    With your new computer, you'll download a fresh copy of iTunes and then authorize iTunes using your Apple ID and Password.  Read the following link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    You can then connect your iPad to your new computer via USB cable and transfer your purchases (do not connect your iPad until you have authorized the computer.  The music you had in your old iTunes account will not be in your new account as music is stored in a file on your hard drive, which you said has crashed.

  • Reinstalled computer - How to put ipod tunes into itunes library?

    Hi sure there is loads answered this but i couldn't see exactly what i needed so apologies if i am repeating but i have a headache ><
    My laptop suffered a terrible virus and i had to format my HD. Now everything is reinstalled phew
    However, my ipod still has its music on it, i want to put that music back onto my laptop via my itunes library.
    I am worried that by using sync i will erase all the ipod music. as 'sync' will sync the ipod to the (Empty)Library.
    I need to sync the music on the ipod to the Library, so I will have my original Library from before back!
    Hope this makes sense, thanks for any help

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • When you get a new computer how do I put on my iTunes library - I do have it all backed up to the cloud.  I am not a technical person so this is probably easy for someone but not me!  Any help would be much appreciated

    Can anyone explain what I need to do.  I am buying a new computer, need to de-authorise my old computer and then put the library on a new windows computer.  I have my library backed up to the cloud for which I pay extra.  I am not at all technical so if anyone could give me idiot instructions I would much appreciate it.  Finding the instructions from apple assume I know basic,s and that confuses me!

    When I left my former employer, Pollinate Agency, I bought a MacBook Pro with Acrobat Pro (version 9 or possibly 9.5) installed from the company. I recently had a serious computer crash, and needed to get all contents erased. The support provider didn't have my product key, so could not reinstall Acrobat Pro for me. Since then, I have gotten the product key sent to me from my former employer, [ REMOVED ] So I need help in re-downloading, installing and activating the Acrobat Pro software on this computer.

    Please remove the S/N immediately (I can't or would). Never post them online. As for download you can go to http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html on the right panel to get 9 pro. I am not sure there is a MAC version there, but that is the first place to go. If it is the proper version, then please back it up to CD and/or portable HD, not the system HD.

  • My laptop has crashed and I'm in between getting a new one but need to update my iOS on my iPad, is there anyway of doing this without a laptop or computer?

    My laptop has crashed and I'm in between getting a new one but need to update my iOS on my iPad, is there anyway of doing this without a laptop or computer?

    If you can't update via wifi, you can use a friend's computer, or an Apple store will do it for you.
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    Hi,
    It sounds like there may be some disconnect between the phone and the computer.  Could be a number of things going on, but one way I've been able to fix this issue on several occasions is by completely removing all of the music from the iPhone (Settings > General > Usage > Storage > Manage Storage > Music > swipe 'All Songs' to the left and tap 'Delete') and then re-syncing it from iTunes all at once.  Be sure to disconnect your phone from the computer and close iTunes first.  Keep in mind that any songs that are on the phone but are NOT in the iTunes library will not be synced over after you delete them from the phone.  If the songs on the phone were purchased from the iTunes Store you can transfer them to the computer's iTunes library by connecting the phone to iTunes then selecting File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from [user's] iPhone.
    After deleting all songs from the phone, go back into Settings and check the music storage again to make sure everything was deleted.  If the 'Music' app is not listed anymore, then you should be good to go.  Just to be sure, you can also check the Music app itself and make sure no songs appear there (if songs appear with cloud icons next to them, turn off 'Show All Songs' in Settings > Music and then check the Music app again -- no songs should appear).
    Once you're absolutely sure all songs have been removed from the phone, restart the iPhone, plug it back into the computer, and let iTunes sync.  Give it time to sync everything over at once and make sure the sync doesn't get interrupted.  Everything you've set to sync should sync over properly.
    If it still doesn't sync, there may be a corrupted file in the iOS installation on the phone or in the iTunes installation on the computer.  It's more likely that the issue is in the phone's software, especially if you ever installed an iOS update over Wi-Fi (through the Settings app).  I'd recommend making an iTunes backup and restoring the phone to factory settings through iTunes.  Then set the iPhone up as a new iPhone and test the syncing -- the playlist should sync over properly.  If not, Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support.  Then test again.
    Once you get the syncing working with the phone set up as new, restore the phone from your iTunes backup and test the syncing again.  Now that the iOS files have been reinstalled, hopefully the corruption is gone!  If it still doesn't sync properly, the corruption may be somewhere else (in a song in the playlist, in some app data in the backup, etc.).  That could be harder to pinpoint, but don't worry about that for now.  Start simple.
    Good luck!

    Had main desk top computer crash and need to reinstall purchase but have installed on a lap top - how can I reinstall?

    You can activate your software on two computers.  If you need to install it on a third machine (because one of the first two crashed), then you need to https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html to reset your activation count.
    If you just want to reinstall it on one of the first two machines, then just reinstall and re-activate it with your serial number.

    i have a new computer and want to sync my phone to the new but dont want to lose the information. how do i transfer. i was told there was a way but not sure how

    for the purchased items from the iTunes Store, you could use transfer of purchases
    for the photos, other music/movie not from itunes, you'll be needing a third party application
    for contacts, calendars , photos from camera roll : you could just directly transfer it from your phone to the computer.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
    Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup
