New Apple ID on iPod and Itunes, will this delete my music?
I bought an iPod with my brother to share but now I am the only one that uses it because he bought his own iPad. My iPod is set up under his apple id and so is the itunes on my computer. I would like to set up the iPad and my itunes under my own apple id to avoid the hasle of constantly asking him for the id and password so i can download apps? Can i do this without having all my music and app on my itunes being deleted?
- Go to settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

I have two 2nd generation iPods and iTunes will no longer let me delete songs (Delete in gray)?
I have two 2nd generation iPods and iTunes will no longer let me delete music from either one. If I select a song, "Delete" is gray in the menu and cannot be selected. What's happened? New iTunes not compatible?
In order to manually remove music from the iPod via iTunes, you need to have the Manually manage music and videos option checked from under each iPod's Summary tab.
See this article for more details.

Repeat One!... developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this!
It’s not an issue I think anyone can help me with but I hope the developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this.
I am a full supporter and user of both iTunes and iPod…. But some things have always bugged me. :P
Repeat one
Can you please, for everyone’s sake, fix the repeat one function? Yes, when the ipod gets to the end of the song I want it to repeat the song ones more. But when I select next (>>) I’m sick of the song and wound like the next one. But instead it just starts over on the same track.
Today I have to click menu, scroll down and select play on the next song to move forward… meaning I actually have to take the iPod out of my pocket and see what I’m doing.
iTunes music library.
Another thing which would have been practical in these holiday times would be a separate music library function for iTunes. In other words be able to select, load and save different library for different usages.
Why you say?....
1.I don’t need my holyday Christmas songs clogging up my library in the summer.
2.When I do sound work for animations I like to have my sound FX and background music outside of my music list.
3.Some people are, (believe it or not), ashamed of some of their music and would like to store theme where no one can se them. Say I invite the boys over for some iron maiden and they end up finding my backstreet boys album. (yikes)
4.Say you have some very privet videos or sound books you don’t want your kids to here or see.
5.When I need background music for some tabletop role-playing I wand them in a separate list as well.
6.ETC
And before you say it… NO… play lists, and do not include in shuffle isn’t the solution…. neither is users. Have you even seen how terrible Microsoft user system works? (Yes I know get a MAC, but you can’t always play that card.)
This function really shouldn’t be difficult to make since you have the “iTunes Library.itl” file already.
This is just my opinion so fare, but if anyone agrees or disagrees; Pleas post a reply.
It’s all in good fun… As I said, I love my iPod and iTunes except for these issues. (Well I could talk about volume but… naaa, enough badgering for one night :P)

If you update to the newer version of itunes, will it delete the music i already have???
can somebody help me please?? if i update to the new version of itunes, will it delete the music i already have??
No it will not.
The music is yours on your drive, only you, or malware or a drive crash, can delete that data.
pLeAsE make backups of your valuable data.
Apple makes it's easy in iTunes, File > Library > Backup to Disk Feed it DVD-R's label and data, or use a external drive.
Apple doesn't reinssue downloads. The music is yours you bought it. -

Question re: email from Apple: "Welcome to iPod and iTunes."
I was curious as to why, when I received my "Welcome to iPod and iTunes" email (after registering my Ipod Nano), the email shows 3 different serial numbers...
I only bought 1.
Just wondering...You can check your Junk/Spam folders, sometimes the e-mail gets sent there. Also, double check that the primary e-mail address in your Apple ID account is hers. If none of this works, I suggest to wait it out, sometimes it can take up to 24 hours!

Had to get a new hard drive, of course lost all my music in itunes. If I sync my ipod to itunes now will I lose my music on my ipod?
Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software to copy over. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

I need to back up my iphone 5s on my old PC running Windows Vista SP2. After installing the proper iTunes that would run on Vista, I get an error as follows;
"Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes and install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2)"
I will appreciate any help. ThanksWith the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
My ipod and itunes is no longer showing the music videos i purchased..
im pretty new with ipods and my ipod and itunes arent showing the two music videos i had on there. Even the songs that went with the music videos are no longer on the itunes or my ipod. how do i fix this?
60 gb video Windows XP- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

"An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library."
I used to use my desktop computer for all my iPod and iTunes needs, but it's Windows XP so I no longer use it. I now have a Windows 8.1 laptop which I want to use for my iPod. Photos can be backed up but I have a lot of game progress and iMessages that I don't want to lose.You will lose your app data unless you backup to the new computer and then restore from backup will all the app in the iTunes library of the new computer.

Try this:
1. Sync to your Windows XP desktop so you do not lose anything.

4. Connect iPod to Windows 8.1 laptop, erase and re-sync.
5. You lose nothing.

earlier my itunes told me that my files were corrupted and I needed to restore, so I did. In the middle of the restore I lost internet connection. Now my computer and Itunes will not recognize my Ipod and if it is not plugged in when I turn the Ipod on it only shows the apple logo then shuts off after 30 seconds. If it is plugged in it will charge, but Itunes and Windows will not recognize it. I have tried the menu + select shutoff multiple times with no change. All it will say while it is charging is do not disconnect.
The clicking sound is your iPod Hardisk, trying to retract and find the boot sector unsuccesfully.
Hopefully, you can do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as in this great post by tt2., it wont fix your problem, but let you know, how dire is your Hardisk health.
So only as a last resort, one way, to get the stuck Hardisk head free, is to bang the iPod on a rubber mouse pad, when you reset it, but do it at your own risk, some very lucky guys got it working again for the next 14 months, like myself. -
Reloading ipod and itunes on a new computer
I am trying to reload ipod and itunes on a new computer I recently bought. Because of disc management issues, I had these on an external drive (assigned the letter "F") on my old system. The letter "F" is assigned to a disc drive on my new computer. Every time I try to load ipod or itunes, the installer sequence tells me there is no available memory on drive F of the new machine (true enough), but will not let me re assign to a new drive.
suggestions on how to resolve this?
many thanks. BillDownloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I have moved from the UK to New Zealand and Itunes will not accept my new Zealand bank details, I am trying to change my details on the Iphone 4s
Do you have a new Apple ID to use in NZ? If not open iTunes Store. Log out of your old Apple ID, then try to login. Select Create Apple ID from the dialog that appears. Make a new Apple ID for NZ with a NZ email address. Once that is approved and verified, log into the iTunes Store with the new Apple ID. This should fix all other issues.
