TS1474 why can i not use someone elses computer to sync my itouch without replacing my library? this person does not have an ipod or any other apple device, and until i installed it they did not have itunes?
I have tried to use someone else's computer to sync my i-touch. I was under the impression that I could recognize other dvices to sync my library, but it keeps telling me that i have to erase what is on my i-touch and replace it with the library associated with the computer i am using, yet he does not have an i-tunes account, nor an apple device to necessitate one and only has i-tunes on his computer because I downloaded it to try & sync my i-touch.
That is the way it works. It designed to do that.
In addition to everything else you have to this other person's computer you would have to move your complete iTunes library over also. Only then will it recognize youriTouch.

I do not have my ipad connected to any other apple device and have forgotten my passcode. please help thank you
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
A
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
7. iOS - Unable to update or restore
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
All the music is on an 2T external drive.TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

i have lost my ipad in the lecture room just 2 hours ago, but i donot have any other apple divices and i donot instoll itues in my computer, the only thing i got was my account number and my email. so what can i do to find it??
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries. -
For some reason I cannot send email - all was working fine, but now I get the following error message when I try to send email:
'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk'
I can receive incoming mail ok and I can send email from other Apple devices. The problem seems confined to my Mac Book Pro.

I have Itunes installed on my PC, but now I can no longer open it. If I open it, I get the same message each time: Itunes has stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. As soon as I close that message by clicking on "Close Program" which is my only option, I get a second message stating that to help protect my computer, Data Execution Prevention has closed Itunes. So I read up on help section and attempted to turn off DEP for Itunes, but I get the message that I cannot turn it off for this program. I attempted to repair, uninstall, reinstall Itunes and I keep getting the same message. I also logged in as a guest on my computer as a site suggested and see if the problem exists there as well, it does, it gives me the same message. Please help!
Thanks!
NYou're welcome! Glad you got things sorted out.

Why can I not access iTunes Store on my Ipad?
Why can't I view anything on my Ipad from the Itunes app icon?
Try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and log out of your account and then log back in and see if the store's pages then show. If if doesn't then you could try closing the iTunes store app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it, and/or try a soft-reset.

I have deleted old versions and uploaded the new version. Now that I have completed the install, I cannot open iTunes. I double click it on desktop and it shows thinking symbol for one second and doesn't open. I go through the start menu and it does the same thing. Help!! Please.
Can you check something for me please?
Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
Now try to launch iTunes.
Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)? -

Why can I not access iTunes Match on my MacBook Pro?
I want to subscribe to iTunes Match, but when I click on the 'Match' tab in iTunes 11.1 it just shows 'iTunes Match' and none of the descriptive text I have seen previously. I have seen this as much as two days ago, and now it's not there. It seems like all links are broken as when I click 'Subscribe' from the web it does nothing and clicking 'Turn On iTumes Match' frm the iTunes menu does nothing.
I've tried restarting with no success. I am on a 2011 MacBook Pro, running OSX 10.8.5.Try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and log out of your account and then log back in and see if the store's pages then show. If if doesn't then you could try closing the iTunes store app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it, and/or try a soft-reset.
