Hello KYaple,
It sounds like there are permissions issues with iTunes. When you sync it may be trying to copy purchased items from your iPhone to your iTunes. Check out the article below to try and resolve it.

When I try to sync my new phone to my iTunes, it says that I do not have enough access priviledges for this operation. I can't figure out WHY?

Just tried to install a new app and was told that I needed to "Agree to new Terms

Just tried to install a new app and was told that I needed to "Agree to new Terms & Conditions". When I hit OK, it brings me to a blank screen, so I can't accept them. What am I supposed to do?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

I was trying to clean up my desktop, and inadvertently switched all my icons on my desktop. When I click on file a, file b opens and so on, regardless of the extension type. Is there any way to fix this?

I use
Chronosync (http://www.econtechnologies.com/pages/cs/chrono_overview.html)
and
Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/)
Both work very well. The former I use for manual, one-way synchroniziation of (nearly) entire systems. The latter for automatic syncing of very active directories through local and shared online storage.

While trying to sync a new iphone5S and a ipod touch the contact phone numbers disappeared. Where would I be able to retrieve them at?

While trying to sync an ipod touch and a new iphone 5S the phone numbers in my contacts was erased. The other information on them in the contacts is still there but the phone numbers on everyone is gone. Does anyone know how to retrieve the phone numbers.

Welcome to the discussions,
you can check your saved backups in iTunes/settings/devices
then choose restore ipod and select your old backup to restore from.

I an Atrix and shows this phone as an approved phone. However when I click to install in market is states it's not an approved phone.

How do I bypass market and install? Firefox shows this phone will work.

If you're in recovery mode, all data is ALREADY lost. You've no choice but to restore.

When I go to my folders in the doc, the fan feature is not there. It stays in grid. I can click list. Once in list (and list only), the fan option returns. However when I click it, it just goes to automatic. My folders just have 3 items or less in them.

Quick note...when my son logs into his user account, the fan feature pops right up and works fine. Thanks!

Is the Dock on the bottom or the side? Fan is not an option with it on the side.

Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

When i tried to sync my new iPhone to Itunes, I accidentally clicked on sync with my ipod, instead of creating a new one. So now my iphone is the replica of my ipod, deleting my contacts and pictures etc. Is there a way to get it restored?

Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists. If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.

I am trying to sync 11 new songs onto my iPod, and I have over 2 GB of free space, but my computer keeps telling me I can't sync because I need more space. How can that be?

My iPod touch is not syncing correctly. I'm trying to add 11 new songs, and a message pops up telling me I need 24 more mb of space. In the bar below, it says I have over 2 gb of space free. Additionally, a playlist I was trying to add songs to is not adding the correct songs. In my iTunes, it has all the music, but when I synced, only 2 of the songs were transfered onto my actual iPod. I don't know what's going on or why. Help is much appreciated!!

Make sure that yo have the boxed chanced to only sync the checked music. It appears that it is trying to sync ore than those.
You can try unsycing all music and resyncing.

I bought a new ipod and tried to sync it to my library but it said I needed an update version of itunes. My mac os 10.5.8 won't let me update. Do I need to update my OS to leopard then to lion?

I tried to sync a new ipod to my itunes library, but it said I need to update my itunes version. When I tried to update, it would not let me. Do I need to upgrade my OS system to Leopard then to Lion?

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
10.6.8 is needed for full compatibility with the iPod Touch. You can upgrade to Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements, but it is not needed to use your new iPod.

Is your Mac running the current iTunes version?
If so, any change after restarting your Mac?

Overdrive media are not iTunes purchases so they do not transfer with:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Overdive media are copy protected so you can only read them via Overdrive. I do not understand what you mean by free books and are now paid. Overdrive are typically books for a public library.
You can try looking on your iPod via a third-party program like PhoneView, Touch copy or the free program iFunBox

Trying to sync my new ipod touch and it is taking forever to sync is this normal?

I'm trying to sync my new ipod touch and it is taking forever to sync is this normal?

At what stage it is freezing?
There are six steps or so.
Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync it to one library. I want to sync it to the previous library but how do I get it to go there?

I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync to one library. I want to sync it to the original library bc that is the one that has all songs. It keeps giving me a library with just songs that I have bought on itunes. I never created a new library so I am not sure why it is doing this. How do I get it to sync to my original library? I have already tried to restore a previous version of itunes but that did not help.

It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files. It happens sometimes. To recovery:
- Import the old music into the current iTunes library
- Make sure all the apps are also in the library
- If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
- After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes.
- Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.
