Computer crashed need to most recent info is on iPhone, how do k retrieve?
My computer crashed,Most recent info is on my iPhone, iTunes is saying my info will be replaced with info in iTunes. What can I do ?most recent info is on the iPhone?
The iphone will sync with one computer at a time. When you sync with the new computer you itunes content and pics will be erased from iphone and replaced with content from the new computer.
Also, if the computer has no contacts or calendar entries, then those will be erased from the iphone when you sync as well.
Copy everything ( itunes library/pice/contact/calendars/etc) from your backup copy to your computer first.
Before you sync make sure to transfer the new itunes purchases from your iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

Hello,
I noticed that my My Book Live is not shown on my Mac Pro Disk Utilities. I checked the drive it is powered on and the Network light is flashing. But no other Pc in my House has access to it. The problem is that iCloud does not copy all my songs to the cloud, and now since the file has failed, i can no longer access
it , so the rest of my songs are now in limbo. I took the drive out of the enclosure and installed it inside my Mac Pro, but upon startup it said there is a drive that is not compatible, to please remove it. I purchased Distk tools Pro and it does not see the drive. Please can someone help me get my data back?Hi there ovadia!
You can transfer the music purchased by your iTunes account from your iPod nano to your MacBook Pro by following the steps outlined in this article:

IPhoto error, won't open, says it needs the most recent version
I have an early 2009 mac pro desktop with 6 megs of ram. iPhoto error, won't open, says it needs the most recent version to work but the most recent version won't work either because I have Mountain Lion. I downloaded iPhoto from the App store and the store said "you can't download the most recent version because you don't have Mavericks - would you like to download an older version?" So I said yes and downloaded it. It is actually the Mavericks version that downloads anyway. So I used an older version from my other computer and updated it to version 9.4.3. When I try to open it it says you need the most recent version. My library is on an external drive which was downgraded from Mavericks back to Mountain Lion because Mavericks wouldn't work properly on my computer. Now no version will open.
What can I do? Thank you for your help in advance.The exact error message is:
THe library "iPhoto Library" cannot be opened. To open it, you must upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto. Then the Quit button is at the bottom of the dialog box.
I did install iPhoto 9.5 when I installed Mavericks, Keep in mind that all of my photos are not on the boot drive but they are on an external drive. I then got rid of Mavericks and did a fresh install of Mountain Lion then I copied the contents of a previous drive that only had Mountain Lion on it. 9.5 wouldn't open in Mountain Lion so I copied an older version from another computer and updated it to 9.4.3. 9.4.3 says you must upgrade to the latest version and 9.5 says you need an older version. So I am stuck now. -
i dont even know if im in the right community.
anyway, the thing im having trouble with is syncing my notes. im pretty sure i have the most recent software for the iphone 3, i think. however, i've never been able to sync notes from the iphone to my laptop. i havent even had the option before. i do now, but on the info tab for my iphone, the one that pops up when it's plugged into the laptop, it has the option to check the box next to sync notes with... however, there's nothing on the drop down menu, so even with the sync notes with.. option selected, nothing happens.
i have 350+ notes, so emailing them to myself is out of the question. any help would be much appreciated!!I deauthorized and then reauthorized my iTunes and this seems to have done the trick!

If I back up my iphone and then need to gather the info from the docs, how do I get the data without another iphone? Can I download the iphone info to an ipad to read it or will it affect my ipad?
You can back up your device, either to iCloud or to your computer using iTunes, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766. If you need to know what version of iOS you are using, go to Settings>General>About and read the number across from Version.

My old computer crashed and i just purchased a new laptop. How do i get my library on my new computer without erasing all the songs on my ipod?
If ALL your music is on the iPod and it's ALL iTunes purchased content, you log into iTunes with your account on th enew machine and reverse sycn the music back.
If the music is from cd's and other sources (not iTunes files) then ask over at iLounge what third party solution currently works. (can't recommond it here)
I have some HUGE instructions here how to get your music off the old comptuer too:
Recovery options:
A: If Windows isn't booting:
You need to boot the computer from a "recovery disk or USB" that has a operating system on it and a graphical user interface to transfer files from your boot drive to a external drive.
I suggest using the Easy USB Installer to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a 2-4 GB USB key.
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
or
burn a ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 or PartedMagic to a cd-r with ImgBurn or Win 7 right click and burn
You can use Disk Utility in OS X to select the ISO and burn to cd/dvd as well.
Once you have it installed, consult this page for your BIOS boot key to hold to get into the BIOS.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
Plug the USB into the back (if possible) of the computer, connect the external drive and enter the BIOS, set the USB (or CD) as first boot and SAVE.
Boot off the USB/CD and "Try Ubuntu/Run from disk" DON'T INSTALL. (Parted Magic loads into RAM and ejects CD)
Once in, go under the menu Places > Computer and transfer your files to the external drive just like you would in Windows, drag and drop.
(If using Parted Magic double click on the Mount Drive left icon twice, use the two GUI windows to transfer files to external drive, unmount drives, log out/quit in the lower left corner menu option)
B: If the computer hardware isn't working, but the drive might still work:
You'll have to remove the power cord and manually extract the hard drive. This might result in some damage.
There is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
C: If your iTunes content is deleted...
It might be recoverable if it hasn't been overwritten yet by fresh data. Undelete software works by reading the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, not what the OS says.
You need to use undelete software pre-installed before the iTunes content was deleted, or while on a bootable cd/USB and a external drive to transfer the recovered files.
You can also install undelete type software on a new machine and USE STEP B above to "undelete" the files and recover them directly to the new computer.
You can't install undelete software or recover files to the same drive your attempting to recover from or it overwrites the deleted data.
D: If the hard drive doesn't work and...
The data isn't worth spending $2000-$3000 in a ATTEMPT at platter dissection recovery, then your finished
If the data on the drive was encrypted, data recovery efforts may be futile, unless it's a encypted file and you transfer it successfuly and have the password to de-crypt it.
E: If you have a "iDevice" with any content
It can be synced back into iTunes, check at iLounge what third party software works reliably now and for your version.
(Once you log into your iTunes account, you can sync ONLY iTunes purchased content back from a iDevice)
Third party software can recover just about all the items on a iDevice, regardless of it's origin. (can't recommend such software here)
F: If any of the above is too hard, or the data is of "critical importance"
Then seek professional computer or forensic level recovery services.
Get help from someone who has done this sort of thing repeatly and can almost guaranty 100% results.
There is Linux software that can "rip" all data off a iOS device if that level of attention is needed, seek a professional service.
Hope this helps in your data recovery efforts.
Please, backup your data, it's the only thing us IT professionals can't recover. -

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

computer crashed had to factory recover OS and can not play the 2 movies i purchased prior to computer crashing can not play and can not locate! How do I recover them?
You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma. -

I downloaded Adobe premiere Elements 9 because computer crashed. Don't have serial number anymore. How do I obtain it?
tamod
What computer operating system is involved? I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit for now.
If your Premiere Elements 9 was registered when first installed, the serial number for it may be at Adobe.
Please go to the Adobe web site http://www.adobe.com, sign in with your Adobe ID and Password, in the Search field type My Products.
Then follow the My Products link to your products. In the Your Products list find Adobe Premiere Elements 9 and click on it to reveal the serial number.
After Premiere Elements 9 is installed, remember to download and install the 9.0.1 Update from
Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Premiere Elements 9.0.1 update
I have assumed that your program is on a Windows computer.
We will be watching for your progress.
