itunes gift card zipThe Global Mail recently took an in - depth look at allegations that hackers may have infiltrated iTunes accounts. According to that investigation, there’s something fishy going on at iTunes. An Apple Support Communities thread titled “iTunes store account hacked”, which currently includes 73 pages of more than 1,080 replies, details users’ complaints about mysterious charges stretching all the way back to November 2010. Many of these comments are from users reporting what appear to be third - party purchases made from PayPal accounts, credit cards and gift cards linked to their iTunes accounts, as well as unexplained changes in their account information. Here are two examples of complaints on the “iTunes store account hacked” thread: I’ve been hacked twice in the last couple of days. Amount deducted from my gift card credit. Apple told me it must have been an in - app I downloaded by accident. Rubbish!!!! Not impresseed — crimsonfox62 I was just hacked too... My account is linked to my PayPal that’s linked to my checking and they literally stole all of my money in my checking account. Already sent in the support ticket, not very happy at this point. — elitez28 According to The Global Mail Apple has yet to acknowledge or even comment on whether iTunes accounts may have been compromised, even though users have been reporting discrepancies for over a year. When The Global Mail contacted Apple, the company responded with a generic reply about security but did not address the specific concerns that had been raised.Device synchronization[edit] iTunes 2 was the first version of the software to be able to sync with an iPod. iTunes can automatically synchronize its music and video library with an iPod or iPhone every time it is connected. New songs and playlists are automatically copied to the iPod, and songs and playlists that have been deleted from the library on the host computer are also deleted from the iPod. Ratings awarded to songs on the iPod will sync back to the iTunes library and audiobooks will also remember the current playback position. Automatic synchronization can be turned off in favor of manually copying individual songs or complete playlists. iTunes supports copying music to an iPod; however, only music and videos purchased from the iTunes Store can be transferred from the iPod back to iTunes. This functionality was added after third - party software was written which allowed users to copy all content back to their computer. It is also possible to copy from the iPod using ordinary Unix command line tools, or by enabling hidden file viewing in Windows Explorer, then copying music from the iPod drive to a local disk for backup. Doing this can be confusing because the files are arranged in such a way that their folders and (depending on iPod and iTunes versions) file names are seemingly picked at random as they are put on the iPod. It is worth noting, however, that the files (along with their embedded title and artist information) remain unchanged. It is therefore less confusing to let iTunes reimport, reorganize, and rename all of the files after they are backed up. When music or video purchased through the iTunes Store is copied from an iPod, it will only play on computers that are authorized with the account that was used to purchase them. Several third party utilities can remove this limitation by stripping iTunes DRM from protected files. The legality of using such software in the United States is the subject of active debate.[87] When an iPod is connected that does not contain enough free space to sync the entire iTunes music library, a playlist will be created and given a name matching that of the connected iPod. This playlist can then be modified to the user's preference in song selection to fill the available space.iTunes keeps track of songs by creating a virtual library, allowing users to access and edit a song's attributes. These attributes, known as metadata, are stored in a binary library file called iTunes Library, which uses a proprietary file format ("ITL"). It caches information like artist and genre from the audio format's tag capabilities (the ID3 tag, for example) and stores iTunes - specific information like play count and rating. iTunes typically reads library data only from this file.[26] A second file can also be created if users activate a preference; the iTunes Music Library.xml file is refreshed whenever information in iTunes is changed. It uses an XML format, allowing third - party apps to access the library information (including play count, last played date, and rating, which are not standard fields in the ID3v2.3 format). Apple's own iDVD, iMovie, and iPhoto applications all access the library.[27] If the first file exists but is corrupted, such as by making it zero - length, iTunes will attempt to reconstruct it from the XML file. Detailed third - party instructions regarding this are documented elsewhere.
