My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

HT201317 The pictures in my photostream folder on my computer are being deleted when the pictures are deleted from photostream on individual devices. The photos on the computer were supposed to be permanent. Can I stop photostream from deleting from my

The original photstream instructions, and the current photostream information page on the apple website, say that photos on your pc or mac computer that have been synced by photostream are permanent but the latest updatge seems to have changed that so when items are deleted from any device they are deleted from all devices, including images that have gotten older and have rolled out of photostream on my iphone. I trusted photostream to save these images on my computer and now they appear to be gone. Can I turn off the option of deleting photostream images from my computer or do I need to copy these images to another folder to save them from being deleted when they are deleted from the device.

so say I take a picture with my phone. that picture is now located in my camera roll and uploads to my iclouds photostream, which I can then view on my computer. now my question is this: is the photos in my stream, on my comp permanent, allowing me to then delete them from my phones camera roll?
No
Photostream keeps them for 30 days.

Trackstarts are being deleted when cutting a region?

Right now I'm working on a live album and it's the first time I'm working with WaveBurner. I've got several wave files of a gig which I'd like to burn onto a CD.
Everytime when I cut a region (in order to get rid of seconds of crowd noise between two songs which I don't want on the album) my track starting points are being deleted.
I think I'm doing something wrong but I can't find why... I'm working with WaveBurner 1.6.
Thanks in advance.

I think I've already found the problem myself:
For some reason, the track start markers are connected to the 3rd region in the edit window. The problem with this is that (for instance) the first track start marker has a starting point of -37:14 (negative, relative to the starting point of the 3rd region.
Can anyone tell me what the point is for this feature?

Apps purchased on iPad are being deleted when syncing with iTunes

Hi,
I am having a problem with the apps that I purchase using my iPad not syncing with iTunes. I have purchased several apps and books. When I use my iPad to make the purchase and then plug the device into my computer to allow it to sync, iTunes goes through the process of backing up the iPad and then transfering purchases over. When it gets to the step for syncing tracks it goes and removes all of the apps that it just said it was transfering the purchases over for. Nothing I do seems to work to fix this issue so that the apps aren't removed when I sync. So far the only ones that stay on my computer and device are the apps that I used my computer to buy and then are synced onto my iPad. Please let me know what to do about this as I have lost several apps.
Thanks
Josef

I am not sure what the problem could be.
You may want to try disabling auto-sync, make some purchases on your iPad, and then transfering the purchases and see if they show up in your iTunes library and the checkbox for the apps are checked for syncing to your iPad. If they are then you can try syncing and see if that deletes them from your iTunes library.
The link for instructions on transfering your purchase is as follows:

How do I keep my email contacts from being deleted when I delete a phone contact?

Please HELP!! I am a new iphone user and I am not understanding all this "icloud" stuff. I have "Contacts" turned off in my phone's icloud settings and on my computer's icloud settings. Every time I add or delete a contact in my phone, the same changes are made in my email contacts. There are certain contacts I need in my email that I don't need in my phone. Any help would be appreciated. Also, if I have "Find My Iphone" turned on, do I still need an app for it to work and is it true that if a person's phone is lost or stolen it can't be tracked if someone turns off "Find My Iphone" (if a restrictions passcode has not been set up) in the icloud settings?

Letters and numbers are being deleted when I import a PDF file to my catalogue

I have a business catalogue that I change from time to time. I will make the changes in MS Word 2003 and then convert the document to a PDF file. I will then import the PDF file to my catalogue. Recently when I have impurted the PDF file I have noticed that letters on pages above the inserted PDF file and letters below the inserted PDF file will be missing. I recently updated my Acrobat Reader from 8.0 to 9.0, so maybe that is an issue.

How are you converting the documents to PDF ? Are you using Acrobat, if so, which version of Acrobat?
Also, what exactly do you mean when you "import the PDF file into my catalog". Which software are you importing the PDF into?

Downloads being deleted when Firefox closes

Since the latest update of Firefox my latest downloads are being deleted when I exit the browser. What I have to do to get around this problem is to copy the downloaded files and past them elsewhere before I close the browser. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it again but the problem still persists. ANy help would be appreciated as its very annoying.

I'm not sure why you wrote above: Cookies - OFF if you were clearing cookies.
Clearing cookies that way also clears cookies (including Flash local storage), so I would have suggest that if cookies were included in that list.
That is why I posted to check in Safe mode because that would be another possibility.

Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

ITunes Says My Contacts Are Being Synced With Microsoft Exchange, But I Don't Have An Exchange Account

iTunes says my contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air, but I do not have an Exchange account, and I have disabled over the air syncing on both my iPhone 4, as well as in iTunes. How do I remedy this? I did a complete Restore on my phone to rectify this, but got the same results.
I have worked for a couple of hours now; at first, none of my contacts were syncing with Outlook, even though iTunes said they were. Then after checking and unchecking everything I could find relating to syncing, some of my contacts synced. Now I've managed to get them all synced, but still getting this message. I need to make sure that going forward, all changes and updates are correctly synced manually whenever I plug my phone into my computer. Any suggestions?

You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

What does it mean, in iTunes, "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air"?

Hello,
I'm trying to sync the contacts on my iPhone 5 with my contacts on my Mac Book Air (merge them), I'm also using Outlook (Microsoft) to manage my email account and my contacts. I used to sync my contacts from my previous iPhone (4S) with my contacts on my Mac and also with contacts on Outlook.
Now that I have iPhone 5 I missed that sync (iPhone-Mac-Outlook), so I figure it out that in iTunes there is this message: "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air. Your contacts will also sync directly with this computer. This may result in duplicated data showing on your device"
Every contact created on iPhone doesn't sync with my Mac or Outlook.
How should I configure my iphone and my mac to sync properly??
Thanks a lot!
Kind Regards,
Silvana

Not surprisingly there have been no answers to this question because the only person who knows how to use iTunes/iCloud/iPhone is too busy.

Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud

tl;dr: iPhone works properly with iTunes 11.1 and iPad does not. Can't sync with both iTunes and iCloud to separate, distinct Calendar/Contact/Notes groups.
Explanation:
Ever since iTunes 11 was released (I'm on 11.1 now) I'm unable to sync Contacts, Calendars, and Notes via iTunes because I'm using over the air syncing from iCloud. As late as iTunes 10.7, this was okay, because "On My PC" groups would sync perfectly with iTunes, and iCloud groups would sync perfectly with iCloud.
In fact, this still works, today, but only on my iPhones.
However on the iPad I get the message "Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud." (Well, yeah, I know that. My iCloud contacts should continue to sync via iCloud. I don't want to turn off this behavior.)
The "workaround" used to be sticking to iTunes 10.7, which had correct behavior for both iPad and iPhone. Of course iOS7 nuked that option.
Is anyone aware of another workaround? (Merging my professional Outlook stuff into my iCloud stuff is not a workaround.)

I can place a bounty. $20 USD to your Paypal account for a fix.
