This iPhone/iPod is synced with another computer. Erase and sync with computers library?
Hello Apple Users,
I've hated this problem ever since my mom got an iPod and then the rest of my family started getting Apple products. As of now, I have an iPhone 5C (7.0.4 going to 7.0.6 soon, Green), my Mom: iPhone 5C (7.0.4 soon 7.0.6), my Dad: iPhone 5C (7.0.4 soon 7.0.6). I've had an iPod for about 3 years now and still using it to multitask. I was connected to my parents' Apple ID until I created my own.
Once I created my own, got my own computer and the stuff like that, I decided to sync my iPhone 5C. Yet, when I try I get this:
This only happens with the following when trying to sync:
•Tones (Any Tone)
•Music (Any Selection)
•Movies (Any Selection)
•TV Shows (Any Selection)
I really need to fix this. It's ridiculous. What should happen is:
Once synced, it creates a folder (Preferably either in Program Files/Program Files (x86), or AppData somewhere) named "Synced iDevices". Click it, it'll have your iDevices Model Number or something, or your iDevice (iPod #G/iPhone #G etc.). And It's basically a "Library" as iTunes calls it. If you delete it, then it's considered "un-synced" and you can re-sync again if you want. This could also be a feature in iTunes.
Feedback is always appreciated! Thanks for reading!

P.S.: I won't be on the Forums after this because im going to a hockey game! I'll try to get on my phone if it isn't dead though!
Yeah dude screw apple. I hate apple. All apple wants to do is control the world.
Im stuck in a loop:
1. I Click "Back Up Now"
2. It says, "Authorize or else, 12 apps and their data will be deleted from this iPhone".
3. I click "Authorize" (keep in mind, It's already authorized)
4. Then, it makes me authorize my parents Apple ID/Computer (which is also authorized).
5. I type in the password and click "Authorize".
6. It says, "5/5 computers are already Authorized with this Apple ID".
Well lets see: We have 3 computers, my brother, my parents, and my own. My brother doesn't even have an Apple ID, iTunes, or any iDevice. So, we're down to 2 computers. My parents have their own Apple ID. I have my own Apple ID. Now remember it made my authorize my parents Apple ID/Computer? Well why? And if the iDevices count, that's 2 iDevices, and a Computer (my parents). That's 3. My Computer = 4 (BUT ITS AUTHORIZED WITH MY DANG APPLE ID). So really, it's actually 3.
Sorry for the horrible description, guys. If you want it more simple, then I can do that. In the meantime, thanks for helping me out, and I'll be writing Apple a 3 star review.
Regards, Vortex.

I updated my MacBook Air to Mavericks yesterday. When attempting to sync my iPad2 and iPhone4 this morning, iTunes keeps crashing on me.
There seems to be some issues with what it thinks my computer name or my Apple ID is. It keeps referring to them as %1$S
Check out this screenshot on the device Summary page of iTunes, It may be hard to make out the text since the image was resized upon uploading it:
The the top circled item reads "This iPhone is already syncing apps with "%1$S"
The second circled item is the incorrectly sized Check for updates button
The thrid circled item (left) are my Apple ID name and computer name, both referred to as %1$S
The fourth circled item (right) is the text "Do you want to allow this computer to access information on "%1$S".
Is anyone else having these issues after upgrading to Mavericks? Any resolution?Nevermind, found that there is also an update that Itunes needed this morning to be compatible with Mavericks. After updating all is fine.
Not sure why iTunes update required for Mavericks was not included in Mavericks, but whatever. Hope this helps anyone else who had this issue. -
I am confused. Is there currently a way to transfer 160 gig ipod Classic music to another computer of mine after my hard drive crashed? it has old limited library already on it?
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I have an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1 and iBooks version 2.1.1. I have 64GB of storage, 80% is used. iBooks is using 250MB of storage. I have a large number of PDF files in my iBooks library. At this time I can not add another book or PDF file to my library. When I try to move a PDF file to iBooks the system works for a while...sometimes the file appears and than disappears....sometimes the file never appears. Is ther some limit to the number of books or total storage used in IBooks? Thanks....
Hi jybravo70,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may be experiencing issues on your non iOS 8 devices because iOS 8 is required to set up or join a Family Sharing group.
The following information is located in the print at the bottom of the article.
Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing.
Have a great day,

I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.
I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that. -

There is nothing you can do except return iPhone & get your money back.

How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?
Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it. Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site. If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side. -
how can i fix this accessory is not optimized for this iphone you may experience noise caused bycellular interference and a decrease in cellular single strenght error in my new iphone4
Hello abyjohn,
I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working, and if I was getting a message about the accessory not being optimized. I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this.
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speaker
