How do I make my computer the primary for my iPhone 3G?

How do I make my computer the primary for my iPhone 3G? I am able to load music from my iTunes library but unable to delete music or create playlists on the phone from itunes. The computer I set the phone up with (primary) was destroyed.

There is no "main" or " primary" account.
Iphone, ipod touch, ipad will sycn with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content from the device and replace with content from the new computer.
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

How do you make Nokia appreciate the need for Lumi...

As much as I'm loving the new devices Nokia releases I can't help but feel they keeping getting the internal storage wrong on their higher end devices.
An ideal world would offer decent internal memory (16GB minimum/32GB+ preferable) as well as microSD access on all their Lumia linup. I accept that there woiuld be a trade-off for some designs to try to incorporate this on all the devices, but for those devices that don't have a microSD and you are selling as high-end (92X series) you should provide an absolute minimum of 32GB internal memory.
The Lumia 925 is a beautiful device, but the 16GB version (which I'm assuming will be the most readily available option compared to the 32GB version) is woefully lacking for decent internal storage.
As great as the cloud computing/4G LTE revolution will be, it isn't here yet so you can't sell devices that appear to be intended to have their internal memory extended/supplemented by cloud access, as there's very few countries in the world that have a 4G network up to the task.
Even when cloud access/4G is improved I still would consider it vital to have decent sized local storage as well as high-speed cloud access. Network access/reliability isn't 100% and so a device that relies on cloud access ends up being as crippled as Google's Chromebook has been since launch having to rely on a tech which isn't there yet. Sure, gaming and the bulk of your music might make sense to play via the cloud when you can but with such amazing cameras on the devices there needs to be enough internal memory to give the user no worry of using it all up with apps, downloaded music&films for offline viewing, photos and their amazing holiday videos.
Nokia makes a great deal (and quite rightly) that the camera in your pocket should have great imaging capabilities as it's the one you can most quickly reach for. Their Lumia devices are being positioned as devices suitable for all locations and all situations and so should be able to operate as such - when we go off the beaten track, we should be limited in what our device can do because it can't access the network!
I sincerely ask Nokia not to put out any higher-end Lumias without the following minimum requirements:
1) 16GB+ internal storage with accessible expandable microSD memory.
2) 32GB+ internal storage if no microSD slot available.
3) 16GB+ internal storage with built in inaccessible microSD memory (32GB+ minimum) if the phone's design makes external microSD impractical/undesirable

Don’t think there’s any need to argue anything here I believe another_rob has a point I purchase a Lumia 800 on release date knowing it only had 16gb of memory with no way to expand it, but I thought the 25gb of cloud would be good enough to compensate for lack of memory in the phone it self. Well what a fool was I, I don’t live out in the sticks, I live in a medium size town just outside one of the UKs main cities and even here there are parts of the town that you can loose phone connection let alone a good data connection, so I learned very quickly that the cloud option is at best poor and worst pointless for me.
I can see that yes cloud will get better with 4G and is only going to get better over time but it is to soon to make the phone so dependant on it, just a small point MS has now taken back 18gb of that cloud storage any way, didn’t bother me as I’ve not used it over the last twelve months now any way, also just another point the phone uses some of that 16gb of memory for the OS and other system software so you don’t even get the whole 16gb for your own use, I never looked myself when I first got the phone to see how much the OS used.
I also have my own nas storage at home which I have access to via the net so I can see and understand the advantages to cloud based back up and file transfer, but after saying that I’m now looking for a different phone partly due to the lack of greater internal memory storage in the phone. My own Lumia only has 750mb of memory left and that is only because I have had to decide not to copy files to the phone that I used to have on my previous phone Nokia N900.
I know there is going to be cost considerations that Nokia have used to determine what memory to put in the phone so as not to make it to pricey and put people of as the mobile market is so very competitive but why not at lest give the user a couple of options either phones with different memory options or just a card slot, for me my next phone will have at lest 32gb of internal memory and an sd slot so I can have all the files I want full access to anywhere and at any time. So with this in mind I think there is no Nokia that meets this requirement and even if there was I have other problems with the OS on the phone so will not be buying another windows phone, which if a sad day for me as I’ve owned Nokia phones for over 25+ years.
Please this is just my own personal view as was your post and this forum is here for people to post there own views and ask question or ask for assistance and I hope that Nokia read these post and try to put phones out there that we will all be happy to own and use, just for now I will be using someone else’s mobile for the next couple of years I guess has I will be taking out another 18 or 24 month contract. No phone manufacture is ever going to make a phone that is perfect for everyone, mission impossible.
I will keep an eye on this forum and other press to see how thing progress with the Lumia range and who knows I may be back with them in a couple of years time so I wish you all well.

How can I make Skype Desktop the default for Call: links in MS Outlook?

How can I persuade MS Outlook to use Skype Desktop for Call: links (such as those for phone numbers in a Contact Card)? Right now it is using Skype for Business to open them (I have both Skype Desktop and Skype for Business - formerly Lync - installed) and I need to use Skype Desktop by default instead. Office 365 Business (15.0.4727.1003) on Windows 8.1 Pro x64, with Skype Desktop v 7.6.whatever the latest is. Advice very welcome!

How do I make a ringtone with GarageBand for my iPhone from rights-protected AAC audio files I purchased from iTunes?

When I try to import some songs I purchased from iTunes into GarageBand so I can create a customer ringtone a window pops open stating that I cannot import a rights-protected AAC audio file? I bought the song from iTunes and can play it on my iPhone iPod application. Does not make sense except from a mercenary perspective why I cannot create a custom ringtone from the song and play it on my iPhone when the phone rings. Is there a solution?

You cannot use DRM protected songs for this as they are drm protected to stop you from doing this.
Any itunes plus ( all itunes music sold over the past couple of years or so) can be used to make ringtones.

I use more than one computer to access my four business email accounts. When one computer is on (and mail is open) emails do not get through to the other computers. This is fine, but how do I make one of the other computers the dominant one?

I use more than one computer to access my four business email accounts. When one computer is on (and mail is open) emails do not get through to the other computers. This is fine, but how do I make one of the other computers the dominant one?

I assume these are POP accounts and all computers are set to remove from Server after downloading.
So on the non dominant ones... Mail Preferences>Accounts, highlight an account, Advanced tab, uncheck remove from Server, just have the main dominant one remove from server.
Or get/setup IMAP accounts.

You will have to sync it to the new one, erasing the current content from the ipod and replacing it with the content from the new drive.
Make sure you have copied everything from your backup copy of your computer back to the new drive first.

That is the way Mac OS X 10.8 (aka Mountain Lion) works by default. Are you actually running that system? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.) If so, make sure the check box in the shut down alert is checked:

How do I make my computer recognize my ipod?

Help anybody,
I've been an iPod user two years now, I own a 4G 40 gig iPod
I use my iPod as a hard drive for all my files, it was fine until two days ago when I noticed a folder icon when I turned it on, from then on I can't get my computer/itunes to mount my iPod (i.e. my PC hangs), as a result I can't access any files i recently put in and I can't load any music
I suspect that the hard drive is damaged (I really hope I'm wrong on that one), but what puzzles me is that I can still play songs on it...
Can I play songs on my iPod even if the hard drive is damaged?
Is it possible that files that I loaded were corrupted and as a result corrupted my iPod?
lastly,

Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem. Here are various ‘generic’ solutions that you can try in an effort to correct your problem. One should work. These are listed in simplest to more involved order (usually).
First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
Your PC may have difficulty with the USB2 protocol and the iPod. See this Article for a possible solution: iPod not Recognized Correctly
Also try these hints (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.
Also See:
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod
iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop

If you are getting a ‘Missing Drivers’ message, try this:
1. Go to http://www.driverguide.com and register (free)
2. Download ‘usbstor.sys’ & ‘usbstor.inf’ to your PC and place them in your i386 Folder
3. Update both drivers by selecting the two files you just downloaded
4. Reboot computer
5. Open iTunes and then connect you iPod
If all the above fails, you may have a Virus, Malware or SpyWare problem.
If you do find that your Device Manager is blank, you should probably check up on this issue first: No Items Appear in the Device Manager List When You Open It

Hello Louise,
There are a couple of ways that you can download your apps to iTunes on your computer.
First, you can transfer your purchases to from your iPhone to your computer using the steps in this article:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
Alternatively, you can download the apps directly from the iTunes Store using the steps in this article:

How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors?

How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors? This is for when I am at home, and everytime the computer goes to sleep it essentially loses the connection, only to pick up my neighbors network when it is awaken.

Thanks in advance!

You can make your network the preferred network.

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail screen" how do I make it call the number instead?

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail" screen with icloud, Microsoft exchange, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol & Windows Live Hotmail listed beneath. How do I make it call the number instead?

Never heard of that. I suspect it thinks that's an email address and you're seeing that screen b/c you don't have an email account setup on your iPhone.
Assuming the number is valid, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
