How do I save songs from old version of iTunes that I have on my iPod, as new verson is asking me to erase and sync before I can do ANYTHNG, and I don't want to lose my music!

Hi everyone,
Can anyone help?! Pleeeeease
I have recently bought a new computer (new operating system Windows 7) and downloaded the new iTunes. When I tried to add a new song to my iPod shuffle, it said I had to ERASE and SYNC my iPod to the 'new' iTunes, and there seems to be no way around it. I DON'T repeat DON'T want to lose all my music on my iPod, as I no longer have that music/my old laptop with music on, and there are so many songs on it that it would take like forever to re-download EVRYTHING.
I tried saving playlist on in iTunes, but it only saves it as a Read only file, there are no MP3's in there.
I'm tearing my hair out over this!
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kitty

How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to sync with your iTunes library whether that be automatically or manually.
If it's automatically, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod. For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod. Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it. You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will open up a submenu of content, so go ahead and click on Music. Locate the track or tracks you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

When I try to sync music from iTunes playlist to my Ipod shuffle it says the iPod is synced to a different liabrary. It asks if I want to delete the music already on the Ipod and sync it to "this" library. I don't want to lose the music already on Ipod.

Please help. I have no idea why this is happening and I'm kinda new to using iTunes. I'm trying to sync music from a playlist on my iTunes account onto my iPod Shuffle (older Shuffle). I use Windows XP on my laptop. When I try moving the songs to the iPod it says the iPod is synced to another library. I didn't know I had another library (but I guess it is possible because I used iTunes a few years ago too).
The only option I get is to delete the music already on the iPod and sync the iPod to "this" library. I really don't want to lose the music already on the iPod. PLEASE HELP. I'm tech challenged to say the least.

See this post.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. That is how it works
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

How do I export songs from my iPhone onto iTunes? (The songs are from a seperate computer than the one I am trying to import the songs to)

How do I put songs from my iphone onto itunes?

The only way to do this is to purchase 3rd party software such as Touch Copy. iTunes will transfer purchased music from your phone to your iTunes library (by right-clicking on your phone in iTunes and selecting Transfer Purchases), but not music that wasn't purchased from iTunes. If the other computer is at your home, on the same network and logged into the same Apple ID you can use Home Sharing to copy music from one iTunes library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.

When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

I can't force quit Numbers or even shutdown the iMac.
I don't want to lose the spreadsheet (90% completed so far) or upgrade to Yosemite.

What to do?
Thanks.

NOTE: Just discovered that Adobe is making a bigger mess than any previously.
They now have a 32-bit uninstaller for Flash '''''AND''''' a separate 64-bit uninstaller for Flash. You will need the 64-bit uninstaller for what you had installed above.

What do i need to do with my current iPhoto before upgrading to iPhoto 11? i don't want to lose any of my photos!

i'm getting ready to upgrade to iphoto 11 so i can use photostream. I just don't want to lose my current photos.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you open iPhoto '11 for the first time, your library will be upgraded in order to be used with iPhoto '11. If this process doesn't finish correctly, you will lose all your photos.
Because of that, the only thing you have to do is to make a backup of your iPhoto library before upgrading. Just open a Finder window, go to the folder where your iPhoto library is (normally, Pictures) and make a copy of it in another folder or drive. With this, you can upgrade safely to iPhoto '11

How do I migrate Actions from Old Version to new?

I've been using Photoshop 6.0 for years and have many custom actions that I have created myself. I've now downloaded the trial for photoshop CS2. I want to use the actions I've created in version 6 in CS2. How do I migrate these old actions into CS2? What files do I copy to the CS2 folder from my version 6 folder?
I don't see any difference in the actions files (.atn files) listed in /presets/actions folders. File sizes are the same and I don't see any action group files with the names I saved them in. Where are my custom actions and how do I move these old ones into the new version? My actions were saved in a group called 'My Actions'. I see no .atn file with that name.
This is the only thing I need to figure out. Upgrading to CS2 is a no brainer -- it has many fixes that version 6 needed. But I don't want to recreate the old actions. There's got to be a way to do this. Please tell me what I need to do.
Thanks.

First of all, you should have been using 6.0.1.
You need to save your Actions before you can move them around. Just putting them into a set is not enough. From the Actions palette flyout arrow, choose New Set (or click on the little folder icon at the bottom of the palette), name it and put your custom Actions in it. Then go to the flyout menu and choose Save Actions. Save the Set to any location you wish (Presets Folder is a good place.
That will make an .atn file that you can move or copy anywhere you like. You can load it in the new version from its location (flyout arrow> Load Actions) or put (copy) it in the Photoshop Actions folder in Presets which will let you load it by choosing from the menu.

How to get missing songs from old phone

Hello all,
I recently broke my iphone and I just received a new one in the mail the other day. I created a backup in itunes and used that backup to restore my new phone. However, when my new phone was finished restoring I was missing about 1000 songs. Without starting over what is the best way to get the missing music from my old phone to the new one? Can I load itunes on another computer and then sync my music from my old phone and then just copy the library to itunes on my main computer? Thanks for any help.

Hi HelpPleaseMan,
>>How to get a photo from windows phone 8 programmatically and how to save that photo into my phone.
In Windows Phone 8 we can use the
PhotoChooserTask to enable users to select an existing photo from the phone.
For more information, please try to refer to:
#How to use the photo chooser task for Windows Phone 8:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh394019(v=vs.105).aspx .
Besides, we can also use the
CameraCaptureTask to enable users to take a photo from your application using the built-in Camera application. If the user completes the task, an event is raised and the event handler receives a photo in the result. On Windows Phone 8, if the user accepts
a photo taken with the camera capture task, the photo is automatically saved to the phone’s camera roll.

How to transfer purchased songs from old PC to a new one?

Hi -
Any ideas on how to transfer my songs stored in iTunes on my old computer to the newly installed iTunes on my new computer? As I am looking through the postings, it doesn't seem possible, but I would like to make sure.
For example, is it possible to transfer some of my songs through my iPod Suffle (after I load it up with songs stored in my old PC)? After I installed the iPod software on my new PC, my Suffle was reformated, hence is currently empty...
So much trouble for what I thought was going to be a simple switch!!! Please help!
Thanks!

Please help- how do I transfer songs from my brother's Itunes onto my Ipod?

I would like to transfer songs and movies from my brother's Itunes into my Ipod (both are 7.0 version). How in the world do I do this? I have tried to sync individual songs from his Itunes onto my Ipod through the right click sync on the device menu, but it just leads me to a confusing summary screen about my Ipod. I don't want to move all of his songs/movies onto mine, just a few.
Thanks in advance!
hp laptop Windows XP

On your brothers PC, COnnect the ipod.
On the ipod summery page hit the "Music" tab and check "Manually manage songs and video" then hit the "Apply" button in the lower righthand corner
Now you can drag items in itunes like songs and video from itunes to the ipods name listed in itunes, which will add the item to your ipod.
Keep in mind tho...
If he has any purchased content you add to your ipod, you will need his ID if you plan on adding it and using it on your itunes when you go home

Presumably you didn;t use it very often.
June 2011:
iWeb publishing, MobileMe Gallery, and iDisk will all disappear as the company sunsets its current online service in favor of iCloud.
Other MobileMe services—including syncing of Mac Dashboard widgets, keychains, Dock items, and System Preferences—will not be part of iCloud, Apple says. Those syncing services will stop working as soon you migrate from MobileMe to iCloud. In addition, Apple says that while MobileMe members can no longer upgrade to a Family Pack or buy additional MobileMe storage, Family Pack members will be able to transition their accounts to iCloud individually, as long as it’s done before June 30, 2012.

August 2012:
As of today, visitors to MobileMe.com are no longer given the option to convert their accounts to iCloud or to retrieve old photos and files, with Apple now simply pointing users to iCloud.
