Getting a new computer (PLEASE HELP!)

I buy songs off the itunes on my family PC and that is the itunes my ipod is...on. (technologically uninclined here). The trouble is that I just got a new computer, a Mac Mini, and want to transfer to the itunes on that computer. How do I do that???????

Sorry to highjack this one but can I go back to Michael's comments about licences?
I have a desktop PC and a laptop PC. I'm the only one using PS. I don't want to fall foul of any licence infringements but am I right in understanding from your comments that I can run run CS3 on both machines? If it makes any difference, CS3 was purchased (legit!) as a Windows upgrade.
When I changed machines, I got the impression you had to uninstal CS3 from one machine, get verification from Adobe, then reinstal on the new machine i.e. leaving only one machine using PS.
Have I missed a trick here?
Thanks,
Bob

Welcome to the discussion,
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Can't transfer music to new computer, please help

My old computer crashed so I can't connect it to my new one to transfer my songs. I plugged my ipod into the new comp before downloading itunes and I save my playlists onto it in My Music. Then I downloaded itunes and tried to transfer my music into my library. It says theres an error and the songs can't transfer. Also, the ipod's songs pop up when I click on the ipod but they're gray and I can't highlight, move, play, or acceses them in anyway. I reeaallly don't want to download my 800+ songs all over again so any tips will be appreciated!

I'm new to this Discussions Forum but I've notice so many people with the same problem as u...I guess I'll just post my solution here n hope it relieves some of everyone's headaches..
I've discovered a way to preserve my ipod songs n transfer it into my new computer. It took
me quite a while to figure it out so if it also work for u, please give credits where
credit is due~ ^_^ MyMyMai
Follow these steps for Windows XP users:
1) Go to "Start"
2) Go to "Control Panel" n click on it.
3) Click on "Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices"
4) Click on "Portable Media Devices", then a list of ur portable devices should pull up,
including ur ipod.
5) Click on ur ipod, then it should pull up folders named "Calendars" "Contacts" "Notes"
"iPod_Control" n "Photos"
6) Click on the "iPod_Control" folder, it should pull up several folders named "Artwork"
"Device" "iTunes" n "Music"
7) Click on the "Music" folder which would bring up several folders named "F00" "F01" "F02"
and so on and so forth.
8) All you have to do is copy n paste ALL the folders onto ur new hard drive, like ur
desktop or "My Music" folder.
9) Open up ur new itune on ur new computer, go to "file", "add folder to library", and
click on ur "My Music" folder or each "F00" folders on ur desktop.
All the songs should transfer into ur new iTune library. Hope this helps!

IPod won't work with new computer - please help

When I bought my iPod, I had it hooked up with Computer #1. That went with my ex-husband in the divorce, so I no longer have that computer.
I now have my parents' old computer, Computer #2. My dad has an iPod that was originally used with this computer, but none of his songs or libraries are on Computer #2 anymore. The iTunes library is totally empty. I tried hooking up my iPod, and it said that my iPod was already associated with another computer. So I authorized Computer #2 to play my iPod songs, and that didn't work either. I cannot deauthorize computer #1 since I don't have it anymore. ITunes would not let me deauthorize both computers, like it said you could do once a year.
I am at a loss for what to do. Thanks in advance.
Kim

I have the same problem!! I had my library on a computer on XP and now I have Vista and don't know how to transfer my Vista. If anyone can help please let me know!!!!!!

Help getting a new lense- Please help!!!

I own a canon 60D with two lenses: an EF 24-105 mm, and an EFS18-135mm kit lense. I do alot of runway, portraites, parties, weddings, boudior..basicly a little bit of everything. I also own a Canon speedlite 580EXII. I need a lense that will alow me to see more of my client's faces better when i take afull body picture.. Even at the 24mm setting on my EF, the faces are relatively small when looking a full body picture. Since my range of shooting varies, i figured i need a wide angle lense... i have the EFS 10-22 mm lense, so when i take those big group shots, i can fit everyone in and still be able to see the faces. I also need a crisper lense to take proffetional quality portraites... i was thinking a nice 35mm lense with a 1.4 f stop...Can someone please let me know what you think and give me your opinion? I would really a preciate anything any veterance have to offer. Thank you in advance.

What you’re asking for (a larger face on a full body portrait) is dependent on your perspective, not (as much) the lens. The only way to have a large face and get the whole body in is distortion, either from wide-angle distortion (wide angle lens close up to the face) or compression - which is perspective controlled (e.g. shooting above a subject with a telephoto looking down so you frame in the face with the body in the “background”, if that makes sense). If you want to keep things proportional then you crop out the body. Can you post an example, that is G rated please, so we can get an idea what you’re looking for?
As far as “crisper”, I assume you mean sharper. I would definitely get a prime unless you have the budget for a 24-70 II. Even then, everybody should have at least 1 fast prime in their arsenal, in my opinion. Unless you know you want wide, I would get a 50mm to start. It’s a good focal length for portraiture, for either crop or full frame, and there are reasonable priced decent options by both Canon and Sigma (both 50mm 1.4). The 35 is a good lens, and most prime aficionados have one, but for a first I’d go longer.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

I am getting the message "The windows installer Service could not be accessed when trying to install Itunes on my new computer, any help would be appreciated.

Hey there Frank0619,
If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
Issues installing iTunes for Windows
These in particular:
Make sure you have an administrator account.
To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Download the latest version of iTunes.
The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
Disable conflicting software.
Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig:
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
Restart your computer.
Install iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

I had this exact issue. Spent over an hour on the phone with apple support, they couldn't resolve. Here is what I ended up doing, that worked.
1. Turned iTunes match off on all my iOS devices
2. Deleted the offending playlists from the iOS device they originated on
3. Started iTunes, let it run (literally) for an hour before it became responsive. First thing I did, before clicking anywere else was disable iTunes match. If I clicked anywhere, it would clock for another hour.
4. Let iTunes run overnight, by morning it had cleaned out the repeating play lists. This got my Mac/iTunes back to an operable state.
5. Restore iPhones from backup in iTunes.
What was causing my issue was a single playlist that was created on an iPhone, then suddenly showed up with several thousand duplicates on my other iPhone. The culprit playlist did not, for some reason, duplicate itself on my two iPads. Apple support seemed to think it was because the problem iPhone tried to sync the playlist to iCloud over and over again unsuccessfully, then it finally went through and populated the thousands of blank/failed playlists which then tried to propigate to iTunes and my other iOS devices. Seems like a reasonable theory.
I have not yet re-enabled iTunes match. So, no idea what will happen if I decide to go back down that rabbit hole.

HT3743 I purchased an iphone 3g that was to be open to any carrier, I went to restore it to my itunes account and get a 1015 error, can this be fixed. I am new to the iphone and like the product but cannot buy new. Please help. THANKS

You got ripped off. You bought a hacked/jailbroken phone. That's what error 1015 means. Return it and get your money back if possible and buy a phone from a legitimate source.
Discussing jailbroken / hacked phones is forbidden by the terms of service. Jailbreaking / hacking voids any warranty and forfeits your right to support here or from Apple. You can not get help here.

13.0.1 is the last version of Photoshop to run on Windows XP but it does not include the Copy CSS feature.
The Copy CSS feature was first introduced in Photoshop 13.1 (Cloud only) and higher.
http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/02/copy-css-attributes-in-photoshop-13-1.html
Photoshop 13.1 does not run on Windows XP. So your operating system is preventing you from upgrading Photoshop to 13.1+.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/new-system-requirements-photoshop-131.html
If you plan to remain a Cloud member then you will have to upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8 (or get a new computer) very soon in order to run Photoshop CC to be released on June 17, 2013.

File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes will transfer items purchased from the iTunes store.
If you have items from other sources (ripped CD's, etc.) on the phone, you can't transfer those without purchasing 3rd party software.
Restore the backup of your old computer or just copy the data from the old computer to the new one.

HT1386 my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

"I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod? I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files...but most are cds

Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod? I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files, most of it is cds...

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.
