N81 any way to save music library?

hi!
I just bought n81 phone and 8gb sd card for it.
Have spent last three days getting to know it, fixing problems, fixing own mistakes etc. At this point I have got around everything what i wanted, except..
Here is what I didnt find answer to.
Each time I take out 8gb card out of the phone - media library is lost.
The problem is that I have a lot of music - have filled the card with only a small part of it. And rescanning the media library each time when I insert the card has become very annoying - already at this point. Im afraid to imagine how long it will take when I will have all 8gb filled with music files.
Is there any way how to disable automatic rescanning? So I can do it manually when its necessary?

Is there any way to save a library from an old device after it's shown up using home sharing to a new device?

Just as the title says. I don't want to use a USB stick to transfer every single song so that it'll save on my new laptop's iTunes. I think Home Sharing only works at home, right? So if I bring my laptop anywhere, then I don't have any of my music anymore.

Hi Kokomeeps,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You can actually import the music from one iTunes library on a computer to another using Home Sharing and all of your music will actually be located on both machines. Please use the following article as a guide to set up Home Sharing to import your music from one computer to another.

IBooks does not open. It only briefly shows an empty bookcase. I have all my important .pdf reference documents in my library. I was never able to figure out how to backup ibooks. I am afraid to reinstall the apps risking loss of data. Any way to save?

IBooks will not open with new ipad and upgraded iOS. It only opens briefly to show an empty bookcase. I installed the most recent update of iBooks. In apps store it says 'open'. But the same thing happens...a brief flash. Strangely, the image and list of my collection actually shows in miniature with all the open apps; so I can close it as I do any other app.

Now that you have your PDFs on your computer's iTunes library you could try deleting and redownloading the app, and then sync the PDFs back to it - as long as you continue to keep a copy of the PDFs on your computer (and preferably on a backup as well) then if the same thing happens again then you could delete and reinstall again (you shouldn't have any problems with the iBooks app, but then you shouldn't have had a problem this time either).
You could try GoodReader (you could have the most important PDFs in both) - but the current version on iOS 7 isn't getting very good reviews in terms of its speed and crashes (it's description page says that a major update is coming soon).

I have an ipod 5 and im changing my apple id. Is there any way to save all of my music and contacts?

i have an ipod 5 and im changing my apple id. Is there any way to save all of my music and contacts?

Why are you changing your ID?
iTunes/app purchases are locked to the account that purchased them. For some actions like updating apps you have to sign into the account that purchased them. Just changing the ID does not not delete any media from the iPod.
When you delete the iCloud account for the iPod should should be offered the option to leave contacts on the iPod. See:

Any way to update the library automatically?

As amazing as it sounds, I only recently tried Itunes for Windows after using Windows Media Player for years.
Is there any way to have the library update automatically when I download music files to my music folder the way WMP does, without having to import them?

The lack of a watch folder is probably to avoid people setting the download folder of thier PvP program as watched. Anything you purchase from the iTunes music store will go directly into iTunes, anything you rip from CDs using iTunes will also go their automatically. Almost all other purchased music is protected WMA which won't even play in iTunes. So the only songs that won't go directly are the fairly uncommon legal mp3 downloads, and all the illegal ones. (and I know about all the legal FLAC stuff out there, but that will have to be converted as well, since iTunes doesn't support FLAC).

Any way to restore iTunes library from iPod?

I lost a hard drive on my labtop and had to re-install the iPod and iTunes programs after getting a new disk. Now the iTunes library is empty and would not recognize the old iPod and want to erase all its contents. Is there any way to restore the library from iPod to my laptop (a Compaq running Windows XP)? The Apple site says I can reverse sync up to five computers with the songs purchases from iStore, but I can't figure out where are the buttons either on the iTunes or the iPod. For the experts out there please help!

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described for instance also it won't transfer playlists. However if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. Relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

IMovie '08 freezes up...any way to save backup working files?

I'm really frustrated at losing projects and having to spend countless hours rebuilding them. On two separate occasions, iMovie has gotten "stuck" on launch and only shows partial screens and is inoperable. I found a thread where several other people were having this problem also. The remedy for me was removing my projects from the projects folder and then it will launch and operate fine, make new projects and functions normally. However, the original project somehow got corrupted, and when moved back into the projects folder, it freezes up iMovie. All previously uploaded/imported raw events are still available and fine, once I remove the culprit projects.
I have installed all updates for iMovie, iLife '08, and iSupport. I also have removed several strategic preferences and cache files from the library, to no avail. One user reported success at making a new user account, logging in to that account, and copying the iMovie application to the shared folder, then logging back into the primary account and replacing the application. Didn't work for me.
I am wondering if there is any way to save the project files like the older version iMovie HD? That way, I could save a back up copy of the working file somewhere and hopefully be able to use it, in the event that my project becomes corrupt. The project files don't have any extension. In iDVD, you are able to save a project in progress (to any location) and reopen it any time to make edits. In iMovie '08 there is no option to "open" an existing project, only start a new one. This seems very strange to me.
I'm about to give up on iMovie '08, I see that many people are experiencing bugs and I'm tired of having to spend countless hours redoing work.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried them unsuccessfully. No worries, I've resigned to the fact that iMovie '08 is a POS, learned from doing some research, talking with tech support, and reading many other discussions. Why else would they offer a special iMovie 06 HD version for Leopard. Besides, much of the past functionality is now gone.
I've downloaded and will use the HD version until I purchase Final Cut. Users beware, iMovie 08 is sketchy.

My daughter restored her ipod in error, is there any way to get her library back?

My daughter restored her ipod in error, is there any way to get her library back?

It should all still be there in iTunes. Just reload the iPod from your iTunes library. Only the music on the iPod is gone, not the music in the library.
If she was synced with someone else's computer, then she will have to re-load from that computer.
If she bought music directly onto her iPod and never backed it up into iTunes (baaad idea), then she will have to contact Apple customer service for a one-time replacement on the purchases that she had on file.

Is there any way to get music content back after it disappears?

Is there any way to get music content on iPod Touch back after it disappears?

What do you mean by "disappeared?" If you had synced your iPod touch with your computer, iTunes automatically makes a backup of your iPod so you could try restoring from that. The music would then also be in your iTunes Music Library on your computer so you can sync it back to your iPod.

My contacts are organized in different groups. An iPhone trade show app (Vinexpo) displays exhibitors infos and allows to create new contacts. Is there any way to save a new contact in a specified group instead of the contacts root? Thks in advance

My contacts on my iPhone are organized in different groups. I have downloaded a trade show app which gives infos on the exhibitors of the show. It offers to create new contacts from these info. Is there any way to save these new contacts in a specified group instead of putting them into the contacts root, where they are mixed with all the old ones? By the way, can we create a new contacts group directly from the IPhone, without having to go through the sync process with the PC?
Thanks a lot in advance

Sorry, I forgot to bookmark the thread where the app was mentioned, but searching for "group" or "contacts" should bring a few results in the AppStore.

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

I formerly had an iPhone 3 with my iTunes account/music on it. I've recently purchased an iPhone 5s. I no longer have the iPhone 3. Is there any way to retrieve music from my account and put on my iPhone 5s?

Yes. Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy the music in settings on the phone.
Then tap on "purchased" in the iTunes app on the phone and download the music to your new iPhone.
