My hard disk crashed and I cannot find out how to "contact customer service" other than this forum. The website seems to just take me in a circle. I need to de-activate a license but cannot access the software due to a crashed hard drive. Please help.

Is it possible to reorder an iPhoto book 2 years later? My hard drive crashed and the photo book is no longer in my iPhoto but Apple printed it for me before the crash. Would Apple still be able to print another copy?

For future books you might consider doing what I do: create a separate library for each book andcopy the photos for the book from your working library to the book library with iPhoto Library Manager.
When the book is completed and ordered burn the library package to a CD, DVD or external HD to archive it so it's available for editing and reordering at a later date if needed.

Itunes was reinstalled on my MacAir and in the process my playlists disapeared. How can I sync theses playlists which are still on my Ipod back to the iTunes library? PS: these are not purchased from iTunes, they are my own cd's.Thanks.

TS3212 My hard disk crashed and I've gotten a new one and can't download iTunes, any suggestions?

I had a hard disk crash on my laptop, got it replaced and am using Windows 7 and trying to re-install iTunes using Google Chrome, but it keeps saying thank you for downloading iTunes without giving me the option to run or save the program first. And of course I cannot find it or a shortcut to it anywhere on my system. So it's obviously not downloading. Anybody know how to fix this issue??

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My photos are in the wrong albums and some photos are missing all together. How can I make them go back to their correct albums?

iTunes is placing my photos in the wrong albums and some photos are missing all together. How can I make them go to their correct albums?

Nevermind. I just renamed the folder on my mac and synced it again and everything is now in its proper place.

My Hard disk crashed and I didn't have all the songs backed up

I had to replace my hard disk and only had 3,000 or so songs backed up - I have a total of about 5,000 songs on my 30 Gig Video iPod. Many of the songs I didn't have backed up were purchased songs from iTunes. Is there a way to move those songs from my iPod to my new hard disk?

This is what you will want to do, you will want to go into the tools menu in your windows explorer. Select folder options, click on the view tab. Once you are on the view tab, click on the folder that says hidden files and folders. On the hidden files and folders click show hidden files and folders. Then click ok on the folder options window. When you open the ipod now you will see the ipod control folder. In that folder there will be a music folder. Open that. There will be a number of folders that will begin with F00 you will want to go into the folder and you will see a bunch of song files with coded names. You will want to drag them to where it says library in itunes. The songs will automatically rename themselves to the correct name. Go through each one of the folders like this and your library will be restored.
The only thing that I would tell you is that this will duplicate all the songs in your library. So I would clear your entire library before you start this process

Restoring iTunes library after hard disk crash and replacement

My iTunes library was on my hard drive which crashed and died last week. I now have a new hard drive. My iPod 80gb was up to date before the new hard drive was installed... can I copy the content of the iPod back to the new hard drive... HOW???
Alternatively I have a backup of my old hard drive (which included the "My Music/iTunes" folders... can I restore from there?... I tried simply copying files which didn't work. I also tried "Add folder" from iTunes, it kind of worked but many of the tunes were grayed out and had a download icon next to them, even though they were previously ripped from CDs or bought through iTunes.
what should I do???

Hey Dave W RI,
Perhaps, it would be more helpful, for you to search this forum for terms like recover music, or something related.
That would return threads, from others, that have had this same question.
Hope this helps,

After my hard drive crashed and had to be replaced, Adobe will not activate the copy of Photoshop on the same machine it was originally on. I paid for it, why can't I use it?

I have been buying and using Adobe Photoshop through numerous versions over the past several decades. and I used to recommend it whenever I had an opportunity. Now I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. I could say a lot more than that, using words my parents taught me to not use.
Adobe now has their head in the clouds and doesn't care a whit about faithful customers.
I had CS3 on one machine, CS4 on another, and CS6 on another one. The hard drive on the machine with CS3 and had to be replaced. I am trying to install CS3 back on the same computer, but Adobe will not let me activate it, even though I am trying to put it on the computer it was originally on. I paid for it, I have gone by the rules, and Adobe will not even talk to me. And as far as I can determine, Adobe is so far out in the clouds that it has nothing but contempt for the people that kept them in business for decades!
What I would really like to do is move CS4 onto the machine that originally had CS3 on it, and put CS3 onto the machine that now has CS4, but I assume nobody at Adobe cases what I would like, even though I paid for the software and have no intention of trying to have it installed on more than one machine at a time.
An Unhappy FORMER Adobe customer.

Gene,
Thanks for your input. The first response was from Semaphoric, and the suggestion to go to Activation <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__helpx.adobe.com_x-2Dproductkb_policy-2 Dpricing_activation-2Ddeactivation-2Dproducts.html&d=AAMFaQ&c=2X_btuPRWkGwRX26NHIotw&r=SV2 7JiUdsqdd_EMOf-dq7w&m=ZZ3uTbq0aPS1gp4Hdc7Kfaq1cjXsUii7RKXoXvqBPGg&s=c6eaD33CSBrFAMNKsC0pPB qnQK4DfAG7wMSJ6E27pyU&e=> & Deactivation Help proved to be helpful. I was never able to activate CS3 on the computer it was on originally, but I had been unaware that a license allowed installing on two computers if only one is in use at any time, so I uninstalled CS3 and installed CS4 on the old computer, so I am happy about that.
When I get time, I will try to install and activate CS3 on my laptop computer. I thought about trying to install CS6 on the old computer, but CS6 is on my wife’s computer, and we are often both using Photoshop at the same time. I will probably install it on her notebook computer – if they will let me.
Thanks again,
RG

Computer hard drive crashed and rebuild but lost itunes library.

My computer crashed from a bad hard drive. After I put a new one in and rebuild the Vista OS I attempted to sync my Iphone.
Itunes prompted my device is already tie to another library and gave me a option to erase and startover.
Is it possible to push the content from the Iphone library back to the itunes desktop? Or do I have to restart from scratch.
From googling I learn it is important to backup *.itl and will do so from now on.

I just want to point out that it's important to back up C:\...\Music\iTunes\. This contains library data files as well as the music files themselves.
Is your music purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, look at this:

If not, we'll need to look at some third party options.

I have a 16 GB ipad2, and the "others" memory usage is in 2,8Gb. Does somebody know what is this about? How can I release space from that "others" issue?

Please help me to use better the available memory of my iPad2

Yeah, that's high.
First, try a system reset. I don't have too much confidence that it will help but it does cure many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
