Laptop broken and music deleted from iphone5 - I need help to retrieve itunes?
My old laptop has broken and at the same time my music has been deleted from my iphone5 (silly mistake by my husband to free more space for newborn photos!). I am not very technologically advanced with this sort of thing - can anyone tell me if it is possible for me to retrieve my itunes somehow? I can use another laptop. My itunes library was made up of a mixture of imported CDs and tunes purchased from itunes store. Just music on there. Any help greatly appreciated.
Depends on exactly what happened to the old laptop, but it may well be possible to extract the drive, put it in an enclosure, then retrieve your iTunes library and other data from it.

Cannot download movies and music purchased from itunes to ipad
I have an iPAD 2 with WIFI/3G capabilities. Currently I am unable to download movies and music purchased from iTUNES. The only thing I can download with no problems are APPS. I don't have a laptop/desktop with iTUNES, so that is out of the question. Here is the kicker, my friend who has an iPAD 2 with WIFI only, is able to download anything and everything using the same WIFI connection. Is anyone else facing the same problem?
Check settings, general, restrictions. Make sure I tunes is set right. Otherwise, log onto your account in I tunes, and make sure there is nothing strange going on with your accout. If it works in the app store, it should work in I tunes.

How do i restore notes i deleted from iphone5?
how do i restore notes i deleted from iphone5?
Last week, I had serious yahoo mail issues. I'd forgotten that I'd deleted yahoo mail and added it again. Thus turning off notes in the mail settings (notes was not enabled on email). This will save you from buying expensive recovery software that you may only use one time. It will also save you from a long system retore on my iphone which may have cause you to lose unsaved data. This is the easiet way to get your deleted notes compared to the alternatives.
Deleted, lost notes on iphone 5
On your iPhone:
1) Settings
2) Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3) Gmail>turn Notes On
4) Then to All of my other email accounts and checked the notes were on. I.e, iCloud, Yahoo, etc. -
How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.
First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
I would like to upload my music library from my PC to the Cloud through iTunes Match. I also will be purchasing a Mac in the near future and would like to download some of that music from iCloud to my Mac. Will I have compatability problems?
You should have no problems. To add a second computer or device to iTunes Match, see:

Movies and music vanished from iPhone 3Gs
Hello! I discovered today that mysteriously, all of my movies and music vanished from my iPhone 3Gs. I have not recently synced my phone or updated the software. My iMac is currently on a FedEx truck being shipped out west for a month long vacation so syncing is not an option. Also, when I try to download new stuff from iTunes, the phone tells me there's not enough space when there is plenty since all my music and movies are gone. I called Apple and essentially, I was told that they couldn't help me at this time. Has anyone else had this happen? It's incredibly frustrating as I was planning to watch movies on the plane
Apparently, data or metadata is corrupted on your phone. Assuming that your phone was never jailbroken or hacked, the solution is to restore in iTunes using your most recent good backup, but without your computer that's not an option. Simply syncing with it probably won't work for the same reason you can't download, and risks replacing a previous good backup with corrupted data.
You can try resetting, but I'm not optimistic - press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears. -
I used my appleid on my husband's phone. Our contacts merged, both phones ring and he sees my texts. I deleted his contacts from my phone and they deleted from his phone also. How can I get my appleid off his phone and retrieve his contacts?

Bad mistake. You shouldn't have used your Apple ID on his phone. And you made it worse because now the contacts are gone, as you deleted them from your phone, they got deleted on iCloud. Your husband should have his Apple ID.
There is really no way of recovering the deleted contacts unless you backed up using iTunes and even then you will only be able to recover those contacts that were on a call list. Read here:

Missing link between Itunes and Music Loaded from CDs
Somehow itunes no longer recognizes the link between itunes and music loaded from my Cds (error message in itunes indicates original file could not be found). I can establish this link manually one by one and the songs play but how can I establish this link other than manually one by one in itunes ?
Hi again!
I saved the last message by accident which caused the reply to be sent off and so I had not finished what I wanted to write. Aploogies.
I didn't find the new iMac hybrid SSD/Disk system easy to understand when it arrived over a year ago. I eventually decided that the 256 SSD section would be best suited to having the Operatin System for greater speed and I must have decided to put the music files on the 1TB internal hard drive along with photos and raw video clips. I can't honestly remember. There was a lot to take in. I wasn't even aware until this failure that iTunes had a default location.
In addition to having the iTunes folder on the internal 1TB hard drive, I used Time Machine to store the entire computer contents on a 1TB Western Digital external hard drive. I had done my last Time Machine back-up on the 13 February and so I was hoping that by opening one or two songs on the back-up, they might reactivate the 'old' interface with the original playlists on it. That didn't happen but I then realised, while I was still in the Tme Machine back-ups on the WD external hard drive, that in the iTunes Media folder contained within the iTunes folder on the default Users/Username/Music location there was only an Add automatically to iTunes folder which was empty. While still still looking through the Time Machine back-upsI saw that the music instead was stored on the 1TB of internal hard drive as outlined on the first post:
'The music files are located in folders (name of artists), within a folder (iTunes Music), within a folder (iTunes), within a folder (Music), within a folder (username) on the 1TB of internal disk drive.'

Are you looking of the previous history? If you have saved all the event log and auditing is enabled, you can go back and search.

You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes. When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

just got an iphone 4 from my dad and its his old iphone and i was gonna delete his account so i can put my account on the iphone but he does not remember the password so I couldnt delete it. I need help deleting it without a password.
If the iPad has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device or to turn off Find My iPhone - then you will need that information. There's no way around it If your father can't remember the password, he'll need to recover it.
http://iforgot.apple.com
If he can't do it via that page, then he'll have to call Apple Support and ask to speak with Account Security.
If that's not the "password" you meant, please post back and clarify.

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help
I experienced this issue as well.
Background:
I had opened an ICS attachment for a repeating event on my iPhone, which added the item to my phone's calendar. I did not have the option to delete the calendar entry from my phone, and the item did not appear on the calendar on my Mac. My phone is currently running iOS 7 (but the problem began quite awhile ago; I don't recall which version of iOS was installed when it started).
Solution (summary):
Create a new calendar, move the items that you wish to delete to the new calendar, then delete the new calendar
Solution (detailed steps):
Create a new calendar
On your phone, open the calendar app
Tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the "Add Calendar..." option
Give your new calendar a good name, such as "Delete me"
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the new calendar
Tap "Done" in the top left corner to finish editing the list of calendars
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars
Assign all calendar entries that you wish to delete to the calendar you created in step 1
Tap a calendar entry that you wish to delete
Tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner
Scroll down until you see the Calendar field (on an iPhone or iPod it's usually just below the bottom of the screen), then tap the Calendar field to bring up the list of available calendars
Tap the name of the calendar that you created in step 1 (e.g. "Delete me"); the screen should return to the main calendar entry page
Tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen. You may need to then tap the "< Day" button on the top left of the screen to return to the main calendar view
Repeat the instructions in step 2 for each of the calendar entries that you wish to delete
Delete the calendar that you created in step 2 (this will delete all calendar entries assigned to this calendar)
From the main screen in the calendar app, tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Tap the entry for the calendar that you created in step 2 (e.g. "Delete me")
Scroll to the bottom of the scren and tap the "Delete Calendar" option. You should be prompted with a warning that explains that "All events associated with this calendar will also be deleted."
If you're sure that the only items on this calendar are items that you wish to delete, tap the "Delete Calendar" button
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to exit the Edit Calendars screen
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars. You should now be back at the main view of the calendars app
Rejoice, your pesky repeating calendar events have been deleted
At this point all of the items that you assigned to the deleted calendar should be gone
Repeat the steps above for any entries that you missed
