking how to download an album without downloading its tracks? -
Problems with itunes and ipad syncing artwork
Hi there,
i am currently running Toshiba Satellite C50D windows 8.1 with itunes 11.3.0.54.
last week i downloaded 6 new songs, edited their file details through itunes and suscessfully synced them to my ipad 3 128gb iOS 7.1.1.
saturday night i downloaded a further 12 songs, added the artist and track name so i could find them quickly, but when i synced these across all of the artwork on my ipad vanished except the 6 song i did earlier in the week. i tried to sync it again the next day and now there is only 1 of the new song and 1 other old song with artwork.
all of the artwork is attached to the files in itunes through the get info section. but it does not pull through to the ipad. i have not changed the way that i sync, download, or save the music files.
i have tried deleting the whole library and adding it back maybe that would fix the issue. but instead of fixing anything it removed over 450 song details. but when you go into get info on the song you still have the lyrics and or artwork. but the info tab has reverted back to the download http link [example - Curtain Call - Eminem - When I'm Gone]. as well as any song that i have changed the start and end date has reverted back to 0:00 and its end.
i am currently going through the library making sure every song has the relevant details in each screen, but this is a VERY time consuming process.
is there an easier way? more to the point if i finish and then sync, and everything transfers properly. what are the chances of this happening again.
i pride myself on having an organised itunes because i can find everything. but this is ridicilous when my process has not changed from the previous day.
please there must be a reason as well as a logical explanation why this happened?...any solutions?

Can 2 iPhones be synched with the same iTunes and Account
My husband and I both have iPhone 3G's. We just upgraded to the iPhone 4's which are set to be delivered today. We both download app's to our phones using my iTunes account. I have mine synched to my PowerBook and back up regularly. He has never synched his computer with anything, back it up or upgraded to the latest software. Can I synch his to my Powerbook to back it up so that I can do the transfer? Or will it erase all of my information?
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks all!It'll blat your information.
The iTunes/iPhone model is single user, so if you have many devices, they all share the one set of info.
There is a way - if you set up a separate user account on the Powerbook for your husband, he can have his own iTunes/iPhone setup, which will take care of his contacts etc. (One important point - when his PB account is set up and *before syncing his iPhone*, create a single contact and a single appointment on eth Mac's Address Book and iCal in his account. That forces iTunes to synhronise, instead of deleting all his phone data, which is sub-optimal)
If you want to share the iTunes media (music etc), you can move the iTunes library to a shared folder (one that both his and your account can see)
As an alternative, you could set up a MobileMe account for him, and sync to the cloud - that would avoid setting him up as an account user on your PB.
He really should back up his stuff. iPhones are great, but they're not indestructible -
I purchased my daughter the new ipod. I downloaded the latest version of itunes. After syncing the ipod, all my songs appear grayed out. They have an exclamation point next to them. Even the ones I purchased from itunes. How do I get my songs back?
Usually, the exclamation mark tells you that the song was not where the program expected to find it. It may also mean that there was an error with the file itself.
If you click on the exclamation mark, it may give you a reason. You can also double click the file to make it play. If the file is not found, it will tell you. Just follow the prompts to look for the song again. It will ask you if you want to look for the other missing songs in the same folder. You can do it, but unfortunately, the last few updates have made the program blind to the songs that are there and you sometimes have to do the same process for each song.
If neither of these help, I would suggest starting from scratch and reinstalling iTunes. I have had to do that before. Do your best to back up the library and such first.
Sometimes a computer will rename a hard disk (Windows) and all the songs on that disk will be gone to iTunes because it will think it's looking in the right place. It can't recognize that the hard disk or partition has been renamed.
I know that this is a podcast, but the principle is the same. A dialogue box should pop up to tell you just what the problem is.
I hope this helps! -
Hello,
I would like to sync my iTunes library to what my iPod has on it. What happen is I never managed my library and only managed my iPod because I would use the manual way of syncing. I noticed when adding artwork, deleting songs, adding songs from other computers, the library on my home computer isn't like my iPod, and I'd like to do what iTunes/iPod does under the automatic way, only have it opposite where my iTunes library automatically to my iPod with the same play count. Is this possible? I am running Windows XP with a 30 GB iPod. Everything is updated.
Thank you very much,
GarrettCould anyone help me with a problem I have with the syncing of my ipod with itunes?
I have a large amount of music on my ipod that is not on my itunes, and I have avoided updating the ipod so I do not erase whats on there. But I am now trying to update my ipod manually, however it is does not work. I have itunes version 1.2.1 and i have selected manually update ipod but it does not select any music to manually update!! Does anyone have any idea how this can be overcome??
Thanks -
Unauthorised payments from itunes and nobody can help me
itunes tried to take £14.98 from my account five times in a row on Saturday morning. What's odd is not only that I didn't make any of the purchases at the time they happened (although that is fundamentally wrong) but that the sum matches the last amount I spent at itunes and it seems to have happened at the same time as I was updating five apps on my itouch. I don't know if these are just huge coincidences or not.
My bank caught the unusual activity and blocked my card after the third payment.
In the meantime I managed to speak to someone in Dublin who can't help me with this as it's too sensitive (it seems her remit is to help reset passwords). In fact there is nobody I can speak to about something as important as having had unauthorised payments taken from my account. My only recourse has been to send Apple two messages through its hugely unhelpful online form. I was told I'd get a reply within 24 hours. As yet, nada.
I'm stuck as to what to do. Nobody I speak to can help me. The person who responds to this online form seems to be away from his desk. I have a blocked card and itunes keeps telling me I owe it money as the payments my bank blocked are waiting for me.
Anybody know of a way I can actually speak to someone at Apple about this?
Is there such a thing as customer service at Apple?! Amusingly, this is something I'm writing about at the moment so I've turned into my own case study.
I'm annoyed that I'm annoyed at Apple. I thought it was better than this.I also have this problem but I have recently had over £250 taken out in 20 different transactions in 2 days!!!!! My bank instantly refunded me and stopped my card but we are still awaiting to hear from Apple. No way of contacting anyone at all just and email service in which no one has replied too! This is appalling considering who they are. I need info on what to do with regards to my account!

ITunes and iPod, serious help needed
First of all I'm running OS X Tiger 10.4
I just got my 5th gen. iPod video today, and I sync'd it and everything, the iPod works just fine.
Although, everytime I plug it in, my iPod will be listed on the source list in the left of iTunes, it will take a few seconds to update, then my iPod icon will disappear from the Finder.
If I then click anywhere besides "My iPod" in the iTunes source bar, like Library > Music or just a simple playlist, iTunes will unexpectedly quit. The Finder though does not give me a message saying that iTunes quit unexpectedly, it just happens. During all of this the iPod does NOT say "do not disconnect" as if it was updating.
Help is greatly appreciated.I am not really sure as I have been playing it safe, sticking with OS 10.3.9 and iTunes version 6. Everything works, so I don't want to break it.

Spinning color wheel when accessing iTunes and iPods Need Help
I hope somebody can offer some help. I have an iMac G5 running Leopard 10.5.6 and the latest version of iTunes and have several iPods ranging from an old iPod photo up to my newest 160 GB classic purchased about a week ago. My iTunes library is stored on a LaCie 1 TB external USB2 drive.
On to my issue. When I access iTunes I often get the spinning wheel but especially often when I try to hook up one of my iPods to sync anything. For instance I will hook up an iPod and then click on the books tab of the iPod in iTunes to select what to sync. I will get the spinning wheel for several minutes before it finally opens the tab. When it finally does, it let's me select what I want but then if I they hit apply button, I get the wheel again for several minutes before it finally syncs. It is driving me nuts. At first I thought it was my new iPod but it does it on my others as well.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!mrtoad wrote:

try if updating to 10.5.8 helps. get the combo updater from here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate. repair permissions before and after running the installer.
when done, check software update from the menu and install any updates offered.

Hi There,
So I have a slight problem and would be grateful if someone would shed some light as to how I can overcome this.
I have an iPhone 5 and iTunes for windows, however, I have not downloaded the current software for the iPhone 5 as I do no have any storage space for it. I have recently tried to update my iPhone's music playlist but the playlist I want to sync is not, however, my old music and playlists keep syncing instead, and it keeps adding albums.In my new playlist I have approx 200ish songs whereas my iTunes is syncing over 700ish (and I've made sure I have not clicked and synced my library- my library has over 1000 so not sure where its syncing 700) I have tried several times to fix this by;
switching off phone
closing iTunes and opening it again
creating a different playlist and re-syncing music
de-selecting albums and artists manually
de-selecting all music then syncing
created a different playlist
and none of the above have worked at all
It would be much appreciated if anyone has any advice or guidance as to how I can fix this, as I have new music I want to listen to, and with this new music I'll have more storage space!
Thanks in advance!Hi R@chel,
It sounds as if you are having difficulty making sure your iPhone only gets the music you want. In order to do this, you need to manually manage the data that gets synced to your iPhone. This article explains how to do so -

Syncing manually
If you prefer not to automatically sync content to your device, you can set up manual syncing:
Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes.
Click the Devices button in the upper-right corner. (If you're viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner. The Devices button will appear.)
In the main iTunes browser window, select the Summary tab.
Select the option to Manually manage music and videos or Manually manage music. This will deselect the automatic sync settings for the Music, Movies, and TV Shows tabs.
Click Apply.
And -
After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
Select your device.
Click On this Device.
Choose Add to in the upper-right corner. If you drag a song, video, TV show, or movie while viewing the media in your iTunes library, a sidebar will show up on the right. You can drag your content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
