    My daughter is currently using my Apple ID with her ipod touch.  I will be upgrading her to an iPhone 4S and would like to use a different Apple ID and a new computer and still keep all the current music and Apps that she has now.  How do I do this?

    Make a new Apple ID for her.
    Use it on her iPhone 4S for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.
    Use your ID on her iPhone 4S for iTunes and App Stores.
    Sign in with your Apple ID on iTunes Store (on iTunes app of her new computer)
    Authorize her new computer with your Apple ID in iTunes (iTunes menu>Store>Authorize this Computer)
    Check "Share my Library on my Local Network" in iTunes Preferences in your and her computer
    Sign in Home Sharing of her iTunes with your Apple ID.
    Copy all the Music she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
    Copy all the apps she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
    Export all playlist as xml files from the old computer to the new one.(right click on the playlist to export and "File>Library>Import Playlist to Import)
    Sync her iPhone 4S with all content she wants from her new computer (all data from the old computer will be deleted)
    Are you sharing Contacts or other data from iCloud?
    Be careful or ask for help about moving from iCloud account to another one.

    thanks for the reply.  guess i'll have to do that.  apple, not really happy with what you've done with this latest update.  have not been able to enjoy my music in my car since the update.  most of us dont mind changes that progress timely, but this was much more than just a progression.  this was a complete change.  and not a good one, at all.  thanks to the two people that replied.  appreciate it.

    DO NOT attach & sync your full iPod to an empty iTunes!!!
    These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

    Senuti (Mac OS X v10.3 or higher Recovery Utility)
    XPlay (Windows software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    Extremely Simple & Free Method: (just to recover the song files – may not work on a Mac)
    1 - Open iTunes
    2 - Edit=>Preferences=>’Advanced/General’ tab
    2a --- Select ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library’: checked
    2b --- Select ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organized’: checked
    2c --- Click OK to store changes
    3 - Attach your iPod to the PC and hold down the ‘Shift+Ctrl’ keys until the iPod is fully recognized (this will defeat the auto-sync process)
    4 - If you get a dialog box to link the Library, decline this option
    5 - Within iTunes: Edit=>Preferences=>’iPod’ tab: switch iPod to manual transfer – click ‘OK’
    6 – Eject iPod
    7 – Close iTunes, then reopen iTunes and attach the iPod (it’s in manual sync now)
    8 – File=>Add Folder
    9 - Browse to and open ‘My Computer’ (click on the ‘+’) and select the iPod
    10 - Click OK
    -- The music files should start to transfer back into iTunes with its correct information
    –-- This will take some time depending on your PC’s speed and the amount of songs on the iPod
    No Playlists, or Ratings, Last Played, & Play Count attributes will be transferred from the iPod to iTunes using this method.
    If you have problems with seeing the iPod within 'My Computer', try again switching your update method to 'manual', detach the iPod, then reconnect the iPod to the PC.
    After recovering your Library, strongly consider developing a thorough and frequent backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
    You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
    -- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
    -- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
    -- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
    Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
    If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?
    Here is a post on developing a thorough backup strategy:

  • If I make a new iTunes account will I lose my app music etc from my old account

    If I make a new iTunes account will I lose my app music etc from my old account

    1. No.
    2. Not as long as you're still syncing it with the same iTunes library. If you meant iTunes libraries and not iTunes Store accounts to begin with, you need to use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

  • HT204308 ITUNES KEEPS WIPING OUT ALL MY DOWNLOADS WHAT IS GOING ON

    ITUNES KEEPS WIPING OUT ALL MY DOWNLOADS AND IT TAKES HOURS TO RELOAD THEM AGAIN, MY LIBRARY IS SUDDENLY EMPTY WHAT IS GOING ON

    Hi
    Check and see what version of iTunes you are using. If it's version 11 or 12 in any flavour the default is to delete podcasts after they are played. You have to go into podcast settings and tell iTunes not  to delete your podcasts (settings will also show how often to update podcast feed). After that EACH AND EVERY PODCAST episode you download has to be saved or iTunes will take the liberty of deleting those episodes after they have been played (at least that is my experience). Also iTunes behaves very differently in Podcast and episode views of podcasts.
    Hope this works for you.

  • I tried to delete all of my duplicate songs in iTunes and it deleted all of my music. Is there a way i get my music back?

    i tried to delete all of my duplicate songs in iTunes and it deleted all of my music. Is there a way i get my music back?

    From the backup you maintain in case something drastic happens to your collection as it surely will when your drive crashes, the computer is stolen, etc.?
    Are the files in the trash?  I don't let iTunes manage my music so when I delete a track I have to hunt down the file, drag it to the trash, and empty the trash in order to get rid of it.  I don't know how iTunes does it for others.

  • Help: Word 2004/Mac wiped out all my customized commands, etc.!

    I opened Word 2004 for Mac (Version 11.2) on my G4 15" Powerbook this morning and discovered that it had reverted to its factory install settings and wiped out all my preferences, toolbar customizations, and (many, many) customized keyboard commands.
    Neither my Entourage settings nor my Styles have been affected, so the problem seems to be with preferences, toolbar, and keyboard settings only, and not with Office 2004 for Mac or Mac OS 10.3.9. This seems to have happened spontaneously, because everything was working normally when I shut down my computer last night.
    I have a copy of my most recent keyboard settings, though not toolbars and preferences, but restoring everything will be extremely time-consuming, and since I'm on a deadline, I'm very ticked off! Can anyone tell me (1) Why this happened, (2) If there's any way to restore all my stuff without doing it all from scratch?; (3) How to prevent this happening again?
    Oh, and one more aggravating thing: (4) The Word "Help" window is now so big that the lower right corner no longer shows on the screen of my laptop, and even when I click the green button to minimize the screen, I can't get at that corner to reduce the size of the window. Anyone know how to make the Help window (much) smaller?
    Many thanks for any suggestions or information!

    Hi, Turtlewiz. Always remember, each time Word kicks you in the teeth, that it's not a bug, it's a feature! Word may temporarily have forgotten that it knows what you want much better than you do, and allowed you to choose some settings and create some customizations yourself. Now that Word has regained its senses, all that silliness is over and you're back at its mercy again. In other words, the situation is normal, as most Word users can attest.
    The remedy is to use a different word processor — one that lets you be in charge, instead of dictating the terms of your capitulation at the most inopportune of times.

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch with the new iTunes, it has lost all of my music and videos from my iPod/old iTunes library: including all but 4 songs of my bought songs, videos and audeobooks!

    I have recently updated my computer since my old one broke and therefore had to download a new iTunes. When I came to add my iPod to this new iTunes, I was given no option to transfer the contents of my iPod library to this new iTunes and was forced to try 'sync'; when my old computer was repaired once we lost all of our data so I had to download a new iTunes then,all of my iPod downloads were transferred and I could easily reburn my CDs so I didn't think the wiping of my iPod would be a problem. When I clicked 'sync' it warned me that it would replace the contents of my iPod with the new iTunes library, as I said I didn't think this would be a problembut then it asked if it should transfer my recent iTunes downloads so I said 'yes'. The sync was completed but now I only have 4 downloaded songs and 5 albums which I burned to my new iTunes! I have lost all the music I bought, all the videos I bought and all the audiobooks I bought! (Luckily I still have my apps.) I tried to restore backup but realised that only covers calendars, contacts E.T.C and I checked my iTunes account and that shows all my downloads but I can't see a way to restore them or anything like that!
    Please help! I am in despair as you can imagine how much moneys worth I have lost and am losing faith in Apple

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • How do I remove my apple ID from my kids devices, create their own ids, and then move all of their music and apps to their specific devices?

    What I need help with is in the question. Kids are old enough to have separate ids. I want to ensure that I can create them and then associate their music and apps to the right accounts.

    As Allan posted you cannot transfer Apps and Music to a different Apple ID. Here's what I would do...
    Use separate Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime. These services are separate from iTunes.
    Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ -- Note: You need a verified email address
    On the device(s) go:
    Settings > iCloud > (Scroll Down) Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID -- Note: This only affects the device
    Settings > Messages > Send and Received > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
    Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
    This will separate your iCloud content (i.e. Contacts, Notes, Reminders etc.), Messages and FaceTime.
    You all can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share the already purchased Apps, Music and Movies
    If you decide that's not acceptable go:
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID > Sign out > Sign in with the new Apple ID -- Note: We covered the transfer of content part.
    Hopefully that will put you on the right path to sort out the issue.

  • I was upgrading to iOS5, backed up files on my iphone4, when relaunching the iPhone, I decided to create a new profile (and then copy all contacts from the old profile). The old profile then got erased, together with all contacts. No old profile in iTunes

    I was upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. The old files in my profile backed up. When relaunching the iPhone, I decided to create new profile on the iPhone, thinking I could copy my old contacts from the old profile (as iCloud seems to merge all contacts). When the ne profile was created on the iPhone, the old profile on iTunes disappared without a trace.  Please help restore my contacts.

    Did you use the Profile Manager or did you use reset to create that new profile?
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
    A reset tries to import some data from the old profile and then moves the profile to the desktop, but if you use the Profile Manager then you need to copy that data yourself to the new profile.
    If you've deleted the old profile before making sure that your data has been recovered then you've lost that personal data.

  • The newest v. of iTunes has wiped out all playlists and my entire library

    Updated to newest v. of iTunes, go on today for the first time.  My entire library is gone, all playlists, everything!  I plug in my iPod, and it tells me its synched to another iTunes Library, well this iPod has never been synched with any other library or computer.  Complete debacle, and if its an easy fix, its still wasting my time.  Maybe a mod should jump on here and tell me the fix.

    iTunes doesn't actually care what the name of the file is, or update it, it just use the same one it opened last time.
    The instructions were to copy the dated .itl file into the main iTunes folder and give it the standard name of iTunes Library.itl. While the archive version will often work from within the Previous iTunes Libraries folder iTunes will then start putting other supporting files in ..\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries instead of ..\iTunes. Next time you upgrade you'll find you have a new folder at ..\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries\Previous iTunes Libraries
    The repair instructions are now slightly different.
    Copy your active library file into your iTunes folder. If present, rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and continue to hold down the shift key until asked to chose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the library file in the iTunes folder. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
