Disabled ipod and the computer it was in sync with is broken...will I lose everything?
My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled. My problem is that I never did sync this ipod with my new and only computer. Will she lose everything if a reset?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My daughters locked her phone but the laptop its synced too is broken and she hasn't set up find my phone how do we unlock????
So I'm guessing here, they forgot the passcode? Find My iPhone has nothing to do with forgotten passcode or accessing the phone.
The only way to bypass the passcode it to restore the phone on the computer you normally sync to and restore the backup. However, it appears from what you have typed here, that the computer your normally sync to is broken. The only thing you can do is to use another computer to restore, however you will restore as a new device, since you cannot access the old one. Also, since it is locked, you cannot create a backup either. Not a good situation to be in. -
my ipod touch has been disabled and needs to be plugged into itunes to reset it. However, the computer it was last synched with has broken and I don't know what to do!
You need to place the device in recovery mode.
Instructions here > iOS: Unable to update or restore
"If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present" -

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -

Computer that was originally synced with Apple TV has crashed
the computer that was originally synced with apple tv has crashed, but the photos and music that was loaded, i don't want to lose them. Is there a way to recover it to my other computer or its just stuck on apple tv until deleted.
In itunes also my apple tv only shows wo tabs, Summary and photos, what happen to the rest of the tabs ?There is no option of getting content off the AppleTV, it is not a back up storage device. Sorry.
Since you did not make backups, only real option is to void your warranty and open the ATV, remove drive, connect to computer, copy off.
As for only two tabs, it is because you have setup your new computer (drive) as a steaming computer not a computer to sync with. If you change to make it a syncing computer (like you use to have) the ATV will erase all content right then as you can only sync with ONE computer and it is looking for your old one. -

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode for it to be recognised by your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it.

I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?
The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.
Thanks @ KiltedTim, but losing "only" any data is really not acceptable and, in this case, the phone had not been backed up, but thanks for taking the time. Also, yes, fungible means what I think it means. An iphone is a completely substitutible commodity, unlike my data, so instructions that inform me as to how to fix a phone I could replace for a small sum of money while failing to address the more important issue of the data are almost useless - they potentially save me the $99 it would cost me to replace the phone if I were so inclined to trust another apple product. Not worth the hour it took to find them or the 35 minutes on the phone to confirm my suspicions about the data.

I ordered my RAM 8GB from OWC (other world computing) and when i inserted the ram and booted up my computer it says that i only have inserted 4gb ram and the computer isn't faster than it was with 2gb!!! please help me... I've got a MacBook Pro (mid 2009)
Improperly seating memory is the curse of everyone, even experts. No one wants to "break" the memory or the slot by pushing too hard.
So, try again. Push maybe *just a twinge* harder to seat the memory (just a twinge).
As to speed ... memory mainly lets you keep more things active concurrently. Unless you were severely overtaxing your old memory and causing huge "Page Out" counts, only faster HD makes huge speed increases. -

A friend has put music on my IPOD but now I would like to add more from my own PC. Will I lose all the original music if I erase and sync?
OK.
Same thing.
When you buy a cd you DO NOT buy the right to distribute that music to others - this is stealing and is not legal.
You have no legal right to the music.
Sorry. -
