  • HT1296 My drive failed on my iMac and I had to get a new drive but now my iTunes music is gone including all the CD's I added to iTunes, and all of my custom Playlists. All of that stuff is still on my iPhone 4, but how do I get it all onto my iMac again?

    My drive failed on my iMac and I had to get a new drive but now my iTunes music is gone including all the CD's I added to iTunes, and all of my custom Playlists. All of that stuff is still on my iPhone 4, but how do I get it all onto my iMac again? I have CD's on my phone that i no longer have the physical copies of so i can't just re-download them all, plus it would take forever! I just want to know if there is a way to get all of what is still on my phone, back over to my iMac with it's new drive and restore my full iTunes library to the iMac with playlists, CD downloaded music, and my iTunes bought stuff, so i can go back to synching the 2 devices without losing everything that's on my phone that used to be on both devices?

    How to dowload purchased music

  • I bought my wife an iPad, iTV and iPhone and everything works great. But now I'm getting an iPhone and I'm not sure how to set it up. So far all our iTunes purchases have been under her account. So how do we share everything, but have different accounts?

    Things have just kind of escalated. We started with the ipad and she really liked it. Then we were given an itv and it worked so nicely with the ipad, that we decided to get her an iphone. We've been buying music, tv shows, movies, taking photos, looking at them on the tv using photostream. But now I'm getting an iphone and plan to by a macbook or mac mini some time soon, and I'm wondering how I can setup my own account but still have all this really nice seamless sharing across devices. If I buy an album on my phone, I'd like to be able to play it on the itv (which is setup with my wifes account). And so forth.
    I hope I've explained my concern and someone can point out how to set things up so that things remain as seamless and easy as they are now.
    Thanks.

  • Hi, I asked about my WiFi modem? Sorry but I don't understand any of the suggestions given to me. We don't have an Apple Store where I live, the rest of it's over my head. I also don't own a PC. Any other suggestions? What's IPS?

    What I want to know is why did my WiFi modem work just fine for a whole week, now it doesn't. I can't get any Internet access if it's connected, if it's not I can't download apps from AppStore,as I have no Internet access. I'm tech literate, I don't understand what an IPS is, I don't know about ports and numbers, and there is no Apple store where I live. So now what am I supposed to do? My mum bought me the **** thing, it cost her $150, and it's worked for a week, and then excuse my French, **** itself! Can someone please help me, and in English please? I've only had an iPad since Christmas, I don't have a PC and wouldn't know how to do any of that stuff if I did. Very Frusterating!

    You asked about IPS. I believe you mean ISP, or your Internet Service Provider.
    Since you don't have a computer, you won't be able to change the router settings.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • I built a website, using iWeb.  I backed up daily with Time Machine and OS 10.6.  My HD crashed.  I replaced the HD and installed 10.5. But now I can't restore iWeb and my domain file. How do I restore my site files on the new drive?

    I obviously dont know how to use this forum...my question to the community seems to be the truncated phrase in the title block above..you can scroll thru it to see my whole question....basiclly,.my question is:  How do I restore my iWeb domain files which are kept in  user>library>applicationssupport>iWeb>domain in my Time Machine date listings...to a newly installed disc.  I had a disk crash, removed the failed drive and installed another. I then installed OS 10.5 (I didn't have a copy of my 10.6). Now I'm having difficulty figuring out how to get the iWeb files from the Time Machine external drive used with the 10.6 to the new drive running 10.5...any help muich appreciated....!!
    bob in St. Peters Nova Scotia...

    Go to to your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in the Finder and then enter  Time Machine.  Go back to the last backup that has the domain file, select it and use the Restore button.

  • Get the system language

    Hi ,
    There is FM which can provide the system language which stored on RZ11 ?
    i found this FM RSRA_GET_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE   ,
    but i need other FM .
    Regards
    Nina

    There is no Where-Used-List for this "logic" and if you do an F1 on the CALL ' ...statement you will see that the documentation is not meant to be encouraging...
    I would do a code scan for use of the statement by SAP and try to find a (preferably released) FM or method which encapsulates it.
    If there isn't one, then I guess it is either not foreseen (or even illogical) or a functional deficiency.
    @ Nina: Is your concern that the user can logon with a language which is different to the system default language? So you actually want to make it a system mandatory language?
    Cheers,
    Julius

  • How can change the system language on my S4 to Italian?

    I would like to change the system language on my S4 to Italian but that is not an option.  In fact, there are only about six choices of language, which is ridiculous for the type of phone.  How can I add languages?  I know people with the same phone on other carriers that can do this very easily from system settings.

    I know Italian is not currently an option.  That is the reason for my question.  I would like to change the system language to Italian.  Any third party apps,  as you recommend, require the phone to be rooted and I do not want to do that. Why is it that the same phone on other carriers has a wide selection of languages to choose from but Verizon's version only has six options to choose from? You have the ability to change the keyboard language,  which I did,  but not the system language.

  • Reinstall windows 7 pro to change the system language

    Hello Everyone!
    I recently bought a ThinkPad T400 online with preinstalled Windows 7 Professional.
    The system language is German and I want to change it to english.
    So far Ive seen, that it's only possible to do so by reinstalling windows 7 pro as an english version while reusing my product key, if I don't want to upgrade to ultimate.
    I'm not so good with computers and I'm a bit scared to mess something up!
    Can someone of you give me a nice step by step or some recommendations what I need to take care of?
    Can I really just download windows 7 pro from the official windows store? And how do I make sure to really get it in english?
    Thank you so much in advance!!
    I really didn't think changing the language could be so much of a hassle.

    Installing Windows 7 is easy. But before going that route, you may want to contact Lenovo and see if you can get the english system recovery discs.
    If you have to reinstall windows there are good instructions here.As for downloading an ISO or purchasing an install disc, Microsofts position is that the ISO's are only available to people who purchase their OS online and then download it. All other uses are verboten. What you decide to do it is between you and your lawyer.

  • How can i get the system language of machine in script

    I don't get it: what you posted gives a list of all the languages (and I don't see what awk brings to the party).
    Hmm. On my laptop the first bit gets me the list of languages as they appear in the listing in the International preferences pane:
    (en, de, es, ja, fr, it, nl, sv, nb, da, fi, pt, "zh-Hans", "zh-Hant", ko)
    So I piped that to awk to pull out just the first one (they're ordered just like they are in the prefs pane, with the current language first). But that gives me some extra text:
    (en,
    So I piped that to sed to remove the comma and parenthesis. That gives me the current code, which in my case was "en" (or "de" if I switched the language).
    defaults read -g AppleLocale
    gives me en_GB. So maybe this last is better for you?
    Well, sure, if you want to do it the easy way. But where's the fun in that? Seriously though, I get en_US, which is a more accurate and complete view of my settings...

  • I accidently changed the format of my Mozilla firefox so that the top part of my wall paper is showing I want the whole page to be the browser but I do not want to use the f11 option so that I am not able to see the top toolbar and i have no idea how

    First of all, Excel file can't save to iBook.  (iBook only can view PDF files). That's why you don't see it in "open in" options.  In order for you to save excel, you will need a third party app like Numbers, Office2.  There are a few free apps that can use to view.  I used Office2 from Byte2, because I can not only store and view later, I can do some edit too.  Especially when you want to edit a few numbers and re send them to my office or clients will be very useful for me. 

  • How can I completely wipe the hard drive with out the Mac OS X disc? I don't need any of the info on the computer.

    How can I completely wipe the hard drive with out the Mac OS X disc? I don't need any of the info on the computer.

    You can't unless you have a bootable system on an external drive you can use. Otherwise, you need either the original disc that came with your computer or a retail copy of Snow Leopard DVD. The latter contains 10.6.3, so your model must be capable of booting from that or an earlier version of OS X.
    You can purchase replacement discs from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences, but not Bookmarks and history''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How do I remove the "Web" bar in F4 - I don't use any of the social sites

    A black toolbar with "Web" on the LHS has appeared in my latest version of FF. It is near the top of the page. How do I get rid of it - it is annoying and I don't use any of the sites it has (like Facebook or Twitter etc)

    That didn't come with Firefox4, something else installed that into Firefox.
    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />
