Unsync from one account to sync to another account

When I brought my Iphone 4 I did not pay attention to the account that was signed into Itunes, so my Iphone is synced to my mom's account. I need to sync it to my itunes library. Everytime that I want to sync tones to my account, it wants to erase my library and put mom account to mine. How to do it with out losing entire information

Hey hgray022,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to change what Apple ID is used on your iPhone. this article will explain how to use a different Apple ID on your iPhone.

  • When I connect my ipod to my computer, Itunes tells me the ipod is synced to another account.  I only have one account.  My only account is blank now.  I'm not sure what is going on but I don't want to plug in my iphone or ipad now.

    I need help to sync my ipod.  When connected to my computer, itunes tells me it is synced to another account.  I only have one account.  I had tons of stuff stored on itunes, now my itunes account is blank.  I fear connecting my iphone or ipad now.  I would like to use my itunes to download movies and shows to my ipad2' but I'm not sure I want to risk it.  I have signed onto my husband's computer and tried to assess my itunes account but get the same result!  Help!

    " I had tons of stuff stored on itunes, now my itunes account is blank."
    How did this happen?
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
    You can sync iphone/ipad to one and only one itunes library at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the iphone.

  • I lost my iPhone recently. It has since disappeared from support profile. Does this suggest that the phone has been restored and synced with another account?

    You cannot. iTunes purchases remain on the iTunes account they were purchased with.

    So just upload them from iTunes.

  • TS1702 Change from one country App Store to another country

    How doe one change from one country App Store to another country ????

    When I try to change my country in the Account section of the App Store (and the ITunes Store)  I receive the message "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores."
    I am unable to understand the reason for this and can't find a way around this. The amount of credit remaining in my account is less than the price of any App or Song.
    I am also concerned after reading other threads that if I change countries, whether the Apps purchased in one country will still be available in the new country.
    Some have proposed using credit cards to change the country for the account, but  accounts funded through vouchers exclusively should be able to be able to change countries without this requirements.
    Thanks in advance for any solutions or comments.

    How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another - on the same screen?

      Open both of your images in the Editor. Click on the image you want to copy and press Ctrtl+A (select all) followed by Ctrl+C (copy) then click the tab for your other image and press Ctrl+V (paste)
    Alternatively click on your background image then simply drag the second image from the photo/project bin and drop it into the main editor workspace on top of the background image. Use the move tool to position and the corner handles of the bounding box to scale.

  • How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

  • I transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another and added more music on the same day. How do I get rid of my duplicate files without going through them one by one which would take forever?

    Please help. I have transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another plus added additional music now I have duplicates of the same music in many albums. How do I delete the duplicates without going through them one by one which would take forever? I understand how to get the "show exact duplicate" feature up on iTunes but, because they were added to the library on the exact day I can't seperate them I'm that manner. So each duplicate is right next to eachother in the exact duplicate screen.

  • How can I share two differents Itunes accounts in my Apple TV ? I have one and my wife has another account and we want to share both in our apple tv. How can I do this ???

    How can I share two differents Itunes accounts in my Apple TV ? I have one and my wife has another account and we want to share both in our apple tv. How can I do this ???

    I assume you have different iTunes collections on different PC's, or on different logins on the same PC?  If that's the case then just enable "Home Sharing" in each iTunes using the SAME iTunes username and password as you enabled home sharing on the Apple TV with. The account used for home sharing is NOT the same as the account used to access the iTunes store, so as long as you use the same account (pick one, doesn't matter which) then you should see both of yor iTunes libraries on the Apple TV. Note - each iTunes has ti be running in order for the Apple TV to see the library.
    Here's some details on how to do it:

  • How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

    How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

    Options:
    1. Export from iPhoto A to the Finder, then import to iPhoto B
    This gets the photo over, but no versions, no edit history and not all the metadata
    2. Use iPhoto Library Manager
    This gets everything: versions, edit history and all the metadata.

  • How do I move my operating system from one internal hard drive to another on the same Mac?

    My question is pretty straightforward: How do I—or can I—move my operating system from one internal hard drive to another on the same Mac Pro desktop?

    I'll let baltwo come in with a definitive answer, but the last time I just made a clone, CCC used Disk Utility to create a recovery partition on an external drive's partition. You get these windows successively (and it did create it with a message that it was successful):

  • How do I move data on time machine from one external hard drive to another

    How do I move data on time machine from one external hard drive to another?

    Although the documentation says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it's very slow and sometimes doesn't work at all.
    Launch Disk Utility, open the built-in help, and search for the term "Duplicate." Follow the instructions. Turn Time Machine OFF in its preference pane while copying the volume.

  • Cannot copy itunes from one external hard drive to another.

    I have been using an external hard drive for storing my itunes and iphoto for a while now. I have never experienced any issue copying it to a larger drive for back up. My current drive is only 80 gigs (LaCie) and is almost out of space. I bought a new g-tech 500gig mini drive to replace it. Every time that I try to move the files from the old drive to the new one, I get the following error message 10 gigs into the transfer-
    [You can’t copy “Music” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames.]
    There is nothing on the new drive. I even took the iphoto folder off to make sure there was nothing on it to cause this message.
    Is this an external drive issue or a Finder issue? I had no issue moving the iphoto library onto the new drive, fwiw...

    I am getting exactly the same problem. It's just with the music folder. I dont get the problem copying other folders over. It gets about 22gb into copying 100gb from one external hard drive to another then I get the error message "You can’t copy “Music” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames." So I tried just copying the itunes folder and I still get the same message. Any advice welcome.
