I just got a new macbook. Is there any way I can transfer pictures or music to this new mac from my old one?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There are different ways to transfer your data from another Mac, but as you just want to transfer pictures and music, the best way is to use an external drive. You can also connect them with a Thunderbolt or FireWire cable, but you need specific Macs to do it, so I prefer the external drive method.
You just have to get an external drive and plug it to the old Mac. Then, open Finder, navigate to the folders with your pictures and music, and drag them to the external drive in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices".
Then, connect the external drive to the new Mac and you will see the external drive in the Finder sidebar after opening a Finder window, so choose it. Then, just copy the pictures and music to the folder you want, for example, Music or Pictures

HT1202 My iPod is set to manually manage music. I have tons of different music from different computers on my iPod. Unfortunately my iPod is getting old and I'd like to purchase a new one. Is there any way I can transfer all the music to a new iPod?

My Ipod touch is set to manually manage music. I have put music from my computer and iTunes account onto it, and music from other people's computer and iTunes accounts on it. Unfortunately I dropped my iPod and the screen cracked. It still plays music and everything just fine, but it has problems with it's battery life so I'd like to just get a completely new iPod nano. Is there any way I can transfer all the music from my iPod touch onto a new iPod nano? From what I can tell it won't let me sync any of the music on my iPod touch that is from other people's computers onto my laptop, and so I wouldn't be able to put it on a new iPod nano. Hopefully that makes sense. I'd just really really like to be able to keep all that music and not lose 2/3 of my iPod touch music library because I want to put it on a newer Ipod.

Look at this guide:
Configuration error 16 | CC, CS
I don't know what version you have, but you cannot install a Windows edition on a Mac, you need the Mac edition.
If you have Photoshop CS6, you can swap it for a Mac version, otherwise you would have to purchase a full Mac version ($700) or enroll in the $10 per month Photography program from Adobe to use Photoshop CC.

My MacBook was wiped of all my music and everything else, and now my iTouch is the only device with my entire music database. My iTouch is old. (Version 6.1.6, Model number: MC547LL/A) Is there any way I can put all the music on my iTouch onto my Mac

My MacBook was wiped of all my music and everything else, and now my iTouch is the only device with my entire music database. My iTouch is old. (Version 6.1.6, Model number: MC547LL/A) Is there any way I can put all the music on my iTouch back onto my MacBook? I hate that I could lose my entire music library by dropping my iTouch in the toilet.
I've tried to plug in my iTouch into my MacBook, but I can't seem to give the music-transfusion without subscribing to iTunes Match or just completely wiping my iTouch.
PLEASE HELP MEEEEE

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Is there any way I can still activate Photoshop CS on a new computer. I know it's a very old version, but it's what I have.

You are severely schizophrenic, Benjamin Root.
A few posts ago in this very same thread, you were saying:
"They definitely could use better support! " and "You would think Adobe could afford better support with their profit increasing as it has."
Now you're saying he'd respond:
"And why not? It's cheap and I'm supporting my fellow countrymen. Just look at how our stock values are increasing, since I've taken over!"

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, then you can redownload itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

The 2nd and 3rd gen devices don't store anything except for photos used in the screensaver via home sharing. Even those are temporarily cached, and there is no accessible drive. Photo stream is being accessed directly from the cloud.
The 1st ten had a hard drive, but not meant to be for primary storage (syncing purposes only).
It's always highly recommended to keep regular backups.

I recently bought a new computer because the screen on my other one cracked. I didn't get to back up or keep any of my music or apps but they are still on my iPod Touch 4G with iOS5. Is there any way I can transfer them to my iTunes library?

I recently bought a new computer and my other one crashed. All my songs, apps, videos and moviesa are gone but they are still on my iPod Touch 4G. Is there any way I can transfer them to my iTunes Library? (Most of them haven't been purchased)

Use 3rd party software like:

What happens when you try to redownload them ? What you can re-download (the types of content that you can redownload varies by country) will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes, and the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPhone (and similarly for apps in the App Store app). If you still have your old phone then you should be able to copy your iTunes downloads from it over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

Use iTunes to backup files from your old ipod first then transfer to the new iPod. Please
follow the steps in How to transfer your backup from one iOS device to a new device. By the way, if you don't have the iTunes, you can use this iPhone transfer program. It help you to transfer sms and contacts from iPhone.
Hope it helps.

My iPhone 5 is in recovery mode but i want to save my pictures and videos! is there any way i can do that? i have a back up from 2 days ago and i don't have my iCloud sync with my photos

is there any way i can do that? i have a back up from 2 days ago and i don't have my iCloud sync with my photo

When restoring from the backup, whatever is included with the backup from two days ago should be restored which includes photos/videos in the Camera Roll at the time of the backup along with all other data included with the backup at the time of the backup two days ago.
