Can I reinstall GB '09 without losing filters, loops, etc?
My GB '09 that I use for creating my podcast on my iMac has been getting a little flakey of late. For example, the digital timer no longer runs while I'm recording. I'm thinking a re-install might fix that and other minor problems. But if I reinstall, will I lose the loops, filters, plugins, etc. that I have and rely on?
Thanks!
Ugh, quite an ordeal! Sorry to hear that, but glad you seem to be back up and running.
As for your own loops, you may just need to reindex them.

In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download. Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?
The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

Can I reinstall CS6 & Lightroom without losing one of my 2 computers?
I've just had a meltdown on my laptop and had to get a new hard drive which wiped out everything from the former one. Can i now reinstall both of my programs on this SAME laptop without it considering it to be the 2nd of my permissable computers allowed with the license? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE say yes....and then more importantly......HOW? Thanks for all input!
no, this will be considered a 2nd install/activation because the hd is different.
to reset your activation count and preserve your 2nd install/activation, contact adobe support - http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html -
Can I reinstall GB '09 without losing my settings and past creations?
Garageband keeps showing a frozen timer. I can fix it briefly by repairing permissions but it fairly quickly loses that repair. I've also tried some of the other basic GB solutions. I'm thinking maybe reinstalling the app would be a good idea but don't want to lose any of the podcasts and loops I've created.
Thanks!

David, what have you tried? Did you try already HangTime's oddball problem fix to remove the preferences ?

Reinstalling GarageBand will not delete any of your projects. But before reinstalling check your backup, if it is current and update it, if necessary - better safe than sorry.
You installed GarageBand probably from the iLife installation media and updated later. When you reinstall from the DVDs, make sure that you run software update immediately to update again to the latest version before you try to open your projects again, otherwise you will not be able to open them.

my laptop had a virus and I am trying to sync my IPHONE 4 to my desktop, how can I sync my phone without losing all my music, apps and contacts?
You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone. -
I have a few devices on one apple id and would like to switch out one of my phones so they have there own apple id do I have to restore the phone as new or can i somehow switch it without losing all apps and music in iTunes?
Hello lynnettefromsk,
The article linked below details all of the locations that you may need to change your Apple ID. This process should not affect the state of anything on the device at the time.

Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is backing up data from the iPhone before installing the new operating system. I have done everything suggested in Apple support with no success. I still get the error everytime (about 5 minutes into backing up iPhone data). How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my iPhone (the error message says that if I continue I will lose all data on the phone)? If I have already synced the phone before upgrading the OS, would I be able to restore my data after installing the new OS by syncing after the OS upgrade is complete? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first. -
In disk utility, it shows that my external hard drive is somehow unmounted and I can't access it in finder or repair it in Disk Utility. How can I get this working without losing my important data?
Thank you!When you erased the disk did you select Mac OS Extended Journaled as the format option?

I am travelling for a year. I have my iPod touch 4g with me, but not my MacBook. Is there a way I can update to IOS 5 without losing my music,apps, photos..
Yes. get a computer with iTune 10.5 and:
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other stuff using a third-party program like one of those discussed here. Most are good for music. It is harder to find one for other stuff like synced photos.
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up
- Restore the iPod from backup and sync as neccessary. -
I want to know if we can change our Apple ID without losing all our apps and informations?
Hi,
I wanted know if we can change our Apple ID without losing all our apps and information? We've been having problems with our current emails, and we want to change to a different email address. However, we've been hearing that everything associated with our emails now can be deleted.. We don't know if that's true or not? Thank YouHi Elizan,
Just to make sure you are aware - it is REALLY important to delete the iCloud account on your devices and computers before you change your ID! As the article that picas provided, you should also sign out of Messages, Facetime, etc. but the iCloud one is the one that will cause you real grief if you don't delete it before the change.
Just wanted to let you know!
Cheers,

I just bought my cousin's ipod, and I want to update it on my computer. However, it needs authorization from his account to keep all the apps, and he's already authorized it on 5 computers. How can I update this ipod without losing all the apps?
You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.
Hi Peru Bob,
I've tried two images, the results were:
Image 1
Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
Image 2
Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected? -
How can I turn off iCloud without losing my documents?
How can I turn off iCloud without losing my documents?
When I try to sign out Icloud I get the warning (( If you turn off Documents & Data, all documents stored in Icloud will be removed from this Mac))
I don,t want to remove my document on my computer, what should I do?If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac. Then turn off icloud.
Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud. In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
You can move these files to another folder to save them. -
How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress?
How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress? Is there a way through iCloud? I have an 8gb 4th gen iPod touch. I have a lot of music, so with 8gb, space is limited. Some apps I have take up 20-30 MB. Some of these games I don't play that much, but I don't delete them because I have made a lot of progress (levels, scores, acheivements). It would be nice to delete some of these 30 MB apps that take up precious space, and them redownload them in the future when I have more space, but without having to start the whole game over.
Also, I read somewhere that there might be a way to do this with iCloud, but I don't really know how.
Thanks!This is the only way I know of. It is messy though.
