Using another computer then the one I orignally registered on.

My buddy setup his Ipod on my computer because I have high speed internet and he didn't. Now he has high speed and will be using his computer instead of mine. What will he have to do?? Will he lose the music on his Ipod when he plugs it into the computer?? Any help would be great...I am a newbee at the whole Ipod thing.

Hi jaman1,
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 provides detailed information about using the iPod with multiple computers.
He can leave it set to automatically sync which would erase the iPod and automatically sync content from iTunes on his computer. He can also sync the content manually which would not erase any content but allow him to add more. Either way iTunes will prompt him before it erases anything.

HT1473 I have a ton of songs in my itunes that were burned from cd. My computer died so I'm using another computer. The new computer will show all my purchased songs from Itunes, but none of the ones I previously burned from cd

I burned a ton of songs from CD to Itunes and they showed up fine in my library. I bought a new Ipod at the same time my computer died so I'm now using a totally different computer. I logged in to my Itunes from this computer and can see every song purchased from Itunes. What I no longer see are the ones burned from cd.

Does this iPod have the contents of your library? If so see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Otherwise, depending on the nature of the failure, you may be able to extract the hard drive and recover the media from it. Or you will have to rip your CDs again.
If you'd like access to all your media on any device/computer in future you might consider purchasing a subscription to iTunes Match though personally I just maintain my own backup of my library.

How can I add old bookmarks from another computer to the ones I have on my new computer?

My old computer crashed; and was replaced with a new one running Windows 7. I had saved my bookmarks, but couldn't find the thumb drive where they were saved, so began using Firefox on my new computer. Now I have bookmarks saved onto my new computer, but want to upload and merge my old bookmarks. I've only found a way to restore bookmarks that will complete wipe out the new ones. Short of writing down all the new ones and adding them back after restoring the old ones, is there any other way to merge the two?

When I rip a cd, then use another program, then come back to itunes, the cd stops ripping and the cd doesn't show up in the side bar anymore. What's going on here?

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks.

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

So you are trying to connect your iPod Shuffle to another computer you don't normally sync it with is that correct? And it won't charge for some reason? How are you connecting it? To a USB or a USB port located directly on the PC?

Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music? I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music. My other computers are no longer working. Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?

Hi kimcinma!
Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

Moving itunes from external hard-drive to another and using another comput

Hi,
This has probably been posted before but i couldn't find it.
My itunes works on another computer, with the library (Edit->Preferences->Itunes location as g:\itunes), this includes the xml files for the library.
I've now got a new laptop and external hard-drive and want to move the library onto the new hard-drive and use it on the new laptop.
I think i can copy the itunes folder from old hard-drive onto new one, then point the itunes install on the new laptop to the new harddrive and it should pick it up?
Any ideas?
Matt

Welcome to AD!
+this includes the xml files for the library.+
Does this also include the important itunes database file, the one with the ITL file extension?
If so, your idea should work. Use Windows Explorer to copy the ITL & music files/folders over to the new exHD.
Connect the new exHD to your laptop and make sure Windows sees it as drive G:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307844
That is a very important step. Otherwise, iTunes will lose all the paths to the music.
Now start itunes on the laptop by pressing *and holding* the shift key. Tell it to use the ITL file on the G: drive. Then set your iTunes preoferences to have any future additions go to the G: drive music folder.

Use another computer's DVD or CD drive

Hi all.
Both iMacs are on the same network.
One new iMac (no optical drive!!?!).
One other iMac (late 2010), 10.7.5, on which I have activated System Prefs/Sharing/DVD or CD sharing. This iMac is visible in the other's Finder window.
I want to copy a new music CD into my iTunes library on the new iMac. I insert the CD in the old Mac, but nothing happens: in a Finder window, on the drive-less iMac, there is a device, in the sidebar, named "Remote Disc", however, nothing appears here.
Am I doing something wrong? Is the only option to get and attach an external CD drive???
Thanks.

Hi BDAqua.
Sure, the CD does show up on the old iMac. Prefs (on old iMac) are set to launch iTunes for a music CD, iPhoto for a picture CD and DVD Player for a video DVD.
What I did to get around this problem was to copy the contents of the CD into a folder, share that folder and then I was able to access it from the new iMac. Then I imported from the folder to iTunes (on new iMac).
Very cumbersome. And this might not work for all CDs/DVDs...
I do have an external drive somewhere which I never installed. Not even sure what kind of connection it has (FW???). And I don't like the idea of cluttering my (physical) desktop with it...
And there's still the problem of not knowing why the "Use another computer's DVD or CD drive" didn't work...
(Sigh...)

Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

New Windows 8.1 Connected to company NAS, now switching identities with another computer on the NAS

So I recently installed a new Windows 8.1 computer and mapped a network drive to the company NAS. Now, this new computer (let's call it Joe) has switched certain features with another computer on the NAS (let's call it Marie).
- Joe and Marie have switched histories in Chrome
- Joe has Marie's Chrome bookmarks
- Marie can see and access Joe's mapped network drives
- Joe's Chrome automatically brings up Marie's saved IDs and password for email and online databases
However
- Joe's computer identity remains Joe in computer properties
- Other software besides Chrome are acting in the normal, separated fashion
"Joe" has been using the computer a bit since I installed it, so I don't know everything that has been done to the computer. What would make PCs partially switch identity like this, and how do I fix it? Is there some way that
Windows 8 maps network drives differently? Is this a virus (both computers have BitDefender)?

I will have to double check again to make sure I'm telling the truth (I've gone through so many iterations in the past weeks I can't remember which way is up :-) but I believe that the drive was showing in offline files, but that attempting sync (even
repeatedly) did not bring the drive contents back. Which also begs the question, if the user has not made the drive "available offline" why would it be acting like it is? I've considered actually making it available offline, but I don't want
all of that data on his laptop and I'm also concerned that we'd then have more problems as he continues to work for hours and days on his offline copies.
I should also add that I was able to work with the client on Friday and we were able to determine that the VPN is NOT dropping as we're able to ping devices on the LAN side immediately once the files disappear.
Cheers,
Mike
