Two iPhones showing in iTunes but I only have one

I had to get my original iPhone (bought 9/26) replaced because it kept mysteriously turning off. I now have two iPhones showing up in iTunes. Ones says "iPhone" and one says "Lisa's iPhone". ANy way to combine these and get rid of one of them?
Thanks.
LIsa

Lisa,
Where are these two iPhones showing up? Is it in the left-hand Source List of iTunes under the Devices heading? Or are they showing under Edit > Preferences > iPhone?
If they are both showing under the Devices header in the Source List, what happens when you disconnect the iPhone? Do both disappear or only one?
If they are showing in the Preferences window, then that is actually a record of the different backups iTunes has made for each iPhone. If the preferences and settings on your new iPhone are how you would like them, then you can remove the old backup.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

Update OS X also. To learn how to do that read OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
Rid your Mac of the adware that is installed. To do that with Safari, go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. Uninstall any Extensions that appear unless you know their purpose and are certain you need. To learn how adware may have come to be installed on your Mac, read How to install adware.

You can try requesting that it be added to the US store, but ultimately it's the record company that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Is it available on any other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

I am looking to swtich from an individual creative cloud membership to a team membership, but I only have one employee. Is it worth it to make the switch to team if we are both only using Photoshop?

Hi ,
Team subscription can be done for only one software ( for example team for Photoshop ).
The advantage of team is that you have one charge and one invoice for all users.Also when a member of your team leave the company ,you can delete his invitation and assign it to another employee ,you can also add seats if you have additional employee without contacting adobe or changing your plan,you have more storage volume ( 100Gb ).
Here are the most important advantages but it's your decision .

ITunes says I have the max (5 computers) authorized, but I only have one..

Upgrading my operating system and re-installing iTunes on my PC and it says I cannot authorize this version of iTunes because I already have the maximum number of computers (5) authorized. As far as I know, I only have one. How can I somehow "reset" my iTunes account so that other older computers I may have had in the past are no longer authorized?

You need to Deauthorize all then authorize what you want.
See this -> iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

IPod sync problem - wrong library but I only have one

trying to sync with either iPod touch or iPod classic. I'm told that both are synced with a "different" library and program wants to delete everything on iPod and replace with this library. but I have done a search and I only have one library on my computer. the library seems to be complete and up to date. Should I go ahead let it delete and replace? Sounds dangerous and drastic.

But my concern is that my ENTIRE library will then be placed on my Touch, where I now only have two playlists plus apps and contacts
So your ENTIRE library conatins more than what is in these two playlists?
If you want to sync only these two playlists...
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click the Music tab.
Select *Sync music* and *Selected playlists* then tick only the playlists you want to sync.
Add or remove songs from these playlists to change what is on the iPod.
The terminology used by iTunes is very unclear to me.
Okay.
It seems very clear to me.
It tells you it will erase your iPod and add what is in iTunes.
If everything will not fit, it will tell you.

I can't sync and iPad because it says I'm maxed on authorized computers but I only have one.

Help. I'm in Apple ****. iTunes is telling me that I've activated 5 computers and I can't sync a new iPad. When I look at my account I only have ONE activated. I have to keep deauthorizing and authorizing the same computer over and over to be able to sync the iPad but that only happened once. When I start the sync it then says this over again and I basically have a .9lb paperweight.
On both iTunes and my account view it shows I have just one computer activated. I delete the computer I'm on and it shows 0 but when I try to sync and then authorize the computer it again shows 5 and says that the apps on my iPad will be deleted if I don't authorize it. I don't want to delete them obviously but I need to get some images on the iPad. I'm a photographer and this is hugely important.
I've spent probably 2 hours trying to clear this mess.

Get a newer device. The original iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1.

Apple id says my gmail address is already used by another id but I only have one. I'm trying to change my apple id to my gmail.address

I want to change my apple ID to my gmail address to use with FaceTime. I went to appleid.apple.com and signed into my account. I don't see anyway 'edit' to change my email address.
When I tried to use it as my alternate, I get the message saying that email is not available because it is being used by another apple ID, but I only have the one.

Simply update your old AppleID.
-> Change your Apple ID

Updates is unavailable for my ID, but i only have one ID.

I just found a problem today that i am unable to update my apps. It told me that "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded of cancelled' ~ Both iphone and ipad. I am sure i only have one Apple ID. What happen to this ? It only happen today !!

Yes! This just happened to me today as well, and I only have one Apple ID which is signed in correctly. I have no clue what is going on. It is frustrating to be unable to update my apps.

Sometimes a computer glitch wil cause that problem. You just have to restore the iPod and resync.

IPhone appears in itunes but screen only say "iPhone".

I have an iphone second generation and i put an AT&T sim card from a newer phone into this phone. When i plugged it into itunes to set it up it shows up under the devices but all it says is "iPhone". The only action it will let me do is eject. the Setup Assistant wont appear and i need to know why. Thank You.

I forgot to add that i have a macbook laptop with everything up to date and i am using an apple cable to connect to my computer.

HT204053 My husband and I both have iPhones but we only have one iPad. We use the same apple ID because we also share the same email address. How would this work with iCloud because we don't share the same contacts? Thanks Elainecontacts

My husband and I both have an iPhone and we share an iPad. We also share the same email address so how would this work with iCloud because we don't share all the same contacts?
Thanks

An icloud account is designed to be used by one user. That user can have all his/her devices synced with the same Apple data (email, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) . When two people use the same account, then problems usually occur when one user edits data that the other user doesn't want changed on their device. You can continue sharing the same ID for the itunes account in order to share the purchased music, apps, etc. itunes accounts and icloud accounts are different.
It's by far better that each user has his/her own icloud account.

Two serial numbers requestet - but I only have one

Hello, I bought a version of lightroom 5 today and downloaded it. Now I wanted to start the program and it asked for two serial numbers. The actually serial number was sent per Email but it also asked for an older serial number, but this is the first program I bougt and I do not have any other number. Does anyone has an idea. Sorry if my english isn't perfect. Greets Franzi

you must have purchased an upgrade. in that situation you will be prompted for the lr 5 serial number and then when the installer fails to find a qualifying product (eg, a previous lr version), you are prompted for the previous versions serial number.
if you don't own a previous version, you purchased the wrong lr version (ie, an upgrade). Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order

8GB iphone 5c. Itunes states it only have 5gb capacity?

Got the phone in the post this morning. After downloading my essential apps I plugged the phone into my computer to put some music on it. iTunes says that the total capacity of my phone is 5gb, and that a lot of space has been taken up already by 'documents and data' and 'other'. I downloaded and installed the latest iOS as well if this has anything to do with it. It also says in the phone's settings that there it only 5.2GB total storage capacity. Please help!

Did You Backup data Like Whatsapp Messages Documents & Data Go To Settings - ICloud - (The Top) Storage- Manage Storage- Documents & Data [DELETE SOME THINGS IN DOCUMENTS & DATA] Like I Have Whatsapp, Notes, iMovie (press any of them, edit DELETE ALL) Your Sincerly, RidZz, I DO NOT WORK FOR APPLE OR EE, JUST GENERAL APPLE KNOWLEDGE!
