Computer crashed and now cd drive doesnt work?

My T61 laptop crashed to the blue screen and i lost everything i had saved on the computer and now the CD drive will not read a CD, but it will read a DVD. Anyone have any idea that i could try to get it working again?

I've loaded my music folder back on to the itunes main menu. My purchased music shows up in the library, but when i got to play music on my lap top it tells me i'm not authorized and requires me to log in.
Then when i went to resync my nano (after all had been erased) a new library shows up with my name on the main menu screen and all that downloaded to that library was the music that i had my own cd's for. So no purchased music was downloaded back to the nano. I hope that helps!

HT1349 My computer crashed and now that it's working again, itunes required that I deauthorize. Did that and now that I have authorized computer it won't sync with my old apps, playlists, photos, etc. How do I fix that?

After getting computer repaired it said I had too many computers authorized and couldn't add (I've only had ONE computer to sync with itunes so don't know how it counted 5) Required that I deauthorize all computers and then reauthorize again. Did that and now previous data, music, playlists, audio books, etc won't sync with my iphone. How do I correct that and get iphone to sync with everything I have on itunes?

Hi Sangeeta,
For a fresh download on a new hard drive, it's best to start with the CC desktop app. Sign into adobe.com and download it here: creative.adobe.com/products/download/creative-cloud
You can then launch the desktop, sign in and download PS & LR.

I know any device could malfucntion but if it costs $40,000 to buy you could at least warn someone of the possible malfuctions. It makes the company look bad when a large amount of your devices act up and you "cant help them" if they dont pay extra. Im just saying.
Sorry but that makes no sense at all. How can they possible know what things will possible malfunction on your device? Anything that they think is highly likely to malfunction they would have addressed in desiging and manufacturing the device in the first place, during development. They've made and sold many millions of iPhones, and many of them have lasted years without any problems (I know, I've owned such iPhones personally). So how could they possible know if yours was any more likely to develop any issues than any of those other trouble free ones?
It's hardware - stuff sometimes breaks randomly. No amout of money ever guarantees or even reduces the likelyhood of random product failures.
Take it in to Apple and see about getting it fixed.

Wow I see from the other responses to similar questions that the phone may be jailbroken. I thought I was purchasing an unlocked phone that was legal to use with any system. What a disappointment, I will have to go back to where I purchased this phone and let them have an ear full.

My computer crashed and now can't find playlists on reinstalling itunes

My computer crashed and I lost itunes. I downloaded it on computer after adding new harddrive. The cloud came up with my purchased songs but playlists aren't showing. I have an old backup from a few years ago but afraid to use it because new purchases obviously aren't on it. What do I do now?

Hello Vickielkh,
I would recommend restoring from your backup, then downloading the remainder from the iTunes Store.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How can I get my photos back, after my computer crashed and now I can only preview them?

Before my computer crashed I had saved my photos on my WD My passport but I think it was only saved like a preview. Once my computer crashed I brought my pictures back to the HD Imac Computer but now I can see them but I can't save, print or export them. Is it possible for me to fix this and if so how?
I appreciate ALL help.
Thank you:)
Here is an example of some:

We need to know more, to be able to understand what you have done.
How did you save your images to the external drive? Did you copy your Aperture library there?
Is your Aperture library referenced or managed - did you store the original image files outside the Aperture library or are they included in your Aperture library? If you have referenced images, did you back them up too?
The error message you are seeing, shows that Aperture cannot find the original image file. That is indicated by the yellow warning badge with the arrow.
If your Aperture library is referenced, you need to restore your backed up original image files as well from their backup, and then use the the command "File > Locate Referenced Files" to reconnect the image versions with the missing original files. Do you have a backup of the originals? If you cannot restore your referenced originals, you can turn your previews into new originals; post back, if you need help with that.
If your Aperture library is managed, and all your originals are included inside your Aperture library, try if the Aperture Library First Aid Tools can fix this:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Check if the "Masters" folder inside your Aperture Library contains any image files: Crtl-click the Aperture library and use "Show Package Contents". Are the missing original image files inside?

My old computer crashed and the hard drive is non recoverable. Is there a way to recover my saved bookmarks through the Firefox website?

My old computer crashed. I took hard drive to specialist to see if it could be recovered but it can't. I now have a new computer and will be running Firefox. is there a way to recover my Firefox bookmarks and files to my new computer through the Firefox website?

I did sync my old PC but later the hard drive crashed. I do have the recovery key. How do I get all of my saved (synced) stuff onto my new PC? I am now running Windows 8 and Firefox 20.

Can i sync my itunes music library to more than one computer? my computer crashed and now has a different id.

My computer crashed - the orginal one that I synced my phone to and my iTunes music. Now I have a new computer and want to sync my music but it won't let me - I get an error message stating that I am only allowed to sync my phone to one computer. How do I get around this?

You can move the song files into a different iTunes library and sync them to a new device, but they will remain associated with the original Apple ID.

My computer crashed and now it won't boot

I'm in a bit of a bind. My scheduling won't allow me to go into an Apple store to get this diagnosed/fixed for an entire week; mainly due to Apple stores opening hours. I'll be needing my computer (and I have no temp replacement) during that time to do extra work.
The computer was working fine until, suddenly, it decided to do a really awkward crash. The entire screen was covered in brown vertical stripes and the audio was still working fine for another minute before completely hanging. When I decided to reboot, the apple logo has glitchy stripes in it and then proceeds to be either a black screen or a white screen. Then, after 5min, the fan starts to kick in like crazy.
I've tried resetting the PRAM, SMC, Safe Boot and Recovery Boot but nothing seems to make a difference. I can't get past the black (or white) screen.
I know this isn't much to go on but I'd like to know anyone has any theories of what's going on and how I can go about to fixing this. Thanks

It's plenty to go on. You have a serious hardware problem that only Apple or ARC can fix. So you have 2 options.
1) Make, take, the time to get it fixed ASAP.
2) Buy another computer.

My computer crashed and now problems reconnecting ipod-itunes.HELP

My computer recently crashed and I'm having some problems connecting things back together. Being that i lost everything on my computer, and had to reinstall the hard drive, I lost itunes and all the songs on my computer in the process, but yet I still have my ipod loaded with songs. Seeing that I'm away from home and at school, I don't have the software to reinstall my ipod. I recently downloaded a newer version of Itunes and tried connecting my ipod to it. But i get the message, " the ipod "my name" is linked to another itunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this itunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this ipod with those from this library." Obviously I dont want to do that and clear out my ipod. I'm lost with what i should do to be able to connect my ipod back with an itunes programs without losing any songs, and being able to upload cds again to my ipod via itunes. PLEASE HELP

First of all, click 'no' to that message, then go to the iPod options and set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
Then you can get the songs off your iPod and into the new iTunes libary.
Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer.
There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.
When all the songs are safely back in iTunes (and not before), then you can change the iPod back to automatic transfer and continue using the iPod and iTunes as normal.
