Started with iPod/iTunes (home pc) several years ago. Added iPhone, iPad, laptop and office pc. Have multiple iTunes/iMusic folders
Started out with iPod/iTunes on a home pc several years ago. Added iPhone, iPad, laptop and office pc. Have multiple iTunes/iMusic folders on all 3 computers -- using iCloud to access media on iPhone/iPad. What's the best way consolidate songs, movies, books, etc prior to phasing out home pc? Which machine (laptop or office pc) is best to use as the master host for iTunes/iMusic going forward? Don't want to lose anything or create numerous duplicates.
I finally resolved this... by changing everything over to a new laptop. I had been running iTunes on a Vista desktop, and moved Outlook and iTunes to a Win7 x64 laptop. Once I got everything installed, I copied the iTunes folder to the laptop, transferred the purchases, backed up the iPhone and iPad to the new iTunes, and then synched them. Set iTunes to sync Calendar, Contacts, Mail, and Notes on both, and resynched. Once this was done and I verified that everything was intact on both the iPhone and the iPad, I tried entering a calendar event on the phone and then did another sync. The event showed up in Outlook. I then deleted the event from Outlook and did another sync and the event was gone from the iPhone. Did the same with the iPad and got the same results. So this apparently was something related to the desktop or Vista; I never got it resolved on the desktop. Not sure what it could be, but now that it's resolved I'm going to leave it alone. Maybe after I upgrade to an iPhone 5, I might try messing with the iPhone 4s on the Vista desktop. If I do, and happen to get it resolved, I'll surely post something regarding that.

I have transferred Aperture 3 from an old Imac to a new. Now I´m requested to put in the serial number for v2, which I upgraded from several years ago. I can`t find it, but have the serial number for the upgrade. What to do? Can I find the original serial number in my old Imac?
You'll have to contact Apple. See Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers

Inherited an ipad 2 and do not have the iTunes password. Can I get the ipad reset?
The ipad was my moms and she passed away. I know her itunes password was rarely used as she had the same few apps on there for years. I want to reset it and give it to my grandkids. Everything I am reading tells me that apple will not help without the password. Is that true? Is there anything I can show, like death certificate or receipt (if I can get a copy) for the ipad when I bought it for her?
I think that you are talking about the iCloud password that you will need in order to be able to erase the device and start all over again. If you have the original bill of sale/receipt and her death certificate, make an appointment at an Apple Store and they should be able to help.
I'm sorry for your loss. -
I forgot my iPad password and now I have a iTunes icon and charger on my initial screen
What does the iTunes icon and charger on initial screen mean
It means you have to connect your iPad to your computer and restore it as a New Device via iTunes. Next time, if you use a passcode, write the number down somewhere as there is no other option.

The computer I originally started using iTunes on a few years ago is no longer usable, but for some reason some of the songs I have now are not showing up in my library on the new laptop I just bought. How do I consolidate the total songs on my iPhone to include them all in a new library on my iTunes in this new laptop? And why isn't this new laptop letting me update to ios 6 without deleting everything on my phone?
Your music will ONLY be where you put it.
It will not magically appear anywhere.
You buy one and only one download. it is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

ok i have a advent roma laptop with window 7. my itunes used to work fine, completely. every time i plugged in my ipod it was ok. recently my ipod was not working so i never bothered with itunes, however i have movies/tv prog that i purchased and would like to view them. i have an ipod nano from about 5 years ago, the problem with thet is, it switches on, but the circular control panel does nothing, all you can do is lock and unlock it - nothing else.
i tried to download new version of itunes, then uninstalled my origonal version, incase it was corrupted etc, i then again tried to down load new version and also version that is windows 64bit. still when i select the downlaod to open as son as it is finnished nothing happens. and now my desktop shortcut has dissapeared. before when it was there, id double click it, nothing, right click to open it, nothing.

I created an iTunes ago several years ago under this email: At this time I did not own an Apple product. All songs purchased and downloaded were in my lap top.
When I purchased my first iPhone...another iTunes account was created under the iPhone ID:
There is NO ONE that can help or assist me. IF instructed properly and correctly...I can maneuver thru my systems. I would like to combine the two accounts. Is this possible? There is NO logical reason to have 2 accounts out there...
I am upgrading to the iPhone 5s on the 20th of this month...Can someone please help me move all information?
Also, I need to know how to check/review the credit card information in my iTunes account in my current iPhone 5. Not able to make purchases....AND there is cash in my account.
Not difficult questions...just need someone to take the time to help me.
Thank you.

Several years ago I had an itunes account through my work email address. I have since let the company but when I tried to access the songs I'd already purchased, my password would not work because that account no longer existed. I ended up having to open another account but how can I access that account to retrieve my other songs? I realize I can't transfer between accounts but maybe at least burn to CD?
Hello, RSchultz13.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can reset your Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below. I would try the option to answer your security questions. If those steps do not work then you may need to reach out to our account security team to reset this old Apple ID password. Once this is done you should be able to access your old DRM protected purchases.

My ipod stopped working a few years ago, it said i had to connect to itunes to restore, as i then got an iphone i never bothered to sort it, I am now trying to and hwne i connect to itunes it says it must be restored, After ive restored it nothing happens, at first it says "ipod has been restored and is restarting, it will appear in the itunes window once it has restarted" so i wait but nothing happens and eventually it comes up with the same message telling me the ipod needs to be restored?
Errors when updating leads to corrupt system files and this may be your problem. If you're using windows, connect your device to PC and run any third party app like Syncios. If it detects, you maybe in luck and try to back-up your data if possible. I hope that it won't and if doesn't, there is no other way to recover files. You should be restoring with iTunes and all data will be erased, or else your device may become unusable.

Problems with Photoshop CS2
I originally purchased this software several years ago. At time I was running Microsoft Windows XP.
This computer recently was replaced with a Dell running Windows 8.I reloaded my CS2 on this computer & it ran fine with a few exceptions as follows;
when the software comes up initially I get a message that says “could not complete your request because of program error”. Hitting OK allows me to continue using the software .
When I try to activate a function using CTLR or ALT keys I get this message “required application failed to load and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application”. This causes the application to abort.
Reloading my CS2 continues to generate the same messages when I depress the CTLR or ALT keys.Your original copy is obsolete and Adobe is offering a free replacement you are entitled to. Download and use that and that should clear it up for you.

Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id. do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)
There is no problem about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and another for iCloud and its email and syncing facilities. This way you can all use the same iTunes account but have separate emails and calendars etc.

I plug my ipod into my computer itunes pops up with error message "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" suggests I unplug and try again or uninstall itunes and reinstall nothing works. What should i do?
summarizing:
iPod nano (what version iOS BEFORE update?)
downloaded music
updated iPod to iOS 8.1.2
Windows 7 PC
plug-in iPod to PC
error message from iTunes on the PC "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" ⬅[quoted from your original post] (+ suggested troubleshooting steps)
un-plug > re-plug iPod (how many times?)
iTunes un-installed from PC (?)
iTunes RE-installed to PC (?)
error message repeats(?)
searched "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" site:support.apple.com with ZERO results - pretty strange that the support site wouldn;t know an iTunes generated error message (?) EDIT - had an "aha! moment when using a fresh Google search page and 'suggested' CANNOT
then "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" site:discussions.apple.com had ONE result = Can't connect to iTunes with ipod touch (-50 error) - NO REPLIES
CANNOT instead of can't [ tsk tsk ]
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
follow all the instructions in order and let us know
