Two iTouches; iTunes trying to overwrite one of them with other's info

I was trying to add music to my two kid's iTouches.
I didn't realize I had my son's plugged in and iTunes asked if it should recognize this iTouch as my daughters. (I don't think I'd sync'd his before)
I said yes and then realized it was my son's iTouch.
I stopped the sync and didn't loose anything (OHMYGOSH- he would have been mad and rightfully so).
However, now when I try to re-sync his phone it recongnizes his phone as HER phone and tries to overwrite it.
How can I stop it from doing that so I can sync his iTouch/back it up so forth?
I was thinking somehow to see what UDID is was recognizing, deleting her iTouch from my iTunes or something momentarily.
Thoughts?

My movies won't download, one says waiting the other processing it has been like that for over 14 hours, and I can't delete them, any suggestions?

Controllers in the same WISM module in the 6500, i'm trying to make one of them anchor controller for guest internet

I have 2 controller in the same WISM module and I'm trying to make one of them Anchor controller for guest WLAN, but when I give put the anchor controller in a separated non-routed VLAN and connect it to an outside switch by creating VLAN 192 on the core. ( the Internet router is connected to the same switch).-it is showing path down... ( VLAN 192 visitor Internet and VLAN 224 my internal controller management VLAN are not talking)
there is no routing between these 2 VLAN ( because of security), but i can't get the controller to communicate.
-if I connect my laptop to this switch I'm able to go out on Internet but my visitor WLAN is not able to get IP address from the router connected to this switch.
- I called Cisco and one the guys told me that i can leave the management in VLAN 224 for the controller to communicate ( which they did), but the issue I'm having right now is that my visitors are not getting IP addresses from this VLAN at all
some one please advise
vlan192   4/1 vlan 192              int g0/0 192.168.2.201
6500 ----- switch ---- router--------- (outside)
    |         |   |
    |        DHCP server
   WLC

A couple of questions, is VLAN 192 allowed across the trunk link to the wlc? Do you have an interface tagged for vlan 192, with a valid address? What is providing the DHCP?
Cheers,
Steve

I previoulsy have adding many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. And I could the CDs in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music but won't play it. Why

I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week. Help! Thanks.

Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.
How to restore data to your PC is outside the scope of these forums.

Depending on what your needs are, you may use Pages included in iWork or purchase it separately (usually there is an evaluation copy with any new mac, I guess) or try other publishing apps. I once used MS Publisher, I remember it was something like a more sophisticated word processor, right?
You may try the cheaper DTP iCalamus or Word for mac.

TS1503 My iPhone 4 says that there is not enough memory to download apps like Facebook and Instagram. When plugged into iTunes it says that 4GB is filled with "other". How do I clear the "other"? What is this?

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

I have two seperate itunes account and want to transfer them both to one of my two macs

I have a 2006 15" Macbook pro with one itunes account, I have purchased a 13"macbook pro with my new itunes account, and wish to comine them both on one. I am giving the other to my daughter and need to pull my purchased music and my libray off to creat a new one for her. any advice is much appericted, Thanks again.

Make sure both computers are set up to share their library on the local network.
iTune>Preferences>Sharing>Share my library on my local network.
Then, using the computer that you want to have the media on for yourself, go to the other computer's library, it should appear under Shared on the left, select everything you want to import and click "Import".
When it's done you can delete it all from the other computer, then you can just sign out of iTunes.
If you didn't do so previously, you'll want to authorize the computer that now has all the media on it with the older iTunes account.
Store>Authorize this computer.

HT2542 Accessing two different itunes accounts on the one mac... help please.

My wife and I have two separate itune accounts which we use on our ipads, iphones etc both with around 500 downloaded songs, tv programmes, films. We recently purchased a mac and wabt to be able to access all our media on the mac without having to constantly log in as different people. Is this possible?

Yes you can.
The fact you cannot access your son's library from your User account is intentional. User accounts on your Mac are nearly as separate from each other as your Macs are from anyone else's on the planet. To copy music from his account to yours, first copy it to the Shared folder, then log into your account and import the music. Then, you can erase it from Shared.
The Shared folder exists at /Users/Shared.

I had two iPhoto libraries. I erased one of them (which disappeared in the paperbasket - as planned. The otherone, however has now lost all its Keywords... Is there anything what I can do to get my keywords back????

I had two iPhoto Libraries with different content (on an external drive). I had to erase one of the libraries, and it disappeared - as planned - in the paperbasket.
The other (untouched) library, however has now lost all Keywords, and it needs quite awhile (the ball is spinning "for hours") to build up all events (order still like before the keyword desaster.
What can I do to get the keywords back?
Börries

To be more clear: All fotos had been "imported to their foto libraries" by just standard means - no shifting no erasion etc. etc. just regular Upload in one of the two iPhoto libraries by "import".
"Or load your backup from before this happened"
This answer seems to be pretty close to a solution - but, I need help in a step-by-step-way:
My library is located on an external LaCie hard drive - which is to the best of my knowledge not covered by Time Machine. With other words: Time Maschine is not useful here. Is there another backup procedure (possibly from within iPhoto) which I could use to rebuild the keywords from an earlier backup. That would solve 99% of my problems and is fine.
Sorry for being so helpless, but it seems to me as if you had come quite close to a solution....
Best,

I've got 2 itunes libraries. 1 inside the other, and itunes doesn't see one of them.

I installed AVG as an anti-virus. The next day I noticed that 3/4 of my library wasn't in itunes -- only the items purchased from the itunes store. I also lost all my playlists, number of times items were played, etc. Everything was wiped clean except the items purchased fromt the itunes store, but they showed 0 plays and weren't in playlists.
After looking through my files, it turns out that I have a fairly complete version of itunes nested inside another version of itunes. I don't have a recent backup (I know -- mea culpa). Any ideas on how straighten this out?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

How do i sync multiple iphones, one computer without getting other iphone info

how do i sync multiple iphones with one computer without getting other iphone's info.
When I sync my iPhone, after I do a backup, then sync, I end up getting my kids phone numbers, wife's numbers, etc.
How do I create my own account to manage?

Settings
iTUnes and app store
turn off automatic downloads for apps
Then what you buy on one device only goes onto another if you want it to

Have used 1 computer to sync my iphone 5 but today I get message about itunes erasing everything because I am synced with other library. what's up with that?

My Toshiba Satellite is all I have ever used to sync my iPhone 5. I don't know what is going on today but iTunes seems to think I am "synced" with another computer. I have a couple of hours of voice memos that I would hate to lose but iTunes asks if I want to "erase and sync with this Itunes library". If it weren't for the voice memos I'd do it since all the other data is stored in itunes. What can I do? I've restarted both devices thinking it might help with no luck. Is there a way to remove the memos without itunes. The smallest memo is about 45 min long on up to 2 hrs +.

I'm guessing this is a problem unique to me as there have been no replies at all... Thanks a bunch folks

Why aren't TV shows or Movies I buy via Apple TV downloaded or available via my iTunes library (like when I buy them with my laptop or ipad)?

I get that some things are stored in teh cloud but if I paid the money for the show (or rights to view it) I should be able to view it on Apple TV, my iPad, laptop, etc via iTunes. What am I missing?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Used the purchased option in iTunes to download them.
