When i downlaod itunes it changes my computer icons to itunes
Help me
During the installation you chose to make iTunes the default player for those file types.
To change it back, right-click on the file > Properties > on the General tab > Change > Select the default application you want and chekc the "Always use the sected program to open this kind of file" box.

Can i change the "computer" icon from the "luxo lamp" iMac to a 20" iMac?
Hi,
In the finder (and File > Open dialog box), the icon that represents my computer is an image of the "luxo lamp" iMac (the one with the dome base).
Since my Mac is a current 20" intel Mac, I'd like to change the icon to one that looks like my actually computer. Is there a way to do this?
If there is no easy way to choose a different icon, then seems to be it nearly qualifies as a defect -- why show a picture of my Mac that doesn't look like my Mac? Surely all of us (MacBook users, Mac Mini users, iMac users) would prefer the icon to default to the model of our actual machine?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

20" intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2 gig Ram, x1600 128Meg videoYes you can change it, I have done so in the past, but if you run a combo update it gets changed back, so I haven't bothered lately--although since we're now at 10.4.9 that will no longer be a problem.
You need a way to create and edit icns files and a willingness to mess with system files. You then go here:
"/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/iMac.icns"
When you get to the CoreTypes.bundle you need to use the Contextual Menu and select Show Package Contents, then continue travelin' on down. Copy the iMac.icns file by dragging to your Desktop (it won't move out of the original folder), open the copy in an icns editor and modify it to what you want, then save. Next drag your modified file into the Resources folder--you'll be asked to Authenticae in order to do that thing, and asked if you want to replace the original, when you say yes you will have to give your admin password. You will then need to restart to see the change.
If you've never done this sort of thing before and don't know a thing about icns files, nor have an icns editor installed (there's one in Developer Tools), it probably isn't worth it.

How do you change the default computer icon that lists your computer name in the sidebar to a custom icon? CandyBar doesn't let me change the computer icon. Is there a way to do it?
There are several different ways to do it. See my article on custom icons in Leopard:
http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/icons/icons.html
If the Preview method doesn't work, using a .png file, be sure to click on the link provided to try some of the other methods. If all else fails (and it has for me a time or two) you can add an icon for a drive using an icns file and the Terminal. But let's hope one of the other methods works.

Two days ago I changed my apple id. Itunes recognizes my new apple id when I access itunes via the computer. when I try to make a purchase or update my apps on my iphone, it asks to give the password to the old apple id. How do i change it on my iphone?
Apps and music are forever tied to the Apple ID under which they were purchased. If you don't want to continue to get that message, delete the apps and purchase them again with your new Apple ID.

I have audio books that are on my ipod touch, but when I hook it up to my computer to make changes they don't show up. I can't add new music, because it keeps telling me I am out of room. When I go to the book tab at the top it doesn't show any so I can't take them off. How do I get them to show up?
iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
Media is only where the user puts it.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. -
Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:
First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services". I'm not sure what this really means...
The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music. I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
Anyone have any ideas?I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

When I plug my phone into the computer nothing happens. The phone doesn't respond the computer doesn't show anything and ITunes doesn't show anything!
I would not worry too much about the charging aspect of the computer connection for now. I did notice that the last time I connected my iPhone to my computer the iTunes had changed and the only way I could determine that my iPhone was connected was by noticing a box at the upper right on the computer screen vs. the older graphical interface which showed the connected iPhone in a column on the left of screen. My iPhone did not turn on and did not charge. However the iPhone was connected and I could in-fact select Sync from one of the iTunes pull-down menus. Again, for quite some time I though my iPhone was not triggering the computer at all when I connected it. I use an iMac.

While downloading the latest iTunes version, my computer turned off. When I opened iTunes, it says that "The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" Help please
That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
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. 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.
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!

Trying to download itunes software to my PC, error message comes up saying I don't have sufficient admin to make changes to computer, I am looged in as admin? windows7 64bit
Try this. Go to the location where you downloaded the itunes installer file on your computer. Right click on the file and choose "Run as Administrator". See if it will let you complete the installation when you do this. Hope that helps.

Can I still save all my apps, etc in my iphone if I am changing my computer thus downloading and installing new itunes?
While this might not be the best method, I have found it best served what I needed when transferring my iphone 4 contacts to my new iphone 5s:
http://goo.gl/AYrQNN
First, I don't have a Gmail account, and even if I had, I would not wish to mix my email addresses with my iphone address book by syncing Gmail with my iphone address book. As a result, I used the above method in order to manually export my iphone contacts to my computer and in turn import them to my new iphone. -
i have installed photoshop 13 version 32 bits. i have changed my computer and must reinstall version 64 bits. When i try to dawload i have an error message error 7 and 6. How can I succed reinstalling photoshop?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

i bought itunes match but after change my computer ( account is the same)..why i need to buy itunes match again?
When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing! -

-Transfer iTunes purchases to the compuer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discusssed here:
Copy music
- Connect the Ipd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not contain synced media like apps and music. -
We bought a used Ipod Touch from a private party. We can download music when it's hooked up to the computer but can't download any games or songs by using the wifi. How can we change the password so we can do this?
You should restore the the iPod to totally erase the iPod and add your own media to the iPod.
Connect the iPod to your computer and restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes.
