Laptop died, need itunes help....

my laptop died on me, and i dont think ill be able to fix it anytime soon. i am going to use my wifes computer to run itunes and sync my iphone. her computer alredy has itunes on it because she recently owned an iphone as well. what will i need to do in order to make her itunes, my new itunes? i have all my music and pictures and everything on an external hard drive, so i have that covered. but what will need to be done in order to make it my account, and not hers? and to be able to create a new backup from my phone?
thanks!

Create a new account on the laptop then transfer the files on the external hardrive to it, then just load them on it iTunes and sync. Pretty simple really shame I didn't have an external hard rive before mine died on me.

Laptop died need to move Serial Number

I have my install CD and want to install Adobe on a new machine. But my laptop died before I could remove the Serial Number. How do I free up the Serial Number for installation on a new machine?

I used to be able to find things, but they have screwed up the web site so much I really don't know where to direct folks anymore. Everything seems to still be there, but they keep moving things around (much like what they do with the tools in Acrobat). There should be an 800 number to call for support. I have heard that they can help on the chat system too. The chat is probably easier.

Need Itunes Help can't connect

For about the last three days I haven't been able to connect to the Itune Store. I've restarted my computer, removed Itunes and redownloaded it and i still get the same message...
Itunes could not connect to the Itunes Store. The network connection was refused. Then in the same box it also says make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.
Need your help not sure what to do none of my settings have changed.

I have the same problem, as well when I try logging in I get an error message,
*We could complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (306).*
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
I also have iTunes on my iPhone with no problems.

Can I use windows Me/98 with my ipod nano and I need itunes help??!!

Hey!!,
Ok so I just recieved my Ipod nano today from the post man! and I want to use it with windows Me/98 is that possible?
I also downloaded the newest version of itunes and it said that "itunes requires that your computer is running windows
2000 or windows XP".Can I use a later version of itunes with me ipod nano and where can I download it from ?!
someone please help me Im dying to use my ipod nano!!

You cannot use iTunes under Windows 98/ME. For just synchronizing tracks with your iPod, you could get a third-party utility such as Anapod, Ephpod, or Xplay for handling the transfer. I haven't used any of these and I don't know if any support the new iPod nanos, so I can't make any recommendations. These applications cannot connect to the iTunes Music Store, so unless you upgrade, you won't be fully supported and will not be able to purchase tracks from the iTMS.
I strongly suggest you consider upgrading your version of Windows, though. Windows ME is no longer supported by Microsoft and it's going to get harder and harder to find applications that will work under 95/98/ME.
Hope this helps.

I need iTunes help!!

Okay! My iPod touch recently got stolen. ): But I got a new one. My old iTunes account was on my dad's computer, but he deleted it. I re-downloaded it and all my music and apps were gone. So I made a new account and I re-downloaded iTunes onto my mom's laptop. The music is on it and stuff but, it won't sync. It'll say something up at the top where it loads the sync like "waiting for sync to start, perparing to sync, waiting for changes to be applied" but it doesn't sync. My account is all set up on the laptop and all the music is on there, but it just won't sync it. :O Help please. I'm going crazy!! D:

Bonjour is a service that allows a user to share his/her Shared Music in iTunes across a local network.
If you feel the need to remove the Bonjour protocol and reinstall, have a look at the following pages:

Why does my Lenovo XP Pro SP3 laptop die with itunes 10.6?

Latest Windows patches are applied, but when I start iTunes it canl cause the laptop to power off sometimes.
This never happened before I upgraded to iTunes 10.6.3.25 yesterday.
I checked the autoruns (MS sysinternals) Winsock Providers as suggested in a support document, and all I have is Bonjour from Apple.
It is version 3.0.0.10

TS1702 need itunes help

ok so every time i try to download an app it wont load it just says waiting. I have tried shutting off my phone and restarting it, ive tried to delete the app and download again (no luck), ive also tried backing up my phone as well. It seems like everything i try it wont work. I have had a few other issues with the iphone5 and itunes and apps in the past, I.E. my music will not back up to my itunes on my pc. Any thoughts suggestions would be great

If you are in a country where you can redownload music, and if it's still in your country's store, then you might be able to redownload some/all of it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone, and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can redownload music then do you have it in your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads ?

Reinstalling OS, need iTunes help

I'm planning on reinstalling my origianl OS soon and was wondering if it's possible to save my playlists and artwork so that I can transfer it back once the install is complete? I spent a HUGE amount of time getting the artwork onto iTunes and would hate to have to go through it again.
Since we're on the subject, is there an easier way to get the album covers on there besides downloading the pictures off the internet and copying/pasting them?
Thanks!

Next is true for iTunes 5(0.1).
Your playlists, play counts and ratings are stored in your Library file in ~/Users/yourusername/Music/iTunes.
Make a backup copy of that file and store it at a safe place.
Your artwork resides in your music files.
Also backup your preferences. They are in ~/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences.
Backup the files named:
com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
com.apple.iTunes.plist
com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
CD Info.cidb
After you re-installed your OS, you should install the same iTunes version you use now.
I don't know how older iTunes versions handle newer library files; things could go wrong.
Put your music in the exact location as you have now.
Copy the files you have saved (library file and preference files) to the same location as you have now. Replace newer versions if a window comes up and warns you about that
Run iTunes and all should be there.
Note: I have never done this, so it's my experience which tells me it should work this way. No warranty. If I am wrong I hope others will correct me.
For getting album covers there are several ways. For example this Applescript http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=findalbumartwork
I myself like the freeware application Clutter (http://www.sprote.com/clutter/). One of it's features is to search for artwork at the Internet and when it has found it, you can transfer it to all tracks of an album at once.

Beginner in java and need your help about DES

hello,
I m a new guy in java programming and learn from many books.I m making a website and portal right now and dying need your help about DES.my portal (using java) requires somebody to make a login name and a password.I m done with the server and client things and rite now stuck with this "DES" stuff.
so I make some conditions and algorithm below..
1. when a user login,the password is encrypted.at this point,cleartext(id) and encryption (M,N) are involve.
2. then the key is changed based on algorithm.
3.the key changed by key(id) is received and the original text should be encrypted.
the algorithm
1. the original text x1.x2.x3.x4.x5.x6.x7.x8 (64 bits)
2. encypt the password
a. Each character is changed into an int type by the ASCII code, and let the 1st bit be an odd number parity bit.
b.The 1st bit of the 1st character in (IP) is set to '1', and the 8th bit of the 8th character as '64'.
c.the rest (IP) is like this
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
0 # 58 50 42 34 26 18 10 2
8 # 60 52 44 36 28 20 12 4
16 # 62 54 46 38 30 22 14 6
24 # 64 46 48 40 32 24 16 8
32 # 57 49 41 33 25 17 9 1
40 # 59 51 43 35 27 19 11 3
48 # 61 53 45 37 29 21 13 5
56 # 63 55 47 39 31 23 15 7
d. and lastly,from above,,it should be done like this
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
0 # 40 8 48 16 56 24 64 32
8 # 39 7 27 15 55 23 53 31
16 # 38 6 26 14 54 22 52 30
24 # 37 5 25 13 53 21 51 29
32 # 36 4 24 12 52 20 50 28
40 # 35 3 23 11 51 19 49 27
48 # 34 2 21 10 50 18 48 26
56 # 33 1 20 9 49 17 47 25
e. key y1,y2,y3,y4,y5,y6,y7,y8 (64bit)
f. generate the key based on ID
a. Each character is changed into an int type by the ASCII code, and let the 1st bit be an even number parity bit.
b.the process is repeat again.
anybody has an idea to help me with the sample program?
thanks in advance...

just ask about a simple program how to receive a
password from somebody and change it to a key..and
then confirm it with DES.Once again I have a problem understanding what you are asking.
Are you trying to use the password as a key to encrypt some 'standard thing' and place this encrypted value in a database? If so then look in the JCE for 'password based encryption' such as PBEWithMD5AndDes. This seems back to front to me but I can see nothing wrong with the approach since the 'standard thing' you would encrypt is in effect a key. If this is for a commercial application then I would find a security expert to evaluate your proposal!
In my experience it is more normal to encrypt the user's password with DES and store the result in the database. To do this just look in the JCE for DES encryption and consider using DES with CBC and PKCS5 padding. Also, consider encrypting the concatenation of the user's 'user name' with the password as this will (almost certainly) avoid having two encrypted values in the database that are the same even if two users have the same password.
For both of these you might consider using Base64 or Hex to turn you encrpted bytes into ASCII characters before trying to store them in your DB.
