We have 1 ipod 5, 2 iphone 4s, one computer. Each have own iTunes acct. How can I sync/or download each one to it's own music? I can't plug in one iPhone because it says it's syncing to my acct.
I need help trying to download music to three different devices. iPod5, 2iPhone 4s, one of which is the main name on account. However when I go to plug one of the 4s' in the computer, it starts to sync to my own "named" device, my itunes acct.(needless to say, I don't have any music on the one iphone.) How can I prevent syncing my daughters' ipod, iPhone to my name. They have their own accounts/emails, but we have one computer. Can someone walk me through having each of our own syncing and downloading of songs/cd's? Also, I assume you can only have one iTunes account on one computer, is that correct?
Well not exactly. We've had the same computer for a long time. It started with two ipod 3's. We tried to add a third ipod3 and for some reason were not successful. (it never recognized one of these ipods). Okay, since then we've had an ipod4gen, ( I think I have generations right, not that it matters) anyway, I see in my itunes, that there are three "list" names. However, we now have new devices, an ipod5th gen, and two iphone4s. We don't sync them hardly ever, just plug them into wall for charging. Okay, my daughter(w/ iphone4s) wants music downloaded on hers, and yes as you have already read, when I plug it in it says it's syncing to my iphone. I don't want to mess hers up. So you are saying try to log out of my acct. and log in using her password? I get that part. However at this time I don't have her phone to try this. But like I said, I believe I tried doing that and it still said syncing to my account. So I "pulled the plug". We need three different accounts so they/we can plug in with no hassle from eachothers accounts. This may be a simple fix, but I am not "computer savvy" with this stuff.LOL! Thank you for your help, I truly appreciate your input on this matter!:) (I'll have to try this on hers later today, as far as logging in and out of corrrect itunes accts.).

You might have better luck posting in the iPod Nano forum. You posted in the iPod Touch forum. For an iPod Touch one would start here:

Okay so I have 2 apple accounts. One is newer & one is my old one. The older one still has money from Itunes on it & when I go to log it will not except my password. Then it asked me my date of birth & it says its incorrect.So I tried to go the email route but i never get anything in my email about recovering my password. What do I do?
Hey donnieandjamie31,
It sounds like you are not getting the email to reset your password. If you have a rescue email setup for your Apple ID, the reset password email will be sent there and not your Apple ID email address:
When you provide a rescue email address, all future security emails, such as password resets from iForgot, will be sent to the address provided.
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
You might want to check your other email accounts for the password reset email, including their Spam folders. If you continue to have issues, please contact our Account Security Team:

How do I use ICloud Photo stream on one computer with two differenet Apple Id's. My husband and I each have seperate ID's but one computer.
You have to have an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac to create an iCloud account. However, if you tell your friend to create a shared photo stream and turn on Public Website, he/she will then be able to send you a link that will allow you to view the photos on the internet using your web browser. You would not be able to comment on the photos as this requires an iCloud account, but you would be able to view them.
You can refer your friend to this link for assistance with this: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99. -

Hi, I download the latest version of itunes and i have problem now to sync my iphone with my computer, I have windows 7 home premium service pack 1, can somebody tell me how to fix it. thanks
This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

I would like to install the newest version of Acrobat Adobe into 6 computers. I wonder what tha will cost, for a month and to buy it directly? On one computer we have version 9, and that one we would like to uppgrade to the latest version?
Hi Linafrick,
To install Acrobat 11 on to 6 computers you can purchase Volume License.
But since you want it for only a month you need to purchase Acrobat subscription.
A single subscription is good for 2 computers and the same Adobe ID cannot be used to buy multiple subscription copies of Acrobat.
You can however opt for Creative Cloud for Team license such that you can become the Admin and grant access to the 6 users who wish to install Acrobat on their machines.
Feel free to reach our customer service via chat to know more information: Creative Cloud membership support

i bought a ipod touch 3 i need help on this is there a youtube app that has a cach download to play youtube video's offline within the app if there is one can someone fill me some info on this matter
You can only use apps that are compatible with your dvice and ios version.
The secons gen ipod touch can only go to 4.2.1.
If you are running 4.2.1 then you can only use apps that require 4.2.1 or lower. -
I have a Ipod Touch 2G that is stuck on the "Connect to Itunes Logo" How can I get it back in operating order with out the access to a home computer? Can anybody Help me? I need it back to work.....
Connect the iOS device to your computer restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
i have a ipod touch and i got it for christmas with an iTunes card .the problem is that i downloaded videos and now it said that there is not enough space and i only downloaded 8 and now 5 don't download how do i erase them.can get my money back
Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted. -
I was forced to switch from my original computer to a new one and majority of my iTunes were switched over but my audiobooks did not. Is there any way that I can retrieve them again. If I go to attempt to rebuy it, then it says thhat I technically already bought it but it won't download.
Audiobooks are not available for redownloading, so you need to transfer them from your old computer, or get them from your backup. How did you copy your iTunes contact from your old computer to our new one?

The reference article in question says "Manually manage music and videos" but I only have the option to "Manually manage videos" via the iPad on iTunes. How do I actually manage music?
Edit: classic Apple.If you post from a a question from the bottom of an article's page then you should get its reference, e.g. HT1535 in your case, on the post's title. The ability to edit you post only lasts for 15 minutes and allows you to correct/add extra info.
I get the 'manually manage music and videos' tockbox as described on that article. If you only 'videos' then are you using iTunes Match on your iPad ? I don't use it but I've seen posts that say having it enabled on a device can affect the syncing of music. -
I backed up my iPhone to my computer before I did the ios 8 update and now when i go t restore it it tells me there isnt enough space on the iphone. I lost half of my pictures in my camera roll. Is there anyway i can get these back?
You did import these important photos over to an alternative storage medium, just like you would with any digital camera, right?

IPod Classic shows up in My Computer, but not in iTunes
My iPod Classic shows up in My Computer, but not in iTunes. I've gone through the troubleshooting guide, reset it 3 times and put it in disk mode, reinstalled and updated iTunes and still nothing.
Hey there april_lee!
I have a website for you that can walk you through the troubleshooting steps on your iPod classic. This will help you determine the source of your issue and hopefully get the iPod working for you consistently again. The website can be found right here:
