Itunes Library Sharing Ipad and AppleTV

I hope someone can help me here. We have one Itunes library always running, the kids use it to watch their movies (home sharing) and we use it via Apple TV to watch our movies. What we would like to do is prevent our movies from showing up on their iPads. Is this possible?

What is your fav photo editor for wallpapers

Hi all,

I use the 4s and would like a better photo editor, etc. for creating wallpapers for my iphone.

I like to use photos I've taken or jpegs I've downloaded.

I'm not at all happy with the iphones that is tied to photos...it won't allow resizing...keeps enlarging when I pinch size it.

I also have "Wallaid", free from the app store. It is okay but that is about it.

Thanks,

Kai

iPod toggle switch

I received a refurbished iPod for Christmas because I lost my iPod. I was able to load my music onto it, but can't play it because the lock /unlock switch at the bottom is broken. I have an iCraig speaker system, so as soon as I can select a playlist I'll be ok, but how do I unlock it when the toggle switch won't work? Thanks!!

iPod Classic switch

I had an iPod Classic and lost it a month ago. For Christmas, my sister gave me her old one that has been sitting in a drawer for months. I synced it and got my music loaded. However, the switch at the bottom that locks /unlocks the iPod just slides back and forth...nothing happens. Without unlocking, I have a nice....paperweight! Any suggestions on how to unlock my iPod?

"over current error"

For christmas i got a USB speaker system with CD player. it doesnt dock the ipod, it just has a USB hole that you plug in the wire from the ipod. it works and even charges. but sometimes i get whats called a "over current error" and i have to turn the power off and then on to start it up again. the wire itself is a bit worn, in fact it has a small hole that i covered with electrical tape. works fine with the computer if i want to load something with my itunes. but mexico does use ALOT of electricity and we do have surge boxes. unfortunatly where i have mine set its not near one, so its plugged into a wall. now it only seems to happen when move the ipod around while its connected to the box. i watch movies on it, so i have to hold it in my hand. which if it gets juggled around, the "over current" thing might happen. is there anything else that might cause this "over current error"?

Manually to Syncing

I have an old iPod classic which I haven't used in a few years. Now before I always used to manage the music manually without syncing it to the computer. Now I want to do the total opposite, I want to sync it to my computer.



I have a HDD full of songs and I want to copy these over to the iPod but I think they may just cause loads of duplicates so I believe its easier to sync it from the computer. So I should be able to organise the music without my iPod being directly connected to the computer whilst being on the desktop and then at a later stage when I sync it just updates right?



So anyway if I don't have the music I have on my iPod on my computer do I need an extract software to take the songs off my Ipod to the computer? If I did this will the filename of the song remain the same as when I actually put this onto the ipod?

How ever one double album is giving me a right headache. I added the folder into the Library in itunes main page, when i click on my ipod name and then music along the top right hand pane there are four sub sections, Artists, Albums, Playlist and genres.

iTunes file data

Firstly, I googled and searched for an answer to this but without success.



I formatted my hard drive to discover my incremental backup had been corrupted. All data prior to April 2013 gone!!



After this, I backed up my ipod with Windows explorer, dragging all the folders from my ipod to a recovery folder on C:. Then (DOH!!) I installed iTunes and reconnected the ipod without first selecting the non-sync preference - ipod wiped!!



No problem, I thought. I transferred all the files (>60gb) in F00-F49 to iTunes. The majority transferred OK but some 100's have no ID at all and appear simply as the 4 letter ipod name e.g. zpfr - no identifying info at all. They play OK.



My question - is there any way to retrieve this info. There are no details to be seen with the right click>get info.

i have had much internet disconnects becuase of a weak signal and other issues. one problem i had was back in March, the internet settings kept changing on me. but my computer was cleaned up after that. but all those experiences made me wonder can a computer get to a point where it can not have an internet connection? Wile everything works fine on the computer but for some reason, something happened to it where it just can not have internet. like the wifi is permently damaged or something? for a while i thought that was something that could happen with my computer. i do have the occasional disconnects but its with the internet service. i live on a Mexican island. the internet connection is not that good here. but if i am disconnected, i always make sure that others are disconnected too THEN i know it's not my computer.

but for a while it was my computer between March and July. Then we got a booster then my com ws connected again. the situation is hard to explain, really. but it was lookig as if my computer could've lost it's internet connecting ability. it doesn't look like that, now. even though sometimes the internet goes out occasionaly especialy around Christmas where theres so much traffic.

Is buying a I-Pod from Best Buy the same as buying from Apple's online store?

I bought an I-pod touch from Best Buy with all the exact features and look ( a silver with white face) as the one on the online Apple store. Now, I am wondering if I made a mistake. My son seems to think so. Even though they are identical ( I got help from a clerk) and only saved maybe 10 dollars. My son seems to think there is something otherwise special about buying it directly from the online Apple store. I did not wish to purchase any extra insurance on it from either store. He thinks that the other stores such as Best Buy might leave some details, applications, or accessories out of the product therefore making the product I bought at Best Buy not the EXACT product as the one shown on the Apple online store website. ( Even though it said it has all the same things, I made sure of it) Is this true? Should I return it and get one online even though this product is clearly a Apple I-Pod tough, 32 GB, 5th generation for $295.00.:confused: And I really don't want to drive 2 hours where I bought it from and spend the day returning and then having to buy it again if it's not necessary. Especially when Christmas is right around the corner. Help please?

I have it configured with outgoing mail server : smtp dot mail dot yahoo dot com and incoming mail server: imap do mail dot yahoo dot com



So the IMAP is working alright it looks like to me, because I get mail.



But the outgoing server setup is according to the instructions on the page that instructed me for setting up IMAP. It's all configured according to it.



I set up a second outgoing mail server with the same address but using port 25 after reading web posts about this kind of hassle where that fixed it. But it hasn't worked for me.



The system gives me no indication that it has tried to use this second server and instead tells me it is using a server with 'apple' preceding the address. Is that usual, it always does that but the config is okay?



Can anyone help?

I have this problem in iTunes. When I import singles into iTunes I don't give them an album name, so iTunes sees those files as unknown album. No problem for me but iTunes gives it automatically a cover artwork which isn't the right one.

iTunes Syncing More Songs than I Add

I am using v.10 of iTunes and recently started having one my iPods sync 4,000+ songs each time I add something new to my library. Today I added 10 songs and it copied 4,000+ songs. What is wrong and how do I fix it? Do I have to rebuild my iTunes Library? Would deleting everything from iTunes and copying it back from iPods using CopyTrans fix anything?



Thanks

New Developer - Psychopedia

Hey guys,



Just a little background behind my story. 29 year old male in Sydney Australia, no experience in IT or writing code but do come from a business background.



Just took over an iTunes application called Psychopedia and currently releasing my first update. I have made the app free and optimised it for iOS 5, the update should go live in a few days :D



My background is finance and banking. So what is a guy like me doing investing in software that he has no idea how to program, write or maintain? Well the truth is its not that hard. It's so easy for anyone to become a developer today with the myriad of services and developers available on sites like odesk and elance.



So far the most challenging thing that I have found is dealing with overseas developers. Not so much because of the distance issue, but more so finding one that is able to put themselves in the driver seat of the user when applying the updates. Some sloppy work and excuses to cover them. But with time my negotiating and project management skills are improving.



My tip is, if you have ever thought to yourself "i wish they made an app for (insert idea here)", you should start doing some research about it yourself. You'll be surprised at what you can achieve.



Thanks guys!

iphone trying to send imessage to NON-iphone

Whenever my daughter sends my husband a txt, it tries to send it as an imessage and fails and gives her the option to send as a txt message. He USED to have an iphone, so I know that they used to send imessages, but he has switched to a non-iphone. Her iphone is still trying though. She's deleted him as a contact, re-entered him and made sure that his phone number is just listed as a cell (NOT an iphone). It still tries to send it as an imessage every single time. How do we get her phone to just send plain old txts so she doesn't have to try each msg 2x?



Mine had the same problem (trying to send to him as an imessage) but once I switch the info in his contact to be a regular cell, not an iphone, it stopped and only attempts txt msgs now. Hers doesn't want to stop the imessages. She has the 4s.



Thanks!

Sync Diff Songs By Same Artist to Diff Devices

My wife and I have different favorite songs by certain artists. For example, I like "Something" by the Beatles but she doe not. How do we set-up iTunes and/or our iOS7 devices to sync so that when we both select The Beatles as an artist to sync to our devices, "Something" is added to my device but not to her's.



I know this can be done via playlists, but the preference is to not have to create and update playlists every time new songs are added to iTunes. I am hopeful that there may be a way to tag music to play on certain devices.



Thank you for any assistance provided.

Double Check Itunes Backup

Hello,



I read about backing up iTunes and just wanted to make sure I did it right before re-installing windows as my music is so important to me.



What I want to do: Backup iTunes to an external hard drive WITH my playlists.



What I've Done: I went to the advance tab and turned ON "Keep my iTunes Music Library Organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". These options were OFF before. iTunes quickly did something and then that was it.



Now, all I have to do is drag "iTunes" folder under my Music folder in Windows 7 to the external hard drive to completely backup iTunes with playlists and artwork right?



iTunes folder has the following in it:



Album Artwork

iTunes Media

Mobile Applications

Previous iTunes Libraries

iTunes Library Extras

iTunes Library Genius

iTunes Library

sentinel

TempFile.tmp


Thank you for looking over this/possibly correcting a missed step and giving me reassurance that the library is fully backed up and ready to be dragged over to new Windows music folder after re-install.

Another bricked 160gb?

Seems to be a rash of these lately.



So.



I recently deleted all the playlists of my iPod and reloaded them. Cleaned up the playlists, like. Those all loaded OK. Unplugged the iPod to go about my merry way.



Then I noticed I had some duplicates. So I worked on clearing those out and added a couple of new tracks. Plugged the pod back in and....nothing. It completely freezes iTunes.



I left it for a while, thinking the iPod and iTunes wanted to chat with each other for a while. But after about 20 minutes, still nothing. I tried ejecting the iPod, but it wouldn't let me do it since iTunes was still "using" it. So I ctrl+alt+del iTunes, still nothing. At this point I simply unplugged it, not much else to do. It did a little countdown thing, I could feel the hard drive spinning pretty fast.



Now it says there are 0 songs on there. When I go into the Settings menu, it says there's 113 GB free, so there's obviously something on there. I can see the music folders through Windows Explorer.



When I plug it in, Win7 says it detects problems with the drive, and asks if I want to scan for errors. I chose to do so last night before hitting the sack. 10 hours later...nothing. The status bar didn't even budge.



iTunes is unresponsive when it's plugged in, but works OK when it's unplugged. Not quite sure what to make of it at this point. I thought I would be clever and switch to MediaMonkey, but it does the same thing, simply freezes the program.



Ideas?

ipod 4th dock problem?

Hi, i picked up an ipod off ebay, i knew it didnt work got it for $40 and i know how to solder and work on these little things. i dont mind replacing parts when i know what to replace:) So the deal is it was locked up by password which i know how to get by but then i realized the battery was almost dead so i tried to charge it, it does not charge anywhere, computer, car or on the wall. itunes doesnt detect it or the computer. the water indicator has been activated but is very slight pink, i would have thought it was the battery but i really believe its the dock port, i was just wondering if everyone agrees, because when i plug it in to charge the ipod detects that i have plugged it up it displays the screen with the battery telling me to plug it up because it needs to be charged but i never get the lightning bolt to change to show that it is being charged it just keeps telling me to charge it. i am trying to find a multimeter at the moment mine has disappeared to see if the battery is getting any charge but i dont believe its charging past the dock connection.

Backing Up Music on 160 GB Classic

I’ve had a 160GB classic for about the last 5 years. How do you back up the music on your iPod? I read tutorials and did this a couple years ago, but remember seeing this weird 4-letter coding for the songs of certain artists. If something happened to the data on the device, and I had to load it back on, would it generate/recognize the actual song titles? Is there any software that preserves the actual titles and organization? I own all the music, but it would be a major pain to have to reload everything, because I’ve done a lot with the organization.



Also, is there a way to generate and export a list of every single song on this kind of iPod? (Preferrably in a text or Excel format) What a great resource if I ever had to reload the material.

Remove track numbers from MP3 CD's

Hi



with iTunes 11 when I burn a MP3 CD the track name is preceded with the track number, this creates an issue with my car MP3 player which shows the track name and having the track number means there is not enough room to show the full track name.



How do I stop the track number showing?

160GB Classic plays songs out of order

This is a sudden change, and have never had this problem with either of my 2 ipods over past 10 years.



Within an album the songs are listed in correct order. After playing song 1, it will seemingly randomly play the remaining songs from that album, and incorrectly identify each one as 2, 3, 4, etc.

I do not use playlists. Most of my music consists of live shows, so the change in order is particularly an issue.



When importing these I always number 1 of x, 2 of x, etc.



I tried deleting a few albums, checked info in itunes, and re-added to ipod with same result.



Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

There's like 1400 numbers in there so doing it by hand is out of the question.

Ipod Classic 160GB - cannot format or restore

Hi guys,



I have a two year old 160GB Ipod Classic, which has recently stopped working. It happened pretty much out of nowhere.

First of all, all the music disappeared from the Ipod. Then, when I connected it to the PC in order to see what's up (I'm using Windows 7); it wasn't picking it up properly - a message popped up saying that Windows needs to format the drive before it can be used. I also couldn't access any files on the drive manually through Windows Explorer.

I can't restore it using iTunes either. The Ipod just isn't picking up on iTunes altogether... - but it's weird, because whenever I plug the Ipod in, iTunes opens itself automatically as per usual, but it's not actually registering the device, if that makes sense... All I see are my playlists and stuff, but nothing about an iPod actually being plugged in...

Also, I have noticed that in Memory Settings on the Ipod itself it says that there is 0kb free space (despite there only being about 15GB filled)...

I tried using Windows to format the device, but it didn't get anywhere - All I got was a message saying that Windows could not complete the format.

I have researched this thoroughly on the internet, but really couldn't find anything helpful.

I read something about using Windows to format Ipod devices being a bad idea, because of the FAT32 files used by such devices, so I downloaded a separate program recommended on another site called 'Fat32 Formatter', but that wasn't able to format it either.



On top of that, I now started having a problem with the hold button - basically, the Ipod is constantly locked, as if the hold button was on, but it isn't. I read about this being a fairly common issue, but still, it means I can't even try disc mode anymore.



If anyone has any ideas, that'd be greatly appreciated.

iPhone to Desk Phone Docking Station

Any advice as to which is the best docking station? This is for a Christmas present for my wife. She started a new job and her "office" phone is an iPhone 4. She teleworks two days a week and conducts conference calls frequently. I am looking to get her a docking station that converts her iPhone into more of a traditional desk phone.



I am torn between the iFusion and the ePure but am leaning towards the ePure. Reviews from the Apple Store website don't sound too promising for the iFusion regarding the device's reliability after a few months. We don't have a landline so something like the Cobra PhoneLynx wouldn't work.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Complain about new iTunes/Where to get an old one

My older version of iTunes kept crashing and after a really long time I finally gave in and decided to install a new version - I was stupid enough to think that it might be an improvement. Well, of course no new version is ever an improvement on the previous version...



The new iTunes looks worse, album infos are not shown as conveniently as before, I can't browse the library as well as before, the album cover scroll feature is gone, the Most Played Songs feature is gone, in fact I can't even see the number of albums and songs I have in my library anymore. What idiot thought that it would be an improvement to take away the list of tracks you have played the most? How is it good that you can't see anymore how many songs there are in your iTunes?



When it installed the new version it "organized" my library without asking my permission, and of course it screwed everything up as it filled in fields I did not want to have there. For example it filled all of those useless Album Artist fields so that every Miles Davis album is now listed with the letter M and not D - apparently it's unknown to iTunes that people are put in alphabetical order by their last name and not first. It's only about erasing the Album Artist field (and every other field it annoyingly filled out without asking from me) but since I have almost 2000 albums in my library it's going to take AGES to fix up the library.



All the worthless non-genres that I had carefully edited out (like "Easy listening", "Books & spoken" and "Children's music") are back with a new as stupid addition, "Christmas", so I have to do that again too...



Plus when it was messing up my library I could see the amount of songs it was "organising" and it was about 10 songs less than there should be in my library, so it looks like the new iTunes deleted some songs from my library, but as I can no longer see the total number of songs I can't be sure of it... and I can't know which songs it would have deleted. It deleted one album cover as well.



All the features and functions of the old iTunes were fine so why did they feel a need to make a new version that is clearly worse than the previous one? Do they have such an obsession for putting out new versions that if they can't improve it anymore, they start to go backwards and deliberately make worse versions?



This angers me and I want to have an older version of iTunes that was better... does anyone know where I can get one? Actually I tried to put the old one back but it gave me an error message and said that it won't install it because there is a newer version available... so that could be a problem. I just want to have a good version of iTunes that won't crash. (The iTunes on my older computer NEVER crashed, but when I got a laptop that version was the one that started crashing.) Thanks for reading this rant.
