ITunes suddenly using old/wrong profile for iPhone?

This happened about a week ago, but I wanted know if I'm the ony one.
When I went to sync my iPhone I launched iTunes and it found my iPhone via WiFi. I noticed that it said my contents were overloaded by several gigs, and my app bar was much larger than normal. I cancelled the sync and looked at my iPhone; about 2 and a half screens worth of old apps were waiting to install. I was able to stop them by removing them in the app tab in iTunes after reconnecting my iPhone. Afterwords I noticed my iBooks were all messed up -- missing books and books from my library I did not want on my iPhone. I spent an evening getting that resolved. Then I noticed that my music playlists were also messed up in a similar way; it turned out that all of my selections under albums, artists and genres had been deselected. Today I noticed that several of my ringtones are missing, so I'll have to resolve that when I get home. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what could have caused it?

If there is a problem with the backup, transferring the backup will also transfer the problem.
When connecting a new iPhone to iTunes on a computer used to sync with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone to the new iPhone, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone or do not transfer the backup. Choose the latter.

My audiobook is for sale on iTunes, but iTunes is using the wrong "Preview" section. The section they used is the only 30 sec. in Spanish and the rest of the book is in English. How can I get iTunes to fix this?

I am also on my forth hard drive on the same model.
When I unpacked the computer, the hard drive did not include OS X either. Actually, it was completely blank. Did not even have a partition table! I have also had random problems with the machine not charging.
I have replaced the drive myself with an SSD after figuring the Apple Certified technicians were incompetent. Now even the SSD is starting to fail
I have bought an HP laptop and setup Ubuntu on it. Hope it turns out better than my previous four various Mac models. All have had various repeating hardware issues that Apple Certified technicians have been unable or unwilling to correct.

I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade but I have a new Apple ID, how can I make certain I don't lose any data in my iBooks?

I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade iBook but it is "stuck" on my old ID, yet I already created a new ID but it won't let me update the App. I have everything backed up on my MacBook so if I delete iBooks on my iPad and retrieve the App under my new ID and then sync with my MacBook, will I still have all of the books, etc.?

Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong.

How do I use the same profile for two users on the same computer

I use my laptop both at home and at work. And in each venue I use a different user log on. But I wish to have firefox use the same profile for each user log on. How can I get firefox to point to the same profile for each user?

Note that only one user (Firefox instance) can use a profile folder at the time, so if you would switch the Windows user to another account then you would first have to close Firefox.

First two iPhone 4's no service. Now have new phone. How to connect to iTunes without using old backup?

Got a new iPhone 4 in November after long time success with an iPhone 3G. It constantly showed no service & gave error message to restore with iTunes, which I did. It continued to not have service. I would reset network connection and it would work for a bit only to not be of use again. In January I brought it back to the apple store and they gave me a new phone. I took it home and synced it with iTunes. However the second phone started to do the same thing. I am on my 3rd iPhone 4. I am scared to sync it with iTunes and restore to backup for fear something in iTunes could be corrupting it. Does anyone have houghts on this?

ITunes account, how to authorise apps for iphone, from an account in which password is not retrievable.

can someone please help me?
my mum got an Iphone 4 a few weeks after they were released. at the time, i had an itunes account of my own, and for a while, that account was used for appliction downloading. i then made her an account a few months ago, and have since been downloading from that. i recently put ios5 on her iphone, which removed all applications. i selected to apply them back on, but because some were downloaded from another account, in which i can not remember the password, and i have tried every previous password i have used, and i have gone through the "forgot password"options, but have never recieved any emails with a reset password code, from apple. i am hoping someone can give me a solution, as my mum is not very impressed with over 25 apps missing, because of this issue. thankyou, in advanced.

Here is a script that will examine each track in the entire iTunes library--or a selection of tracks--for items purchased from the iTunes Store (audio, video, and books) and then sort them by either the purchaser's name or account ID into discrete playlists, eg: "Tom Ryan Purchases" or "[email protected] Purchases". http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackdownpurchases
For apps, App Store Expenses gathers all iPhone applications from your iTunes folder on your computer, reads out the price information and presents the total amount of money you've spent on the Apple App Store. It provides a list selectable by the account that purchased each app. The app is a free download (donations requested) from: http://wetfish.de/software/osx/app-store-expense-monitor/

Moved library to external HD, iTunes still uses old iTunes Library.itl file

Howdy-
I'm running Windows 7 & iTunes XXX
I moved my library from my laptop internal hard drive (C:\Users\jasonbar\Music\iTunes) to my external hard drive (G:\iTunes).
I followed the recommended procedure:
1 - Edit/Preferences: check "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized"
2 - Edit/Prefrences: click "Change" & input "G:\iTunes" into box to denote new library location
3 - File/Library/Organize Library & check "Consolidate Files"
Now, I've found that iTunes still uses the old "iTunes Library.itl" file in the old location (C:\Users\jasonbar\Music\iTunes). For the sake of convenience (and to make the library entirely self-contained on the external HD & to protect it from possible laptop loss/failure), it would be swell if I could migrate that file over to my external hard drive also. But, if I remove the "iTunes Library.itl" file from the old location & copy it to the new iTunes directory, iTunes just doesn't seem to be able to figure out that there's a nice "iTunes Library.itl" file on my external hard drive that it can use.
Is there any way to achieve what I want?
Thank you,
-Jason

I assume you have your iTunes folder located on your other drive (no Music folder enclosing it.) On your startup volume you have a /Home/Music/ folder but the iTunes folder has been removed. OK, so far?
Go to where the real iTunes folder is located. Select the folder then CTRL or RIGHT-click and select Make alias from the contextual menu. You should see a new icon appear named "iTunes alias" with a little curly arrow in the lower left corner of the icon. Now, copy the alias file to the /Home/Library/Music/ folder on your startup volume. Rename it to just "iTunes" (no quotes.) Delete the alias you created on the other drive.
Now when you double-click on the iTunes alias in your /Home/Music/ folder your real iTunes folder should open up. Now if you open iTunes application it should re-discover the iTunes folder.
Or you can do what the other posted suggested. Simply point iTunes to the new location of your iTunes folder. Open iTunes Preferences, click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar. Click on the Change button, locate the new library location, click on OK button of the Open dialog.

I used the wrong password for my belkin wifi. Now that I know the correct password I can not get pass the unable to connect or join message. I have turned off all the options such as wifi and join and also put my touch to sleep.. but nothing seems to work

I used the wrong password to join my new belkin wifi. Now that I have the correct password, I can not get the to the join screen with the space to type in the password. I continue to get the unable to join message. I have put the touch to sleep and I have turned on and off the wifi and join options on the Network screen page. Does anyone know how to get pass this block of the wrong password to a new page that will allow me to type in the correct password. I see there is a option that asks if I want to reset the network settings.. is that what I should do? and what does it erase when I do that? Thanks for any input anyone has.

Yes. Reset network settings. Head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.
