Music and your devices
I upgraded my phone to the newest iPhone (4s) and can't get all of my music on it (or my iPad for that matter). It says that some of the musice is already on 5 devices. Seeing that this is my 3rd iPhone, my music has been on the 1st two, my computer and a couple of iPods. Since I don't use the old iPhones (both of which were reset to factory settings before I got rid of them) or the iPods (one was reset to factory settings, one has not been but is so old, it freezes up everytime I plug it up to the computer), how can I get all of my music on my new devices?
sounds like it's pretty old music from when itunes music was still bound by drm
but you can remove the drm from inside itunes then it will not be limited any more

The photos in my photo stream removed and it says you don't have enough storage and your device why I am receiving this message and why my photos erased from photo stream
Try deleting the old backup.
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the device name and on the resulting screen, scroll down and tap on Delete Backup. -
I can't figure ou thow to add music from Itunes to my iPhone. I don't want to sync them, I prefer to select the files/music etc I want on my phone?
In Windows 7, iTunes 11, When you connect your device, and drag a file or multiple files to the right part of iTunes and a screen will appear with the playlist and the devices connected. Hope this will help you!

need to remove duplicate music in itune
For what it is worth, I am a fan of NuGen, I have both SEQ 1 and 2 and two stereo enhancing tools (stereoizer and stereoplacer I think they're called). Since I have the SEQ 1 it replaces all Channel EQ's. And the stereotools sound great and very lush, in stead of the more usual cheezy combfilterthingies that pass for stereo enhancing tools.
And I actually like the interfaces. Simple, but stylish, functional and ergonomic (in this case meaning you can see all parameters in a quick glance, no guessing at settings). -
I want to create a new account and transfer my photos and music to the new account. How can I do that?
Your talking about the famous AppleID divorce
There is no way to "move" music, apps, or photostreams between iCloud/AppleID accounts easily, but there are some ways to maybe salvage everything they want and get it to their individual devices. I'm going to assume that each has an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and that you all have one or more computers with iTunes (macs or PC's, shouldn't matter).
In any case, this isn't likely to be a quick fix for you, so clear a couple of hours in the evening and grab a beverage of your choice. Here are a few ways to manage the divorce:
Separate iCloud (ie, contacts, calendars, etc) accounts for each person, Shared iTunes Music/Apps:
This approach allows each person to have their own device backups, plus their own address books, calendars, etc, and it allows everyone to share the apps and music that has been and will be purchased. This will also mean each has their own photostreams as well. With calendars and photostreams, you can create "shared" versions of each so you and they can collectively contribute and modify the calendar, and can collectively contribute to a shared photostream.
The great benefit to this approach is that all of the music and apps that have been purchased will continue to be available on all of the devices.
The disadvantage is that with the shared iTunes account, everybody is sharing everybody else's gift cards and/or money that is in the account. Monitoring it is a manual process.
To setup this scenario:
Create a new iCloud account (ie, new AppleID's) for everyone, including yourself.
In the iCloud settings on each mobile device use the new iCloud account (ie, AppleID) for that person.
Use those same iCloud credentials for the iCloud settings in each person's account on the computer. (Note that if you do NOT use separate accounts for each person on the computer, this method will not work for synching the iCloud stuff, just the iTunes stuff. I highly recommend you create user accounts on the computer for each person).
On your mobile devices, in the iTunes and App Store settings continue to use the "original" AppleID under which all of the music and apps were purchased.
In iTunes for each user account on the computer, continue to use the "original" Apple ID, just like on the mobile devices.
For each person's photos that they wish to keep, make sure that they are currently in the mobile device's camera roll (just as Winston suggested).
Now the device's and computer user accounts are all setup. When the mobile device's are synched to user's (or the common) iTunes app, all of the music and apps will stay, and all of the photos that were previously in each user's camera roll will still be there.
Separate iTunes Accounts, Shared iCloud Account
This approach allows each person to have their own iTunes account for music and apps, but will keep all of the iCloud stuff (like contacts and calendars and photostreams) identical accross everybody's devices. This is particularly useful if the kids get their own gift cards and are not amenable to sharing with their family and you want to continue to have identical address books, calendars, and photostreams.
The main drawback to this approach is that it is possible that each individual will lose access to some music and all purchased apps. That will depend highly upon when the music was purchased. ie, was it purchased before or after Apple went to a digital rights management (DRM) free model for music. All purchased apps will technically be lost, but sometimes its still possible to "keep" those apps via iTunes and your device will continually and annoyingly ask you for the credentials (ie, the original AppleID) under which the app was purchased.
Another drawback is that the free iCloud storage account is likely to be enough to backup all of your devices (if you have more than 1). Therefore, you will likely have to purchase a larger iCloud storage plan.
To setup this scenario:
Create a new AppleID for each person for use in the iTunes Music/App store. Remember to keep your original AppleID that was used for all of the purchases to date.
On each mobile device, in the iTunes and App Store settings input the new AppleID for each user. On one of the devices (you'll have to figure out on which one it makes the most sense), continue to use the original AppleID.
In the iCloud settings for each device (and the computer accounts), continue to use the original AppleID.
Now you must setup new iTunes databases on the computer for each seperate user. The only way to do this is to have each user have a seperate account on the computer (again, mac or PC, doesn't matter).
In each user's iTunes app on the computer, input the iTunes store credentials that match his/her mobile device that you setup in step 2 above.
On the computer, move all of the music that each person cares about into his/her separate iTunes database (ie, import the music into iTunes by whatever method you choose). The exact method for this is dependent upon whether its windows or mac, but basically, find the actual music files on the hard drive, and then import each of them into iTunes for each user. You want each user to setup their "new" music database on the computer. This is what the mobile device will synch against.
Once complete, synch each mobile device with each user's respective iTunes app. You MUST use separate iTunes databases at this point.
If all of the music was purchased post-DRM (or is DRM-free for whatever reason), then this method will result in each user having all of the music that he/she wishes. However, if some of the music has DRM, then your success here will be a crapshoot.
Photostreams should all continue to be shared and collective since they are attached to the common iCloud account, not iTunes.
Separate iTunes Music/App Account, Separate iCloud
This is the ultimate in "every man for himself". The advantage is the each person has their own free iCloud features (including the all-important backup) and each has their own iTunes account.
The disadvantage is the same as "Common iCloud, Separate iTunes" approach: individuals may lose access to already purchased music and apps. The photostreams will also be broken apart, although you can setup shared photostreams for the future.
To setup this up:
Create new iCloud/AppleID accounts for each person (except for the original user).
In each person's mobile device, use their new AppleID for both iCloud and iTunes Music and App stores. One person keeps the original AppleID and continues to use it.
Follow the steps above for creating new music databases in each user's account on the computer.
Synch each user's mobile device with their respective iTunes database.
OK, that's what i have for you at this point. I'm happy to answer further questions on this and help you figure out how to do what you want to do.
Thanks -
I have an old icloud account with music and pics on a computer and a new account on my iphone and ipad how do I transfer my pics and music to my iphone account or cync them i dont want to have to repurchase all my music to play on my iphone
Downloading previously purchsed music from iCloud is based on your iTunes ID, not your iCloud ID. (It uses "iTunes in the Cloud", which has nothing to do with your iCloud account, just your iTunes ID.)
If you are using a different iTunes ID on your iOS devices than the one you used to purchase the music, you'll have to sync the music to your devices using iTunes. If they are using the same iTunes ID, you can download the music to your devices as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. -
I am trying to clean up and reduce the songs in i-Tunes on my i-Phone. I connect the phone to my computer, go to i-Tunes, and display the music list (songs). I then click "delete" on the song i want to remove, and it disappears from the list. The problem is, it remains in the song list in my phone, and won't go away, no matter what I do. Help!
It means no such thing. Your selection of songs to sync remains in iTunes regardless of what is currently on the device. After you delete the music from your device, connect it to iTunes, select it from devices:
Then select the Music tab, uncheck the few songs you no longer want on the device and resync. -
A couple months ago my house burned and I lost my computer that had my iTunes on it as well as all of my back up discs. I did get my iPhone out though. My question is there a way to recover or re-download all of my purchases for free?
As far as apps downloaded from the appstore, you should be able to re-download them for free.(http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1469) Music and videos seems to be a different story.
You may be able to contact apple and ask them to allow you to re-download your purchased songs, but I'm not sure what they can do.
Some people have also been asking about transferring their music from an ipod to a different computer. While this is something that isn't possible through iTunes, there may be 3rd party software out there that can extract your music from your device. I suggest searching for what software options are out there.
Good luck,

Itunes and wireless devices no longer show up in upper right corner of itunes window
Help! My Internet service was interupted last week and when it returned my iTunes and wireless devices no longer show up in upper right corner of the iTunes window. I finally figured out how to get both of my wireless devices to show up on the left hand column under devices, but nothing else shows up now in the upper right corner! I cannot for the life of me figure this one out and the tech manual is not helping at all. Help!
If you have the left-hand sidebar showing then that is where the store and your devices will show can be selected - if you press option-command-S if you are using a Mac, control-S on a PC, then the sidebar should be hidden and the store and device should go back to the top right. Is that what you mean ?

HT204387 can you listen to music with your ipod touch 4g and a bluetooth handsfree device
can you listen to music with your ipod touch 4g and a bluetooth handsfree device
Yes if the BT device supports the profiles supported by the iPod. See:
iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
The A2DP provide is used with speaker and headphones
The Hands Free profiles (HFP) is typically used with headset (headphones and mic). -
can any Ipads forward video & music through your local network to a device(tv) like an android or surface tablet
Had the same issue here. Here is the best solution I have found so far:
Hotspot + Pepwave Max On-The-Go (w/ Load Balancing) + Airport Extreme
I have a VZW MiFi, but I believe this set-up will work with other hotspot devices. I actually have 2 MiFi Hotspots with a monthly allowance of 20G each. They are plugged directly into the Pepwave router (aka, tethered). (Note: you have to have the right cable to do this. The one that came with my Hotspot was only for charging.) If, for some reason, you cannot tether with your Hotspot device, you want a router that offers WiFi as WAN. The Pepwave will do this. The Pepwave is connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet cable. I have the WiFi on the MiFis and the Pepwave turned off. So the only visible network is my Airport Extreme. The Pepwave is essentially just functioning as a modem.
I used to have a Cradlepoint, but I did not find it very user friendly--too complex for home use. The Pepwave Max OTG is awesome. I got the one with Load Balancing so it allows you to connect up to 4 cellular devices. If you only need the one Hotspot, you can just get the cheaper Pepwave Max OTG. The Pepwave allows me to run off one of the MiFis until I hit my 20G/month allowance, then it automatically switches to the other one. That way I never max-out on my monthly data allowance. Additionally, it gives you a real-time, hourly, daily and monthly running tally on data usage.
The guys at the 3Gstore are excellent and can help you figure out the best solution for your situation. -
My ipod was stolen and i can not get my music onto my computer. What do I do? Ive spent ALOT of money on music and apps and i cant access them. anyone want to be so kind as to help?
What country are you in ? As long as they are still available in the store then apps can be re-downloaded from the store for free, and in a number of countries music can also be re-downloaded : re-downloading.

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?
unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups
