That seems to be supported only up through 10.5.7 and probably needs Rosetta for it to run.
Rosetta is not included in 10.7.
If this is the case, you may need to partition your hard drive, install Windows on it, and use that partition for your work.

How can I get my old classic iPod library onto a new computer without losing either library? The songs on my iPod are from hundreds of CD's I don't want to re-import

My original iPod has my old CD collection on it, hundreds of them painstakingly imported. Over the years, I have got new iPod, new iPhone, new computer, and run a separate iTunes library. But now I want my old collection on my computer. How can I get this old iPod music converged with my newer music and computer, without having to wipe out a library or lose any music?

Hello jlfromcorona,
Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac. See this article for instructions.

I just upgraded from my 2008 MacBook to a new Macbook Pro. How do I get my time capsule to work on my new MacBook? I did data migration, but the time capsule did not pick it up. Any ideas?

If you migrated all the info from time machine to your new MBP. The TM will usually ask to connect to the old backups.. sorry I am not sure is this what you want to do.. Personally I think you start a fresh backup.
BTW Time Capsule does not do anything.. it is a dumb hard disk in a box.. it is TM that does everything.
Look at B5 and B6 here about connecting to your backup.

You can export ONLY Camera Roll photos and videos.

Sign in to iTunes Store (on desktop itunes) with your ID. Plug your iphone to itunes, right click on it and choose transfer purchases.Right click again and choose backup. Then you can sync with iTunes.

Your conversations will not deleted if you sync with your iTunes.
What is the problem with iCloud? iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes syncing.

HT5624 I don't want Icloud. I believe it drains the battery of my phone. How do I get the old operating system back on my new iphone 4G?

I just got a new upgrade iphone from a 3G to 4G. My son updated the software with Icloud. I do not like it, it drains my battery. How do I get the old operating system back (without icloud). Also, I don't know how to close an APP anymore and I think that could be draining my battery as well. It doesn't work the same way when I doubled click and then touch the APP it doesn't give me a dash to close it up again.

Apple does not support downgrading the iOS.
As for icloud, go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.
As for battery drain...
Look through this...
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/
Also, Settings>General>Background App Refresh: turn off apps you don't want refreshing data - this can preserve battery life.
Also try a reboot: press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.

How do I get my old iphone to sync with my new Macbook Pro?

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and was able to get all my files and such from my old computer, which was a Macbook about 4 years old. But the problem now is that when I plug in my iphone to the new computer it will not recognize the phone in my itunes. I authorized the computer for my itunes account and everything is updated I'm pretty sure... so how can I get my new computer to "accept" my iphone?

How do I get my old iPod to update on my new MacPro?

I transferred all of my songs to iTunes from my old Mac to my brand new MacPro, plugged in the iPod, but it says it can't update because it is in use from another application.
How do I get it to recognize the new Mac as the new home AND how do I get it to recognize (and PLAY) the music I previously purchased on my old Mac?
PLEASE, don't tell me I have to buy the songs over again.... plus it did some updating so I might not be able to move songs from the iPod to the new Mac.
HELP!

How do i get my old itunes back? I upgraded new version and do not like it

Please can someone help me.... I did a software update and it changed my itunes and i do not like it, can i get my old version back?
Or can i access free music again? As i could listen to the radio before???? I cannot find it in the new version.

It's been awhile since I've done something like this, but if I memory serves me, I believe you use the System Restore function to return your computer to the state it was in prior to installing iTunes 11.
That should take it back to the last version of iTunes you'd installed. Of course, any other changes you've made to your system since then (e.g. other programs installed, etc.) will also be changed back.
Not to sound like a jerk for referring you to Google like so many people online tend to do--but--I think there are instructions for the process of reverting to a previous version available online. I've done it in the past with IE 8 vs IE 9.

How do i get my old computers itunes acount to my new computer with out losing my apps and music

how do i get my itunes account to a diffrent computer without losing any of my apps or music

I assume you mean your itunes library ( music.etc) as your account is only a username and password.
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

How do I get my old address book when creating a new profile?

For some reason my profile quit working on a Win7 computer. I can get my e-mails back but copying the abook.mab over doesn't recover my address book. How can I get my contacts back without having to enter them manually?

Were you using just Personal Address Book, or had you other user-defined address books?
I think you might need ''history.mab'' too (this represents Collected Addresses) and any user-defined address books would have names such as ''abook-1.mab'' and so forth.
But you'll need to import these user-defined address books, and the tool I know for doing this is

How to I get my shuffle & iPod to work on my new laptop....

My old desktop died and my songs are songs?
1) How do I get my shuffle & my iPod to connect to my new laptop when it used to be assigned to my old dead desktop?
2) How do I get my purchased iTunes songs from Apple since I cannot get them from the dead desktop computer?
Thanks,
Bill Fee

*How do I get my shuffle & my iPod to connect to my new laptop when it used to be assigned to my old dead desktop?*
1). Connect your iPod to your computer (this won't work for the shuffle by the way which doesn't have the same manual setting the larger iPods have, you don't actually say what model the other iPod is). If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
*How do I get my purchased iTunes songs from Apple since I cannot get them from the dead desktop computer?*
If your iPod still has the purchases on it then any of the methods above will let you transfer them back to the computer. However if they aren't on the iPod and if you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

How do I get ITunes to reveal my files on a new Mac?

I have IOS 7 on my IOS devices and Itunes 10.6.3 on my PC. I can no longer synch because ITunes requires me to update to Version 11.1.3. I have tried several times to download the upgrade and it kept failing, a problem I had in the last major upgrade, so as instructed before I uninstalled ITunes from my PC and tried to download the latest version of ITunes with no success, because there seems to be remnant files that need to be cleaned up. The last time I went through this it was a challenge for the Apple Genius and after going through the hassle of trying to make an appointment without the need to download yet another app, I decided to purchase a Mac Book Air. After I was finally able to download Mavericks, then ITunes 11.1.3 and my purchased music and movies appeared, (although it won't let me play anything), ut none of the the music I had loaded onto the PC is available. I cannot share between the PC and the Mac, because the PC o longer has ITunes .
So how do I get all my files to reveal in ITunes on the new Mac? Can I plug in my iPad to sync and hope that it will upload the files and playlists without losing them on the iPad? Is there a simpler method of getting the material assigned to my ITunes account to show wherever I need it? ITunes allows you to have up to 5 computers using your account (and presumably it's contents), however this would appear to be hypothetical. And please advise how to get the movies to play on the Mac. Please help!

Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers. All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store. Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer. Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing. You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.
5 authorizations: Some households have multiple computers. If you want ot use one with an account it has to be authroized. It means you can use any computer in the house to make purchaes, etc.
Okay, my 5 minute typing limit for any one response is up.

How can i get files from my time capsule to my new mac?

Hello there,
I know this topic i much discussed, but searching has not turned up a solution.
I have a new mac book pro 15 on order and want to grab my files from my time capsule. My old mac book pro 15 (3 months old) was encrypted with file safe. In the past i have never had good results with bringing data to a new mac from time capsules; I've tried many times for my self and family. As a result I use the time capsule for day to day old file retrieval needs and do manual backups of my data onto externals and NAS devices for migration to new computers-tedious but it has yet to fail me. This time, I did that with everything except a few folders of my movies and pictures. They are now prisoner on the time capsule.
What is the best way to get files off the time capsule and does it require that my login and user name on the new mac be identical to that which was on my old mac?
(I change my user names each time i get a new mac, not specifically on purpose but i haven't paid attention to what they were when setting up a new computer.)
any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Allan,
Help me understand what question you're referring to. I've been through several new macs and am not sure what specifically you're speaking about.
My old mac had a partition on the drive that I do not want on the new mac, so I am concerned about doing a full restore and prefer a file by file or folder by folder. is this possible?

How do I get an old scanner to work on my new mac?
