Can't access music from IMac

I recently purchased a new 27" iMac and gave my older 24" iMac to my wife. She has all her music on an iPod that is registered to her old PC. I cannot access the PC since she's lost the password so cannot load her music off the iPod to her "new" iMac as I had planned to. The iMac recognizes the iPod but the only thing I can do is delete the content on the iPod. Help!

You have to be cautious about syncing with more than one computer but it is possible. Check this knowledge base article about syncing for more info. Note the use of Manual Syncing...that looks like the best approach to avoid tying the new iPhone to the computer.

Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu?

Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu

Here's one option: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12366
But frankly you'd be better off creating unique user accounts on the computer and having seperate iTunes libraries for each user as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495

When watching a slideshow I could always access music from my iTunes folder. Suddenly today I can only hear music under the 'theme' tab. I can see my music in iTunes but when I double click on it nothing happens!

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

Can i access apps from itunes on my pc

can i access apps from itunes on my pc?
I want to download my apps to my pc so I can clear some space on my iphone 4.
Then I can use the space for other things e.g music.
However at a later date I would like to access these apps and the data they have stored using my PC
Is this possible?
Or is this just another Mac problem?

Most apps will store their data locally on the device. This can be restored from a backup when restoring the device, but if you remove the app any data associated with it is removed, and then subsequently purged from the device's rolling backup set on the next backup. If the app supports iTunes File Sharing you may be able to export its data to your computer, then reimport at a later date when you add the app back to your device.

How can I take music from an USB and transfer it to the iPod? It tells me use use itunes to sync but the music is on an USB drive. It had worked in the past. Tks

How can I transfer music from an USB drive to the iPod. I can see the music and play it on the computer, but the iPod tells me to use iTunes to sync. The music is not on iTunes. It has worked in the past.....tks

These are just playlists. The songs there are really not duplicates of the songs. They are just a different location for accessing them. Some playlists can be deleted, some cannot. Ones that are created by iTunes cannot be deleted. Ones that you create can be. The Recently Added and the 90's cannot.

Can I download music from iTunes to 2 itouches

My computer with iTunes which my itouch was synced to crashed, literally died. I threw it out and had no back-up so lost everything on it (still don't know how to make backup). I bought a new computer, re-downloaded iTunes and my several days worth of music is now gone except for a few songs purchased so I am re-downloading my CDs which is a time consuming pain.
Here's my problem. My itouch only has one album on it (Chris brown's F.a.m.e.). I finally want to transfer my iTunes music to my itouch in case my computer crashes again and to listen to it there too which I hadn't done in the past. When I synched my itouch to iTunes it says I have to erase everything on my itouch first since I've never synched it to the iTunes on this computer before even though it is under my same exact account. This is do unreasonable and stupid. I have tons of pictures, videos, emails and apps I've been using my 64GB itouch exclusively for. My iTunes account is registered to this itouch and there's no way I want to delete everything on it years worth just to have access to synch to iTunes. Makes no friggin sense to me. I purchased a new itouch so I can download the music onto that. I've already spent hours and hours over a couple weeks every free moment downloading my CDs to iTunes. Before I crack open the new itouch, is it going to let me download my music onto it or only to my old itouch whose content I do not want to erase?? I'm frustrated is an extreme understatement as to how I am feeling. Any suggestions? Can I unregister my old itouch and register the new one to iTunes...WITHOUT having to delete all the music I've already downloaded? Can I download onto both my itouches since everything will be registered to me? Or do I also have to buy another computer, download a second iTunes, register the new itouch or ??

1. My computer crashed. I smelled smoke, it no longer turned on, nobody was able to retrieve anything on it. It went in the trash with all my data on it - pictures, itunes, documents etc. I had never made a back up.
2. I purchased a brand new Dell computer. I re-installed iTunes using my same username/password as the itunes I had on my old computer. All the days worth of music (non-purchased) were gone. I was told through a paid call by apple that I have to re-install all the non purchased items (my CDs) but they showed me how to bring over my purchased music.
3. I spent hours and hours and hours re-installing all my CDs, several days worth of music. I then synched my itouch, and it is telling me that it detected a new computer, that it has to first erase everything on the itouch in order to synch and transfer the music onto it.
4. I don't want to erease all the content on my itouch - pictures, videos, emails, etc. etc. Have had it for a while and not something I want to do.
5. I purchased another 64GB itouch so I can synch that one instead.
6. I haven't removed it from the box yet. My question is "Can I download music from iTunes to 2 itouches." If I crack open the box and synch the brand new itouch to the itunes on my new computer, registered to my old itouch, will it work? Will it synch and download the music to that device so that I don't have to erase everything on my old itouch - wich is not an option for me. I don't want to delete everything on it. I bought a new itouch so I won't have to delete everything and transfer it onto that. The itunes on my new computer is already registered to my old itouch. Had I known I'd have to delete everything to synch, I would've not used my old username/password, would have created a new one, a new account so I could sync it to my new itouch which I shelled out the money on just so I don't have to erase everything on my old itouch. So my question again - can I synch this second brand new itouch to the itunes on my compouter? I don't want to remove it out of the original packaging and find out the hard way only to then not be able to return it to the store. ANd if I can't and I don't want to delete everything on my old itouch, am I screwed and no longer able to use itunes?

I just installed the latest Apple TV software update today. I can still play music from my iPhone 4 to th eATV but purchased movies don't seem to start playing now - or else the buffering time is huge compared with the previous software version. Any fix

I installed the latest software update on our Apple TV - this allows us to access VIMEO. However, although we can still play music from an iPhone 4 we can no longer play purchased tv shows - unless the buffering process has been extended to be glacially slow! It just shows it is loading but under the previous software release a show would start in a minute or two, nothing is happening afer 4 or 5 minutes with this one.

Thank you BDAua. This is what I typed and the reply from Terminal
java -version
java version "1.6.0_45"

BTW - this application does NOT show up in the Applications folder and I consider that a bit odd.
I also tried typing Java for my computer to search for and this is what I got under

Hi,
Do you have iTunes Match? If so, you will still be able to access your music.
If you don't subscribe to match, no.
