How do I get my old TM to a new mac user
ok, to keep things short, my old mac user became corrupt using my mobileme and the quickest and easiest way seemed to be that I backed up everything, created a new user and put everything into that.
That was the easy part, I didn't use TM, instead using an external hard drive to drag and drop my personal files i needed and itunes etc etc. I then deleted the old mac user.
I forgot about some photos and after having done everything a week ago and the new mac user working perfectly, I need a photo. When I opened TM the backups from a month are there but greyed out and I can't access them.
what do I need to do for my new mac user to see the old mac users backups ?
You might be able to re-create the old user account (exactly the same, of course) and use that account to restore the photos to that account.

Ilife 11 does it include idvd if not how do i get it? I'm a new mac user just got mac book pro
just got macbook pro new mac user, does ilife include idvd? if not how can i get it???
Boxed sets of iLife'11 include iDVD.
New macs shipping with Lion do not. The only iLife components included are iPhoto, iMovie, and Garageband.
Complain to Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
some people have gotten iDVD that way.....
Or find a boxed set of iLife'11 or iLife'09 and use "custom install" to install iDVD only, then run software update. -
How can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks
how can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks
Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles -

So you had a windows computer before?
See here for moving content options
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
When the content is moved over if it has been purchased with the old ID than it will not play until you authorise the new machine with the old Apple ID
Store > Authorise Computer.
This will not change buying content with the new iD going forwar it will just let you platy the old content as well as any new you might get.
If you are going to get rid of the old computer then it is a good idea to
Store > Deauthorise this computer -
HT1535 Ipod Nano linked to a non existant library. How can I get my old songs to a new library?
I have an old Nano that I have about 300 songs on. I no longer have the PC with the library that this device was linked to. I have a new iPhone 5 and opened a new iTunes library to purchase songs for the new phone. How can I get the songs from the Nano to transfer to my new iTunes library that is syncd to my iPhone?
Hi Elk2bugle,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from your iPod to a new computer. See this article for the steps:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
You can also download past purchases directly to your iPhone, or computer using iTunes:

All the best,

Broke my old computer, how can i get my old account on to new computer?
My old computer was destroyed before I could retrieve any information off of it. I was given a computer that already had itunes installed, but now I can't use this new computer as my primary account and cannot sync my ipod with this new computer without first dlelting all of my ipod information. How can I get this cuurent itunes account back to "virgin" and how can I make this my one-and-only syncable itunes account? Thank you so much for any help you can offer!
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use this to put eveything back.

I have a new MAC PC with an old IPod Touch that was synch to my old desktop, how do I get the new music on my new MAC if I might have had an old account?
The article in my previous reply said:
- Transfer iTunes purchases from iPod to computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For non-Tunes purchases you need to use a third-party program. Several are discussed in the link in my previous reply
- Then to sync with the new computer after getting all synced media like apps and music on the new computer yo have to backup the iPod to iTunes and restore from that backup
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes -
How do I get songs to play on my new mac that were associated with an old itunes ID?
I recently purchased a new lap top and downloaded my songs from a back up server and someof the songs will not play becasue they are associated with an old Apple ID which is no longer used and has not been used for years. How do I get these songs to play under the new Apple ID that I have?
You need to authorize the computer to play content from that Apple ID. If it's completely inaccessible, click here and request assistance.

How do I get an OLD iPod and a NEW iPad to share?
Some time ago I purchased an iPod against my better judgement. A couple of weeks ago I received a new iPad as a gift. I attempted to get set up with my OLD Apple id, but Apple said it didn't exist. Possible since it hadn't been used for a couple of years or more. So I established a "new" Apple id. Then I found out the old one does still exist and it had purchases on it. Now I can't get the old purchases to show up on the new iPad. Is Apple anal retentive when it comes to file handling or what????? I've heard that each ap has it's own storage and file id so even documents can't be found. I thought Apple was supposed to be the "best".
Okay, I re-read what you wrote. I think your words were "If you created a new Apple ID, any purchases you made will be linked to that Apple ID. Use your old Apple ID to download whatever you purchased in the past." So I can still access the "old" stuff on the "old" equipment using the "old" id, and I can access the "new" stuff on the "new" equipment, using the "new" id. What did I miss? I've already read about 200 pages of comments that Apple won't allow you to merge id's so I'm not the only one complaining.
As for returning it? Yeah if you want to pay a $75 rental fee for two weeks. I think they call it a "restocking" fee. And I haven't even begun on the anal retentive idea that it will only download and view MP4 videos, even though most of the world uses AVI. Then there is the issue that you can't use memory cards, thumb drives or anything else of that nature because, there are not ports for anything. And Apple makes sure no one elses cables, cords, connectors etc. are compatible. But assuming you can actually use the thing for anything besides pictures you take with it and MP4 videos, the display is truely stunning.
The weak minds are at Apple and their rediculous restrictions. -
How do I get an old library to a new computer? Old one crashed
How do I get my library of music to a new computer? I authorized the new computer but nothing is going to the new computer Please help
your library won't magically appear on the new machine.
this is one option:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
however, the music feature is currently available in the US only.
if you have your library on an iPod, check out this post by Zevoneer.
you can also remove the HDD from the crashed computer, put it in an external enclosure, and try to retrieve your library from it.
of course, the easiest way would be to restore from your latest backup. if you don't have one, start backing up once you're up and running. get an external HD and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) to it. use e.g. SyncToy to keep both folders in sync.
SyncToy
SyncToy 2.1 is a free application that synchronizes files and folders between locations. Typical uses include sharing files, such as photos, with other computers and creating backup copies of files and folders.
