Do I have to have 30 meg to copy 30 meg on my computor

Hello anyone out there?
I am an old lady of 42 and completely computer iliterate!!
I am having trouble with my ipod 30meg which my children gave me for my birthday.
I filled my computor with about 1/3 of my music collection, downloading each one to my harddrive and then converting to MP3 (using another program) 1250 songs all ready to download. Took ages.
I then loaded them onto my ipod. No trouble.
To make space for the next lot I had to delete the old songs off, as I only have 10meg of free space on my laptop.
I then loaded another lot (Ages) and plugged in my ipod.
It then promptly deleted the first 1250 songs (Aggggghhhhh)
and loaded on the others.
I know that you can have other computors in the loop and download from them, but does that mean you lose whatever you had previously loaded from another computor???????
Qustion - Do I have to have 30meg of free space on my computor with all my songs on to download 30 meg onto my ipod, or can I ADD extra songs or whatever without having the old ones on my hard drive.
Please help I must have it or am doing it WRONG.

With your iPod connected in iTunes Preferences iPod select to manually manage playlists: This will prevent iTunes from deleting music off your iPod that is not in your iTunes "Library".
What has happened recently is due to the fact that your Pod preferences are set to automatically update playlists - this auto-feature will delete all tracks from your iPod that are not part of your Library.
You should take into consideration to buy an external harddisk for storing your music.

How do I transfer my iTunes library from an old, slow pc laptop to a newer faster pc laptop? Do I have to take a copy of my iTunes library on the hard drive of the old(er) pc laptop and load it onto the hard drive of my new(er) pc laptop?

How do I transfer my iTunes library from an old, slow pc laptop to a new(er), faster pc laptop? Do I have to make a copy of the iTunes library on the old pc laptop and re-install it on the new(er) pc laptop? Is it something that can de done using the actual iPod itself?

This is the method I would normally recommend:
Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
You can use your iPod classic to move your library to a new computer but if you don't already have a backup copy of the library (and your other important data) now is the time to think about it.

I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them.

On top of that my Mac keeps telling me my start up disc is full and I am deleting stuff like crazy!

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally.

I have made a bootable copy of ML and want to load it on another laptop running SL. What do I need to do in order to avoid losing any files. I do not want to do a clean install.

I have made a bootable copy (8GB thumb drive) of ML and want to load it on another Apple laptop running SL. What do I need to do in order to avoid losing any files. I do not want to do a clean install. I know ML is comptible.

I'm getting an error message when ML is almost completely installed and it stops the install. Is there any way to get back to the snow leopard operating system and scrap the ML install at this point. I had to shut the Mac book off and when I started again it tried to install ML a second time. It is still trying to install but at this point I don't want to screw anything up any further so just want to get back to SL.
Any suggestions.

I have just downloaded a copy of Photoshop and Adobe Bridge CS4 onto a second laptop I recently purchased. However the font size of the menu bar/tool bars is extremely small. My other laptop also has a copy of CS4 but it does not have the extremely small font size. Could you please tell me how to increase the font size in the menu/tool bars?

You can't. Any version before Creative Cloud does not support high-DPI displays and that is just that. If you cannot adjust the system's screen resolution and so on, then there is nothing you can do.

When I hit the export to harddrive or anything else, I get a message saying it is trying to locate and reconnect missing photos, goes into a search mode and displays the identifiers of the located images.

I have downloaded an update for my ipod 4th, and after that all my songs, pictures and apps have been erased, Is there some way to recover all my information without have done a security copy?

I supsect you did the update on other than your syncing computer. If yu did the app, music and synced photo will not be on the iPod after the update since those items are not in the backup that iTunes makes. See:
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
The above applies to all updates performedvia USB on a computer. To get stuff back, restore from backup on the syncing computer.
The above in my educated guess since you provided litle information about how you did the update.
You can redownload many iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I have three iMacs - do i have to buy a copy of mountain lion for each?

What Russa is saying is that if you don't save "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" before you install you'll need to download it again each time. It's important to save it before you install because it self-destructs after restart.

New user...how do you drag or move or copy a file or folder from the desktop to an external drive? I have tried dragging and copy/pasting.

My guess the problem you are running into is the drive is formatted for a PC as NTFS. OS X can read files from NTFS however it cannot write to it. Check the formatting on the drive, if it's NTFS then it should be reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), you can use Disk Utility to do this.
If you still have a PC and want to share the EHD with the PC and Mac please read MacWorld's Share an external drive between a Mac and a PC article.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have purchased a full copy of Adobe Acrobat Standard software on 11th
of August 2014 (Order number: 8796780459).
I accidently deleted that file, and tried to download it from the
Adobe site with no success - Got a message directing to [email protected] that elaborates that the file is available for 60 days only. Webhelp at digitalriver has directed me to you
Please help me get a working link for download.

Since you don't give us any details like your operating system or Acrobat version, I can only direct you to a general download page https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html

I have Lightroom 4.3, but can not activate Simulate Paper & Ink, have created a virtual copy and checked softproofing

I can't reproduce this problem. It works fine here.
This problem could be due to a corrupt Preference File. This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
BTW: Re-installing Lr ddoes not replace the Pref. File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.
See here for where to find the Preference file for your OS: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroo m-4.html
