I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • My iPod touch 4 is always crashing is there a way that i can fix it

    my iPod touch 4 is always crashing is there a way that i can fix it

    You can try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Wait for iOS update

  • So you can't add apps from your pc to a touch?

    I deleted tap tap 1 cause I have tap tap 2 on my touch, but my brother wanted to play the first 1 again. Its not on my ipod but in the apps section on itunes but it wont go back on to it. is this how its suppose to be? Tap Tap 1 is now $0.99 and I got it when it came out for free. should I just tell my brother he is out of luck?
    Any help

    Log into your itunes account on your computer and download it again for free. Once you buy an App it's yours. You can download it again as many times as you need to.
    But make sure your logged into the account that you originally downloaded it with.
    Hope this helps

  • So basically passbook is card star but you can't add your own cards in manually?

    So if passbook is like news stand and you can only use cards that are in the App Store, then isn't it just like cardstar? Or Thin Wallet? Whut makes passbook SOOOOO special?

    Part of the reason for such stuttery playback performance lies with the limitations of the single SATA connection (channel) itself. You see, SATA is not full duplex, but only half-duplex. That means that a block of transfers going in one direction must be completed before a block of transfers can even begin in the opposite direction. Think of the SATA channel (single connection) as a single-lane stretch of highway with traffic signals at each end. What's worse, that single disk must also deal with the Windows pagefile, the media cache, previews and various other things all going on at the same time. As a result, the effective performance of that single disk can plummet by a factor of six: That single disk, after accounting for all of the tasks it must perform at the same time as video playback, is left with only about 32 MB/s of bandwidth available for Premiere Pro.
    In other words, that single disk is being severely overworked as it is.

  • How can I deactivate one computer, so I can install Audition CC on another computer?

    Not knowing I had to 'deactivate' Audition CC from one computer to put it on another one, I deleted all the Audition CC files from this computer before deactivating it.  Do I need to re-install before I can deactivate?
    Thanks.
    KW

    If contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone they can help with deactivating the uninstalled application.
    Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/download-install/supportinfo/
    You are allowed to have activated installations on two machines, so you did not have to dectivate on the other machine if that is the only one you had installed the software on.

  • HT1329 I have a new computer my Ipod when connected it does not show my music, I wish to add my already owned music from Ipod on to my computer so I can then add the cd songs I just loaded onto my Ipod

    How do I move all my music from Ipod to my new laptop I have accumulated it over the years from my own cd collection and when it synics it doesn't see it?

    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    The ipod is not a backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • New to Mac. I exported (aka Saved As) a Pages document as a PDF. I want to make some more changes to the original doc but I can't find it on my computer. Did it get replaced by the PDF version?

    See title Bloch for my question

    When you open a Word document in Pages it is converted to a new .pages document and you will be prompted to save it when you close it. That will save it to a .pages file which will then contain all the automatically saved versions from then on.
    You export to a .pdf file, this retains the .pages version but creates a.pdf copy of it.
    I don't know what you mean by "red X'ing" the document unless you mean you are closing it by clicking on the red button at the top left of the window.
    I assume you are using Mac OSX 10.8, not Windows XP, which will auto save for you when you close the document.

  • Can't add a new audio track without any settings

    Can anyone tell me were faced with the same problem. Doing audio post production in Logic Pro X, the latest version, the project is big, At some stage the work I was faced with the fact that you can't add a new audio track without any settings, no matter what inserts I track with duplicate settings of one of the tracks and it begins to sound with this track. I don't add a new audio track with duplicate settings. I add a new one, and I still opens the track with some sort of settings. What is it? This is a glitch or I'm somewhere that we have not considered? Duplicates the configuration of one of the tracks collected in group 1, which I did for editing convenience. Duplicates and also automation and if the new track am I doing something then this machine is transferred to the existing track from this group.

    Everything works in full 'Logic Pro X' mode. It's just a glitch in my project. The problem while you decide this: I insert a new track and it reset and set the output.

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
