Changing over to a different computer
Ok so heres the deal. My laptop that housed all of my itunes music files came across some trouble and we sent it in to the local computer store to be fixed. They told me they had to wipe clean my computer for whatever reason and promised to back up my word documents, picture files, and music files. However, it seems as though they did NOT back up the files as they were told to do (we sent it back AGAIN to see if maybe the guy that did it wasn't actually finished. It's slightly a more complicated story than that, but there is the reader's digest version). So I now have my ipod classic sitting here with currently 808 songs on it and no computer to backup the files to.
What I need to know is if I connect it to the main family computer, will the ipod be restored to it's original settings, or will my music be transfered to the new computer?
If you connect your iPod to a blank library it will get erased.

I have a computer lab that is tied to my personal Apple ID, I need to change them over to a different Apple ID (school Apple ID). How do I do it & still keep my old ID? They are all iMacs & some are on Maverick & some are on Yosemite. Some have Final Cut Pro that has a ID from a teacher that is no longer here. They all need to be standardized to the school apple ID.
I hope you have Apple Remote Desktop, otherwise you have a lot of work to do.
Use Terminal to look for app store receipts…
sudo find /Applications -path "*Contents/_MASReceipt/receipt" -print | sed 's#.app/Contents/_MASReceipt/receipt#.app#g'
/Applications/Apple Configurator.app
/Applications/Install OS X Mavericks.app
/Applications/iPhoto.app
or search the entire disk…
sudo find -x / -path "*Contents/_MASReceipt/receipt" -print | sed 's#.app/Contents/_MASReceipt/receipt#.app#g'
-x stops find crossing into other disks (via /Volumes).
Note you will probably need the second version since users may have installed apps in their user accounts (~/Applications is a legitimate place to store them).
You need to use sudo in an admin account otherwise find will throw a lot of permissions denied errors (harmless, but you may miss apps in restricted directories).
You probably can arrange those apps into a report for making a script to 'rm -rf' those apps. I don't know how you can read the original owner - it would be good to avoid deleting apps that don't belong to an incorrect account, since you will need to reinstall them.
Apple do have a volume licensing program, I'm not sure how good it is. It wasn't available here when I needed it.
If you don't have ARD setup, make a script & carry it around on USB, login as admin, enter admin password to run script, & wait for deletion to complete… -
Ive had iTunes downloaded on my laptop for over 4 years. Currently when I log in to my account there is only 1 song listed on my song board, when I should have over 1000. When I login to my itunes account on a different computer, or my kids login on there ipods and ipads, my songs are listed and available. I have unistalled and re-installed all the apple software as described on the Apple help page, but the same thing is happening when I reistalled.. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated...Thanks

The computer (Win XP) on which the Airport Utility has been set up for the past few years is no longer accessible, so I need to set it up on a different computer. Can I do that with my exisitng wireless network, or will I have to set up a new network from scratch, once I have installed Airport Utility on the new machine?
You can install AirPort Utility on either a Mac or PC, but there would be no reason to make any changes to your existing configuration on the AirPort Extreme unless you need to do so.

repeating error message reads: "valid apple id but not icloud account." when trying to start my icloud account. I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work. I have restarted my computer several times. I have changed my password several times. I have tried to access the icloud page. Nothing has worked. Now I have this stupid app and some of my music is still not being shared on both of my computers.
I have the same problem signing in...but, I finally got a screen saying you have to set up a account on a device..like an ipad to get a iCloud sign in ...my apple id is [email protected] and this screen reset to [email protected]
If you don't have an apple device you may be out of luck. I don't know. I'm still waiting for help just as you are...good luck to both of us though. -
I received my new Verizon Edge bill in the mail and it is $80 higher than my old plan. I have been so unhappy with this change over. Went through hell getting our second phone activated because of a weird computer glitch and when we asked if we would receive any consideration for the time, travel, and money we put into getting the phones the way they were supposed to be, we were told to wait until the bill came and then they could make adjustments. Now I have the bill and have no idea "who" the we would be that could make adjustments. To top it off, the only way I know my account will get any attention is to post this in chat. I am so disappointed and will be counting the months until our phones are paid off and we can change companies.
Call 800-922-0204
I just purchased a new device using Verizon Edge. Why does my bill look higher than normal?
There’s two reasons why your first bill after signing up for Edge might be higher than normal:
Prorate Charges – If you upgraded an existing line and did a price plan change, you may have price plan charges and credits that went into effect the day you upgraded.
Sales Tax – Most states require sales tax on the full retail price paid by the customer, which in most instances will be charged at the time of the first invoice.
Note: Customers who purchased devices in AL, AZ, CO, IL, NM, ND or SD will be billed taxes and surcharges monthly as payments are made.
Your bill will normally include:
Your last Edge installment payment
The next Edge installment charge
If you are on a MORE Everything Plan, a monthly access discount for each qualifying line.
The details of Edge installments and discounts can be viewed at the line level portion of your bill under Monthly Charges and Equipment Charges, or in My Verizon, My Bill then Charges By Line. -

i have a iphone 4s and its stuck at the apple logo to comes up then fades away and every time i try to restoring with iTunes it gives me a 4013 error i changed the charging port/dock and the battery ive also used a different computer and cable
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#USB
However, the most likely reason is your self-repair of a device that is only factory repairable broke something. Note that Apple does not sell replacement parts, so whatever parts you used were not made by Apple's supplier and are of questionable quality. -
I have just changed over from a computer that was 11 years old, running Windows 98, to a new computer running Windows XP. With my old computer I could easily download video clips, they would open and play as soon as the download had ended. Now I have to click on the download box and click on "Play". Also, when I wanted to keep a clip, I just right clicked and a menu appeared and I would then click on "Save as" or similar. Now there doesn't appear to be any way to save the clips. Apart from a faster and more powerful computer I feel I've gone backwards. Can anyone help?
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
Can I change my email address and open a new itunes account on a different computer?
Is it possible to open a new iTunes account with my new email address then use a different computer to sync my iPhone 4?
Sure, but ALL of the iTunes content currently on your phone will first be erased if you do...that's all as in all.

How do I open a folder and update web page on different computer.
Hi All,
I started my iweb page on my powermac at work and have uploaded the pages online. I have saved the page to a folder and now want to work on the updates at home on my powerbook and can't seen to figure out how to open the folder. I've used QuickTime VR photos and the powermac at work is struggling and is sluggish so that's why I want to use my powerbook. In the file column I see "Publish to .Mac, All to.Mac, Folder but no open folder. Help
Thanks
Markin order to update a web page on a different computer you're going to have to move the entire site over to the other computer. to do so you need to move the "domain" file that iweb uses.
The “domain” file is hidden away in <home>/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
unless you've already moved it to another location on your hard drive.
there's more detailed info in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303045
once you update/change the page you want to update and publish, you'll have to move that domain file back to the other computer if you want to use the 'first' computer again to edit your site. if you just want to continue using the 'second' computer then you don't need to move the file back (obviously)
hope this helps. -
Ipad associated with a different computer
I just got a different computer at the school where I work, so I moved my Ipad association from my old computer to the new. My itunes used to be associated with my personal Apple ID so I have changed it to my school Apple ID. I understand I will not be able to transfer music purchased with a different Apple ID. My question is this - I had backed up all my classroom CDs and added them to itunes. I was hoping I could move those things from my ipad to this new computer since they were not actuallypurchases. However, I do not seem to be able to do this. Should this be possible, or do I have to start over again backing up all of these cds? The cd backup is still on my ipad, but I can't move them to the computer.

I bought my iMac from someone. Everything was changed over to my name however when I try to update programs it only shows the old users apple ID and I can't update. How do I change this so I can update the applications and have everything fully under me?
The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
3. Other issues
If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.
