PLEASE APPLE, GIVE US SYNCING VIA ITUNES BACK!!!!!! Why take away one of the most valuable features of iTunes???? Why take away our choice of syncing via the Cloud or locally with iTunes????

DO NOT UPGRADE TO MAVERICK UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE DEPENDED ON APPLE’S CLOUD. It removes the ability to sync Calendar, Notepad, and Contacts between your apple devices. You then can only sync them via Apple’s Cloud. For those of you like me, that do not want to be depended on an external data base accessible via the Internet or Cel Phone (with data charges).
Why do I not want to use the Cloud to sync and backup?
1. I found I only have one device with me at a time or am sitting at a computer when I add to my calendar, make a note, or add/change a Contact. Syncing with iTunes while upgrading apps and doing a back up to two external hard drives worked great and met my needs.
2. I use WiFi and pay for the minimum data plan with my Cel provider (AT&T). I do not want to pay higher monthly data fees.
3. I do not like a central data base (that will be hacked someday) having the personal info I have in my Notes, Schedule, and Contacts.
4. I like the security of my most important data being on my own hard drives and written off to Data DVD’s, not subject to even rare central system outages/failures.
5. I do not like the prospect of becoming dependent on a Cloud in which the provider could decide at any time to either start selling information or charging monthly fees to recover the costs of providing the cloud.
I am reluctant to go to the trouble to go back to 10.8 because Apple will eventual stop providing updates to 10.8 and 10.8 compatible applications.

You will need to contact Apple through their feedfack channel. These are user to user forums, sorry.

Who are you to disable Norton Toolbar in FF4 -- without warning??!!! That's one of my most valuable tools. And why I'm back on 3.16. Firefox is great, but you created a basket of snakes for yourselves!

The "details" are self evident. You made an arbitrary decision to dump Norton Toolbar. For what reason? It's the most useful thing in my toolbox, except Firefox itself. Explain yourselves.
One Mad Customer...!

My apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. can't restore.

my apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. the only way to unfreeze it is by detatching the ipod or resetting with menu/centre (until it loads up again, where it immediately unfreezes and comes up with a load of messages saying "cannot read iPod" and when i try and restore it by pressing menu/centre button while it's plugged in, it says "cannot restore as it is being used by another program" or "error 1415". Any ideas how to sort this out? hope i haven't majorly screwed it up. thanks.

Sorted it out.

HT4623 The "Software Update" feature is not available in my Ipod 2nd Generation unit while the upgrade option in iTunes keeps on hanging while downloading the upgrade iOS (time out error). So, please tell me how I can upgrade the iOS.

Try disabling the computer's security software during the download and update.

I would like to change my back ground color in one frame for a logo that i am using I am able to change it on the canvas but not on the timeline?

Are you using FCPX? It doesn't have a canvas. Do you really mean one frame, like 1/30th of a second? Add a custom generator underneath the logo. Make it whatever color you want. Make it however short you want.

Ipod Classic 160 6th g. doesn't sync w/Imac g5 non intel OS 10.4.11. This is a replacement for same ipod which was stolen recently. That pod worked fine with Itunes 9! Now this pod says it only works with Itunes 10.7. ***!!!! Why has Apple screwed up?

My ipod classic 160 6th gen. was recently stolen. It had 3000 tunes on it and it synced perfectly with Itunes 9 on my Imac G5 non intel OS 10.4.11. So I recently bought same model and guess what, it doesn't sync at all. Now message says it only works with Itunes 10.7 and up. I certainly cant afford to buy a new intel based Mac and I really dont need a new pc. It feels like Apple has dropped the ball on its long time users and tough luck to you and all the $$$$$$$ spent on downloading songs and buying ipods over the years! I AM SO ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BRING MY MUSIC WITH ME ANYMORE. I dont know if there is any solution to this except being extorted to upgrade to new tech! I have been trying to get answers to this issue but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a tech genius so extremely techy solutions will be in vane.

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?

Since I downloaded the most recent version of iOS, my iPad and iPhone do not have all the music (from CD's) anymore that I have on our home computer iTunes Library. How can I get all our music onto the music libraries on the iPhone and iPad? Thanks!

Hi
Since we downloaded the latest version of iOS on our iPad and iPhone, and synchronized our music collection in the Cloud, we can no longer see on our iPad and iPhone the music from our CD's that we have on our home computer's iTunes library. We can only see music in the iPhone and iPad library that have been purchased on iTunes. How can we get all our music from our computer's iTunes librbary visible on the iPhone and iPad? Thanks, Nick

Resync from your computer.
iOS: Syncing with iTunes - Support - Apple
If your having trouble syncing, come back and let us (fellow users) know.

PLEASE APPLE - Give us Expandable Memory in iPhone

I would LOVE to be able to have only 1 device to serve the purposes of phone, music and camera. But, I'm a music junkie and have SO much more than 32GB of music to put on an iPhone. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us the ability to add memory to the next iPhone generation...

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for Apple to do this. Apple hasn't done so with any iPod in the history of the iPod, so I doubt this is likely with the iPhone.
I currently have "only" 834 songs available on my iPhone. To listen to every song straight through, it would take me 2&1/2 days to listen to each song once - that is 2&1/2 - 24 hour days with "only" 823 songs. There are many iPod owners that have more songs in their iTunes library that will fit on their iPod and/or iPhone that have survived by making use of iTunes playlists and/or with smart playlists.

Why can't I get my icloud account to register my new email on my iPad. I have managed to change it with iTunes and Apple.

I bought an iPad and opened up an iCloud account now iCloud won't register my new email address on my iPad! Why?

Okay, got it working!
My process was pretty straightforward (of course, everything is, in hindsight):
(1) Go to my user library folder
(2) Do a spotlight search for the word "mail"
(3) Delete something that looks like it might be related to/possibly interfering with Mail's operation
(4) Try Mail
I repeated the above process a couple of times and poof, Mail started to add my accounts! First, my Gmail account, and then, after disabling and re-enabling my iCloud account inside System Preferences > iCloud, my iCloud account too!
The file I believe was the lynchpin was located here:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail
Give that a shot if you can't get your iCloud/Gmail email to show up in Apple Mail 7.1 (1827) under OS X 10.9.1, despite the accounts seemingly adding succesfully in System Preferences.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This may delete mail you have stored locally, so please do not attempt if you store your email locally (i.e. POP email setups). I think for IMAP setups (e.g. iCloud & Gmail) this is just deleting the cached versions of the emails, so they'll just get rebuilt once the email is downloaded from the server again.

How do I get itunes back once ive delted one of the sub files ?

i accidentally deleted one of the sub files of itunes, and when I followed the steps on the apple website I could delete all the programmes apart from bonjour and itunes. a message comes when when I press uninstall a message comes up saying "
the installation source for this product is not available. verify that the source exists and that you can access it" well I don't know what that means and where to find it, please help.

You've just described how Airplay works!

Will apple give me my 20 dollars back for a apple remote.

See I lost my apple tv remote and then I bought a new the I found the original one. Now I have two remotes and I don't have a mac. I'm just really mad that I wasted 20 bucks. The remote is in great condition and is fully funtoinal but I don't have a receipt.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, I don't think it's likely without a receipt.

I downloaded the new iOS software on my iPod touch 4th gen. Now it's saying connect to computer with iTunes, I only have a iPad I don't have a laptop is there any way to bypass this

I Downloaded the new iOS software on my iPod touch now when I turn it on it has a USB cord and says connect to computer and iTunes, well the only other

No. You have to connect the iPod to a computer and restore via iTunes.
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Find a friend or go to an Apple store.

HT4902 If you have 2 devices and not all the contacts are on both devices, will the 2 lists be merged upon moving or will one source dominate in the cloud? Same with iTunes lists. Due to a loss when moving to Lion, I haven't synched for fear of losing con

If one has 2 devices that are ready for the move to the cloud and they don't share an identical contact list, iTunes collection, or calendar items, which device will dominate with respect to that info?
Will all contacts from both devices merge into one big list? Is there a way to do it? This is what I'm hoping for because in the move to Lion, my hard drive needed to be wiped and much was lost but which remains on the iPhone. In past synchings of the iPhone to the Mac Pro, I always seem to lose something in iTunes, Calendars and Contacts. I've checked settings and cannot find a reason that the two devices arrange to do this but if anyone has any ideas, I'd very much appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Your profile states that you are using OS X 10.6.8, whereas you will require OS X10.7.2 or better in order to use iCloud. You will need to update to lion in order to use iCloud with your Mac.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
In respect of contacts and calendars, when you enable synchronisation from your settings, you will be offered the opportunity to merge your information.

Ipod Touch 4g will no longer sync with iTunes - help!!!

I have an iPod Touch 4 and am using the latest version of iTunes 11.0.2.26 but can no longer get my ipod to sync with itunes. When I click on Sync I get the message 'waiting for changes to be applied' then 'finished' but it does not sync. I have completely restored my ipod and have uninstalled iTunes, Apple Update, Quicktime, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support before reinstalling iTunes. All my music in iTunes is from my own library rather than purchased from iTunes. It all used to work fine and I feel I've exhausted all my knowledge in fixing this and need some assistance. Can anyone help?

Seems like you've tried the most important steps in troubleshooting, so that's good.
What I'm wondering is: when you deinstalled iTunes and all those other things, did you do it in a specific order, according to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 for windows Vista/windows 7 or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 for windows XP ? I don't see Apple Application Support in the list of components you deleted. I would recommend removing everything again in the specific order using the article you need and trying again to sync.
Also: try creating another user account on your computer and syncing again, because sometimes software issues are user-wide.
hope this helps, keep me posted
Stijn
