ITunes thinks iPad is owned by another iTunes Library.

Hey,
My iTunes thinks that my iPad (first generation) is owned by another iTunes library. It definetely isn't. How do I get rid of this problem without erasing and syncing? And could this be related to the new motherboard and hard drive installed in my system?
Thanks!
Will

Supervision Mode seems to embed itself into the operating system. In Apple Configurator, I had to unassign myself from the iPad. That restarts the iPad. This is something your IT Administrator has to do, but I doubt they will take it out of Supervisor mode as that means the devices can be stolen and used by anyone.

Someone, your IT Administrator, used Apple Configurator to lock down your device and turned on "Supervision" in Apple Configurator:

Why does it tell me my ipad is synched with another itunes library and wants to erase the thing when I want to synch it? I haven't synched it with any other mac but my own.

Hi Lisa,
I know from experience that this must be a frustrating situation for you especially if you don't want to loose the music/video content that is currently on your ipod. Unfortunately though you may have to consider re-syncing it as it thinks its currently synced with another computer.
If you bought any music that is on the ipod through itunes you can opt to right click the ipod in itunes and 'transfer purchases' if you authorise your library in the 'Store' menu in itunes. Some reasons for this happening may include some of the following:
Deleting and reinstalling your itunes on the computer.
Removing the account you had on the computer you used itunes in and making a new one. (User account, eg: Lisa).
Changing computers in the past.
A friend or family member syncing it on their computer to give you there music.
A sign of a failing iPod.
Alternatively you can opt to not sync it and keep the music that is on your ipod there but this means you will never be able to update your ipod.
Hope this helps!

I have had to restore my pc to a place back in time when it worked correctly. This meant that iTunes was deleted. I have now downloaded the latest version of iTunes but I cant sync my iPad with it. I get the message that this iPad is synced with another iTunes Library and cant sync to this one. Thankfully all my music library is on iPad. I would be grateful for some help on this issue

Its solved I just restored it to that point

When trying to sync my iPad to my computer, I get the error "the iPad is synced with another iTunes library.

When trying to sync my iPad to my computer, I get the error "the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time." I only have one iTunes account, so I am a little confused. If I select the option to "Transfer Purchases, I get an error message that says "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
Any suggestions is appreciated.

Have you synced to this computer before?

I created one iTunes account on one pc and another iTunes account on my current pc. How do I merge the two accounts?

iMatch works by matching or uploading the music in your iTunes account, it doesn't matter where the music came from as long as it now in your account, but if you purchased it with a different account you will need to be logged in
No.
As long as you computer is authorized for that iTunes account, the songs will work with iTunes Match. The user does not need to be logged in on that computer.
Husband's computer and husband's iTunes account signed in.
Songs from wife's iTunes account on computer and computer authorized for wife's account. Songs from both will work with iTunes Match.

ITunes says iPad is supervised by another computer?

I have a school distributed iPad and they gave us the freedom to put music on it. However, when I plug in my iPad into my PC, an error message comes up and says, 'iPad is supervised by another computer and cannot be used with this computer,' and then won't let me do anything else with it, so I can't sync music to my iPad. The iPad doesn't show up under devices or anything. Help!
So far I've tried logging in on both my iPad and PC with my iTunes account, turned on home sharing on both devices, turned on iPad to automatically download music from other devices, and downloaded a free song on my iPad (I hoped it would trigger something).

After a pc crash I keep getting a message the iPad is synced to another iTunes library

MY pc crashed and has had to be wiped clean and I lost everything. I have now reinstalled the iTunes and loged in with my only iTunes account, but when I plug in both my iPad and iPhone I get the MSG " the ipd/iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this ipd/iPhone and syn with this library"
I do not have another account and really need to down load all my photos and songs. My husband passed away recently and I am distraught that I have no photos or his music on the pc now.
THere is nothing in the library at all no purchased items no music and no photos. It's a completely new iTunes. I have it all on the iPad but can't sync it with the account.

this usually happens when your device is connected to different comupters, whatever files that you have on your ipod gets deleted when you connect it to a new computer
you will have to just get all the songs from the first computer that you had used to transfer songs on your ipod
copy them on a usb stick and transfer it to the new computer and just re-add on to your device

You can transfer iTunes purchases by:

How would I take money from one iTunes account and put it on another iTunes account?

Trying to swap money from one iTunes account to another iTunes account so I can make in app purchases in a certain game. Can anyone help me out please?

You can't do this yourself. 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.

My itunes on ipad is frozen. Restarting itunes or ipad not working. Help?

I downloaded a movie from itunes. Now when I try and open itunes it freezes the app. Restarting itunes and the ipad hasn't worked. Any ideas?

Hello ThatsmeMT,
You may need to force close all open apps, then restart (or reset as necessary) your iPad.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If iTunes is still frozen, you may need to restore the device.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

ITunes thinks iPod is synced with another library

Hello guys,
The moment I connect my iPod to iTunes it doesn't sync. That is because it thinks my iPod is synced to another library, which isn't true. How can I "tell" it that? I use the newest version of iTunes on a Windows 7 64bit pc. Help? Please?

You can tell because you received the message. You have to options:
- Make this your syncing computer/iTunes library.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
- Or be satisfied with only being able to sync music and videos to the iPod from this library/computer. To do that you need to use the manual method included here:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod

Can I sync certain itmes from one itunes account and certain items from another itunes account on the same ipad?

I was wondering if an individual would be able to sync certain items from one itunes account and and items from a different itunes account to the same ipad?

You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

Moving iTunes from PC to Mac with another itunes already on it!

I have a click wheel ipod (approx 2 years old) and it has died on me. I'm going to get a new ipod but I want to know how I move my itunes from my PC to my boyfriend's Mac. He already has itunes (and a photo ipod) on his mac but we want to dedicate his computer to music and have both of our ipods (his current one and my new one) associated with his mac.
How do I do this without losing either one of our itunes libraries?
Would really appreciate some help if someone can.
Thanks
