How to disable audible account after hard drive crash

I have had 2 computer hard drive crashes that were authorized iTunes accounts. Since they crashed, I don't know how to de-authorize them. What happens after all 5 of my authorized account computers crash? I can no longer listen to music purchased through iTunes?
I hope there is a way to de-authorize a computer that crashed. Can anyone help!

I believe this might of worked after all. I did like you said and double clicked on the My Catalog file. PSA and it just put in the timeline and dates on the pictures but had a ? mark and no picture. I then chose to dowload files from the My pictures folder that the downloader was directed to for each download. It seems to restoring the photo's and putting them with the tags and all. I am so relieved because I had 37,500 pictures that would of been untagged and out of order. I learned my lesson to do a backup more frequently! Thanks for your help. If I would want to update to PSE 9 is it compatible with windows XP?

How to get iPhoto back after hard drive replaced?

I went in to get a new hard drive on my MacBook Pro because it had stopped working and lost everything on my laptop including iPhoto.
How should I go about getting the app back?

reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

How Do I Restore iPod after Hard Drive Failure?

I have an iMac G4 desktop that is 3 years old. 1 week ago I had a serious hard drive and had to replace the hard drive.
I have an iPod and when I tried to move music from the iPod into the new drive, the iMusic program said that the program only supported the previously registered iPod.
I think my iPod can't recognize the new hard drive (or vice versa.
How do I restore music from the iPod to the new hard drive? I have read iPod support article 300173 about moving music to a new computer. It doesn't help me because I can't do the first step of connecting to the old computer (hard drive) since its dead.
Also the iPod is a 30 GB unit and I have 9.81 GB of space left.

Try Senuti.
It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.

How do you install OS after Hard Drive upgrade? Thinkpad T41p

I have a Thinkpad T41p with Window XP Pro on it. I have a new larger hard drive for it, but I do not know how I will be able to install the OS on the new drive. The laptop came with the OS already installed on it. That will to be the case, of course, for the new hard drive. So what do I do? If you could point me to a step-by-step procedure, I would be most grateful. I have installed numerous OSs, so I am familiar with how to do that from installation CDs.
Thanks in advance for the help.
GKent

Just went through this process on my wife's T41. I did the following:
downloaded and installed the eval copy of Active@ Disk Image and Active@ Boot Disk (created a boot CD).
rebooted to the BIOS setup and in the security setting for the IBM Predesktop Area I selected Disable saved the changes and booted
rebooted to windows and usedActive@ Disk Image to create a raw image of the entire disk to a USB hard drive
Shut down and removed the original hard drive and installed the new empty hard drive
rebooted using the CD created by Active@ Book Disk and started the Active@ Disk Image utility
selected the Image to Disk option. This took the raw image and installed it on the new hard drive (this included the hidden partition as well as the windows partition
rebooted without the boot cd and logged in to windows
rebooted into the BIOS and reset the security setting for the IBM Predesktop Area to Normal, saved changes and booted
result is the same size partitions as before on the new 80 GB hard drive so I then ran Partition Magic to resize the Windows partition to utilize all of the remaining space on the disk (left the hidden partion in place - it is still bootable)
rebooted and I now have a 74.5 GB drive for windows with all of the installed software intact
I did plan on using the recovery option to reinstall the image to the factory settings since I had a few issues with windows on the original drive. Ran Rescue and Recovery and it could not find the restore images After much searching it appears that I will have to go out and buy the CDs (unless someone has a free download option)

How do I restore Lion after Hard Drive Crash?

My MacBook's hard drive failed recently. It was easy enough to pop in my SnowLeopard DVD and restore the lastest Lion TimeMachine backup. I was up and running in no time. Easy.
My question is what is the proper procedure in the era of Lion? This method only restores the main partition. What about the Recovery Partition? I'm assuming that could come in handy... you know, to repair the partition or disk permissions if needed, right?
I'm sure it's not as hard as I am making this out to be. If you could please point me in the right direction online, I would be very grateful. My googling skills aren't up to the task, apparently.

GRRR!!!
My apologies for cluttering up the threads. I didn't know how to word it, I guess.

How do i restore data after hard drive replacement

I recently had to have my HD replaced (failed after nearly six years). the data was recovered and is sitting on my desktop in a folder. How do I restore that data (login, passwords, photos,etc) so it is the default login on my mac?

The way you are describing your situation it doesn't sound like the system was backed up but simply copied from into a new folder. If that was the case you will have to copy the files back. Going forward get an external HD and begin backing. You can create a bootable clone using either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. If you ever upgrade to more contemporary version of OS X (Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion) you can begin using Time Machine too.

How can I completely wipe the hard drive with out the Mac OS X disc? I don't need any of the info on the computer.

You can't unless you have a bootable system on an external drive you can use. Otherwise, you need either the original disc that came with your computer or a retail copy of Snow Leopard DVD. The latter contains 10.6.3, so your model must be capable of booting from that or an earlier version of OS X.
You can purchase replacement discs from Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.

I have an extensive aperture library on my computer's hard drive and I want to break it up into separate smaller libraries on external hard drives. How do I take projects from one library and add them to another one?

Coastal,
Frank gave you the exact answer to your question.
However, I would like to ask if you are indeed asking the right question. Do you really want different libraries? The implications are that you have to "switch" libraries to see what's in the others, and so that your searches don't work across all of your pictures? If so, then you asked the right question. If not, you may be more interested in relocating your masters to multiple hard drives so your library gets smaller, instead of breaking up the library.

If you do not have a back up of the crashed hard drive you can download an app to copy from the iPhone to iTunes on the new hard drive.
I have used Pod2Mac. There is also Pod2PC.
There are numerous choices, some free, some payed. Do a Google search.
