Restored Laptop. Now iTunes tells me iTouch is tied to another account?

Basically, I plug in the iTouch and iTunes says it is tied to another account. I can transfer data from the other account OR erase all data from the iTouch etc etc.
I have done BOTH and still am being told it is ties to another account. I don't care if I lose everything, I have the data backed up on a remote drive.
Any help is MUCH appreciated.
Thanks, CJ

Solved.
Set up a call back form with the support staff. Walked me thru the fix..

  • Updated Ipod 4th Gen to IOS 6 but now Itunes tells me to restore Ipod and that data could be lost should i restore, it will not let me do anything until i restore

    I have an Ipod 4th Generation just now updated to IOS 6 thru Itunes, says update complete but now it tells me to restore the Ipod and data would be lost. I can not do anything till I restore Ipod and I am worried about losing games, music and other apps. Do I restore Ipod and will I lose games and music?

    Do you have a current backup of the content of your iPod? If not restoring will remove Apps and their data. The Apps can be replaced at no charge but the data will be lost.
    What is the exact message that you are seeing?

  • Changed laptops, now iTunes can't find my music on my file server

    Ok, here's what happened when I recently switched laptops
    - I use iTunes to point to the music I store on my file server via a network share (WinXP)
    - I manually manage my iTunes folders
    - I took the \My Documents\My Music\iTunes directory from my old laptop and copied it to the same location to my new laptop
    - Installed iTunes 9 on the new laptop
    - When iTunes9 loaded on the new laptop ALMOST all music files in my library loaded with an exclamation point indicating that it couldn't locate the file (even though the file locations never changed)
    Ok... so here's the problem. I have over 20,000 songs with ratings information and if I just re-add all the files from the network share to the iTunes library again then it looks like I'd lose those ratings.
    The only way that I can see to fix things is to individually point iTunes to the network share location of the file for each file... YUCK!
    Is there a script or something I can write to tell it to find these files, or at least copy the ID3 tags to the duplicated songs that I re-added from the network share.
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

    Something is different in the paths to the files....hence itunes cannot find them.
    Sound like you know about the ITL file, which is why you copied it over.
    What you can do is look in its companion XML file to see the paths itunes thinks it should be using.
    If your XML is really big, open it using WordPad instead of NotePad. About the 10th line down is the itunes preference setting for the itunes folder:
    key>Music Folder</key><string>file://localhost/K:/iTunes%20Music/</string>
    On my system it's K:/iTunes Music
    The %20 just indicates a space.
    Then each song will have its own path
    <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/K:/iTunes%20Music/Cowboy%20Junkies/The%20Trinity%20Session/07%2 0200%20More%20Miles.mp3</string>
    Now....can you see ANYTHING funny in one of those song paths?Is there an extra space, a different user name, anything different than what you could browse to in Windows Explorer?

  • Itunes says it is already associated with another account on ipad2 when i only have one account

    I am trying to get my ipad2 to download purchases previously made from itunes. If i go to settings store and slide the automatic downloads for music to on, it says that this device is associated with another account and cannot be changed for 90 days,  i only have one itunes account and these settings are saved underneath. Any ideas?

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Restored ipod, now itunes won't recognize.

    I recently restored my ipod back to the way it was when I bought it. I try to update the software for it and nothing happens; I am unable to click on the update button. Plus, when I open itunes, it doesn't even detect that my ipod is plugged in. What am I doing wrong? I need help.

    Me too. Have tried to restore iPod as had been getting exclamation mark with file. It wiped all tunes off it before I tried to restore so I had nothing to lose. Now in disk utility, the repair procedure is indicating that the volume needs to be repaired but it cannot do it. It won't mount on either desk top or in iTunes. This is a 2nd generation iPod and surely should have lasted longer than 3 years. Apparently to repair it costs £169!!!!

  • I updated the software of my iPhone 4s, but now iTunes says my computer is synced with another device, even after I click "restore from backup."

    I've selected the "restore from backup" button numerous times, but iTunes continues to give me the message, "This computer has previously been synced with another device." It then gives me the option to set up as a new phone or restore from backup. I want to put my music and apps back onto my phone! How can I get my computer to recognize my phone again?

    I found this article some time ago when I was trying to help someone else in this same situation. This is a copy and paste from the website. The website is provided below for you to read before you try this.
    Plug your phone into iTunes
    Click setup as a new device
    Immediately unplug your phone from the computer
    Give it about 30 seconds and iTunes will give a message (I don’t remember the specific, but regarding you unplugging the device and it not completing)
    Plug your phone back in
    Viola! no restore occurred and you can access everything again
    This computer has previously synced with an iPhone or another iOS device.

  • I just bought a new computer, now itunes tells me I can only sync with one computer.  It only offers me the choice to erase and sync.  I do not want to erase my ipod, I just want my music on the new computer.  Can't I just transfer the songs from the ipod

    I just bought a new computer.  Itunes only offers me the option of erase and sync, as I can only have it sync'd with one computer.  I want to move my music to this computer from my ipod.  Is this possible, or do I have to go back to my cds and upload everything from there?  I just want to be able to move my music from my ipod to the new computer.

    You need to transfer your iTunes Library from the old computer to the new one - then you can carry on syncing as normal. You can't move non-purchased music from an iPod to iTunes using iTunes. For purchased music, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases...

  • My friend wants to put music on their iPhone 5C but they do not have a laptop with iTunes that hasn't been associated with another iPhone/iPod. Is there any way they can skip linking their phone to the iTunes and JUST get the music?

    The iPhone has not been associated with any iTunes as I was a little scard to connect it to mine as I do not want all my friend's apps on my phone. Also, we use different apple IDs so would we be able to have two apple IDs associated with one computer?
    SO CONFUSED.
    Please help!

    Your friend can get a new Apple Id for themselves, and create a different account on one of the laptops. Then put all their music in a separate iTunes library, and sync the phone to that particular library.
    This will keep there music separate from your library and their brother's library.
    Just make another User on your computer for your friend to store their music in.

  • ITunes Library not seen - Sharing Library with another account on same Mac

    I have a done a search and tried some of the suggestions, but it doesn't appear to be working.
    Background:
    Had iTunes on a Windows machine.
    Purchased about 60 tunes
    Ripped all my CDs into the library
    Bought an iBook
    Purchased about 30 tunes on the iBook
    Used the Network to copy the Music files to the iBook
    iBook appears to have everything
    Bought at 17" iMac - did a Target Disk transfer from iBook
    Reformatted 17" and traded it in for 20" iMac
    Did a Target Disk transfer from iBook to new 20"
    Under my account on the iMac, I can see/use my entire library. Per suggestions here, I moved the iTunes Music folder to my Public diretory so that my wife could see the library too. When I loaded iTunes on my wife's account and did an Add to Library the only thing that shows up in her library is the 30 tunes I purchased using the iBook.
    I have both accounts setup to point to the Public directory.
    How do I make this work??
    Also, I really only want one library to be shared between both of our accounts on both machines, but I do want the ability to take the library with me when I go mobile with the iBook. Is this possible?

    I read the referenced thread and although the person got the desired results, I see two problems with the method they used. It sounds like they simply mad another copy of the library on the hard drive. First, this wastes disk space as you now have to copies of every song on the hard drive. Second, whenever music is added to either of the libraries, the other library will not see it and be out of "sync" unless you manually copy the new songs to the other directory.
    I am looking for a solution in which their is only one central library.
    Thanks

  • When I connect my ipod to my computer, Itunes tells me the ipod is synced to another account.  I only have one account.  My only account is blank now.  I'm not sure what is going on but I don't want to plug in my iphone or ipad now.

    I need help to sync my ipod.  When connected to my computer, itunes tells me it is synced to another account.  I only have one account.  I had tons of stuff stored on itunes, now my itunes account is blank.  I fear connecting my iphone or ipad now.  I would like to use my itunes to download movies and shows to my ipad2' but I'm not sure I want to risk it.  I have signed onto my husband's computer and tried to assess my itunes account but get the same result!  Help!

    " I had tons of stuff stored on itunes, now my itunes account is blank."
    How did this happen?
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
    You can sync iphone/ipad to one and only one itunes library at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the iphone.
