Logic won't authorize keeps asking me to re-submit my license.How do I authorize my new computer? When logic opens up it doesnt show that it is licesned to me! Does anyone have any thoughts what to do? Thanks Justin

Ahh-llahhn,
you’ll need to make a backup of your MacBook Pro, erase its internal disk, and reïnstall from scratch to associate your MacBook Pro with a new Apple ID.

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had.

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content.

My New Computer and My External Hard Drive Not Compatible

I just purchased a brand new Dell Inspiron with windows 8. I had a Seagate back up hard drive on my old Dell. I wanted to move some things (especially my pictures) to the new computer from the external hard drive, but when I tried to install, I get a message "Operating System Not Supported". Now what? I'm somewhat technologically challenged.
Thank you.

You need to go into your BIOS settings and make sure that the external drive isn't set to boot.
An easier way around this is to unplug the drive from the computer until it has fully loaded.
If that doesn't work, post back.

I bought a new computer, and iTunes doesn't have my music or anything on there. I want to get everything on my iPhone to my new computer/itunes. But no matter what i do, it won't let me. My desktop has everything, and I want all that on my laptop..

I bought a new computer, and downloaded iTunes, therefore the new itunes doesn't have my music or anything on there. I want to get everything on my iPhone to my new computer/itunes. But no matter what I do, it won't let me. My desktop has everything that my phone has on it, I just want it all moved to my laptop. Does that make sense? I could really use some help. I don't live with this desktop anymore so I need to be able to use my laptops itunes. Please help me. Thanks in advance!

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Log in after buying a new computer and reformatting old hard drive

Hi,
I just reformatted old laptop and bought and new laptop. Both are completely newly installed windows 7. I did not back up my bookmarks from before, but I thought using a username/password, I can relog onto firefox sync and have all my bookmarks restored. I am finding this very difficult since every time I try that, the firefox sync asks me to add a device from the main computer. Well this IS my main computer!!
I have an android phone with firefox and old bookmarks all saved... is there a way to restore my bookmarks from my Android firefox back onto my new laptop?
Thanks

Are you talking about emails?

Unusual Shared Computer and Lost External Hard Drive

I cannot mount a Acomdata HD250FE5-72 external hard drive on my iMacG5. I can't find it in Disk Utility and I can't find it on my new MacBook. My TimeMachine hard drive is daisy chained to it and is working fine. The light on the front is red and flashes blue about once a sec.
I also have a Shared Computer in the Finder named mac001ff3d22ed4, which I cannot connect to. It maybe related or just coincidence. Any advice?
I found the drive in TimeMachine as a folder. Assuming the HD is hosed, how do I go about restoring that drive? I assume I need to purchase a new HD to restore to. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know if your problem is related to the drive being encrypted, but here's a solution for getting SecureHD Login to work on Leopard.
First make sure you follow this guide to uninstall the old version of SecureHD Login you have: http://www.techsupportlive.com/techsupport/MAC/SecureHDLogin/SecureHD_Login_(Uninstall)_User_guide_for_MacX.pdf
Then download and install this version of the software: http://www.techsupportlive.com/index.php?m=downloads&a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=60&nav=0,8

I need to copy audio files and projects from logic to an external hard as my MBPis nearly full and my external hard drive has packed up with all my files on it, any suggestions on how do I copy 200GB from my MBP to a new external HD

I Use logic and back my audio file and projects on an external HD ,this has now packed up . I have all the files in the MBP , but need to copy them to a new external HD, I have only 10GB left on my machine , how do I copy 200GB from my machine to a new External HD.
any helpful full advice would be appreciated.

Yes, just drag and drop them into the drive..
How long will it take? Hard to say without knowing the type and speed of the drives in question.. and even then it's hard to estimate... but does time really matter?
The fact you only have 10 Gigs left will/may slow the process down but it wont/shouldn't stop it...
If needed.. just drag and drop some of the files at a time.. not all of them.
Remember that copying files doesn't delete them from the original drive... You will still need to delete them yourself after they are copied over and empty the trash....
However....
When you saved these projects in Logic (Pro X?) did you save them using the include audio files option?
If not, then when you move the audio files used in these projects... Logic will not know where they are to reload them........ and that will cause you issues.
So.. if you didn't...
I would use this method instead...
Logic Pro X: Move, copy, and convert audio files

10.4.9 and now USB Hard Drive(s) Won't Mount

After running the combo updater on my Intel Core Duo iMac 17" my LaCie BigDisk won't mount nor will my 60GB USB hard drive that I use to backup my MacBook (though this drive DOES mount on the MacBook without any problems). All other USB devices (and my 160GB Western Digital USB Hard Drive and 300GB Seagate FireWire hard drive mount and work fine on the iMac). My LaCie BigDisk wouldn't mount on my MacBook at first, but eventually mounted ONCE on the MacBook. I have tried repairing permissions, rebooting, using an older IOUSBFamily.kext (that was a nightmare and required some CLI experience to undo without having to find a firewire cable that long enough to reach around my desk to use the iMac via Target Mode on the MacBook good thing I saved the original).
At any rate here is the error output in Console.app:

Anyone else having this problem?

Crashed hard drive with Itunes - How do I set up new computer and Ipod

My hard drive crashed. I did have a backup of my Itunes folder. I installed Itunes on the new computer, copied the folders over from the backup and everything is OK in Itunes, but I can't play any of the tunes that were purchased from Itunes. It says the computer is not authorized. I went through and authorized each tune, and I also authorized the computer globally.
I set up my playlists again, etc.
When I went to synch the IPOD, the only thing that copies over are the tunes that had been uploaded from CD"s. Everything else is gone from the Ipod.
I tried to call support...but I couldn't understand the accent so decided to call back later.
any suggestions for what I might do next?
Need to Authorize the computer so it takes...
Need to synch Itunes to Ipod

For songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store, you can download them again to your new computer at no cost. In iTunes, go to the iTunes Store Home screen. Sign in (if you are not already) using the Apple ID used to make those purchases. Click on Purchased, under QUICK LINKS. On the Purchased screen, you can find and download previous purchases (that are not already in that iTunes library).
Then, sync your shuffle to that library, as desired.

Hi. When you were in the recovery drive doing permissions, did you try and run a repair of the boot drive? Did you try single user mode? Try these first and then go back and try to reinstall the operating system.When I say repair boot drive I don't mean permissions. There are both options in disk utilities.When you open disk utilities ,you will see in the left column two drives plus possibly a boot partition that look like an external driv. click on the second drive and in first aid use repair disk. If you still can't boot and it will not let you restore, you may have to do a clean install. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18869?viewlocale=en_US

My MacBook Pro keeps making copies of a document that I am trying to save. I don't want to duplicate the file. I only want to save it on both my hard drive and my external hard drive. I do not want to change its name for every save, which the computer seems insistent on doing. Help!!

Sounds like a permissions problem ie read only.
If running repair permissions from your DiskUtility.app does not sort it,

Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous.

Recently changed my password and ID but never received the message to verify. How do I verify?y

I have recently changed my password and Apple ID. The instructions that I received aid that I would receive a message to verify. I have never gotten this message and so ...how do I verify?

On your iPhone go to Settings > Store.
Select the Apple ID at the bottom.
Select Sign Out at the menu selection provided.
Follow this by signing in with your new Apple ID/iTunes store account.
All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. In order to install an app update for the apps downloaded with your previous Apple ID/iTunes account, you will need to use that account and password.
