How do you get your library off your old computer if it will not turn on?

how do you get your library off your old computer if it will not turn on?

You can extract the drive; put it into an external enclosure to mount it to another computer by USB or FireWire (if available) to acess the files. Copy and paste (Windows-style) or drag and drop (Mac-style) to another destination-- another external HDD or another computer.

    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

  • HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

    Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

    The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

  • How do you get your old back ups back

    how do you get your old back ups back

    Typically iCloud and iTunes only save the latest backup. In reality, when you subsequently backup, the last backup is modified with the changes and you only have one backup. The except seems to be if you restore from backup it appears that that backup is retained.
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage and to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if more than one backup is listed.

    Tried to load PSE13 on my new computer.  Said too many computers for that serial number.  Deactivated (signed-off) on old computer.  Still will not activate, same message.

    Are you waiting for Activation support? Because they're the only ones who can fix this. Don't waste time on regular support. If you aren't there already, go here:
    Activation & Deactivation Help
    And scroll down to "Still need help? Contact us" and work your way through the links there till you can start a chat session.

  • How do you install adobe suite off an old computer onto a new computer?

    Bought myself a new comp, and want to know how to install my adobe suite onto it, off my old computer. Any Sug@gestions?

    You do not want to move your programs from one machine to another.  Install it on the new machine like you originally did with the old one.  If you need to download the files you can probablly find them available thru the following page:
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    If you no longer plan to use the original installation you can deactivate it (open an application -> Help -> Deactivate).  You are allowed to have two activated installations so there is no requirement to disable it on the old machine.
    If you need to locate your serial number to activate the new installation you might be able to find the serial number thru your Adobe account online.  If you need additional help...
    To locate the serial number:

  • How do you get your old bookmarks back that is gone from firefox upgrade?

    Firefox really screwed up with the bookmarks with the new browser. I found another work around besides the other post. You may need the older browser so go to the other link and install the older browser after you uninstalled the new browser. Right now I am using Palemoon browser to post this which is a true 64bit browser and looks like a clone of Firefox. Really impressed with Palemoon so I am going to continue to try it out.
    Go here for instructions to restore your old bookmarks. Like I said you may need to reinstall the older Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them?esab=a&s=restore+bookmark+from+backup&r=0&as=s#w_restoring-from-backups
    If your bookmarks are on another PC computer go where Firefox keeps a backup of your bookmarks in your pc. In Windows 8 it is located in
    C:\Users\lion\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\5eczdook.default\bookmarkbackups
    In Windows 7 and XP it is located somewhere in the AppData. Just browse to the AppData folder and find your way to Mozilla
    In the Mac it is similar but in the Library I believe. With a Mac just use common sense and Linux basics.
    Once you located the bookmarks, look for the file with the date you want. Copy that sucker and paste it in the proper folder on the other computer where you want your bookmarks restored. Then run the Restore and mentioned above.
    Your done!
    If you want to check out Palemoon goto http://www.palemoon.org/ ...Palemoon defaults with Duckandgo search engine which is an up and coming search engine that doesn't track you and provides listing that focuses on keywords. I am liking it also.

    Hi gman411,
    This forum is for questions about Firefox. Please see the Palemoon forum [http://forum.palemoon.org/]

  • HT202213 How do you get your old songs back on your device?

    Do I use iCloud or HomeSharing?

    That depends on where the songs are. If they are on your computer, you can sync them with iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer with the cable
    Launch iTunes
    Click on the iPad name on the left under "Devices"
    Click on the Music Tab in iTunes on the right
    Click on all of the artists, or playlists that you want to sync - or choose the "Entire Library" option
    Make sure that the Sync Music heading is checked
    Click on Apply or Sync in the lower right corner of iTunes
    I don't use iTunes Match, (the cloud), but this should explain it to you.

    How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?

    Are you syncing to a different computer?  Iphone will sycn with only one at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Otherwise, just select what you want to be on the iphone under the music tab and sync.  What do you care if it erases?  You will be syncing what you want to the iphone.

  • How do you get your information, that's on your icloud, something was taken off my notes that should be back-up in my icloud. Help

    How do you get your information, that's on your icloud, something was taken off my notes that should be back-up in my icloud. Help

    The syncing of Notes, isn't a back-up. All it does is to sync Notes to other devices. Whether being a Mac, another iOS device or icloud.com
    This is the same with Contacts, Calendars and what not.
