Putting music on iPod Touch from a computer other than the main one

Is it possible to put music from my mac on to my friend's iPod touch without ruining her contacts and/or deleting the music she already has on there. Also, she uses a PC to sync her iPod normally. Should this be a problem?
Also, can I not put on my photos, contacts and iCal events?

You can view and listen to your music library from another computer with Home Sharing turned on.  To turn on Home Sharing in iTunes, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing for both computers.  This is for iTunes 11.  If you are running an older iTunes, go to Advanced > Turn on Home Sharing.

  • How do I get an iPod touch to turn on other than the normal way. It has been dropped and all I can get is a blank screen. Have tried holding the HOME button down for 30 sec. but that didn't work.

    How does one get an iPod nano to turn on other than the "normal" way? This one has been dropped and all I can get is a blank screen. I have tried holding down the HOME button to restart it but no go. When I connect it to my computer, I am told to enter the PASSCODE which I cannot do as there is no touchpad.

    Your topic refers to an iPod touch
    Then you say:  How does one get an iPod nano to turn on ......
    If it's an iPod touch, try a reset.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, whether it's an iPod nano or touch, it probably needs service >  Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

  • MacPro wont boot from any disk other than the main HD

    Hi all,
    I want to startup my MacPro from a different drive other than the main (original) Macintosh HD, so I can do maintenance and for emergencies.
    However, I cannot startup from a DVD. Not DiskWarrior, or even the retail Snow Leopard disk.
    I attempted to install the OS on another internal drive, but the intallation seemed to fail (the disk I tried to install onto was Mac OS Extended, Case-sensitive, Journaled, but there were no complaints from the installer.)
    So even though my computer runs OK, and I can continue doing work etc, I am unable to do the maintenance that I believe it needs.
    I have tried to:
    • Run the updated DiskWarrior DVD
    • Run the SL instal DVD
    • Taken all the extra wires/drives out of the back of the computer
    • Attempted to install the OS onto a second internal drive
    I have not:
    • Zapped the PRAM yet.
    • Run the computer in target disk mode and worked on it from my MacBook
    • Run the MacBook in target mode to use its DVD drive.
    This problem has come up before on this machine. I can't remember what the problem was, other than I used to run the MacPro on its side. No longer. Not for the last few months.
    Anybody come across this before? Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    You could use CCC to do a trimmed down clone and leave out most of the sub folders. Do a 2nd clone to have a full working copy.

    My guess is one of your drives needs to be reinitialized. Only during format will the hidden partition blocks be tested, and of course a healthy set of partitions created, things that cannot be repaired normally - though Lion Recovery partition does have abilty to check the health of partition tables. And about the only reason I'd even buy Lion!
    Check partition table health in Lion's Disk Utility

  • Updating iPhone software from a computer other than the one it is synched

    I am going to be traveling without the PC my iPhone is synched with. If a software release comes out, can I update it from another computer somewhere else and not lose my data?

    Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it.
    You can install a firmware update without syncing - unless the update is a major one that requires the iPhone being deleted first before the update is installed - as with 2.0 over 1.1.x.
    And if something goes wrong with the install, you may be left with an updated iPhone but without any data.
    I would wait until returning home to use the computer that you sync your iPhone with since there is always the possibility that something goes wrong with the installation. This has never happened to me with any firmware update, but I still wouldn't use another computer.

  • How do I sync my iPhone 4s with a different computer other than the original one that I used initally?

    How do I change computers for syncing my iPhone 4s?  The original laptop that I used to sync with died and I can not get my iPhone to sync with my desktop.

    can't if you do not have access to the old library (the usual workaround is to backup the old library and import it to the new itunes)
    for important data...
    sync your existing contacts with icloud, your text messages will not be disrupted, music will sync with whatever music you have on your new itunes, photos shoud still be in the camera roll (I would sync them to photostream before you sync, just in case).   Any photos on your phone that are not in camera roll or photostream... if you lost those pictures with the computer crash I would take screen shots (lock button + home button at the same time) of each photo so they show up in the camera roll.  App data may or may not be lost.  In my experience, it depends on the app.  Some of the apps recognize your apple ID and sync data over the internet with servers, some do not.  I would take note of important data (such as passwords in a password keeper if you have such an app) just in case if you lose that data.

  • How do i uninstall an ipod touch from my computer?

    How do i unistall my ipod touch from my computer? It is my sons and he would like to now put it on his own computer

    All you have to do is not connect the iPod to your computer.
    If he has his own Apple ID/iTunes account you can delete any media purchased with his account from your iTunes libary.
    Unauthorize his account from your computer.
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    Delete the backup of his iPod from your computer: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

  • I have 2 iPod touchs and 1 computer. It will reconize one but not the other. How do I get it to sync music on both

    I have 2 older iPod touches and 1 computer. It will reconize one but not the other. How do I sync music on both?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • How do i deactivate my ipod touch from my computer it got stolen

    How do i deactivate my ipod touch from my computer it got stolen and has personal info on it

    - If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - Report to police and change the passwords fro all accounts used on the iPod.
    - Apple will not help
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    There is no way to prevent some one for restoring the iPod and using it themselves./selling it.

  • We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

    I bought my ipod touch from usa...and the wifi does not connect.does it have something to do with that its not from india?

    So you have tried connecting to open network that do not require a password and it was still unable to connect?  If that is the case.
    Does Wifi appear grayed out on your iPod via Settings -> Wi-fi?

  • Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer? I usually sync to my tower at home, but only have access to my laptop now. My laptop is authorized to the same iTunes account as the tower. If I do a software update for the iPhone on the laptop's copy of iTunes, will it wipe away my music that isn't from the iTunes store, etc?
    Thanks,
    Will

    Yes, but all your data will be replaced by whatever is on this other computer. So if you don't want that to happen wait and install on the computer with which the device is normally synced.

  • TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

    I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems.  I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
    I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
    Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
    When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
    I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
    But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally.  So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
    If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens.  If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
    Any idea how I can clear that message?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Further info on my question above.
    I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some. 
    I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
    Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

  • Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

    mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
    i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
    in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.

  • Can I use Apple store from a country other than the country I live in.  Example:  I live in USA and want to use Apple store in Thailand to buy and download thai content.

    Can I use Apple store from a country other than the country I live in.  Example:  I live in USA and want to use Apple store in Thailand to buy and download thai content.

    No, you can only buy content from your own country's store - to be able to buy form another store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that the content that you want be added to the US store, but ultimately it's the content providers (record companies, film studios etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
