ITunes copied and sync'd with a NAS?
Hi - just converted to Sonos and wanted to copy my iTunes library to a NAS (as a music source for the Sonos) and ensure that it keeps in sync.
Can anyone provide an idiot's guide how to do this?
Thanks
ive got a friend on the inside ^^ unfortunately, she didnt quite have a complete answer (shes a mac). basically, it has to do with the fact that the iphone can only be managed by 1 computer. i have tried to trick it by importing my old library to my new comp, with limited success. i can now access all of my apps on the new comp, but still cannot manage files on my iphone. basically i would have to re-sync the phone and i REALLY dont want to do that.
i imported the old library by simply copying the old library to an external hard drive, unplug external from old and plug to new, and then (on the new computer) going to 'File' then 'Add folder to library' and selecting the copied old library on the external hard drive. this copied all of my info over to the new comp. as i said, i still cannot manage files.
frustration building....

I need to know if i just downloaded itunes to my new computer and synced it with my ipod touch if all me songs would transfer over?
No, they won't transfer over, however, there are third party PC/Mac programs which will transfer the content of your iPod to your computer. Just do a Google search on this topic and you will find them (e.g. senuti)

Dear Apple Support,
I would like to ask about can i connect 40 iPads with (USB Hub(Powered) able to support up to 127 Devices) to iTunes(Windows) and Sync all with same Apps?
Regards,
XentrinoOkay... I've just found the solution. It's really simple, just plug the phone to the MacBook, fire up iTunes, check the "Sync Photos from iPhoto" option, make sure all the other options are not checked, and just sync. Voila! my iPhoto library is now in the palm of my hand.

How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?
You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue. -
Lately I've noticed that videos on my iTunes aren't syncing sound with picture - lots of delay and pausing. Any suggestions?

I made a ringtone on an app I got on my iPhone, I put it on iTunes and synced it with my iPhone and I can't find it on my phone, where do I have to look in order to find it?
When you synced in iTunes did you select your phone in devices on t left column and then click on tones int eh window on the right. When you synced did you tick all tones and tick sync and then click sync at the bottom of the window on the right? Was the ton ein the tones folder in the library folder?

I have an iPhone and sync it with iTunes. Just got my wife an iPhone also. Is it possible to have 2 accounts in iTunes 1 for my wife and 1 for myself? I don't want to mess up things like contacts on either phone.
The best is to create another Windows user profile(additional User Account) where each one of you can manage your own account, library, playlist Apps, Contacts etc,
Refer to this article:

Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
It depends on how amicable the split is...

ITunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion
iTunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion. I even tried to use Replace Information On This iPhone and it doesn't work. Any idea guys?
I'm having the same problem. It's as if my iPhone and MacBook Pro now have two separate calendars.
Basically, I have a MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion, 13", late 2011) that I sync via USB with an iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1). Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, all of my iCal events would sync flawlessly. But none of the events I've created in iCal (Calendars) since upgrading have synced to the iPhone. Likewise, no new events that I create on the iPhone Calendar will sync to iCal. Also, changes to an existing event (even one created before upgrading to Mountain Lion) don't get synced either.
Everything else seems to be syncing just fine though (music, apps, contacts, etc). -

When you get a apple receipt for itunes songs and you paid with a itunes gift card do they charge you or give you store credit what's store credit is it good or bad or does it charge you if you have a free account with no credit cards at all is it bad?
iTunes credits are, for example, if you download a song from the store and it's found to be corrupt - if the track can't be fixed then iTunes support will tend to give you a song credit for a free download.
When you purchase music from the store then any credits that you have will be used first, then any balance that you have (e.g. from iTunes gift cards or allowances), and any remaining amount will be taken from your credit card. -
My mom helped me to create my iTunes account and load it with a 50$ gift card and now I wanted to purchase a one month subscription at the AYI dating web service but apple never let them take money from my account and I was declined,don't know why?
You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question is not related to. I suggest you contact the web site from whom you wish to purchase the subscription.
