Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter

I currently have 5th generation 30GB ipod that I use in my car with a cables to go

3.5 mm to Dock Connector Audio Cable.



I want to upgrade to a 32GB touch and was wondering if I use the Apple Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter and connect it to my cables to go cable in my car will the touch give me a line out audio signal so I can listen in my car?



Hope that this makes sense.



Thanks

Reboot during Restore (4S)

I bought an iphone and it's stuck on restore mode. I've tried absolutely everything. Update itunes, different usb cords/ports/computers, redsn0w, tinyumbrella, host file manipulations. I've done my research I promise.



Once you turn on the iphone, it goes straight into recovery mode. Itunes will recognize it and it will begin to restore, but once it begins, the iphone reboots and goes back in to restore more, which explains error 9. I just don't know why it does that or how to fix it.



Previous owner said he did not jailbreak it, but I'm not sure I believe him.

Smart Playlist Definitions Transferrings.

I've just moved my OS and Programs to a new SSD from my regular HDD and need help with my Smart Playlists.



I have 35,000 tunes in iTunes, stored with the iTunes program and all that comes with it, on an external HDD. As you can imagine (and many of you probably know) with that many tunes you need everything to be meticulously organised, or you'd never find anything. To that end I have over 500 Smart Playlists that cover my entire library. It's a simple system that works...but takes a long time to set up. I've done it from scratch twice before and it is time consuming and a little soul destroying, but the end results are essential.



I'm unwilling to spend the next few weeks setting them up for a third time. So, I need to find the file that has all my Smart Playlist definitions and transfer it into a new iTunes install on my SSD.



In previous iTunes builds I think it was the .xml file...but that seems to be a thing of the past. I could export the playlists individually as a HTML file then import them later, but that is still very very time consuming.



Does anyone know the exact location of my Smart Playlist Definitions??? I'll be your absolute best friend until my dying breath if you can help and save me the headache I currently face.



Thanks in advance!!



EDIT:Please don't ask me why I have so much music, or why I feel the need to have so many Smart Playlists. I have worked this system to suit my needs and it works brilliantly.



...until I have to move them.

Updating library: How not to lose playcount/rating info?

Setup:

• iTunes account shared by family members.


• One Mac mini connected to NAS drive is the single "administrator" of the library. In other words, everyone uses the mini to add songs to library. This iTunes is set to maintain/update library.


• All other computers/iTunes are set to not update their libraries. They all point to the iTunes library on the NAS and use the "Add to Library" command when they want to update their song list.

My iTunes is on my MBP. I use my iPod classic much more than iTunes to listen/rate music. When I plug my iPod into the MBP, it updates my ratings and playcounts when I sync.



This setup has worked well for me for years -- except in the following situation:



I'm starting to clean up the library on the Mini, doing things like fixing tags, consolidating Genres, etc. Of course, the Mini has no problem with this, the problem is when I want to sync the NAS library with the remote iTunes...



If I "Add to Library", the songs on the remote iTunes don't update. The song file is still the same, only the MP3 tags have been updated, and apparently, just doing that doesn't trigger an update in the remote iTunes.



I could delete the songs from the remote iTunes and reload everything. It doesn't take that long and everything would be updated/current, but I would lose all my playcounts and ratings.



Hopefully all that is clear enough!



So the question is...



Is there a way to update my remote iTunes list of songs to get the new/updated MP3 tags without losing my playcounts/ratings?

Security questions-apologies if asked before

Hi



Bought ipod 5 for my son two days ago to replace his ipod 4. He set it up and then used his existing iTunes account to validate a gift card. He then tried to download some apps but the system prompted him for answers to 3 security questions etc.



I know this issue has been around for some time but has only affected us now and I can't find a solution despite research.



We are prompted for answers to two security questions: Name of teenage friend and car he hates. My son is only 10 and would have been about 7 when he had his last ipod so neither of these would have been selected anyway. My son seems to think he was prompted for info originally but neither he nor my wife can recall questions or answers!! My wife is also adamant that we were never asked for a "rescue email"



I know I can create anew iTunes account for him with a new email address but that won't allow us to use the credit on the gift card already allocated.



Is there a simple way to reset the security questions in settings using his current iTunes account?



Many thanks for your time.

Itunes won't sync on multiple ipods

Please help! After several years of working without an issue, I tried to sync my music recently (the only changes were that I edited existing playlists, no new music was added or deleted.

The issue appeared as follows:

- Firstly I saw error 69. I removed all music that appeared to be an error (given that no songs had given this error beforehand, I don’t understand why all of a sudden itunes wouldn’t allow my ipod to sync with songs it had previously synced)

- Once I had removed these songs, I attempted again to sync, but itunes now just freezes mid sync (sometimes on a song, sometimes not). Sometimes itunes will sync a song, and sometimes it will freeze on that same song and state “error 69”

- I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. The issue remained.

- I uninstalled and reinstalled my entire music library. The issue remained. I created new music libraries that do not have any songs from my previous music library. The issue remained.

- I have attempted to sync another ipod, which previously worked. It experiences the same issue now. Both ipods now, every time I attempt to sync, request me to restore defaults and scan and fix issues with the ipods. Sometimes I do so, but it makes no difference.

- In summary: itunes will not sync even if uninstalled and reinstalled. I have tried syncing two different ipods, both of which synced without issue previously, but neither will sync now. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling and creating a new music library, but itunes still will not sync.

Calendar Day View bug?

Noticed in last few days a new issue with the calendar - seems to only affect the DAY VIEW rather than week/month/list so must be something to do with local iOS rather than iCloud (my calendars are iCloud based)...

Seems to affect only my appointments with extend over 2 dates - eg from 2100hrs until 0700hrs next morning.

Problem is that these appointments will literally DISAPPEAR when viewing the calendar in day view. If I switch to week view they are all showing present and correct - if I then switch back to day view they will reappear - only to disappear again the next time I open the calendar.

My iPhone, which shares same iCloud calendars does NOT have same problem.

iTunes Gift Card Problem

On the 15th of August I received an itunes gift card with a balance of $100 from a reputable seller. I resold the gift card on the 20th. I later received a message from the buyer saying the card had already been redeemed. After talking with iTunes, they said the card was redeemed on the 18th. When I received the card, it had not been tampered with in any way, the activation code cover was pristine and had not been scuffed or peeled. I live by myself and keep my card in a safe. After checking my calendar, on the 18th I was not home, however I am the only one with the code to the safe and nothing was stolen from my home or anything. Itunes also said that it was not redeemed by the person who sold it to me or by the person I sold it to, nor by me. What do I do?? The card was not redeemed by any of the parties involved and Apple will not tell me who redeemed it, and whoever did was the one who scammed me! If I open a case there is no way I would win! All eBay would say is that it was redeemed during my possession and thats that. Please help me figure something out. Apple knows who redeemed it but I have no way of finding out! Does eBay and Apple have any sort of system set up to help each other out in Apple related dispute cases? I do not want to contact law enforcement because they wont care at all, yet they are the only ones iTunes would provide that information to. I asked apple if they could contact the redeemer of the card and ask them if it is okay to release that information, but they wont! Could someone using one of those new random number generating apps that supposedly find iTunes card numbers using a certain algorithm have found my activation code? PLEASE HELP!!

Updating to iOS 6.13 from 6.01, answers needed - please..!!

Hello guys, it's been a long time since I posted in here, but, I still visit every now and then. Ok, to business...



I've had an iPod Touch 5 32GB running iOS 6.01 for about 2 months now. Like all other iPods I have, or have had, I mainly use it to only to play music and video's. Just lately though I have been seeing lots of other apps and even games that can be installed on it. After googling I also see there are lots of later iOS's available - 6.12, 6.13, 7.xx beta etc etc. I am now wondering if I can update to maybe 6.12 or 6.13 easily. Is it even legal to do so? I see the downloads of these updated versions of iOS on a handful of sites, but, each time I wonder which to download, I keep seeing them in reference to "jailbreaking", and the iOS files are huge, usually around 900mb or more. I don't know how you guys feel about this jailbreaking thing. I'd only heard of it but never entertained the idea of actually doing it, although the extra possibilities, once done, seem quite a bit better from an owners point of view, so maybe one day I might think about it,, just not right now...



Anyway - Questions...

1. Is it leagal to download and/or install and use any of these updated iOS's?

2. Can you update only, that is, to update but not jailbreak or are these updates a prelude to jailbreaking only?

3. Depending on the above, how do you do it?



I'm sure I watched a video which showed this update method being done through iTunes,, something to do with the restore button then browsing to one of the updates and letting iTunes "do it",, but I could be wrong...



Can any of you help me here..?? Thanks...



Oh, (edit in)... Can you tell me how to update, if legal please??

Need Help Updating BPM Info

I am in the process of trying to update my library of about 10,000 songs with bpm information. It looks like most people think mixmeister's bpm analyzer is the tool of choice, but it does not work with m4a files. I need a little guidance..



What I've done already:

I allow iTunes to keep my media folder organized. I went through the process of consolidating my files... So I'm sure I have all of my media in the correct folders in my iTunes library... Also - I use iTunes match, and have already used this service to upgrade my songs to the higher bit-rate aac versions. Therefore, more than 90% of my library are m4a files. I bought a program, 'Switch Sound File Converter Plus' which converted my entire m4a library to mp3 in a separate folder ($29.99), which I then ran mixmeister on.



So... Now what???

I'm not sure what exactly to do now that I have 2 sets of music - 1 that iTunes is still 'pointing' to, and 1 that contains the BPM information... I am tempted to Delete all music from iTunes, move the old library to a different directory, move the updated mp3 files to the existing iTunes Music folder (where the original files were) and then importing the folder into iTunes... Would this work? What would happen with iTunes match? Should I backup my library? Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

Music found in two folders with duplicates

My apologies if this question has been asked before...

Recently one of my playlists "disappeared." I searched a few forums and tried a few suggestions, but I felt the best resolution was to retrieve the iTunes library files from my backup. This worked fine, but I noticed one of the songs I recently imported was no longer in iTunes, but still could be found within the iTunes folder in Finder. I didn't think this was a big deal and something must have happened to the library database that caused it to crash. But this prompted me to start looking at the folders and files in my iTunes library. First I noticed that I had the same music in two locations:



myHomeFolder>Music>iTunes>iTunes Media>Music and myHomeFolder>Music>iTunes>Music



But I found they were not exactly the same after checking the info of both music folders. I found the music in the iTunes Media>Music folder was about 4 times the size of the other. After viewing the files in the folders of the iTunes Media>Music folder I found there are duplicates of every song in every album in this folder. In some cases there are three copies of the same song.



Note that the same song is found within the same album folder. For instance: within the Adele 19 album/folder I have the following files:







And the one iTunes is using is:







My first question is why do I have two different locations for my music? It appears that iTunes is only using the files in the iTunes Media>Music folder. Can I delete the iTunes>Music folder?



Why do I have two and three duplicates of the same song? How did this happened? What do I do about it? Should I leave everything as is? Should I start deleting files? How do I prevent this from happening again?



I am using a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8.4 and iTunes 11.0.5. I allow iTunes to consolidate my files and reorganize the files.

Kingston MobileLite Wireless comments

I bought this primarily for backing up photos shot on my DSLR on travel. I found that a USB hard drive will work if it's formatted in FAT32 or ExFAT. Since my Mac can read those formats, it's not a problem to format a drive in that fashion. Using their app, I was able to transfer RAW and JPG files from the SD card to the hard drive.



One caveat, the app doesn't make it easy to transfer a lot of files. You have to select then one at a time. If the app was updated to allow for selecting groups of files, it'd be easier.



But, the point is that it works!

Bose Soundlink With Apt-x

I have a bose soundlink 2 that I plugged in an avantree saturn bluetooth adapter with apt-x in the 3.5mm output.

I must say that the soundlink does sound much, much better with apt-x technology and 256-320kbps mp3's.

I asked Bose whether they will ever incorporate apt-x in their products, but they were somewhat vague in saying it may be a consideration for the future.

I actually wish that I would have purchased a different high end bluetooth speaker that has apt-x technology such as the sony btx-500.

I suppose that when apt-x becomes more widespread in devices (most specifically apple products), then more companies will use apt-x bluetooth as a standard.

It makes no sense to stream through regular bluetooth when you have quality music files that cannot be heard fully given that normal A2PD only streams at 192kbps. (?)

Does anyone know whether a firmware upgrade for the soundlink could somehow incorporate an apt-x update?

I want to be able to check out books online and download them to my iPod. So far, I can not see what I have already listened to on my iPod. Also, when I attempt to TRANSFER a WMA formated book to my iPod it goes real fast and it doesn't appear on my iPod. I may have given too many concerns.

iTunes doesn't Stay Open Full Screen

Over the past couple weeks, my iTunes page does not stay open full screen. I can hit the maximize on the top right hand corner, the page will go full screen. But if i leave iTunes and return to the page , it returns to half screen.



I have tried to stretch out the window then close iTunes in order to save the setting like in Windows but the save setting doesn't take.



Am I missing something in making the full screen setting stick? Its very annoying. :confused:

Battery replacement...Do not Send to United Camera, Bensenville, IL

RIP OFF---DO NOT DEAL WITH UNITED CAMERA, BENSENVILLE, IL. Recently I sent a working Ipod (5th gen, Nano) with a quickly discharging battery for a battery replacement to United Camera. I found them on the web. I sent a check for $35 to cover the stated cost of the repair. About a week ago I got a call with a gal saying that there was corrosion and that it would cost over $200 to make the necessary repairs. I told her that the unit was not worth that and to send it back. Today I go my Ipod back and it no longer works at all. To make matters worse, they KEPT THE ENTIRE $35. So now I have a broken Ipod, am out my $35. Please pass this along to anyone having an Ipod problem...don't deal with this company. Sure they will make the argument that it took $35 of labor and postage and handling to check it out and send it back to me. BTW, they didn't even replace or send me a battery that I could install.



With nothing left to loose at the moment, I plan to go to youtube and find a video to replace the battery myself. I should have done this in the first place. Lessons learned! Fair warning to all...Do Not Deal With UNITED CAMERA, BENSENVILLE, IL.

Syncing "Last Played" on Two Macs

Hi all —



I have one playlist that I primarily listen to: "Not Heard in Six Months." It's a Smart Playlist that plays songs with a "last played" of more than six months.



I listen to this on my iMac at home and my MacBook Pro at work. I'd love to find a way of syncing the two iTunes library so I don't repeat songs I've just heard.



I found a nice app called SuperSync that syncs everything… But not "last played." When I wrote to the developer, they said that Apple doesn't allow them to sink that. That's so weird — I obviously am not the only person who works this way.



Does anyone have a solution?



Thanks very much…

iTunes 10.6 vs iTunes 11

Hi I'm still using iTunes 10 and I'm wondering a few things. Most important is, if I don't upgrade will iTunes eventually not be able to read my library files, causing me to rebuild it from scratch? The other thing is, is iTunes 11 very different and are there problems or features that are hard to get used to?

Using one itunes database across two macs

I currently run a 2010 MBP (500gb hd) at home and on the road and a 2013 Imac (1Tb hd) at work. I have a large lossless itunes library of about 300gb and would like to increase the library further.



My MBP started running slowly and I realised that my iTunes library was choking the whole computer. I started to explore ways to store my library on a remote disk and bought a G drive 1Tb portable drive.



My efforts to carry out the transfer were only partially successful with most of my library transferring but a significant number of tracks displaying the ! sign which means they couldn't be located.



I have also got an Imac at work and what I had hoped to achieve was to have my iTunes database on the 1tb portable drive and use the portable disk on both my MBP and iMac.



Our technical support company are dubious about whether this will work because the local specific itunes library data on each machine will differ and each machine will not operate correctly with the underlying data on the portable drive.



I am not very technical and I am finding it difficult to follow the various posts on this board and elsewhere. Many seem to comment on splitting their library across multiple disks but I cant really seem to get to the bottom of storing my library on one disk and using it across multiple computers.



Is what I am trying to achieve practical?



If it is, can someone point me to an article/post please? Or alternatively could someone explain how I might achieve my goal.



Thanks in a advance for your help.

Manually adding new tracks/syncing

I'm sure this has been answered, so I apologize for making it a new topic. I've searched the forum for answers, but I'm either missing it, or incorectly performing the necessary steps. Anyway, here's my issue.



Got a 64gb Ipod Touch and have added about 2300 songs to it. I have large cd collection, and generally just copy the entire cd to Itunes(version 11). In some cases, I have decided to leave the song in Itunes, but not copy it to the Ipod. To do this, I have used the manually add feature, and selected the songs to copy. I was doing this in Itunes version 10, but stupidly upgraded to version 11.



I'm now having trouble adding a few songs when I add 1 or 2 new cds to Itunes. The last 2 times, I've done this, I've somehow zapped the songs from my Ipod, then it begins to copied all 2300 songs back to the Ipod.



What setting am I messing up? I want to simply rip the new cd to Itunes, and then move the new tracks to the Ipod, without deleting the current tracks. I thought I could simply drag and drop. Am I messing this up by having something set wrong in the SYNC settings?



Please help. I can't keep killing 1-2 hours to re-sync 2300 songs each time I want to add a few new tracks.:o

iTunes disaster. Please help.

Recently I was forced to reinstall my OS. I found that my iTunes was gone (10.6.3 which I had previously downgraded to form 11 using Pacifist). Now, when I try to download either 10.7 or 11 (which I despise), I'm told I don't meet the system requirements. Nor will it allow me to download 10.6.3. I tried to use Pacifist again to open 10.6.3 and this failed.



The other problem is that even if I could get my old iTunes back, I assume it won't open my music which (due to an earlier f-up, is in two separate folders). If I had iTunes again, I don't know how to direct the music (and the art and notes I painstakingly attached) to the program.



No idea what to do. Any assistance would be hugely appreciated.

Had Enough...

For 3 days I have tried everything but throwing this thing out the window to get the restore to fix. I had no issues or problems with my touch until I plugged it into my puter 3 days ago to add some new songs. Now, I'm stuck in restore hell. There is no errors. It gets part of the way through, and then nothing. I've listened to all those stupid kids on youtube and tried any tutorial I could to fix this and at this point I'm really ready to just chuck this thing out my nearest window into a garbage bin. Has anyone else had this happen? And is it fixable?



Also, if you reply to this... yes, I'm sure searching this forum for days would help me to find the answer, but some of us have jobs. (this was an issue for some on another forum, just getting that out of the way now). Yes, I am old. Thank you. I don't understand anything you say, so talk like I know nothing. It will save all of us time.



Now. Things I have tried...

reboot, both computer and a total re-instal of itunes.

some strange program called tinyumbrella

tried the DFU thing a few times

listened to kids on youtube and/or adults that I couldn't understand

read a million tutorials and haven't understood a one.



Also... just a side comment... a "jailbreak" to me means someone digging into a sewer line, dragging himself through someone else's poop with a shank clenched his teeth to escape Attica prison during the riots.

Screen replacement FAIL?!

Hey!



Cracked my screen after 2 years of use on my iPod touch 4th gen..



Bought a brand new screen online from a reputable source for around 23 dollars or so..



New screen came, looks great, digitzer was protected, screen was protected, everything..





I had already chiseled out the screen and glue and cleaned up the chassis of my iPod nicely before the screen came from quick installation.



Screen came today, started unscrewing the base, popped off the metal plate carefully without damaging ribbon cables.. I do believe I severed the blue cable on the speaker (unless it's always cut in half, since I can't find the other end) but I hear that's common, so I don't really feel dumb! :D



Unscrewed board, popped off rear-camera bracket, wiggled out front camera, carefully lifted the board, removed old screen, put in new one, worked in reverse..



Did everything as the instructions told me, but I get a whitescreen!



Now, I've done my research on this very thoroughly, and almost everyone says that it happens when you attach the new LCD when the battery is on, which is logical.. New hardware would obviously cause a confusion, but the common fix of HOME+POWER, or the one with the volume up did NOT fix it..



I backtracked many times, taking it apart and trying again, checking everything carefully.. Everything seems fine..



Now, my iPod happened to be jailbroken, so I went ahead and put it into DFU mode and restored it on iTunes, which I totally regret because I sucked up losing my data.. I figured after the restore the chances of it being fixed were high, but when nothing changed, it made the effects of losing all my data ever worse!



I also heard that the very very little connectors near the LCD port that you covered by a little bit of foam can disconnect and that has caused white screens, but mine seem sturdy..



I feel like I've gone through all of the troubleshooting tips that I've found on the internet, but I'm sure someone's got a tip out there?



I also try to never resort to calling the LCD screen faulty, because it's rather rare nowadays to get a faulty piece of equipment.. and I'd rather not have to go through the hassle of returning it if the replacement is going to do the exact same thing..



What are some other things I can try to do to fix it? Components I should check? Things I should try?



Thanks,

-Yebba

iTunes hangs

Hi everybody,



I posted this problem a week or two ago, and full credit goes to "cjmnews" for dedicating so much time and advice, which was very helpful.



His solutions help to fix problems I didn't realise I had, but iTunes still hates me!



I'm posting the issue again with new information in the hope that it has a bearing on the problem and might lead to a solution. Sorry if it's a bit long!



Here goes! (and many thanks in advance for any advice)!



The problem is iTunes store music previews.

iTunes in library mode works fine.

iTunes store searches for everything except music works fine.

iTunes music searches are a nightmare, particularly if the search result is a long list. (Why does Apple not allow a search to be refined or filtered????)



When I search for a song that produces a long list of results the probelm arises.



Let me use an example:



I search for a song called "Song of Joy".

I get the results OK, but it includes lots of other irrelevant results including albums of that name, and other songs NOT called "Song of Joy" but songs containg the word "joy" such as "Ode to Joy" etc.



I organise by name so that I can scroll down to the results I an interested in, and click the preview button.

The music starts playing, but iTunes just hangs. I can't stop the music and move on to another preview.

I need to Ctrl/Alt/Delete into Task Manager and kill iTunes. (BTW, the music continues playing throughout this process).



I did a test by going through the above procedure and visiting the Computer Managment Event Viewer and got this result:



The program iTunes.exe version 11.0.4.4 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

Clean up duplicate files on iPad

I have a 64GB 'pad and I've noticed several dupe tracks on it, but when I connect to iTunes the "show duplicate items" choice is greyed out; I guess it only works for the iTunes library itself and not for devices. As an experiment I tried intentionally adding dupe tracks and it let me add any # of copies I wanted to the 'pad. That's crazy! Is there some option to disallow or alert you to multiple copies (like when you try to copy a dupe file to a folder) or at least show them? I have more than 64GB of music so I manually manage the content. To be absolutely clear: I have NO duplicate tracks in my iTunes Library, I have an unknown # of duplicate tracks spread through various playlists on my iPad. Each playlist shouldn't need it's own copy of the file, right?

I am running the latest version of iTunes on a 2012 MacBook Pro. I have a recurring problem where tracks in iTunes won't play at all when I click on them even though they are still connected to a file in the iTunes library.

This is happening a lot! I did a diagnostic on my two external hard drives (where I keep all my music files) and disk utility says they are OK.



One thing I've noticed is that on one of these dead tracks, the mini thumbnail of the artwork in the iTunes library won't appear for a track that is dead. The working tracks retain the mini thumbnail artwork.



Please help. The Apple Support pages say nothing on how to actually resolve this problem without re-importing the CD. Thanks.

Neither of these worked. It used to work fine. In fact I loaded one book in and then it just quit converting them. They show up as music files still. If I sort thru my music artists, I can find the files. The individual files will not allow me to change anything, only of I do all the files together will it give me the options to change to audiobook. When I do this, it does nothing.

Change use/authorized account on an app

Hi



Is it possible to change an authorized user on an app?



I needed an older version of an app no longer available from Apple, and found a copy of the app I needed but it is authorized to someone else.



Thanks

When I updated an app, it locked me out, have I lost the contents?

I bought the "professional" version of Documents, by Savy Soda.



It was everything I dreamed for, in multiple folders, creating multiple types of Docs, editing, etc. !



I recieved an upgrade notice, and did so (my oops was not backing up first).



After It the upgrade, I tried to open it, and it is locked.



The App was password protected, but the password window does not shoe!!



I looked for a method to contact them, but I have not seen any results, yet.



On my reciept, it as "report problem" but since None have been reported, apparently I cannot report one?



This is a first time issue for me, I love my iPad Mini, and so far, if I don't like the App, I delete it, find a better one.



This has me stumped.



Do I deete the App, and start over, if so, do I lose the existing files, of will I be asked what I want to do with them?



I do use a second Documents type App, another Boughten and paid for, not "free" but I prefer the SavySoda one, Until Now!!!



Thanks, in advance,



A Rookie iPad user,



Philip

Cant Play songs on my itunes

Hi, I believe I am the most inept when it comes to this and the problem may not be all in the itunes per se as I might have done something in my computer and I have not been able to get any assist from Apple as I do not know my serial number that is valid to them so I cannot connect.

I have 793 songs on my itunes and have been accessing them for years and just yesterday I loaded some songs onto itunes not from itunes and these are out there but all other songs I cannot play even though they show on itunes library. (Cannot locate file). Somehow or other my PC has set up a file in C drive that is listed as VALUED CUSTOMER and that is what my PC now is listed as user and I see Itunes is listed under that file but that file I believe has been deleted.



I rest my PC to an earlier date to no avail and would like to get the itunes file to function but am at a complete loss.



When I go into my computer - my docs - my music - there is no file/folder listing Valued Customer and no music in the my music folder. Can I get this back by connecting my ipod to the PC and transfer back the file. I don't want to lose the music on my ipod........Thanks I hope.

iPad mini - screen BLACK but it's on...not working after screen replaced

I have an ipad mini 32 gb ATT carrier, white.



I dropped it on a corner, shattered screen, bonked corner in. Took it to a local place for a screen repair.



Screen is no longer cracked but now it doesn't work. First day was ok. Then it started needing a hard reset every time I woke it up. Then it goes entirely black.



The screen is entirely BLACK no light. Won't light up with a hard reset. My Itunes can "see" the ipad, backup, update software etc.



The power level is fine, it's actually ON because if you press the home and start button quickly it takes a quick photo (I can hear the click sound). It's on, the screen is just dark.



Dude fixing it has tried twice. It works for a couple of hours before it does this. He filed down the bashed corner and the screen is not fitted in perfectly due to this.



What do I do? Will Apple store even take it after a local dude has trashed it up? I would like to get it fixed by someone not clueless but I live in Springfield IL and there isn't much here. I can go to Apple store in St. Louis. Any other ideas????

iPad disabled.

Hi. Hopefully someone can help me out with this. I'm asking this on behalf of my 'other half's' daughter (honest!). She's disabled an iPad2, looking online it's easy enough to fix it using the laptop it's synced to, the problem being is the charger is broke to said laptop. Can she connect it to another laptop with iTunes on to re-enable her iPad? I'm hoping this makes sense. Thanks in advance.

Songs grayed out after new computer

We got a new computer running windows 7. Both iPods ( my 5th gen iPod touch, and my sister's 1st gen nano) are on the same account. When I plug mine in, all my songs are there, but hers are all grayed out. She only has about 60 songs, but I think the problem might be with the source, all my songs are from cd's and a few iTunes downloads. Her songs were downloaded from frostwire on our old computer. The songs are on her ipod, but what will happen if she tries to add more songs?

Lost ipod Touch 8/4/13 Southwest Austin to San Diego

My daughter flew from Austin, TX to San Diego yesterday, arrived in SD at 10:40am, Southwest airlines. Lost her iPod on the plane. iPod was dead and she put in seat pocket. She was in second row, right side of plane. It is red with a pink and orange flower case. She is 10 and saved up to buy the iPod herself. She flew unaccompanied so I was not there with her. If found, please contact me! She is heartbroken about it.

Communicating between iDevices

(hope this is the right place for this question!)



I have an iPad Mini and an iPod Touch 5g. I have 2 questions:

Can the 2 devices communicate with each other without an intermediary computer?

(assuming they're within close range)

(Related) Can I see the output from one device's camera on the other device? (networked or not)



Since both are wi-fi and Bluetooth enabled it should be possible, yes?

What would you buy? Big birthday coming up.

I want to buy something fun for a big birthday. The options are:



- Kindle e-ink with glowlight (I like reading at night)

- iPad mini (my iPad 2 is a little heavy and a little slow now)

- Canon DSLR (I like hobby photography, but rarely do it)

- latest iPod touch... seems easier to carry around the house than an iPad.

- Macbook pro (ok, this one is beyond the budget, but tempting)

- Other?



I want to: read, study, listen to music, try some hobbies (photography? language learning online?). I'll usually be around the house doing this stuff.



What I've got already:

I have: 1.5 year old PC (use all the time), Apple TV (use a little), large TV (use all the time), eink BN Nook (never use anymore but like it to read outside on rare occasion, received as a gift and used a lot at first), iPad 2 (sometimes use still, but not nearly as much as when I first got it), ipod 6g (don't use much, free from a 2G trade-in program), old iPod touch 2g (it's too slow and not compatible with apps anymore so I don't use it anymore), iPhone 4 used (it's fine, I rarely talk on the phone), BN Nook 7 inch LCD tablet (sometimes use but not as much as I expected), Tivo (use all the time), Samsung camera (got it this year but don't use much... too basic a camera for my hobby photography).



Some things I've bought and gotten tons of use out of while others I don't use nearly as much as I thought I would. I'm tempted to sell some of the things I don't use much anymore, but haven't really decided what to do. Others I used to use a lot (ipod touch 2g when I first got it) are too outdated to be of much use and I kind of want to upgrade to the latest. Other things, like the Nook HD 7 tablet, are fun but maybe not ideal matches. I love the size of the Nook HD 7, but it can't play with my Apple TV and I'm not loving the Android interface all that much.



I don't know what I would really enjoy and get a whole lot of use out of.



The past few things I didn't use/enjoy as much as I thought I would, and I want to make a wise purchase that I really use now. Any fun ideas?

iPod Touch 4 bug

Hi,

My daughter has an iPod Touch 4. The battery runs out very quickly. We took it to the Apple Store and they said the battery is fine but there was bug that was causing the battery to drain faster than normal. The guy said that she would have to wipe all her data and re-install the OS in order to get rid of the bug. She is very reluctant to wipe her data. Is there a way to transfer her data to another device, wipe the iPod, re-install the OS, and then transfer back the data? The Apple guy said the bug was in the data, so doing that would move the bug with it. Anyway, I'm trying to solve the problem without wiping the data.



Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
