Reset the iTunes parameter to sync to correct data drive

In Win 7, I "relettered" my drive containing Outlook data from "J" to "M".
Now my iPhone4 using iOS 4.3.5 won't sync with my Outlook data.
How can I reset the iTunes parameter which will sync my phone to the correct drive?
Thanks,
Peter

Read virtualgeo's post in this thread. This is very similar to what you have done - i.e.- a new hard drive. If you go through these steps you should be OK. As King Penguin stated you can always download the apps again for free and the music as well if you are in the U.S. But this post should get you going again.
Remember that once you have all of your content back in iTunes - even if iTunes "erases" your iPad, you can select the content that iTunes erases - and then sync again to get the content back on your computer.

Remember this though - you must transfer your purchases and backup before restoring or syncing. Read the post and you will see what I mean.

All of a sudden, my ipod touch will only recognize/play purchased items. I then have to completely reset the ipod and re-sync. I've had to do this 6 times, and support has been no help.

So you also rebooted your router correct? Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

The results show that you have a proxy server set and this can often cause problems with iTunes.
The proxy setting can be accessed in Internet options>>Connections>>LAN Settings.
Try un-checking the proxy server check box.
It might also be a good idea to run a malware check if you didn't know you had the proxy server set.

Resetting the iTunes Library in iMovie HD Jan. 2006

Does anyone know how to reset the iTunes Library in iMovie?
I have manually deleted tracks in iTunes .. which are not visible in any playlist or the library, but they are visible in iMovie's audio tab wher the iTunes Library exists.
I tried deleting some of the ".plist" .. but I didn't want to erase any iTunes plist in fear of losing my playlists.
I looked at "Doug's iTunes AppleScripts" and found nothing that would help..
Any thought?

I'd say that quitting iMovie and relaunching it ought to do it. If not, quit and restart iTunes as well. That should force it to update all of its stuff.

I'm not sure I understand the question

A fix for the iTunes -- iPhone indefinite sync bug

Moderators feel free to move this to the appropriate place. I was having this problem for a while now. I'd connect my iphone and it would sync forever. I'd have to manually abort the sync. This led to stuff never actually syncing, and music disappearing from my iPhone. I did some Googling and came up with some solutions, and I tried one myself and it worked perfectly.
1. In iTunes, go to preferences, then go to Devices. Make sure the box is checked, that says "Prevent iPhones, iPods, and iPads from syncing automatically. Press OK.
2. If your iDevice is already connected, and already "infinitely syncing" you will have to manually stop the sync at this time. If not, connect your iDevice.
3. Still in iTunes, click on your device in the left-hand column, and go to the Music tab.
4. Uncheck the big box at the top that says "Sync Music"
5. Click the "Apply" button in the lower right-hand corner.
6. WAIT PATIENTLY. This will take a VERY long time. It WILL look like it is still hanging indefinitely, but I promise you, it is not. It took about 30 minutes for me, and the entire time it said "Finishing Sync." I thought it wasn't even going to work, but eventually, I noticed it started updating Podcasts, and a bunch of other stuff, presumably accumulated changes over the duration of this bug. I think at this time it is also file-checking your entire iDevice, presumably because of all those times you had to manually interrupt the synchronization.
7. After the iPhone fully completes its sync, Re-check the "Sync Music" box, and click Apply again. For best results, just pick your 1 or 2 favorite playlists to sync right now, then later tonight you can sync back your entire library, and leave it to sync as you watch TV or eat dinnner or what not... don't force yourself to sit through syncing thousands of songs if you don't have to, lol.
It is working for me after following these steps. I have NOT tried setting iTunes back to automatic syncs (undoing Step #1). I'd imagine that doing so will re-trigger the bug. You're welcome to try, and I will maybe try tonight when I am free, but for now, I'm actually late for class, but I really wanted to share this because I know this is a pretty big issue, especially if you love music like I do.

Backup, restore as a new device, restore your backup.

I am unable to download an album from the itunes library when syncing from my pc.

I am unable to load an album on to my iphone from the itunes library on my pc when syncing.

Hi there,
Have you managed to get this right? I'm having the same problem. It's not a new album, it's been on my iPod before.
iTunes 10 is what I have and my iPod Touch4's got IOS 6.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Roger, Many thanks I found the authorization section activated it and it was confirmed by itunes. But then I encountered another problem as attempting to sync my computer to my ipad i still received the same notification that it was not authorized so I really would not know how to rectify that so any assistance would be appreciated,
Thanks John
I was under the impression that once you had authorised the computer, transferring purchased and other songs to your iPod/iPad wasa then straightforward. However it gets more complicated with apps, and as I don't have an iOS device I can't advise. You've actually asked in the forum for questions about these forums, and you would do better to ask in the iPad forum, where people who actually have these toys hang out.

Why can I not get to the iTunes store or sync my iPod Touch?

I am not able to sync my iPod or go to the iTunes store at all. I have turned off my firewall and my anti-virus and still can't do either. So it is obviously a problem with iTunes does anyone have any ideas for me to try? I am just frustrated that this won't work because its the program I use the most.

Looks like there's a general problem across the US and UK at Apple's end. I've not been able to connect since this morning and there are loads of threads on here about the same issue.

Need help resetting the SESSIONS parameter

Hi Folks,
Environment: Oracle 10g Rel 2
I am trying to reduce the number of sessions to the database as follows
*# Snap shot of existing values*
show parameters session;
show parameters processes;
show parameters transactions;
sessions     integer 170
processes    integer 150
transactions integer 187*# Modifying the SESSION parameter value*
alter system set sessions=3 scope=spfile;*# Bounce the instance*
shutdown immediate; *# Startup the instance*
startup;*# Verify if the new value took effect*
show parameters session;
Output: sessions integer     170*# Check if the new value exists in spfile*
select NAME||','||VALUE||','||DISPLAY_VALUE||','||ISSPECIFIED
from v$spparameter
where NAME like 'session%'
Output: sessions,3,3,TRUE*# Verify, if the database was started with the spfile*
SELECT DECODE(value, NULL, 'PFILE', 'SPFILE') "Init File Type"
       FROM sys.v_$parameter WHERE name = 'spfile'
Output:
Init F
SPFILEAny ideas as to why the SESSIONS parameter would not take effect?
Thanks in advance

The sessions parameter is derived from the processes parameter, and in most cases there should be no reason to set it, and leave it untouched.
Setting sessions to 3 is utterly, utterly silly as the background processes count as sessions too.
This might be another reason why Oracle fortunately choose to ignore your change.
You should spend some more time on reading documentation, to avoid new attempts to wreck Oracle and create more havoc.

Itunes cannot see the itunes music folder on my external hard drive

I recently put all of my music on an external hard drive to free up space on my computer,
However, when I am in itunes and trying to point the library to the music folder, itunes still cannot see it. Instead all it can see is the E drive WD Passport, and folders named autorun, WD Sync Data Wd Windows Tools.
Can anyone tell me how I can see my itunes music folder on my external hard drive while I am in preferences, advanced, library location, change??

I don't know enough about iTunes for Windows to help you with this. But if you post your question in the Using iTunes for Windows forum you will get help from people who know more about this.

Is the iTunes U Administration Guide out of date? Info on private sites needed

Am I missing something or is the iTunes U AdministrationGuide out of date?
http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc//iTunesUAdministrationGuide/Introduction/chapte r_1_section_1.html
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes_u/
It seems to refer to the ‘old’ iTunes U instead of the new public site manager. I must admit I find the iTunes U documentation quite consfusing and unitiuative. The web layout of the PSM and Admin guide in particular is very poor.
I was looking for some information on iTunes U private sites, specifically how they differ from public sites and how to go about setting one up, but I can’t seem to find any information at all in the iTunes U documentation. Could someone point in the right direction?
Thanks

No, my understanding is that it's for all the channels.
Thanks

Before I restore my iTunes backup do I need to delete the iTunes folder that is on my hard drive

I did a complete reinstall of Mountain Lion. Before I did so I followed the instructions to backup my iTunes to an external harddrive. I want to put my iTunes library back onto my MacBook Pro hard drive. There is an iTunes folder on my hard drive after my fresh install. Do I need to delete that prior to dragging the backed up version back onto my hard drive? Thanks in advance.

What instructions?
Just copy the entire /iTunes/ folder to /Music/ on your computer.

FYI: Do you know you can do a complete reinstall of Mountain Lion without deleting any user data?
Also, you should ahve done a full backup of your entire drive then use Migration Assistant to pull in the user accounts (or what you needed/wanted).
