Got a new computer. old computer fell unable to access any infrmation how do i safely get the music stored on my iphone back on itunes and how can i get my aps back that where erased when trying to syn my iphone to my new computer

This my second computer in the last two years. The first one fell and broke but I had only $20 worth of Itune stuff on the first one so I did not bother however this second computer I have tons of apps and music. I have lost all my apps while I was trying to backup my iphone with my new computer. I am wondering how can i get those apps back. How can I safely syn my iphone to my new computer without losing any more stuff.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Certainly after losing everything once, you started doing the basics and have a backup copy.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( twice), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone: Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Make sure that you have your computer authorized to your itunes account.

I tried to download a Cisco webex application. The app did not download and I also can't open the app. The problem is that I can't get the webex screen to close, it is stuck open and I can't get back to the app home page!

I tried to download a Cisco website application. The app did not download and it is stuck on the window where it has the option of open.....it will not open. The problem is that I cannot get the window off the screen and I can't get back to the App Store home page! Help! Thanks

Try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I deleted all of my music off of my old computer. The music is still on my IPOD nano and I have a new computer. Is there anyway I can get the music off of my IPOD on to Itunes on my new computer?

Old laptop crashed - how do I get the music stored on iPod into new laptop?

My old laptop crashed so I cannot follow the instructions for moving my iTunes library to a new computer because I can no longer go into my old iTunes and switch it to manual update and enable disk use. How can I get the music stored on my iPod into my new iTunes? I have a 60GB iPod video. Thanks

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

IMac froze while surfing web last night (color pinwheel), I forced quit and now when rebooting the fan and chime come on, the monitor stays on grey and the apple sign is replaced by a stop sign and I can't get past this, is there self fix? Never backed up

iMac froze while surfing web last night (color pinwheel), I forced quit and now when rebooting the fan and chime come on, the monitor stays on grey and the apple sign is replaced by a stop sign and I can't get past this, is there self fix? Never backed up.
The computer (top / back of monitor) gets really hot within minutes.

How old is the iMac?
With no backup, you have probably lost all your data.
Sounds like serious hardware problem for which you are going to have to take it to Apple for an estimate of repairs.

All the images in my Speed Dial thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back.

All the images in my Speed Dial thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back. When I check the settings all the thumbnails have the site shown in the details so should be showing the site in the thumbnail, but they're just blank. I uninstalled Speed Dial and installed it again, but to no avail. Something is stopping the image appearing but don't know what. I paused blocking on Ghostery, but that makes no difference. Any suggestions would be welcome!

See [[menu bar is missing]].

The side menu that had the iCloud "download all" button in it is gone and I can't get it back?

This is my first Mac. I have iTines 12. I signed in to iTunes and I was going to download each song that was in the cloud by individually clicking on it, but noticed in the side menu that there was an icloud button that could download all my stuff in the cloud at once. I went to click it and double click or something and the menu turned into it's own window. I didnt like it so I closed out both itunes iwndows, quit itunes and restarted it and the menu with the Icloud download all button has not returned. My brother swears I'm making it up, haha. Ive tried everything!

Hey There daniellaaaaaa,
First of all, congratulations on your new Mac! Like most people, one of the first things you want to do is to get all of your music from your old computer into the new one.
The article below explains how to do that. My personal preference is the suggestion to back up your old iTunes library to an external drive first. This is preferable to downloading only your iTunes Store purchases from iTunes in the Cloud.
I'll provide information for both scenarios below for you:

Hello, my ipad has never been paired with any computer. My PC is ready to die and iTunes will not upload on it. My iPad is insisting that I connect to iTunes and I can't get out of that screen. How can I use my iPad without syncing it to iTunes? Than

Hello,
My iPad 2 has never been "paired" with any PC. My one and only PC is corrupted and will not, after many many attempts, download iTunes. When I turn on my iPad it insists that I connect to my iTunes. How can I avoid this and just get the iPad to work like normal? Any help is much appreciated

You cannot do anything with the iPad until you do as instructed by the iPad and connect to iTunes on a computer.
You probably need to restore the iPad and the only way to do that is via iTunes on a computer.
Take it to an Apple Store and ask for help at a Genius bar or take it to a friend's house that is running iTunes on their computer and try to restore it.
You will lose all of your data and settings now because you never backed the iPad up in the past.

WHEN I OPEN A NEW WINDOW I DON'T GET THE QUICK TABS PAGE. WHAT HAPPENED TO IT AND HOW DO I GET IT BACK?

i used to get a page showing sites i had chosen as regulars and could then open them easily. i no longer get that page. and i can' t find it.

Probably added by an extension that isn't compatible with Firefox 8.
Try one of these instead:
*Speed Dial: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/speed-dial/
*FoxTab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/foxtab/

I just updated to 4.0.1 and I get the "We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts" However, it just keeps popping back up, firefox never restarts!!!

This morning I had a popup on my Windows XP PC stating that the 4.0.1 update was available. I upgraded. now, i receive the following error: We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts. You can submit crash report data, blah blah blah (which i have submitted several)
But, firefox DOES NOT ever open. It just pops back up with that same report window, over and over.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

I synched my iphone to 2 laptops and have now lost all the music purchased by my wife in our itunes library, how do i get this back and restore it to both our iphones?

I have recently upgraded my iphone 4 software and thought I'd backed up all my stuff. When I restored the settings only 73 out of 895 songs were downloaded to my Itunes library. I then went on my other laptop with all the old stuff on and tried to synch them. This led to all the music in this itunes library being wiped except for the 73 on my phone.
HOW DO I GET MY MUSIC BACK!!!
I share my music with my wife and we both purchase using different id's but have not had problems before in downloading to our phones. She is now a little peeved with me and any help would be very gratefully received and make my life alot easier

Hello johnohuk,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

HT1212 I received a replacement iphone for one that went bad and I think I have everything set up ok, except that on my mail account on the screen it is registering 373 pieces of mail and I can not get it to go away. There isn't any mail in the email acc

I had an iphone that would not work and they sent me a replacement. I have everything set up the same as my last one except that now on the screen it registers 373 on the mail button. I don't have any mail in my mail box. Everything is cleaned out but it still registers 373 on the front of my phone. How do I get this to go back to normal?

If your email account offers a webmail access, I suggest checking the webmail - log in to your account using the webmail access, and I predict you will see all those "unread" emails there and can dispose of them from there.
This happens because the iPhone that went bad, when reading those emails, did not remove them from your email provider's servier.

Not able to use ipad i cant get the passcode off its just saying connect to itune and that's not working

not able to get passcode off its doing nothing. it s just say connect to itune and it want do that so i guess i will send it back

You can't remove the Passcode if you can't remember it.
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

I am trying to export a slide show from iPhoto with music from iTunes. it will not export the music file because i have not enabled iTunes plus. how do i do this?

i am trying to export a slideshow from iphoto using a song from itunes. an error message comes up and say it will not export the song because itunes plus has not been enabled. how do i do that?

It sounds like you tune is an .m4p file - p=protected and has DRM.
Previously you could get the + version which was a .m4a file with no protection/DRM.
The + option has been replaced with iTunes Match - $24.99 a year.
A better option if you have a .m4p file would be to repurchase the .m4a version from the iTS unless you want to update your entire library with iTunes match.
