This has probably come up a million times - iTunes and multiple computers

I have a desktop game machine and a laptop I use primarily for school work and web browsing. Currently, I simply add music to one computer, then remember to add it to another. Is there some program or iTunes extension out there to keep the two libraries perfectly synchronized (including album art)? I'm really picky about having my album art set up perfectly...
Thins which are NOT Options
1. Network drive. I don't always have access to the big desktop via network (when I'm at home, in the car, on the road somewhere else).
2. External drive. I don't want to have to tote an external around. I do have a program to fix an external's drive letter (USB Drive Letter Manager, freeware), but I usually leave the external plugged into my desktop for extra storage.
3. iTunes sharing. Same issue as network drive, no guaranteed access.
Am I doomed to have to keep syncing manually? If there are programs out there, I am not necessarily averse to a commercial (i.e. paid) solution, but freeware (NOT Demoware) is preferred.

There are a few utilities that can help you sync iTunes across different computers. You could begin your research by having a look at these for instance:
TuneRanger
SuperSync
syncOtunes

I know, this has probably been asked a million times, but....

I'm working on a website using iWeb and I want to embed a forum on it. I'm currently using a forum supplied by webs.com by embedding the HTML code they gave me on the page (which is what I'm supposed to do with it.)
Whenever I click on the various board within the forum, however, they open in a new frame, instead of the same frame. I'm not sure how to fix this. It happens in both Firefox and Safari, but a friend of mine says that it works just fine for him in IE. Anyone know how to fix this or where I can get a better forum that is easy to embed and doesn't require an installation on the server side (webs.com doesn't really let you do that....)
Thanks

Like this:
Where it says "FORUM GOES HERE" you use the embed code from your forum (actually, you can put anything there, like I did with the News Feed on my Home page www.emceese7en.webs.com/site/home.html)
You can adjust the size of the box using the width and height in the code (currently at 950x952).
Sorry it took so long to get back to you! Hope it works out for you. Also, since it turned into a box when I posted the actual code, I had to post it as an image. Sorry about that!

Folder with !! (i know this has been on here a million time, i'm DESPERATE)

Let's start off with this:
My old 4G 20GB clickwheel iPod broke (the click wheel) so I sent it in and got a "refurbished" one back, still 4G 20GB
Since the day I got the "new" it has been showing the folder with !! and support.apple.com. resetting it fixed it several times, but this time it's toast.
My computer is not reconginzing it anymore.
I have already:
1. Reset it.
2. Tried to restore it, but since my computer will not reconginze it, i cannot.
3. Put it in disk mode with no luck
4. Dropped it on the carpetted floor.
5. Taken iTunes on and off my computer, and reset it.
6. Read Apple.com's advice and tried to restore it with no luck.
I do have BestBuy care, which is the same thing as AppleCare only through bestbuy, but i really do not want to send it in . first of all, i JUST got this one about a week ago. and i was told 7-10 days i should have it back, but it ended up being 33 days..and let's just say i'm not a patient person.
is there ANYTHING else i can do?
(windows XP, 4G20GB clickwheel)

Try the Apple way

I'm sure this has been on here a million times already but...

My iPhone won't connect my PC (Vista). According to the apple website I need to update my 'Mobile Device Driver' but it's not there in device manager. I've tried reinstalling iTunes, didn't work.
Help please.

My iMac (running Lion 10.7.3) is connected wirelessly to a Laserjet 2550. This has operated fine for a long time, but now the printer cannot be found when Time Machine back ups are taking place - Bonjour does not show any devices being available when Time Machine is running. Does anyone know the cause & remedy please?

Your points match mine pretty well,though here are some thoughts:
1. I thought about this theory myself this morning (iTunes possibly causing more issues), but I haven't been able to verify it.
2. When I set up a new user it seemed better for a while, but the issue croppped back up. Yesterday I fully wiped the machine and reinstalled from scratch. I did not reimport my user from TimeMachine, but the problem has come back. My thinking was that I might have some really old software or prefs hanging around causing the issue. No dice.
3. This is my current theory of the issue, so my next step will be to pull the RAM from Crucial and see how the system behves. IF that doesn't eliminate the problem, I'll pull the factory installed RAM and replace it with the 3rd party RAM. The odd thing is how many people seem to have similar issues - I know two personally, and have seen several posts on forums. I think the most common point for this happening was the 10.7.2 update, which would point to software as the culprit.
4. That matches my experience.
My hope is that this will be repaired in the forthcoming 10.7.3 release (current production version is 10.7.2), but otuside of what I noted above, I'm at a loss.

I have an issue syncing my iPhone 4 with itunes. This has only happened the last few times i have tried but don't know how to resolve it. Please help.

Hi, the last few times i have tried to sync my iPhone 4 to my itunes it won't work. I plug my phone into my computer, to sync any new pictures i have taken or add my new music i have bought on my phone, and hit sync. It appears to start syncing then an error message appears saying the following:
The iPhone 'my iPhone' cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
I'm not sure what this means or why this keeps happening. I have the latest iTunes and i have not done anything different. It appears to have wiped some of my music from my iPhone and a number of my photo albums off. Please can someone help or advise how i resolve this issue. Thanks.

When you set up iOS7 the second screen specifically asks that you create a four digit code .
That's what you now need to re-enter in your phone.
Once entered you can go to system/general/Passcode lock
Re-enter the same code and choose turn Passcode off
iOS 7 has been designed to enforce minimum passcode security by default or in the case of the new 5s use of finger print level security.

I use a mac ios and shoot raw in a cannon 5d mark ii and shortly upon import of my images lightroom darkens and changes my images. This has happened before but not every time. The strange part is my last shoot had the same camera setting but this did not happen. The images i have now i can not use after lightroom has automatically altered them even if i try editing back to how they looked upon import

First thing to do is to change the default camera profile applied in Lightroom to camera standard (assuming that you shoot Canon or Nikon). Also make sure that your camera is NOT set up to use any of the HDR modes. Nikon calls those Active Dynamic Lighting. On Canons you often see things like highlight priority mode or "Auto Lighting Optimizer". Make sure that the picture style is set to standard and that for newer Canons the HDR mode is turned off. Most of the HDR modes simply underexpose the image and then add an instruction in the raw file to compensate for this to prevent highlights from being blown out. This causes more noise in the shadows and if you know what you are doing there is no point to this as you should simply expose correctly and get the highest quality raw.
Lastly, make sure that in Lightroom you have not checked "Apply Auto Tone Adjustments" in Preferences->Presets. This should make the default rendering of the raw files the same as the in-camera jpeg (what the camera shows on the back even if you shoot raw) but still give you all the latitude of raw files.

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version. I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues. During the installation process it gave me an error message that said:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer. I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I did not leave anything out from the error message. It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..." Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
How do I repair this issue? I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse. I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

Hi lustyln,
I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
For reference, here are your product specifications:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
I hope this helps.

HT2688 My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now.

My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now? iTunes now says that I have to wait another 55 days! There must be a way to do this since I have paid for them.

In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

I dropped my iPhone and i tried to turn it on but it only comes on at curtain times. And it turns back off when I drop it just a little bit. Sometimes it takes like three days to turn back on. How do I get it to work regularly again?? Please help!!!

Seems like there is some physical damage causing an intermittent issue of the iPhone being unable to power on.
You could try a reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the iphone will turn off(keep holding) then when the Apple logo appears release both buttons
If the reset fails I would suggest next time it powers on to try and back it up to either iTunes/iCloud then you can try a restore to factory settings or just back up and book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
All the best

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes.
Click Restore on the Summary pane if iPad is visible in iTune

This just started happening.. I open Itunes and the little round rainbow loading indicator just goes on and doesnt stop.. My itunes wont function.. It gets stuck. Then i have to force quit.. I tried to shut down and restart. also reloaded the latest itune 11.1.3 and it still gets stuck.

TS1702 i have the original ipad it is running iOS 5.1.1 - i tried to install Procreate and error message said this application needed iOS 6 - went back to itunes and downloaded iOs 6 and installed it on computer then resynced the ipad - but doesent update

i have the original ipad it is running iOS 5.1.1 - i tried to install Procreate and error message said this application needed iOS 6 - went back to itunes and downloaded iOs 6 and installed it on computer then resynced the ipad - but doesent update to 6 - anyone have a suggestion???

I contacted apple and they checked and yes the originsl ipad cant support ios 6 - so cant use procreate have also checked the procreate website and it appears they advised itunes of this - ideally there should end up being two versions of procreate - one for ios 5 and one for ios 6 -
dont want to sell the current ipad and get another - at this stage - for the amount of usage it gets not worth the expense
thanks
