    Have you already confirmed that you trust the computer?
    Launch iTunes, then connect your iPhone to the computer.
    When prompted, confirm that you trust the computer.

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

    Hi lindaasw,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed?  I would turn on the sidebar and the menu bar just to make sure you are seeing everything.  If the iPhone is still not recognized in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps:

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • I imported photos but the event does not show

    I imported photos today, it shows up under "Last Import" but the event does not show under "Events", how do I fix this?

    What version of iPhoto are you running? Also is your profile correct?
    In the Events mode set the View ➙ Sort option to By Date ➙ Descending so that the newer events are at the top of the window.

  • I connect my iPad to my PC and open iTunes, but the iPad does not show up in sidebar.  I want to sync. How do I do it?

    I have my PC on, then plug in my iPad (which is on) and open iTunes.  The iPad does not show up in the sidebar.  How do you get it to show up so that I can select the iPad and then configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes....hoping that these actually show up.
    In the manual it says "log in to your computer user account before connecting iPad".  I am the only user of this PC...does this mean some other user account.  I am confused.  I need "baby steps" to tell me how to do all this....very senior and just learning about this wonderful machine. I will very much appreciate your help.

    If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that.  If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it.  If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
    If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

  • HT1296 I want to transmit my whole iTunes library (about 4GB) to my iPod. When I click "sync," the window goes quickly through the steps and quits, but the music does not show up on my iPod. It says "no music." I have followed the instructions, but no res

    I have followed instructions for transferring my iTunes library from my MacBook Pro to my iPod. The summary window shows lots of unused memory and it partly fills when I hit "sync," but then returns to nearly empty and the music does not show up on my iPod--"no music." Any suggestions would be appreciated. l've read all the instructions I can find. Thanks.

  • TS1363 iTunes recognizes my iPod but my computer does not.  Is there a solution for this?

    When I plug my iPod Nano into my computer, iTunes recognizes it, but my computer does not so I am not able to sync it.  I have turned my iPod off before plugging it into my computer, but that doesn't seem to help.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I haven't had this issue until about 2 weeks ago and the only thing I've done within the last two weeks was upgrade to the latest iTunes.
    I appreciate your help!

    I figured out why my iPod wouldn't sync.  I must have previously changed my "Sync Music" setting to "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres".  Once I changed that setting to "Entire music library", my iPod was able to sync successfully.

  • My texts say they are sent to an android phone, but the android does not receive them for hours, or even at all.

    So, recently my texts are not being received by an android phone. It says they are sent on my phone, but the android phone does not get them for hours or even at all. When they do come through, they come in random order. It is really aggravating and I do not know how to fix it at all. I have reset my phone multiple, updated it, I have tried everything. Any thoughts?

    Contact your carrier. There are no settings on the iPhone regarding SMS. SMS is a carrier function. Have the carrier check to make sure that your account is provisioned correctly.

  • Installed xmms and xmms-imms, but the plugin does not show up?

    Hi All,
    I have installed xmms and xmms-imms. Then I have started xmms. Then I looked at the plugins (options->preferences->plugins->general plugins). There I see IRman, Joystick and Song change, but no imms.
    I see libxxmsimms in the plugin directory:
    # ls -l /usr/lib/xmms/General/
    total 160
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 43896 Nov 16 20:15 libir.so
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31576 Nov 16 20:15 libjoy.so
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23096 Nov 16 20:15 libsong_change.so
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 58656 Jan 16 16:52 libxmmsimms.so
    When I start xmms I see the following messages in the console:
    [cedric@TV cedric]$ xmms
    libmikmod.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    Message: device: default
    My versions:
    Xmms 1.2.11
    [cedric@TV cedric]$ /usr/bin/immsd
    immsd: version 3.1.0-rc10 ready...
    What can I check to get imms recognised by xmms?
    Best regards,
    Cedric
