Why use the ever "hackable" itunes?

For me, the answer was at first simple: itunes was convenient and at first, a real bargin.  Several years later I hold a different opinion because  my account has been hacked twice.  Both times I was out of the US for several months, so the loss of my credit card was a real inconvenience.  Until Apple changes its tune, I can only say "ciao" to itunes. Bye-bye!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
My first thoughts would be interference.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

    I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library? If I click "Erase and Sync," will it delete my contacts, apps, etc?

    Can I use the apps that itunes downlading to my PC on my PC.  If not can I delete them off of my PC without messing it up on my ipad?

    Yes, you keep them for your iPad. If your hard drive space is at such a premium, then you should get a larger drive or add an external drive to which you can copy off some of your other files. Everything you download, add to, or purchase through iTunes for your iPad will take up more and more space.

    Hi,
    To me it seems that some parameter is passed (but i doubt why somebody would be passsing "|") to the sql file during the run time.
    One reason could be to tell the file what is the deliminator. Is this the case for you?

  • I Try registering my card in order to use the services of Itunes so that always appears refused payment method, what should I do?

    I Try registering my card in order to use the services of Itunes so that always appears refused payment method, what should I do?

    If you are referring to a credit card and it being refused, then something is probably wrong with the entry of the card or your account information. It is not matching what is on file for your account. Generally this is the address field. Make sure it matches what you see on your bill exactly. Otherwise, you need tocontact iTunes support. http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Why is the text on itunes squashed and compacted?

    For some reason, all of the text on itunes is very small and overlap each other. Not sure why this happens but it is very annoying and blocks some of the features. The picture is an example of what I mean.

    Another example from the Stairlifts.html page where <b>&lt;font&gt;&lt;u&gt;....&lt;font&gt;&lt;u&gt;</b> appears and even if corrected wouldn't be closed in the correct order.
    <pre><nowiki><div id="Grtf338" class="dfltc">
    <center><h1><font color="991c1d" size="5" face="arial black"><u>BRUNO STAIRLIFTS<font><u></h1>
    </div>
    </nowiki></pre>
    This should be with the second <b>&lt;font&gt;&lt;u&gt;</b> changed to <b>&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</b>
    <pre><nowiki>
    <div id="Grtf338" class="dfltc">
    <center><h1><font color="991c1d" size="5" face="arial black"><u>BRUNO STAIRLIFTS</u></font></h1>
    </div>
    </nowiki></pre>

  • How can I use the app in itunes to find my iphone 4S

    I've gone to itunes to use the find myiphone app but it doesn't do anything.  I went to Apps and that is where I see the app.  I need to find my phone.
    Sandy

    Was the "Find My iPhone" feature enabled on the device prior to it beling lost?  If it was not, the only way to find the device is to physically look for it.
    If the feature was enabled, go to www.iCloud.com and search for the device.  As long as the device is powered on and connected to a network (wi-fi or cellular) it can be tracked.

  • Can Multiple ipods use the same computer/itunes program

    I recently purchased two ipods for different family members. Can both be used on the same computer. I seem to remember seeing a blurb in the user agreement for itunes that said the program was only for one ipod. Can anyone elaborate?

    When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library
    b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
    c) Creating multiple user accounts.
    Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
    Sharing a Library and/or User Account
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
    Multiple Libraries
    It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    *Separate User Accounts*
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here: Create A New User Account In Vista

  • How do I separate my daughters devices from my icloud but use the same apple itunes account?

    How can I separate my daughters icloud account but keep the same apple itunes account?

    To migrate her device to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos she keep to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If she is syncing any notes with iCloud that she wants to keep on her device, you'll need to open each of them and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your devices won't be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload her data.  (If she has multiple devices, she can go through this same process on the others, but choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted as the data has now already been migrated to the new account.)
    Once you are both on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account if you need to.
    You can continue to share the same iTunes ID.  The ID used for iCloud does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes.

  • 12.0.1 Upgrade - Sidebar not apparent in order to use the "drag" from iTunes and "drop" to connected device

    I found a workaround but I am opening a new discussion for my specific issue as noted in my subject. Search "iTunes 12 sidebar missing".
    Per denali_uk on Oct 21, 2014 12:29 AM:
    "Actually this feature is still available but it's not very obvious. If you grab a bunch of tunes from one of the Music lists and drag them to the left, a temporary sidebar appears with your attached devices and playlists. You can drag the songs into an existing playlist, or to an empty space where it will create a new one. The sidebar will then disappear, and you'll have to click on one of the Playlist tabs if you want to edit anything. Awful design".
    I apologize to those readers who use this site "correctly" but I did not know how else to accomplish this.

    Argh... Found that I cannot drag new playlists to the device icon that appears on the taskbar of itunes. If I display the playlists in itunes I can select 1 then scroll up to the my ipod where it appears further up the list and then drop the item into the ipod. This appears to be a great step forward for Itunes but you must drag and scroll the list to find your device one at a time as selecting items with the shift or ctrl buttons pressed has no effect.
    Itunes at version 12+ you would think it would be easier not harder to load content.

  • Updated iPhoto could no longer use the music from iTunes library for slideshow

    Anybody checked if you can still use your music from iTunes library for slideshows?
    After updating both iPhoto and iTunes to the latest version in Mavericks, all music links in the iPhoto's slideshows became invalid. Tried even to re-establish the music links, but it seems like the iPhoto would not play any music from the iTunes library. Only the sample music from iPhoto is usable. The iTunes works fine by the way.
    Thanks a lot!

    I think I found a workaround that seemed to correct the problem. In iTunes, go to the File menu and choose Library. Then select Organize Library. Next choose Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media".  Click OK.
