When I sync my ipod all goes well until I try to eject then it says that other systems are using files on the ipod.
Nothing else is running.
The only way I can eject is to do so manually, when I do I then find the ipod hasnt synched.
Any ideas?

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

I downloaded later software for my Ipad so i coudl watch a film. I backed up using itunes on my new computer. All going well until i tried to restore all it says is you have 5 computers so have read every article and tried everything

I downloaded later version of IPad software to watch a film. I backed up on itunes. All going well until i try to restore from itunes and all it says is you have used 5 authorisations. I've tried deauthorising and it then says I have been successful and now i have 0 computers authorised. I have two apple ID's so tried both. I cant locate anywhere it says deauthorise all. i've followed all help instructions to the letter over and over again. I am going on holiday thursday and cant get anything on my IPAD other syncing with Itunes but then on computer screen says cant sync unless deauthorise one of your 5 computers. Nightmare. I've spent hours since sunday and no further forward. Anyone any clues?

Hello EricaLock
There are a few restrictions when it comes to deauthorize all option. One of them is that there has to be at least 2 accounts signed in. Another option is that you can only deauthorize all once a year. Check out the article below for more information and if you are still stuck, there is an option for further assistance with contacting the iTunes Store for support.

4s with latest software update will not power off, text will only vibrate, iPod only works with earphones. When I sync it with iTunes it works until power save mode starts, then back to not powering down, making text sounds, or playing iPod out loud.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...

Be sure to make an appointment first...

When I rip a CD to iTunes. All goes well until I click on All Albums. If there are other artists named with the Title Artist they are shown as different albums so I end up with 16 albums containing 1 track instead of 1 Album with 16 tracks. Can I fix this

When I rip a CD to iTunes all goes well until I click on All Albums. If there are other artists named as well as the Title Artist, I end up with what appears as 16
Albums with 1 track instead of 1 Album with 16 tracks. Can I fix this ?

Had a similar problem with two tracks from a cd being segregated in a separate list, but with the same album title and artwork as the other 19 tracks. I found that by double clicking the artist field next to the album icon you can then edit that info. In your case it sounds as if you might want to erase the artist info altogether. Once you have done that, all the tracks magically group together, as they should have done in the first place. Oh there might be a dialog box first, asking if you really want to do this.
Hope this helps.

Take it to Apple for evaluation.
FYI, this is the iTunes for Windows forum, the issue has nothing to do with iTunes.

My homepage is Yahoo.ca and used to appear when I opened Firefox. All of a sudden it doesn't although my preferences say that it should. To get to Yahoo, I have to open a "new Page" and then Yahoo appear as a tiny page which I then have to enlarge.

I am not so computer literate as to add much more information than I have already. Unfortunately. One day Firefox opened with my homepage and then, later in the afternoon, it didn't. I had a younger person check it out but she couldn't figure out why the change.

I am unable to empty the trash. it keeps saying that it is being used by another task. I have tried rebooting and problem persist.

I am not very computer savy and am hoping one of you can give me an easy fix. I am unable to empty my trash. A window pops up and says, "the trash can't be emptied because it is being used by another task, such as moving or copying an item or emptying trash. Try again when current task is complete." That has been going on for several days. I did discover that my trash contained over 2,000 items. When I tried to empty them this is what happened. I also must have on auto save because everything I've ever worked on is saved.
HELP???

Did you by any chance hit Secure Empty Trash? Restart then see if holding down the Option (alt) key while hitting Empty Trash works.

Just got an imac and am trying to transfer itunes library from Dell pc via home share method. All goes well but directions say to click the import button. I don't see an import button anywhere. If I close itunes on pc it also disappears from imac.

Just got an imac and am trying to transfer itunes library from dell pc using home share method. All goes well until the end when directions say to click import button. I don't see one anywhere. If I shut down itunes in the pc the library also disappears from the imac. Am I doing something wrong?

check the lower right corner of the iTunes window
if you don't see this while the homeshared library is loaded, home sharing hasn't been set up properly.

no.
that's expected behavior.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for my iMac (Mavericks 10.9.4), downloaded it and have attempted to install it 10 or more times. I have done all the usual maintenance steps (repair permissions, repair disk, etc) and it still won't install. All goes well until the installer gets to "Running Package Scripts" then it stalls or hangs up and does not finish the installation. It runs and runs and runs. It never finishes. I wind up having to force quit the installer. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi jtento ,
Kindly enable the Root Account for the MAC and then try the installation there (in the root account). Please find below the URL to enable the root account.

Itunes says that 5 computers are already authorized to be used with my account when trying to play music that will not sync to my Ipod, but when I go to deathorize all in the store, it says only one is authorized. If I deathorize in the store and Itunes

10 GB of the 30 GB of music on my computer will not sync to my Ipod. This started after I got a new PC w/ windows 7 on it. All of the music, that will not sync, is music I bought and paid for through Itunes. When I go to the Itunes store it says I have only 1 computer authorized (the one I am on). When I try to play the music that is not getting synced, it says that 5 computers are already authorized. I have tried deathorizing the computers from Itunes and Itunes store. I have also tried deauthorizing the account. I am getting the same result. I have tried DRM stripping software but all seem to need Itunes or WMP to play the music in order to be re recorded without the DRM. In my mind there must be some simple way to really get the computers deauthorized from my account and be able to play the music that I paid apple for. Does anyone have any suggestions or is this common for apple,s products to do?

In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.

Did you try to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, try to connect again in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer. Any ideas?

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer, although they are in the iTunes library on the computer and will play. It's these songs that won't transfer to the iPod. I have deauthorized and re-authorized the computer but no joy. Any ideas?

Hello there DesertRat71,
I was thinking that some of the songs in your library may have been purchased under a different apple id. You have already done the first thing I would have done by de authorizing and re authorizing. To verify this, highlight one of the songs that will not sync over and use File>Get Info. Here is the help menu link for it if you need it help://bookmark='https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePa th=English.lproj#itns2937'
In the Summary section there will be an Apple ID entry. If it shows something different than what you are currently using then I recommend signing into the Apple ID it shows and authorizing the computer for that one as well.
All the best,
Sterling
