Trying to sync my ipod to my iMac but it tells me that everything on ipod will be replaced with itunes on the mac

Trying to sync my ipod with my iMac in itunes but its telling me that everyhting from my ipod will be replaced with my itunes library. Hoe do I get the stuff on my ipod to my itunes?

Syncing is one way only computer iTunes -> Apple devices (iPod touch, iPhone, iPad) except content bought from the iTunes Store.
You need a 3rd party tool to transfer music from iPod to Mac (Google for options)

HT1766 I just bought a 5s and when I got home and tried to sync it stopped and gave me an error message saying that my computer wasn't authorized anymore for some of the purchased items on my iPhone. My computer says it is authorized. What to do?

I just bought a 5s and when I tried to sync it stopped saying my computer was no longer authorized for some of the items on my iphone. I went to store/authorize this computer and it said the computer was already authorized. How do I fix this?

I have the same issue. There are some suggestions to follow in the Apple support article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 They didn't work for me but they may for you. My old iPhone 3S and iPad 2 syncs fine with iTunes.

I have just downloaded Firefox 4 and tried to load it onto my iMac but it tells me that a 'more recent version is on the HD and I know that it is version 3.6.16. What is wrong? Michael S

There is no more detail to be had. Mozilla e-mailed me to tell me that a newer version of Firefox can be downloaded. I did this and followed instructions. Michael Scruton

Thanks for the reply so quickly! Is the tenfourfox going to be be just as safe and as high of quality as the Firefox 4? Also since Mozilla's website says, "Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 4" does that mean if I go back to 3.6 there will be security and stability issues after a "short amount of time"?

Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back on the computer.

I moved my music from the c drive to the d drive. All of my music is in itunes but my ipod won't sync with itunes. The syncing process is taking much longer than usual too. I left my ipod over night to sync and it didnt finish. Fails to sync every time.

I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano, but when I click on the Music tab at the top, it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc. I cannot un-check the Entire Music library option and check the Selected Artist - on

I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano, but when I click on the Music tab at the top,
it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc. I cannot un-check the Entire Music library
option and check the Selected Artist … one.
I have changed the Sync option to Manually sync, but that does not help.
How can I change this to the second option?
Thanks.

There is a checkbox above those two options for how to sync. It says Sync Music; it enables automatic syncing. That box needs to be checked before you can select from the two options for how automatic syncing is performed.
NOTE: If the iPod is current set up to Manually manage music [and videos], checking that Sync Music box replaces its current content with content from your iTunes library, based on how automatic syncing is set up on that screen.
So, if your goal is to add ONE playlist to an iPod that is managed manually, you do not want to do this because iTunes will erase the iPod's current content and replace it with just that ONE selected playlist (and whatever else you select on that Music settings screen).
Instead, if the iPod currently uses the manual setting, you need to add playlists manually to the iPod (not use the automatic syncing setting). Please post back with more details about your situation.

I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
It is simply a list of songs in the library
Do you want the playlists or not?

I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?

My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

Iam trying to buy OS Lion to my Imac but i can not buy because its saying Mac OSX 10.7 requires at least 2 GB of memomie and mine has 1 GB what can i do?

If it's just a question of memory, you can buy and install more. It could also be that your iMac is just not compatile with Lion.
Minimum requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:

Launch the Terminal app, copy & paste this command into the window that pops up, and hit the return key. At the Password: prompt, carefully enter your admin password, since nothing shows up on the screen, and hit the return key.
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/
Then, copy & paste these next two, one at time, into the window and hit the return key after each:
sudo chmod a+rx /Volumes/*
killall Finder
Quit the Terminal app and try installing again.

Hello Kirrajo
Have you tried the transferring purchases in the File drop down menu? Also you can download your purchase by checking the second article to see your purchases within your library or by going to the iTunes Store and click the Purchases link.
