Hi, what is the name of the software that iTunes uses to enable you to transfer music from one computer to another that has already been purchased? I know that it costs money and its not iCloud. Any help would be great. Thanks

Why is the "Import" button grey when I'm trying to transfer music from one computer to another using Home Sharing?
Hi lexipuppy,
I dont know if you have your music on your other computer was on itunes, but if it was, make sure that you signed into your itunes account on your other computer. If you are signed in then your music should show up in your library. -
HELP!!! Cannot transfer music from one computer to another?
I have an older computer with itunes 7 and several purchased and music from CD's burned. The issue is that the older computer's cd-rw drive is broke. I just purchased a new computer. How do I get the music from my old computer into itunes on my new computer. I am using the 5th Gen 30GB ipod and have all of my music and podcasts on the ipod.
I'm sorry i've been the only one replying you, i myself am waiting for replies on my own question.
My advice is that there is no fail-safe device that can protect your files safely forever. The safest way is still to have more than 1 backup. You have your ipod and an external drive so thats 2 options, provided there's enough space. Remember the link i gave you in my 1st post? I just read about a 'Consolidate library' option and i felt it can be useful.
Let me give you an example using Windows PC:
I have 'Song A' on my desktop and 'Song B' in \My Documents\My Music. Assuming my itunes library is empty with no songs, by dragging these two songs into your itunes' music page, they will be added to your library. You should also know that unless you delete Song A from your desktop or move it to another location in that same PC, Song A will always play when u double-click it on itunes, this is basic information.....Ok, now i have 2 songs in my library, but they are in 2 diff directories of my PC. Go to the Advanced tab in iTunes and click 'Consolidate Library', this will create 1 new copy of Song A and B each in your \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music folder. Now connect your back-up device, it can be your ipod or an external drive, *copy the whole iTunes folder in the 'My Music' folder into your back-up device and back up is done,* according to the webpage.
Just give it a try. Provided:
1) you have enough disk space in your PC
2) the original song file is still in your PC, somewhere. If an '!' appears next to a song name in iTunes, this means the original song file has either been deleted or moved to a new location within the PC, you'll need to find the song file so that iTunes can update its brain as to where the file has ended up in.
3) you have enough disk space in your back-up device,
you should be able to do a back-up. Connect the back-up device into your new PC and copy the iTunes folder into the new PC's 'My Music' folder. Open iTunes in your new PC and it should extract the Music Library from the iTunes folder you just pasted from the back-up device.
Do you have songs in your new PC? Try the 'Consolidate Library' option on that PC first or any PC that has lesser songs cos by using this option, additional disk space is taken up to create the copies in the \My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music folder. Try to understand how this option works so that if you eventually do backup you won't accidently delete songs from either PC. It may be complicated, but do read up the link i provided earlier for more info...Cheers! -

Hi
Can you use the mouse to access and start System Preferences?
When you rest the mouse over a dock icon, does its name pop up?
What happens if you open an application by ctrl-clicking on the icon then selecting Open?

I have an iphone 4s and i keep getting an error message when ever i try to activate i have already restored the phone and it still will not work. any help would be greatly appreciated
Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

I have an iphone 5, and the battery is so bad! I was just wonder if anyone had used an external battery before? are they good? can they do damage to your phone? what's the best one to get? any help would be great thanks!
I'd just like to say that ahs70's post on Dec 1, 2013 at 1:17am on Pg. 9 worked for me as well: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5338609?start=120&tstart=0
If your iPhone's battery is acting up you need to determine if it's a software issue or a hardware/battery issue. To do that, after syncing your iPhone, erase/hard reset all data and settings from your iPhone to what it was from the factory as new. This can be found in Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. Then test it out for a day or two. If it's still acting up then it's likely a hardware issue and you will need to get your battery replaced. If your warranty is done than check out this link to get a battery kit to replace your iPhone battery yourself: http://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-5-Replacement-Battery/IF118-001#produc tDescription
If your iPhone is now working properly after hard resetting it than it's most likely a software issue. This battery issue only started after upgrading to the new iOs7, so it is obviously related to the update not properly installing itself. What has worked for me and many others is to manually update to iOS 7.0.4 using the full downloaded version of the update which is about 1.32 Gigs.
But first you need to find out what model of iPhone you have, click here to determine if it's GSM or CDMA: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Then go here and scroll down to download the iOS 7.0.4 complete update for your device: http://www.downloadios7.org/download-ios-7-0-4-ipsw-file.html
Then scroll up on the download page and follow the instructions of updating your iPhone manually following the instructions below: "IPSW with iTunes"
And your done.
Problem solved.
I only posted this because it was a very frustrating problem that no one really seemed to figure out a solution for.
I hope this helps.

HI,
First, there are no Mac viruses in the wild.
recently random sites have had a warning message thing come up that looks like a Norton Anti-virus telling me to run my browser in 'safe' mode or something.
So far it hasn't really done anything malicious, but I'd like to stop it before it does.
The file is an .exe file and unless you are running a Windows partition on your Mac, the Mac OS X cannot open those files. You're OK! If you are running Windows then you would need anti virus software, but it would be installed on the Windows partition, not the Mac OS X.
Nothing to be worry about. They are trying to get your to purchase anti virus software. Norton a/v for a Mac is the worst thing you could install. It's invasive and impossible to UNinstall.
You are running Snow Leopard... read here.

i want to transfer my music from one computer to another, however a large majority of my songs are already on the new computer, is there a way to transfer only the ones not there? or to see what songs are only on the one computer
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Homesharing gives you the option of seeing only the content in the shared library, that is not already in your own library. -
What is the best program to use on Mac for editing, cropping photos from my computer. Looking for a free program that is good.
If your needs are limited to those tasks then both Preview and iPhoto will fit the bill They are already on your Mac. There is a free download from Google called Picasa available here:
http://picasa.google.com/
It works much the in same manner as iPhoto. For some really heavy duty work there is GIMP available from SourceForge:
http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/ Also a free download.

Hi, I activated my CS6 in 2012 under my student licence and still using it. I've heard that you can't run CS6 on multiple computers. How do I transfer it from one computer to another as I am switching computers?
Hi,
first, I'm not Adobe's "slave" as you might to accuse me. Most of the posters here are users like me.
I only can repeat that what I found in Adobe's help sites, as I wrote above. You are free to figure out the "real" truth and - the best would be - you may contact Adobe directly, here are - I'm sure you know them - the links I would use: http://helpx.adobe.com/support.html and http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html.

Possible to transfer 'actions' from one computer to another/ and earlier CS3 actions to CC actions?
Is it possible to transfer 'actions' from one computer to another/ and earlier CS3 actions to CC actions?
you are allowed two installations and activations with each single user license.
just use your installation cds and your serial number to install on your new computer.
if you no longer need cs6 on your old computer or that old computer has your 2nd installation/activation, open one of the adobe programs and click help>deactivate. you can then uninstall from your old computer. -

I have two iPads and one is connected to the internet but my other iPad was connected then was not and since then I have not been able to add my internet back onto my iPad it only says cannot connect to the server any help would be great thanks
If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured. -
I'm trying to reset my iPhone 4S but I have no internet as my wifi has broken and I have no data left, I have tried connecting to a computer which did not work any help would be grateful thanks
A reset has nothing to do with Internet access or data access.
A reset is simply pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
