Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air, imac and iphone). I can't see how I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey? I also can't remember the password for this account so i can't even delete it and start again?
Help!
ThanksDeleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud. In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens. Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device. It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days. When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question. However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload). Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this. If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account. -
my pc crashed and i lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. now i have a new pc and when i log into itunes all my music and photos are not available. I guess i dont understand the pupose of itunes and its worth. I thought it backed up all my photos and music, but apparently not. So what do I use so that when i lose data on my pc i can retrieve it again at a later date or after a crash?/
Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync. -
I just got my Mac and I used my family Apple ID. It had all of my parent's information, I added my e-mail.I wanted to make my own Apple ID, but I couldn't use the same e-mail address again! How do I delete this information so I can make my own Apple ID?

It is not clear how or where you "added" your email, but you cannot create an Apple ID using an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID.
If that is what you did, delete that email address from your family's Apple ID. You should be free to create a new one.
Do all that by starting here: https://appleid.apple.com/
Select "Manage your Apple ID". Log in with your family's Apple ID and then delete your own email address wherever it appears.
Save Changes, log out, and create the new one using the same website. This time select "Create an Apple ID".
Please don't forget your security questions, and be sure to specify a "rescue email address" that is separate from all other Apple IDs. You will avoid so many problems that way... -
I got a new lap top and my husband thought it would be a good idea to help me by downloading itunes on it. Well Not so much... I have not used icloud but do have it on my phone and other items. When he pugged my phone in to my laptop it asked if he wanted to backup he said yes. Then it reset my phone and now all my pictures are gone please help
If your phone was backed up to your computer, the backup would contain your camera roll photos (and videos). Restoring to this backup would recover them. However, if it was backed up a second time after losing them, this would overwrite the backup containing the data and your photos would be lost.
You can try restoring to your backup, but before doing so go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". This will prevent the phone from automatically syncing and backing up when you connect it to your computer, thereby overwriting the backup you want to restore to. After doing this, open iTunes on your computer and connect your phone, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side of iTunes and choose Restore from Backup. (If you have iTunes 11 first go to View>Show Sidebar.)
Again this might work, as long as the phone was only backed up and then not subsequently backed up again after the photos were lost. -
Ok, here goes with the explanation. I am running a Mac Mini mid 2010 with mt iTunes library on an external USB drive. I dual boot the computer into Windows 7. I want to be able to use the same iTunes library in both Operating Systems. I am trying to set this up on the Windows side without accidentily erasing, moving or duplicating any files. In the past when I have tried I have ended up with multiple files. I have an iCloud also but do not want to download any files again. How can I get iTunes on Windows to simply recognise my existing storage and create a library list from what is already there rather than duplicating files?
Update: As soon as I signed in with my iTunes account iCloud picked up my playlist and now lists all my music. Right clicking on the songs give me the choice to download the files, but the files already exist oin my external USB. I simply want iTunes on Windows 7 to point to the existing files.How is the external drive formatted?

We have one computer in our home and two user accounts, his and hers. On my account at the top of the page I have file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools and help.
On the other account it will not show any of those topics. Its very discouraging first its there and than it dissappears so that we cannot find our bookmarks.
How do i remedy this so the same is on both user accounts.For details of how to restore it, see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/menu+bar+is+missing]

How do I convert images with text that I add on to a .pdf pro document to text? Please help!
Hey Adobe experts, I could really use your help.
I have a couple screen shots from school lectures that I pasted onto OneNote. These screenshots have substantial amount of text I could use. I have created a big .pDF document where I have been saving my notes and text. Now - how do I convert the images I paste onto the document into text?
It automatically happened a couple times when I tried saving the document immediately after I pasted the image - when I was under "edit PDF" I was able to edit and change fonts of the text. But how do I do this at will? Is there a special button somewhere?
P.S. I already tried OCR - but this is only limited to pages without already "renderable text".You can use the Status-4-Evar extension to replace some functionality that was lost withthe removal of the Status bar in Firefox 4.
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" after you have installed the Status-4-Evar extension and drag the items (Status Text, Progress Meter, Download Status) upon the Add-ons Bar (View > Toolbars > [X] Add-on Bar)

I updated itunes 11.1.5 and I accidently restored all my settings back to my old phone that was backed up onto my computer, I lost everything that was set up on my phone, contacts, pictures, videos, emails...etc.. how do I get my old setup back without doing a factory data reset?
Restore the device again using the most recent backup.
If there is no more recent backup and the pictures were not copied off the device prior to the original restore, they are gone. Same goes for videos taken with the device.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, simply sync them back.
Any content acquired from iTunes should be on iTunes on the computer, simply sync it back. -
I would just like to be able to log in to both devices using the account, but I cant add a device on my iPod because I have logged out.
First go to your iTunes menu, STORE, login with your AppleID (if you have not done so), then Authorise your computer under the same STORE menu
Now , go to iTunes store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the top right window. Go through all the tabs to download again for free. -
HT204053 I have an apple ID that I want to use it for icloud, but when I Set it, i got below message
I have an apple ID that I want to use it for icloud, but when I Set it, i got below message
I could requires an apple id that Is an email address ( [email protected] address )
Please help me
<Email Edited by Host>Your gmail address is still your apple id. Just when you activate your mail and notes, it asks you to create icloud e-mail, which is completely separate and allows you to have one more e-mail address. Just some extra benefit, you don't have to pay for, but useful to save your notes and send e-mail or two if Google server goes down.

Will re-setting my Iphone make me loose all my pictures and apps
Will re-setting my husbands i-phone make it loose all the pictures and apps ? Also on my husbands phone he has an old email address that is no longer active and cannot access the email account to get the reset password when apple emails it. Does re-setting the i-phone enable him to change his apple id and password ?
Then tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This will clear everything in settings of the prior user so he can set it up as a "new" user. No apps are deleted nor is iOS. However, apps you have purchased under your Apple ID will not be upgradeable under his Apple ID. They will continue to work, however. If you have your own separate device, then each of you needs a separate Apple ID or you will be getting each other's mail, iCloud syncs, etc. If you use the same computer you should each have your own separate user account.

I am trying to set up my apple tv using the hospital network. I am able to detect the network and chose it. But the way the system works is that you have to agree to the terms and conditions of using their network before access the internet. How do I accomplish this with apple? Please help.
There are some other options to you, if you're not at home and nobody is using your router you could set it up at the hospital, if this isn't an option you could get a second router and use it. Many ethernet routers are available on the cheap, and ethernet cables are cheap too.
Also, a macbook can share it's internet via the built in wifi it has. See this go to settings-sharing-internet sharing and configure as desired. This may require an internet connection via ethernet. But you should be able to create a wifi network for using something like airplay/home sharing.
