I'm having the same problem with my iphone. When I click the "manually manage music, it prompts me that the iphone is synced with another library. Do i want to erase this iphone and sync with this itunes library?
Of course I dont want to do this! My iphone is "synced" with my computer at home, while at work, I'd like to listen to music to my iphone through my work mac (which has no mp3s on it) using itunes. Annoying!
Anyone find a third party solution to this?

My ipod screen is cracked and i can't sync my ipod to itunes because it is locked with a password and i can't enter the password because the heat sensor is messed up on the ipod becasue of the screen and i don't want to restore it and lose everything. What can i do?!
All you can do is to restore and thus erase the iPod unless you can get a data recovery company to preserve the data.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

my iPod touch 5 is disyllable and it wants me to connect to iTunes. i connect to iTunes but it says i have to accept the invitation from my iPod witch is locked so what do i do?
Hello there Patss213,
If your iPod Touch is telling you to connect to iTunes and when you do, you are prompted to Trust the computer but are unable to due to the device being disabled, you will need to put the device into Recovery Mode and restore it with this article:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Keep in mind this will delete all information on the iPod, and you will need to restore it from a backup:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iTunes 11 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Connect the device in to iTunes in recovery mode using the instructions in this Apple support document and restore the device. This will allow you to bypass the passcode.

I'm getting a msg saying the folder "itunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder? What's going on? Won't sync when i plug in ipod shuffle or touch.
Post this in the iTunes forum as it does not pertain to an iPod Shuffle.

When Ipod is plugged into itunes there is a lock icon at the bottom.
When I plug my ipod up to my itunes there is a lock icon on the bottom of itunes next to the amount of music (i.e. 6.5 days). My friends doesn't have that icon when he plugs his up to his itunes. How do I turn it off?
Manually updating is not as easy and takes away from the easy syncing from your computer to iPod.
If you really want to do it...
Manually Updating iPod
Automatically updating is easier and better, in my opinion.
To make that extra drive stay...

my ipod touch is locked i am trying to restore it nut when itunes tells me it does not recognize it , however, there is no place on the itunes screen that lists devices like the procedures tell you

ipod 4 is locked up
Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. 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 turn off.
* If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below,
let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -
I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.
Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes. iPod seems disabled and not responding to anything. Permanently on "do not disconnect". Not sure what to do.
Hello,
My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes or internet
explorer. It used to, but not anymore. It just
dosent show up when I connect it to my computer.
Also, the "do no disconnect" sign does not appear on
my iPod when I connect it. It is still able to
recharge, though.
have u tried a different usb port?
I read that I have to restore it. I have tons of
songs in my iPod that I do NOT want erased! How can
I back these songs up? I have some songs on my iPod
that are from another person's computer, so if they
get erased, the songs are gone forever.

I have downloaded a mix of 2cd's of Pacha Summer Anthems(Mixed by Chuckie & Mischa Daniels).
Both cd's are mixes, when I upload these cd's to iTunes I cannot let iTunes sort them correctly. It doesn't sort by track, so the mix is not played correctly.
When I upload the cd's to my iPod, the sorting is oke.
Anyone a idea how to solve this?Hi
First try and activate the 'album' column with the arrow pointing up:

Or try and activate the track order column:

You can also try and edit the Sorting options in:
select all songs of album > Right-click > Get Info > Sorting

Having troubles running iTunes! I downloaded iTunes just fine, but when I try to open it, it tells me iTunes is in a locked disk or I dont have permissions to write to this folder. Please help! I purchased an iPod for my son and wanted to put music on it.
Hello there KRerssig,
I was looking through our resources and found an article with information regarding that error message. The article is called iTunes for Windows XP: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1866.
Here is the text but the article contains images for a visual reference:
Verify the location of your Windows XP My Music folder. The default location for this folder is
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music
If you do not have this folder at the default location and have not moved it to another location, consider creating one inside your My Documents folder.
Download and install Tweak UI from the Microsoft PowerToys website athttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Note: This utility is for Windows XP only. Please review the system requirements before installing.
Once you have installed Tweak UI, open it from the Start menu.
In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol next to My Computer and select Special Folders.
In the right pane under Special Folders, choose My Music from the Folder pop-up menu.
Click the Change Location button. You may see a warning message appear with precautions for changing this setting; after reviewing the message, click Yes.
In the resulting window, browse for the My Music folder as described in step 1, and click OK.
Reinstall or open iTunes.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, the settings for the current user may be corrupted, which could cause iTunes not to install or open. You may have to install and open iTunes in a different Windows user account.
All the best,
Sterling

Why, when you have auto update on, isn't the same language installed as before, but English instead.
