Where is the iTunes to/from iPhone pairing information stored

When you sync an iPhone with iTunes it (the iPhone) has a continuted/ongoing relationship with that instance of iTunes. For instance if you try to sync the same IP with another iTunes installation you get prompted to that effect.
What I want to know is where is this information stored on the iTunes installation (for OS X), i.e. what information is this and where is it stored. I assume some UID is stored within iTunes to so that it knows that this partcular iPhone has a relationship with it.
Also I assume there's something stored in the iPhone itself (so that it knows which instance of iTunes it's related to).

Thanks - that works once it occurred to me to display the menu items. The actual solution I used was to enable Photostream on the Apple TV that is linked to a folder in Photostream. The advantage is that the set of photos is automatically updated in iCloud and I don't have to have my PC switched on to get the screensaver working.

Cannot connect to the iTunes store from iPhone

I'm connected to WI-FI. When I touch the iTunes election button, a the above subject message appears. I used the same phone as my previous T-mobile number. I am able to make a call now from my iPhone. It has been less than 24 hours. Cannot locate any doc to help me to get a solution.

Hey coolgem,
Can you browse web pages using Safari?
What is the iPhones IP address? Goto Settings>Wi-Fi>Click the blue(>) next to your network.

Will the iTunes backup (from iPhone) save the library of music on the phone?

I have about 30Gb of music in iTunes. I spent significant time selecting my favorite Songs/Artists to put on the iPhone 4s, since the phone only has 16Gb of memory. I want to make sure the libary of songs I currently have on the iPhone will be restored to the iPhone in the event that I have to restore from iTunes or iCloud. I regularly backup to both iTunes and iCloud. Thanks!

As far as I'm aware, an iTunes backup of your iPod Touch only backs up things such as Apps, and certain other data. It doesn't backup your music.
So assuming that the backup you're referring to is not a specific and separate backup of your music, then no, you will not be able to use the backup to put your music onto the new iPod.
It's a bit late now, but for the future, you need to keep your music etc. in the iTunes Library - and back that music up, preferably to an external drive.
As for your original issue - the speaker on the Touch not turning off when you insert the headphones, have you tried a reset of the Touch? It's certainly the first thing suggested in the iPod Touch forum.

HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

HT201272 You seems not to understand what I mean and what I'm having like problem. I still have my payment recut from October of this year when I bought 9 songs in the iTunes Store from my iPhone 4S. The problem is from all the 9 songs, 7 are still avail

You seems not to understand what I mean and what I'm having like problem. I still have my payment receipt from October of this year when I bought 9 songs in the iTunes Store from my iPhone 4S. The problem is from all the 9 songs I've paid for, only 7 are still available from this list on my iPhone. There is no possibility to download the other 2 without paying for them. I've spoke to the lady from Mississippi on the phone 2 days ago from about 2 hours calling from Belgium but unfortunately she couldn't help me. It's the 3rd time I complain about this. How many time shall I pay for the same songs?? If you can access my music list and my past receipts payment you will be able to find out what I mean. I went back on iTunes I've found the the songs I already downloaded in October that should be on my playlist but if I click on them it will charge me again 0,99 cents. It's been 3 years I've been using the same apple ID with my iPhones. I just wand to get my songs back without having to pay them twice or 3 times

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

For iTunes purchases only..
Connect the iPhone to your Mac, launch iTunes.
If you haven't done this yet, go to the iTunes menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer
Now from the iTunes menu bar again, click File / Transfer Purchases From...

I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts. All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window". But what if you have no device window?

Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
I thought the libraries were the same.

Cannot access iTunes Store from iPhone 4. Message says 'Your iTunes password was incorrect. Please try again'. I have tried resetting the password on my macbook. What should I do?

I'm having the same problem as well. I use keychain access often to remind me of my passwords and was happy (initially) to see one for "iphone backup". When I entered it I got the same error message:
"The password you entered to unlock your iPhone backup file was incorrect. Please try again."
Really frustrating.
I searched many ways online, finally I tried "iPhone Backup Unlocker" to help me unlock encrypted backup password efficiently!

I cannot access the itunes store from my new iphone 4s. Why?

I cannot coonect to the itunes store from my new iphone 4S. Why?

Make sure you have entered your Apple ID and password in settings (under Settings -> Store, Apple ID is at the bottom). Enter the ID and password you use to make purchased in the iTunes store and you should then be able to connect to the store using iTunes on your phone.

I have tried everything to connect to the itune store from in itune, I have tried everything from apple support team, no help. I am able to get everything up on my iphone just not from my PC, Anyone else having this problem

last month I begin having problem connecting to the itune store.from my PC, Have had apple support help but that did no good. Itune will not connect. Tried everything from the troubleshooter page but it did not help. It have been 4 month now. Anyone else have any ideals?

many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Any way of restoring iTunes selections from iPhone back to hard drive?

First, I have been in a series of PC-like disasters ever since I installed Leopard at Christmas--to the point where I've actually given up any hope of getting my data back--and I can only blame this on synching problems between my iPhone, Mac Mini, and iDisk. Given that I am probably to blame; nevertheless, I'm frustrated, angry, and disappointed with Apple.
Having said that, I have my (very expensive) iTunes collection ON my iPhone, but Apple says that I cannot restore it to my Mac Mini, only the other way around.
Does anyone know of any way around this? It does not seem fair, reasonable, or even friendly that I can't take my thousands of UK £££ music and restore it back to my desktop!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

For the series of PC-like disasters regardless where the blame lies for a particular problem or problems, is the reason for maintaining a backup - with multiple backups for the most important data such as iTunes purchased content.
That being said, iTunes includes an option to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone. This is for content purchased from the iTunes Store only.

TS1424 HELLO! whenever i try to access the itunes store from the itunes on my laptop i get this message: ITUNES HAS STOPPED WORKING a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify if a solution is availabl

for a few weeks i have not been able to access the itunes store from the itunes on my laptop. every time i click on it it tells me it cannot access the store...not sure why. and says this: ITUNES HAS STOPPED WORKING a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available.

I had this exact same problem. I found this fix and it worked for me.
Step 1:
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll.
Step 2:
Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
Good Luck.

Why can't you purchase an audio book on the Itunes store from an Apple TV?

Apple seems to be moving everything they sell on Itunes to graphics, away from the traditional text based browse function they started with.
I don't think they've done the most effective job on that move on a PC/Mac, it's sometimes easier just to go through the Apple TV and buy from there and let it just sync and transfer to my Itunes library on my PC.
However, I've noticed that you can't purchase an audiobook from an Apple TV, though you can purchase everything else that can play on an Ipod from there.
Audiobooks just don't show up as an option on the Itunes store from an Apple TV, but they do play on your Apple TV if you purchase them from the Itunes store from the PC or Mac you sync or stream from.
Does anyone know if this is a licensing issue, or yet another oops/oversight on Apple's part? Doesn't seem to make sense, Apple has been pushing tighter and tighter integration between the Itunes store and Apple TV, and it's yet another lost revenue stream on Apple's part that I hope they fix.
If you can buy it from the store, you ought to be able to buy it using your apple TV. Period. Makes as much (non)sense as restricting what content you can purchase if you are buying it from an Iphone vs. a PC vs. a Mac. If you sell content on your store that plays on your devices, then sell it, regardless of which device (that you also make and sell) that your customers access your Itunes store from. It's why they make us sync everything back to Itunes on a computer in the first place.
And yes, while it may sound counter-intuitive to listen to an audio book from a device connected to a TV,
I listen to audiobooks from my Apple TV nightly in my bedroom to go to sleep by, streamed via airtunes to the Aux port on my clock radio by my bed, then turn the TV off and snooze. Works extremely well and has for years now. Beats headphones or futzing with external speakers on an Ipod or trudging upstairs to the room I have my PC in to stream an audiobook to airtunes, then back to bed. With Apple TV, it's pick, click, then turn off the tv and the lights. Sure would be nice to buy an audio book that way also.
Any thoughts on why they would restrict you from buying audiobooks from an Apple TV? To me, it's yet another lost revenue opportunity for impulse buys courtesy of Apple.
