  • I bought my friend's used laptop. She doesn't know how to get her itunes account off the laptop, so I'm not able to do anything. How do I remove her account from the laptop?

    I bought my friends Toshiba laptop. Her itunes account is on there, hooked up to a credit card. She doesn't remember her ID. I think I had it emailed to her by typing in her email address and first and last name. Now that she probably HAS her Apple ID and Password, how do we remove her account from the laptop so I can use MY itunes?

    Delete the ENTIRE iTunes folder from her user directory.
    Frankly, you should be restoring the laptop as new, either using the restore CD provided by Toshiba or by reinstalling Windows with a Windows CD to remove ALL of her personal information.

  • I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore.

    I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore. I don't think the audiobook was backed up to icloud but I have the receipt to prove I purchased it. Is there anyway I can get it back?

    "If I purchase an audio book in iTunes on my iPad why can't I listen to it on my Mac? "
    You can.  Why do you think you cannot?
    If you purchased it on your ipad, then you would have to transfer it to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    You can then listen to it on your computer.

  • Hi, just need to know how to get my music, video, pictures and apps form my iPhone to my new laptop as the old computer, which I used before was stolen. I only have my phone left and if I try to conect it to my new laptop it's trying to delete everything.

  • I will soon be purchasing a new PC running Windows 7. I need to know how to migrate my iTunes Library and apple devices to the PC. Is there a previously published support document on this topic? Thank You.

    I will soon be purchasing a new PC running Windows 7. I need to know how to migrate my iTunes Library and apple devices to the PC. Is there a previously published support document on this topic? Thank You.

    Connect a blank powered external drive to the PC.
    Right click on the Disk in the File manager and choose format: exFAT 
    (if it's a XP machine, first install exFAT from Microsoft and reboot)
    navigate to your user account folders on the PC and drag and drop copy (or copy and paste) to the external drive.
    (if a program has your files, then export them out first)
    Hook up the drive to the Mac, and transfer files to the desktop or to their same appropritate folders.
    Import photo's into iPhoto program, import music into iTunes etc and they will manage those files.
    You can continue to use the external exFAT drive between Mac's and PC's
    Do not format the drive NTFS or FAT, NTFS can't be written too by the Mac and FAT can't hold over 4GB sized files.
    If you format exFAT on the Mac, it likely won't work correctly on the  PC.
    "Migration" type programs are a utter waste of time and effort between PC's and Mac's for the fact that only certain files (and no programs or anything else) will work between them, also it's a hassle and takes too long. So don't even bother with it.

  • Does anybody know how to resolve error 36 which comes up when I'm trying to save files onto my external hard drive?, Does anybody know how to resolve error 36 wgich comes up when I'm trying to save files onto my external hard drive?

    When I try to drag files into my hard drive, it says the Finder can't complete the operation because some data can't be read or written (Error Code -36). This is happening even when dragging files back into the external drive which had originally come from there. Does anyone know how to deal with this issue? Thanks!

    Error -36 is, as X423424X says, a generic I/O error. It doesn't say anything about what caused the error, or indeed where it occurred (source or target).
    You have to describe exactly your action when the error occurs. Is the ext'l drive you mentioned formatted as NTFS (Win default file system)? Without additional software, Mac OS X cannot write to NTFS, it can only read from it.

  • How to re-create itunes library with the original itunes library files?

    My harddrive was dying so I brought it in to get it replaced. After the replacement was done, my itunes didn't seem to work properly. All my songs are still in the same folders but the library appeared to be corrupted.  I attempted to reimport the itunes xml file but still no good.
    My question: Is there a way to re-generate a brand new itunes library? All my songs are still intact in \music directory.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi Limnos,
    Thx for the link. I use the http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589 within your link and re-import the \music folder. Works like magic.

    Explicit details, please.

    hello, this is nothing that shipped with a genuine mozilla update. you have numerous malicious extensions installed. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • I got a message saying my virtual memory was full and need to know how to get rid of some of the info

    1. I was editing an article, and the screen went grey every time i typed in one character. It encouraged me to start again, but the same thing kept happening, until it finally said the virtual memory was filled, and I had to go to "help" to fix the problem. So here I am Help!!! Sahra

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

    You can check the memory usage by Firefox on the about:memory page.
    You can open <b>about:</b> pages via the location/address bar like you open a web page.

  • Laptop crashed need to know how to get my purchases back

    My computer crashed and I need to know how to get my purchases back. To make matters even better, the media on my phone was deleted even though it was checked off not to sync it. I absoloutely hate itunes with a passion and every day it seems to do something else....this being the most maddening thing I have encountered so far.
    Does anyone know how I can get my music back? Or does apple pretty much have my money and I have nothing to show for it?

    It is basic to maintain a backup.
    Have you failed to do so?

    If you buy a CD from best buy and lose it, do they just give you another?

    After you change the account settings as I described below hold your finger on any app until they all wriggle, then tap the "-" on each purchased with her Apple ID. Press the HOME button when done. Then go to the App Store and buy or download the apps you want.

  • Hi I just need to know how I can upload folders of photos to icloud and send a link to clients as in Mobile Me, I'm a professional photographer so it needs to be as good as the mobile me. I've been looking at alternatives but need to be able to send links

    Hi I just need to know how to upload folders of images to iCloud and send links to clients from my iphone when on location as was simple with MobileMe. I'm a professional photographer so it needs to be as easy as it was under Mobile Me. I've looked at several alternatives but they don't seem to give the same facilities of uploading folders from the Mac then sending the link from the iphone. It seems that the iCloud does n't offer this facility so any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are doing this from your phone (as you mention) then you can use the new iPhoto Photo Journal feature to do this.
    Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage.
