I have a laptop and desktop can I sync my itunes to a master libary on a nas or my airport extream? this would be similar to syncing my devices to my imac (iPad, iPhonce, ect.)
two answers as I am unshour to what you want to do:
Setup homeshareing or:
1) QUIT not just Close iTunes if it open
1) Make a folder on the shared disk
2) Move the "Users/username/Music/iTunes folder you want to share with all the devices to the folder on the shared disk
3) Make that folder accessable by all the users you want to access it.
4) Hold the "Option/alt" key down and click iTunes and it will ask if you want to "Choose a Library"
5) click "Choose a Library" and choose the one on the shared disk
6) Do this on evey meachine you want to have access to this library
8) REMBER THAT IF YOUR NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR SHARED DISK THEN YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR LIBRARY but you can choose librays at any time by using step 4 and you can have as meany librarys as you like.
I hope this answers your question

I would like to keep all my Music and photos on my mac but only top rated music and certain photos on my iPad and iPhone how do i stop iCloud from sending all to iPad and iPhone
please help
Regards
Steve DaveyIf you manually manage the device the you can remove the content from the PC after you have put it on the device. However this isn't the recommended way. At some point you'll probably need to restore it which involves wiping all the data. If you don't have all this data to hand then you'll have to try to recover it from a now problematic device first. It's much easier to sync with your library - yes you have two copies, but that's not a waste, it is prudent. As long as you have two copies you can afford to lose one knowing you have a backup. In practice I keep a complete backup of my library, in addition to the subsets of it that I can put on my devices.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library. -
I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?Look in your Home > Music folder. There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl You want to guide iTunes to that file. If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

I have a iPhone 5 with the most up to date software and I have songs appearing on my phone that I've deleted prior too from iTunes on the computer. How do I remove them from my phone, I've tried the left to right swipe and that just plays the songs! :/ Can anyone help me, I'd be forever grateful if I didn't have to go back to the store! I went I today abc he unchecked the show all music and there's still songs I don't want on my iPhone! :(
The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

My daugther' iphone apple id is under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id. My wife now has an ipad and I am looking at using the existing id during set up? Thus, I would like to establish new apple id for daughter, associated to her email account, however I do not want to lose or share her music/photos, nor share with my wife's id. Is this possible, or is it best just to establish a new id for my wife, and then change the email address associated with the existing apple id?
well if you establish a new apple id for your wife that would be best unless you email all of the existing photos to your email and then when you have established a new id then you log into your email on the new id and save all of your pics onto it by pressing on tthe pic for about 5-8 seconds then options will come up and you press the save to my album ..as for the music if you can copy and paste, through computer, the songs then awesome!

I have just updated my phone in icloud and I have lost all my data including my large music collection from itunes. How can I recover my music and phone list?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen. -
Accidently hid all music and photos from my phone?
So I was had my blackberry connected to my computer and I was trying to upload photos from it. There were some hidden ones that I couldn't get to so I decided to look around and see if I could find them. I right clicked the folder blackberry after I selected the device from my computer. I then went into properties and accidentally selected checkbox option of only show hidden, or something to that. Now when I look on the device, all folders are gone including camera, picture music, everything there isn't a single folder listed in the device when it is connected to my computer. And as a result all music and photos on my device even when not connected to my computer are lost. Please help me recover all my music and photos that I foolishly lost.
Solved!
Go to Solution.On your computer you need to make sure it's set to show hidden files.
For Windows Vista and 7:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/show-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-vista/
For XP:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/display-hidden-folders-in-xp/
Once you have those showing in Windows then connect your device back to the computer and undo what you did. You should see the hidden folders in Windows now and you should be able to remove the checkbox for Hidden.

Music on my phone does not show all the iTunes artwork, even after doing a backup restore, eliminating all music and restoring I have an iphone5 64 syncing about 8000 songs, so updating all is a time consuming, and now maddening process. Never had a problem before iOS 8. Someone (hello Apple) needs to develop a utility to help manage artwork recovery.

I've tried Turning off "Show All Music" and then swiping left on the song to delete it, but it wont give me the option to delete the songs. Please help. (this is iOS.7 btw) It only does this for some of the songs, but the rest of them I can delete. This is really annoying, please help me ASAP. Thank yall for your time

I have upgraded to Mac OS X v10.7 Lion and when I log into mail I can't find my mailboxes other than inbox, draft and sent how do I get my other mailboxes back?
Lion is a bit of a memory hog - kernel_task will use quite a bit and Safari is known to use more; you can't do anything about the system, but changing to Firefox may help a little. The best way to deal with it is to increase your RAM; the required minimum is just that: the minimum. My Macbook would keep crashing and beachballing until I upped the RAM to 4 GB. RAM is inexpensive right now - check out OWC (macsales.com) or Crucial.com; both reputable RAM vendors with lifetime warranties. You won't regret it.
As for iDVD - I purchased the retail iLife 11 disk because of iDVD (because I use that a lot) - it's available at online resellers, the Apple Store, and ebay. -
