Trying to switch accounts without loosing songs and apps

My wife and I shared a single Itunes account while married. However, we are currently separated and she locked me out of the account. I paid for a lot of those apps and songs and do not want to loose them. I have all ready created a new apple log in with my own information but scared to change it on my phone in fear of loosing the songs and apps i have on there now. Any help greatly appreciated.

No. Apps are forever tied to the ID they were purchased under. But, iTunes can easily handle multiple iOS devices under one account... I do it with 5 of them all on my one Apple ID.
You just need to select and sync the desired the apps and music for each phone when it's connected to iTunes. iTunes will handle each one separately. For Music, an easy way is to create a Playlist for each device and then only sync that playlist.

If you are asking how to authorise your iTunes account on that computer, then you do so via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (pressing Alt-S should get the Store menu to appear) - this screenshot is from a Mac, but it should be fairly similar on windows 8 :

I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now her password won't allow her into my computer, even though it says it's her account. Is there any way to bypass the password screen?

I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now the password that she used on her computer isn't working on this computer. Is there any logical reason why the two passwords would be different, if I restored her information from a Time Machine backup? Aditionally, Is there a way to bypass the password page on startup to make a password that my mom knows?

If Disk Warrior does not work you can try the following steps (but they may not work if the disk has a hardware error).
Get the disk (DVD or CD) that came with the system (since you have it listed as 10.6.8). If it is 10.7 or 10.8 use the Recovery partition to boot from or the USB installer if you have that option.
Insert the disk then power down
HOLDING the C key, power up to boot from the disc.
Get to Disk Utility
If Disk Utility will now show your hard drive, use DU to REPAIR the disk.
When it completes the Repair process successfully as indicated in DU, do a shut down. If Repair is not successful then an different course of action is indicated below.
Then HOLDING THE APPLE (or Command key depending on your keyboard) KEY AND THE OPTION KEY AND THE LETTER P AND R KEYS, continue hiolding them until you hear the chime tone for the THIRD time then release all four keys.
If REPAIR is not successful, use the Install disc as a boot and REINSTALL THE OS X OPERATING SYSTEM DO NOT ERASE THE DISK OR VOLUME FIRST. REPEAT DO NOT erase the disk or volume before trying to reinstall the OS X operating system. After re-installing the OS do a software update. Note that ERASING the disk is NOT required to do an OS re-install. This allows your existing data and application files to remain.
If that fails then you are down to the "bitter end" of erasing the volume and reinstalling the OS and then all the other software.
If erasing the Volume fails then your last hope is to completely erase the entire hard drive, repartion the disk and try a re-install.
If that fasils then you may have a defective hard disk.

My friend just gave me his old ipod touch and I need help figuring out how the put it on my itunes account so that I can add songs and apps to it. Does anybody know how?

Just in case that wasn't specific enough....It's an older ipod touch. He gave it to me as a Christmas gift and I want to keep the songs and Apps he already has on it but I want to be able to add more to it which means I would need it on my own itunes account because I can't add anything to it without a password.

I'd suggest restoring it to make sure you start completely clean:

Then you can sync whatever content you wish:

The computer must be authorized to the same account you have on your iPhone. Connect the phone and choose Transfer Purchases from the iTunes File menu.

I had my computer wiped and they accidentally wiped my itunes! I have a iPod touch gen 3 but i cant now download or put more music on, without the whole thing being wiped, and I have spent a lot of money on songs and apps!

Does anyone have an ideas about what I could do, to prevent all my things deleting, because I won't be spending more money on apps that I have already purchased once!!
Thank you,

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.

HT3819 Can I set up seperate itunes accouts to seperate the money in each account, but still share the songs and apps we have already purchased or will in the future?

You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.

You need to use the backup of your PC to transfer all the music files to iTunes on the Mac.
If you have no backup then you have a difficult task ahead of you as iTunes will only allow you to sync purchased music from the iPhone back into iTunes. Any music you loaded into iTunes yourself will not transfer from the iPhone to iTunes, this is to prevent stealing of music. To sync iTunes purchased music from the iPhone to iTunes, connect the iPhone and open iTunes, but when asked do NOT sync the device. then right click on the iPhone in the iTunes source list and select the 'Transfer Purchases' option, you will also find this commend in the File menu.
If you are in the US, you can use the new iTunes in the Could feature to redownload your iTunes purchased music / apps / books for free.
If you want to transfer all the content from your iPhone to you Mac then you will need to use Google to find a 3rd party piece of software that will do this for you.

I got an ipod recently and i bought songs and apps already but i cant even get free things now without it asking for my billing details which i have already put in and i know for sure that i still have money on it

You need a valid payment method even for free items. If you know the payment method is valid then contact iTunes.

I bought an iphone for my daughter and was unaware that we should have a seperate appleid for each.Now we share an id and get eachothers contacts and face time calls. I recently bought another iphone and want to change ids without loosing items and music.

I bought an iphone for my daughter and was unaware that we should have a seperate appleid for each.Now we share an id and get eachothers contacts and face time calls. I recently bought another iphone and want to change ids without loosing items and music. How do I do this? The new phone is a 5.

All purchases are always going to be associated to the ID that was used to purchase/download them.
If you create an ID for your daughter you will want to check everywhere it is used to make sure you are not sharing messages and stuff. These would be iTunes/app store, iCloud, iMessages, and FaceTime.
Go thru settings and find all mention of your ID.

How do I lighten up a sequence without loosing color and contrast?

how do I lighten up a sequence without loosing color and contrast?

What have you tired so far? Color correction can be a bit of a challenge until you get comfortable with it.
Also, unless your sequence is one uniform scene, it would probably be better to go on a clip by clip basis to make these adjustments - but here is one quick way to do it for the whole sequence, which may or may not give you the results you are looking for:
Apply an Adjustment Layer that covers the duration of your sequence.
Apply the Fast Color Corrector to the Adjustment Layer.
In the settings for the Fast Color Corrector, bring up the Input Gray level a bit (this will lighten the scene) and raise the Input Black Level (this will help restore some of the contrast). If you need to make the bright portions of the scene brighter, bring down the Input White Level.
Go slowly with small adjustments and adjust to taste. You'll need to work back and forth on those controls to get the best compromise.
If you want more color, increase the Saturation a small amount.

I am trying to switch from video to camera and when I push on the photo button, it remains on video. I've tried turning it on and off, but that doesn't help.

I am trying to switch from video to camera and when I push on the photo button, it remains on video. I've tried turning it on and off, but that doesn't help. Any suggestions?

Tapping the words don't work in iOS 7. Just swipe up or down anywhere on the screen until the mode that you want to use appears in yellow type on the right side. Yellow type indicates the selected mode.
Remember - swipe up or down to get to the mode that you want to use.

Can you share songs and apps but use multiple apple ID's?

Can you share songs and apps but use multiple apple ID's?

hmm, that's a trick one! what I would do is go to Messages>preferences>accounts and then select imessages and then select account details and then sign out. Then your wife will need to sign in with her apple id.
hope this helps!!
let me know if that works because I've never actually tried it.
simply adding both of your accounts to be reached at will prove to be faulty because when you reply you can only reply with the one email address. And even if you switch caller id's it probably still won't work. So I think my method would be the easiest way to do that at this time.
