Computer Crashed: I need help badly!
Ok so my computer crashed the other day. I still have all my songs on my iPod but not on computer. I had to reinstall iTunes and I know that if i plug it in for the first time it will update and completely empty my iPod. How do i make it not automatically update? or better yet, what is the best way to fix this whole mess without losing my songs...is there anyway to put them from my ipod onto a disk or a drive or anything just so I dont have to redownload and dig up all my old CD's to put them on there. Thanks.

5th Generation iPod Windows XP Helpppppp!
There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection.
Senuti Mac Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iPodAgent Windows Only
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive posted in this thread: iPod to iTunes
When you connect, if you are getting 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, click *No*. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list. Change the update setting in Preferences>iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists" Managing Your Songs Manually
If you prefer, you can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, on Windows, hold down Shift + Ctrl. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
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.
Just a last reminder, if you are getting 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, click *No*.

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.

I need help badly with my ibook and palm pilot
Good day. I recently fixed my ibook and my palm to sync with each other. I configured my palm to sync with entourage. I then realized that it would be much better that if I sync my palm pilot with the palm desktop. Gow do I now reverse this? How do i cancel entourage to sync with my pal pilot. please advise. need help badly on this. thanks... i just like to feep my files organized and i find it difficult using entourage...my palm pilot is a palm TX...
I also have a Palm handheld. I use iCal and Address Book more than Entourage. This is what I did:
At first, I tried to adapt to Palm Desktop. I didn't like it, so I looked for the *iSync Conduit*. I found it and installed it. Then, I ignored the Palm desktop software (except the HotSync utility) and have used iSync with iCal and Address Book since.
I know that doesn't answer the question about switching from Entourage, but Desktop isn't that great either. iSync is what I recommend.

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. -
Hello, can someone guide me on how to purchase ExportPDF please? i'm currently residing in South East Asia and it doesn't allow me to purchase the software that i need for my work. Please guide me. i need help badly.
Hi watanabei,
Please see Countries where ExportPDF is available for purchase. - Adobe Community. It's necessary to have a credit card billing address in one of the countries listed in this document. If ExportPDF is unavailable to you, you may want to consider an Acrobat subscription, which would also allow you to convert PDF files to Word and other format. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

have you tried quiting the app, ie removing it from the multitasking bar also, and then retrying it? Failing that, flick the ipad into airplane mode for a minute, then flick it back, wait for your wifi to connect then try again.
