So confused - itunes/ipod/iphone issues - please help!!!!!
Hi everyone
I'm sure that these questions have been answered before, but having looked around I'm getting more and more confooozed Can you help me?
I have a 30gig ipod with about 4,000 songs on. I have a 2 week old 16g 3G iphone with about 1,000 songs on and a number of bought apps. Both of these devices were synced to itunes on a Sony Vaio laptop running XP. Due to a "falling of the table" incident the Vaio has died!! I have replaced it with a Dell Inspiron running XP Pro.
My girlfriend has an ipod nano with about 1,000 songs on it. She was synced to a separate itunes account on our desktop computer. This computer is about to die too. (yeah 2010 has be a techno-nightmare so far!!)
I have backed up her itunes folder to a jump drive, but previously only backed up my ipod music i.e not the itunes folder just the music subfolder(can't think why??!) to the same jump drive.
Sooooo:-
How do I get my old itunes library back on the Dell??
I enabled Disk Use on my ipod, so can I restore my itunes library from my ipod to the Dell?
How do we run 2 separate ipods and itunes accounts on 1 machine?
Can I sync my iphone on the new machine? If, so will I lose my Outlook contacts etc. and any apps I've bought?
Please help if you can.
Many thanks

ITunes and Quicktime issue (Please Help)
So last night I download the update for iTunes. Everything seemed to be going fine, I didn't have any problems. This morning I turn on my computer and try to run iTunes and it gives me an error message, an dwon't even open iTunes. Not only that, I can't run any Quicktime file, it gives me the same message. I downloaded the installer again and attempted to repair iTunes. It said I was sucessful, but when I tried opening iTunes or Quicktime the error still appeared. This is really frustrating, this is what I get for updating? Someone please help!
you'll probably want to run the standalone quicktime install
also, what is the error message that you are getting?

IPod Connection issue - Please Help...!
I have a strange problem! My iPod does not connect (any more) to Windows (and hence not iTunes). I have seen lots of other people raising this problem, but mine is slightly different. What happens is that when I connect the iPod, it IS initially picked up by Windows (Vista), the computer makes a 'dun 'sound, and if I'm quick, I can see it in the Devices area (under Storage). But then within a second or two there is another 'dun' sound, anmd the iPod disappears. It never gets as far as saying 'unrecognised device'.
Incidentally, the iPod (event though not recogised) does charge up through the USB port, and (incidentally) other devices (e.g. pen drive) work on the port.
Any GURU's out there that can help me. I'm desperate! I need some podcasts!!!
ThanksGo to your "Device Manager" which is under the Hardware tab in System (at least on WinXP). There, you'll probably see the device is having an issue, a yellow "!" or a red "x". First, try updating the driver, if that doesn't fix it ... delete the device from the system. Then restart and reconnect it, let windows automatically install the device again, and it should work again.
I don't know why this happens, but if you look carefully through the forum here, you'll see it seems to be happening quite a bit with Windows XP and Vista. -
I purchased my nano on November 18 and havn't had problems until two days ago. Two days ago, it stopped responding to the clikc wheel, I could only turn it on with menu and when I had to hold and unhold it to turn it off. Yesterday it started working again and I was ecstatic. Everything was going great until it started happening. Now, periodically it will stop responding to teh clickwheel. and I have to press Play at the verry bottom of the wheel, the most bottom part of it I can and that sometimes makes it start working.
I also have version 1.1.
What do you think I can do?
And yes, I've resetted/rstored.its notthe update
here is wats new
1. holding menu will take you to the main menu instead of activating or deactivating the backlight
2. lyrics and album art staying on screen and not disappearing after 10 seconds
3. Apple Radio Remote support
4. Line-out problem, occasionally when going from headphones to line-out, there would be no sound.
5. The 'Alarm' feature has been overhauled, easier to set the time, and a little bell icon is displayed next to the 'Alarm' menu item when it is set.
6. 'Screen-lock' has also been changed, slightly different interface, the numbers are in sunken boxes as opposed to the red glow. And a new warning is given telling you to hook your Nano up to your comp if you forget your code.
7. There was a problem with turning off, if you scrolled back or forward through a playlist/album, back to the main menu, sometimes it would not turn off.
8. The song title is in bold above the lyrics when you go to the lyrics screen
9. itunes opens almost instantly (within a second or 2) with the ipod showing. Before, this used to take 5-10 seconds, maybe more.
10. Reduced lag, before, when scrolling and clicking quickly through menus and songs, had some 'slow down', this is gone now.
11. Before the update I noticed a lag when I would skip songs, the next song would come on but the tags would have a slight lag on them and that has been fixed as well. -
my ipod keeps asking me to restore and when i do restore it just restarts and asks me to connect to itunes and starts again.please help its my sons bday and this is his present
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.
Hey there aussieboss123,
It sounds like you are wanting to download an album that you pre ordered, not all the songs are downloading. First, use this section of the following article to see if the tracks download:
Download a pre-ordered item
When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
iTunes Store: About pre-orders
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5714
If it does not, I would use the following article to report a problem with the purchase to the iTunes Store support directly:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

downloaded itunes 0.6 on my ipod over wifi, however when connected to my computer it would not recognise my ipod and suggested i went to www.itunes .com/uk but could not find or download 6, so now cannot sync my ipod with itunes on my computer, please help cheers.
By wiping both iPhone and iPod and trying syncing with another computer I've come to the conclusion that something with MobileMe sync is the problem.
I can set up both to work fine with my Mac Pro and a new Mac Book Pro as long as I don't set up MobileMe syncing. As soon as I sync with MobileMe I start having problems, particularly with Calendar.
MobileMe seems to work fine computer to computer, until the iPhone/iPod get involved, then the MobileMe copy gets messed up. Version on computer seems to stay ok.
Not sure where to go from here... other than call Apple or go to the Apple Store. -
My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?
The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer". There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone -- you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video. So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS. -
Hi. My itunes library is in current 10.5.2 but my old ipod touch 4th or 3rd gen is not updating at all its still in current 4.2 and there is some apps i cant download that requires a 4.3 update but in my itunes it wont. Please help!
Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod? If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G. If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1.

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -

I purchased an audiobook in Nov 2012 using iPhone 4S and then upgraded to iPhone 5 in Dec. Now I am not seeing the audio book in purchase history in iTunes. This means I am not able to get the book in my new iPhone. Please help.
Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you don't have it on your computer (audiobooks go into the Books part of your iTunes library) nor on a backup, then if it's still in the store you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 and I can't find my audiobooks that I downloaded from a library website. The audiobook tab is visible in iTunes but none of the audiobooks are there. They are on my iPod nano. Please help!
When you say they are displaying in your iTunes library, are you talking about the Audiobooks section of your iTunes library and not the audiobooks section indented under the iPod in the left pane of iTunes under Devices?
Is the iPod Shuffle configured to sync audiobooks or do you manually manage the iPod's contents?

Why is the text on itunes squashed and compacted?
For some reason, all of the text on itunes is very small and overlap each other. Not sure why this happens but it is very annoying and blocks some of the features. The picture is an example of what I mean.
