Downloading 2.1 and keeping music?

I'm not exactly computer savvy...but when I try to download 2.1 it says all my music and photos will be deleted. It suggests downloading it to my computer...I'm not sure how. Anyone know how to download 2.1 and keep all my stuff?

i upgraded to every firmware revision from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0 and i only had to sync my stuff once
before it upgrades it take a backup of all data after firmware upgrade it restore that backup and everything is still here

I am trying to download an app and keep getting this error message: "Could not sign in. An unknown error has occurred. I have tried shutting down and restarting. I've tried changing the password. I get the error message with free and not free apps. Any suggestions on how to fix?

Reports are that this is a problem with the iTunes Store that they're working on. Some people have had success after signing out of their account and back in. If that doesn't work for you, wait a few hours or perhaps until tomorrow and by then they may have the problem sorted out.

I want rsync only download new files and keep old files

I install Arch i686 in home and in home I do not have internet connection , so at work I download all packages I need with this command
rsync -avrt --bwlimit=58 rsync://mirror.datacenter.by/arch//extra/os/any/ /home/ddd/i686/
and move them to home and then copy them to
/var/cache/pacman/arch
and install packages with pacman
after two days , I run this command
rsync -avrt --bwlimit=58 rsync://mirror.datacenter.by/arch//extra/os/any/ /home/ddd/i686/
and I see rsync get last packages again and use many Bandwidth
how I tell rsync only download new files and keep old files

rsync manpage says the following:
-u, --update skip files that are newer on the receiver
--inplace update destination files in-place
--append append data onto shorter files
--append-verify --append w/old data in file checksum
I guess you need to add -u flag.
Reading manpages is the highest virtue in GNU/Linux.

How do I use ITunes on my laptop with 2 different accounts and keep music etc separate

We have one lap top and now have 2 separate ITunes accounts. We want our own (different) music on our own devices. How do we keep music library separate? Until now it was just one library, but we have downloaded from CD's my husbands old county music (loaded outside of iTunes into folder on desktop). But ifnitnis imported it will show up in the main iTunes. How do we keep things separate? Too bad you can't have multiple iTunes downloaded, or can you for separate accounts?

There's a few ways of managing multiple devices (and keeping seperate content on each). The following document is worth checking through:

Hi, Trex8.
There are a couple things that you can try to resolve this issue. First, I would recommend processing any updates needed to the computer and iTunes. You can check for updates in iTunes by selecting the help menu and check for updates. If iTunes is on the current version, see the article below.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Make sure to test the results after each troubleshooting step processed.

How to format Leopard and keep Music, Docs, Photos, Movies, and Contacts

I've recently acquired a macbook. I'm very familiar with PCs and I have recently converted.
I used to format my PCs every 10 months or so to keep them healthy and keep the clutter of stuff away. The file structures and everything is different with macs and Leopard especially is different. I want to know what would be required of me to do the equivalent of a PC formatting on a mac. And how often do they have to be done on Macs anyway? I'm guessing it's about the same as it is for PCs, around 10 months or so?
On my PC I'd just copy the My Documents folder, my iTunes, My Pictures folder, Microsoft Outlook (I'd make a backup and restore it after the format), and My Videos. I'd copy all these onto an external hard drive and then drop them all back onto my PC after the format.
What is the equivalent procedure on a Macbook with Leopard? I have Time Machine with Time Capsule, if that makes a difference. But I heard that Leopard has it's own ways of formatting when you want to format? What are my options in terms of achieving the same sort of end product? Namely, getting rid of the clutter that accumulates on computers over time, and then restoring all my documents and media files back to the computer after the format.
Thanks for the help. I'm glad I'm on a Mac now, but this is the one thing I haven't been able to figure out.

Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
Although the above is the procedure there's no reason to ever reformat the drive unless the drive or system files have been corrupted beyond repair.
You can easily create a bootable clone of your system on an external Firewire drive. If you ever need to replace the system you can simply restore it from the clone. Using backup software the clone can even be kept current with incremental updates. This whole process can be automated via backup schedules provided the backup software supports scheduling (most decent ones do.) Individual files or folders can also be selectively restored from the backup.
Basic Backup
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Although you can buy a complete FireWire drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
Cool Drives
OWC
WiebeTech
Firewire Direct
California Drives
NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that presently AppleJack is not compatible with Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.

Downloaded itunes 8 and my music library disappeared! HELP PLEASE!

Is there any way to get my library back after downloading itunes 8? It cleared everything - all my music, playlists....
and no....I do not have my music saved to disc/or external harddrive yet....

When you open iTunes do you have the dreaded ! next to each tune? If so then you need to put the tunes back where they were before the problem occurred. Are your PL listed on the left side?
The default path for iTunes is HD>Users>My Account>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music. iTunes music is where the folders would be nested by Artist>Album>Tune.
If in iTunes prefs>Advanced you have selected the options to 'keep' and 'copy' the above path is the normal place where your tunes should be. This is also where you set the path for iTunes to go find your tunes.

You can download individual tracks and delete music with itunes match on

You can delete music with itunes match on:
settings - general - use - music - all music
in the right corner above you can click on edit and choose delete.
You can also download individual tracks:
click on the "cloud download" icon in an album. It displays the icons to start downloading. You can tap on stop of the songs you don't want to download and then those songs won't be downloaded.

unfortunately the delete method deletes all the music you downloaded, not possible to delete individual tracks

Install iTunes and keep music?

When I first got my iPod, I had to install iTunes to another computer, because my computer was extremely old and pratically useless at the time. Later, I got a new computer, so I reinstalled iTunes to my new one. When it was installed and I hooked up my iPod, however, all the music was erased!
I have just recently gotten a new laptop, and I am in the process of installing everything. My question is, how do I install iTunes to my new laptop without erasing all my music?
Windows XP

Install iTunes, and then follow these instructions; they will not work with an iPod shuffle.

Is photoshop cs6 still available and is Illustator files able to be opened in photoshop CC as well as am I able to download Photoshop CC and keep Photoshop CS6?

I have a logo created in Illustrator cs6 but I am afraid that it won't be compatable with Photoshop CC. Is Photoshop cs6 still available for download. Can Illustrator cs6 files be converted opened in Illustrator CC. I heard there were some conpatablity issues.

You can get Photoshop CS6, CC, and CC 2014 all from the Creative Cloud application.
But I HIGHLY doubt that files that Photoshop CS6 can open would not be compatible with Photoshop CC. Photoshop CC is, when you brush away the clouds, just an evolution of the product that's being licensed a different way. All appearances are it's compatible with files made before.
I know nothing about Adobe Illustrator.
