  • How can I uninstall yosemite without losing all my stuff?

    I just installed Yosemite tonight and I've realized that I absolutely hate it. Not only does it look horrible, but my computer is super laggy, wont load anything but firefox, and for a while it completely locked me out of my computer. I need my computer for work and school so this is absolutely not acceptable. I really just want to go back to mavericks, however I don't have an external hard drive or have time machine. How can I go back to mavericks without losing all my stuff?

    Unless your machine shipped with Mavericks or, if not, you saved a copy of the Mavericks install app, you're screwed. Without a bootable backup/clone or TM backup of your previously good Mavericks installation, there's no way to get from here to there; unless you know someone that kept the Mavericks installer.

  • I have two identical Mail accounts. How can I delete one without losing all the mail in both accounts?

    I have two identical Mail accounts.  Don't know how that happened -- the second one just showed up one day. If I try to delete one account, I get a warning that all mail in the accounts will be permanently lost.  How can I delete one of the duplicate accounts without losing messages in both accounts?

    Download the yahoo email app, if you already deleted and reinstalled the email account and still have issue.

  • Hi, my old laptop has died, and I need to set up my ipod on my new one, can I do this without losing all the music on it, as some of them are from  old cd's I no longer have??

    Hi, my laptop died recently, and I have purchased a new one, I want to connect my ipod to it to synch to Itunes but I don't want to lose everything on it, as some are cd's I no longer have, is there a way of synching without losing everything x

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Can I uninstall iTunes without losing all my music?

    When trying to sync my iPod touch with my computer, I'm encountering an error in iTunes that tells me that the "Software for the iPhone is not installed..." and that I need to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it.
    That's all well and good, however both methods of backing up your music that are listed on Apple's support site have not worked for me. I can't get the CD's to burn and trying to copy the music over using the iPod itself was a total failure.
    I've got iTunes on another computer and it recognizes the Touch just fine. It's the iTunes on the main computer with all the music that's giving me problems.
    So, is there any way to uninstall, then reinstall, iTunes on my computer without losing the music?
    Can I make a back up folder or something like that?

    i had the same problem but it was fix
    try to open the command prompt as administrator an write 'netsh winsock reset', sometimes don't work but lets try it

  • TS1591 My ipod classic (80gb) won't sync with my mac & itunes. How can i fix this without losing all my data? (ie. music, photos, video)

    My ipod classic is still working, its not frozen or anything. It just won't sync up with my macbook and itunes. I recently realized that I had previously connected it to a PC just to charge it then it when i tried to connect it to my mac, it wouldn't sync up. Can someone help me figure this out? I don't want to lose all of my data though, like music, photos, or videos. Any help is appreciated! Thank you for your time!

    okay, I don't know about the rest, but about the songs never actually loading onto your iPod, I found in another discussion how to fix that. I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know if the steps are the same, but the end result is the same. So go into your Start menu, then into accessories, right click 'Command Prompt' and click 'Run as administrator'. Then type in the following: netsh winsock reset then press Enter. After a few seconds it should tell you to to restart your computer for changes to take effect. Restart your computer, then restart iTunes, then everything should be working fine. It still takes forever sometimes to update the iPod, but eventually it will work. I've had to do this multiple times, so I'd suggest copying & pasting this solution into a notepad or Word document and saving it on your computer, so you don't have to go through the discussions again to find it. This tends to happen to me nearly every day unfortunately Hope this fixes that problem, but I'm not having any of the other problems fortunately, except for removing the artwork of the songs it updates without me asking it too. PS I think my problem may be with iOS 5, because iTunes 10.5 came out before iOS 5, and I think everything was fine before I updated my iPod, but I really don't know where the problem lies

    You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
    Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
    where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
    After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
    That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

  • HT1386 The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

  • My laptop recently broke and I had to buy a new one. How do I sync my iphone 4 with the new laptop without losing all data?

    Hi there,
    Well the title says it all really.
    I have to sync my iphone 4 with my new laptop as the old one broke. How do I do this without losing all my pictures, music, contacts & things purchased form the itunes store?
    It seems really silly that everything gets wiped off the phone when using a different laptop. This problem must happen quite often as I am sure I am not the only person who has had a pc that has broken.
    I hope you someone can help. All the stuff on my phone is important to me.
    Many thanks
