Itunes is syncing to wrong Apple ID

I accidently synced my new iphone on my daughters account and login. Now I can;t seem to set up my own account, it keeps asking for her login. Now I am stuck with all her apps and info. Has anyone else had this issue and know how to correct it? Thanks

Go on the the app store. On the featured app list, scroll to the bottom and tap on the apple id. Then tap sign out. Tap on it again and log back into your apple id (this an also be done from the itunes store app, or under store in settings).

Itunes not syncing with iphone & apple tv not seeing itunes

Recently installed itunes 10.4, now itunes wont sync with iphone and apple TV 2 cannot see itunes on a wired network. The error message says Apple Mobile Device has not started - confirmed that apple mobile device did start. With upgraded itunes apple tv cannot see the itunes library on a wired or wireless network.
Reinstalled itunes several times now, and nothing changes. Using pc, windows vista, outlook 2007.
Any suggestions on how to fix these problems?

Sure it's selcted, it's just not being stored in my iPhone's iTunes library as its stored on my macbook's iTunes library. I've dragged it to where I want it and it still won't store. I havne't needed to connect them with a cable since late last year I think with the new iTunes and updates, and you shouldn't have to. But this is frustrating, I finally found a way to get Tool on iTunes and I can't get it stored on my iPhone.

ICloud syncing to wrong Apple ID

Somehow my husband's Apple ID got on my IPhone. Now everthing syncs to his computer and devices instead of mine. I go into my phone/settings/phone-calendar and his ID is there but there is no way to put my ID in.

You can go into settings>itunes and app stores... click the apple id and sign out... then sign in with your own.
Also... if your phone is signed into his icloud you can go to settings>icloud>delete account. (select keep on my iphone to avoid losing any of your own info)
Then add your own back

IPhone 5s and iTunes match started with wrong apple i

Hello,
Yesterday I started with iTunes match with one of my apple id's (the one I mostly use for shopping)
UnfortunateIy, while reading the instructions I didn't quite understand that it would not be available to my other id (apple id for iCloud)
My macbook, windows pc and ipad are synced with the correct apple id (for iCloud)
Now my iphone is not synced because I started iTunes match with another apple id of mine....!
As I realise what happened I think that a 90 day period is absurd!!! in order to get my device free to sync with my choice apple id
Because of this situation I have bought de iTunes match twice.
Can you help me with the two following?
1. Is it possible to cancel de purchase for apple id: please?
2. And to have my iPhone 5s available for de iTunes match
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Mari Barneveld

Hello mary.bee
To resolve the issue, you will need to report the issue to the iTunes Store. As for the 90 days the article below will have some information about associating your Apple ID with other devices.

Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

ITunes won't sync to iPhone 3GS, iTunes appears to be wrong version?

OK this is really weird, my dad updated to iTunes 9.0.3 last night and his iPhone to OS 3.1.3, I confirmed this by checking Installed Updates under Software Updates in System Preferences. Software Update also says that the system is up to date.
If I go to iTunes > About, the version shows 9.0.1, even after I have re-downloaded iTunes 9.0.3 from Apple.com and installed it successfully, it still shows 9.0.1!
It was working fine for him before the update, now it won't let him sync anything to his iPhone (except e-mail, contacts etc...). With apps it says they are not authorised and it removes the icon from the iPhone page (the virtual one in iTunes that let's you position your apps where you want them), with his songs/podcasts they get sync'd, it shows up as 76MB music in iTunes that's been sync'd to it. But I went to the iPod app and it says there is no content there.
I just deleted something called the "SC" folder, and it when I went to Store > Authorise computer, it says "You already have two computers authorised including this one". So just now I tried to sync an app on the freshly restored iPhone, and it says "iTunes can't sync these apps to your iPhone because your computer is not authorised".
Soo, does anyone have any suggestions?
EDIT 1: I updated my iTunes and iPhone OS 3.1.3 before he did and mine is working fine.
EDIT 2: It seems I can sync Photos just fine, I've tried one podcast, and a normal playlist (not a smart playlist) without success, it shows on the capacity bar that I have 1.19GB audio (in blue), ~180MB photos (in yellow) and ~196MB of other (in orange) and FREE is at 27.78GB.
EDIT 3: In the iPhone under Settings > General > About, it shows 0 songs sync'd which is wrong, but shows the correct amount of photos (280).

It appears to be fixed, he had multiple versions of iTunes installed (since he put his iTunes in a different folder) the iTunes icon launched the old iTunes, even though the new was installed. it's working now.

My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem. I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad. I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync. I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library. How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?

Go back to her login. Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers! Then, you need to set up each iPad separately. You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except... Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them. If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs. Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in. The device handles that. All you need is the correct password. In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier.

ITunes looses photo sync settings for Apple TV (1st gen.)

Since the update to the new Photo app on my Mac, iTunes forgets the photo sync settings for my Apple TV (1st. generation, 160 GB HDD).
Every time I open the photo section of the Apple TV sync settings, all the options are turned off. Then I mark a couple of albums and sync the Apple TV >> all album appear on the Apple TV.
But after closing and re-opening iTunes in the photo settings everything is unmarked again. So on every following sync the photos on the Apple TV are easily erased :-( Resync them to the Apple TV takes hours (>30'000 photos!).
All the other sync settings in iTunes remain intact.
Environment:
- MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the latest SW (Mac OS, iTunes, Photo App, etc.)
- Apple TV 1st gen 160 GB HDD

Restarting iTunes resolves the issue in the majority of cases, if it doesn't my second guess would be your security software.
What really seems strange here is that there have been no updates since well before Xmas, so after initially setting it up, the first update would have brought you right up to the most recent (and indeed the very last) .
Agh, how silly of me, I see it's iTunes you have updated.
If that's about all you've changed, you might want to try reinstalling iTunes and bonjour.

I dont see apple tv in my itunes, how can I find it so that i sync it with apple tv

I can not type in my itunes the code indicated by apple tv on tv screen in order to sync both

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

I just subscribed to iTunes Match but I find my iPhone 4s is matched to the wrong Apple ID. iCloud is properly linked to the same Apple ID I registered for iTunes Match but I can't seem to get my iPhone to link Match to that ID.

How can I link iTunes Match to my proper Apple ID? I have two ID's and my phone accesses iCloud with the proper ID but it insists on trying to access iTunes Match using the wrong ID so I get the message that I'm not registered for iTunes Match.

The iCloud and iTunes Store account ID are not the same thing. They can be different although some folks, like myself, do have the same Apple ID for all the Apple services. Go to Settings > Store and enter the exact same iTunes Store account ID you used to purchase iTunes Match. Be aware you can only switch Apple IDs on an iOS device every 90 days.

How to keep synced library on Apple TV but delete synced items from iTunes

I use a Macbook Pro and space is limited, so does anyone know of a clean way to break the sync connection without deleting the existing synced content on Apple TV? I'd like to move items over, and then delete from my iTunes library to save space. I will also later want to add new items to be streamed, but without causing any past synching to be lost.
Can this be done by simply unchecking the "look for Apple TV" box in iTunes? If so, how can I then stream new content from the same Macbook Pro without causing past synced content to be lost? Since the syncing is quite slow over wireless network, I want to maintain commonly watched items on the apple TV but still ave the ability to stream a new item, from the same macbook pro if possible.

Thanks for the information. Just to be sure I'm clear: after I synch the one library (which I'll keep on an external hard drive where I have more space), is it OK to keep it around and make future changes that I want synced (and then just connect that library for synching whenever I want to change what is synched)? When I change back to my on-board library (on the Macbook pro), will that library not be synched automatically? Must I do anything on the Apple TV or in iTunes, other than start up with the different library, to ensure that my previously synched changes are not superceded?
Are you effectively saying that the synching of Apple TV is specific to a single iTunes library, even if different libraries are successively used in iTunes on the same machine? The manual has basically no information on how to preserve things synced, once synced, unless you're using the simplest model of wanting your iTunes library to be actively mirrored on the Apple TV. It is very painful to see things inadvertently deleted from Apple TV, given ow slowly things move over wireless g networks...

I changed the name of my apple id and now I can't use the app store on my phone correctly because it's using my apple id's old name. I signed out and in on itunes and synced my iphone. Still doesn't work. Help please?

I changed the name of my apple id and now I can't use the app store on my phone correctly because it's using my apple id's old name. I signed out and in on itunes and synced my iphone. Still doesn't work. Help please?

Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with.

10.6.6 update and syncing issues in iTunes with iPhone 4 and Apple TV

After installing the recent OSX 10.6.6 update, I am receiving the following error messages in iTunes 10.1.1 when trying to sync both my iPhone 4 (iOS v4.2.1) and my 1st generation Apple TV (OS v3.0.2):
iPhone error message:
"The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Apple TV error message:
"iTunes cannot sync photos to the Apple TV because of a problem on your computer. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I'm not sure if this matters - but in the iPhone error message - it does not state if the "disk" is the iPhone or the computer - but in the Apple TV error message it does make this distinction, saying that the problem is on my computer and specifically mentions photos.
Now, once I dismiss either of the error messages, the sync progresses normally and completes successfully. Also, I have checked my computer (MacPro) and all diagnostics (including the internal hard drives) pass with flying colors. And the computer is working fine otherwise - so I have no reason to believe that there is a hardware problem with the computer. And I would find it very strange that I would have a hardware problem with both my iPhone and Apple TV appearing at the exact same time. And finally, both the iPhone and Apple TV are performing normally when in use.
Since this problem did not start until after running the 10.6.6 update - logic tells me that is where the problem probably lies.... the question is how to resolve it - anyone have any ideas?

FYI: I received the following answer to this same question which I had posted in a different area of the forum and it solved my problem:
+Both those symptoms are consistent with a damaged photo cache. If you remove your existing photo cache as per the instructions in the following document, does that get you past the error?+
