what is the name of the folders which are the backup of Itunes library? I am recovering from a virus, have no workable desktop in Win XP, but can search and find files and folders. I would like to move these backup files to a new computer, authorize it and sync with Iphone 3Gs and Ipod 5th gen.

I second the whole iTunes folder approach.
If for some reason you have split the media folder from the library files then the media folder needs to restored to the same path it used to have while the library files can be copied into the music folder of your new profile.
If in dobut, backup up the entire Documents and Settings folder before wiping the infected drive, but be selective about what you restore as many viruses drop active components capable of reinfecting the compuer in the temp folders and internet caches. It is much easier to backup more than you need than to discover after the fact that you no longer have access to some vital project you'd been storing in a folder on the desktop.

I'm retiring my old computer (windows xp) to a new computer (windows 7). How can i easily move my itunes music from the old computer to the new computer? i have my playlists organized in my old computer, i would like it to stay that way in my new computer

i'm retiring my old computer (with windows xp) and bought a new computer (with windows 7). How can i easily move my itunes music from the old computer to the new computer? i have my playlists organized in my old computer, i would like it to stay that way in my new computer. I also have my ipods, iphone sync'd in the old computer so i want to make sure that things won't get messed up (my apps, playlists, etc) when i move over everything to the new computer and sync all my devices with the new computer.
Thanks in advance for the tips.

Make sure the XP box is upgraded to the latest version of itunes. Also make sure it's using the itunes media folder layout as explained here, because that's what the W7 is going to be using.

Install itunes on the new W7 PC.
Get these folders from the XP machine
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
And put them here on the W7 machine
C:\users\username\My Music\iTunes
C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- but can not see hidden files

Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- read on how to do this, but this involves being able to see the hidden fiels -- but can not see hidden files...any suggestions. Would like to transfer these files from iPod Touch to new laptop without software -- is that possible -- if not can anyone recommend a good free software to use?

There is no way to do so without software. I recently had a similiar task and was suggested to use iExplorer. It worked like a charm.
Refer to this page for iExplorer
Here is the page I was helped with on this task for reference: Export Songs
Hope this helps!

I would like to hook my older iPod to my newer computer.
How?

Hi, Tim.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on this question to provide a better answer. However, you should just need to have the most current version of iTunes installed and connect the device via the included USB cable.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB

I would like to move my purchases to my wife's computer and share our music.

My wife has all of our music on her computer. I would like to take advantage of all her hard work organizing her iTunes and create a playlist of music I wish to have on my iPhone. The hurdle I have it the tons of apps I have on my iPhone that I also wish to retain. Is this possible by either logging onto her computer separately under my name and utilize the music that way, or is it as simple as Authorizing iTunes on her computer and transferring my "purchases".

My friend needs to upgrade her Macbook Pro OS X but can't get into her internet. I would like to download the update but would need to use my password. Is this possible or should I just wait for her password?

My friend needs to upgrade to Yosemite but her network is faulty. I told her I would upgrade for her on my network. I don't have her Apple password at this time so I thought I would use mine. Is it possible to use my password and ID for this download?

She gave me her ID so everything is going as it should. That's what I thought but in a moment of wait I thought I would ask.
Many thanks,

Which are your favorite plugins for lightroom?

hi
just for curiosity
which are your favorite plugins for lightroom?
thanks

That's a very broad net you're casting.
I mean Flickr is flickr users favorite plugin, and those with Nik Collection may be fond of their Nik plugins...
Which plugin(s) you like / use really depends on the person and workflow.
I mean, I'm particularly fond of the plugins I've written, but that's because I understand how they work, they do what I want, and if ever I encounter a bug I fix it. But some people are not so fond of my plugins...
I have written over a 100 plugins, and use about 10% of them regularly, and about half of them not at all (the other 40% on an occasional basis).
In other words, plugins are a means to an end. If you have no desire for that end, you'll have no desire for the plugin that accomplishes it.
For example, TreeSyncPublisher is indispensible if you want to maintain an export tree external to Lightroom, but otherwise it may be useless. YMMV...
Perhaps a better question is:
"What are some good sources for plugins so I could peruse and find those that may help me get my job(s) done?"
Partial Answer:
* Rob Cole
* John Ellis
* Jeffrey Friedl
* John Beardsworth
(and be sure to visit the plugin exchange)
There are a lot of other great sources not mentioned here, and my apology in advance if I neglected you - nuthin' personal I assure you...
Sorry - I realize this wasn't exactly the answer you were looking for. I could give you a list of plugins I use most, but I fear it would not be of much value to you, since you probably would use a totally different cross section. Feel free to contact me outside the forum with questions about specific plugins.

When in mail, i would like to move emails to different folders other than the inbox, sent and trash can a folder be created?

When in mail i would like to move my emails to a different folder on mail account other than the inbox, sent and trash options, can i create a new folder?

The suggestion above is for MailBoxes on the Mac in the mail app and have nothing at all to do with the iPad. I think that you are asking about the iPad mail app.
You need to have an IMAP email account in order to create additional mailboxes on the iPad.
If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

Installed office for mac (trial version). now I got 2 excel files, which cannot be deleted. I googled the names of the sheets and found chinese websites I never visited. Are those dialers? How can I get rid of them? system is mac lion(with win 7 parallel)

I would like to share my photo's titles and descriptions in the photo streams into which I place these carefully labeled photos. I do this so clients can see the names of the things they're swiping through. Is this even possible?

When I download something from the Web, the "Downloads" window opens, but the window remains blank. Before it used to at least show the name of the file and I could open the file from the "Downloads" window. Is there a way to get this functionality back?

I'm running Windows XP which is updated to latest version (which I think might be Service Pack 3, but not positive.) Mozilla Firefox is version 5.0. I tend to use Google as my search engine so most of the stuff I download comes through sites found through Google, which is also updated.
At some time in the past (maybe a few versions ago) when I would download a file from the Web, the "Downloads" window would open and in the window would be displayed the name of the file I was downloading or had just completed downloading. I think I used to be able to then click on that file name and the file (or the installation file if needed to start the new program) would open. I am currently using Firefox 5.0 (the "About Firefox" screen says this is up to date) and when I download a file or document, the "Downloads" window appears on the screen as it always has in the past, but it remains blank, i.e., nothing appears in the downloads box. I don't remember making any configuration changes, etc., that may have caused the window to remain blank, but I could be mistaken. I know how to find the items I've downloaded (My Documents / Downloads) and can usually guess what the name of the downloaded file might be, but it used to be much easier when something (anything) showed up in the downloads window.
I'd love for someone to tell me about a simple fix for this. I'm willing to be quite embarrassed that I did something I shouldn't have.'''

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

I have 3 iTunes libraries on my one one computer and since I updated to the new version I can no longer see who's library I am in. It used to show at the top of iTunes the name of the library I was in. Is there a way I can tell which library I am in?

No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.
