My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this address  as it got hacked.  How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address?  In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address,  I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.'   Advice please!

Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.

  • My old computer crashed, so I bought a new computer. How can I get my IPOD music in the new computer

    my old computer crashed. I bought a new one. I installed Itunes, with a new account. I cannot get my music from my ipod touch to the new computer. It is all music I had downloaded from cd's I have purchased through the years. Every time I try to authorize the new computer, it wants a credit card number for the ITunes store. I don't want to buy more music now, I just want to be able to get my songs in my new computer. This is driving me crazy. any help, since the phone support is not available when I am. Thanks.

    The music sync is one wa - copmputer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.  Use your backup to  put everything back

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

  • I had my Itunes account disabled due to fraud, if i create a new itunes account how can i switch purchases and apps to the new ID?

    Hi ...
    Just be cause the account was disabled (Apple ID) doesn't mean you can't reset the password and have access to your iTunes purchases.
    Use the iforgot link to reset your password > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    If you have problems resetting, use the email form here >   Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

  • I exported my passwords to a flash drive, and have a new computer. How do I get those passwords moved to the NEW machine?

    I exported my passwords to a flash drive, and have a new computer. How do I get those passwords moved to the NEW machine?

    Firefox doesn't have an "export" feature built into it for password data.
    Exactly what did you do to "export" your passwords?
    Did you use this extension?
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/
    If so, see the screenshots on that page to see the Import function.
    If you copied the two files that are used for storing passwords from the old computer to back them up, just copy those 2 files into the Profile folder on the new computer to restore them.

  • How can I get my Nook purchases into the NOOKBOOK Library area on my IPAD mini?

    How can I get my Nook purchases into the NOOKBOOK Library area on my IPAD mini?

    Not possible. iBook will not read or even be aware of the
    Nook books.

  • I am trying to install an app.  When I click install, my old gmail account  shows and asks for my password etc but I have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple id.  How can I get it to default to the new gmail?

    I am trying to install an app in my iphone.  When I click Install, my old gmail account comes up for verification and it asks for my password etc.  I dont use this account anymore and have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple account.  How can I get the new gmail to default when I am trying to install apps?

    Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
    Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

  • How can I get a Mac to redo the new machine setup?

    Hey gang-
    Is there a way to get a Mac to redo the new machine setup dialogs the way a Mac does the first time it is started out of the box? I'm selling my iBook and it would be nice for the new owner to be presented with that. I know I could do it by erasing and reinstalling the original CDs, but I'd like to include the various incremental Software Updates that I've done to save the new user the trouble.
    Is there a way to get a Mac to do this?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    John's method may work for the most part, but there are some things to be aware of that might cause problems for you or the new owner.
    First, it doesn't get rid of everything you have installed or caused to be created in /Library or any of the caches except those in the /User folder. Some of the /Library items are probably things you want to pass on to the new owner, such as plug-ins that support apps. Some aren't, such as many of the /Library/Preferences items set by an admin user. Some may even contain sensitive data.
    Second, you will be passing on a lot of clutter of dubious value to the new user, like logs, & any corruption of files that an Erase & Install would get rid of.
    Third, Setup Assistant may or may not be designed to work & play well with updated apps & system components. This is unchartered territory. It may "undo" some of the things you want the new owner to have, or not.
    Forth, if you have set up, for example, the Apache web server or any other UNIX-based service that required root or sudo access, these files will not necessarily be in their default state.
    Fifth, there may be support items in /Users/Shared for both Apple & third party apps. John's step 4 will erase them.
    Sixth, you need to consider OS 9 folders if you have used Classic, particularly if you have migrated anything from an older Mac. You may have user items, preferences, etc. that need to be purged.
    Seventh, I probably have forgotten other things that more knowledgeable folk can fill you in on.
    So, while it is possible to do what you want, it isn't really as easy as it seems. A better approach, & one that will serve both you & the new owner better in the long run, is to completely wipe the drive with a secure erase. Consider making a "bonus" CD or DVD for the new owner with all the latest updates, as a companion to the original installer set.
    Something else to consider: If the Mac that you are putting up for sale did not come with Tiger, you can't include it legally in your sale unless you include the retail DVD & license you used to install it. The same is true of any apps that you might have added to the used Mac, including shareware you payed for. Aside from the ethical implications, you do not want to run into problems because of "shared" registration codes should you need them for support or upgrades.

  • I changed the captions for my family photos to include names, but when I exported the photos to make DVD's for family members, the old captions were there and not the new ones. How can I make a DVD to include the new captions with names?

    I have labeled old family photos with names that I would like to share at a family reunion via DVD. When I export the photos to make the DVD, the old photo labels are back rather than the new labels with names. Can I export the photos with the new titles?

    iPhoto shows you these Titles but the Finder shows you Filenames
    If you export (File -> Export) you'll get the Export dialogue. Note the option at FileName to use the Title as filename for the exported photo

  • HT1349 If I have changed my computer how can I recover my music library into the new one?

    How can I do this? any help will be much appreciated
    Thanks

    If you have made backups of your desktop before it crashed it's a simple matter to restore the backup to your repaired computer. I hope you did this, because it's likely you lost much more than your purchases.
    Restoring purchases is easy; you just download them again.

  • How can I get Lightroom 5.7 into the "Open With" menu on an external Harddrive?

    Using Lightroom 5.7, I imported photo images as a .dng.  I edited the images in lightroom.  Then I dragged the file from the local Disk (C) to an external Hard drive (left panel of Library).  When I look in the External harddrive, I would like to see thumbnails of the images. I think I would like to open the images in Lightroom but I cannot get Lightroom into the "Open With" dropdown menu.  Photo shop, Adobe Reader and a bunch of Windows photo editing stuff is in there but I cant seem to get Lightroom into this menu. 

    The "open with" command is used to open images that are already in Lightroom in another external editor such as Photoshop or Photoshop Elements or some other photo editing program. And you are opening an image that you are already seeing in Lightroom. So Lightroom won't be on the list and cannot be on the list because you are already looking at the images in Lightroom.
    Concerning the images that you moved to the external hard drive, if you actually moved them using Lightroom then you should be able to see that external hard drive in the library module library tree and be able to choose that folder. Then the images will be in Lightroom and you can continue working on them. There doesn't need to be any "open with" to do that. If you moved those images some other way, please explain.

  • How can i get that wallpaper picture in the new imac ad

    The new Imac ad has this AMAZING picture of a multi-colored flower as it's wallpaper (maybe).  Is that picture downloadable from Apple or is it part of an app/

    The best I could suggest is this.  It's close to what you're looking for, but not exactly:
    Go to http://www.apple.com/imac/design/
    Click "View the Gallery" near the top.  Go to the fourth picture in the gallery.  Control click, and select "Use as Desktop Picture" if you like it.

  • How can I get Live TV working on the new Android app

    I have FIOS for internet and TV but do not use the Verizon router for WIFI (it is too slow and does not cover enough of my house). I just downloaded the new Android version of the My FIOS app with Live TV, but it will not let me view TV and tells me that I have to be connected to the FIOS router. The router I use for WIFI is connected to the FIOS router via ethernet. The app has asked for and received my Verizon credentials. So why won;t the app let me watch Live TV?

    I have the same setup and the same issue.
    Looks to me like the app isn't smart enough to make the double hop to the VZ router.
    I changed my connection to connect directly to the VZ router and at least it now attempts to connect but still cannot get it to work - probably the now the signal is so bad that it never makes a connection. 

  • When I click the home button, it takes me to my home page AND opens a blank tab. How can I get it to stop opening the new tab!

    I have igoogle as my hompage. When I click the home button, it will open my igoogle page but also open up a blank tab as well. Firefox didn't always do this, it just started. Maybe when I upgraded to the 5.0. I've tried looking in the options and I can't find something there and there doesn't seem to be a solution on the web. How do I get it to stop doing that?

  • Illustrator CS 6 won't paste into a text box/paragraph of text, instead pastes a new line of text in the upper left corner of my document. How can I get it to paste into the selected paragraph or highlighted text like normal?

    I've done it a million times, I copy a selection of type...I select the type that I want to replace it with, and then I paste. Now, Illustrator will only paste the text as a "point text" (a single line) somewhere else on the artboard—it seems to always be the upper left corner of the art board.

    peg,
    In cases of sudden appearance of strangenesses, the list may be relevant, hopefully the easy part at the top.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • My screenshots have stopped going to my clipboard. How can I get my screenshots back into the clipboard?

    I use Command (⌘)-Shift-4 to grab screenshots of diagrams to make flashcards with on a daily basis. But now my screenshots have stopped going to my clipboard - and they don't paste into my flashcards.
    Dropbox popped up and asked me if I wanted to use it to save my screenshots and I said No Thanks, but then right after that my screenshot function stopped working. I can still save shots to my desktop, but I'd love to not clutter my desktop.  The screenshots are not going to dropbox either, I checked.
    Can someone tell me how to get my screenshots to go back to going into my clipboard?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Lanny! I actually typed in the wrong command into my question - I meant to type what you mentioned. But I did end up figuring it out: for some reason the shortcut to screenshot into my clipboard changed. I was able to restore all my shortcut commands back to default and it worked again!
    Thanks!
