Multiple copies of songs. How do I change my settings?
Ok I'm having a serious issue. I have multiple copies of songs in Itunes. So I ran a duplicate killer program to get rid of them from my my music folder. Good. Then went thru Itunes and deleted duplicates. Good. I think I also ran a program to rename/organize. SO - here's the issue: Itunes shows a lot of songs have the ! exclamation to show they've moved. Can I somehow clean out my library and start over without losing my purchased stuff? Most of my music is from my own collection - mp3 format, in my my music folder. How should I have the settings so that it automatically puts new songs into Itunes so I don't have to import everything again and end up with multiples again? And if I delete all the files out of Itunes, will it still keep my purchased music. It's a mess and I need help... and apple doesn't make it easy to get help. I can't even figure out how to update my email address on this stupid forums page - my new email is [email protected]
Under Security & Privacy under System Preferences, check to see what settings you have for "Allow Applications downloaded from..." to select your safest settings. I have mine checked for App Store and Identified developers. You can change it to "Anywhere" to be able to access anything. You should be able to install even with these settings: you'll just have to authenticate with an admin password.

We have a large family, 5 kids and two adults all with iPads, iPhones, Mac Books, Servers.... How can we combine our purchases to use on all our devices. We have two Apple ID's and sometimes buy multiple copies because of how we are limited...
Hello Halfback71,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Best of luck,

How do I change the settings on my ipod so that it plays continuous music. Right now, it plays the same song over and over, even if I select the shuffle icon. It used to show the continuous play icon, it doesn't anymore.
Right click on a movie(in iTunes), and click "get info" then go to album artwork and add the artwork that you want...

why when i check songs they go to the top of my playlist. On my pc they stay where they are but on my laptop they go to the top of the list, how do i change the settings?
I've seen this too and I believe its on the side of Dw that is doing it.
Something in the Dw code is causing it.

How can I change the settings wit mail so that when I delete my Verizon email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad too.... Seems like I shouldn't have to delete my email in three places...iPhone ..iPad ...and desktop
Don't know which email host you are using, but if this is a POP account, you can't do it. If IMAP, then deleting one email should delete it on all other devices.

My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
You'd need to add an account here: -

You cannot.
By Design the iPhone can Only Sync to One iTunes Library at a time. -

I recently switched over from Apple to Sony and I would like to know how I can change my settings so that all my iCloud emails are forwarded to my Gmail account?
Log in on iCloud.com and go to Mail. In Mail, at the bottom left you should see a gear icon. Click on it, go to Settings (or Preferences, I'm doing this from memory), and in there you'll find an option to forward your iCloud email to another service.

How do I change default settings in the author field when I edit or insert a comment in a PDF?
How do I change default settings in the author field when I edit or insert a comment in a PDF?
Generally it gets this info from the Identity in the preferences. Unfortunately, I know of no way to change the Login Name that shows up in the comments. I need to look at newer versions of Acrobat on other machines, this is AA8.

How can I change the settings on my iPhone 5 so that I get new emails automatically? Without having to open the mail app.
Thanks!No, they will all follow the default setting. If you want them all to fetch, for example every 15 minutes, then set it to 15 minutes in Fetch. I only mentioned the other if you wanted to leave one for manual. I have an account on my phone that is a POP account that I get mail at home from. I let my home computer get this mail, but when I am out of town, I pick it up with the iPhone. That one is set to manual.
