How do I get ipod on new computor?

My old computer died, how can I get my new computer to work with my old ipod? I do not want to loose the music that is the ipod.

1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. 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. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (including purchases) 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. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
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 iPhoto on new iPad to load all Facebook albums to select where to upload?

How do I get iPhoto on new iPad to load all Facebook albums to select where to upload?
Besides 'new album' , 'wall photos', or 'iPhoto Uploads' ... it only shows 24 pre-existing albums to choose. I need to see the other 50, 60, etc albums I have.
I've also noticed that iPhoto fails to load to certain albums with some 'Domin Exception' error of some kind (not sure the exact message).

You need to make the new Mac iTunes library your syncing library. iTunes on the Mac sees your iPad as a new device because you have never synced with this computer before. You can make the Mac your syncing computer by following the instructions in this user tip. You will be able to transfer the purchased music on the iPad into iTunes when you follow this procedure.

How can I get a Brand New iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement phone?

4/26/2011
Does anyone how I can get a brand new iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement for my iPhone 3GS? I already had the phone replaced once with a refurbished phone that has a problem with becoming frozen and unresponsive. This occurred ten times since I got the phone on 4/16/2011. I have tried doing a hard reset and have also restored the phone as a new device. I have an Apple Care plan. I am concerned that the refurbished phones will not be reliable due to my experience with the refurbished one that I got as a replacement.
Thanks!

Thanks very much for your reply! I have a Genius Bar appointment today maybe they can test the phone to see if they can determine whether or not it is defective.
Thanks Again!

How do I get iPod to stop between songs?

How do I get iPod to stop between songs? A simple thing. I want to play a selection, then have the iPod stop, then select another song, have my iPod play it and stop, and so forth. What am I missing?

You aren't missing anything. Under normal playback conditions it isn't possible to do what you want.
The only way would be to put individual songs or selections of songs into playlists.

Leave Mail running, but close its window (click red dot or ⌘W).
Right-click the Mail icon and use "Options" to enable "Open at Login". In the "Login Items" tab of "Users & Groups" system preference, check the "Hide" box next to Mail so it doesn't open a window when starting.

How do I get information about new legal requirements?

Hi
We are 4 people in a company that has 39 active company codes in about 25 countries. How can we subcribe to whenever SAP releases new reports that meets legal requirements in specific countries? Some of our companys have their bookkeeping taken care by a neighboring country, so the bookkeepers would not know if there is a new report released from SAP. So how can we get information about new reports without having to read throug all the release documentation?
Hope you can help

Hello Jens,
this is a real problem.
What is my experience? The first priority is: try to use the SAP Standard as far as possible. No user-defined reports, no exits. Try to be always up to date with hotpackages.
A further help for me are the userforums here. If you have five minutes left, just have a look at all the questions and answers.
I know, there is a lot of stuff to read, but the releasenotes have to be checked. Unhappily I didn't find another way.
Sometimes SAP reacts just in time regarding new legal requests - and I can understand this. At least I have to say: It is not possible to manage this without having any support from the accountancy side. This enables you to search for this requests - instead of reacting.
If a country changes statutory requests regarding taxreporting or new taxtypes, changing of rates the guys from local accountancy ought give you a hint. Because they get this information at first.
I made good experiences with internal accounting forums or user groups (i. e. northern countries, westeurope, USA, southeurope).
Maybe it gives you a little help and I am very interested in all the answers to this thread.
Best regards
Horst

Did you put the entire iTunes folder on a second drive? To operate with two drives, the iTunes folder and library files have to be on the primary drive while the iTunes Music folder can sit on the second drive. You then point iTunes to the new location of the Music folder in Edit>Preferences>Advanced>General. You can read about how this operate here: Moving your iTunes Music Folder

How do i get libaray onto new computer permenantly?

I recently got a new laptop and i was wondering how i could get my ipod classic library off my ipod and onto the computer. Please any help is appreciated.

So you want to copy your library from your iPod to the new PC rather than transfer your library from one PC to another?
Transferring from one PC to another is actually easier to do if you have an external drive or network connection between the two PCs and you need extra software to copy from your iPod if you want all your counts, ratings and playlists to be be transferred.
Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.

If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.

However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

HT4859 My cloud is showing over 4gb of backed up data for a phone I no longer have. How do I get to my new phone?

My iCloud shows 4gb of data backed up for a phone I no longer have. How do I get this data to the new phone or at least see what it consists of so I can delete some of it

You can see what's contained in the backup except by looking on the phone (which you no longer have); even then, it only shows you broad categories like "Camera Roll" and your apps list.
The way you get this data on your new phone is to restore the phone to the backup. When you do this, it overwrites your data and settings with those contained in the backup. If you have newer data on your phone now (such as recent photos), you'll have to save these first. Then you go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase the phone. You will then go back through the setup screens as you did when it was new, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this might take a while to finish.
