    Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this? (Operating system is Windows Vista)

    This depends, if the music was purchased on the iTunes store you can transfer purchases. If it was not then you would need a 3rd party program in order to rip these files to the computer.

  • Can anybody tell me how to restore my computer to an earlier date?

    can anybody tell me how to restore my computer to an earlier date?

    If you have a Time Machine backup or bootable clone from that date, restore it. If not, you can't.

  • How do I close apps after I have updated them? I have 30 apps saying open.

    How do I close apps after I have updated them? I have 30 apps saying open after I have updated them.
    IPin other words, all of my updates are still showing on the screen after they have been updated.

    The word 'OPEN' next to the name of the app doesn't mean the app is running. Instead, it is a button you can use to launch the App.
    If you don't do anything, then the list will eventually disappear on its own, along with all those buttons saying 'OPEN'.

    hold c boot from the 10.6 disk, Erase the drive with Security option > Zero: Partition Option: GUID Format: OS X extended J, quit install 10.6, reboot
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3251
    Next you'll be in setup assistant,
    If the external drive is a TimeMachine drive you can restore, your done. 
    If TM is corrupt your screwed and need to perform data recovery options. Stop.
    If the external drive is a clone, hold the option key and boot from it, setup the internal drive and reverse clone.
    or
    If the external drive a clone then set the new machine up with either the same or a different user name depending if the clone is good or bad.
    Use the same name if the clone is bad, install your programs from fresh sources on the new drive, transfer files manually from the bad clone.
    Use a setup different name if the clone is good, use Utilities > Migration Assistant program on the clone drive to transfer everything over.
    You can use a same name with a good clone and chose to reinstall programs fresh and just transfer files you want from the good clone.
    If the external drive a storage drive (just files) then set the machine up with the same user name as before and transfer files manually.

  • How to restore my computer?

    Hi.
    I have a problem with my computer. I wanted to restore my computer for some reasons. The problem is that some days ago I opened it and nearly all of the programs and apps were deleted and obviously I don't know why. Even when I open the men Start there are no programs in all the folders in there.
    Need help!

    Hello Marti
    Your only option and of course easiest way to solve this strange issue, is recovery image installation.
    After doing this notebook will be the same as on the first day after purchase.
    Check the document posted by Timox. There you can find step-by-step instructions about HDD recovery installation.
    If everything will be ok and your machine starts properly please, as first thing, create recovery media and make recovery image back-up. You can do this using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool.
    If something goes wrong with recovery image saved on HDD or the HDD will be defective you will have bootable recovery media that you can use for recovery image installation. This is very, very important for you.
    I hope you will be able to reinstall OS on your machine. Some feedback would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do I keep Microsoft from adding things to my computer. I have updates off, and recently they have put two new things on that I know of-bacause they caused a problem with my computer.

    How do I keep Microsoft from adding things to my computer. I have automatic updates off (because one of their updates caused my computer to crash), but recently they placed an add-on for Firefox that required much time to remove, and they also added something else that caused Outlook to not work. I don't know what else they might have added that I know nothing about.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == The crash was a few years ago, the other two events were within the last couple of months.

    In terms of the Firefox add-ons, see http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/.NET+Framework+Assistant
    For MS installing things that are not part of Firefox, I think you're better off asking in a Windows forum.

    If Find My Phone is turned on, login to iCloud.com, using your computer, locate the phone, then erase it. This will remove the passcode without having to restore the phone.
    If you can't do that, you'll have to force the phone into recovery mode, & restore it.

  • HT1386 I have formated my computer many times without deauthrization of itunes and used deauthrize all pcs once in this year. Now how to deauthrize my computer because i have used all my 5 authrizatons on same computer and not able to authrize my new pc

    I have formated my pc many times without deauthrizing itunes. I have already used deauthrize all computers once a year. Now again i used all authrizations on the same pc due to fomating of the pc 5 times. Now how to deauthrize a formated pc.

    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
